On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Watching Liu Fuyao's tall figure leave.

Lu Chuan stood there, looking puzzled.

But in my mind, I couldn't help but recall what the other person had said at the Twin Saints' Ruins some time ago.

she……

Do you like me?

But why would he try to put other girls around him?

What is this ex-sister-in-law thinking?

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and pinched Lu Chuan hard on the soft flesh of his waist.

"hiss--"

Lu Chuan gasped in shock.

He immediately turned his head and glared angrily at the instigator.

Sun Miaoyin had already stopped and was now crossing her arms over her chest.

This unintentional movement further accentuated the size of those E-grade weapons, making them appear as if they might burst out of the shirt at any moment.

However, when faced with Lu Chuan's gaze...

Sun Miaoyin rolled her eyes, her face showing a look of utter disappointment.

"Brother Lu Chuan."

"I'm really impressed by you two."

"You mean one of you has unparalleled talent in martial arts cultivation and can defeat the strong with the weak?"

"One of them also has a talent for weapon crafting, and can apply what he has learned to other situations."

"How come you're such a fool when it comes to relationships?"

Are you genuinely dense or just pretending?

"Can't you tell that Fuyao likes you?"

"If she didn't like you, why would she have said those things to you that day?"

"I refuse to believe that you wouldn't have a little bit of affection for such a beautiful sister-in-law."

"Don't I understand you men?"

Upon hearing this...

Lu Chuan was stunned at first.

immediately.

His expression froze.

My heart skipped a beat for a split second.

In his mind, the heart-wrenching confession of Liu Fuyao before her death in the Twin Saints' Relics flashed through his mind again.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Chuan's voice was slightly deep.

"I've been married."

"She is my ex-wife's sister."

Sun Miaoyin's face was full of disdain.

Stop deceiving yourself.

"We're already divorced, what's there to be shy about?"

"Your ex-wife Liu Ruyan is blind; she deserves it."

"A girl as good as Fuyao is hard to find even with a lantern, so let me ask you one last question."

Do you like her?

Lu Chuan fell silent again.

no answer.

Sun Miaoyin, however, remained relentless.

He simply pushed Lu Chuan by the back and headed towards the stairs.

"If you like her, go for it!"

"These grown men are so indecisive."

"Go now, upstairs, inside."

"Just pin her down on the bed, rip off her clothes, and force her into marriage!"

On the stairs.

Just as Liu Fuyao reached the corner, she stumbled.

He nearly tripped and fell on the steps.

In an instant, her ears turned bright red, and even her fair neck was tinged with a blush.

That brat Miaoyin!

That's incredibly bold!

They dare to spout the most outrageous and vulgar words!

How could she say such a thing in front of her brother-in-law!

but……

Will my brother-in-law really come?

Liu Fuyao panicked instantly. After quickly regaining her balance, she rushed upstairs and into her room.

With a "bang".

The door was slammed shut.

Only then did she press her back tightly against the door, her heart pounding wildly.

Will my brother-in-law come?

What will he think?

Will you think I'm not a good girl?

I still feel that I secretly instructed Miaoyin to do this?

Just as Liu Fuyao's mind was in complete chaos, filled with wild thoughts...

A series of steady footsteps suddenly came from outside the door and then stopped in front of the house.

Liu Fuyao immediately tensed up.

She could tell.

That's my brother-in-law's footsteps.

In that instant.

Liu Fuyao held her breath, her fists clenched unconsciously, and all she could hear was the increasingly rapid beating of her heart.

coming.

My brother-in-law is here.

next moment.

"Bang bang bang".

Three knocks sounded on the door.

Accompanying this was Lu Chuan's deep voice.

"Soaring High"

"Open the door."

"I...have something I want to tell you..."

Inside the door.

Liu Fuyao pressed herself tightly against the door panel.

My chest heaved violently, and my heart pounded deafeningly.

My brother-in-law really came.

What is he going to say?

Is it about rejecting oneself?

At this moment, Liu Fuyao's long, straight legs even felt a little weak.

But in the end, she took a deep breath and tried to calm her frantic emotions.

She stretched out her slender, fair fingers and grasped the doorknob.

Click.

The door was opened a crack.

Liu Fuyao poked half her head out, her usually cool face now incredibly flushed.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Fuyao turned to the side and awkwardly ushered Lu Chuan into the room.

inside the room.

The decorations were quite cozy, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of a young girl.

The door slammed shut.

An atmosphere of ambiguity began to spread uncontrollably between the two.

Liu Fuyao clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands, her head lowered, her long, straight legs nervously pressed together.

Lu Chuan found a chair and sat down.

His gaze unconsciously fell on her cool and aloof face.

"You heard what Sun Miaoyin said, didn't you?"

Liu Fuyao's ears burned, and her voice was low.

"Um."

Lu Chuan sighed.

"She's your best friend, you know her personality better than I do."

"Always outspoken."

Don't take it to heart.

The light in Liu Fuyao's eyes dimmed instantly.

My heart, which had been racing, plummeted to rock bottom.

A sense of loss washed over me like a tidal wave.

What does brother-in-law mean by this?

Are you rejecting me?

But the next second, a stubbornness broke through the cowardice.

Liu Fuyao suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her clear, cold gaze filled with stubbornness.

"Then... what is it that you want to tell me, brother?"

"only……"

"Did you just come to tell me not to take Miaoyin's words seriously?"

His voice trembled, barely concealing it.

Lu Chuan met her gaze.

The girl's eyes were clear and bright. Although she was trying to muster her courage, one could still see her immense nervousness and anticipation.

There was also a hint of barely perceptible fear.

As she walked through the ruins, she resolutely told him, "Brother-in-law, I love you."

They are exactly the same.

In an instant, Lu Chuan felt something soft yet heavy strike his heart.

Lu Chuan thought for a moment before continuing.

"No."

"I'm here to tell you."

"Sun Miaoyin said something that makes sense."

"I'm not made of wood."

Liu Fuyao held her breath.

Cardiac arrest.

What does that mean?

As if she had thought of a certain possibility, her eyes instantly burned with passion.

Lu Chuan then shifted his gaze to the window.

"I've known your feelings for a long time."

"I heard clearly what you shouted in the ruins."

The image of Liu Ruyan's repulsive face flashed through my mind.

That woman, for the sake of her so-called adopted brother Su Yan, ruthlessly abandoned him on their wedding night.

Extremely disgusting.

"But I've been married."

"The other person is your sister."

"This relationship, and the way it ended, was not a good one."

"This makes me extremely cautious about starting a new relationship."

"Especially with you..."

"You could even call it cowardice."

Lu Chuan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm afraid that I might just be acting impulsively and hurt you again."

"I'm also afraid..."

"I am not worthy of your pure heart."

"You are young, talented, and have unlimited potential for the future."

"And me..."
