Heavenly Star Chapter 140: You’ll Wait and See!

Chapter 140: You’ll Wait and See!

“The very magnificent young lady Zhuge daughter of the General, would run around to other people’s houses whether the matter is important or not. It seems inappropriate, right?” Ye Wuchen blurted out upon seeing her.

“Hee hee. You are my future husband, it wouldn’t matter at all. As Zhuge Xiaoyu, I really don't care what other people say. Oh right, you haven’t answered my question yesterday. When will you marry me?” Zhuge Xiaoyu walked to him, behaving like an innocent, sincere, and adorable child, looking at her from another angle… She seemed very fake.

“To be frank, I will not marry you. If you still continue to pester endlessly, perhaps it will even be impossible for us to be friends.” Ye Wuchen, with a smiling face, spoke merciless words that caused Zhuge Xiaoyu to be distracted.

“You… Why do you say that? You had definitely agreed before… You even touched my body yesterday. Why… Why will you not marry me?!” with both arms at her waist, Zhuge Xiaoyu displayed an unforgiving att.i.tude.

Ye Wuchen felt dizzy… Did he promise that? Maybe in her dreams. Touched her body? His arm was simply forced to rub against her body. Come to think of it, it was she who touched him in the first place.

“Humph! I tell you, as Zhuge Xiaoyu, I already set my mind on you. Aside from you, I will not marry anybody else, so you must marry me!” pointing at him, Zhuge Xiaoyu yelled loudly. The people at the front yard of the Ye residence could hear her very clearly, some guards and servants were perspiring profusely upon hearing her statement. One by one, they secretly sighed as they thought of how General Zhuge, who was bold and powerful, could have raised such a daughter.

Ye Wuchen said grudgingly, “Alright… Then, I ask you why do you want to marry me? You and I only met few times, so it will be bad to look like a girl who would do anything very casually.”

“You are casual! I am not some very casual girl, or else… I wouldn’t have rejected those loathsome men that my daddy had introduced to me before.”

She was still not being casual? She was very casual… Even her whole family was very casual.

Zhuge Xiaoyu advanced a few more steps forward until her body was almost touching Ye Wuchen’s chest, then she said in a low voice, “It’s because a fancy you. Look, being a very handsome man like you, no matter who the girl is, she will be fond of looking at you. If I marry you, I will be able to look at your handsome face everyday… I will certainly have a great time.”

Zhuge Xiaoyu’s eyes flickered with gold rays, almost popping out stars. Ye Wuchen seemed to need to escape now with his face covered… He was actually being treated like a beautiful flower vase by this woman!

“In addition, you are very intelligent. You’ve made the entire Lin Family dumbstruck and unable to respond further after the debate, and your martial skills are very awesome, even Lin Xiao was not your match. You are also very strong in dealing with things, and you even dared to throw out Lin Yu of the Lin Family. You are very talented, that day during the compet.i.tion, your painting made me screech for a very long time. Your flute playing made me cry for a very long time… Humph, all these years, I’ve never cried like that before, not even the fake kind. During that time, I thought that a guy like you who was very awesome and perfect can only be a perfect match for me, Zhuge Xiaoyu. Even my daddy mentioned that Tian Long Nation will never have another outstanding person like you even after a hundred years. The man that I, Zhuge Xiaoyu, want to marry must be the most perfect man in the whole world.”

When Zhuge Xiaoyu was speaking, her body unconsciously stuck to Ye Wuchen’s chest. Infatuated with the smell of his body, she almost wanted to spread out her arms and hug him.

“My young lady Zhuge, I am not actually as good as you have described. You are exaggerating.” Ye Wuchen said plainly, his body motionless and a little stiff.

“I’m not! You must be better than what I know. My daddy also said that you have so many things hidden inside you that n.o.body knows. So, I must marry you, only you can be my perfect match.”

Ye Wuchen raised his brows, shook his head as he said, “You are right, I am indeed suitable for you. I am not only proficient in both literary and martial skills, but considering my family background, status, reputation, and even my appearance… No one will ever find another man like me who can be a perfect match for all the women in the entire Tian Long City. I dare to ask you, Lady Zhuge, do you think you are suitable for me?”

“……”

Zhuge Xiaoyu was thinking over his question for quite a long while, then she replied anxiously, “I… of course I am suitable for you. If the big sister from the Hua Family is suitable for you, of course I am too.”

“Are you as beautiful as her?”

“I… although I am not as beautiful as her, but I…”

“How about you att.i.tude, are you as gentle and soft as her?”

“Who said I am not? I will, I will definitely be more gentle than her-”

Ye Wuchen shook his head, interrupting her words, “Nevermind. A woman who would run around the house of a man, yelling and crying to marry him, no matter how hard you tried, you will never be as gentle and soft. I have already heard about the crafty and unruly name of yours, Zhuge Xiaoyu; your reputation is very well-known.”

“I…”

“Can you cook? My Xiao RouRou can cook food even more delicious than the imperial kitchen of the palace, even if she is not an expert in those dishes.”

