Chapter 265 Ji Heng Urges Marriage
Wearing only a thin nightgown, Lin Shu, who was pressing against Su Mu and demanding a kiss, felt a little embarrassed upon hearing the sound. Then, somewhat unsatisfied, she gently bit Su Mu's lip before gracefully and slowly getting up.
"Mommy, are you really Daddy?" An Si hugged her pillow, her little face serious and lips pursed, looking at Lin Shu with a questioning look in her eyes, her eyes completely innocent: "Can I kiss An Si?"
As she spoke, a rare blush appeared on An Si's face.
Lin Shu resumed her expressionless demeanor and solemnly denied, "Father bit his lip, it hurts, so Mother blew on it for him."
"Oh!" An Si lowered her head with considerable regret.
Lin Shu scooped the little one up and gently kissed her chubby little face.
The little one was overjoyed, but the happier she was, the more she pretended to be serious, forcibly suppressing the corners of her mouth; only her bright, shining eyes could convey her joy.
Su Mu raised his hand and gently touched An Si's head, saying softly, "Si'er, why aren't you asleep yet?"
An Si tucked the small pillow in her arms and replied righteously, "I was afraid Dad wouldn't be used to it, so I came to keep Dad company!"
While saying she was thinking of Su Mu, her big eyes were actually looking at Lin Shu expectantly. How could the two adults not see that this girl wanted to be with Lin Shu?
The two looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.
In the end, An Si got her wish and slept with her parents. Even in her sleep, the little one tightly clutched Lin Shu's clothes, showing how much she really liked Lin Shu...
The next day.
Not long after I finished breakfast, someone arrived at my door right on time.
This person was none other than Ji Heng.
Last night, Ji Wan had just returned to the mansion when Ji Heng wanted to come and see Lin Shu, but it was already late and it would be impolite for him to come over.
So, early this morning, he waited impatiently outside the Lin residence, and only arrived when it was almost time.
Lin Family Garden.
At this moment, a man and a woman dressed in blue were standing by the pond.
Ji Heng looked at his fiancée, whom he hadn't seen for nearly half a year, and felt no estrangement at all. On the contrary, they had become more familiar with each other because of their frequent correspondence.
"Miss Lin, may I hug you?" Without waiting for Lin Shu's reply, he reached out and walked around Lin Shu, pressing his body against hers.
This is probably the most impolite thing Ji Heng has ever done in his life. The two of them have had contact before, but never before have they been so close.
Lin Shu didn't push him away or say anything; she simply hugged him back quietly.
After a long while, Ji Heng finally stepped out of Lin Shu's embrace, looked at Lin Shu with his doe-like eyes as bright as the moon, and asked in a gentle and warm voice, "Miss Lin, when will you marry me?"
His question was direct and straightforward, not at all offensive, but no one knew how flustered Ji Heng was inside.
He had already learned of Xu Jingyun's existence from Ji Wan, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, this prince of Nanli would definitely marry Lin Shu.
Moreover, this young master is Xu Jingyun, who had been obsessed with Lin Shu before. The two had known each other for a long time and had spent so much time together in Nanli. How could he not be anxious!
Lin Shu also knew that if she hadn't been sent to Nanli, they would probably have gotten married a month ago. But now that the Grand Court Assembly was approaching and envoys from various countries would be arriving in the capital one after another, the wedding would probably have to be postponed...
So, after careful consideration, she looked apologetically into Ji Heng's beautiful light brown eyes and said:
"With the grand court assembly approaching, a wedding this year would be too hasty and might be unfair to you, therefore..."
"I don't mind." Hearing that Lin Shu intended to postpone the wedding until next year, Ji Heng quickly interrupted her, then looked up at Lin Shu, his eyes full of seriousness:
"I don't care about those things. As long as Heng marries that person, it doesn't matter if things are simple."
Lin Shu could detect the stubbornness and pleading in Ji Heng's gentle words. Helpless, she could only nod in agreement: "Alright. I will pay a visit to the Grand Tutor to discuss the wedding date."
"How about we set it for December 18th? We still have half a month to prepare! I'll ask the Protector of the Nation for that date..."
Ji Heng smiled, his smile clear and bright. Seeing Lin Shu looking at him with a teasing gaze, he became somewhat embarrassed and reverted to his usual gentle and refined self, changing his words:
"Heng means that Heng's grandmother had asked the nun at Huguo Temple to calculate the date, and it was an auspicious day."
"Hmm. Then thank you for your trouble, Grand Tutor!" Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, but didn't expose him. It was rare to see this seemingly perfect little fox showing such a tense expression.
"Then... I'll head back now." Ji Heng pursed her lips and smiled faintly. They weren't married yet, so they couldn't stay alone for too long.
Lin Shu nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll take you."
Perfect timing, let's go to the Grand Tutor's residence to discuss the marriage between the two of them...
……
Half a month later.
A street in Beijing was packed with people, all craning their necks to see what was happening. They were pushing and shoving, but everyone consciously made way for the main road in the middle.
A short while later, a commotion arose from the end of the road, causing the people on this side to become restless as well.
"Hey! Young man, may I ask you about someone?" A polite and sweet voice stood out among the vulgar crowd.
The middle-aged man, whom the other party addressed as "Brother Young Master," turned around and saw a cute young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, tilting his head and revealing two dimples on his face, looking at him with a beaming smile.
His originally gruff voice softened a bit: "Who does this young master want to inquire about? Putting aside everything else, there's no one in the capital that I, Hu Sanlang, don't know."
The adorable young master A-Zhu's eyes lit up, his dimples deepened, and he looked at the other person expectantly, saying sweetly:
"I'm looking for my older sister. Her name is Lin Shu, the 'Shu' in 'Shuangmu Lin' and 'Jingnu Qishu'. Do you know her, my lord?"
The man who called himself Hu Sanlang was taken aback upon hearing this, as he had never heard of Lord Lin having such a young brother. However, seeing the expectant look in the other man's eyes, Hu Sanlang pointed to the woman in wedding attire, seated gracefully on a tall horse, who was walking towards them, and said:
"Is the young master referring to Lady Lin Shu?"
Ah Zhu hurriedly turned his head to look and saw that it really was Lin Shu. He tried to squeeze in, but he was too small and couldn't get through. Just as he was considering whether to use force, he heard Hu Sanlang continue:
"Today is Lord Lin's wedding day. He is marrying Ji Heng, the most famous young master in our capital. I've heard that Young Master Ji is exceptionally talented and handsome, a perfect match for Lord Lin..."
Hu Sanlang said this on purpose. Based on his many years of experience with wives, he figured this young master probably liked Lord Lin! Tsk tsk! It seems the man is in love, but the woman is not!
A-Zhu stared blankly at Lin Shu, whose face was clearly beaming with joy, while the blessings from the surrounding crowd and the phrase "a match made in heaven" echoed in her ears...
But I felt completely lost...
