Special 4: Flower Marriage (2)

Since that day, she no longer mentioned if it was appropriate or not. And he still came over to feed her three meals a day, and she quietly cooperated with recuperating the sword wound on her back.

When her injury healed, he would have less reason to come here, she thought.

Fortunately, she didn’t let her parents know about her injury, otherwise, it would be hard for her to keep this peacefulness. This man’s mouth was enough for her to endure. She wasn’t stupid to recruit a few more elders to nagg at her. Except for Aunt Yue, the others, including her mother, will definitely make her drown in distressed tears and gentle exhortations.

But what’s with the situation now?

Lin Long was stunned to see herself being held in front of the dressing table by a bunch of enthusiastic married women. They were holding her face, putting on makeup, doing her hair, changing into a wedding dress… Wait… a wedding dress?

When was she going to get married?

“Mother?” She turned to her mother, who was smiling as she smoothing out the folds of her wedding dress. She suspiciously inquired: “What’s going on?” She had thought they were celebrating her recovery, but she never thought about this type of celebration.

“Of course it’s a marriage.” Su Shuilin didn’t have time to answer, so Jiang Yingyun replied with a hearty smile: “Long’er, don’t be nervous, that kid, Xiang Sheng, has taken care of everything; we were all idle. Just need to accompany you.”

“Xiang Sheng?” So, he wanted to marry her on his own accord? What should she say? That she was unwilling?

In the end, she married him. She married a man who knew her better than his own sister. The reason was simple: she needed a man who could take care of her when she was injured without any regrets. Although this reason is not the most important in her heart, what does it matter? Just consider it as if that the expected plan she set had turned a corner. Although there was a twist in events, the direction was still moving towards her established goal.

Correct. She, Lin Long, the master of Feng Yao Court, will not use this unreasonable excuse to abandon the organization she had been fighting for the past five years. She believed that the man will not restrain her like this, otherwise, he will not marry her.

So, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, at age eighteen, she married into the Xiang family.

The lingering taste at night made her start to look forward to this unexpected marriage.

“Morning.” Xiang Sheng’s deep voice resounded in her ears. Turning around, she was pulled into his bare chest.

“Was last night okay?” He glanced at her body, which was also unclothed. On her fair skin were red marks that he had worked so hard for all night. This discovery made him extremely happy.

Lin Long’s ears instantly became hot. She didn’t mind being swept all over by his fiery eyes, but she couldn’t open her mouth to describe last night’s record.

“Take a day’s rest. Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial capital to visit my uncle and aunt.” He lightly chuckled, got up, and put on his robe, hugged her lazily, and walked to the bathroom in the back of the bedroom.

“Imperial city?” She frowned. It will take at least six days to come and go. “The Court… can’t go.” She could imagine his next expression. Perhaps, he will start to intervene in her business and persuade her to give up Feng Yao Court from now on. Just reside in his backyard, embroidering clothes and making soup for him…

“I know. Fangchen will reassure you. During the few days you’re away, he will take over for you. I promise you will return to an intact Feng Yao Court.” Xiang Sheng grinned lightly.

Although it was difficult to understand why Situo did not pass Feng Yao Court to his own eldest son, Si Fangchen, but instead to Lin Long, who was a woman. However, this was the decision of the elders, and Lin Long really did take care of the Court well, so he will not interfere.

Lin Long raised her head in surprise and looked at Xiang Sheng. He did not take advantage of the situation to persuade her to give up Feng Yao Court, nor did he blame her for disregarding the rules of her in-law’s family and only focusing on the affairs of the Court… He… was this him showing his support for her to continue her role in Feng Yao Court?

“Silly, that is your hard work. I won’t be so ignorant. Besides, with it keeping your attention, I won’t worry about leaving you alone when I’m busy.” Arriving at the bathroom, Xiang Sheng put her down, tapped the tip of her delicate nose, and explained softly: “I knew from five years ago that if I want to marry you, then I have to marry Feng Yao Court, too. Woman, I have been preparing for so many years, just so that you can marry me without any worries. To be my wife: my wife who could stand side by side with me. You can’t deprive me of my intentions.”

“Xiang Sheng…” She murmured his name. She really didn’t know that he would attach so much importance to her and the affairs she loved. This discovery made her a little overwhelmed.

“Perhaps, we can just rest on the bed without going out today…” He hugged her tightly, not letting her have any room to refuse.

Heavens knows how long he prepared and endured in order to let her only have him in her heart, in order to let her marry him as his wife without protest… even at the expense of being laughed at by her Borther’s League members, whom privately joked that he was dumb**. Although he didn’t expect her to fall in love with him, he didn’t want her to marry him because she had to bear the responsibility of being eaten by him.

Now that she was his rightful wife, he can eat her openly. Not to mention seven times a night, even if he was lying on the bed with her everyday, he was not afraid of her wanting to stray… He was actually a very ** man… Of course, the target must be her—the bride who he had fallen in love with at first sight eight years ago…
