The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

Soon, the Zhou family's carriage arrived at the Shenwei Marquis Mansion.

At the gate of Shenwei Marquis' Mansion, Su An and Su Wan were welcoming them with the servants.

"It's enough for me to discuss what's happening later with Mrs. Zhou. You can take Zhou Qingyu for a walk and talk." Su Wan said.

"I have talked to Madam Zhou. She is different from Sima Yue. She is willing to marry you."

"But she might be a little shy, so you just need to get to know her better."

Su An nodded.

Zhou Qingyu was indeed a little shy in the attic that day.

"You should be okay, right?" Su Wan said.

"Don't worry." Su An said.

"In fact, it would be enough if you treated her half as well as you did Sima Yue before."

Su Wan also felt that it was not a big problem. After all, Su An had been deeply in love with Sima Yue for so long, he must know how to coax a girl.

The Zhou family's carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Si Xue took Zhou Qingyu out of the carriage.

"Aunt, Qingyu." Su An stepped forward to greet her.

"Xiao An is truly a handsome man, a rare talent. No wonder Qingyu has been thinking about you these days." Si Xue said with a smile.

Su An looked at Zhou Qingyu and found that she did not avoid his gaze like she did last time.

Instead, she looked at him with dignity, gentleness and reserve, just as she did before.

But deep in her eyes, there was a hint of shyness and timidity.

"Aunt, you are too kind. Miss Zhou is both talented and beautiful. Everyone in the capital knows her." Su Wan also praised Zhou Qingyu.

The two men praised each other for a few words, and then everyone entered the marquis's mansion.

Su Wan and Si Xue were talking in the front, while Su An and Zhou Qingyu were walking side by side in the back.

The two were very close to each other. Zhou Qingyu was sorting out his thoughts. Si Xue said that she and Su An would have some time alone later.

She was thinking about how to express her love to Su An.

He is her future husband, and she hopes that they can be as loving and harmonious as described in poems and grow old together.

The group walked all the way to the lobby.

Su Wan exchanged glances with Su An, and Su An nodded in understanding.

"Qingyu, let's go for a walk in the back garden." Su An invited.

"Yeah." Zhou Qingyu brushed a few strands of hair behind his ears and nodded slightly.

The back garden of the marquis's mansion is full of flowers in full bloom.

The two walked side by side on the gravel path, with no maids or servants following them, just the two of them.

The two of them were very close to each other, almost touching.

Su An could smell a faint fragrance from Zhou Qingyu, a fresh scent of jasmine.

Her outfit was different from three days ago, more simple.

She was wearing a light blue-white gauze tasseled long skirt, her black hair was tied up with a light blue headband, her pretty face was not made up, and there were no hairpins in her hair. The long skirt fit her body tightly, revealing her curvaceous and exquisite curves.

Under the skirt, the jade feet in white boots were faintly visible as she walked.

In fact, Zhou Qingyu wanted to dress up, but was stopped by Si Xue.

Si Xue specially picked this outfit for her.

I have to say that Si Xue's vision is indeed on point.

A naturally beautiful woman like Zhou Qingyu, with her bare face, showing off her beautiful, youthful face and graceful figure, is attractive enough. Adding makeup would be superfluous.

At least Su An felt that Zhou Qingyu's outfit was more attractive than the one he wore three days ago.

Zhou Qingyu sorted out her thoughts, pursed her lips, and spoke first, "Su An, I... have something to say to you."

Su An turned his head and stared at her. Meeting Su An's gaze, Zhou Qingyu was not timid.

"Actually, it's different from what I said before. For this marriage, I'm not just following my parents' orders or the matchmaker's words."

"And because I like you."

"At first, I only admired you, your talent and your eagerness to learn."

"At that time, I thought that we might become very good friends, and you could even become my teacher in poetry."

"Until that night, I was ambushed. I hid in the closet for a long time. It was dark outside, and in the darkness were those who wanted to take my life."

"I was found by the ghost boy and was about to die. I was really desperate at that time. I thought I was going to die."

"At that time, it was you who arrived and saved me with Danqing."

"You took me out of the closet and comforted me."

"Since then, I found that I seemed to like you. I will look forward to meeting you and thinking of your smile every time."

"So when I heard my mother say, 'I want to marry you,' I was very surprised."

"Su An, I like you. I want to know how you see me in your heart."

Zhou Qingyu looked at Su An hopefully, even though she knew that Su An probably didn't have deep feelings for her right now.

But she hoped that her words would let Su An know her feelings for him.

I hope he agrees to this marriage not only because the elders of both families have already finalized the marriage, but also because he can treat me as a lover.

After hearing what Zhou Qingyu said, Su An was a little surprised.

It was something he expected that Zhou Qingyu had a good impression of him.

Although the story of a hero saving a beautiful girl is a bit cliché, it really works.

Su An was surprised that Zhou Qingyu would change his previous shyness and speak out this matter boldly.

Under Zhou Qingyu's expectant gaze, Su An slowly moved.

"Actually, just like you, the reason I agreed to this marriage was not because of my parents' orders or the matchmaker's words."

"You also know that I married Sima Yue despite the opposition of my father and sister."

"I paid the price for this later, and I eventually divorced my wife.

"This matter is a secret of the Shenwei Marquisate, but since you are my future wife, I will tell you."

"The conflict between Sima Yue and me is deeper and more complicated than the outside world guesses."

"So much so that for some reason, she and I have not consummated our marriage for more than a month after getting married."

Su An did not consummate his marriage with Sima Yue.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Qingyu was first incredulous, and then surprised.

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, who doesn’t want their significant other to keep their first time for them?

"After this failed marriage, I realized that marriage is a serious matter and that you should find the right person for yourself before you get married."

"I also really know what kind of woman I want to marry."

In front of us, there is a pavilion hidden among the flowers and trees, built beside the water.

Su An took Zhou Qingyu's hand and walked towards the pavilion.

Zhou Qingyu's delicate body trembled, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, but she did not struggle and let Su An hold her hand.

It is morning now, the sky is bright and the birds are singing.

Su An took Zhou Qingyu by the hand and came to the edge of the pavilion.

In the lotus pond outside the pavilion, lotus flowers are in full bloom and koi carp are swimming.

Su An stopped and faced Zhou Qingyu, still holding her hand.

His voice was steady and steady. "Qingyu, I find that you have everything I want in my other half."

"Whether it's conduct, character, appearance, family background or talent."

"Among so many women, you are the most suitable one for me. You are the perfect other half in my mind."

"Otherwise, if I was able to insist on marrying Sima Yue in the past, I can naturally insist on marrying a woman who is not my ideal now."

As he spoke, Su An gently reached out his hand and tidied up Zhou Qingyu's hair.

This intimate gesture made Zhou Qingyu's heart tremble.

She looked at Su An, pursed her lips slightly, with deep affection in her eyes.

She thought that today was just her way of expressing her love to Su An.

Unexpectedly, he also had so much to say to me.

Although this was not a confession, there was meaning in his words.

Not only did he not marry me because of his parents' orders or the matchmaker's words, but he also felt that I was the only one he could have.

It was as if I was his destined one.

Although his words did not reveal his love for her, any confession was more touching.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Su An tenderly, his heart filled with joy and sweetness.

Su An lowered his head slightly, put his arms around Zhou Qingyu's soft waist, and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

Zhou Qingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a charming blush appeared on her pretty face.

After the kiss, Su An did not let her go, but held her in his arms.

Zhou Qingyu buried her head in Su An's arms, completely confused by Su An's series of actions. She was as pure as a blank sheet of paper when it came to relationships between men and women, so how could she withstand such teasing from Su An?
