Chapter 412: In this case, do you still want to marry me?
In June, after a few rains in Guangdong City, the continued high temperature finally cooled down a bit. In the evening, Chu Zeyan asked Lu Xingchen to go for a walk in the garden.
Chu Zeyan recovered very quickly. Except for the neck brace that he has not been able to take off, his leg that was previously immobile can now move, but he still has to sit in a wheelchair and be pushed by someone.
So, their walk was that Chu Zeyan was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by Shao Ping, while Lu Xingchen, whose legs were wrapped like a mummy, walked slowly beside them.
Lu Xingchen asked Chu Zeyan: "Did the doctor say when your leg will recover?"
Chu Zeyan rubbed his numb thigh and said, "It's fine as long as the brain is completely healed. Anyway, it's getting better. The doctor said it's not a big problem."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Chu Zeyan would have some sequelae because of this incident. However, hehe, she couldn't help but smile again.
Hearing her laughter, Chu Zeyan looked up at her, "Did I say something funny?"
"Oh, no." Lu Xingchen quickly explained to him, "I just think it's great that you're okay."
"Really?" It didn't seem to be the case. Chu Zeyan stared into her eyes, trying to see something.
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but raise his hand wrapped in gauze and admitted: "Okay, I heard the conversation between you and your grandfather that day."
"My conversation with my grandfather? What did we talk about?"
"I said... For example, pretend to be disabled and take the girl from the Lu family home?"
Chu Zeyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter, "My neck is about to be crooked from laughing."
Lu Xingchen and Shao Ping became anxious at the same time.
Lu Xingchen hurried to help him with his wheelchair: "Don't move...or let's go back to the ward."
"It's okay, I was just kidding you guys." Chu Zeyan supported himself with a neck protector, but still couldn't help laughing.
Lu Xingchen looked at him worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay. But you, after walking for so long, do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
Lu Xingchen also saw the empty bench under the shade of the tree in front. Worried about Chu Zeyan's injury, she said, "Well, sit for a while before leaving."
The two men sat opposite each other, Lu Xingchen sat on a chair and Chu Zeyan sat in a wheelchair. After Shao Ping braked the wheelchair, he stepped back to a distance that was convenient for them to talk.
Chu Zeyan slowly leaned back and looked at the branches blown by the wind. "This weather is so comfortable. To be honest, these few days in the hospital are the most leisurely time I have had in a while. It feels like I haven't rested for a long time."
"I would rather work overtime without sleep than resting with pain."
"Workaholic." Chu Zeyan looked down on Lu Xingchen, then asked her with a smile, "If I really become disabled and I ask you to take responsibility, will you agree?"
Lu Xingchen looked at him and said, "To be honest, I actually thought about this question carefully later."
"Oh?" Chu Zeyan became more interested, "What's the conclusion?"
"The conclusion is, it depends on what responsibility you ask me to take."
Chu Zeyan smiled, "You still have to divide this? Then what responsibility are you willing to take?"
Lu Xingchen answered seriously: "I can take care of you, do things for you when you are disabled."
Chu Zeyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what are you unwilling to be responsible for?"
"Well..." Lu Xingchen looked at him and said in a joking tone, "For example, let me be the granddaughter-in-law of the Chu family?"
"Heh..." Chu Zeyan smiled unhappily, "Is it so bad to marry me?"
"It's not about whether it's good or not, but that's even more irresponsible. Shouldn't marriage be based on love first, and mutual consent, and then a long-term relationship? If there is no love, and it's not mutual consent, it will eventually be a tragedy, right?"
"I didn't expect that such words could come out of the mouth of a child from the Lu family like you."
This made Lu Xingchen a little confused.
Chu Zeyan smiled and said, "Whether it's the Lu family, the Chu family, or other big families, there are countless marriages for profit. Although many of these marriages were without love from the beginning to the end, it is often these marriages without love that make it to the end."
That’s true. Lu Xingchen was unable to refute it for a moment.
Chu Zeyan knew what she was thinking and said, "It's normal for you to think that way, because your mother Xu Fanghua and Lu Dingsheng are the opposite example of marriage for profit. They got married because they loved each other."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but add: "But in the end, they really didn't make it to the end."
After saying that, she smiled helplessly.
Chu Zeyan said: "You don't have to be disappointed. Look at my mother. She pursued love all her life, but she got a short-lived spark, which ultimately led to the tragedy of her life, and the tragedy of my sister."
In this regard, Chu Zeyan is indeed a little more miserable than her. At least she had lived in a happy fairy tale for nearly twenty years.
Seeing Chu Zeyan saying this with a smile on his face, Lu Xingchen asked, "So, do you think that even if there is no love between us and we are not willing, we can still live together for a long time because of the benefits?"
Chu Zeyan thought seriously for a while because of her words, "I do think that as long as two people have common interests, they can live together for a long time even without love, but I can't do that with you."
Lu Xingchen looked at him in confusion.
He looked at her and smiled, "So, this is why I didn't really pretend to be disabled. Even if I really was disabled, I wouldn't want to tie you to my side as a responsibility."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Chu Zeyan looked at her quietly for a moment and said, "Because it's not that there is no love between us, nor that we are willing, but that I like you, I like you so much that I am willing to live with you, but you didn't give me the same response."
Lu Xingchen's heart tightened inexplicably, and the word "sorry" almost came to her lips, but she pushed it back into her chest. She felt sorry, but Chu Zeyan definitely didn't want her to apologize like this.
Seeing her embarrassment, Chu Zeyan curled his lips and continued, "It's because I like you too much, and you said that you were worried about another Su Wanyi coming out. And I thought about it, if I tie you up by my side and you still don't love me, I will really become the new Su Wanyi. If I have to kill you because of love, I will kill myself."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but swallow, not because he was scared, but because more of apologia and shock were suppressed in his throat.
If she had doubted Chu Zeyan's love for her before, she believed it now. She could even clearly feel his strong but suppressed feelings, and these feelings were so strong that she was shocked. Why did he like her so much?
Seeing that she remained silent, Chu Zeyan suddenly raised his voice and asked her, "Are you still willing to be responsible for me?"
Responsible for what? The abrupt words made Lu Xingchen, who was still shocked, a little confused. Chu Zeyan continued to ask, "In this case, do you still want to marry me?"
She never said she wanted to marry him. Lu Xingchen was still wondering when a tall figure rushed in front of her, looked at her with panic and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xingchen, you must not marry him."
