Hearing this, Fang Xingtong looked up at Li Zhongwu and asked with an unexpected expression: "Why do you suddenly ask me this question?"
Li Zhongwu: "Answer me first!"
Fang Xingtong was a little hesitant. Before Li Zhongwu agreed to marry her, there were some things she felt she shouldn't tell him.
Moreover, she suddenly thought: The Seventh Princess personally recruited him before, but he declined. If she tells him her true relationship with the Seventh Princess now, he will definitely worry about what will happen to her after she gets together with me.
If I was forced to board the Seventh Princess's ship, he would most likely reject my proposal.
Thinking of this, Fang Xingtong laughed at himself and said: "What do you think? She is a princess, and my status is too different from hers. Although my family is somewhat related to her, but how good is my relationship with her?
Do you think that's possible?"
Li Zhongwu felt a little disappointed.
On the way here, he was still thinking that if she had a good relationship with the seventh princess, and if the seventh princess was not afraid of the third prince, then after he married her, even the third prince would still have to deal with him, but for the sake of the seventh princess
Yes, the Third Prince's people probably wouldn't attack Fang Xingtong.
In this way, he can marry her with confidence.
but now……
Sighing in his heart, Li Zhongwu said: "It's not convenient for me to interact with you publicly recently, let alone marry you. If you are willing to wait, let's talk about it later?"
Fang Xingtong looked at him blankly.
She came here for an appointment today and was mentally prepared for this.
But when she actually heard the words of rejection coming from his mouth, she still felt sour in her heart.
This sour feeling made her unable to tell whether she had fallen in love with him or not.
She knew in her heart that she pursued him in the first place because of the seventh princess's will.
But in the process of chasing him, she gradually felt that he was quite good. Although he was not the kind of handsome guy who was stunning at first glance, his appearance and figure were not bad. The most important thing was that his kung fu was stronger than she imagined.
Moreover, his personality is not annoying to her.
The more times she spent alone with him, she gradually felt that it would be pretty good if she really married him.
At this time, when she heard his rejection, she realized that she felt very uncomfortable.
Looking at him blankly, her eyes suddenly became sore and she almost shed tears.
She had never experienced this kind of feeling in her whole life. She was really caught off guard. She quickly raised her face to prevent the tears from really falling.
Li Zhongwu was a little surprised by her reaction.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't reject you, why are you so sad?"
Fang Xingtong looked over in surprise.
The expression was astonished.
"You didn't reject me? Didn't you reject me just now?"
Li Zhongwu smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "You misunderstood. I just said that it is not convenient for me to date you publicly recently, and it is not convenient for me to marry you. I did not say that I will not marry you in the future."
Seeing the tears in her eyes just now, he suddenly felt that he might have made a wrong judgment before, and she seemed to really like him.
"Why is it inconvenient recently?"
Fang Xingtong was puzzled.
Li Zhongwu blinked and made up a reason for her, "I am participating in the "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition recently. How can I have time?"
Fang Xingtong was speechless for a while, then said: "What I originally meant was that after you finish participating in this competition, we can get married again!"
Li Zhongwu frowned slightly.
He was not sure if the third prince's revenge would come, or when it would come. To be on the safe side, he had two choices at the moment.
First, when he married Fang Xingtong, he chose to keep the marriage secret and not disclose it to the public. He also took care not to let people discover that they were living together.
The second is... before getting married, go to Tianque City and take the head of the third prince!
Reason told him that Fang Xingtong had an extraordinary status and was the daughter of the deputy city lord. Even if she agreed not to disclose her marriage to the public and keep it secret, her parents and family would not agree.
Therefore, it seemed that there were two choices before him, but in fact there was only one.
——That is, before getting married, go to Tianque City and pick off the head of the third prince.
Only a dead person will not take revenge on him.
Unless it's haunted!
When it comes to killing, of course he is very familiar with it. During the more than three years in the world of reincarnation, countless people have died at his hands.
He didn't think it was impossible to go to Tianque City to kill a prince.
What he was a little hesitant about was that the consequences of killing the prince might be serious and might affect his stable life.
but……
Looking at Fang Xingtong's expectant eyes at this time, and thinking of how she almost shed tears just now, he smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay! It's such a happy decision. After I finish participating in this competition, we will
marry."
