“I will take good care of you. I will personally apologize to the village chief and will not implicate you.”

After saying that, Chu Yuanxi pulled Chu Wanwan and wanted to leave.

Chu Wanwan staggered forward and said unhappily, “That’s enough. I can’t be like this. We were in love before, but it’s different now. You’ve been gone for so long. I’ve also experienced all kinds of

sadness, and I’ve already let it go. Now you suddenly tell me that you’re still alive. What do you want me to do? Let’s not talk about anything else first. Just the relationship between the two of us can only be that of cousins now. There can’t be anything else.”

However, Chu Yuanxi did not believe her. He grabbed Chu Wanwan tightly and said, “Impossible. Why are you talking to me like this? You weren’t like this before. Did someone threaten you? Tell me! I’ll kill that person, and then we’ll go far away.”

Chu Wanwan felt helpless and frustrated.

Her cousin was really annoying. She had already said this, but he still pestered her.

She really hated his personality. If she did not need him to do something for her back then, things would not be like this.

At that time, she should not have provoked him.

“The eldest miss keeps her word. She has already promised to marry Jiu Zhu. Your current state won’t change anything,” the servant girl added.

“Besides, Jiu Zhu saved her life and helped the village a lot. Logically speaking, you should not make things difficult for her. Please let her go. When the time comes, if she needs anything, I’ll definitely let you know. I’ll also pay attention to her safety and won’t let you worry.”

Chu Yuanxi was in disbelief. He stared at the servant girl and said, “Why are you speaking up for Chu Wanwan now? Aren’t you my servant? I was the one who arranged for you to be by Chu Wanwan’s side. Besides, I’m doing this for her own good. Why are you trying to absolve her? Of course, I believe her. However, I still need proof.”

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Wanwan silently. He even took her hand and kissed her. “Chu Wanwan, my goal is to see us getting married. I will definitely give you a grand wedding some other day. Leave with me now and don’t stay in this place anymore.”

At this moment, Jiang Ming was listening to the people congratulating him while drinking wine. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed very happy.

However, in reality, only he knew that all of this was just a lie. After he obtained the Yellow Gall Grass, all of this would be nothing.

Just as he was thinking about it, a strange woman sneaked a glance at him, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.

Where did this person come from? Why did it feel like he knew her, but he had never seen her before?

As he continued to think, he suddenly heard the woman’s words.

“Young Master, you’re really handsome. What’s so good about marrying the eldest daughter of that place? Why don’t you marry me? I can give you endless wealth. As long as you’re willing, I can give you my body and mind.”

On the other side, Chu Yuanxi began to try to persuade Chu Wanwan using emotion and reason.

“Chu Wanwan, you swore to me that you would marry me eventually. Now that you’re marrying someone else, it’s equivalent to you breaking your promise. But I don’t blame you. I understand your

pain, but now everything should go back to normal. You should give me everything you promised me.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely treat you well. I have already saved up a lot of silver. We can travel the world and have fun. You don’t have to do anything in the future. You will have no worries about food and clothing. I’ll be your servant and serve you.”

Chu Wanwan felt disgusted by Chu Yuanxi’s feelings.

She might have been touched by these words before, but now she felt that they were lies.

She cleared her throat and said, “It’s already time. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it after everything is over. Chu Yuanxi, you should go back first. Don’t disturb me. If you really love me, you should do this.”

She became more and more self-righteous. She even pushed Chu Yuanxi away.

Chu Yuanxi sensed that something was wrong. He grabbed Chu Wanwan’s arm tightly and said, “Chu Wanwan, you weren’t like this before. How did you change so quickly? I’ve only been away for a year and a half. Is Jiu Zhu really that important to you? What kind of person is he?”

Before he could finish speaking, he was about to rush out.

He wanted to find that man.

He had thought it through. Only when Jiang Ming died could he be with Chu Wanwan.

Chu Wanwan saw Chu Yuanxi’s movements clearly and knew what he was thinking. She quickly took a step forward and tried to pull him back, but she failed and fell to the ground.

Her expression was pained when she fell.

Her body was not in a good condition to begin with, so she could not afford to suffer any setbacks.

She felt like she was going to be crippled.

Chu Yuanxi also squatted down.

“Chu Wanwan, are you alright? Do you need me to find a doctor to take a look at you? I told you, only I can take good care of you. Don’t talk now. Let’s go.”

As he spoke, he squatted down and wanted to carry Chu Wanwan. He had even thought of where to take her.

Chu Wanwan would rather die than submit. She shook her head vigorously.

“Chu Yuanxi, I really don’t want to leave. Besides, the servant girl has already made it clear. I can’t be ungrateful. Please leave. I’m begging you.”

Chu Yuanxi did not expect Chu Wanwan to say that. He could not help but stand rooted to the ground and look at her without moving his hand.

“Chu Wanwan, you weren’t like this before. What exactly happened? You have to tell me clearly. In that case, I can think of what to do.”

Chu Wanwan sighed.

“Times are different from the past. The past is already gone. Just pretend that I’m dead and go look for someone else. The chief will definitely be happy for you.”

“What do you mean by that? If that’s the case, then all the things we did and said before don’t count. You’re so heartless. You cut me off right away. We clearly had so many happy times before.”

Chu Yuanxi could not help but cry, his eyes filled with tears.

He had never cried for anyone, and he even felt that it was embarrassing for a man to cry.

However, he finally understood why men cried.
