Chapter 515: Chapter 516, Chu Yu Proposes
Something was amiss, heralding the presence of demons.
Just as Yun Jinnian intended to twist his body a little, Chu Yu began to move.
"..."
Chu Yu grasped Yun Jinnian’s waist with one hand and the nape of her neck with the other.
He leaned down and captured her lips with a kiss.
Yun Jinnian’s face flushed red, and her eyes grew somewhat moist.
"Huff, huff!" Chu Yu breathed heavily.
He reached out to hold Yun Jinnian tightly in his embrace, "I’m sorry!"
Upon hearing his words, Yun Jinnian took several deep breaths, thinking she would cry, but in the end, she did not.
"What on earth is going on?" she asked softly, pushing at Chu Yu’s chest, trying to push him away.
But Chu Yu held her tight and spoke solemnly, "Jinfeng slipped an aphrodisiac into the soup she gave me and even prepared a woman for me!"
"..."
When he heard Jinfeng mention it casually, he was so angry that he could have exploded.
If he had wanted a woman, he could have sought pleasure immediately after getting rid of the poison, once his body was well, but because he had Yun Jinnian in his heart, he did not want to face her with a defiled body. He distanced himself from any woman who approached him, fearing that a bad reputation would make Yun Jinnian look down on him.
This sister of his really stepped out of line by managing the affairs of his bedroom.
"She..."
Yun Jinnian was also at a loss for words.
Regardless of whether Chu Yu was right or not, if he truly had another woman, could she remain indifferent?
No, burdened by her past life and her parents’ broken vows because of a concubine, she was determined not to share a husband with another woman.
"Don’t plead for her. Let her think it through herself. If she doesn’t understand, she’s not to leave the house!"
Chu Yu was fiercely angry.
If she wanted to get married, no matter to a tradesman or a commoner, as long as she liked him and he liked her, and they were devoted to each other and lived a good life, he would agree.
He would allow her to be whimsical in all things, but sending a woman to his bed was not acceptable.
After a moment of silence, Yun Jinnian pushed at Chu Yu, but still couldn’t move him, and said softly, "Let me feel your pulse!"
"It’s alright, I’m feeling much better now. Just leave me a pill later to clear the heat and calm the fire!" Chu Yu said, hugging Yun Jinnian a little tighter.
"Jinnian..."
"Hmm?"
"How about tomorrow, I ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage?"
Yun Jinnian was shocked, "Grant us a marriage?"
"Yes, grant us a marriage. Jinnian, is it alright if we marry first? After getting married, I’ll wait for you to grow up!" Chu Yu promised fervently.
Yun Jinnian’s face turned red.
She fell silent.
Seeing Yun Jinnian’s reaction, Chu Yu knew she did not wish to marry him, and it pained him deeply.
He understood that Yun Jinnian was fond of him, but the idea of marrying no one but him was probably still a far cry away.
He gently stroked Yun Jinnian’s hair, "It’s okay, take your time to think. If you don’t agree, I won’t act rashly!"
Even if he were to propose, he would first inform Princess and Mrs. Han with Yun Jinnian’s consent, and only with Mrs. Han’s approval would he then enter the palace to request an Imperial Decree.
