Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 521 As soon as possible!

Yunru grinned and slipped the ring in her finger. Zizi crashed into his hug and wailed like a child.

"Why are you crying, Princess?" Yunru chuckled as he caressed her hair and hugged her back. "I feel like crying, to be honest. I was so nervous about this."

"Why were you nervous! Did you doubt that I would reject you?" She accusingly hit his chest.

Yunru teased. "Well, what if you found another handsome man and lost interest in me? I would be dumped to the curb~"

Zizi glared at him. "So mean! I would never be swayed by another man beside my handsome fiance, Soo Yunru!" She harrumphed.

Watching her cute, pouty face, butterflies tickled his stomach, and he dipped his head to capture her lips.

"My Princess is so cute, especially when you pout like that."

Zizi sheepishly grinned. "Yunru, will you love me forever like this? Even if I wouldn't look as beautiful as a princess when I grow old?"

He narrowed his eyes and pinched her nose. "Princess will always be beautiful even if her hair turns grey."

Her heart fluttered with bliss.

"Even if I don't put on make-up at times?" She probed.

His mouth twitched. "Is that even a question?"

"It's important!"

"Princess, I have seen you without your make-up, and frankly, I don't care if you put on that stuff or not. However you might look on the outside, I just want your heart to remain the same."

Zizi burst into tears.

"Okay, and I also want for you not to cry over everything I say," he helplessly shook his head. "People will question what kind of a husband I am, making his pretty wife cry all the time?"

"Who dares poke at my husband! Let them come to me! I will set them straight in no time! Nobody can badmouth you, or I will curse them back a hundred times!"

Yunru smiled. "Same here. If I find anybody talking against my Princess, I will drop them straight to jail."

Zizi beamed. "But Chief Soo, isn't it against the law?"

He whispered. "Don't tell anyone, but I will bend the rules for you just a bit."

Zizi blushed. "Chief Soo, you shouldn't be giving such special treatment to your wife. You should be fair to everyone. Does it mean that you will always pamper me for the rest of our lives?"

He smiled. "Sure. I will pamper you however you want. As long as you are right though. If you make a mistake, then I will be stern."

Her brow twitched. "Can I not get a leeway?"

"Nope," he raised his brow, "especially when you are in the kitchen."

Zizi recalled her failed cooking experience in the Soo house that almost made his house burn down.

"F-Fine…But you cannot scold me too much," she pitifully widened her eyes, trying to garner his sympathy.

He rolled his eyes. "Try that on somebody else, Princess. It won't work on me."

"Tch…"

"Did you just click your tongue?" He pinched her cheeks.

"Noooo, I didn't!" She righteously defended herself. "Fine, you can scold me. But you will have to take me shopping to soothe my wounded heart," she dramatically wiped her eyes.

"..."

Yunru flicked her forehead. "What will be the use of scolding you then if I take you shopping to compensate?"

She gasped. "So you will scold me and not even help my wounded heart to get over it?"

He smiled. "Don't worry about your wounded heart," he sensually brushed his fingers against her cheek, tucking the lock of her hair behind her ear, "I will take care of it in my own way~"

The way he phrased 'own way' sounded suspicious. Her mind automatically drifted off to R-rated scenes on the bed between them, and her face turned a furious crimson.

"W-well…" she cleared her throat, "Your way seems fine too…" she shyly averted her gaze. "I won't object."

Yunru had an urge to laugh. "Hm? Why are you blushing so much? I meant cooking a delicious feast for you. After all, food works wonders to soothe a wounded heart. Were you perhaps…thinking something naughty?"

"..."

Her face flushed tomato red, double the shade than before, misunderstanding his intent.

"Stupid, stupid Yunru!" She cried in grievance. "You did that on purpose!"

She wished to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

"Did what?" He innocently looked at her.

"Y-you you…that tone and b-brushing…"

"Hm?"

"Shut up! You are bullying me! Now soothe my bullied heart…" she signaled for a hug.

He curiously stared at her. "You mean…do it here-"

"Nooo! Hug! I mean, hug me! W-w-why would we do it on t-t-terrace…Anybody can…" she was finding it hard to speak.

Yunru watched her fumble and laughed hard, unable to hold it any longer.

"Ahhhhh, you are so cute, Princess…" he shook his head again. He pulled her in his arms and firmly wrapped her soft body around him.

Zizi mumbled in complaint and hugged him back.

He smiled, and they stood silent like that for quite some time. Zizi twirled her finger on his shirt. "So, when do you want to set the wedding date?" She blushed.

"Well, I wanted to propose to you for a while, but when sis got pregnant, I thought to wait until my lovely niece would come into this world. This way, she would also get to witness our wedding, right?"

Zizi brightened. "That's wonderful! You did the right thing," she seriously nodded.

He smiled. "Now that Shui is here, we can pick any date. It's up to you."

"I want to get married as soon as possible!" She declared.

He laughed. "Don't you want to spend some time with your family? I am pretty sure Uncle Tian would be heartbroken to see his daughter leave so early."

She giggled. "He might never allow me to marry you if we left it to him. Don't worry! I will take care of Dad! I will show him my super cute face, and he will admit his defeat, hahaha!"

"If that's how you want it because honestly…" he kissed her cheek and whispered in a husky voice, "I cannot wait to marry you either."

She trembled, a gush of thrill passing through her body.

"T-then how about next week?"

Yunru grinned and pecked the tip of her nose. "Then next week it is."
