"Father pursued me relentlessly, but in the end, your mother had no choice but to compromise." Chen Lin recently recalled the days when he and his wife were in love, yet he still felt as sweet as honey.

Chen Xiao's jaw dropped. "Ah?" Father, you hit my mother? "

"No, that's not what dad meant when he said to chase after him."

No matter how smart a child was, it would never be able to pass the barrier of youth.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Let's cook."

"Alright." The father and son pair, who were living together, busied themselves in the kitchen.

Chen Xiao was really quick-witted. After returning home, he changed out of his clothes and secretly hid them, not letting his father discover them.

If Chen Lin knew that his son had dealings with Wei He and the others, he would definitely be angered to death.

The next day, his plans changed. Due to the rain, Chen Lin stayed close to home and did not chop firewood.

Qi He could only stay in the inn and wait for the weather to clear.

However, there was an old saying, "The sky cannot predict the wind and clouds."

Yun Luo, who was living at the Spirit Mountain, was sitting on the bed reading a book with great interest.

"Yu, this novel is so well written." Yun Luo rarely said a word to ignore Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu was standing by the window, quietly watching the rain outside, "Okay."

"What is it? You're in a bad mood? " Yun Luo seemed to have sensed something and put down the book in her hands. She walked up and hugged his waist, pressing her face against his back in an attempt to warm him up.

"No, it's just that some things are hard to understand." All that Nangong Yu could see was the earthworms that were trying their best to crawl on the ground.

Yun Luo smiled. "Can you tell me something?"

Actually, she could probably think of something. After all, they had been together for so long, and they had a tacit understanding.

"Some people are willing to wait for their entire lives just for a person they love and never meet even in their entire lives. Say, is it worth it?" Nangong Yu turned his head and asked the woman behind his.

He had been waiting for her to really fall in love with him. Perhaps the day was far away, but time could not kill his patience.

It was just that her ambiguous attitude towards him made it difficult for him to differentiate between them.

She could make the most intimate gesture to herself, she could give her body to him without loving him, she could even sacrifice her life for herself, but that was not love.

Everything that was beautiful was always a little bit imperfect. If making her fall in love with him was a form of torture, would he be able to continue?

Did loving someone just to force her to love him?

"Of course it's worth it. The heavens are just, so there will be a reward for your hard work. Yu-Yu, can you trust me?"

She understood him and waited for an unknown result. The road was tough, but it was also hard.

"How could I not believe you?" Nangong Yu turned around and intimately scratched her nose, "I already said that I only believe in you, did you forget?"

It just so happened that Shangguan Li walked in. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "Brother Nan Gong and Lady Yun Luo are really enviable."

Yun Luo said embarrassedly, "Actually, they are all old husbands and wives. I've let the princess make a fool of me."

To be honest, the word 'old man and wife' really didn't suit the two of them. This was because their relationship hadn't even lasted a year.

However, many things that happened were enough to make him recall his memories for the rest of his life.

"It's raining today, so I'm sure you two would be bored staying in your houses. How about we go down the mountain together?"

"Sure." Yun Luo naturally wished for it too much. After reading for so long, relaxing a bit wasn't too bad either.

Just like that, Shangguan Li brought them down the mountain, and they met someone along the way.

It was Master Luo who was in the toilet last time.

As for Mo Qingcheng and her wife, they had long felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. They obediently packed their stuff and left, not forgetting to go to the kitchen to steal two roast ducks as well.

When Shangguan Li heard the news, he did not think much of it. He would not have issued the wanted order for the two roasted ducks.

Young Master Luo had a huge hobby — lechery.

He was overjoyed to see a beauty.

Therefore, his love for Shangguan Min could be considered love at first sight.

"Young Master Luo, unfortunately, we are going down the mountain." Shangguan Li cupped his hands.

Actually, everyone knew what kind of heart he had for Shangguan Min. However, Second Miss was too arrogant and cold, as if she didn't put men in her eyes.

It was more difficult to chase after a woman who was restrained.

It was precisely because of this that the challenge became even more challenging.

"I've just come up from the foot of the mountain, so I won't be accompanying you. Please forgive me." There was a trace of regret in Master Luo's voice.

The hem of Luo Leyan's clothes had become a lot more wet as she held up the umbrella. In her hands, she held an exquisite embroidered box.

Yun Luo noticed the thing in his hand and joked, "Is this a present for Second Miss? "You sure are considerate."

"Does Miss want to see it?" Luo Leyan brought the box to her face.

Yun Luo quickly refused, "That's not good, right?"

After all, it was something he had spent so much effort to give Shangguan Min that he had seen in advance.

Nangong Yu held onto his umbrella, feeling that this woman was a little laughable. He was clearly extremely curious, yet he still pretended to be like this. Could a fox spirit not be more sincere?

Luo Leyan was magnanimous and said, "It's alright. I don't know what a lady is thinking. It just so happens that I need your help to take a look."

After all, the Second Miss wasn't an ordinary girl. If she didn't like what he gave her, then the one who would lose face would be herself. How could he lose face in front of the one he loved?

"Alright then." Yun Luo took it over and opened the box. Inside was a hairpin, red in color and extremely stunning.

Shangguan Li nodded repeatedly. "Second Sis likes red. If Brother Luo gave it to her, she would definitely like it."

Yun Luo also agreed, "That's right, this hairpin looks noble and generous, just right for the second miss' cold and elegant temperament."

"Then, I'll have to thank the princess and the young lady for their blessings."

After a simple farewell, Luo Leyan excitedly went up the mountain and arrived at the long corridor that Shangguan Min had to pass through.

"Second Miss, may I have a few words?"

Shangguan Min raised her head arrogantly and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I still have things to do."

"Just a few words." Luo Leyan refused to give up. After all, she had not yet given away the item and there was no reason for her to give it up halfway.

Shangguan Min saw the brocade box in his hand and guessed something, but she still didn't look happy. "I can't accept your intentions."

His words were resolute and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

"Why?" Luo Leyan felt quite disappointed in her heart.

Shangguan Min waved her sleeves. "I can't marry a man who only likes his looks."

"But I …" Luo Leyan was about to explain something when Shangguan Min interrupted him.

"No buts, if I cut my face right now and ruined it, are you sure you like me?" Shangguan Min smiled contemptuously. Having a good background, she naturally had the right to choose.

Even if she was born from a concubine, she was still the Old Princess's only daughter.

"Everyone loves beauty. It's not my fault." Luo Leyan explained his reasoning.

Is it sinful for a man to pursue a beautiful woman? Did he have to find an extremely ugly woman to spend the rest of his life with, in order to show how pure his character was? This was too bizarre.
