I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 262 Telling the Heart

"Although your wedding was rushed this time, your father and I will prepare everything that needs to be prepared. We won't let you suffer. You and Mu Chuan can just live a good life together from now on." Mother Sheng hugged Sheng Ya Shu with one arm and patted her back gently with the other.

"Mother, what did you just say? Who did I say that to?" Sheng Yashu was still lost in her own thoughts when she suddenly heard these words and was startled.

"You and Mu Chuan, the husband your father found for you is Mu Chuan." Mother Sheng had come to talk about this matter, and when she heard her daughter ask, she repeated it.

"Mother, that's my brother! How could you let me marry my brother?" In her heart, Jiang Muchuan had always been her brother, and now he was going to become her husband. She couldn't accept it for a while.

"You two aren't even blood siblings, so why can't you get married? Besides, we don't trust anyone else. Is it because you don't like Mu Chuan?" Seeing her daughter's strong reaction, Sheng's mother was also wondering what would happen if her daughter disagreed.

"Mother, is it because you and Father are Mu Chuan's benefactors that you are taking advantage of his kindness? Mother, how could you do this? Even if I can't get married again, you can't do this!" Sheng Yashu felt ashamed to face Jiang Mu Chuan again.

"You child, is that how you see your father and I? We also treat Mu Chuan as our own son." Mother Sheng angrily slapped Sheng Ya Shu's back hard.

"Ouch, Mother, please be gentle." Sheng Yashu gasped; her mother was really rough.

"I think you just want to get beaten." Although that's what Sheng's mother said, her hand unconsciously rubbed Sheng Yashu's skin.

"I'm sorry, Mother, I misspoke. But Mother, is Brother Mu Chuan really willing?" Sheng Ya Shu still couldn't quite believe it.

"Of course it's true. Mu Chuan has always had you in his heart. It's just that you didn't want to get married before, so Mu Chuan didn't tell you. But he's been waiting for you all along," Mother Sheng said with a smile.

"Huh? Mother, really? I didn't see that coming." Sheng Yashu had always thought that Jiang Muchuan felt brotherly and sisterly towards her.

"Think carefully, how has Mu Chuan treated you on a daily basis?"

Sheng Yashu recalled their daily interactions and for some reason felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"Your father and I watched Mu Chuan grow up, so we're at ease knowing you two are getting married," Mother Sheng said with emotion.

"Thank you, Mother and Father."

"You should hand over the business to your father for the time being and prepare yourself well." Seeing that her daughter no longer refused, Sheng's mother got up to leave; she still had many things to do.

"Yes, I understand, Mother." After her mother left, Sheng Yashu sat down, her mind filled with many thoughts. She had never imagined that she would marry the man she had always regarded as her brother. She felt a mix of fear and sweetness.

The next day, the Sheng family had already set the wedding date.

Sheng Yashu was in her room, looking at the wedding dress designs that her maid had brought over. She didn't need to make the wedding dress herself, but she did need to choose the style.

When Jiang Muchuan entered the room, he saw this scene. Sheng Yashu was smiling and talking to her maid. A thought struck him: he was afraid that Sheng Yashu didn't like him and that her marriage to him was out of necessity.

"Ya Shu." Jiang Muchuan's voice seemed to carry endless affection, leaving Sheng Ya Shu stunned.

"You may all leave now," Jiang Muchuan said to the maids inside the room.

"Yes, Young Master Jiang."

"Ya Shu." Jiang Muchuan approached Sheng Ya Shu and called out again with a gentle smile.

"Brother Mu Chuan." Sheng Ya Shu was a little embarrassed. She had never felt this way when facing Jiang Mu Chuan before. Now that their identities had changed, she suddenly didn't know how to get along with Jiang Mu Chuan.

Seeing the blush on Sheng Yashu's face, Jiang Muchuan felt a tender disbelief; she must like him.

"Ya Shu, you're getting married soon. Are you having any trouble adjusting?"

"No, Brother Mu Chuan." Sheng Yashu shook her head.

"That's good. Ya Shu, don't wrong yourself. You'll always be the most important person in my heart. You can do whatever you want with me." Jiang Muchuan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Sheng Ya Shu's ear, speaking affectionately.

This was the woman he had guarded for over a decade. As he grew older, his feelings for her deepened, to the point where he could hardly contain them.

Now I can finally say it without any restraint.

Looking at the person in front of her, Sheng Yashu felt the love in Jiang Muchuan's eyes almost materialize, making her heart pound and her face flush redder than the most vibrant rouge.

"Hehe, is Ya Shu shy?" Jiang Muchuan, who always had a cold face in front of others, was as gentle as the June sky when he was with Sheng Ya Shu.

"Brother Mu Chuan~" Sheng Ya Shu lowered her head shyly, her voice sweet and coquettish, making Jiang Mu Chuan's heart tremble. Sheng Ya Shu had never spoken to him like this before.

Sheng Yashu was startled by her own tone and immediately covered her mouth with her hand. How could she have made such a sweet and cloying sound?

Jiang Muchuan reached out and pulled Jiang Shengyashu into his arms, tightly embracing her slender waist.

"Ya Shu, I'm so happy, I've never been this happy before. I was afraid you didn't like me, afraid you would marry someone else. When Uncle said we were getting married yesterday, I was so excited, but I was also afraid you were just being forced into it. But now I'm sure, you love me too, don't you?" Jiang Muchuan's words were somewhat incoherent, but they were incredibly sincere.

Sheng Yashu sensed Jiang Muchuan's excitement and reached out to hug his waist, burying her face in his chest.

"I'm sorry, Brother Muchuan, I didn't know." I didn't know that your deep affection for me in the past had made me wait for so long.

"It's alright, Ya Shu, this is all my own choice, and I'm happy to do it." Jiang Muchuan slowly released his hands and looked at Sheng Ya Shu.

He never regretted liking Sheng Yashu, and even if Sheng Yashu never responded, he would continue to like her.

"Brother Mu Chuan." Sheng Ya Shu called out with a smile that seemed to be playing on her lips.

Sheng Yashu slightly raised her head, quickly kissed Jiang Muchuan on the cheek, and then swiftly left, catching Jiang Muchuan off guard.

At this moment, she knew perfectly well that she loved Jiang Muchuan and she looked forward to their marriage.

Jiang Muchuan, who was being kissed, was stunned for a long time. Ya Shu had kissed him. Ya Shu had just kissed him.

Jiang Muchuan felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and at this moment he didn't know what to say.

"Ya Shu..."

Looking at Sheng Yashu's rosy lips in front of him, Jiang Muchuan felt his mouth go dry; she was so alluring.
