Chapter 147: Three Courtyard Mansions Become One (Section Begin) 2

“We have a date at Luo Shui, remember! You agreed earlier this morning.” Liang En Zai placed both of his hands on the table. His upper body leaned forward a little bit to imprison the other’s petite body in his chest.

“Don’t talk about this morning!” Yang Jing Zhi hissed. When he mentioned this morning, she couldn’t help but turn rosy. Damn! She definitely wanted to stay away from this charming, evil man, but she couldn’t help but sink into his repeated teasing.

Talking about time, the night of her birthday’s two years ago, they had shared a night that only a husband and wife would. And they have since kept privately communicating.

When she sobered up, she kept reminding herself that he wasn’t someone she could touch. In five years, he would leave this place and return to imperial city to be a Wangye.

However, when the night fell and he kept her in his embrace, she continued to sink. She was always confused and at a loss when it came to Liang En Zai. He would always knock on her door for a date or offer some suggestion that she couldn’t help but agree with. For example, going with him to Luo Shui Private Mansion.

Three years ago, Liang En Zai bought Luo Shui Town on his own. So, the last small town by Fan Luo City had followed Fan Hua Town and Qing Tian Town. He had renovated the town into his garden-styled private mansion.

He had reminded her so many times that it was their home in the future. Even though she was touched, she didn’t dare to believe in him. He has heavy responsibility on his shoulders. How could she make him stay in this remote corner and live a common life with her?

He should make plans and discuss how to manage the country with the imperial officials in the court. He should control the military, negotiate or conquer the enemies at Da Hui’s borders… It should be the future Liang En Zai should have… A humbler girl like her could never be a good match to a man like him… He and she shouldn’t have started… But why…

Liang En Zai sighed. He knew the girl in front of him was lost in her own thoughts again.

So his efforts during the whole three years weren’t clear enough to her? Wasn’t it enough to make her believe that he could actually give up everything just for her…

“Let’s go!” He didn’t want to linger, pulling her out of the obstetrics and gynecology room.

“Wait… Wait… En Zai, I still have patients waiting for me…” She helplessly resisted his strong arms as he was dragging her out to the consultation room.

“You have patients every day.” He meant she would never finish her job here.

“But…” She couldn’t just leave halfway and make the patients wait in vain.

“No ‘but’s. I’ve always listened to you. You said we shouldn’t be public. Okay, I’d wait. You said the clinic’s very important. Okay, I’d wait. I’m waiting for one day you want to publicize our relationship. I’m waiting for one day you would spend time and find me proactively… Xi Xi, answer me and be honest. Does that day exist?” Resolutely, he stopped, and didn’t hurry to open the door. He turned her face to face, making her face his question.

“I…” She paled, biting her lower lip. How should she answer? Of course, she wanted to publicize their relationship and proudly announce to the girls who wanted to be with him that he was hers. But… Could she do that?

Liang En Zai’s eyes gazed at her every move. He took in her hesitation and agony in his eyes.

“You should know I have never been afraid of anything. But in front of you, I’m no different from a teenager that doesn’t know how to make you happy, how to make you count on me, and let me indulge you…” His husky voice was like a magic spell to her. It prevented her from saying any hurtful words…

They quietly faced each other. He looked down, gazing at her with eyes full of passion. She lowered her head, and didn’t dare to look at him. She would be deceiving herself if she were to say that she wasn’t touched by what he had just confessed. But still, she didn’t know how to face him. This Liang En Zai was unfamiliar to her, but he had touched her heart.

In her previous life, she hadn’t had a chance to taste love. She had spent her time only on studying and work. Being a doctor was a tough profession. If they wanted to succeed, the time and efforts they had to spend wouldn’t be something others could ever imagine.

Even though she was granted an extra life, what she had improved was just her attainment in medicines. She was just an amateur when it came to love.

How could it turn into this? Yang Jing Zhi was still absent-minded. She just remembered that she and Liang En Zai were in the clinic when a group of patients had broken in and smilingly pushed them out of the clinic. Then, he took her, while still in his arms, into the horse carriage parked outside the clinic, and headed straight to Luo Shui Private Mansion.

“You have a big group of supporters.” Liang En Zai lightly smiled. “If I had known giving my confession in the clinic could bear such good results, I would have done it a long time ago…”

Yang Jing Zhi silently glanced at him. How could he be so calm?

He was the Castellan. He should remain elegant and well-mannered in front of his people, shouldn’t he? How could he act so recklessly?

It seemed… to him, the Castellan position wasn’t something he had desired. It was something he could catch as easy as flipping his hand, but he didn’t want to let it go.

Of course. He was supposed to be a dignified Wangye with military power. How could he consider being the Fan Luo City’s Castellan something important? But if he said he didn’t care, why did he contribute so much these three years? Compared to the Castellans of the surrounding cities, he had brought to this city great changes, which could be said to be astounding.

In the end, which one was he? The elegant man with great sense of humor she met the first time in the palace many years ago, or the leader who had led Fan Luo City and its citizens to prosperity, or the gentle, vigorous but also stubborn man who didn’t allow her to avoid or deny him when in private?
