Chapter 151: Dragon Boat Festival (Section Middle) 1

“Um… Luo…I can’t take it anymore…” Both of her legs were on his shoulders. As her body was entirely like jelly she couldn’t help but groan under his body.

“Be patient…” His hardness burying inside her moved faster. Sweat dropped from his forehead and onto her blushing, naked body, which sparked his flame of desire harder.

“Ah!” After a wave of vehement thrusting, he and she came together to the paradise of pleasure they had dreamed for the entire six months; they couldn’t escape that state after a long time…

Yes, it’s true. This time, he had been gone for half a year. No one knew where he went. Or, to be exact, no one had ever told her whom he had accompanied… Or, he was engulfed by loneliness every night just like she was…

He indulged himself to linger in her body for a while. He stood up and went to the simple bathroom behind their bedroom.

Jiang Ying Yun closed her eyes, trying not to let her tears roll. After the Mid-Autumn Festival’s night three years ago that she had initially given herself to him when he was drunk, every time he came to He Yuan for the special occasions, they would sneakily meet up and have an intimate time… She had disdained herself every time she recalled the moments. However, every time he returned safe and sound, she couldn’t help but want to hug him, kiss him, want… his… Even though he considered her not more than a prostitute… It was okay…

“Why are you crying?” A rough voice interrupted her thought. She raised her hand to wipe the tears brimming at the corners of her eyes, trying to restrain herself before slowly opening her eyes.

Si Luo furrowed his brows. He sat by the bed and studied her. Seeing tears rolling from the corners of her eyes, many strange emotions crossed his heart. Did he pity her? Ha… He was a ruthless assassin, did he know how to pity people? What a joke!

But why did his heart ache when he saw her pretending it was nothing. He silently watched her wipe her tears, stood up, and put on her torn undershirt he had ripped from her body and shrouded herself with a wrinkled coat.

“Now that you’re back… When do you plan to depart again?” Jiang Ying Yun took a deep breath, trying to sound calm.

Si Luo shot her a strange glance, he was still hurt and accidentally burtled out: “What? You want to drive me away?”

Drive him away? No no no, she was desperate to make him stay!

“You… are not going anymore?” Did he mean what she understood?

“We’ll see. Why are you asking this?” He avoided her bright eyes. Walking toward the window, he casually flipped through the pages of a random book. He and his sword had wandered Jianghu for too long. Three years ago, he had actively left to avoid her. However, during three years, every time he returned, she had proactively come to his embrace. Everytime he left, he would leave with bits of her in his heart. Although he was still alone, he was no longer concerned. Moreover, he has had her so many times. No matter what, he should give her a proper title, right?

“Nothing. Then… I should get going.” She checked herself before gently making her way to him. She really wanted to hug him, but his deliberate alienation dauted her. She stood still and contemplated for a moment before she smiled faintly and turned to the door.

“Come back here.” He turned around and called her. Seeing her surprised face, he suddenly felt satisfied. In front of the others, she was always the sly shopkeeper, who could calculate everything beforehand. Only when she stood in front of him, she was more of a weak girl.

“You… What did you just say?” Jiang Ying Yun blinked her eyes, asking him to confirm. Did she hear correctly? He wanted her to return and stay by his side? He didn’t want her to leave, right?

Si Luo didn’t say a word when he stepped forward and pulled her back to his bed. He fished out a deep green emerald bangle out of nowhere and put it on her wrist.

“This is…” Jiang Ying Yun studied the bangle on her wrist then lifted her head to look at him. “You…”

“What? You don’t like it?” He frowned and intended to pull the bangle off of her wrist. However, she held it tight. “No, don’t take it,” she said embarrassedly. “Since you gave it to me, it’s mine now.” How could she let her surprised face ruin his wholehearted first attempt at pleasing her?

“I’m really happy… Si Luo…” Jiang Ying Yun sobbed out in happiness. Damn her tears! How could it casually come out without regarding the current situation!

“So people can express their happiness this way…” Si Luo smiled. Her reaction was beyond his expectation. It had also inspired him, who used to disdain love. He wanted to continue to do more to keep her happy.

“You can keep laughing at me. As long as you’re not avoiding me… It’s okay if you laugh at me…” She wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her head into his warm and broad chest. She was so happy she started to babble.

“Sigh…” He lifted her face, sighing. “I’m not a good person…”

“I don’t care…” She shook her head, choking with her sobs.

“I’ve been killing people since I was twelve. My hands are full of blood…”

“I don’t care…”

“I don’t know how to take care of people…”

“I will take care of you…”

“…”

“I’ll support you in everything you want to do. As long as you do not abandon me here and leave for another six months… Please…”

Sigh, what could he say? This woman was willing to give up everything to follow him. What more could he ask for?

“Let’s get married, Ying Yun…” He whispered his promise into her ear. “I’ve owed you this proposal for three years.”

The Dragon Boat Festival dinner in He Yuan eventually turned into a simple wedding between Jiang Ying Yun and Si Luo. It surprised everyone, except for Su Shuilian.

“Although he proposed to you, it’s too rushed to get married tonight!” Su Shuilian frowned in disapproval. It was just two hours away from the wedding ceremony and she was sitting with Jiang Ying Yun in the Lin family’s bedroom, waiting for the auspicious time. The ceremony would be held in Bamboo Garden.

“It’s okay. It’s just a ceremony.” Jiang Ying Yun smiled weakly. She was already so happy when he proposed to her. So, she wouldn’t mind if their wedding was to be solemn or not.

“But… Your sister would be so mad.” Imagining Jiang Ying Yun’s expression when Situ Yun came and told her the news, Su Shuilian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“She will surely be happy.” The corners of Jiang Ying Yun’s mouth lifted. Admiring herself in a light layer of makeup, she felt already satisfied.

“She has prepared several carriages of dowry for you.” Su Shuilian smiled reluctantly, pointing at Jiang Ying Yun’s forehead. “You, you’re even braver than Jing Zhi.” She had sneakily been with Si Luo for three whole years. But it couldn’t be said “been with him”. They had just met several times but they… every time…

“You should be more experienced than me. Why are you still blushing?” Jiang Ying Yun saw her shy face. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and tease.

“Cough…” Su Shuilian faked a cough to hide her blushing face. “I’m going outside to check. If you need anything, call Feng Ting. She’s waiting outside.”

“Alright. I’m okay. I just need to wait for two more hours and I can marry him when the auspicious time comes, right?” Jiang Ying Yun waved her hand, urging Su Shuilian to leave and do her business.

She was about to get married, and he just proposed to her around six hours ago. She was going to be his wife. As she was afraid that he would regret his decision, she refused to return to the embroidery house or prepare more items. She only asked Shuilian to send someone to notify her sister and invite her sister here to join the ceremony so she would receive her bows during the wedding ceremony.

Her sister’s temper was not small, but she would understand eventually. No matter what, Jiang Ying Yue should feel happy as her sister was about to get married. From now on, she doesn’t need to spend more effort to find a husband for her younger sister…
