Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 373: What are you worried about?

No wonder her attitude towards him had been so awkward for a while, he had thought he only needed to be patient and give her time, even though his heart had been jumping up and down.
However, it turned out to be because of this!

“Should I not worry about this?” She asked rhetorically.

“Of course you should not!” Ah Jian exclaimed, feeling that the whole world was brighter and brighter.
Smiling brilliantly, he said: “Why did you not say something earlier? Fang Zhou, I have never been married, let alone had children.
You are worried for nothing!”

She stared, stunned, the hurriedly asked: “You, you remember? Do you remember your past?”

“No.” Ah Jian shook his head, expression dark.
“But I know, I know I have never been married.
Fang Zhou, believe me.”

That kind of connection between the closest people, even if he had lost his memory, he should still remember the feel of it but he did not.
Moreover, he believed that this trust in himself could not be wrong.

“…” Lian Fang Zhou was dumbfounded.
Could this be the case?

“Obviously you are not too young, how could this be possible…” Lian Fang Zhou started to say.

He frowned at her.
He couldn’t answer her question and had no choice but to laugh: “I really don’t know about this.
Maybe my family was too poor to marry? If this is true, Fang Zhou, will you dislike me?”

As he spoke, Ah Jian gave her a pitiful look, as if she would abandon him in the next second.

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or shout.
That wasn’t the point, okay! The point was: “There is no reason for you not to be married, your age is—”

“I wouldn’t remember this wrong!” Ah Jian blurted out, thinking that he shouldn’t have told her that he hadn’t remembered his past.
He paused for a second and then quickly said: “I would not remember this wrong, Fang Zhou! You have to believe me!”

“…” Lian Fang Zhou’s lips moved.
Faced with him like this, she really couldn’t say whether she believed him or not.

“Fang Zhou,” Ah Jian said in a low voice.
His eyes were full of light and his hand was tight on hers: “I, I wanted to tell you for a long time but… I was afraid you would be angry and would drive me away.
I didn’t dare to speak lightly but this time… this time…”

Although he didn’t remember anything and didn’t know whether his background was innocent, he could no longer stand to stay away from her.
He couldn’t do it, even if he wanted to, so he changed his mind.

In truth, this fake drama was actually a good thing.
If he remembered everything in the future and it turned out that his past was not good, he would still do his best to protect her.

It was not easy to meet the one person out of thousands that not only caused his heart to fall in love but also loved him back.
He knew he would never meet another in this life, only her.

Lian Fang Zhou started at him silently, huge waves surging in her heart.

After his speech, she believed him.
Why wouldn’t she?

Besides… besides him, she had never thought about marrying anyone in this life.

Even if the future was completely different than what the two of them imagined, even if in the future he remembered he had another family, so what?

At that time, even though he would go back to reunite with them and leave her in Dafang Village, she would still have her siblings, she could just return to being Lian Fang Zhou!

Until that day came, since she was tempted, why not accept this gift from the heavens?

When he had lost everything, he had come to her house…

Lian Fang Zhou’s expression became more and more gentle.
The corners of her lips were hooks and the smile in her eyes became thicker and thicker.

An unspeakable joy rose in her mind.
Raising her eyes to look at Ah Jian, an invisible wave of affection spread like ripples across her face.

“Fang Zhou! Fang Zhou!” Ah Jian was so happy he hugged her, spinning them around in a circle.
His chest was bursting with joy, boundless joy!

Startled by his childish behavior, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and hurriedly called: “Quickly, put me down! Put me down!”

Ah Jian spun them around another few times and then put her down, content.
He did not let go of her hand, unable to bear to release her.
His eyes were open wide with happiness: “Fang Zhou, I am so happy, I am really happy!”

Lian Fang Zhou’s heart felt sweet and she smiled subconsciously.
Looking into each other’s eyes, their souls communicated.
It felt like the whole world was blooming.

“Let’s go out, we’ve stayed too long in here!” Lian Fang Zhou laughed softly.
“I’ll tell the others later, it’s not good to…”

She didn’t want to provoke Cui Shao Xi too much.
If she hurt him too much, she would feel sad.
Now that she could openly love Ah Jian, she didn’t want to continue the drama.

The real thing was better than acting, there was no need to rush at this time.

The two walked out of the maze together.
Su Jing He and Fang Qing were already waiting outside.
Cui Shao Xi was nowhere to be seen.

“You finally figured it out!” Fang Qing smiled at Lian Fang Zhou while Su Jing He’s gaze jumped between the two of them, as if he had noticed something.

On a normal day, Lian Fang Zhou would have meet their gazes with an open and frank look.
Today, however, she felt a little embarrassed and was too self-conscious to meet Su Jing He’s eyes.

“We’ve let Cousin and Cousin-in-law wait a long time!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
Ah Jian also smiled but his gaze stayed on her, as if reluctant to move away.

Fang Qing nodded: “Let’s keep going, the viewing platform is just in front.
We should go up and take a look! Min Zhi said he had something to do, so he won’t join us.”

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian shared a look.
Smiling, they agreed and the group continued to move forward.

While they walked, Lian Fang Zhou sighed silently.
Had Cui Shao Xi said something? As soon as she thought this, she told herself: why are you worrying about a young master like him? Even if he’s unhappy right now, something new will attract his attention and it will be fine!

She really didn’t need to feel so guilty.

The quickly reached the observation deck where Steward Wei was waiting to point out the different areas and give them a detailed summary of where and what they were.

The viewing platform was surrounded by chrysanthemums, all of which were the ordinary, small wild varieties in yellow and white.

Although wild chrysanthemums were commonplace, these were like an ocean of flowers and the visual effect they created was extremely pleasing to the eye.

On the Double Ninth, out of all the places in the park, this viewing platform would definitely get the most visits.
Not only would you have the best of both worlds when you climb high, you could also appreciate the scenery on the way up.

Past the viewing platform, the sun gradually sank below the western horizon, covering everything between heaven and earth with a soft, golden light.

Everyone was tired after playing all day and agreed to go down to look at the racecourse before returning to their residences to rest.
Someone would bring food from the Mansion, so they didn’t need to worry about this.

The racecourse was enormous and divided into inner and outer courts.

The infield was as big as a football field.
In addition to horse riding and games, it could also be used by guests who wanted to practice their riding skills or ass a place for official competitions.

The outfield was a full circle running around the foot of the viewing platform.
The ground was flat and lightly sparsed with hillsides and trees, making it seem more exciting.

TN: Woo, finally got a confirmation on our romance!
