Chapter 2152: Chapter 1253: I’ll Marry You 1
Faced with her starry eyes, the man’s face flushed slightly red.
What was going on? He had encountered countless women before, and when they showed him infatuated glances, he only felt disgusted.
But with this woman in front of him, it was different.
The man felt a bit awkward being stared at, cleared his throat, and said unnaturally, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Weibao smacked her lips, "Looking at you, you’re really good-looking."
The man’s face turned even redder, "You... vulgar."
Xia Weibao was puzzled, why was she being scolded again?
What was wrong with being honest, and then still getting scolded?
She stood up, brushed off the mud on her hands, "Let’s go inside, your wound isn’t healed yet, it’s not good to have it exposed to the wind."
As she spoke, she walked past him, moving ahead.
Watching her back, the man hesitated several times as if about to speak but then stopped.
According to etiquette, he was supposed to marry her.
However, marrying a stranger was really not his desire, and the words of responsibility just couldn’t come out.
The man shook his head, forget it, without affection, marrying her into the palace would just leave her like the concubines in the harem, lonely for life, why ruin such a bright woman.
She didn’t seem to understand the customs of the Great Xia Kingdom, as she didn’t ask him to take responsibility.
If that’s the case, why bring it up?
Returning to the house, Xia Weibao brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for the man, and also for herself.
Then she sat to the side, caught up in her daze again.
The man felt a bit speechless, "Miss, why do you keep looking at me?"
"You’re good-looking, even more than the small white rabbit I raised."
The man, "..."
He finally understood why he found it disgusting when other women looked at him, but not this woman.
Because her gaze was so pure, purely admiring his looks, just as if she were looking at a pretty rabbit...
It didn’t contain any emotions or interests.
But the women out there, their glances at him were filled with flattery and sycophancy.
"I haven’t thanked the miss for saving my life yet."
"No need to be polite. If you want to thank me, just sit there every day and let me look at you a few times."
Such a visual pleasure, very pleasing to the eye.
Previously, those patients were all unpleasant to look at, a bit of a turn-off, this one is way too good-looking.
Couldn’t help but want to look a few more times.
The man felt that he couldn’t continue this conversation anymore today...
Could you have a bit more of a girl’s restraint and not always covet my beauty?
"May I ask the lady’s name?"
"My name is Xia Weibao, Xia as in Xia Weibao, Wei as in Xia Weibao, Bao as in Xia Weibao, how about you, what’s your name."
The man, "..."
Looking at her smiling face, the man pondered for a moment, "Lu Hualiang."
"Lu Hualiang? That name doesn’t sound as nice as mine."
Lu Hualiang just smiled it off, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
The lid of the cup concealed his eyelids, masking the depth in his eyes.
The surname Lu was something he made up on the fly, but Hualiang was the courtesy name of the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, why did she not react at all.
Is she too naive, or too scheming?
Either way, it’s best to be cautious while outside.
"Miss Xia, do you live here alone?"
"Yes, I’ve been used to living independently, so I always live by myself."
"Where are your family?"
Xia Weibao shrugged, "I don’t know; I was raised by my mentor. My mentor taught me medicine and martial arts, and later I ventured out into Jianghu by myself."
"Why did you save me?"
Xia Weibao felt a bit guilty; of course, she wouldn’t say that he fell from the sky, and she had kicked him away, which would be too awkward.
So, she made up a lie, "I was coming back from gathering herbs and saw you collapsed by the roadside, so I saved you on the spur of the moment."
Just like that?
Lu Hualiang was obviously a bit skeptical; deep in the mountains, one would normally avoid such a heavily injured, unconscious person, who would reach out to help?
