Chapter 216 Through the Years, Growing Old Together 19
Lin Yanzhi became more and more determined as he spoke, and walked up to Ziyue, standing in front of her and looking into her eyes.
"Ziyue, I love you. You are the home of my soul. I want to be with you forever, to be bound together like mandarin ducks. I want to spend every day and night with you, to see all the beautiful scenery in this world with you, to grow old with you. Will you give me a chance? Will you accept my feelings?"
Ziyue looked at the man before her, who had just reached the age of twenty. His usually lively and smiling face was now tightly pursed, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions: anticipation, hope, trepidation, and unease...
Ziyue stepped forward, looking earnestly into his eyes: "Alright, I can give you a chance, but I hate deception and betrayal the most. If you…"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Yanzhi's delighted voice, "No, no, no, Lin Yanzhi will never deceive Qing Ziyue, and will never betray Qing Ziyue. If that day ever comes, Ziyue, you won't need to lift a finger; I will give you my life myself. But that day will never come."
His voice was strong and resonant, like the most steadfast faith, making one believe that he could definitely do it.
For Lin Yanzhi, his father and mother had an excellent relationship, and they only had each other. Although his mother passed away early, he grew up listening to his father and mother's stories and was always influenced by his father. He only wanted to meet a soulmate and be with her for life.
Lin Yanzhi's initial anxiety instantly subsided. In truth, he was uneasy, knowing that both Mu Yang and the Crown Prince were interested in Ziyue, but one was hindered by his status and the other by his family background, so neither could pursue Ziyue openly.
They were all just as good as him, and he didn't have much confidence, but he never expected that Ziyue would accept him and give him a chance.
Compared to the two of them, he was undoubtedly the lucky one, wasn't he?
Ziyue saw that Lin Yanzhi's smile was impossible to hide, and the two dimples on his cheeks became even deeper and sweeter. He was still babbling incoherently, "Thank you, Ziyue, thank you. I will be good to you for the rest of my life, I definitely will. Please believe me."
Ziyue nodded, "I believe you."
She believed what he said at that moment.
However, since ancient times, promises made by men and women when their relationship is at its most passionate are undoubtedly sincere at that moment, but they will change as time goes by.
People change, and feelings naturally change too.
She never believed what others said; she only looked at what people did.
It's just sweet talk; anyone can say that.
Although she was quite confident in her judgment of men, she couldn't guarantee that she would always find a man who would never be swayed by outside influences, who would love only her for life, who would have her in his heart and eyes, and who would always put her first.
However, she has the cost of trial and error; if one doesn't work, she can simply move on to the next.
Fortunately, Lin Yanzhi was unaware of what his beloved was thinking at that moment; otherwise, he would definitely have cried in front of her, absolutely!
-
The scene of the two standing in front of the sea of flowers, embracing each other tightly, was so beautiful. But Yao Mingzhao, standing under a big tree in the distance, was holding his hands tightly, and a few drops of bright red blood fell from his clenched fists.
He closed his eyes tightly; the scene was too glaring. However, a bitter and helpless look flashed across Yao Mingzhao's eyes. A moment later, he quietly left the place.
After Yao Mingzhao left, Lin Yanzhi glanced at the tree as if by chance before looking away and staring intently at the girl in his arms.
very nice……
Does Ziyue not know that Yaoming Zhao just appeared?
Of course she knows.
But so what.
So many people like her and love her, does she have to respond to all of their feelings?
The towering palace walls could not confine her, nor could imperial power attract her; Yaoming's status and position destined him to have many things beyond his control.
Unless he holds absolute power and has the courage to stand against the entire court, if he does, if he dares to take that step, then she will naturally dare to follow him all the way, to fight against the worldly rules, and to challenge the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues.
But he hasn't done anything yet, hasn't shown anything yet, has he?
Feelings can't wait.
Aren't the current crop of cute young men appealing?
Seeing someone clinging to her because they felt they had gained her approval, their dimples never fading, well, cute little puppies are quite appealing too.
-
Since the two had just confirmed their relationship, and it was a sweet and romantic time, they sat by the flower field for a while longer.
Then they went to several other places that Lin Yanzhi had discovered had decent scenery, to enjoy the beautiful views.
The newlywed couple spent the whole day out, only returning on horseback at sunset.
Mu Yang passed by this camp countless times, watching the two of them walk away sweetly. His fingers gripped the sword at his waist, and he stood there for a long time before turning to leave.
Mu Yang was not actually born taciturn. He came from the Grand Commandant's mansion and was born to a concubine. His wife's family was powerful, but she only had two daughters and four sons born out of wedlock, and he was the eldest.
Although the mistress never mistreated them, she would only sit on her high platform and observe coldly. In addition, there were several other households living in the Grand Commandant's mansion, making the people complicated and various shady and dirty things happened. He had seen a lot of this since he was a child, and gradually he became this taciturn person and developed the habit of watching everything around him indifferently.
He admired Ziyue, longed for her, and had feelings for her, but it wasn't to the point that he couldn't live without her. Love wasn't his whole life; he wanted to be good to her, so he would be good to her, nothing more.
Moreover, his family is a complex one. Although these things are not a problem for Ziyue, he cannot and will not allow such a free, unrestrained and bright girl to be confined to the backyard of the house. She should not be involved in those sordid things. She should always be like this, always free and unrestrained.
This kind of life was something he couldn't give her. In fact, they all knew clearly that he couldn't, the Crown Prince couldn't, only Yanzhi could.
Unfortunately, family background is fixed and can never be freely chosen by them.
All he can control now is his own future and that of his birth mother.
If she finds the person she wants to spend her life with, he will send her his blessings and wish her a happy and fulfilling life.
In every respect, Yanzhi is undoubtedly the most suitable person for her.
