Chapter 1413: Chapter 1410: How Sweetly You Speak

Zi Ruoxi’s gaze turned from disdainful to indifferent after listening to his explanation.

"You really have a way with words!" Zi Ruoxi suddenly lamented, then stepped forward a few paces, gazing at the calm lake ahead. A wisp of Qing Feng gently brushed her cheek, her eyes becoming vacant and profound.

At that moment, many scenes flashed through her mind like a movie, over and over, filled with sweetness and sorrow... happiness and unhappiness... Alas, no matter how she struggled, she was just a woman...

"What do you plan to do then?" Zi Ruoxi asked with a smile, her tone incredibly relaxed, revealing none of the fluctuations in her thoughts. Then, without waiting for his reply, she continued softly, "You want to wait until I’ve had cosmetic surgery and then hold the wedding, right!"

Qiao Junlie’s heart stirred slightly.

"Zi Ruoxi, I see from your expression that whatever you think is best is fine. Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait until after the surgery, we can register right now." Qiao Junlie said, approaching her, gently attempting to hold her slender finger. Yet unexpectedly, Zi Ruoxi deftly sidestepped his palm, crossed her arms, walking a few steps leisurely forward, then returned. She paced back and forth, seeming to ponder something. However, she wore a mask, leaving Qiao Junlie unable to discern what she was thinking.

After a while, she seemed to have come to a decision.

"Qiao Junlie, let’s wait until after my surgery. I don’t think any man can accept the way I am now, so whether it’s the wedding or the registration... marriage is the most desired and beautiful thing in a woman’s life. We can handle all of this once I recover," Zi Ruoxi spoke calmly, as if discussing something very ordinary, without a hint of excitement or embarrassment.

No matter if her expression was right or not, her indifferent words deeply moved Qiao Junlie’s heart. He had indeed waited too long for this moment.

"Alright, alright, I’ll follow your wishes. I’ll contact the expert team as soon as possible to arrange surgery for you, making you the most beautiful bride." Qiao Junlie said emotionally.

"The most beautiful? Haha, what if I’m not beautiful?" Zi Ruoxi laughed blandly, then her gaze sank, reminding him, "I know that no matter how much surgery, I’ll never restore to the past. I’m far from being your perfect wife, so you better be psychologically prepared."

"Zi Ruoxi, do you think I’m concerned about your appearance? Although I won’t deny it, I really liked your original look. That kind of classical, enchanting beauty made me breathless, but since it can’t be recovered, I won’t dwell on it. I’m more looking forward to your future appearance." Qiao Junlie spoke, noticing Zi Ruoxi’s seemingly unconcerned demeanor; she just listened in silence. Uncontrollably, his heart tightened again, gradually leaning towards her, his arms gently holding her from behind, speaking softly with his words carried by the breeze, "Actually, Zi Ruoxi, as long as it’s you, I love you. Regardless of whether there’s any change in appearance, that’s all unimportant, what’s important is you, your heart, you will always be my only love."

Only love?!

Haha! His words are so touching, so moving! Aren’t tears almost falling, nearly being truly moved! Previously, she was just so foolishly listening, allowing it...

This time, Zi Ruoxi didn’t struggle or move, quietly letting him embrace her from behind. Now, she needed to relax his vigilance. Her initially tense body gradually softened in his embrace.

"Are you very cold? Look, your hands are so chilly!" Qiao Junlie said while holding her, clasping her small hand, carefully examining it, then rubbing a few times, trying to warm it.

"Still okay, just stayed for a long time." Zi Ruoxi replied blandly. She didn’t resist his affectionate gestures.

"Oh, I see, then I’ll take you back." Qiao Junlie said with some reluctance. Though there were many words he wanted to say, her health was paramount. Besides, he wanted to prepare, quickly proceed with preparations, striving to restore her beauty promptly, making her his bride.

"Good." Zi Ruoxi responded, politely.

Thus, this conversation ended, uneventfully, without waves. Qiao Junlie originally expected her to have some earth-shattering, impulsive actions, which would be distressing and troublesome, but he was mentally prepared for that. Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly in discussion, her good state caught him by surprise, their conversation without unnecessary hurdles.

Great, excellent, this is exactly the effect he wanted! A smile appeared on Qiao Junlie’s face.

Afterwards, Zi Ruoxi seated herself in the wheelchair again, with Qiao Junlie pushing her onward, on the way back, Qiao Junlie couldn’t resist his thoughts and wanted to engage her more. After all, he hadn’t properly talked to her for months, longing to hear her voice again.

"Zi Ruoxi, do you prefer a Western-style wedding or a Chinese-style one? Also, where’s the best place to hold our wedding? Do you like it in a church or at an outdoor site?" Qiao Junlie asked with great interest, seeking her opinion on these matters. At that moment, he imagined how grand and magnificent their wedding would be. He was determined to make it unprecedented, envied by others, making her the happiest bride in the world!

Dizzy! This Devil really is dreaming, huh!

"Anything works." Zi Ruoxi responded blandly. Just after saying this, she suddenly thought of something else, pausing for a moment, then added, "I’m afraid when the time comes, my body will have just recovered and might not be able to take too much. You decide, try to keep it simple if possible!"

"Hmm. I know, don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything properly." Qiao Junlie said considerately from behind, then continued smoothly, "I’ll make sure you become the happiest bride in the world."

"Haha!" Zi Ruoxi only laughed, her laughter unfathomable.

Qiao Junlie, pushing from behind, didn’t sense anything amiss about her, nor did he ponder too deeply.

A while later.

"Zi Ruoxi, where should we go for our honeymoon? Where do you like to travel?" Qiao Junlie asked once again.

Sweat! Headache! Why is he stuck on this issue?

"Anywhere! Anywhere is fine, as long as you’re with me!" Zi Ruoxi blurted out, just after speaking, a faint oddness arose in her heart. The words were meant to deceive him, yet seemed to strike something within herself. Ah, forget it, no use thinking about something pointless. Zi Ruoxi rested one hand on her forehead, slightly leaning against the armrest.
