I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 160 Dressing up
Hearing the voices outside, Fu Mingchi immediately got up and rushed to open the door.

Upon seeing Ye Wanshu in her bright wedding dress, Fu Mingchi's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"How do I look? Do I look good in this wedding dress?" Ye Wanshu smiled faintly at him.

“Wan’er looks good in anything.” Fu Mingchi nodded with admiration, but suddenly his brows furrowed slightly: “But why did Wan’er wear this wedding dress today?”

Ye Wanshu glanced at her father secretly, then replied with a smile, "I'd like Your Highness to take a good look at me and see if there's anything that's not quite right?"

Fearing he might notice something, Ye Wanshu pulled him outside, saying as they walked, "Ani has been wanting me to show Your Highness around Peach Blossom Garden. We'll be heading to Yuezhou in a few days, so today I'll accompany Your Highness for a good stroll in the garden."

“Ah Ni is a bit of a troublemaker, and you’re the only one who can always tolerate her,” Fu Mingchi said with a helpless smile.

“No, it’s you who have always been accommodating me.” Ye Wanshu suddenly stopped and looked at him with a sincere expression. “Fu Mingchi, I am very grateful to have met you, the Dowager Consort and A’ni. I feel that I am very lucky in this life.”

Thinking about his impending departure, Fu Mingchi felt a pang of sadness and silently pulled her along as they continued walking.

Reaching a clear spring, he spoke again: "Wan'er, will you always believe in me?"

"Of course," Ye Wanshu pursed her lips. "If I didn't trust you, why would I be willing to marry you?"

Fu Mingchi nodded with satisfaction: "Then promise me that you will stay in Yuezhou and live the life you like, without being bothered by anything."

Ye Wanshu looked at his slightly blinking eyes, but there was no unusual color in those deep eyes. He was so calm that it was as if he knew nothing about things outside of Yuezhou.

Thinking of Wei Wan, whom Chu Yin had mentioned last night, Ye Wanshu felt extremely uneasy. She slowly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Fu Mingchi, you haven't come to Taowu these days. Are you still angry about Ji Xuezheng's matter?"

Thinking about how the scholar had betrayed him time and time again, Fu Mingchi was naturally angry, but he did not want to cause any more unpleasantness between the scholar and Wan'er on the eve of parting.

Thinking of this, Fu Mingchi quickly shook his head: "No, Wan'er is already mine now, why should I get angry over a scholar?"

"is it?"

Ye Wanshu tugged at him and sat down by the stone platform, smiling faintly, "Then, what's the deal with that Young Master Wei Wan?"

Fu Mingchi's eyes turned cold as he stared at her silently, his voice turning icy: "I just want Wan'er to know that what he can do, I can do too, and what he can't do, I can still do."

Seeing that he suddenly became unhappy, Ye Wanshu's heart also became heavier.

Although she knew she shouldn't mention Ji Yunze again, she was about to leave and couldn't bear to see the two of them start fighting again.

Having witnessed countless court intrigues in Lin'an, she knew that in this world, those self-proclaimed learned scholars could be the most terrifying when they turned ruthless.

"Fu Mingchi, I know you might not believe some of what I'm about to say, but from the day I decided to marry you, all I wanted was to live a peaceful and stable life with you," Ye Wanshu said solemnly.

"I am too," Fu Mingchi said, pursing his lips as he glanced at her.

He thought that Wan'er was being so attentive to him today because she was worried that he would kill the scholar.

"Although I despise that scholar and wish I could tear him to pieces, I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Looking at Ye Wanshu, Fu Mingchi solemnly promised, "Wan'er, don't worry. As long as he stops going against me, I won't do anything to him."

Ye Wanshu felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, but thinking that everything he was going through was because of Ji Yunze, she suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

He probably still felt that he cared about Ji Yunze, which is why he said those words to please him.

That's good, at least it means he won't have to take me so seriously.

"Fu Mingchi, you once said that you would do everything in your power to get me anything I want. Do you still mean it?" Ye Wanshu asked earnestly, her eyes fixed on Fu Mingchi.

