1876: I’ll Marry You

I’ll Marry You

"Good." Ye Xun smiled and turned to take a small notebook from his drawer. "Take this. When I return from the war, I'll marry you."2

Ye Xun had been proposing for three years, asking Huo Sanyan when she wanted to get married. Yet, Huo Sanyan had only been avoiding the question in the past. But now, when she heard that Ye Xun wished to marry her, tears instantly filled her eyes.

Being able to marry the man she loved brought her happiness.

"What's wrong? Do you not want to marry me?" Ye Xun asked as he wiped the tears from Huo Sanyan's face.

"No… I'm just too happy right now…"

Huo Sanyan took the notebook from Ye Xun and opened it. In the notebook were names of different stores for wedding preparation.

"When did you start writing these down?" Huo Sanyan asked.

Ye Xun sat down beside Huo Sanyan and explained, "Quite some time ago. These are some of the best stores in Mo City. Ask Jing Xi to accompany you to these places when you get back. Choose the ones you like so you can get ready to be my wife."

"Okay."

Huo Sanyan held the notebook tightly. Seeing how Ye Xun had a role in protecting the country, Huo Sanyan decided to take on the task of preparing the wedding.

Ye Xun should be able to return from the war when the preparation was completed.

Huo Sanyan could hear her heart thumping loudly as she thought of them getting married soon.

After taking care of everything, Huo Sanyan left the base the next day.

Ye Xun took her to Mei City and had his most trusted guard take her back to Mo City.

Before Huo Sanyan left, she cuddled herself in Ye Xun's arms as he hugged her tightly.

They looked at each other and kissed.

People who walked past them kept staring at them since what they saw was two men kissing in public.

They all had the same question in their minds.

Since when are people so open in Mei City?

After the kiss, Ye Xun helped Huo Sanyan into the car and ordered his guard to keep her safe at all costs.

"Don't worry, General. I'll protect her with my life!"

"Don't forget to eat three meals a day, okay?" Ye Xun turned to Huo Sanyan and said. "You can ask the maids to make food or go to the palace for meals. Don't drink too much either and rest more. Take good care of yourself."

"I will."

Huo Sanyan nodded as she tried to hold back her tears. Words that used to sound annoying were words that warmed her heart now.

She then took off the jade necklace and gave it to Ye Xun.

"This is my protection charm, something that I've used forever. I hope it can protect you too."

"Thank you." Ye Xun smiled and put the necklace around his neck.

He then let go of Huo Sanyan's hands and turned to the guard.

"It's time."

As the car left, Huo Sanyan's eyes never left Ye Xun.

"Huo Sanyan!" Ye Xun shouted. "Wait for me!"

Even when the car was already far from where they'd left, Huo Sanyan could still see Ye Xun standing where he was seeing them off.

Huo Sanyan finally turned her head to the front after Ye Xun disappeared from view, and she felt lonely again.
