His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

When Yao Ling saved a handsome man, she never thought that there would be a day she would propose a marriage to him. "Will you marry me?" One question and it sealed their fate together. She needed his protection and she was his savior. There was only one problem, that man lost his memory. This convenience marriage might just be a ticking bomb, one that could explode and burnt in a second when he gained his memory. Who exactly he is? What will happen when the man regains his memories? Whether it's a happily ever after or not, it depends on their love. Will love blossom? Only time will tell. Hope you will enjoy this ancient contractual marriage! :) _____________________________________ Taken from Chapter 17 : Yao Ling squinted her eyes at him again, "Do you also look at other females like that?" Yao Ying was dumbfounded. Where was the jealousy coming from? How come it changed from customers to females? He wanted to cry again. Woman… They could be a bit unreasonable. "Of course not, Wife. I'm only looking at you." "Really?" "Really." Yao Ying answered firmly. Before he dug himself another grave, Yao Ying decided to distract his little wife again. He used his final move. When a woman was being unreasonable, just shut her up and kissed her. He hugged Yao Ling closer and kissed her until she forgot everything. That was how he saved himself that night. _____________________________________ Join His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/xY29wHb Here is the link if you want to buy me a cup of coffee! http://ko-fi.com/missoline87 or you can directly donate to my PayPal: https://paypal.me/missoline87 Thank you very much! ^^ *hugs* I am thankful for your support.

Will You Marry Me? (Part 4)

After saying 'En' for the fourth time, Yao Ying finally realized something about Yao Ling's last question. What? Marry her? He quickly raised his head and looked at Yao Ling in amazement. Did she just propose to him? Maybe he heard it wrong or it was probably just a part of his imagination.

"What did you say?"

Yao Ling blushed at his sudden question. 'Yao Ying ge ge ~ I don't think I can repeat it again. It's too embarrassing!' However, she remembered the last thing her mother told her to do. She could only hide her face while mumbling her question once again, "Will you marry me?"

Yao Ying gaped at her, with both of his eyes widening at an alarming rate. She was really serious! He didn't mishear her! "Bu… but… this is still mourning period, besides, how can a girl propose marriage to a man? It's… unbecoming!"

Yao Ling looked down in embarrassment. In her mind, she scolded him. 'Do you think I don't know that? My face isn't that thick. Without mother's wish, I don't think I will try to marry you.' They lived in the era which marriage was considered and decided by the parents. Jiu Lan was forever her mother. Even if later she finds her real family, it doesn't matter. Jiu Lan will always be her beloved mother.

Finally, Yao Ling decided to tell Yao Ying the whole story. Yao Ying listened to her solemnly. It was a bizarre thing, but it would be the best thing for Yao Ling. He indeed agreed with Jiu Lan's careful thought. She was all alone and too young to embark on a journey all alone. With only one hairpin, it wouldn't be too easy to find her origin.

But, what about him? What if he suddenly regained his memories? What if someone was already waiting for him all this time? Yes, he liked Yao Ling – his sunshine, but was it love? He didn't know.

The same thought was fleeting in Yao Ling's mind. She's a girl, and in her mind, she wanted love too. She always thought she could slowly cultivate her feelings at Yao Ying, but she couldn't help but guarding her heart. That handsome man could make her heart beat faster, but she knew it was a gamble. What if he remembered his past? Was he a married man? Did someone wait for him all this time?

However, she could only live for the moment. The truth was that she was the one who needed him the most. He could just leave her, and he could survive on his own. He knew a little bit of martial arts, although he wasn't really good at it, he could protect himself. But what about her? She could follow him, but without any status, her reputation could be considered ruin. If she didn't want to find her family, she could just stay here for the rest of her life.

But she didn't want it. She wanted more. She was greedy.

Was it okay being selfish for once?

Making her mind, she looked at Yao Ying. "I know there's no love between us now, but at least, we have some feelings for each other. If… if…," she hesitantly said the next part, but finally managed to make a sound. She didn't really want to say it, but it's a must!

