Hearing Su Yanyan's question, Long Xun thought for a while. He didn't know how to explain it to her in a much simpler way so that she could understand it in a better form.

"Umm.... marriage is a close connection between two people who like each other," he explained in the best way that he could say.

"So, do you like me?" Su Yanyan asked straightforwardly.

"Like, " Long Xun nodded within a?second.

"Then will you play games with me after getting married?" she asked.

This time, Long Xun blushed. His cheeks heated up quickly when she reminded of his deeds. His eyes glanced at Housekeeper Qin who was standing next to them, looking confused and he coughed embarrassedly.

"You can only play that game with me and no one else. " he asserted in a possessive manner that he, himself failed to notice.

"Stingy beauty Xunxun!" Su Yanyan stuck her tongue out.

Long Xun chuckled pinching her cheeks lightly. "So, Miss Su Yanyan will you marry me?" he asked formally going down on his knees.

Su Yanyan looked at him quietly for a minute. She was impressed by his careful gestures. If she said that her heartbeat didn't speed up because of Long Xun's gesture, then she would be lying. Which girl wouldn't feel shy when a guy goes down on his knees to propose to her?

She felt the same too. She knew that her face was heating up and a pinkish blush was creeping on her cheeks, which she tried very hard to control. Inhaling lightly, she placed her hands in his and she smiled. "Okay!"

Long Xun smiled back. Holding her hand, he took her to the living room and made her sit on the couch. Housekeeper Qin followed behind them with the marriage doc.u.ments in his hand and gave it into Long Xun's hand when he asked for it.

Taking the papers in his hands, Long Xun glanced through it. With a pen in his hands, he signed on every spot that was needed to be signed under her cautious gaze. After signing the papers, he took a deep breath. "Phew! It's done, " he smiled passing the papers into Su Yanyan's hands.

Su Yanyan took the papers in her hand and she looked at them silently. The pen was on the table waiting for her to take it into her hands and sign on the papers but she didn't move. She kept looking onto the papers blankly without moving.

Instantly, Housekeeper Qin was worried. What is she doing? Why is she not signing the papers? Is she going to rebel, he thought. He squinted his eyes at her from where Long Xun couldn't see him. He wanted to remind her to move, to sign the papers but she wasn't looking at him.

Her eyes were glued to papers and she sat still like a statue that even Long Xun was confused. He looked at her closely for a moment and then he asked, "Su Yan, is everything alright? Why are you not signing the— "

"Oh! Wait, I understand...." Long Xun chuckled and he quickly got up on his feet and he rushed upstairs towards his room.

Housekeeper Qin glanced at Long Xun who was running towards his room with confusion. What did Long Xun understand that he could understand?

Glancing at her, he asked, " Why aren't you signing the papers?"

"Shut up!" Su Yanyan rolled her eyes at him with disdain.

Housekeeper Qin: "...."

But, before Housekeeper Qin could argue with her any more, Long Xun rushed back into the hall with the same speed that he had left. "Here, use this...." he said placing a fingerprint ink pad on the table.

That's when Housekeeper Qin understood what Long Xun meant. How could Su Yanyan sign the papers? For Long Xun, Su Yanyan was just a girl who had problems in her brain. He sighed silently and removed all of his worries, for now.

After placing the ink pad on the table, Long Xun patiently instructed Su Yanyan on how to use it and sign the papers. "Do you understand?" he asked after explaining her everything.

Su Yanyan nodded.

"Good girl!" Long Xun praised her while rubbing her head which he always loved to do.

Closing her eyes Su Yanyan recalled everything she was doing this for. She remembered him who was still in the captive of that old hag. She recalled his lovely smile, he gave her every time he saw her. She remembered his cries, his wails when she was forced to leave him all alone with those vultures.

He was her strength and she knew that she had to do this. Taking a deep breath, Su Yanyan pressed her thumb on the ink pad and then on every place that required her signature. Once the papers were signed, Long Xun took them and made sure that everything was done properly.

"Now, we are married, Su Yanyan!" he said joyfully. Taking her hands in his, he kissed them both. "From today onwards, you are my wife and I am your husband. I promise you that I will always protect you from every harm. I will never let anything happen to you. You will be my priority and I will always think about you before making any decision." he promised her not caring if she understood him or not.

"I know our relationship is a little special but I promise you that I will respect you and your every decision. And if one day, you want to leave me then I'll let you go," he promised her sincerely.

"I know that you don't love me now, but we can work on that." he joked.

Su Yanyan: "...."

Hearing his vague words, she was in a daze. If you hear his words, you won't feel anything different but if you listen to his every word very closely, then you can understand that every word of his held a different meaning. He spoke to her as if he knew her truth.

He wasn't talking to her as if she didn't understand anything, he spoke to her as if he knew it all.

Did he?

Su Yanyan was completely confused. If he knew about her, then why is he doing all of this? And if he doesn't know anything, then what is the meaning of his vague words? Is she thinking too much?
