Rebirth of the Great Favor

Chapter 113: Isn’t It Good to Marry Me? Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

After father Su came back from court, he took mother Su to the study, and his expression seemed a bit solemn.

Qiqi didn’t know what happened. She was vaguely worried so she went to the kitchen to make a bowl of snow pear soup. She wanted to send it to her father and mother later. Qiqi was staring at the fire and a servant came over to report, saying Shen Zhonghua was here and he brought a dog.

“A dog?” Qiqi’s eyes lit up. She wondered if it was Ah Lin or Ah Mo. Thinking about this, Qiqi rushed to the front yard excitedly. However, what she saw wasn’t the two majestic fine dogs, but a little black dog that was held in Shen Zhonghua’s hands. It was only bigger than his palm.

“This is Ah Lin and Ah Mo’s child.” Shen Zhonghua said to Qiqi: “Choose a name.”

The puppy was soft and the fur on its body felt more like cotton. The small round one had bigger eyes and was very cute. Qiqi took the puppy from Shen Zhonghua’s hands. She was like a child who dared not use too much force for fear of hurting it but the puppy seemed to like her very much. From time to time, it stretched out its hot little tongue to lick Qiqi’s hand and kept rubbing her arms.

“Is it male or female?” Qiqi asked.

“Male.” Shen Zhonghua said.

Qiqi thought about it and said seriously: “Why don’t we call it Sugar Ball?”

Shen Zhonghua raised his eyebrows: “Good name.”

Xiang Huan on the side couldn’t help but laugh. Shen Zhonghua glanced at her faintly. She immediately lowered her head. For Shen Zhonghua, no matter what name it was, as long as Qiqi chose it, it was a good name.

He hadn’t seen such a smile from her for a long time and saw Qiqi teasing the puppy with a happy look.

Shen Zhonghua said to Qiqi: “Ah Lin and Ah Mo are still in the prince’s palace. The puppy is cute. Since you like it, let Sugar Ball stay with you.”

“Stay with me?” Qiqi turned to look at him: “Wangye wants to leave Sugar Ball in the general’s residence?”

Shen Zhonghua nodded.

“Then it’s going to be separated from its parents. It’s still so small. It’s not as big as my two hands.” When Qiqi was a child, she was separated from her family. She naturally didn’t want Sugar Ball to be separated from its parents.

Shen Zhonghua said: “If Qiqi is afraid of Ah Lin and Ah Mo’s reluctance, why don’t you live with Sugar Ball in the palace?”

His tone was serious.

“...” Qiqi was a little speechless. What did that sentence mean? Ashamed and angry, she couldn’t help scolding in a low voice: “Rogue!”

She stuffed Sugar Ball into Shen Zhonghua’s hands and then turned around to leave.

“Woof woof!” Sugar Ball cried in a milky voice and struggled to get down from Shen Zhonghua’s hands. Shen Zhonghua was afraid of it falling down so he squatted down and put Sugar Ball on the ground. It ran desperately to Qiqi’s feet, opened its mouth, and bit her skirt.

“It seems like Sugar Ball likes you very much.” Shen Zhonghua looked at Qiqi and said with a smile: “Coincidentally, I also like you very much.”

Qiqi stomped her foot. She just wanted to call someone to send off the guest, but Shen Zhonghua’s status was noble. Who would dare to drive him away except the general and the young masters in the residence? Good. No one moves. Shen Zhonghua won’t leave then I’ll leave! Qiqi thought like this, but she couldn’t move forward. The puppy was quite strong and it had been pulling her skirt. Qiqi didn’t dare to use force. She was afraid of hurting Sugar Ball’s teeth.

“What in the world do you want?” Qiqi turned around helplessly with a look of embarrassment.

Shen Zhonghua stepped a few steps forward in front of Qiqi. They stared at each other as he said: “I want you.”

He didn’t avoid it and said dignifiedly.

Qiqi was speechlessly blocked by his words. What? In broad daylight, what kind of beast words did he say?!

Qiqi blushed. She was also a little ignorant and didn’t know how to attack. Then she heard Shen Zhonghua softly again. He knew Qiqi was thinking in a crook way: “I want you to be my wangfei and my wife.”

“Impossible.” Qiqi said without hesitation: “Don’t even think about it. I won’t marry you.”

Although it was a refusal, Shen Zhonghua was happy in his heart. He liked Qiqi, such a vivid and self. This was the real her.

Shen Zhonghua naturally knew her thoughts which was also the reason why he couldn’t wait to ask his imperial father to give him marriage. Shen Zhonghua said: “What if His Majesty gives the marriage?”

“How could His Majesty......” She suddenly stopped in the middle of her words. Could it be...... could it be that her father and mother went to the study to discuss things......

Her father and mother had intentionally mentioned it before. They asked her, between Bai Jue and Shen Zhonghua, who she liked.

Was it possible......

Qiqi asked Shen Zhonghua: “His Majesty really gave the marriage?”

Shen Zhonghua asked her: “Qiqi, isn’t it good to marry me?”

“No, I......” Qiqi shook her head. She knew she shouldn’t marry him nor could she marry him.

She managed to escape......

No, did she escape......?

No, he always appeared in her life frequently......

Shen Zhonghua asked her: “Qiqi, what are you afraid of?”

What was she afraid of? Qiqi smiled coldly. She didn’t answer his question directly, but said: “My parents hope I’ll marry someone I like.”

Shen Zhonghua approached her: “Don’t Qiqi like me?”

This was also a question Qiqi asked herself many times. She sighed. The answer that she often forced herself to remember, but why couldn’t she say anything?

“Qiqi, don’t be afraid of me, let alone marry me.” Shen Zhonghua held Qiqi’s shoulder and looked at her with determination and affection: “You marry me, you are my wife, and you’ll be my wife for the rest of my life. I’ll favor you, love you, protect you, and stay by your side for a lifetime.”

Qiqi was stunned.

How familiar were these words......

She smiled lightly and suddenly asked Shen Zhonghua: “You said that to Su Lianxue too, didn’t you?”