Fang Xingtong had a look of surprise on her face, and her eyes instantly brightened, "Really?"
Li Zhongwu nodded.
Fang Xingtong couldn't help but ask: "Where's Yu Fengying? Do you want to marry her together?"
Li Zhongwu laughed and shook his head. He and Yu Fengying had no basis for any relationship. Besides, he was a person who was afraid of trouble and for the time being only wanted to have one woman.
Having too many women will inevitably take up a lot of his time and energy, and time and energy are life, and he doesn't want to waste his life like this.
Fang Xingtong's face was filled with a smile of surprise. She wanted to control it, but she couldn't control the corners of her mouth rising, nor could she control the look of surprise in her eyes.
The etiquette she had been taught since childhood made her subconsciously cover her mouth with her hands, not wanting Li Zhongwu to see her possibly smiling indecently.
When Li Zhongwu saw the surprise in her eyes, he felt touched and felt good.
He originally thought that his marriage could be without love, that love was dispensable, and even thought that two people who were united because of love would be separated in the future because of the disappearance of love.
But at this moment, when he looked at Fang Xingtong's surprised eyes and her heartfelt joy, he suddenly felt that maybe... a marriage with a bit of love wouldn't be bad either.
"Pour the bar! I've been here for a long time, and you haven't poured a glass of wine yet!"
Li Zhongwu ordered with a smile.
His traditional concepts are still affecting him. As his woman, you have to take care of his daily life, including pouring wine and serving rice for him during meals.
He felt that it was only natural for him to let his woman serve him.
Otherwise, why would you want a wife?
Are you afraid that you won’t be able to spend your money alone?
Or do you think the bed at home is too wide and you want to find someone to share it with?
As for continuing the family line?
Which woman can’t be married to achieve the goal of continuing the family line?
Therefore, since you are choosing a woman to marry home among the vast sea of people, of course you must marry someone who can take care of your own life.
If he is not capable, he may make do with the matter of marrying a wife and lower his standards for choosing a mate.
But since he has good martial arts skills, why should he lower his standards?
When Fang Xingtong heard his instructions, she felt like she was waking up from a dream. She nodded in response and immediately stood up to pour him wine, with a joyful smile still on her face.
Li Zhongwu looked at her service with a smile.
I was also very happy.
Not long after he came to this era, he decided to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible to continue his family's bloodline and comfort his parents' spirits in heaven.
He believed that it must be the most regretful thing for his parents before they died.
Now, although his parents are long gone, as a son of man, he has no other way to repay them.
"Come! Let's have a drink!"
Li Zhongwu raised his glass and signaled. Fang Xingtong, who had just filled a glass of wine for himself, raised his glass happily without saying a word, "Cheers!"
The two wine glasses clinked together, looked at each other, smiled, and drank down one after another.
Putting down the wine glass, Fang Xingtong served him some food first.
Li Zhongwu smiled and gave her a piece.
At this time, he did not know that the third prince was currently considered an ally of the seventh princess. In name, the seventh princess was even helping the third prince.
However, given his character, even if he knew this, he would still go to Tianque City to take the third prince's head.
He never had any idea of loyalty to anyone. When he was reincarnated in the world, he had only one principle in doing anything - to survive.
Under this principle, whoever makes him feel threatened is his enemy. Whoever might kill him, he will kill him in advance, no matter who it is!
Maybe...if the Seventh Princess stopped him, maybe he would also take the Seventh Princess's head.
…
After a few glasses of wine, Li Zhongwu suddenly put down his chopsticks and handed his empty right hand to Fang Xingtong in front of him.
"Give you a gift!"
he said with a smile.
Fang Xingtong was a little surprised and a little confused, because she just saw him put down his chopsticks, but she didn't see him reaching out to take anything from his body.
"What gift? Are your hands empty?"
She frowned slightly, wondering what he meant by this?
Li Zhongwu chuckled lightly, and with a thought, something in his pocket appeared in the palm of his clenched fist.
Then, under her gaze, he slowly opened his palms.
An exquisite jewelry box lay quietly in his palm.
Fang Xingtong was shocked when she saw it.
She clearly didn't see him take anything from his body just now. Where did this jewelry box come from?
"How did you do that? I didn't even see you take out anything just now."
She frowned, puzzled.
Li Zhongwu just smiled and raised his eyebrows at her, "Open it and take a look! See if you like it."
