They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 382 Just confess, it's been exposed long ago anyway.
His expression was so open and honest, as if he knew everything, and his deep eyes looked at Xu Zhichun with clear understanding.

Xu Zhichun suddenly felt as if he had gained some insight!
The original owner wasn't familiar with the villagers, so even if someone said that Xu had changed, they wouldn't think too deeply about it. They would only think that she had changed because she had suffered a huge blow due to family changes.

As they spent more and more time together, everyone's memory of what Xu Shi was like became blurred, and they stopped thinking about it when they had nothing to do. Naturally, she completely replaced Xu Shi.

She is Xu Zhichun.

But Liang Minglang is different.

How could he not sense her difference when they lived under the same roof and spent the night in the same room?

This cannot be explained simply by amnesia.

Of course, if Liang Minglang is not a trustworthy person, and Xu Zhichun insists that he has amnesia, there is nothing he can do.

After spending time together, Xu Zhichun was willing to trust him this once.

"You...you knew all along?"

Liang Minglang nodded slightly.

"When?"

Liang Minglang said with difficulty, "I felt something was wrong the day I got back. Later, I asked Mingxuan and I was sure."

Xu Zhichun: "."

"So early?"

So she thought she had gotten away with it, but actually Liang Minglang hadn't bothered with her at all?

That was awkward.
Liang Minglang: "You are you, and the Xu family is the Xu family. Although it is unbelievable, the world is full of wonders, and perhaps there is a divine will in the dark."

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "You're right, perhaps it really is fate."

Liang Minglang: "So, are you willing to tell me now?"

Xu Zhichun glanced at him and nodded slightly.

Since she's already revealed everything to him like a sieve, what's there to hide?
However, Xu Zhichun still didn't fully explain his origins. Everything he had told his wife about the modern world was too bizarre to explain, and she couldn't possibly finish it all. So, he simply fabricated this part, saying that he was a lonely soul who came from a small overseas country. Although the country was small, its people were wealthy, its resources were abundant, and its various skills and technologies were far superior to those of the Great Ming Dynasty.

This is why she was able to thrive and achieve success frequently.

Liang Minglang had no doubts; in his view, it made perfect sense.

No wonder she knows so much.

He knew that the south was connected to the vast sea, with no end in sight. It was practically impossible to find the small country where Xu Zhichun originally lived by setting off from the coast of Da Ming. Besides, she had already passed away in that small country, leaving only her lonely soul.

He suddenly felt very lucky; by sheer coincidence, her lonely soul had come to his side.

Liang Minglang gently held Xu Zhichun's hand, "Now that you're here, don't leave, okay?"

Xu Zhichun's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly looked up, and her beautiful figure was perfectly reflected in his eyes. Xu Zhichun panicked, "I...you—"

“You are Zhichun, not Xu Shi who is pretending to be my husband. We are not pretending to be husband and wife.”

"Th-what is that?"

"Marry me, let's be together."

"."

Although she shared the same feelings, this was the first time Xu Zhichun, who had lived two lives, had been confessed to in person. And to confess was bad enough, but to go straight to the top with "Marry me" left Xu Zhichun feeling her fragile heart teetering on the brink of collapse.

Something overflowed from the bottom of my heart, sweet and comforting.

Her face turned bright red.

When her hand was gently squeezed, Xu Zhichun realized that he had been holding her hand the whole time. She subconsciously tried to pull away, but of course, she couldn't.

Liang Minglang exerted a little force, "Did I scare you? You can think about it slowly before answering me, or you can take your time to accept it. I just feel that I should tell you my thoughts." Especially seeing Ji Yingxuan in so much pain, and thinking of the Xu family who were no longer alive, Liang Minglang felt even more emotional.

It's best to say what you want to say as soon as possible.

Otherwise, who knows if there will ever be another chance to say it?
“No need to think about it anymore,” Xu Zhichun said, her head bowed, her face still flushed, a sweet feeling spreading through her heart. “I… I’m willing.”

Liang Minglang's eyes lit up, and he pulled her into his arms. His smile was even brighter than the sun. He looked at her, his eyes filled with joy. "Zhichun, I heard you, and I remember you. You can't go back on your word once you've promised."

Xu Zhichun couldn't help but smile slightly, and chuckled softly, "Mm."

She relaxed and leaned against him. Through the thin fabric of her clothes, she could feel his heartbeat right next to her ear. His warm breath enveloped her little by little through the fabric, and with each breath, the temperature rose, making her heart throb with waves of passion, a mesmerizing sight.

Liang Minglang hugged her tightly, overjoyed. His strong arms were around her waist, gently caressing her, sticky and sweet, as if he could never get enough of touching her.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

I've wanted to do this for a long time, and now that it's come true, it feels amazing and addictive.

Xu Zhichun was startled and broke free from him. "No, someone will see."

It wouldn't be good if others saw it.

Liang Minglang chuckled: "Okay, we won't let anyone see."

Xu Zhichun scolded him: Is that what she meant?

Liang Minglang thought to himself that he couldn't push her too hard all at once. Girls are easily embarrassed. He shouldn't rush things and should take it slow. He would let her calm down and hug and kiss her again tonight.

He then took Xu Zhichun's hand and said with a smile, "We should go back for lunch."

To be honest, we had planned to go into town for lunch, but due to that unexpected incident, we naturally couldn't have lunch.

I'm actually a little hungry right now.

Xu Zhichun smiled and agreed, and the two of them went back to the main courtyard together.

Liang Minglang naturally took her hand.

Xu Zhichun glanced at him but didn't pull her hand away. Their eyes met, and he smiled, his gaze both strikingly bright and tenderly captivating.

She was still a little dazed; she was no longer truly alone.

As they approached the main courtyard, Xu Zhichun broke free from Liang Minglang's grasp, and Liang Minglang wisely refrained from persisting.

It's unethical to provoke people like that.

As soon as the two looked up, they saw Ji Yingxuan walking over with a somber look in his eyes and a rather unpleasant expression.

His unfriendly gaze and expression were of course only directed at Liang Minglang; when he looked at Xu Zhichun, his gaze was as gentle as a spring breeze brushing against the willow branches in March.

"Zhichun, where have you gone? I can't find you anywhere."

Liang Minglang clicked his tongue and said bluntly, "Young Master Ji, I advise you to show some manners."

Ji Yingxuan snorted coldly.

Liang Minglang: "How will others perceive Zhichun if you act like this?"

Ji Yingxuan froze, glaring at Liang Minglang with a mixture of anger and frustration.

Liang Minglang: "It's not difficult to call her Madam Xu, is it?"

Ji Yingxuan ground his teeth.

Liang Minglang: "Also, stop looking at Zhichun like that, and be more careful with your words when there are outsiders around."

As for when there are no outsiders around, would he allow him to stay with Zhichun when there are no outsiders around?

of course not.