Her voice was getting stronger, "If one day you recover your memory, I won't hold you back. You can choose your next path – stay or leave. We don't know anything about your past and everything might not be what it seems to be, but rest assured… I'm a loyal person. If you remember and choose to stay with me, I won't abandon you – We will be together until death do us part. That's my vow to you. Just like I said before, if you choose to leave me, I won't blame you. I won't hold you on that."

For a 15-year-old maiden, Yao Ling was indeed a decisive person. She was loyal to the bone. For her, everything was black and white, and she wouldn't regret every choice that she had made. If she got married, she would definitely try to make this marriage work. Actually, she was expecting her husband-to-be to stay loyal and try to love her too.

But… Yao Ying is a special case. She didn't want to rob him of his past. From his tattered clothes when she found him in the forest, she knew that from the quality… he was indeed not an ordinary person. Wealth? She didn't care about that at all. Her wish was just a simple happy marriage.

Yao Ying looked at her, contemplating. Yao Ling kept her gaze at him, trying to hold in her nervousness and pretend to be calm. 'How will he answer me?' she thought to herself.

"Okay." Yao Ying finally answered her. "Let's get married!"

Yao Ling smiled widely, thanking him. "Thank you for fulfilling my mother's last wish!" She finally could sigh in relief. She was able to convince him!

He was blinded by her beautiful smile and his heart skipped a beat. Somehow seeing her carefree smile, it made him happy too.

"However, I have a simple request. I hope you can abide by it." Yao Ling bit her lower lip nervously.

"Tell me!"

"Six months. Give me six months. We… we… can't do that first…" She trailed off.

Yao Ying pondered for a while, before realizing what she meant. He laughed inside his mind. He lost his memories, but he wasn't stupid. He still knows all basic human needs. He wanted to laugh but looking at the nervous girl in front of him, he couldn't. The girl is really nervous!

However, he still teased her. "What do you mean?" He pretended to not understand what she meant, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

"That… that…" Yao Ling felt at a loss. She just couldn't say the words – it's so humiliating. Besides, she is a girl. How could she explain it or say the 'making love' words? She didn't know exactly what they did while making love, but she knew that it could have a baby as a result! She wasn't ready for that! That's why she asked for his leniency regarding this matter.

By throwing out that agreement, would Yao Ying misunderstand? Would he think that she was a bold or even a naughty girl?

"That… that… what?" Yao Ying just loved to tease the girl. He didn't think any bad things about her questions, because he knew that she is actually an innocent girl.

"Um… consummate the marriage." Yao Ling mumbled softly. She decided not to use the 'making love' words.

"What?" Yao Ying pretended he couldn't hear her.

Finally, Yao Ling couldn't stand it any longer. She felt anger surging into her body because she realized Yao Ying was actually teasing her! She could see it from the laughter in his eyes. She shouted loudly, "CONSUMMATE THE MARRIAGE."

Yao Ying looked at her dumbfoundedly, then burst into laughter. This was the first time she showed any emotions since her mother's death. He was very happy, and he hoped he could make her smile again. Step-by-step.

Yao Ling just glared at him in contempt, but then, the embarrassment started to kick in. She covered her face with both hands, groaning loudly.

Yao Ying decided to stop teasing her, nodding seriously. "Of course, you are still a kid. I'm not in a rush to eat you."

Yao Ling gaped at the shameless man in front of her. 'He didn't just say that! A kid? Eating me?' She felt her anger surfacing once more, but she held back. She would note what he just said and pay him back later. She would never forget her grudge.

Yao Ying saw her grit her teeth and it made him want to laugh again. She sure had a temper. He decided to ask her clearly, "When do you want to get married?"

Without another thought, Yao Ling answered, "Tomorrow." The faster the better. She didn't want to stay in this house. A house which was full of her mother's memories. It was too painful. After the marriage, she wanted to start the journey right away.

"Tomorrow, it is." Yao Ying nodded.
