It was a huge red bed. From the bed to the pillow to the blanket and even to the veil, it was all red.
“Lord, you like red?”
Lu Sheng realized belatedly that Chu Sihan, who had returned to the Netherworld, seemed to love red.
“It’s not that I like it, but Mother set it up.”
Mother?
Lu Sheng blinked.
Speaking of Chu Sihan’s mother, she had not seen the woman whom her master once liked.
Chu Sihan let her sit on the chair and sat beside her.
He waved his hand and a pot of tea and teacups appeared on the table.
Lu Sheng looked around and realized that everything in the room was not simple.
She suddenly suspected that Chu Sihan was showing off his wealth by bringing her to the Water Palace.
“Tell me what you like.”
Chu Sihan placed the cup of tea in front of her and smiled.
Lu Sheng looked at him and raised her eyebrows. “Lord, I like this palace. Can you give it to me?”
“If you like it, feel free to move everything inside away. It’s just that…”
Chu Sihan paused and said helplessly, “I’m afraid I can’t do anything about this palace.”
The Water Palace was equivalent to a towering tree. Its roots were already pierced deeply into the River of Forgetfulness. If this palace was moved away, this place would probably be drowned by the water of the River of Forgetfulness immediately.
It was alright for this place to be submerged, but many plants in this palace had become spirits.
If this place was drowned, they would quickly be devoured by the evil beings in the River of Forgetfulness.
Lu Sheng chuckled. “I was joking.”
How would she dare to accept such a valuable palace?
Even if Chu Sihan really wanted to give this to her, she did not dare to take it.
“Sheng Sheng.”
“Huh?”
Seeing Chu Sihan’s tone suddenly lower, Lu Sheng replied suspiciously.
She had just looked up when the man’s thumb was already on her red lips.
Lu Sheng was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
“Marry me? Marry me and the Chu Mansion is yours. Snowfall Villa is also yours. Everything in the Water Palace will also be yours.”
Chu Sihan’s eyes were smiling, but his heart was beating nervously.
This was the first time in a thousand years that he deeply understood what it meant to be nervous.
“I…”
Lu Sheng regained her senses and was about to speak when Chu Sihan gestured for her to keep quiet.
“Don’t speak.”
He cupped her face with both hands and rubbed his thumb lightly at the corner of her eye, as if he was caressing a treasure.
“You don’t have to answer me now. However, I just want to tell you that I’m definitely going to marry you!”
Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Lu Sheng’s heart trembled.
She pursed her lips and did not know what to do. She could only stare at him blankly.
The man’s breath filled her nose and his red eyes seemed to bewitch her.
Her waist tightened and Lu Sheng regained her senses.
“Lord, you…”
“Don’t call me Lord anymore.”
Chu Sihan lowered his head and rubbed his nose against hers. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Call me Sihan.”
“Si… Sihan.”
Lu Sheng’s face reddened immediately.
Chu Sihan chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
This time, it was much gentler than the previous sloppy kiss.
Even though it was her first time, Lu Sheng was still not used to this kind of intimacy.
This made her panic and become unlike herself. Hence, she could not help but resist.
She wanted to retreat, but her head was held down by a big hand, preventing her from doing so.
