Chapter 1012: Chapter 306: Wei Zhe and Miss Xiangxiang (Part 1)
"Yes, it’s possible." Xiangxiang said.
Wei Zhe looked up awkwardly.
"Yes, it’s possible." Xiangxiang said again with a smile.
Wei Zhe: "!!!"
Is it possible! Is it really possible!? Are you willing to give up the pursuit of becoming a Courtesan for me? Do you really think this way? Ah, the efforts I’ve made for such a long time are finally being rewarded, and I never thought I, Wei Zhe, could finally receive Xiangxiang’s favor!
Happiness arrived so abruptly, like a tornado destroying a parking lot, and Wei Zhe was immediately engulfed in immense joy.
For a moment, his teeth were tingling, his back was sweating, and even the soles of his feet felt like they were treading on the finest wool carpet, a delight resonating from within.
This...
This is simply a man’s rebirth!
Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Whether it’s being a Courtesan or Xiangxiang, I ultimately just want others to recognize me. I just want to avoid when men talk about me behind my back, it’s not limited to the surface and there’s even a tiny bit of respect in their hearts."
"So if you’re willing to accept me, to acknowledge my identity as Xiangxiang, then why pursue the identity of a Courtesan? You know that becoming a Courtesan is a very difficult path, and there are many things that cannot be said directly. To suddenly discard such worries is truly liberating."
"After all, even adults get tired."
Xiangxiang finished speaking.
Her eyes involuntarily looked at Wei Zhe, who was left speechless.
A man of twenty-eight or twenty-nine was now in tears.
Holding Xiangxiang’s hands tightly, his gentlemanly demeanor had turned into disarray, yet it was filled with an intense happiness, like a potent poison.
So sudden.
So sudden indeed.
Wiping away tears, Wei Zhe sniffled and said earnestly, "Xiangxiang, I share this feeling, and I know how painful it is to be pushed to move forward, like everyone else is moving forward, and if you don’t, it feels like you’re useless."
"But now you’re willing to move forward with me, even if there’s a cliff ahead, so what?"
"Then wait for me here, I will immediately negotiate with the shop to redeem you from there. Trust me, I will dedicate myself wholly to you; you are the guiding light of my life, thank you for choosing to be with me!"
Immensely moved, tears of gratitude flowed.
Wei Zhe felt suddenly ten thousand years younger, his mind dizzy with the thought that once he marries Xiangxiang, he would have someone to warm his bed every night, and dealing with trouble at the merchants’ guild would be much easier with someone to confide in without hesitation!
Finally, he could unrestrainedly curse those foolish heads at the merchants’ guild!
After speaking, Wei Zhe immediately prepared to leave and redeem Xiangxiang.
But at that moment, Xiangxiang didn’t let go of his hand, her gaze was calm and gentle as she said, "No need, let me handle the redemption myself."
"I’ve saved up quite a bit of gold and silver over the years. For a woman like me, no amount of gold and silver is more than a seemingly strong facade. Please leave this opportunity to me."
"By redeeming myself, I might feel more like an adult and wouldn’t lose much face going forward."
Wei Zhe halted his steps, paused, then nodded significantly, "Alright, I completely respect your idea and your decision. I’ll go with you then!"
She really is an impressive woman, someone you couldn’t trade even for three pounds of pork!
Xiangxiang burst out laughing, though she didn’t immediately leave, instead, she said, "No need to rush, I actually have one last small concern; if Wei Zhe could resolve it, I’d be willing to stay with you forever!"
"A concern? What is it? I’ll help you resolve it immediately!" Wei Zhe replied decisively.
"It’s simple, it’s regarding your third brother, Yuchi, Yuchi Saburo," Xiangxiang said.
"Saburo?" Wei Zhe was puzzled.
"Me?" Yuchi was also puzzled.
It was so puzzling, what did this have to do with his third brother? This was his own relationship, and he understood his brother’s character well; Yuchi would only be supportive and wouldn’t entertain any strange thoughts.
So what’s going on?
"I want Saburo to bless the two of us." Xiangxiang said.
"You want Saburo to bless us?" Wei Zhe didn’t know how to respond; he wasn’t sure what Xiangxiang meant by blessing.
Yuchi scratched his chin: Has my identity as a Shaman been revealed?
"It’s actually very simple. I am ultimately just Xiangxiang, my status clearly doesn’t match yours, so without Saburo’s support, even though I want to be with you, I’d still worry about you in such situations."
