Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1014 Northern Frontier 11

Jing Lei certainly wouldn't be so angry as to want to kill Zi Su, but all Jing Lei needed to do was give her a cold look that would be enough to scare Zi Su to death.

Thunder's temper is not as good as Cloud's.

He is a hands-on type.

I don't like talking, I just like doing things.

Now things are half done. The house has been bought, the servants have been hired, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. They are just waiting for Zisu to finish preparing the house so they can get married and start living together.

In fact, everyone knew that they were getting married soon.

At this moment, Zisu said, "I'm not getting married?"

“I don’t know him that well, and you should know the answer to this question better than I do.”

Chu Yueli, always eager for a good show, even suggested, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Zisu almost rolled her eyes at her.

She waited in the room for a long time that night.

Jing Lei went to inspect the army with Chu Xiaohe today, but he said he would come back tonight to discuss the renovation of the courtyard with her.

She waited until almost midnight, when finally there was a slight movement outside the door.

It was obvious that Jing Lei knew he was back too late and was afraid of disturbing her.

If she was already resting, he would not disturb her and would come to find her again the next morning.

But the light is still on in her room tonight.

Unsure if she was already asleep, Jing Lei lingered outside the door for a few steps until Zi Su opened it.

"Not in bed yet?" Although I could hear her footsteps as she came to open the door, I was still a little surprised to see her dressed so neatly.

"Didn't we agree to wait for you?" Zisu opened the door.

Jing Lei went inside and casually closed the door: "But I might not be able to come back in time. What if I don't get back until dawn? Are you going to wait for me?"

"Of course we won't wait." It's not an urgent matter; it's just about discussing the renovation of the yard. We can talk about it tomorrow.

"It just so happens that I couldn't sleep either, so I kept waiting."

"Why can't you sleep?" Jing Lei entered the room, sat down at the table, picked up the tea that Zi Su had poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked at Zisu.

Although her attire was fairly neat, it was rather revealing for the night.

Jing Lei composed himself, shifted his gaze from her, and asked, "Something on your mind? Did Liu Yun come to cause you trouble?"

“Why would he come looking for trouble with me? He’s not that kind of person,” Zisu said hurriedly.

Jing Lei glanced at him: "You seem to know him quite well."

"Then don't misunderstand, I know him better than... I know you better." Zisu sat down opposite him and poured him another cup of tea.

It must have been a bit chilly at night; when I opened the door just now, a cool breeze came in, making the room feel a little cold.

She subconsciously tugged at her clothes.

Upon seeing this, Jing Lei took off his robe and wrapped it around her.

It was all his warmth, so comforting, that made me feel much safer than that unpredictable guy, Liu Yun.

Zisu looked at Jinglei: "Do you mind? My relationship with him... is fine."

"Haven't you always been good to me? Even better than you were to me."

"Thunder..."

"If I minded, I wouldn't have agreed to marry you."

"Agree?" Zisu blinked. Her words made it sound as if she had begged for this marriage herself.

But thinking about it, it seems like I really did bring it up myself?

She had forgotten how the topic started that night; in any case, by the time she realized it, they had already agreed to get married.

"Isn't it?"

Jing Lei's thin lips curved slightly, and he said with a light smile, "I was just asking casually who you would choose to marry, and you came up to me and said you wanted to choose me. You are a young lady, and since a young lady has taken the initiative to speak, I can't just refuse."
