Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 463 - 237: Bound in Eternal Love (Part 2)
He wrote each stroke with great care, his elegant and graceful handwriting clearly presenting itself on the bright red ribbon, clearly reflecting in Sang Wan’s eyes. With a red background and black characters, each was as clear as it could possibly be, projecting straight into the depths of Sang Wan’s heart through her eyes!
Sang Wan’s heart trembled suddenly, feeling a tide of emotion welling up, slowly spreading in her eyes, blurring the handwriting before her.
At this moment, her heart felt heavy, her mind blank. He had said he wanted to grow old with her, to be forever united in heart. It was at this moment that she truly knew, this man genuinely held her in his heart!
"Done!" Shi Fengju finally let out a sigh of relief as he put down the pen, examining the characters he had written, then holding her hand with a smile, he asked, "Miss Wan, do you think I wrote well?"
He was only asking if his writing was good, as he felt naturally that in her heart, she was in complete agreement with him.
"Yes." Sang Wan nodded stiffly, mechanically. She knew she should have smiled a little shyly when saying "good," but her cheeks were so stiff they wouldn’t obey her, instead her voice carried a heavy nasal tone.
Shi Fengju noticed, facing her he gently took her hand and softly said, "Miss Wan, in this life, I only wish to grow old with you, forever united in heart. Is your heart in agreement with me?"
Sang Wan nodded, her voice husky as she softly said, "You are my husband..."
Shi Fengju laughed, his smile as refreshing as an early spring breeze sweeping across the hillsides, blossoming flowers wherever it went, "Miss Wan, come here, come!"
Shi Fengju laughed as he stuffed the ribbon into Sang Wan’s hand, pulling her to stand beside a big tree.
"I—" Sang Wan hesitated, feeling inexplicably nervous, as if success or failure could indeed determine her future with him.
"Miss Wan, come quick, I believe you can surely do it." Shi Fengju said enthusiastically, looking up and squinting at the fluttering red ribbons in the tree.
"Then, I’ll try." Sang Wan stepped back, gazing upward, and threw her whole strength upwards. Both of their eyes followed the red ribbon as it soared, even Shi Fengju couldn’t help but feel a bit tense, tightening his grip on her hand.
"Oh no!" Sang Wan exclaimed in disappointment, seeing that the red ribbon didn’t even touch the branches, her force was too weak and she backed up a bit too far, and the ribbon started to fall before even reaching the branches.
Though it fell slowly, it was still falling, doomed not to even graze a leaf.
Sang Wan was secretly disappointed, and also felt a bit guilty as she glanced at Shi Fengju. She really didn’t do it on purpose, perhaps her thoughts weren’t pure, and even God couldn’t stand it. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Miss Wan, look!" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the red ribbon was flung forward, precisely catching on a branch, stable and swaying in the wind. Shi Fengju, delighted, hurriedly called to Sang Wan.
Sang Wan looked up hastily, overjoyed for a moment, laughing as she pulled on Shi Fengju’s arm, "It’s hung up, it’s hung up there! Fengju!"
"I knew you could do it! This is fate, Miss Wan!" Shi Fengju exclaimed joyfully, lifting her up and spinning her around twice.
Sang Wan giggled, her arms wrapped around his neck.
At this moment, her heart was truly filled with incomparable joy, a subtle hope deep in her heart. If life could be like this forever, then she would desire nothing more!
"Miss Wan!" Shi Fengju rarely saw her smile so brightly and radiantly, such a genuine, unguarded smile was even more dazzling than the brilliant sunlight above, having seen her restrained and gentle smiles, this kind of smile made him even fonder.
He cradled her face, leaning down to kiss her.
"Young master, young mistress—" Liu Ya’s voice arrived before she did, calling out before abruptly stopping, panicked she quickly turned away, heart racing.
Liu Ya bit her lip with a gloomy face, it seems she was "out of touch" again! The young master was already quite displeased with her, she really didn’t want to annoy him further! But it really wasn’t her fault, how could she know that the young master didn’t distinguish between meat and vegetables, in such a pure Buddhist place, weren’t they tired of usual days!
Though Liu Ya turned away, it was merely a futile attempt to cover up; Sang Wan, embarrassed, had already pushed Shi Fengju away swiftly. Shi Fengju, his romantic feelings utterly disrupted, furrowed his brows, mentally cursing Liu Ya as "stupid girl, dead girl" countless times.
"What’s the matter, Liu Ya?" Sang Wan asked.
"This slave is here to—"
"You girl, how can you backtalk to your master? Turn around this instant!" Shi Fengju, seeing her still talking to them with her back turned, couldn’t help feeling both amused and irritated.
"Yes, young master!" Liu Ya quickly turned around, smiling apologetically: "The vegetarian banquet is ready, I’ve come to invite the young master and young mistress over!"
"Almost forgot about that, Miss Wan you must be hungry too? Let’s go!" Shi Fengju smiled, and the three of them headed towards the main hall.
Masters Lingjing and Lingqing were waiting at the entrance of the hall, exchanged a few words upon meeting, Shi Fengju thanked them, and the masters excused themselves, directing the monks to lead them to the dining room.
The room was set with a large table with seventeen or eighteen dishes, served in ordinary white bowls and plates, carefully arranged into various shapes, looking almost indistinguishable from meat dishes like chicken, duck, fish, etc., yet made entirely from gluten, tofu, starch, tofu skin, yam, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, mountain mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, lotus seeds, chestnuts, lilies, and various vegetables.
