Chapter 709: 281 Chu Dieyi Side Story (6)_1 Chapter 709: 281 Chu Dieyi Side Story (6)_1 Shao Mingyi’s confession, straightforward and unadorned, did not bring joy to Chu Dieyi but instead caused a strong irritation to surge in her heart, “You are a promising Second Lieutenant, while I am an Official Slave fallen into dust. The difference between us is like heaven and earth. Have you ever thought about the idle talks and gossip from others? Especially how your political adversaries might use this against you, to obstruct your career?”

“I don’t care!” Shao Mingyi said resolutely.

Chu Dieyi let out a cold laugh, “The reason you don’t care is that you only want to take me as a concubine, not to marry me as your wife, right?”

“Who told you I want to take you as a concubine?” Shao Mingyi’s expression changed slightly, and then he spoke with conviction, “I want to marry you with all the proper matrimonial procedures. As for the gossip and the criticism, I, Shao Mingyi, have always been upright and honorably engaged in the world, rising through military achievements, and I have never feared anything! Of course, I will protect you fully and never let anyone harm you even the slightest! Because, you are my wife!”

‘You are my wife!’
Such simple and honest words sent a tremor through Chu Dieyi’s heart, her eyes filling with complex emotions and a whirlwind of thoughts.

In her past life, she had desperately longed for He Yuhan to say these words, yet she had never heard them before her death. Today, in this unfamiliar time and space, she had unexpectedly heard the confession she had longed for, which filled her with shock and emotion.

At this moment, her agreement was nearly blurted out, but Chu Dieyi swallowed the words back with rational restraint, “I’m unable to do needlework or any female crafts, and I’ve given up music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. My nature is stubborn and obstinate; I handle affairs rigidly and am not suitable for a family or a household—in short, not an appropriate match for a Second Lieutenant.”
