Chapter 385 He must marry the girl he saved from drowning.
Is the reaction really that strong?
Don't they even care about their own lives?
In a flash, Yingyang threw down his fishing rod and followed Qin Chuyun, leaping into the water with a splash.
Then Yingyang realized he was in for a terrible situation!
Having grown up on the grasslands, he couldn't swim at all, not even the legendary dog paddle!
In his haste, he even forgot something so important!
How can he rescue Qin Chuyun?
He himself is barely able to protect himself!
The maids and servants on the shore were terrified by what they saw. Some shouted for help, while others went to report to the General's Mansion.
The manor was thrown into chaos and utter disarray.
Yingyang felt as if he had drunk a lot of water in a daze. The river water had a muddy smell, which made him want to vomit. Then he took another sip.
He flailed his arms wildly, kicking his legs frantically, trying to find a foothold, but his body rose and fell, and in an instant he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he could see death slowly approaching him...
Suddenly, he grabbed something soft with one hand and was overjoyed, but then he heard someone shouting at him.
"What are you doing, touching me like that?! Stand up straight! Attention!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Yingyang felt a huge octopus wrap around his body, and he subconsciously did as the voice had said.
He finally... stood up straight! And stood at attention!
He opened his eyes and stared directly into Qin Chuyun's eyes!
Suddenly looking down, he saw Qin Chuyun's arms and legs tightly wrapped around him, while his own feet were firmly planted in the mud of the river, the water barely reaching his neck...
"You're quite tall, but what's the point? I just tested it, the river water was just over my head, but you're fine. You're a head taller than me, what are you afraid of?!"
Qin Chuyun glared at Ying Yang with exasperation.
"Come on, walk towards the shore! Do I need to teach you that?!"
"Oh……"
Ying Yang smoothly supported Qin Chuyun's buttocks with both hands, and paddled towards the shore step by step...
He wished he could never reach the shore, so he could stay in Qin Chuyun's arms like this forever, even if the posture wasn't very elegant.
Suddenly, Yingyang felt like a towering giant, protecting his beloved little princess as they walked towards the shores of happiness...
?
Wu Yulan arrived at the estate at dusk. The servant who returned to report the news was terrified, saying that the young lady had fallen into the water and that Young Master Yang had jumped in to save her at the cost of his life.
But the servant didn't know whether he was saved or not.
The thought that Qin Chuyun might lose his life made Wu Yulan want to die. How could she explain it to Qin Shao then?
But as long as Qin Chuyun is alive, Young Master Yang has saved the unmarried woman who fell into the water, hugged her, and seen everything he wanted to see. It would be against all reason not to marry her.
So when Wu Yulan arrived at the manor and saw Yingyang lying on the bed in a guest room, and Qin Chuyun wrapped in a quilt warming himself by the fire, she immediately understood the key point.
Now it's time for this little brat to step in!
"Yun'er, how are you? Are you cold? Have you drunk any ginger soup?"
Qin Chuyun covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"Thankfully, I've already had the ginger soup, so I'm fine..."
"Young Master Yang? How is Young Master Yang?"
Wu Yulan rushed to the bedside and saw that Yingyang's face was pale and he was smiling weakly at her. She felt a pang of heartache.
But this is not the time for her to feel sorry for him. She must demand an explanation from Young Master Yang about this matter and, ideally, finalize the marriage agreement that very day!
Wu Yulan sat down by the bedside, sighing deeply.
"Young Master Yang, I am very grateful to you for saving my Yun'er's life, I am extremely grateful, but as the old saying goes, men and women should not touch each other..."
"Young lady!" Qin Chuyun hurriedly interrupted Wu Yulan, "It's not what you think!"
"What do you mean by 'not what I think'?!"
Ignoring Qin Chuyun's feelings, Wu Yulan pressed on aggressively, spouting off a string of worldly etiquette and grand principles.
"You two are both unmarried, yet you're embracing each other in broad daylight, your clothes soaking wet and clinging to your bodies. What kind of behavior is that? Although it's understandable that Young Master Yang was too anxious to care about such things in order to save lives, my General's daughter still has her pride!"
In full view of everyone, in broad daylight, with so many servants watching! I can't even stop the gossip if I try to cover it up for you! Then the whole city of Liyang will be buzzing with rumors that Young Master Yang saw the General's daughter from head to toe… How am I supposed to live, as his concubine?!
Wu Yulan took out her handkerchief and began to sob in a melodious and pitiful manner.
She never expected that Yingyang, who was lying on the bed, was secretly delighted. He hadn't expected such a wonderful assist. Madam is truly capable!
Now that his marriage to Qin Chuyun has been approved by his wife, isn't it his turn to perform now?
Oh! No! It's a genuine expression of emotion!
Should he kneel down and propose to Qin Chuyun? Or should he kneel before his wife and call her "Mother-in-law" directly?
"Young lady! I already told you it's not what you think! It wasn't him who saved me, it was me who saved him! He's a complete landlubber, he can't swim! If I hadn't saved him, he'd be dead by now!"
Qin Chuyun stomped his feet angrily and quickly explained the truth to Wu Yulan.
Wu Yulan rubbed her eyes and looked at Qin Chuyun as if he were a fool.
"Whether you saved him or he saved you, what's the difference? Just tell me, were you hugging or embracing? Did he see your wet body? Did you see his?"
After a pause, Wu Yulan realized she had blurted out something unintentionally.
"Oh, whether you saw him or not is unimportant. What's important is that he saw you, and you can't deny that, can you?"
Qin Chuyun opened her mouth; she really couldn't deny that.
"Speechless now? Alright, listen to me. To avoid this scandal from escalating and becoming public knowledge, you two should get engaged tonight!"
Turning to look at Yingyang, who was lying on the bed with gleaming eyes, Wu Yulan made the final decision.
"After the engagement, Young Master Yang, once you've rested enough, hurry back to Yancheng and prepare all the necessary arrangements for proposing to my Yun'er! Can you handle that?"
Yingyang sprang up in a swift motion and sat up abruptly.
"No need to wait until tonight, I'm well rested now and can get engaged immediately. I'll head back to Yancheng tonight without a moment's delay and make sure my mother-in-law is satisfied!"
When Wu Yulan heard Ying Yang address her as "Mother-in-law," she chuckled and thought that this young master Yang was quite tactful.
"No need to rush, it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning!"
"Alright, I'll do whatever my mother-in-law says!"
Qin Chuyun stood there, like an outsider, watching his little mother and Ying Yang's interaction, and suddenly burst out laughing.
She looked at Wu Yulan and said with a smile:
"Young lady, do you even know who he is? Why are you making me marry him?"
"Who is he? Isn't he Young Master Yang Ying?"
Before Qin Chuyun could speak, Ying Yang had already jumped off the bed and knelt down in front of Wu Yulan.
"Mother-in-law, please accept my bow!"
"Good, good! You're such a polite child. Get up and stop kneeling, or you'll catch a cold!"
Wu Yulan was overjoyed and reached out to help Yingyang up, liking him more and more as she looked at him.
Finally, Qin Chuyun, who was eager to get married, was married off. Thank God! I'll have to take credit from Qin Shao when the time comes!
Suddenly, Qin Chuyun's leisurely voice rang in Wu Yulan's ears.
“Young lady, he is not Yang Ying, nor is he from Yancheng. His name is Ying Yang, and he is the king of the Rongdi tribe!”
