After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 197 Promise

Chapter 197

Ye Yunzhou buried his head in her neck, not moving for a long time. When her patience ran out and she was about to reach out to push him away, Ye Yunzhou finally raised his head and slowly withdrew his hand that was originally around her waist. Instead, he stroked her cheek, applying a little force, and their foreheads touched intimately. Then, in his low and gentle voice, he slowly said, "Whatever you want, I will do as you wish. If you don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, even if you let me marry into your family, there is nothing wrong with that. I am not the only son in the family. Ah Xing can also inherit the Marquis' Mansion. Don't worry about these things. I never fight a battle without confidence. You have to trust me."

"If you really do this, and regret it later, won't you blame me?"

Ye Yunzhou noticed the worry in her eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "Do you think I can't earn a fortune like the Marquis' Mansion? Or do you think I'm such a loser that I can only barely survive by relying on the grace left by my ancestors?"

"Of course not." Luo Shuiyao quickly denied.

Ye Yunzhou looked at her sincerely and spoke in a resounding voice, "Whatever the Marquis' Mansion can have, I can also earn with my own ability! You just need to remember that I am me, and don't worry about anything else. No matter what happens in the future, I will stand firmly in front of you, protecting you from wind and rain, and keeping you safe.

As he spoke, his lips slowly pressed against the red lips that he had been thinking about day and night, kissing them lightly and tenderly for a few times. Then he pulled away a little and looked into her eyes, "You have to believe me, understand?"

Luo Shuiyao was bewitched by him, seemingly forced, but in reality, there were already waves in her heart, and she had already actively accepted his kiss. After she squeezed out a light "hmm" from her throat, before she could say anything else, the man in front of her eagerly kissed her, blocking out all her subsequent words and swallowing them between their tightly pressed lips.

Unlike before, when Luo Shuiyao was the one being led and controlled, her every move tinged with awkwardness and a provocative manner, this time, the reins were in Ye Yunzhou's hands. His kiss seemed to perfectly match his unbridled and powerful nature. His actions were overbearing, his emotions overflowing with passion, and his every move exuded unquestionable control. The atmosphere was completely different from before.

However, he was clearly very measured in his actions. When Luo Shuiyao showed signs of being unable to bear it, he stopped in time and pulled away, but his head was still buried in Luo Shuiyao's neck, breathing heavily, trying his best to calm his surging emotions, desperately suppressing the burning and unbearable feelings in his heart.

Luo Shuiyao felt his hot breath. She was no naive young girl, so she naturally knew what the situation meant. But suddenly, a thousand thoughts flooded her mind, and words reached her lips, yet she didn't know how to begin. After a moment's hesitation, she simply feigned obliviousness, quietly tilting her head to the side and waiting, letting him calm his turbulent emotions.

After a long while, Ye Yunzhou finally raised his head. He had regained his usual calmness, but the tenderness in his eyes was even stronger. He reached out and touched Luo Shuiyao's head, then helped her lie down slowly, and said softly, "Someone is outside. I'll go out and take a look."

Luo Shuiyao nodded, followed his strength, and lay down safely on the bed.

Ye Yunzhou carefully tucked in the quilt for Luo Shuiyao, then turned and walked steadily out of the room. Luo Shuiyao's eyes followed his back, and the entanglement in her heart for these days seemed to be completely put aside in that moment. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that once all this was settled, it wouldn't seem so difficult to accept. At worst, she could just treat it as a love affair in this ancient time.

"How are you, miss?"

Before Chun Xingren even stepped into the room, the voice came in anxiously. Then, with a "creak", the door was pushed open, and she saw Luo Shuiyao lying on the bed.

Seeing her expression full of worry, Luo Shuiyao straightened up and sat back on the bedside, a faint smile on her face as she said softly, "I'm fine. I just had a minor injury. Don't worry."

Chun Xing looked her over carefully and saw that her face was rosy. Besides her lips being slightly redder than usual, she was fine. She breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. You have no idea how worried I was when the prince sent someone to tell me you were injured."

Luo Shuiyao grabbed her hand and comforted her softly: "Look, I'm fine, aren't I? Don't worry."

"Have you applied medicine to your wound? I brought the medicine you prescribed." Chun Xing asked with concern.

Luo Shuiyao moved her legs, feeling the burning pain subside a bit. It had been over an hour since she'd applied the ointment, and after all that trouble, the ointment on her legs must have worn off. She said, "Then get me a basin of hot water. I'll scrub myself clean and then reapply the ointment."

Chun Xing nodded, responded, and then quickly walked out of the house.

Ye Yunzhou didn't go far, standing by the pillar not far from the door. After hearing the conversation inside, he walked towards the small kitchen. This courtyard had a separate small kitchen, which had almost never been used in the past. It had just been used to boil a pot of water, and the water in the pot was still warm.

Chun Xing left the house and looked around, wanting to ask someone, but she saw no one. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. She heard the sound of water coming from a small house not far to the left, so she walked towards it.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached the kitchen door, she saw Ye Yunzhou coming out with a basin of warm water. Chun Xing's eyes moved downwards, and she saw the wooden basin in his hand and the warm water with a hint of heat. She was immediately startled and hurriedly reached out to take the basin, saying, "Sir, I can do it myself. Why should I let you do it yourself?"

Ye Yunzhou didn't refuse and handed the wooden basin to Chun Xing, saying, "Serve your young lady well. Someone will bring dinner over in a while. If you have anything to do in the evening, come find me in the back yard."

Chun Xing followed his gaze, but because of her short stature, her view was obstructed, so she could only vaguely see the roof of another courtyard behind this one; the rest was unclear. However, she quickly turned her head and replied crisply, "Don't worry, my lord. I have my servants here with me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the room where Luo Shuiyao was. After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned around and left.

"Miss, the hot water is here."

Chun Xing didn't notice what just happened. She focused on watching the prince leave and then turned and went into the house.
