Lu He swallowed her saliva and continued, "I took the chance to run out. The dagger was very sharp, and during the struggle, my little finger was cut off."
In the end, she became pitifully aggrieved.
The wound healed significantly, but the wound in her heart did not.
A body with defects is considered unlucky, and a respectable family would never hire a maid or servant with an incomplete body.
Lu He repeated softly, "Eldest Young Master, my little finger is gone."
Wooo~ Wooo...
The sound of sobbing echoed in the room.
One wave after another, without pause~
Zhao Jun did not focus on the words "little finger is gone" but thought instead about her purity being intact, not having bent to anyone else’s pleasure. These past few days felt like a weight pressed on his heart, but at this moment, he relaxed.
He didn’t want her to have belonged to someone else!
He turned around and hugged the person leaning against the wall, gently patting her little head, "Don’t be afraid, I have scars on my face, I’m ugly, I can’t walk properly, and even my voice is unpleasant. I don’t cry, and in my heart, you are very beautiful."
The man’s hoarse voice was like heavenly music that touched her heart.
The sobbing quieted significantly, turning into a soft whimper, barely audible without listening closely.
He simply lifted the quilt on her side and tightly embraced her.
The woman’s body was small and soft, as delicate as it was strong, with the resilience of an ox from driving carriages during the day. Zhao Jun couldn’t resist kissing her raven-black long hair, which smelled fragrant.
Sensing his actions, Lu He didn’t resist but murmured softly, "Don’t you like Miss Sun? Why are you kissing me?"
The nasal sound from her sobbing made her sound even more endearing.
Zhao Jun lowered his head to kiss her again, "I don’t like her anymore. Now, I only like you. Sometimes, I think about it and realize how foolish I was. She was always indifferent to me and never expressed any affection for me. It was only my wishful thinking at the time."
Lu He blinked, "I didn’t know about you."
"If my leg heals, would you marry me? Would you be willing?"
The man’s voice was calm, but the tension on his face revealed everything, hidden in the darkness.
She refused, "No, you’re a flirtatious person. You used to have many confidantes, liked visiting brothels, flirting around, and often hit me and made trouble for me... No way, let go of me, you rogue."
Counting one by one, she was shocked by how many there were!
Lu He struggled, using both hands and feet, trying to push away the man who was holding her.
Zhao Jun, hearing this, became anxious and wouldn’t let go, "There was a time in the mansion when I often messed around. Don’t worry, I’ll change in the future. You can also hit me back now."
His large hand grabbed her small hand, guiding it to his face, deliberately offering the unscarred side of his face, so she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable hitting the scarred side.
He didn’t hold back, pulling her little hand hard to press it against his face!
"Hit me, hit me, I won’t fight back..."
His movements matched with his tone; even in the dark, one didn’t need to see to know how humble and pleading he was.
Lu He turned her body to face him, calmly saying, "Young Master, the reason you like me now is because, with your current circumstances, you have no better choice, forced by helplessness. Once you recover, your pursuits will change as well. I was born ordinary, my father only had my mother, and I can’t accept your polygamy. When people are at their lowest, they can only accept what is currently available. Like in the Zhao Mansion back then, you were so high above, when did you ever look at me directly?"
