Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1603: Chapter 1600 Admiration

The refined young man looked at Lu Chuan’s face with curiosity, suddenly as if discovering something, exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Lu, are you blushing? Am I seeing things?”

“Could it be that Lu Chuan, you have someone you like?” The tall man spoke directly, casually remarked.

Lu Chuan seemed to have his thoughts exposed, a bit flustered, “No way, don’t talk nonsense.”

The refined young man exchanged a glance with the tall man, both feeling suspicious, but they didn’t continue to ask questions. After Lu Chuan left, they didn’t discuss the topic further, just casually chatted for a bit.

The guards were discussing it animatedly.

The secret guards felt even more complicated, especially because their identity conflicted with having a family.

Lu Chuan went straight to find Su Mei.

He waited outside the courtyard for quite a while before Su Mei came out.

Su Mei’s feet stomped on the snow, soaking the soles of her shoes. She looked at Lu Chuan and spoke first, “What do you want from me?”

Lu Chuan mustered up courage, but his voice was very small, not knowing if he was afraid of being overheard by outsiders or due to shyness, “I’ve thought it through, I really want to marry you.”

After saying this, his whole being was tense, nervously watching her, heart pounding.

Su Mei raised her head and looked directly at him, “The reason?”

“I admire you.” Lu Chuan’s cheeks flushed, recalling the words of the two guard brothers, he gathered courage and persistently stared at her.

Seeing his neck and ears completely red, Su Mei found it a bit amusing, half-jokingly asked, “If I don’t answer you, will your face turn completely red?”

With a boom, Lu Chuan’s face turned completely red, “I don’t usually blush, just… today I’m a bit nervous.”

His voice trembled as he spoke.

Su Mei smiled at him, “I don’t want to get married for now.”

The light in Lu Chuan’s eyes dimmed slightly, he forced a smile, “It’s okay, I can wait for you. Anyway, I don’t want to marry anyone else besides you now.”

“Aren’t you afraid that delaying will make you old?” Su Mei frowned, surprised at his persistence. She truly had no desire to get married, stemming from distrust in anyone giving her a good life. Rather than marrying, she wanted to peacefully stay by the lady’s side serving, and when she was old, leave the household with enough silver to support herself in retirement.

Lu Chuan shook his head, “I’m not afraid, I never planned to marry, it’s only because of you that I want to.”

Su Mei saw his serious expression, couldn’t doubt his sincerity, “Then think carefully, don’t let your life be unfulfilled because of me.”

“I won’t.” Perhaps after speaking his mind, Lu Chuan wasn’t nervous anymore, smiled, with a clean feeling on his refined face, “I was worried about after marriage if something happened to me, I’d let the other party down, but if you just don’t want to get married, instead of not wanting to marry me, I feel happy.”

It’s enough to see her from time to time.

Su Mei pursed her lips, “Think carefully, don’t act impulsively. Matters of the heart come quickly and go quickly. Today’s matter, I won’t speak of it outside, to avoid future awkwardness between us, if others know, it might cause trouble.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back, the lady has things to instruct me on.”

Quickly dismissing him, Su Mei restrained her complicated feelings, turned away without giving him any more chances.

Lu Chuan gave a bitter laugh, feeling a bit bitter inside, not knowing the feelings others had when faced with a rejection from someone they admired.
