Hearing Wu Shan's words, Mu Chuyang thought for a moment.
What Wu Shan said was not unreasonable. As a man who could support both heaven and earth, who would not wish to possess the ability to protect their loved one?
This was also the reason why Mu Chuyang wanted to accompany the Prince Mu to the border regions in the first place. Firstly, to show compassion to the border troops, and increase his military morale, and secondly, to give himself a chance to train and become strong, so that he could become a hero in Duan Yunfei's heart. He hoped that when Duan Yunfei needed it, he could become Duan Yunfei's strong support even if Duan Yunfei did not know of his feelings for her.
Mu Chuyang was somewhat regretful. If he had not heard Qing Yi's words today, and impulsively went to find Duan Yunfei, and told her what she had kept hidden in his heart for so many years, the relationship between Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang would not have become this awkward. Mu Chuyang really did not know how to face Duan Yunfei in the future, or how to get along with her.
However, if not for this chance, Mu Chuyang did not know if he would keep these words in his heart for the rest of his life.
However, since things had already turned out this way, there was no point in regretting it.
Wu Shan had originally thought that Mu Chuyang was only mumbling to himself, because a long time had passed since he had asked this question.
"That night, just like you, I was drinking in the inn, and just like you, my wine cup was taken away by someone else. As expected, our encounters in each other's lives were the same." Wu Shan recalled the scene from that night and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"However, after being scolded by Xiu Huang, I finally understood. Can you imagine that Xiu Huang, who had always been a noble and elegant man, would actually scold others? But thanks to Xiu Huang, if not, I would have been trapped in self-blame for a long time. After returning from Wu Dun, I went to the training ground every day and stayed there for the entire day. Mother and Father even thought that I had suffered some sort of provocation and talked to me about it, but I didn't tell them that I was going there for Xiao Yang, but only said that I was going to protect my home and country in the future. "
The corner of Wu Shan's mouth drooped, "Chu Yang, actually, I also have some pressure, Xiao Yang … Although she is Yun Fei's most capable maid, you should know that my parents are unable to accept my future wife's identity. But how could I bear to make her only be my concubine in the future? Don't look at Xiao Yang happily all day, actually she has his own will and is very strong. If he could only be a concubine, she would definitely not marry me, right? That's why I want to become even more powerful, so strong that I can decide on my own in the future marriage, strong enough to protect her, do you understand? "
The more Wu Shan spoke, the more excited he got, and he drank a few cups of wine. The shopkeeper went to find Wu Shan to persuade him, but they both shouted at the same time. If the shopkeeper knew things would turn out like this, he would probably regret it.
"Wu Shan, when are you going to express your feelings to Xiao Yang?" Mu Chuyang was curious, maybe it was because the alcohol was stronger tonight, or maybe he could truly feel the pity from the two brothers.
It was all because he had a girl he liked in his heart. It was all because his own liking was unknown.
"Perhaps …" It will be years later, when I become famous? When I have the ability, when I can lead her home in broad daylight, when... But these things, who would have thought? Some things still depended on the will of the heavens. Just like you, you never would have thought that you would suddenly say these things to Yun Fei. "
Mu Chuyang laughed, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Yeah, it's not as good as being in the heavens." Do you know, today I also told Yun Fei, if she doesn't want to follow His Majesty's words and marry a man I don't know, I can go to His Majesty and ask him to marry Yun Fei to me. However … Wu Shan, Yun Fei said that she cannot accept this … Would she be more willing to marry someone she had never touched before than to marry me? You didn't even know that at that time, I felt my heart being tightly gripped, and then being torn to shreds. "
Wu Shan never thought that Mu Chuyang would actually say all these things to him. The arrogant Mu Chuyang, the pride of the Prince Mu, would actually say these words in such a lowly manner.
"Chu Yang, this is probably because you're thinking too much. You also know that Yun Fei doesn't mean that. Her words were just a confession towards you, and she didn't react for a moment. She can't accept your proposal, but she can't accept the fact that you, who have always been her brother, are actually a man and a woman. After all, in her world, if she does that, she will be making use of you. How do you think she will face you in peace for the rest of her life? "" Chu Yang, you should know Yun Fei's personality very well.
Wu Shan did not say anymore. He had said enough tonight, as for whether or not Mu Chuyang could communicate with him, the key was still himself.
Just like that, Mu Chuyang and Wu Shan continued to drink. When the Jade House was about to close, the shopkeeper went upstairs and realized that the two of them had drank too much.
The shopkeeper facepalmed. If he knew things would turn out like this, he might as well not call Wu Shan over. Now, another drunk person had appeared.
The shopkeeper called for the waiter, "How about this, send Young Master Wu Shan back to Wei Yuan Residence, I will bring him back. As for what people in the manor are asking about, you said you don't know. This isn't the time for commoners like us to talk too much, do you understand? "
"I understand." With that said, the waiter carried Wu Shan and left. With Wu Shan's figure, the waiter had difficulty walking, and after walking for a bit, he would need to rest a bit. However, he had walked for a long time on the path that was originally not too far.
The shopkeeper brought Mu Chuyang back to the Prince Mu's Mansion, and when they reached the entrance, the butler who had been waiting for Mu Chuyang immediately shouted out, "The Young Prince is back."
Prince Mu and Prince's Wife Mo immediately rushed out from the inside, and in the end, they saw Mu Chuyang, who was completely drunk, standing next to the shopkeeper.
Prince Mu was already angry that Mu Chuyang had left the palace without saying a word. Now that he saw Mu Chuyang in such a state, his anger rose once more, and he couldn't help but wish that Mu Chuyang could stay outside the manor. But how could the Prince's Wife Mo bear to do so?
Only after the butler led Mu Chuyang to the manor did the shopkeeper return to the Jade House.
