Chapter 265 Murong Yi's Bestowed Marriage: Wuming and Xiaodie
Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie walked side by side into the backyard, the warm sunlight shining on them and outlining their graceful silhouettes. Just then, the nameless figure came into view.
The moment Wuming saw Xiaodie, his eyes flashed with surprise and excitement, his heart began to pound uncontrollably, and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Xiaodie also noticed Wuming's gaze, and her cheeks instantly flushed red. Nervous and shy, she subconsciously hid behind Lin Qianqian, lowered her head slightly, and leaned gently against Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian took in everything, her gaze darting back and forth between the two of them. She chuckled inwardly, then covered her face and burst out laughing. She quickly suppressed her laughter and tried to appear calm.
She spoke first, her voice tinged with a playful tone: "Nameless~"
As if waking from a dream, Wuming hurriedly bowed, his voice trembling slightly: "Greetings...Greetings, Your Highness." In the instant he bowed, he seemed to steal a glance at Xiaodie.
Xiaodie's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned her face away shyly, not daring to look directly at him.
Lin Qianqian's lips curled up slightly as she said gently, "Get up!" Seeing that both of them were bowing their heads and remaining silent, she chuckled again, her face full of teasing, "You two are usually so fond of bickering! Why aren't you saying a word to each other today?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie pouted slightly, gently tugged at Lin Qianqian's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Miss~" Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of reproach.
Upon hearing Xiaodie's voice, Wuming subconsciously lowered his head, but couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a shy yet sweet smile.
Just then, a steady footstep sounded: Murong Yi had returned. He stood tall and straight, his steps unhurried, his robes fluttering gently in the breeze.
As he passed by the backyard, he spotted Lin Qianqian at a glance. His eyes instantly filled with endless tenderness, as if everything in the world had lost its color at that moment, and only she was the focus of his attention.
Murong Yi quickened her pace and came to the front of the group, calling out affectionately, "Qianqian~" Her voice was full of longing.
Lin Qianqian, Xiaodie, and Wuming immediately reacted and bowed. Lin Qianqian slightly bent her knees, her posture elegant; Xiaodie and Wuming knelt on one knee, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Upon seeing this, Murong hurriedly stepped forward, gently helped Lin Qianqian up with both hands, and then took her hand, saying softly, "No need for formalities."
Then, he looked at Xiaodie and Wuming, a warm smile on his lips, and said gently, "You two can get up too."
Murong Yi's gaze swept over the three faces one by one, her eyes full of curiosity. She asked with a smile, "What are you whispering about? You're being so secretive."
Wuming lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, it's nothing, it's just... I happened to be passing by with the Princess..." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xiaodie, who understood and nodded vigorously.
Lin Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face. She hurriedly interrupted, "How could nothing be wrong! It's a huge deal!" As she spoke, she deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Upon hearing this, Wuming and Xiaodie felt a chill run down their spines, sensing something was amiss. They exchanged a glance, a hint of tension flashing in their eyes, and slowly uttered, "Your Highness..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi frowned, her face full of worry, and asked with concern, "Oh? What is it?" Her gaze was fixed on Lin Qianqian, afraid of missing any of her expressions.
Lin Qianqian's eyes sparkled with excitement, her face beaming with smiles. She leaned close to Murong Yi and whispered something in his ear that only the two of them could hear.
Her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, her lips were constantly upturned, and she would occasionally shake the hand she was holding that was holding Murong Yi, as if she couldn't wait to share a long-treasured surprise.
Upon hearing Lin Qianqian's words, Murong Yi's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and the worry in her eyes vanished, replaced by undisguised surprise and joy.
He was taken aback at first, then his lips parted involuntarily into a wide grin, and a hearty laugh burst from his chest: "Hahaha, this is truly a wonderful thing!"
He laughed so hard he almost fell over, his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and his dimples became especially prominent.
After laughing, Murong Yi seemed to remember something, her eyes filled with a mix of teasing and satisfaction as she glanced at Wuming and Xiaodie beside her.
Wuming and Xiaodie felt their hearts pounding like rabbits when they were suddenly stared at by this gaze.
Murong Yi, a smile he couldn't hide, approached Wuming with light steps. He reached out and placed his hand firmly on Wuming's shoulder, patting it gently; the warmth of his hand seemed to carry a special meaning.
On the other side, Lin Qianqian moved gracefully to Xiaodie's side and naturally took her hand. She turned slightly to the side, her eyes full of doting and tenderness, as warm as the spring sun.
Murong Yi smiled gently at Wuming and said, "Wuming, when two people love each other, they should hold hands, support each other, and spend their lives together." He paused slightly, his expression becoming serious. "I see that Xiaodie is well-behaved and sensible in the manor, and she also has feelings for you, so I have decided to betroth her to you. You must treat her well in the future. If I find out that you have mistreated her, even if it's just making her shed a single tear, I will not forgive you!"
Upon hearing this, Wuming's eyes instantly reddened, his heart surging with excitement and joy. He immediately knelt on one knee, placed his right fist on his left chest, and solemnly swore to the heavens, "Your Highness, rest assured! I, Wuming, swear to the heavens that I will dedicate my life to loving and cherishing Xiaodie. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the courtyard, every word filled with his deep affection and promise to Xiaodie.
When Xiaodie heard Murong Yi's words and saw Wuming kneeling and swearing an oath, her cheeks instantly turned hot, as red as a ripe apple.
She was surprised, delighted, and a little shy. She instinctively held Lin Qianqian's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Looking at Xiaodie's expression, Lin Qianqian pursed her lips helplessly, her eyes full of doting affection. She gently raised her hand and tenderly stroked Xiaodie's cheek, saying softly, "Look at you, where did your usual cleverness go? If you like someone, you should be bolder. Why are you being so coy?"
Xiaodie lowered her head even further and mumbled softly, "Miss..." Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness.
Lin Qianqian smiled gently, her eyes filled with relief and blessings. She gently took Xiaodie's slightly trembling hand, then grasped Wuming's hand, which was trembling slightly with excitement. She placed Xiaodie's hand firmly in Wuming's hand, folded her hands together, and held them tightly.
She tilted her head slightly, looked at Wuming with sincere eyes, and said in a gentle yet firm tone: "From now on, I'm entrusting Xiaodie to you! She's simple-minded and straightforward, so you must be more tolerant and loving towards her, and never let her suffer any injustice."
Wuming felt his heart pounding, his eyes reddening slightly. He looked up at Xiaodie, his eyes overflowing with deep affection. He gripped Xiaodie's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will protect Xiaodie with my life and not let her suffer any harm."
Xiaodie lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her cheeks flushed, a shyness tinged with an indescribable joy. She bit her lower lip slightly, secretly glancing at Wuming, then quickly lowering her head again, her appearance charming and captivating.
Feeling the warmth from the nameless palm, Xiaodie unconsciously clenched her fist, and the two hands intertwined tightly, as if at that moment they were making a promise to stay together for life.
