Chapter 1121 Go Against the World for Her

Visitors from the Marquis Xing’s Mansion left. Only then did Chu Liuchen return to Shao Wanru’s Celestial Cloud Lodge.

He waved the others away. With arms around her supple wasp waist, he drawled lazily, “If any woman like them comes here again, just kick her out!”

His meaning was self-evident, and Shao Wanru flashed a smile, asking, “You saw her?”

“Sure I did. How could I not see a person bump into me? I’m not blind.” Chu Liuchen said lazily. He sat down on the large chair with Shao Wanru in his arms, his eyes on her colorless face. “If you don’t want to see them, shut out them.”

Chu Liuchen had witnessed how Shao Wanru returned to the Marquis Xing’s Mansion step by step and how hard a life she lived there. He knew she would never like anyone from this mansion.

Since she disliked these people, she could ignore them!

Shao Wanru reached out and gently touched his big hand, pulling it before her. Then, her lustrous eyes opened wide, and her face creased into a light and sweet smile. “Qu Le and others thought she looked a bit like me!”

“Really?” Chu Liuchen pretended to think about it seriously and said with a smile, “Does she look like you? No, not at all! Zhuozhuo, you’re unique in my eyes. How could anyone look like you?”

Shao Wanru, with a faint feeling of sweetness rising in her heart, couldn’t hide her happy smile.

“What’s up with you? Are you jealous?” Chu Liuchen asked, raising her eyebrows, thinking the woman was not devoid of any merit. “If women like that frequently run into me, could I better appreciate her care and love toward me?

“Well, it’s feasible, isn’t it?”

With a wicked, enigmatic grin, Chu Liuchen lifted his dark eyebrows in amusement.

“Is it interesting to you?” Shao Wanru asked, curling up the corner of her mouth. It looked like a smile on her pink and tender face, but Chu Liuchen also thought she appeared a little annoyed.

“No!” Anyway, he couldn’t let her know he relished her jealousy, so he decidedly shook his head and denied it.

“Then, why are you so happy?” Shao Wanru asked, curling her light red and tender lips. They looked well-matched with their fair and delicate looks. Besides, Shao Wanru’s cherry lips showed a rosy tint, which looked pretty delicate and charming.

Chu Liuchen couldn’t refrain from gazing at her lips as appealing as rose petals, then her fair-skinned face. At this time, her luminous eyes dilated a little. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, disturbing his heart. He felt his heart positively itched with a burning desire, and Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed in his throat. Chu Liuchen was never strictly upright and correct. Before him was his beloved woman, and they married.

He lowered his head, his lips gently landing on her sweet lips. Merely because of a light touch, he felt an upsurge of emotion.

He couldn’t help tightening his grip and nearly fixed her firmly into his body.

No longer satisfied with the swift kiss on her tender lips, he parted her cherry lips, going further into her mouth…

“Ah!” The low cry of pain awakened the two people indulging in kissing. Chu Liuchen stiffened and immediately loosened his tight grip on Shao Wanru. “What’s wrong? Did you get hurt?”

Shao Wanru gasped breathlessly. Feeling the fresh air entering her mouth, she blushed up to the roots of her hair. A smooth strand of her black hair fell, accentuating her striking and tender appearance. Chu Liuchen saw himself in her eyes as limpid and soft as water. This innocent and charming woman was devilishly attractive.

Seeing her short of breath, Chu Liuchen felt he loved her to the very marrow of his bones.

“I… I’m fine. You knocked against me accidentally.” Shao Wanru gasped for breath. Finally, she was beginning to breathe more easily. However, she still leaned against Chu Liuchen’s chest, too shy to lift her head. Just now, she lost herself in the kiss and moved her injured arm involuntarily.

True enough, she let herself go and raised her arms affectionately, but she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t admit it. Then, she blamed Chu Liuchen for colliding with her arm in a flirtish manner.

Looking at her bashful face, Chu Liuchen laughed aloud. He put down his hand and gently hugged her, trying to suppress his desire.

Gradually, the intense look in his eyes faded, and his eyes became deep and thoughtful. He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched her head, saying, “I just visited my Imperial Grandmother. She wanted to send several consorts into my mansion just like before, saying I was in good health and didn’t need to stay only with you!”

Shao Wanru froze at the news. Immediately, the wave of tenderness on her face vanished, and she tried to push Chu Liuchen away so that she could see his reaction. However, he still kept his arm around her slender waist. Then, she heard his delighted laughter as he whispered in her ear. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in any of those women. Imperial Grandmother knows I won’t be satisfied with other women!”

Shao Wanru breathed a sigh of relief but couldn’t help asking, “Then… then what about the matters in the imperial court?”

Marrying a few more women would be the best way for Chu Liuchen to get a meteoric rise. He could get vital links to high-ranking officials through these women, just like adding wings to a tiger.

In the past, Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou fell for Shao Yanru because of her exceedingly beautiful appearance and the Marquis Xing’s Mansion.

Though Shao Wanru mentioned this topic on her own initiative, her heart inexplicably tightened. She grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, rubbing it hard. Her head was still leaning against Chu Liuchen, so she could hear his strong heartbeats falling on her heart one after another. She felt limp and numb and a little flustered.

