Chapter 314 Let's see if I dare?
Duanmu Chuze sighed softly, then pulled the struggling Mu Xinnuan into his arms. "Anuan, I didn't mean to leave, but if I didn't leave, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself. Do you understand?"
He clearly felt the woman in his arms stiffen slightly, and for a while, Duanmu Chuze could feel her body tense. It seemed she had also thought of that place. At that moment, he felt even more embarrassed.
But he was reluctant to let go of the person in his arms. After thinking it over, he chuckled softly, "Anuan, grow up quickly. Don't make me wait too long."
These words were rather blunt. Mu Xin Nuan's face turned red. She wanted to break free from his embrace but couldn't. She could only bury her head in his chest, her hands tightly gripping his clothes. It was clear that she was very nervous.
Sensing the discomfort of the lovely girl in his arms, Duanmu Chuze stopped smiling and instead tightened his arms around her. "Wait a little longer. As long as your father handles his task well this time, the Emperor will naturally reward him. Then, it will be the best time for the Emperor to issue the decree for the marriage."
Mu Xin Nuan remained silent. Several years after her rebirth, she had never had any expectations for love before. Even when Duanmu Chuze forcibly kissed her, she still felt a bit of resistance in her heart.
It's not that I'm against Duanmu Chuze, but rather that I'm against feelings! More precisely, I'm against romantic love.
But unexpectedly, today, she actually fell in love!
Mu Xin Nuan didn't know how her relationship with him would develop in the future. After all, as a daughter of the Mu family, it was impossible for her to remain unmarried for life! The eldest daughter of the Mu family would absolutely not be allowed to be that kind of person.
However, in her heart, Duanmu Chuze was ultimately not a suitable candidate.
His status is too high!
She is clearly a person of exceptional stature, like the sun in the clouds. How could I, a mere count's daughter, be worthy of her?
Putting aside his illustrious military achievements, his status as Prince Chang Le was something she could only look up to but never touch. So why was she so entangled with him?
Duanmu Chuze knew that the little girl in his arms, although young, was very cautious, even somewhat skeptical, when it came to matters of the heart.
She was only fourteen years old, but she was quite different from other young ladies!
Generally speaking, girls of this age are full of curiosity about matters between men and women and are very much looking forward to their future husbands. However, he had never seen any of these qualities in this little girl.
I don't know what she's been through, but she completely ignores the psychological expectations that normal girls have. When I first met her, she was just a ten-year-old girl. What emotional trauma could she have experienced?
But whenever he saw the deep sorrow in her eyes, he couldn't help but wonder, who could be so heartless as to hurt such a beautiful woman?
"Anuan, believe me. I know I've made you feel nervous and uneasy, perhaps because of my identity, perhaps because of my military achievements, but Anuan, I want you to believe me, the person I want to marry in this life, the person I'm about to marry, is you! And it can only be you, Mu Xinnuan!"
Mu Xin Nuan's heart trembled. How could she not be moved?
But after the painful lessons of her previous life, can a man's words still be trusted?
"Anuan, don't push yourself too hard. If you trust me, then don't rush things. I won't pressure you, and you shouldn't pressure yourself either. Let's try to take it slow together. I'll gradually give you confidence and slowly make you completely trust me. Anuan, okay?"
What else can be said?
A prince, the most sought-after young prince in the capital, was now using such a humble attitude to seek my opinion.
Is this still the same Duanmu Chuze who made countless wealthy men in the capital flock to him?
Duanmu Chuze wasn't in a hurry; he simply loosened his grip slightly to prevent her from becoming too tense. However, he didn't let go completely, fearing that she might suddenly break free from his embrace.
He didn't like that empty feeling! He really didn't like it!
He didn't know how long he had waited, so long that Duanmu Chuze's initial expectation was slowly turning into disappointment, or even despair, when he finally felt Mu Xin Nuan on his chest move slightly.
Duanmu Chuze paused for a moment, then looked down at her.
She still clutched her clothes tightly with one hand, then pursed her lips, nodded slightly, but didn't utter a single word.
Duanmu Chuze was overjoyed and almost screamed out loud!
If it weren't for the fact that the room was clearly a woman's boudoir, she probably would have done something truly unbelievable.
Even though he didn't say anything, Mu Xin Nuan could still feel the strong joy emanating from him, and even an indescribable sense of happiness!
Mu Xin Nuan was stunned. She hadn't made any promises to him, she had just nodded and agreed to his suggestion, so why was he so happy?
"Ah Nuan, that's great! You finally believe me."
Mu Xin Nuan gave him a slightly embarrassed look. "You might barge into my Moon Pavilion at any time, and my people won't be able to stop you even if they wanted to. What can I do if I don't trust you?"
Duanmu Chuze was a little smug. "That's right! As the saying goes, women are afraid of persistent men, and there's definitely some truth to that!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan's face flushed even more. She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and stepped directly on his foot!
Duanmu Chuze grunted, managing not to jump up, but he still loosened his grip, giving Mu Xinnuan the opportunity to break free from his embrace.
A look of dejection immediately appeared on Duanmu Chuze's face.
"Anuan, let me hug you!"
This voice sounds just like a spoiled child!
Mu Xin Nuan felt a chill run down her spine, shuddered, and took two steps back. "It's getting late, you should go."
Duanmu Chuze reluctantly pouted, but he knew it was indeed getting late, and if he didn't leave soon, he might not be able to get up for the morning court session tomorrow. He had been nagged by his father for half the day.
"Anuan, go to sleep first. I'll leave after I see you're sound asleep."
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't leave, I don't want this luminous pearl anymore. Do you want me to throw it away?"
Duanmu Chuze was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and said in a sinister tone, "You dare?"
Mu Xin Nuan wasn't afraid of him at all, raising an eyebrow, "Do you think I dare?"
