Chapter 1750: Chapter 1750: Their Wedding Night
In the past, it was purely masculine in style, but now it’s softened with a feminine touch. It’s obvious it’s a couple’s room.
...
At the bedroom door, Nangong Xu straightened his suit slightly and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Ruyue, I’m coming in."
He pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Nangong Ruyue sitting quietly on the bed.
She had already changed out of her wedding dress, taken a bath, washed her hair, and her long hair softly draped over her shoulders.
Only two warm wall lamps were lit in the room, and the light was not very bright.
In such hazy lighting, her beautiful features became even more captivating.
Nangong Xu closed the door and walked forward.
He kept staring at her, his dark eyes glinting with a burning light.
Sitting beside her, he turned her around to face him.
"Ruyue, today I finally married you. This isn’t a dream, is it?" he asked hoarsely.
Nangong Ruyue calmly looked at him, not answering.
Nangong Xu smiled and said, "Since I was a child, I fantasized about marrying you. I never thought today’s the day my wish came true."
"..."
"Ruyue, I want to ask you one question. Have you ever liked me in the past?" Nangong Xu asked earnestly.
Nangong Ruyue retorted: [I also want to ask you, why were you so cruel to Xiao Zexin back then? Is he alive or dead now?]
Nangong Xu’s expression suddenly turned a little displeased.
On their wedding day, did she have to bring up Xiao Zexin?
"I asked you first; you answer me first."
Nangong Ruyue smiled coldly: "What do you think?"
Nangong Xu’s face suddenly became dark and even more unpleasant!
So she really never liked him, loved him?
"No, I don’t believe it!" He couldn’t believe she had never had feelings for him.
Nangong Xu’s hand on her shoulder tightened: "Ruyue, tell me the truth, have you ever liked me?"
He did not use the word ’love’.
Because he feared her answer would be even more unfeeling.
Nangong Ruyue looked at him indifferently: [You answer me first, is Zexin alive or dead?]
Nangong Xu had never told her this answer.
In the past, he didn’t say it for fear she’d seek death upon knowing the truth. Now, he didn’t say it for fear their relationship would again become strained.
But Nangong Ruyue wouldn’t allow him to evade any longer.
[Tell me, is he still alive, Nangong Xu? Concealing this for life only keeps me holding onto hope that he’ll return. I’ve waited enough; I don’t want to wait anymore.]
Nangong Ruyue’s eyes were filled with pleading.
Nangong Xu pressed his lips together, unable to speak the truth.
[Speak!] Nangong Ruyue was somewhat anxious.
Nangong Xu said in a low voice, "I don’t know."
Nangong Ruyue’s eyes instantly turned cold: [Even at this point, you’re still unwilling to tell me the truth?]
Nangong Xu suddenly got angry!
"Must you bring him up at this moment? Don’t forget, you’re my wife now; tonight is our wedding night!"
In a certain sense, today was indeed their wedding night.
Nangong Xu’s good mood was completely ruined by her.
"Additionally, you promised me you’d accept me from now on, yet you still can’t forget him. Is this the promise you made to me?!"
Nangong Ruyue quickly collected herself, nodded: [I understand, from now on, I will not ask about this matter again.]
"Will you forget him from now on?" Nangong Xu pressed.
Nangong Ruyue’s face was very calm: [I will forget him...]
Her answer took Nangong Xu by surprise; he didn’t expect her to agree so easily to forget Xiao Zexin.
