Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 304 Rejection of Marriage (1)

"Okay," Ning Hua looked at Lu Xiu, her eyes full of sparkling smiles. She turned around and took out a diamond ring from the small box. "Look what I bought? I saw someone proposing on the street with this kind of ring. I heard that married men and women must wear diamond rings, so I bought it for myself. How about it? Does it look good? Can you help me put it on?"

Lu Xiu looked at the diamond ring, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression gradually became complicated: "Are you proposing to me, Ning Hua?"

Ning Hua still had a smile on his face: "You can say that, Commander, are you willing to marry me?"

Lu Xiu just looked at Ning Hua and didn't respond. The silence lasted too long, and the smile on Ning Hua's face gradually froze: "What's wrong, don't you want to?"

Lu Xiu pulled Ning Hua's shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes: "Ning Hua, isn't it good for us to be like this now? Marriage is just a formality. Love has nothing to do with marriage. I can give you promises, love, and everything you want, but... except marriage.

Ning Hua felt a little confused. She stared at Lu Xiu blankly: "So, you are... rejecting me?"

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, but still said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Ning Hua couldn't tell what he felt at the moment, he just murmured, "So, you said you loved me, but you were lying to me?"

Lu Xiu hurriedly explained: "No, I never lied to you. I love you and will always love you. I can give you everything, but I can't marry you."

Ning Hua shook her head: "I don't understand, since you love me and can give me everything, why don't you marry me?"

"It's not that I don't want to, Ning Hua. We will always be together, but we don't have to get married. Isn't it good like this now? What are you worried about? Marriage will not bring any substantial changes except giving you the title of commander's wife in name only."

Ning Hua found it unbelievable. Was she not worthy of being the commander's wife? Thinking of this, Ning Hua slowly asked, "So, you think that I can only be the commander's woman, but not the commander's wife?"

Lu Xiu sighed: "Ning Hua, don't let your imagination run wild. Just listen to my explanation, okay?"

Ning Hua's face was still filled with sadness and numbness: "Okay, I'll listen to your explanation."

Lu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I'm not saying that you can't be the commander's wife. If there is a woman in the Leeds galaxy who will become my wife, Lu Xiu, that person must be you. It must be you. Besides, aren't the people in the mansion calling you 'Madam' now?"

Ning Hua quietly waited for Lu Xiu's next "but".

"But, Ning Hua, I will never get married."

A huge sense of surprise came over me: "You will never get married...what does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. I, Lu Xiu, will never get married in this life."

Ning Hua was immersed in the shock that Lu Xiu would never get married and was unable to recover.

Lu Xiu took Ning Hua's hand, placed it on his chest, and promised solemnly: "So, Ning Hua, you will be my lifelong lover, my only lover."

Ning Hua pulled back Lu Xiu's hand from his chest: "Sorry, I'm so shocked. I need to calm down. I'm leaving first."

After Ning Hua finished speaking, he turned around and opened the bedroom door.

Before Ning Hua's hand touched the door handle, Lu Xiu had already stepped to her side, pulled her arm and held her in his arms. After a moment, Lu Xiu whispered in Ning Hua's ear: "Ning Hua, promise me that you won't leave me because of this."
