Dong Fang Residence, Hong Ling Courtyard.
In the cold winter night, plum flowers in the courtyard were already in full bloom covering the whole garden and the air was biting cold.
Dong Fang Hai Yao looked around this garden which was considered her own courtyard. At the age of 16 years old, she had officially returned to stay in this Hong Ling Courtyard. Later when she was decreed to be Jade Face Hunter, she had to travel from North to South frequently. Throughout the year, she could only return a few times. Now she is about to marry, her chances of coming back to stay will even be less.
"What are you thinking?" A low deep voice sounded beside her ear.
A pair of iron arms hugged her whole body from behind. A big cloak was wrapped around her icy cold delicate body.
"Nothing. How was your discussion with my three elder brothers?"
This time they returned mainly to discuss the wedding date of the two people and also to clarify the concern at the bottom of his heart. He had asked her Eldest Brother about the matter that happened 20 years ago. Unexpectedly her Eldest Brother's answer confirmed Long Hao Tian's words. The two of them really had a marriage agreement.
Twenty years ago, when she was still in her mother's womb and when their mothers had verbally agreed to this marriage agreement, it just happened that her Eldest Brother, ten years of age, was standing next to his mother and heard the details clearly.
"Next month, the eighth day is an auspicious day. Our wedding date is set on that day. How long have you been sitting out here? Why is your body so cold?"
His thick eyebrows wrinkled. During this period, he has been taking good care of her body but she always did not take this seriously.
Now she chooses to stand outside in the cold wind. If she is to catch a cold, see how he will deal with her.
Hai Yao turned around in his embrace to face him. She put her arms around his waist, snuggled her beautiful face in his neck and whispered.
"I will only stand here for a while. Stay with me, then we will go into the house."
"Alright, just for a while."
In his dark eyes was a look of pampering. He lowered his head to drop a kiss on her forehead and the big black cloak was wrapped tightly around her.
"There is still a month before our wedding. I want to stay here in Dong Fang Residence and spend more time with my elder brothers. You can return to Jing Wang Mansion first."
The four brothers and sister had always stayed apart and were seldom together. It was fortunate that their feelings for each other were still strong. Before she marries, she only wants to stay in Dong Fang Residence and spend a bit more time with them.
"Are you still driving me away?"
Long Hao Tian's face sank slightly. He is used to having her soft body accompany him at night and now he is to sleep alone, how is he going to sleep? He is afraid he will not be able to sleep at all.
"Then are you thinking to stay here also?" She raised her head and smiled, deliberately teasing him.
"Why not? Since you want to stay then I will stay here with you until the day before the wedding. Then I will return to Jing Wang Mansion."
Anyway, he just did not want to leave her. It was difficult for him to slowly nurse her back to health and due to her careless nature, in case she gets sick again, the person to feel distressed would only be him.
Hai Yao only smiled and did not say anything. The two people were silent and the silence was better at that moment, faintly surrounding them with tenderness arousing a yearning in her heart.
"Hao Tian, I love you."
It was difficult to imagine she would be so dependent on one person. During those days when she was injured, his meticulous care for her had touched her. Although he already knew what was in her heart, she still owed him a clear confession.
The iron arms that encircled her body tightened and his handsome face rubbed against hers. Although she had earlier known about her feelings, she had not told him and he had been waiting for her to tell him about her true feelings for him before he could truly rest assured.
"If......finally, I am still unable to fall in love with you, you will not let me go, is that right?"
"Yes. For you, I can never let go." He admitted.
"I'm very happy. In the end, I fell in love with you as you have wished. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be the greatest nightmare in my life."
To get rid of such a difficult man, she is afraid she will lose her freedom forever in this lifetime.
"I'm glad you understand. I love you, Dong Fang Hai Yao."
He lowered his head to kiss her lips and her softness tightly entangled with him.
In this life......he, Long Hao Tian will hold on to her, Dong Fang Hai Yao..... and until death he will still not let go and she......she is his willing partner.
The white petals gently floated down with the wind and landed on the two people.
The night has become denser.
