Chapter 494 - 494 Su Hua's Promise
494 Su Hua’s Promise
In the darkness, Sun Baoqian knew that Su Hua’s gaze was on her. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
His palm was very hot. He held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
She heard Su Hua say softly, “Qian, we have to be like this dead knot in the future and never be separated for the rest of our lives. No matter what setbacks and difficulties we face in the future, I promise you that I will be loyal to you for the rest of our lives. Can you trust me?”
Sun Baoqian was in a good mood. She wanted to agree immediately, but for some reason, she asked delicately, “What if you meet a very good woman in the future?”
Su Hua chuckled.!!
Sun Baoqian was a little nervous. She was really crazy. How could she ask this? But after asking, her anticipation was greater than her nervousness. How would he answer?
“A better woman has a better man. What does it have to do with me?”
Su Hua’s voice was gentle as he looked into Sun Baoqian’s eyes seriously so that she could know his thoughts.
“What if Qian meets a better man?”
Su Hua also asked. Not only were there better women in this world, but there were also better men.
Without hesitation, Sun Baoqian blurted out, “There’s no better man than you.”
Apart from him, there was no one else in her eyes.
Sun Baoqian lowered her eyes. She could not believe that she had said it.
She heard Su Hua chuckle. “I’m really lucky to have Qian’s approval.”
Sun Baoqian said softly, “It’s time to go back.”
She retracted her hand from Su Hua’s and walked out first. In this atmosphere, she felt that her face was burning. If she didn’t leave now, she was afraid that she would melt.
Su Hua followed behind Sun Baoqian with a faint smile. He walked to Sun Baoqian’s left and blocked the hurried pedestrians on the road for her.
The two of them returned to the cold water stall. Sun Baoshan smiled and shouted, “Sister, Second Brother, come and drink a bowl too. The weather is really too hot. In the capital, it’s much hotter than Goathorn Town. I just walked for a while and my body is already drenched in sweat. It’s really comfortable to drink some cold water and eat some cool fruits.”
Sun Baoqian sat down with Sun Baoshan. Su Hua sat on the other side of Sun Baoshan.
There was mung bean paste, hawthorn ice powder, and some watermelon cubes in the cold water bowl. It could be drizzled with a little honey. After cooling it, drinking a bowl would really reduce the heat in the hot summer.
After drinking, Sun Baoshan said that he was going back.
Su Hua sent them home again.
After returning to the Sun residence, Su Hua bade farewell and went home.
Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian returned to the courtyard together. Sun Baoqian asked softly, “When did you contact him? If Father and Mother find out, be careful not to get beaten up.”
Sun Baoshan smiled. “Hehe, I saw you reading letters every day. The envelopes are almost tearing apart. You didn’t reply to Second Brother, so I replied to him for you.”
“Anyway, you’re getting married soon. When the date is set, you won’t see each other often. Today is Chinese Valentine’s Day. What a memorable day.”
Sun Baoshan looked at his twin sister with envy in his eyes. His sister had married the person she liked. He didn’t know how to marry the person he liked.
As he thought about it, Sun Baoshan felt a little sad.
“I’m so tired. I’ll go back to my room to take a shower and sleep first.”
Sun Baoshan felt a little stifled and found an excuse to escape.
After returning to his room, Sun Baoshan began to organize the things he had bought and sorted them out one by one before taking a shower. His body was already better, but he could not practice martial arts. He sighed helplessly.
Su Hua becoming the top scorer made him feel pressured. Would Su Xiaolu like him?
Su Xiaoling was the future princess consort. Her eldest brother was also a High Scholar and had good martial arts skills. He could not even compare to any of her brothers. She must be blind to like him.
Sun Baoshan sighed and pounded the water in the bathtub. He sank into the warm water gloomily.
Madam Lian came and called out softly without seeing him, “Shan’er, Shan’er.”
When Sun Baoshan came out, Madam Lian was shocked. “Why are you so naughty?”
She gently berated Sun Baoshan for being too naughty, but she could not stop the smile on her face. Being naughty meant that he was healthy and energetic.
Sun Baoshan coughed in embarrassment. “Mother, I’m fine. Go and rest.”
Madam Lian was relieved after seeing him. She only instructed him to rest well and went out.
After Sun Baoshan packed up, he took a book and started reading. He thought that even if he couldn’t compare to Su Chong and Su Hua, he couldn’t be too lousy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to propose marriage.
It was already late at night.
Madam Lian and Sun Ziqian discussed when to visit the Su family.
Madam Lian said gently, “Master, I want to make a trip to the Su family the day after tomorrow. I’ll try my best to set the marriage this year. Qian is also getting married. While she’s still young, she can still nurture her relationship with Su Hua after she goes over.”
The longer they were together, the deeper their relationship would be.
Sun Ziqian pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t have any objections. I’m just a little emotional. Time passed too quickly. Qian is about to get married, and it’s time for Shan to get married.”
Speaking of this pair of children, Sun Ziqian often found it unbelievable.
The worry of raising them in the past was gone. That worry was only occasionally dreamed.
“Yeah, they’re all grown up”
Madam Lian also sighed and couldn’t help but smile. A thought suddenly surged in her heart. She hugged Sun Ziqian’s arm and shook it. “Master, what do you think of the youngest daughter of the Su family and our Shan’er?”
Sun Ziqian was stunned. “You mean Su Xiaolu?”
Madam Lian chuckled. “Who else could it be? Su Xiaoling is betrothed to the royal family. Isn’t Su Xiaolu the only one left?”
“Our Shan can also be considered a talented person. He’s not bad at anything. I just don’t know if Su Xiaolu has feelings for our Shan. Last year, I thought that Su Xiaolu was still too young, so I didn’t start. This year, Su Xiaolu is already 12 years old. I think I can test Madam Zhao’s attitude first. Master, what do you think?”
Madam Lian liked Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu very much. When she tested Madam Zhao’s attitude back then, she thought that it didn’t matter which of her children married into the Su family.
However, at that time, Sun Baoshan told her clearly that he liked Su Xiaolu. Later on, Su Hua nodded and agreed to the marriage. She was busy arranging the engagement for her daughter and the matter of testing Madam Zhao had been delayed.
Now, Madam Lian wanted to ask Madam Zhao if they could get closer by having another marriage.
“Xiaolu is not a bad child either. Do as you see fit. Don’t take it too seriously. Just ask like you’re joking. Even if we don’t get closer, our families are still very close. Su Hua will be half our son in the future.”
Sun Ziqian thought about it and did not stop her. It would be better if it worked. If not, it did not matter.
Madam Lian smiled and nodded. “Alright, don’t worry, Master. I know what to do.”
