Chapter 1955 - 1957: I Said I’d Marry You, Did You Hear Me?

Chapter 1955: Chapter 1957: I Said I’d Marry You, Did You Hear Me?

Wang Kui had always thought his ears worked just fine, but for some reason, whenever he faced Yang Qiu, they seemed to malfunction all the time.

Especially when he heard Yang Qiu say something like she’d marry him, he almost couldn’t believe his own ears and pressed her, "What did you say?"

For Yang Qiu, saying something like that was already mortifying enough, but she hadn’t expected Wang Kui to make her say it again. She was both angry and shy, turned around to look at him, and raised her voice, "I said, if you don’t mind my past, I’ll marry you. Did you hear me this time?"

This time Wang Kui heard her perfectly. He stepped forward, a bit excited, and blurted, "I don’t mind, I don’t mind."

Yang Qiu shyly lowered her head. Her face was flushed red, but the corners of her lips were lifted. In that moment, she looked just like a bashful little lady.

Seeing Yang Qiu like this, Wang Kui was excited too, feeling like even his heartbeat had skipped half a beat.

For someone who’d always considered himself quite capable, right then he had no idea what he was supposed to do, and only managed to say, "Wait here for me a moment."

Then he turned around and pushed open the main doors of the Xuntian Escort Agency.

The moment the door swung open, it was chaos—several people piled up like tumbling acrobats, nearly falling over.

When the brothers saw Wang Kui, they all started shouting.

"Congratulations, Head Escort Master Wang!"

"Congratulations, Head Escort Master Wang!"

"..."

"..."

Seeing this scene, Yang Qiu’s face turned scarlet. She hurriedly covered her face with both hands, mortified—she’d actually been overheard by the brothers from the Escort Agency.

Afraid Yang Qiu would be embarrassed, Wang Kui frowned and barked, "Get back inside, now."

Only then did everyone scurry away like a puff of smoke, running as far as they could, or they’d definitely get chewed out.

Once they were all gone, Wang Kui turned to Yang Qiu and added, "It’s fine, they wouldn’t dare say anything. Wait here. I’ll go get the horse and take you back to Yang Family Village, and we can tell them about us while we’re at it."

Yang Qiu just stood there, nothing left but shyness. Whatever Wang Kui said, she went along with.

A moment later, she saw Wang Kui leading out a brown horse.

No carriage—were they riding back on horseback?

The two of them together?

Wang Kui could clearly see Yang Qiu’s surprise, so he asked, "Is that okay?"

"Mm." Yang Qiu nodded.

Seeing her agree, Wang Kui reached out and scooped Yang Qiu up, setting her on the horse’s back. Then he pressed a foot into the stirrup, and with a leap, swung himself into the saddle behind her.

Yang Qiu sat in front, Wang Kui sat behind, one hand holding the reins.

Yang Qiu was petite to begin with, and Wang Kui was tall and broad. From the outside, it looked almost like Yang Qiu was nestled in Wang Kui’s arms.

Yang Qiu’s little face stayed flushed the whole time. She had never experienced what it felt like to be in the arms of the man she liked.

Right now she felt nothing but happiness and joy.

"Sit tight, we’re heading out."

"Mm."

Wang Kui nudged the horse’s belly with his heel. The brown horse obediently started moving. At first, on the streets of the county town, it walked slowly, but once they left the town, Wang Kui said, "Hold on, the horse’s going to run."

Afraid Yang Qiu might fall, Wang Kui wrapped one arm around her waist and used the other to hold the reins.

Yang Qiu felt the horse going faster and faster, with the wind whooshing past them on all sides.

This was her first time sitting on horseback, yet she didn’t feel scared at all.

Only because the person behind her was the one who made her feel at ease.

The horse ran like the wind, much faster than a carriage team. In less than two hours, they arrived at Yang Family Village.
