Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 40 Admiration is unrequited love, love is mutual gratification
The No. [-] restaurant in Jiangcheng.

The table is full of dishes, but Huo Xizhou seldom puts vegetables in his own bowl. Every time a plate of steaming hot dishes is served, he first picks up a chopstick and puts them in Gu Wan's bowl. There is almost no room in the bowl.

"Fourth Young Master!" Gu Wan had no choice but to puff her cheeks full of food and said, "I can't eat so much, you can eat it yourself."

Huo Xizhou paused for a while, and finally put the dish into his own bowl: "I just drank a bowl of soup when I watched you come up, I think I was very hungry, let's see how fast you eat the food , um...you are pretty good at eating."

Isn't this turning the corner and saying that she is a foodie?

She just tried to cover it up by eating hard because she didn't know how to be alone with him, okay?

"I'm actually... not very good at eating," Gu Wan joked in order to relieve this embarrassment, "I can't eat much food, so you don't have to worry about not being able to support me, haha."

Huo Xizhou froze for a moment, then smiled charmingly: "I can still afford to raise you, even if you give me ten or eight children in the future, I can also afford to raise them."

Gu Wan's face turned red, she hasn't married him yet, why did he think about the child?
But soon, she thought of the child who died tragically in the previous life, and suddenly lowered her head, hiding the monstrous grief and anger.

Huo Xizhou is an extremely sensitive person, and he immediately noticed Gu Wan's emotional changes.

He subconsciously said, "Gu Wan, you have a secret."

Gu Wan's body trembled slightly, she was silent for a while, and she answered calmly: "Everyone has a little secret. Don't you think Si Shao has one?"

Being repelled by the army, Huo Xizhou said: "I prefer to hear you call me Xizhou or Darling."

"Darling?" Gu Wan thought about it carefully: "Does it mean... a cute person?"

Huo Xizhou's eyes lit up: "Do you know foreign languages?"

"I don't understand." Gu Wan shook her head: "I just like reading books, I read all kinds of books, and occasionally I can come across a few Western-style books."

"It turns out that my family is sensitive and eager to learn." Huo Xizhou smiled again, bright and warm: "If you want to learn in the future, I can teach you. Today, I will tell you first that darling means a cute person, but the main meaning is It's—my dear. It's a title used between close lovers."

"Intimate lover?" Gu Wan's face was a little hot: "I can understand that you said that because you...do you also like me a little bit?"

What does intimate love mean?Even if she lived a new life, she didn't figure it out.

She used to be so kind to Meng Shuheng, but later she was betrayed and used and turned into hatred. She tried every means to escape from Huo Xizhou, but she did all the intimate things with him. She used to feel her emotions It is separated from the body, so whether it is physical intimacy or emotional intimacy, it has become true intimate love for the same person?

But she heard people say that love is the joy of two feelings.

Hearing Gu Wan's question, Huo Xizhou simply put down his chopsticks and stared at Gu Wan with burning eyes: "Do you hope I like you too?"

When she said "yes", it meant that she liked him, which made him very happy.

"Hope." Gu Wan said without hesitation.

Of course she hopes that Huo Xizhou likes her. In this way, she will go more smoothly and have a better life if she is with Huo Xizhou for the rest of her life. Did not give up the desire for love.

So, she explained: "Admiration is unrequited love, and love is mutual gratification. Although I am over nineteen years old, I am an old girl, and I am no more passionate about chasing love between men and women than those sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls. I still look forward to it—I hope that what I like, you will also like me."

"So, do you think you really like me?" Huo Xizhou said, "Or...is it just a little girl's blind worship? Or is it because you saw Meng Shuheng and Gu Yuting with your own eyes that night? Rolling together, I was disappointed with Meng Shuheng's feelings in my heart, and then I remembered that there is someone you admire like Ben Shao, so you hold on to this admiration, mistakenly thinking that this is what you like?"

These words sounded a little tentative, but Huo Xizhou's tone was extremely serious, without the slightest intention of getting angry.

Gu Wan wanted to deny it, so he hesitated for a while before asking cautiously, "If I didn't really like you, would you still marry me?"

"Yes!" Huo Xizhou looked at Gu Wan without blinking: "I really like you."

"And, even if you don't really like me, I will make you really like me sooner or later... No, fall in love with me!"

"Gu Wan, you are the woman I like in Huo Xizhou. From the moment you provoke me, you are mine. Whoever dares to rob me, I will kill him!"

His tone was cold and firm, letting Gu Wan know that every word he said was not a lie.

Gu Wan's heart sank. She didn't know what Huo Xizhou meant, but she knew that this question must be answered carefully.Otherwise, her relationship with Horsey State may develop in a bad direction.

"I don't like Meng Shuheng, not at all!" She said first: "Besides, it is impossible to have the slightest affection for him in this life." She and Meng Shuheng are endless enemies!

"I like you, it's not fake." Maybe there is still a distance from love, but Huo Xizhou is really her only warm sustenance and dependence in the two lives.

Afraid that he also wants to get close to him, guarding against him and admiring him, and being in debt to him also caring about him.

"As for the admiration and admiration you mentioned, there may be some. After all, I also... have no experience in this area."

"If you want to know my secret, I'm sorry, I can't tell you now, maybe one day, I will tell you..." If, she can really exchange this debt with a heart of debt and repayment for him With a sincere heart, the two hearts treat each other honestly, and he will not treat her, a reborn person, as a monster, and she will be able to tell him what happened in the previous life.

"I believe you are telling the truth." Huo Xizhou said, "I like your honesty."

"Whether it's admiration, admiration, or liking, it's all good for me. I said these words to you today, just to make sure whether you are really willing to marry me. Originally, I decided that if you are not willing I mean, I will let you go, but after sitting here, I changed my mind, you can only be mine! So, I still want to ask you, marry me, do you have any requirements?"

"Huh?" Gu Wan was a little confused.

Huo Xizhou explained: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the ceremony of betrothal marriage are the general rules of marriage. What I want to ask is, do you have any requirements for me? You are qualified to make requirements for me."
