Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 286 I Love You

His eyes were gentle as water, full of affection and promise: "When you become my wife, I will treat you with my sincerity a thousand times more, making every day of your life poetic and picturesque, without any grievances."

Xiao Zhixue's cheeks were lightly flushed. She nodded slightly, with a gleam of trust in her eyes: "Don't break your promise, or I won't forgive you easily."

After hearing this, Fan Yanmu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly swore a solemn oath, his voice firm: "I, Fan Yanmu, will only love Xiao Zhixue in this life, and will never have other hearts. If I break this promise, I am willing to bear the punishment of heaven and live a rough life!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhixue quickly covered his mouth, her eyes full of heartache, signaling him not to do so.

Just as the two were immersed in each other's gaze, there was an inopportune knock on the door, and the voice of Nanny Wang could be clearly heard outside the door: "Master, the Censor Mo Xingjun and General Gu's third son Gu Tingxuan are asking to see you with gifts."

Xiao Zhixue quickly adjusted her mood and replied softly, "I understand. Please ask them to wait in the front hall for a while."

As Nanny Wang left, Xiao Zhixue took Fan Yanmu's hand without any hesitation and walked towards the front hall together.

There, Mo Xingjun and Gu Tingxuan had already sat down, and the maids were busy serving them hot tea.

Their arrival undoubtedly made the atmosphere of the entire space become subtle.

Seeing Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu appearing hand in hand, Mo Xingjun felt mixed emotions. The feeling of loss was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart.

The fantasies of the past, those beautiful scenes of reunion, seem so distant and unrealistic at this moment.

Although Gu Tingxuan had a smile on his face, everyone could see that it was forced.

He stood up and congratulated them politely but distantly: "Congratulations to you two on your upcoming marriage. This is a little gift from me, please accept it."

As he spoke, he handed over an exquisitely decorated brocade box.

Xiao Zhixue took it and gently opened it, only to see a nine-turn glass lamp lying quietly inside, colorful and shining, each side reflecting the extraordinary craftsmanship and value.

Mo Xingjun's gift was even more special. It was a rare dragon and phoenix fruit, extremely precious, and symbolizing good luck and harmony.

Xiao Zhixue gladly accepted the two generous gifts and warmly invited the two to sit down and discuss in detail.

Mo Xingjun cleared his throat and tried to keep his tone calm: "When does Prince Fan plan to officially marry Miss Xiao?"

He still had the habit of calling her "Miss Xiao", as if that would help him keep something.

However, Xiao Zhixue didn't mind this, because she knew that everyone has their own persistence and reluctance in their hearts.

Fan Yanmu spoke frankly and mentioned his wedding plans three days later.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingxuan blurted out in surprise: "So fast?"

There are complex emotions in his words that are difficult to conceal.

Fan Yanmu's face darkened slightly, and he keenly caught the meaning of Gu Tingxuan's unfinished words: "Is there any problem?"

Gu Tingxuan immediately realized his slip of the tongue and quickly waved his hand to explain, trying to steer the topic in a light-hearted direction: "It's nothing, I just feel that time flies, it seems like the last time we met was just yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, you two are about to get married."

Behind his smile, there is a sadness that no one can understand.

If time could go back, if I had met Xiao Zhixue earlier, perhaps everything would be different.

Mo Xingjun chose to remain silent, his emotions were extremely complicated.

Ever since he parted with Xiao Zhixue, her figure had become his deepest thought in the dead of night.

However, he understood that he could not be by her side all the time like Fan Yanmu did and slowly nurture that indispensable emotion.

The moment of reunion made him realize more clearly that he and she might just be two parallel lines that would never intersect.

Although he felt helpless and unwilling, Mo Xingjun still chose to accept it.

In his opinion, as long as Xiao Zhixue stayed in the capital, they would meet again someday.

Even if we can't spend the rest of our lives together, being able to silently watch her from a distance is a kind of comfort.

Thinking of this, the heaviness in his heart seemed to be lightened a little.

Finally, after a short stay, the two quietly left Yuexian Garden, leaving behind only the faint sadness in the air and the unexpressed emotions.

Fan Yanmu also needed to carefully prepare for this much-anticipated wedding, and no detail could be ignored. As the decision was finalized, he temporarily left the complicated daily affairs and devoted himself to the preparations for this major event in his life.

Shadow One and Shadow Two, the two loyal shadow guards who always accompany their master, had a strange light flashing in their eyes after learning that Fan Yanmu would marry Xiao Zhixue in three days.

They acted quickly and headed to the most prosperous market in the capital, carefully selecting a batch of well-made and loud firecrackers, silently praying in their hearts that they would turn Xiao Zhixue's simple wish into reality - to let every corner of the capital echo with the message of her happiness.

As night fell, on the last night before their wedding, Ying Yi and Ying Er, along with the servants in their mansion, were like a group of night elves, traveling through every street in the capital, carefully arranging firecrackers that carried festive meanings. From the bustling alleys to the spacious main streets, every place was filled with the most sincere blessings for the newlyweds.

As the wedding date approached, the mansion inside and outside seemed to be surrounded by a festive aura. The servants walked hurriedly but with smiles on their faces. They were busy hanging up red lanterns and posting auspicious couplets. The whole mansion was decorated exceptionally charmingly, filled with an indescribable joy and peace.

Shadow One and Shadow Two were even busier. Not only did they fill the streets and alleys with firecrackers, they also laid a red festive carpet that stretched from the main street to the gate of the mansion, as if they were quietly waiting for the most solemn and sacred moment.

Finally, on the wedding day, Fan Yanmu wore a well-tailored, brightly colored red dress and a red flower on her chest that symbolized joy and love, looking particularly heroic.

Before the first ray of sunlight in the early morning had completely covered the earth, a gorgeously decorated red sedan stopped steadily outside the gate of Yuexianyuan where Xiao Zhixue lived, waiting for its owner.

In Yuexian Garden, Xiao Zhixue was surrounded by several attentive maids. They gently dressed her in an exquisite phoenix crown and bridal robe, and carefully applied light rouge on her fair cheeks.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiao Zhixue's heart was filled with indescribable excitement and emotion. How could she have dared to hope in her previous life that she could travel through time and space and find her own happy destination in this strange yet familiar era.

The Kingdom of Xiliang rewarded her adventure with a grand wedding, allowing her to experience a love legend that transcends time and space on this ancient land.
