CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 297: I HAVE SIDE EFFECTS_3

Imagine... I mean, just imagine, if you really can’t have children in the future, we can adopt one. Or perhaps you don’t like children, we don’t have to raise any, as long as you’re by my side.

Do you have any other concerns besides these?"

Yu Xiaolian explained her side effects again, "If you marry me, there could be many side effects.

First, I probably can’t have children.

Second, I might not age. When you’re old and gray, I’ll still look like a teenage girl.

Third, if my identity is discovered by the Emperor, they might capture me to be a Blood Slave in the palace, and then you’d have no wife.

If you oppose the Emperor for my sake, your life could be over, and you might also implicate your family.

Fourth, if I can’t awaken the Longevity Gu, I can’t change my eye color, but wearing contact lenses for a long time hurts my eyes. In a few years, I might choose to live a secluded life.

And you’re the future champion of the imperial exams, the Emperor’s favorite; you cannot live a secluded life.

Fifth, I have this mental cleanliness, I can’t share a husband with other women. My husband is mine alone, from hair to heel, all mine.

Hmm... That’s all for now, I’ll add more if I remember anything.

These are potential future issues to face and solve. If you can overcome them, we may continue.

No need to rush your answer, you can think about it for three days and nights, then reply to me."

Su Jingchen chuckled, "No need for three days and nights, I can tell you now, I can.

I can do it.

I can protect you and myself.

Trust me!"

Su Jingchen’s expression was extremely serious.

But Yu Xiaolian couldn’t feel secure from it.

It’s not that Su Jingchen isn’t trustworthy, but he’s too young, inexperienced in the wickedness of society, unaware of the powerful people’s obsession with the Longevity Gu.

This is a teenager in the throes of first love, thought Yu, the old woman.

Sigh, but the way Su Jingchen is so confident right now is really manly.

"You don’t trust me?" Seeing Yu Xiaolian silent, Su Jingchen asked anxiously.

Yu Xiaolian wanted to respond, how could she trust him?

But those sharp and hurtful words weren’t for her to use against Su Jingchen.

"I trust you!" Yu Xiaolian said against her heart.

If not, I can take you and run away with the space.

Su Jingchen was immediately as happy as if he had hit the jackpot.

Ah... that smile is even more deadly.

Ah, ah... This old lady’s heart can’t take it.

If he’s destined to be my future husband, I should exercise my rights early.

"Come here!"

"Hmm?" Though puzzled, Su Jingchen obediently walked to Yu Xiaolian.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaolian planted a kiss on Su Jingchen’s cheek.

Su Jingchen was petrified on the spot.

What just happened?

Yu Xiaolian was very satisfied with Su Jingchen’s reaction.

Humph, choosing a husband means choosing this kind of emotionally naive guy, after all, nurturing him yourself is more loving.

Su Jingchen barely felt the wet sensation on his cheek, before he could savor it, Yu Xiaolian withdrew.

Leaving only a light, fresh scent lingering around his nose.

Thump... thump...

Su Jingchen felt his heart beating wildly.

She...

She kissed him!

How could she be so bold?

After a long while, seeing Su Jingchen still staring at her dazedly, Yu Xiaolian decided to tease him.

Yu Xiaolian extended two slender fingers to lift Su Jingchen’s chin, playfully saying, "From now on, you’re mine. If I tell you to go east, you can’t go west. If I say beat the dog, you can’t curse the chicken."

Su Jingchen burst out laughing, brushed away Yu Xiaolian’s teasing fingers, and went over to pinch her cheeks. Yu Xiaolian couldn’t let Su Jingchen squash her so easily; the two of them immediately started playing together.

For a moment, the room was filled with their laughter and playful banter.

Sunlight filtered through the front hall window, casting golden specks everywhere.

In this autumn, they were brave and warm.

As they were bantering, suddenly Su Jingchen stopped.

He listened carefully, confirmed someone was coming, and then looked at Yu Xiaolian, whispering, "Someone’s coming!"

Yu Xiaolian then remembered reminding Aunt Gao to come over for cleaning this morning.

Quickly she ran to the window, peeked outside to see Aunt Gao and her son chatting and laughing as they approached, and hurriedly turned back to Su Jingchen, saying, "You should hide now!"

After all, their private meeting in an empty house wasn’t good for a girl’s reputation.

Su Jingchen nodded, started to find a hiding spot, but Yu Xiaolian took his hand, and he suddenly found himself in a strange, enclosed space without people.
