Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife
chapter-1566

Bai Yaoyao smiled with a heartened look on her face. She knew how much the soldiers below them cared for her. It made her heart warm.

In the past, she only lived for love. Now, she really understood that love was not the only thing in life—there were also dreams, friendships, and camaraderie on the battlefield.

She would continue to work hard and live on for all these things.

She never knew that a day would come where she would be loved and cared for by so many people.

Seeing the smile on Bai Yaoyao’s face, Duan Yanhao felt a little entranced by it. He said in a hoarse voice, “Yaoyao.”

Seeing the waves rolling in Duan Yanhao’s eyes, Bai Yaoyao immediately pushed him away and said, “Erm, we’re in the army.”

Duan Yanhao chuckled. He knew Yaoyao understood what he was thinking. “I really want to marry you and hide you in my bedroom, so I can look at you, love you, and want you every day!”

“What are you saying!”

She never knew that Major Duan could say such mushy words.

“If you won’t let me say, then I won’t say it. I’ll just do it.”

Duan Yanhao looked serious, and his gaze made Bai Yaoyao’s heart ripple uncontrollably.

She stretched out her hands to hug him and said, “Yanhao, I don’t have parents too. We must stay together next time and support each other. I won’t lie to you, and you won’t hide anything from me. You must be honest with me too.”

“Okay. I will tell you anything you want to know. I won’t lie or hide anything from you.”

“I’m talking about next time.”

Duan Yanhao paused for a moment before he said excitedly, “Yaoyao, you mean, you’re willing… willing to marry me?” At that moment, Duan Yanhao’s hands held both of Bai Yaoyao’s hands as a look of exuberance glimmered in his eyes.

Bai Yaoyao buried her head in Duan Yanhao’s chest and denied as she said, “I didn’t say that.”

Duan Yanhao hugged Bai Yaoyao tightly, breathing in her scent. He said in an intoxicated voice, “Yaoyao, I will propose to you. I won’t leave out any step. I won’t give you anything less.”

“You know that I don’t care about all those things.”

Duan Yanhao said seriously, “But I care. I care, so I want to give you even better.”

His Yaoyao had been hurt emotionally before. He finally managed to heal and comfort her wounds, so he naturally had to protect her carefully and treasure her. He would not miss out anything that he should have to give to her. Even if they were things she did not need, he would still give them to her.

He wanted to make her feel happy.

Bai Yaoyao leaned into Duan Yanhao’s embrace and listened to the sound of his sturdy heartbeat. She breathed in his strong, musky scent and liked it as well.

This familiar scent kept her company for very long. It also helped her to walk out of the shadows of her past bit by bit.

As if she thought of something, she looked up and stared at Duan Yanhao’s face as she asked, “Why do I only need to care about your Grandfather and Sixth Aunt but not the rest? Does that mean they don’t treat you well? Or does it mean they harbor ill intentions towards you?”

“Those people only exist to serve their own interests and will resort to unscrupulous means to achieve their goals. My parents’ demise is definitely linked to them as well. It’s just that I haven’t gotten evidence of what they did.”

Bai Yaoyao’s heart shuddered. “They are all biological siblings. How can they bear to do such a thing?”

“What else can they not do for power?”

Bai Yaoyao’s heart shuddered. It was true. Some people could forsake their kinship for power.

“Duan Yanhao, if possible, let’s not interact with them. Although I’m not afraid of them, I don’t want them to affect your mood when you see them.”

Bai Yaoyao was not a weak person at all, she was just good at pretending to be weak. If those people dared to bully her, she would naturally fight back ruthlessly. She was only worried about Duan Yanhao.
