Chapter 81b: Surprisingly Confessing His Deep Love to Her
Luo Cheng doesn’t mind?
Don’t mention minding, it’s more likely he’s wishing that tonight, Nalan Ye seriously don’t leave and quickly turn raw rice into cooked rice. (consummate their relationship) This marriage would then become as set as iron plates nailed together.
But Luo Qing Luan wasn’t interested in Nalan Ye in the least. Were it not for the fact that she couldn’t defeat him, how would she tolerate his annoying pestering?
Feeling the weight on top of her body as well as their faces which almost touched each other, even though Nalan Ye was indeed very good-looking and apparently treat her very differently from the ma.s.ses, not liking him meant that she just didn’t like him. Luo Qing Luan became colder as she said, “Nalan Ye, this is the last time I’ll say this, are you leaving or not?”
“Qing Luan, do you truly loathe me this much?”
Suddenly, Nalan Ye spoke as his expression turned serious and a mild endearment seemed to appear in the pupils of his eyes . He propped himself up with his arm and gazed into her two eyes. Only after he looked at her seriously for a moment did he ask, “I’m saying this to you very seriously. It’s been so many years. You’re the only woman who I’ve set my heart on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to His Majesty’s marriage bestowment. Moreover, I wouldn’t have kept involving myself with you.”
Hearing these words which seemed to be a confession, Luo Qing Luan was stunned in place.
He didn’t go crazy, right? Did he know what he was saying?
“In the entire country of Western Chu, how many men can compare with This Prince? Don’t tell me that you’re not moved in the slightest bit? When I first saw you, I was indeed somewhat mistaken, but after I understood you more and more, I started to fall for you.” Nalan Ye’s dark eyes were deep and profound, as if looking at a bottomless expanse of water. They possessed an endless attractive force. “Therefore, I stole into the General’s Mansion to look for you, that’s why I was angry and wanted to marry you because of what Nangong Qing said, that’s why I helped you investigate your mother’s matter, and why I would send people to guard by your side and protect you, allowing me to be able to come save you in time tonight……”
He then moved a bit closer to her, the warm air he breathed out overflowed her face as he asked her gloomily and charmingly, “What else do I have to do in order for you to be perfectly happy to marry me, to fall in love with me?”
Love him? Love Nalan Ye?
Luo Qing Luan had never thought about this issue before. For a moment, she actually didn’t know how she should reply.
She had never seen Nalan Ye be so serious before, as if that cold and detached man in front of people in the past, who was outwardly kind but inwardly evil, who was occasionally deliberately making things difficult for her, who occasionally nagged her, who recently was even mischievous and ingratiating, that Nalan Ye who hara.s.sed her had disappeared. And the current Nalan Ye was in fact a man who was deeply devoted to her. He’d done so much, all for her sake, only hoping that she would love him, to be willing to become his Princess of Chu.
“You……you really like me?” After a long while, Luo Qing Luan finally spit out some words in disbelief, feeling like she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“I really like you, otherwise, I wouldn’t marry you.” Nalan Ye answered, the light in his eyes deep and profound.
“You……you……can you not speak like this, I, I’m not used to it at all.” Luo Qing Luan suddenly stuttered. She didn’t expect that Nalan Ye actually took things seriously.
Coming another step closer again, the two of them were nearly as close as they could be. As long as Nalan Ye lowered his head, he could instantly kiss her face. Such a distance already raised Luo Qing Luan’s alert level. She suddenly felt uneasy and did her best to draw back.
But behind her was the headboard. She simply had nowhere to retreat to. Moreover, as soon as she moved, her shoulder was bared. Once Nalan Ye lowered his gaze. It fell on her fair, small and exquisite shoulder. His expression immediately changed.
That was a kind of dark and gloomy vague expression, fixedly staring at Luo Qing Luan’s body, as if a variety of feelings pa.s.sed through his eyes, as if a war was going on in his heart. He thirsted for her and wanted to move closer to feel her, but he restrained himself and didn’t move. But his increasingly heavy breathing started to make Luo Qing Luan nervous. She was afraid that Nalan Ye would do something, yet had no way of resisting.
“Qing Luan, do you really not like me?” His voice was even somewhat hoa.r.s.e. Indeed, Nalan Ye was doing his most to exercise control, but was in a situation where he was having trouble doing so. Listening to him, Luo Qing Luan’s heart trembled, not knowing how to reply.
The man before her eyes was so outstandingly handsome, his imposing manner out of the ordinary. He wasn’t someone who other men could be compared to at all. Even someone like Nangong Qing, when compared to him, was also inferior by a large amount. These were personality traits which Nalan Ye had cultivated ever since a long time ago. Once he held nothing back, his aura completely engulfed. In addition, with such a deeply emotional speech, even though it’s Luo Qing Luan, she still hesitated.
She understood her own heart. She really wasn’t in love with Nalan Ye, but with such an outstanding man confessing to her, and even under such ambiguous circ.u.mstances……
She didn’t know whether it was because she was nervous, but Luo Qing Luan suddenly felt her heart beating faster and faster as she watched Nalan Ye approaching closer and closer to her. That distinctly cold and raw manly smell nearly engulfed her entire body. Just when his deep gaze appeared as if he’s going to kiss her, Luo Qing Luan’s brains exploded. In a flurry, she reached out to block his lips. “Wait wait!”
“Help me up first, is that alright? I, I want to wear, wear clothes……”
Even she herself didn’t know why she would stutter and say these things for no rhyme or reason. Luo Qing Luan turned her head around and no longer dared to look into Nalan Ye’s eyes.
His voice sounded by her ear, “It’s already so late, what clothes are there to wear still……”
A warm hand caressed her shoulder. The stimulation caused her to tremble from head to toe. Her entire body quickly shrunk down, completely hiding under the quilt. “I’d like to wear some clothes, wear clothes……” She really was panicking. Luo Qing Luan’s heart was beating like a drum. Even her head didn’t dare to stick out.
Mischievousness flashing through his eyes, Nalan Ye finally let her off as he got up and said, “Alright then. I’ll first turn around and not look at you. Quickly get dressed. I’ll count to fifty. If you’re still not dressed by then, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”
“One, two, three……”
