On their wedding night.
In their wedding house where only the two of them were present, all the curtains were drawn shut.
The bed was covered in vibrant red sheets, adorned with exquisitely embroidered dragon and phoenix motifs.
It was symbolizing marital harmony, a hundred years of bliss, and auspiciousness.
On this night, all madness was permissible.
Under the warm, soft glow of the lights, on the crimson bed.
Fu Dezheng cradled Lu Lili’s face in his hands, as if holding a precious treasure, and tenderly kissed her delicate and beautiful eyebrows
Then her petite and straight nose.
Then her lips that were painted a stunning red.
He cherished her features, her face, so deeply.
Plastic surgery?
He chuckled, no way it happened.
As someone who could be in close proximity to her every day, he had actually noticed a long time ago.
Her appearance was definitely not the result of plastic surgery.
She would be scared and avoid looking when getting a simple injection when she was sick. How could someone who tightly held his hand dare to let a knife touch her face?
Although he didn’t know how she became “Lu Lili,” he was willing to pretend he didn’t know anything, willing to pretend for a lifetime.
He loved her, and she loved him, and that was enough…
After successfully obtaining the Wealth Card in this world, Lu Lili didn’t know how many decades had passed.
Her and Fu Dezheng’s lives were finally coming to an end.
She quietly calculated her age, but she didn’t want to say it out loud, because age is a woman’s eternal secret???!
Regardless of how long she had lived, she felt that her state of mind hadn’t aged. She often felt like a youthful and energetic eighteen-year-old girl!
Just as Lu Lili had hoped, her Grandpa, Lu Wangxin, had truly lived to be a hundred years old before passing away.
Just as the system had said, Lu Lili did not live to be as old as her grandfather.
Because living to a hundred years old was really rare, not everyone could achieve it.
In the final moments,
The system reminded as usual:
[Host, talk to him a little longer, he’s about to leave.]
[Once he’s gone, we can go collect the next Wealth Card.]
Lu Lili sat on a chair by the bed, looking at the person lying on the bed who was holding her hand tightly and unwilling to let go.
She leaned in and asked affectionately, “Fu Dezheng, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
“Not thirsty.” Fu Dezheng looked at her directly, as if he wanted to imprint her in his soul forever.
Suddenly, he slowly spoke up and asked her, “Lili, if there is a next life, would you be willing to be with me for lifetime after lifetime?”
This is a common plot that happens between deeply in love couples before they are separated by life and death.
Lu Lili naturally nodded and earnestly replied, “I am willing.”
She didn’t shy away, but looked into his eyes with sincerity and said word by word, “Fu Dezheng, being with you in this lifetime has made me feel incredibly happy. Thank you for the beautiful memories you’ve given me. I will love you forever.”
Upon hearing her response, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Fu Dezheng’s lips as he peacefully closed his eyes and ceased to breathe.
Lu Lili held his lifeless hand in hers, not having the chance to grieve yet, when the system’s voice suddenly rang out again—
[Contract Established!]
[Host, your soul has formally contracted with Fu Dezheng. Please be aware.]
Lu Lili looked confused, “What contract?”
She didn’t do anything, did she?
The system concealed its mischievous laughter and replied in a serious tone:
[Naturally, it’s a contract for you and him to be together for lifetimes~]
[You just agreed to it a moment ago.]
Lu Lili was shocked, “…This can happen?”
System: [Yes, as your intimate loved one, the promise he asked of you before passing away has contractual effect.]
“Then… why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
[I only found out just now too, host~]
“…”
Pfft- there goes her dream of harem
