Chapter 1655: Full of Question Marks

ting them!That group of people actually dared to treat Huāduǒ like that right in front of him!Finally, Hua Duo'er in order not to let him see her own appearance, she even took the initiative to cling...Standing by the bed and watching her for a moment, Ye Er then turned to walk to the table, picked up the already prepared Ruyi scale from the table, and slowly walked back to the bed.

Xiaoqin lowered her eyes and looked at Ye Er's shoes, so nervous that she pursed her lips.

Ye Er at this moment looked at her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles white with tension. His eyes darkened, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qiner, would you allow me to lift the veil myself"

Xiaoqin was instantly confused. He was the groom today, and she was the bride. If the groom wouldn't lift her veil, who else would

At this moment, Xiaoqin was completely dumbfounded by his words. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she didn't know how to answer. Her heart was beating fast, wondering if he wasn't willing to lift the veil for her

Or did he truly marry her because of his mother-in-law's unreasonable demands, forcing him into the marriage Now, he wouldn't even lift the bridal veil.

At the thought of this possibility, Xiao Qin's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she felt deeply wronged.

Actually, at the beginning, she had given Ye Er a choice. As long as he said he didn't want to marry her, she would never force him. She wouldn't have forced herself to marry into the Ye family.

Even if it meant defying her own mother, even if she would forever be at odds with her, if Ye Er was unwilling, she couldn't possibly take the title of mistress of the Ye household.

But now that both families have paid their respects, what does he mean saying this suddenly

After a long silence, Xiaoqin finally came to her senses. Ye Er realized that his words had caused a misunderstanding, so he quickly added, "What I mean is, if I lift your veil, it means that for the rest of your life, Qin'er, you will only be my wife, the mistress of the Ye family. No matter what happens to you in the future, I will never let you leave."

Speaking of which, Ye Er's eyes flickered with some hesitation. However, the matter had already come to this point. He bit his lip and finally spoke: "If you agree today to have your red veil lifted, then you will be my wife for life. Even if Jiang Qingyang returns, even if you still harbor fantasies about him, I will never let go."

"If you agree today to let me lift your red veil myself, then for the rest of our lives we will be bound together, sharing life and death, and even in the afterlife we will share the same grave."

"But if you were to lift this veil yourself today, I would grant you freedom for life. You could go wherever you wished, leave whenever you pleased, and I would never stop you."

His words made Xiaoqin freeze in her tracks, the rapid beating of her heart accelerating inexplicably.

Whenever someone mentioned Jiang Qingyang to her in the past, she still felt a pang of sadness.

Recalling those years when she had loved Jiang Qingyang, she couldn't easily say that she had let go.

But at this moment, Ye Er brought it up in front of her. She didn't even react, and there wasn't a single ripple in her heart.

Now all she can think about is Lord Ye and the desire to spend her life with him.

It turned out that he wasn't regretting marrying her. What he had said just now was simply to give her a choice.

Realizing this, she only felt a surge of anxiety, not caring at all about his previous mention of Jiang Qingyang.

After Ye Er finished speaking, she didn't rush. She just waited quietly for her reply.

He hoped her answer came after careful consideration, as this response would shape the dynamic of their future interactions.

If she were to lift the red veil herself, he would respect her choice and find an opportunity to let her go afterward.

No one knew how long the two remained silent. The longer it went on, the more uneasy Ye Er felt.

Just as his heart was gradually sinking, a voice, incredibly low, sounded, “Husband... Husband, what are you still waiting for If you don't lift the veil soon, the auspicious time will be gone.”

"At that moment, Ye Er couldn't find the words to describe her excitement. It was as if every hair on her body vibrated with joy."

"Are you truly not regretful"

"Never regret."

Ye Er has never felt this happy in her entire life.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally received her accurate answer. Only then did he raise the Ruyi Scale in his hand and slowly lift the red veil, revealing the scene beneath it little by little.

The woman before him had phoenix brows like the moon, a proud aquiline nose, and skin as smooth and white as frost. This sight made Ye Er unable to look away.

Xia Qin had been keeping her head down, but she couldn't withstand the intensity of his gaze. She finally raised her eyes slowly and saw him standing there in a magnificent crimson outfit. His facial features were exquisitely sharp and handsome, with an air of nobility about him.

The two just stared into each other's eyes.

Perhaps embarrassed to be looked at, Xiaoqin lowered her head, blushing, "Husband, good... it seems like the next step is to drink a toast."

Her voice was so low that Ye Er came back to his senses. Perhaps he hadn't expected her to say that suddenly, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Yes, it is indeed time for the toast."

After saying that, he turned and put the ruyi scepter back on the table, then picked up two cups of wine and walked back to the bedside.

Xiao Qin moved her body, wanting him to sit on the bed.

But to his surprise, he suddenly knelt down to her level.

Xiaoqin’s breath caught in her throat. Before she could say anything, Ye Er pushed a cup of wine towards her. “If madam wants me to wake up sooner,” he said, “she might as well drink this cup first.”

Does he mean he won't get up unless we drink a toast together

In the end, Xiaoqin relented and took the cup. The two of them looked deeply into each other's eyes.

Under Ye Er's guidance, he finally raised his cup with both hands crossed and drank it all in one go.

As they clinked glasses, the two were so close their breaths mingled. Ye Er's scent drifted across Xiao Qin's ear and neck, causing her whole body to tremble slightly. A strange feeling flickered in her heart, one that she didn't find unpleasant.

Sensing her nervousness, Ye Er quickly withdrew and took the glass of wine from her hand. He got up and put it back on the table.

“Since there are no elders at home, I need to personally greet the guests. I'll have the kitchen bring you a meal in a bit. Please eat something yourself first so you don't go hungry.”

"Okay."

Ye Er instructed and was about to leave, but she noticed the phoenix crown on her head. She suddenly walked back to the bedside, without giving her a chance to speak, and gently removed the phoenix crown from her head.

Putting the phoenix crown aside, he finally spoke in a soft voice, “I might be back for a while. If you get tired, feel free to rest first.”

Xiaoqin blushed and said, "Mmm."

Ye Er especially liked to see her blushing, because her cheeks were flushed because of him. However, he was afraid that being too aggressive would scare her, so after taking off the phoenix crown, he turned and left the bridal chamber. on his mind Damn it! You dare lie to me, miss! Come here, drag this vile slave down and execute her!""Miss, Miss, please spare my life, Miss. I truly didn't know I would be deceived by that doctor. M...
