Chapter 1069: Give Her Peace of Mind

Zheng Yueru felt incomparable heartache seeing Liu Zheng's appearance.

She vaguely remembered that when the Liu father and son first arrived in that barren land of Yinzhou, this young man was still so delicate and high-spirited.

At this moment.

The shadow of a man had gradually appeared on him; his increasingly resilient and angular features made him look more like a man.

But yet...

He had become even more charming.

Her delicate body trembled, and she could not help but reach out to stroke Liu Zheng's face.

Yes, he was a man now.

Her feelings for Liu Zheng had always contained the emotions of an elder sister. These emotions were extremely complex... because she knew of Liu Zheng's excellence, his grand strategy, his compassion for the world, his breadth of mind and vision, and everything about Liu Zheng... all of these things made her unable to extricate herself.

She would never again be able to look at other men; her heart could no longer hold any other man.

"Yue Ru..."

Liu Zheng felt this deep affection from Zheng Yueru and did not know what to say.

He was choked with emotion and speechless.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xuan and Pei Qianyun exchanged a glance and hurriedly exited the room.

In an instant, only Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru were left in the room.

As for Zheng Yueru.

It would certainly be a lie to say Liu Zheng did not like her; from the moment they first met, he had been struck by her stunning beauty. Later, after starting their cooperation with the Zheng Family, Zheng Yueru completely became Liu Zheng's Minister of Finance; no matter how large the operation, she could handle it with ease and coordinate the overall situation.

Until now...

She was already the absolute richest woman in Longyan, and this "richest woman" did not just mean the richest among women...

But that she was truly the wealthiest, regardless of whether it was men or women!

Or rather, the money and commercial empire she controlled were the wealthiest!

By comparison, places like the Jiangzhe region or Wudi were simply trash.

But she...

Was still the woman behind Liu Zheng.

"Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying..."

Seeing Zheng Yueru like this, Liu Zheng's heart instantly melted.

He also reached out, touched Zheng Yueru's delicate, flawless face, and wiped away her tears.

"I..."

At this, Zheng Yueru's whole body trembled as if struck by electricity, but she did not dodge, only feeling her tears flowing more and more. She was not shy either; she looked deeply at the man she loved before her, feeling that the emotions she had accumulated over these past few years were like a surging flood that could no longer be contained.

She did nothing.

But Liu Zheng already felt her deep affection, as well as his own deep apology and indebtedness to her.

"Yue Ru..."

Liu Zheng still did not know what to say.

Zheng Yueru, no longer caring about anything, threw herself into Liu Zheng's arms. She seemed not to want Liu Zheng to see her like this anymore, not to want Liu Zheng to see her looking so disheveled. She had also had enough of this repressed emotion that had lasted for several years... Back then, Qingyang had told her that Liu Zheng would never be hers, because no matter what position she reached, she would always be from a merchant family...

But...

She really could not repress it anymore.

"Ah..."

Just like that, she threw herself into Liu Zheng's arms and actually bit down hard on Liu Zheng's shoulder with her teeth.

This made Liu Zheng let out a cry, but he quickly held it back.

He seemed to be able to feel the hardships Zheng Yueru had endured over these years, as well as the repression of her feelings... She was too tired, she was indeed too tired... She managed the entire Yintan City and managed the entire Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce. There were truly too many things to worry about.

He himself was a person who had transmigrated; for many things, once he proposed a concept, there would be a Think Tank to enrich it. Of course, there were also times when he had to rack his own brains.

And stay up all night. But he should have been much more relaxed than Zheng Yueru. Zheng Yueru was a native of Longyan; all her theories needed to be learned and pondered. Liu Zheng's starting point was much higher than hers.

As Yintan City and Liangzhou became increasingly powerful, Zheng Yueru's work and pressure also grew greater.

She was not a god.

She was only human...

She had been working hard to keep up with his pace, she had been working hard, and she had been taking care of all his forces—whether it was the Western Regions, Central Asia, Liaodong, the Southern Barbarians, or even now the Suez Canal—in every possible detail...

She was very tired.

She must be very tired.

Liu Zheng just held Zheng Yueru like this, letting her cry.

Sure enough.

As she cried, this richest woman of Longyan fell asleep from exhaustion.

Zheng Yueru was undoubtedly a beauty, but the direction of her beauty was different from Xie Chan; she was more capable and strong, with the air of a domineering female CEO. But at this moment, in front of Liu Zheng, she was still a fragile woman. Her soft body leaned against Liu Zheng, with that white neck and the scent of jasmine coming from her body...

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

He picked her up horizontally and walked toward the bed.

"Hmm?"

Zheng Yueru was startled awake.

But Liu Zheng did not give her a chance to break free.

The pavilion in the backyard here was Fengming Tower, truly prepared for those high-ranking officials and nobles; whether it was the environment or the hardware facilities, it was completely incomparable to those private rooms.

Inside this bedroom, cloud-top sandalwood was used for the beams, crystal jade walls served as lamps, pearls were used for curtains, and gold was cast for the column bases.

Hanging by the six-foot-wide agarwood bed were shark-silk treasure canopy curtains, embroidered all over with pearls and silver thread in begonia flower patterns; when the wind rose, the silk moved as if one had fallen into a sea of clouds and illusions. On the bed were placed green jade pillows, covered with soft silk and ice mats, and folded with jade-belted silk quilts. This specification was a proper Noble standard.

For the average person, how could they ever afford to enjoy this?

The atmosphere alone was already difficult for people to endure.

Feeling the slight trembling of Zheng Yueru's body in his arms, Liu Zheng knew she had already woken up. She simply did not open her eyes, seemingly trying to remain calm as she buried her head into Liu Zheng's chest.

Liu Zheng had not been drinking today.

But he also knew that he liked Zheng Yueru.

This woman had followed him for so long and worked so hard, not truly just for money... but for him, for his grand ambitions.

She had never married.

Liu Zheng naturally knew the reason why.

As his status grew higher and higher... Zheng Yueru actually felt that she was becoming further and further away from him. That was how the "matching of social status" worked in this feudal society.

However...

The reality was not so.

What did Liu Zheng care about matching social status?

What did Liu Zheng care about political interests?

What he liked, he liked... what he liked, he would give her peace of mind and a future.

Slowly.

He placed Zheng Yueru, who was feigning sleep with her eyelashes trembling slightly, onto the bed.

Under the dim and ambiguous light, her fair and tender face was already stained with a layer of crimson...

Her small hands, which managed nearly half of the wealth of Longyan, were curled up tightly in nervousness at this moment.

Liu Zheng could no longer hold back, and his body slowly lowered... Pop-ups are frequent recently, you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