Fu Mingchi didn't know why she suddenly brought this up. He looked at her quietly for a moment before nodding, silently thinking to himself, "Wan'er, no matter how difficult it is to go to Lin'an this time, I will do everything I can to come back."

Seeing the barely concealed unease in his eyes, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but smile inwardly. He was still the same; he preferred to face everything alone, unwilling to share hardships with anyone, yet she was his wife.

If she hadn't learned about this guy's plan from Zhu Wencai, she probably would have remained completely in the dark.

"Fu Mingchi, I want this world, I want you to rightfully rule Lin'an, I want to see you reign supreme and end this wretched world."

Her tone was slow, completely lacking the playful spirit she used to have when she was joking with him, which made Fu Mingchi pause slightly.

He felt that his Wan'er had become unusually strange today, making her unpredictable.

He even began to suspect that the girl was afraid, afraid of marrying into the Yongning Prince's Mansion, and afraid that she couldn't compete with the Gu family.

"Wan'er, do you want to go back to Lin'an?" Fu Mingchi asked hesitantly.

Seeing his questioning gaze, Ye Wanshu felt a chill run down her spine.

My words and actions today must have seemed strange to him. Perhaps he thought I was afraid, afraid that I wouldn't dare to face the current predicament with him.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives. It's not so bad that he thinks this way, so that he won't find out that he wants to return to Lin'an and try to stop him in every way.

"Fu Mingchi, you don't really understand me. I'm extremely ambitious. I only married you because I value the power of the Yongning Prince's Mansion. Would you still want to marry someone like that?"

Ye Wanshu narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze suddenly becoming deep and unfathomable, making it even more difficult for Fu Mingchi to fathom her thoughts.

No matter what she said, Fu Mingchi never changed his original intention.

"Marry."

Fu Mingchi picked her up and walked towards Fu Yatang: "I have said that I am willing to be the sharpest blade in Wan'er's hands and will pave the way for Wan'er. You only need to step on me to reach the place you can reach, and the Yongning Prince's Mansion will be at your disposal from now on."

Ye Wanshu felt even warmer inside. She hugged his neck tightly and looked at the determination in his eyes. She knew that he had already made all the arrangements for her.

Having such a husband, I have no regrets in this life.

"Fu Mingchi, from today onwards you will be my husband. I will be your queen and stay in Yuezhou. But you must promise me that no matter what happens or where you are, you must think of me and return to my side safely," Ye Wanshu said softly.

Hearing this, Fu Mingchi's resolve strengthened: "Wan'er, rest assured, I will never abandon you."

Upon arriving at the bedroom, Ye Wanshu passionately kissed him. After their intense intimacy, Ye Wanshu led him to the dressing table. Looking at the numerous cosmetics on the table, she deliberately picked out the lipstick that Xingtao had prepared and handed it to Fu Mingchi.

"The thing every young lady longs for most is to have her husband do her hair and makeup for her every morning when she wakes up. I also wish that Your Highness could do my hair and makeup for me today. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to grant my wish?" Ye Wanshu looked at him expectantly.

"Wan'er really proves the saying that women are fickle today," Fu Mingchi said with a helpless smile, taking the lip rouge and gently applying it to her lips.

As Fu Mingchi watched the crimson color fill her lips, he was examining the bright hue with great interest when Ye Wanshu silently kissed the corner of his alluring lips.

A captivating fragrance wafted over, and after a long while, Ye Wanshu slowly released her bitten lips and playfully asked him, "Does it smell good?"

Fu Mingchi sniffed hard, seemingly noticing that the smell was a bit strange.

Just as I was hesitating to answer, I suddenly felt dizzy.

"Wan'er, you..."

Fu Mingchi staggered and shook his head before Ye Wanshu gently pushed him onto the bed.

"Fu Mingchi, you must remember what I'm telling you today."

After saying this, she glanced reluctantly at Fu Mingchi, who was struggling to get up, and resolutely left.
