Chapter 260: What if I marry her? (1)
Shen Shiye recalled how Gong Yimo was under the care of that paranoid Gong Jue. It wasn’t that he hadn’t looked for her before, but every time he did, he was blocked by Gong Jue’s people.
He humped, “I’m afraid that even if you want to leave, you might not be able to.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it because you have such a good brother?” Shen Shiye sneered and said, “His method is not bad, but unfortunately, he still can’t protect you.”
When he said this, his expression became serious.
“I tried to look for you last time, but Gong Jue had guards everywhere so I couldn’t see you. However, I’ve sent someone to watch over that place for a while. Although he didn’t manage to get in, he found a suspicious person. But unfortunately, he didn’t catch the person.”
Gong Yimo laid her upper body on the table; she wasn’t listening to him at all.
Shen Shiye sighed: ‘how did he fall in love with a girl who had such a big heart?’
“Your status is very special right now. If you’re careless even for a second, you could die! Can you act a little more serious?”
Gong Yimo finally looked up at him, “It’s the same whether I guard against those people or not. Besides, I have a big dream to fulfill, I don’t have the time to pay attention to these twists and turns…”
Shen Shiye teased her, “Is it to find someone to marry?”
Gong Yimo raised her head and looked at him in disdain.
“No! As long as my dream isn’t fulfilled, I won’t bother about other things.”
Her words made Shen Shiye surprised, “What do you want to do, tell me.”
Perhaps she had a lot to drink, Gong Yimo leaned closer to him and mysteriously said, “I have many ideas…I want a free trade between the four nations, so that money would flow in from all directions…!”
Shen Shiye was just about to mock her for being a money-grubber until she continued speaking.
“I want Lou Ye to stop bothering our Da Yu country along with Yu Heng kingdom everyday because of Lou Ye’s food and clothing shortages. I don’t want commoners to have such great difficulty traveling out of Yu Heng just because it’s sandwiched between two other nations. I want Yu Qi to stop thinking that if a woman comes to power, everything would become chaotic. When the war is over, I want each little nation around us to stop fearing for its safety or be forced to contribute most of its labor and achievements to appease the bigger nations to gain peace.”
She stood up and heroically waved her hand. She was looking at him, but it seemed like she was looking right through him like she could see the vast and endless lands.
“Of course, what I want the most is for our Da Yu to start a golden age, so that all the hardworking people can live with enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear. I want the old people to have someone to depend on and the youth would have more room to grow…”
“Then…I want the next few decades to be peaceful, without any war.”
Her words made Shen Shiye stared at her blankly. He didn’t expect to hear such words from her; her words suddenly made his brain chaotic.
When Gong Yimo saw Shen Shiye’s appearance, she almost burst into laughter.
“Do you feel like I’m exaggerating and that my thoughts are too arrogant? Hahaha!”
However, when her smile faded, she looked at Shen Shiye. Her beautiful sparkling eyes unexpectedly showed a little grief…
“What should I do? This is what I really want…”
“I don’t want to fall in love with someone because I will become narrow-minded and negligent. I don’t want to get married. People often say that a woman’s love is a hero’s tomb, but…”
When she said this, she was already pretty drunk. She propped herself up with one hand using the table, while she used her other hand to poke Shen Shiye’s chin.
She smiled, “It’s just like your face. Your face is so enchanting that when people see it, they can’t help but be attracted to it.”