With some doubts and some expectations, Fang Xingtong picked up the box from his palm, pulled away the ribbon on the jewelry box, opened the lid, and saw a diamond ring quietly inserted into a piece of black sponge in the box.
Li Zhongwu still has some similar jewelry in his personal space.
They were all "picked up" by him in the world of reincarnation.
Some were "picked up" from the enemy's house, and some were picked up by him casually.
"ring?"
Fang Xingtong was a little surprised. In this era, there is still the custom of proposing with a ring.
But very few people propose with diamond rings.
Because the diamond mining technology of this era has long been lost.
The only diamonds on the market are handed down from ancient times.
"How is it? Do you like it?"
he asks.
Fang Xingtong nodded quickly, "Of course! As long as you give it to me, I like it!"
With that said, she took out the ring and put it on the ring finger of her left hand.
Seeing her taking the ring to wear on her own, Li Zhongwu was a little surprised and thought: Isn't it popular in this era to let men help wear the ring?
Fang Xingtong lowered her head and looked at the ring she had just put on her finger. She turned her palm over and over to look at it, as if she couldn't get enough of it.
Even though the ring was a little loose on her finger and didn't fit very well, she didn't care.
…
It took almost two hours to eat one meal.
Among them, for more than an hour, Fang Xingtong took the initiative to sit next to Li Zhongwu, helped him pour wine, pick up food, and occasionally glanced at the ring on her hand.
The whole person smelled of joy.
For them, today is the day when they decide to make a lifelong decision, which is of special significance.
Maybe it's because she's sitting too close, maybe it's because the fragrance on her body smells so good, maybe it's because she looks better and better the more she looks at her, maybe it's because Li Zhongwu has been holding it in for too long.
While she was sitting next to him affectionately, serving him wine and food again and again, Li Zhongwu put down his chopsticks, reached out to hook her neck, and stamped a seal on her mouth.
At that time, she was stunned by the kiss and just looked at him with her eyes open. It wasn't until Li Zhongwu kissed her for a minute without letting go of her that she blushed and closed her eyes, and quietly hooked her arms around his neck.
Li Zhongwu had no burden or shame when kissing his own woman.
Besides, this was the first time in his 29 years that he had kissed a woman, so of course he had to kiss her enough.
When they left the box, their mouths were a little swollen.
Facts have proved that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, your lips are still fragile.
Before leaving the box, Li Zhongwu said to her: "You should pack up in the next two days and return to Tianfu City as soon as possible!"
"why?"
Fang Xingtong, who just lost her first kiss today, doesn't want to go home so soon.
She wants to go back with him.
Li Zhongwu touched her face. At that time, she sat on his lap and was held in his arms.
"You go back and prepare for our wedding first! I heard that there are a lot of things that need to be prepared for a wedding. It needs to be prepared several months in advance, or even half a year."
Fang Xingtong knew this was true.
But she still didn't want to go back so soon.
"It's okay. I have a large family, so there will be many people helping to prepare. I want to watch all your games, and then we can go back together."
But Li Zhongwu was afraid that she would be in danger if she continued to stay in Binhai.
Revenge from the third prince might come at any time, and he didn't want to put her in danger.
Before they had a confirmed relationship, he didn't want his own danger to involve her. Now that they have a private life, he certainly doesn't want her to be in danger.
"Be good! Be obedient! Don't you hope that the things we use for our wedding will be chosen by you yourself? Anyway, I hope that the things we use for our wedding will be chosen by you yourself."
Fang Xingtong looked at him helplessly.
He looked at her.
Finally, she sighed and said helplessly: "Okay! Since you said so, I will go back tomorrow, but you have to call me every night!"
When she is in love, she seems to be no different from an ordinary little girl.
In order to make her obedient and go home, Li Zhongwu nodded and agreed.
…
However, not long after they left the seafood restaurant and were still on their way back to the inn, Fang Xingtong, who was sitting in the car, suddenly received a call from the Seventh Princess Konoe Lan Ying.
Not long after, they met under a lighthouse on the beach.
Lan Ying was wearing plain clothes today and looked like an ordinary office worker. She came to Fang Xingtong. After she bowed her head in greeting, she asked: "Miss Xingtong, are you sure you can convince Li Zhongwu to be loyal to His Highness?"
