Married at First Sight Chapter 5171
Chu Jiu , whose real name was Long Chuxue, was an orphan whom her master had taken in eighteen years ago, on the first snowfall of the year in Medicine King Valley.
Because it was the ninth day of the lunar month, she was given the nickname Chu Jiu, and her real name was Long Chuxue, taking his surname Long.
Her master said he had no other relatives; Ye Yao and his sister were nominally his siblings, but in reality, they had no blood relation. He was truly an orphan.
Chu Jiu was also an orphan, so he wanted her to keep him company.
When Chu Jiu first arrived at Medicine King Valley, she was quiet but efficient and intelligent. She learned medicine, poisons, and martial arts quickly. Her master always said that if he had found Chu Jiu earlier, she probably wouldn’t have become his master’s only successor.
From then on, Chu Jiu, four years younger than him, treated him like a sister, caring for him as his master. He told her they were equals and not to always call him “master” or “young master,” but Chu Jiu seemed not to listen.
She only remembered what her master had told her.
Her master forbade her to be loyal to him for life, warning her that if she ever dared to betray him or do anything to harm him, she would suffer a terrible death.
Chu Jiu had deep feelings for her master, regarding him as her savior. He had also taught her a great deal. After his passing, she cried her heart out, becoming even more silent than usual.
Long Ting stayed by her side, comforting her, and it took him half a year to help her recover from her grief.
After that, she became his shadow; wherever he went, she was there, his closest and most skilled bodyguard.
Long Ting and she had grown up together, sharing an eighteen-year bond. He had never treated her as a servant, but as a partner, a friend, even a childhood sweetheart. But Chu Jiu was stubborn.
While her heart and soul were truly devoted to him, she saw him as her master and herself as his servant, insisting on being his bodyguard. Even though she couldn’t defeat him, she always rushed to his aid whenever danger arose.
Time and again, she shielded him from harm, leaving him feeling both heartache, anger, and helplessness.
He was burdened with a deep-seated hatred, and before avenging his family, he didn’t want to consider marriage. Who knew if he’d even live to marry? No matter how his adoptive mother and master tried to persuade him, he refused.
Long Ting wanted to say that Chu Jiu was just his bodyguard, but when that stubborn yet cold and beautiful face flashed through his mind, he ultimately didn’t say it. He knew he wasn’t heartless towards Chu Jiu.
It was just that with his revenge unfulfilled, he dared not consider feelings.
“Aunt Ya, please let me have a proper meal,”
Long Ting said with a smile. “When I go home, my mother-in-law scolds me, my master scolds me, all the elders are pressuring me to get married, I can’t even eat in peace. Now that I’ve come here to see Beibei, you’re all pressuring me again.”
He even pointed at Beibei, “Even the little girl is pressuring me.”
“Brother Ting, I’m not a little girl anymore.”
“In our eyes, you will always be a little girl, everyone’s little sister.”
In his childhood, there were mostly brothers, only two girls, and then Junxiao was born. With so few girls, they were especially precious, and everyone doted on these three little sisters.
After Junxiao was born, Long Ting didn’t have much contact with this youngest sister. He spent most of his time with Junyan and Beibei, and his affections naturally leaned towards these two sisters.
Ouyang Ya laughed, “Alright, we won’t rush you. You’re over thirty, you have your own ideas. We’re just offering some advice. It’s up to you what to do.”
“If you encounter difficulties in the future, just ask. You’re not alone; we all have you backed up.”
Long Ting said gratefully, “Thank you, Aunt Ya. I won’t hesitate to ask for your help if I need anything.”
He knew he wasn’t without support; on the contrary, many people were supporting him. But revenge was his own business, and he didn’t want his families to get involved.
“Long Ting, you must not have eaten yet since you rushed over. We’ve already eaten. If you want to have dinner with Bei Bei, stay a little longer and go back after dinner.”
Long Ting said, “I came after lunch. I know I’m running late. Please trouble Uncle Liu to cook some good food tonight; I want to eat my fill.” Zhan Yuan laughed
, “Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll eat until you’re stuffed.”
Everyone laughed.
