Chapter 181 Heart to Heart Again
On that day, Princess Du ordered her maid to clean up Mancuixuan next to Su Cheng'an, and she personally went to the warehouse to select some utensils and decorations, making the three rooms of Mancuixuan look brand new.
After a simple lunch, Su Cheng'an and Jin Chu were allowed to wash up and rest.
After running around for a few days, Jin Chu was indeed tired. After washing up, she fell on the high bed with soft pillows carefully arranged by Princess Du, smelling the fragrance in the room, and slowly fell into a deep dream.
The setting sun shone through the latticed windows, casting a yellow glow not far away. From outside, the maid and Su Cheng'an could be heard whispering.
The whole yard was filled with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, which made Jin Chu, who woke up slowly, feel as if he was in an unreal dream.
She lay lazily on the bed, emptying her mind and quietly feeling this rare peaceful time.
After a while, the sound of flowing water was heard, followed by the slight collision of cups and plates with the table. The image of Su Chengan sipping tea appeared in Jin Chu's mind.
The next moment, Su Chengan's deep voice rang out again: "You guys go down first. I'll wait for Ah Jin here."
The maids murmured in agreement and went out.
The room returned to silence again. After a few breaths, the sound of the teacup being put back on the table was heard again.
Su Cheng'an walked in with slow steps. He originally wanted to see how Jin Chu was sleeping, but unexpectedly he met a pair of smiling almond eyes.
"Ajin, are you awake?" Su Cheng'an was delighted at first, then embarrassed. He raised the back of his hand to cover his chin, "I came to see if you kicked the quilt?"
Jin Chu just looked at him quietly with a smile.
Looking at Jin Chu's understanding and tolerant gaze, Su Cheng'an couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, I don't even believe this lame excuse myself." The young man looked at the cute and confused girl with warm eyes and laid his cards on the table. "I just wanted to see if Jin was sleeping well."
Jin Chu hooked her finger at him, motioning him to come over.
Su Cheng'an smiled and took two steps forward.
Jin Chu hooked his hand again, Su Cheng'an hesitated for a moment and looked at Jin Chu uncertainly. If he moved forward again, he would be stuck to the edge of the bed.
Jin Chu nodded and continued to reach out.
When Su Cheng'an walked to the bed, Jin Chu turned around and put her arms around Su Cheng'an's waist.
"Su Cheng'an, hug me!" The girl's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, and her murmurs were nasal because she had just woken up.
In the last rays of the setting sun, the girl's forehead hair also glowed with a faint golden light, and her whole body looked like a soft and innocent little animal.
Su Cheng'an's heart instantly softened into a pool of water. He just wanted to wrap up the girl in front of him, press her into his arms, and carry her with him.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his hands spontaneously hugged his beloved girl.
His chin brushed against Jin's messy black hair, which was still messy after sleeping. Su Cheng'an sighed happily, "Ah Jin, now I finally understand why there's a saying that 'steel tempered a hundred times can be turned into soft silk'!"
The girl leaning against the man hummed softly, as if responding but also asking a question.
"Ajin, my father and mother don't know everything about you and me. For example, I haven't had the chance to tell them that you don't want to get married this year. If my mother asks about your marriage, just say that I will make the arrangements and I will handle them."
"Su Cheng'an, after arriving in Youyun City, I realized your difficulties are beyond my imagination. You and your brother are the only two in the palace. You are the only legitimate son, and you are already of marriageable age. Getting married and having children is a major event in life, let alone for someone like you, the Prince of Dingbei, who shoulders a heavy responsibility!"
Su Cheng'an's low laugh came out from his chest, and his words made Jin Chu's heart beat faster.
"With Ah Jin's words today, even if I have to wait another ten years, I will gladly accept it." Su Cheng'an reached out and stroked the girl's hair, his face filled with the joy of finally seeing the moon after waiting for so long. "My Ah Jin, you now feel sorry for me! I am so happy."
"Don't worry. If you don't want to get married now, let's get married later. I'll take care of Father and Mother. You don't have to worry, don't be afraid, and don't put yourself in a difficult position. When I'm around, just be happy. No matter when or where, as long as I'm here, I'll be your biggest support."
These words were so sincere and powerful that they instantly made Jin Chu's laziness disappear.
While she was moved, she also began to reflect that compared to Su Cheng'an's attitude of being considerate in everything and considering her in everything, she had indeed been naive and too selfish before.
She had always admired Su Cheng'an's character, and after spending some time together, Jin Chu's heart had unknowingly fallen in love with Su Cheng'an.
Unless something unexpected happens, she will never abandon this man in this life.
As a modern person, she still adheres to the idea of not being in love until she reaches adulthood in her previous life. But this is a different world after all, a world where girls can get married when they turn 15.
When in Rome, one should follow the local customs. According to her age, it is a good time for her to get married.
If she continued to respond to the princess with the excuse that she was young and did not want to get married so early, the princess would probably be furious, thinking that she was keeping Su Chengan hanging with ill intentions and was playing tricks on them, the Dingbei Palace.
Su Cheng'an was well aware of this, but in order to respect her choice and decision, and to prevent her from having conflicts with the princess and affecting the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he resolutely took the idea of getting married later on himself.
Jin Chu thought about it silently and finally made a decision.
"Su Cheng'an, if everything goes well, let's get married next year! But after we get married, can we wait until I'm eighteen to have children?"
Su Cheng'an's face flashed with joy, but then he calmed down again. He looked at Jin Chu and said solemnly, "Your ability to come to the Northern Territory with me is the greatest response to me. As for marriage, I still say the same thing. You don't have to be wronged. Although I am a few years older than you, I can still wait for two years."
"Okay, then let's talk about marriage after everything is stable! But," Jin Chu smiled humorously, "you will have to endure some grievances with the princess."
"As long as Ajin is happy, what does it matter if I suffer some grievances? Besides, she is my mother, and she won't be willing to make things difficult for me." Su Cheng'an smiled confidently.
As they were talking, a maid's low voice came from the door. It turned out that the prince had returned. The princess specially arranged a dinner for the whole family, which was also a welcome dinner for Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an.
After the two of them had agreed on this matter, they felt much more relaxed. They walked towards the princess's Hanzhang Courtyard in the last rays of sunset.