“……”

“Can you do feminine arts?”

“Can you paint?”

“Can you play the flute? Ehem. It’s alright, if you are not; it doesn’t matter. Can you compose poems?”

“Can you do any martial arts or enchantments?”

“Can you do the laundry, or housekeeping?”

“Can you serve a man?”

…………………

Zhuge Xiaoyu was dumbstruck by these questions, while blinking her big vivid eyes. She could not stop blinking, yet her mouth was unable to utter the word “can”.

“Then, can you tell me what you know? Or what field you are most familiar with? I’ll answer that for you. You are unruly, make trouble, exhibit bad temper, and can only run around without keeping to your role as a fine young lady. Throughout the entire Tian Long City, who doesn’t know that General Zhuge has raised a very crafty and unruly headstrong daughter? Like this, what reason should I marry you? How are you suitable for me?” Ye Wuchen said expressionless while he was calmly looking at her.

“If right now there is a man who was definitely not your match, asking you to marry him over and over again, will you agree or decline? Will you be happy or loathsome? Rest a.s.sured, although Lady Zhuge doesn’t have any a.s.sets, to marry you is like buying a flower vase that one just displays it in their house. You rely only on your father’s tremendous reputation and your family background to be proud and arrogant. If you keep eyeing the roof, you will end up rejecting and loathing it. I, Ye Wuchen, who has a family background more celebrated than yours, am more proud and arrogant than you, but the difference is, I have a.s.sets that no one could compare to, while you, are definitely not my type.”

More and more heartless words were like a very heavy hammer blow that completely shattered Zhuge Xiaoyu. Her high spirits from before had completely disappeared, and she just stupidly stood there, her eye sockets beginning to turn red, she seemed like she was incredibly stupefied.

“H-how could you talk about me like this…” After a very long while, she spoke, her tone was almost sobbing. Yes. She was proud and arrogant. Her eyes looked up higher than the roof, and she never gave importance to other men… But she was being frankly and mercilessly rejected as well as criticized by the man who had moved her heart, the man she had intended to marry… Today, she realized what it felt like to have heartache like needles p.r.i.c.king. Even her father had never even used such tone on her when he was angered.

Ye Wuchen sighed and gradually lowered his voice, “What I have said is the truth. Lady Zhuge, you should go home now, then try to carefully think about my words at home. There will always be someone who is more suitable for you. You are not fit for me. As Ye Wuchen, my woman should be the most excellent woman, and you are not even close. If there comes a day when you have reached the achievements similar to your father, then that’s the time that I will think it over.”

Drip.

Finally, a tear slipped out from Zhuge Xiaoyu’s eye, quietly dropping to the floor, producing a soft splas.h.i.+ng sound. She opened her mouth, yet no sound came out. She turned around and silently walked away. Her shoulders slightly trembled and her footsteps were as heavy as stones. At this moment, she was like a completely different person.

Finally, her figure disappeared from the gates of the Ye residence. w.a.n.g Wenshu, who was eavesdropping all along, came out to stand beside Ye Wuchen. “Chen-er, weren’t you too harsh to her… For you to talk like this... If I were Xiaoyu’s mother, I might slap your face for giving her such merciless shock.”

Ye Wuchen shook his head, without choice he smiled and said, “Based on her character, if I didn’t speak to her like that, she would not give up.”

Bang!!

The main gate that had just been closed by the guards moments ago was violently kicked open. Zhuge Xiaoyu returned, still with tear stains on her face, yet she was not distracted anymore. Rather, she had once again brought up her natural stubborn, crafty, and unruly manner. With her finger pointing at Ye Wuchen, her husky voice yelled, “Ye Wuchen, one day, I will surely surpa.s.s my father’s achievements by a hundred, even a thousand times. That time, you will beg me to marry you. You wait and see!!!!!”

After yelling out loud, she turned to exert all her efforts to run away, the sound of her footsteps quickly faded from their ears.

Ye Wuchen and w.a.n.g Wenshu were dumbfounded. That loud yell contained a delicate woman’s rock-like toughness and dedication. Ye Wuchen’s eyes slightly flickered. This young woman’s dedication had finally left a profound image in Ye Wuchen’s heart. From this moment on, she had brought a huge change to Ye Wuchen’s impression of her. Even if she would no longer reappear in his world in the future, he will surely be reminded of her from time to time as a young woman who voiced her thoughts in a yell.

“En… I will wait.” Unconsciously, the corner of his mouth softly blurted out these words. w.a.n.g Wenshu looked at him oddly, and after few moments of silence, she pulled at Ye Wuchen’s arms. “Chen-er, don’t think about it too much. You are leaving tomorrow, let’s go prepare your things and see if you need anything more.”

At this time, Tong Xin and Ning Xue are playing with the strange sword. Ning Xue constantly touched the ice blue, ice-cold sword blade, but quickly withdrew upon contact, enjoying that short moment of ice-coldness. This was actually the Xue Ji Sword that Ye Wuchen had Tong Xin steal from the Treasure Storehouse.
