Chapter 1522: Chapter 1523: You better think carefully about how to pass my husband’s test.
Gong Juese didn’t stay too long, and then left, leaving An Jing and Ye Zhi glaring at Gong Juechen.
Gong Juechen pitifully said, "It really was my master who made me hide the fact that I know martial arts... My master told me to do this, and I can’t just not follow, right? After all, it’s my master who raised me..."
Then, Gong Juechen sidled up to Ye Zhi with a cheeky grin, "Zhizhi, if it weren’t for the fact that something happened to you today, I would have kept hiding the fact that I know martial arts. Aren’t I good to you?"
In a rare moment, Ye Zhi nodded, "Hmm, good."
Yet Gong Juechen only felt his head tingle.
Sure enough, Ye Zhi continued, "It’s really too good. Before, you always hid behind me like a coward, letting me protect you. Hmm, it’s too good indeed."
Gong Juechen whispered to defend himself, "I’m more used to others protecting me..."
"You’re so good at martial arts, do you have the nerve to let me protect you?!" Ye Zhi glared at him angrily. If it weren’t for him saving her today, she wouldn’t have known how skilled he was in martial arts.
"Didn’t I say it already, I’m used to it..." Gong Juechen was filled with grievance and pitifully whispered.
Ye Zhi: "..."
"Zhizhi," Gong Juechen used his good hand to timidly tug at Ye Zhi’s sleeve, "Considering I saved you, could you not hold this against me? Look, Se Se was also fooled by me, and she didn’t hold it against me at all."
"Am I your sister?" Ye Zhi immediately questioned.
Gong Juechen instantly replied, "Of course you’re not my sister, you’re my future wife!"
Ye Zhi suddenly fell silent.
An Jing saw that Gong Juechen wouldn’t even tell Ye Zhi, his beloved, the truth and figured he would continue to hide it. So, she didn’t waste her breath asking and didn’t stay any longer, got up, and said, "I’ve already checked on you, you’re not going to die, so I’ll be going back first."
Gong Juechen immediately grieved, "Jingjing, you haven’t even said a single good word for me..."
An Jing didn’t even turn her head and said, "I don’t know what good words to say for you, though you should think carefully about how to deal with my husband."
Gong Juechen thought to himself: How else to deal with it? Obviously, I’ll never say anything until the end.
Once An Jing left, Gong Juechen coaxed Ye Zhi again, saying he truly didn’t mean to deceive her, and even said that he had been fooling Gong Juese since childhood, further claiming it was really his master who made him hide his martial arts skills.
"Then why did your master make you hide it?" Ye Zhi wasn’t like Gong Juese, she wouldn’t just let something go easily.
Gong Juechen’s immediate answer was a lie, "I don’t know either, he told me to hide it, so I obediently hid it."
"Gong Juechen!"
"Zhizhi..." Gong Juechen was especially aggrieved, "Why do you keep holding onto this? Haven’t you ever deceived me about anything?"
Ye Zhi was taken aback.
Gong Juechen continued, "How about this, you promise to marry me, and then I’ll tell you why?"
Ye Zhi immediately agreed, "Alright!"
Gong Juechen was instantly stunned. Then ecstatic, he said, "Zhizhi, you really agreed to marry me?"
Ye Zhi looked at his wounded right hand, then resolutely nodded again, "Hmm, we will marry."
Whether this person truly likes her face or her as a person, his goodness to her is undeniable, having saved her time and time again is also undeniable, and now, for her, he even revealed his hidden martial arts skills, with his hand almost being wounded into four pieces by a sword. Even if marrying him might cause future pain, she would never regret agreeing to marry him now.