Involuntarily, Shao Wanru bit her lips for some unspeakable reasons. At this moment, she concentrated all her attention on Chu Liuchen, listening carefully to the answer he might give.

There came Chu Liuchen’s light chuckles, but Shao Wanru could tell he was pleased. “Is he very happy?” Somehow, such an idea flashed through her mind.

“The affairs of the imperial court have nothing to do with you. If I can’t even protect my beloved woman, how can I handle the business in the imperial court? Only weak ones have to gain power by marriage. Even if I obtain the crowning glory, Zhuozhuo, you will be the only one in my imperial harem!” Chu Liuchen’s soothing voice was low, but every word sounded loud and clear in Shao Wanru’s heart.

His words rang in her heart, like hot tea soaking into the ground covered with ice. When the ice on the surface was broken, her heart became as tender as water.

No matter how thick the ice surface was, it was tender water under the cracked ice. Shao Wanru closed her eyes tightly. After suppressing the excitement in her heart, she slowly reached out her hand and decisively hugged Chu Liuchen. She could eventually set her disturbed mind at rest. After all, she had always been unconfident!

She was very grateful for his love, but she always felt insecure!

In her previous life, she had been repeatedly hurt because of her marriage. Her engagements had been broken off again and again. At last, she was at the end of her rope, but those people didn’t let her off either.

As her engagements were canceled, she lost her dignity and confidence.

When she was a young lady from a respectable family in Jiangzhou, she was still a little naughty. But in the end, she became so timid and overcautious that she hardly dared to speak — those people ground her down to this miserable state.

Though she was reborn, deep down in her heart, she always had a sense of inferiority and never dared to make demands. She feared if she asked for anything, she would lose more than gain and end up with nothing.

“Thank you!” Tears started from her eyes. After going through her previous tragic life, she became open-minded and generous in this life. Because of Chu Liuchen, she broke through the emotional entanglements in her heart slowly and firmly, baring her soul to him.

Sensing her mood swings, Chu Liuchen reached out and gently touched her face. To his astonishment, he felt her salty and wet tears. Instantly, he pulled her out of his arms and gloomily examined her. “What’s wrong? Did anyone mention something improper to you?”

“No!” Shao Wanru smiled and shook her head. She looked strikingly beautiful with crystal tears on her face.

In silence, Chu Liuchen stared fixedly at her. Then, he kissed away all her tears and gathered her into his arms. “Don’t worry. It won’t happen!”

Chu Liuchen had never considered marrying any other woman. So what if he had a great many beauties in the inner court? There had always been only one person in his heart. She kindled his hope of life and his desire to live. To better protect her, he was willing to take the throne.

The world without her would be meaningless!

If she were murdered, he would start wholesale slaughter in exchange for a faint hope of waiting when she was on the path to reincarnation.

Shao Wanru didn’t see the domineering and bloodthirsty expression on Chu Liuchen’s handsome face. He had never been kind-hearted, and he didn’t intend to be as kind and harmless as he looked.

He was more than heartless and cold-blooded. People like him were courageous enough to go against the whole world for one person. Even though numerous people would die and the ground would be littered with their corpses, so what? He didn’t care!

“I know, I… I’m just happy…” Shao Wanru no longer hid her emotions. Though a warm flush came to her cheeks, she spoke her mind decisively.

Luckily, she was leaning against Chu Liuchen’s chest tightly; otherwise, she would be too ashamed to say such words.

As Chu Liuchen’s low laugh echoed in her ear, she could feel his chest shake. Then, her face lit up with a radiant and enchanting smile, which made her delicate facial features vivid and beautiful.

“The Xu State’s princess will soon enter the capital city. Princess Yutao is the messenger responsible for sending Princess Yuyan here. Princess Yuyan is going to marry Chu Qing. It has nothing to do with our mansion. Next, Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou will get married. If Imperial Grandmother takes these chances to say something, you don’t have to worry about it, and just let me handle these troublesome things!”

...

Chu Liuchen taught her how to respond to the Empress Dowager’s request. He knew his Imperial Grandmother well. Since she had mentioned it, she would talk about it to Shao Wanru. Therefore, he had to remind Shao Wanru beforehand to prevent her from promising anything inappropriate.

Anyway, he could always do what he wished without restraint. He had never fallen in love with anyone else, nor would he like others in the future. It was useless for Imperial Grandmother to talk to him.

“I see!” Shao Wanru said, feeling at peace. After she thought for a while, her long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes. “Nanny Wei is Wei Dahai’s aunt. Wei Dahai covets my Butterfly Clothing Shop. He was Madame Dong’s former husband but abandoned her and their daughter. Then he started another marriage. And he has a niece, who is Commandery Prince Qing’s fiancee. She had been living in the Yuhui Nunnery for five whole years!”

“Wei Dahai?” Chu Liuchen thought it over and assured Shao Wanru, “I’ve noticed him. Don’t worry!”

Shao Wanru breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was terribly complicated. She was worried that Chu Liuchen would overlook Wei Dahai. His official position was not high, but she inexplicably felt that he was related to the overall situation.
