Jiujiu's drawing speed was very fast. In an instant, she had drawn a person's appearance from the original sketch.
However, Jiujiu didn't draw her current appearance, but her original appearance.
Speaking of which, Jiujiu couldn't quite remember what she looked like before. After all, she had experienced so much and changed so many times. However, she didn't know why, but the moment she picked up the pen and started to draw, that face appeared in front of her as if it had been drawn countless times.
Almost instantly, Jiujiu drew her own appearance on the paper.
To be honest, Jiujiu's appearance wasn't really stunning, but because of her exceptionally bright eyes, she was particularly eye-catching, especially the two small dimples on both sides of her mouth. It was simply intoxicating, and people couldn't help but indulge in it.
Originally, when he saw Jiujiu draw a stranger's appearance, Lin Zeyu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to ask Jiujiu who this person was and why she drew this person, but when he saw the appearance that Jiujiu drew, all the words were stuck in his throat. Lin Zeyu was instantly speechless.
Clearly, in the years before him, he had never seen this woman at all, but the moment he saw the portrait, he felt as if he had finally met her after a long journey.
Lin Zeyu was very clear that the person he really liked was Jiujiu, but when he saw this portrait, he couldn't help but want to take another look, one more look, until this appearance was deeply engraved in his heart.
Seeing Lin Zeyu looking at her portrait with infatuation, Jiujiu pursed her lips and chuckled, "What, you suddenly found that this woman is prettier than me and fell in love with her?"
"No." Lin Zeyu directly denied without hesitation, but his slightly furrowed brows showed his inner struggle, "I feel like I know her."
Lin Zeyu looked at Jiujiu and said, "I think she's very familiar, but I've never seen her before, so …"
That was why he kept looking at her. He wanted to see if he had seen this woman before and if he really knew her.
If there were others present, they would find Lin Zeyu's words strange, but Jiujiu clearly understood the true meaning behind Lin Zeyu's words.
Even though he was just a soul fragment, he still remembered his own appearance in his heart.
The person he really liked was not her current appearance, but her real self. Even if she was just a portrait, he would still keep looking at her. It could be seen that he had deep feelings for her.
Jiujiu's heart was moved. She suddenly turned around and buried her head in Lin Zeyu's embrace. Hearing the sound of Lin Zeyu's heart beating, Jiujiu bit her lips and said softly, "I'll take care of the Li Family's matters in a few days. When the time comes, will you marry me?"
"I'm willing."
Lin Zeyu hugged Jiujiu's shoulders and pulled away from Jiujiu. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy as he looked at Jiujiu and said, "You're willing to marry me?"
Jiujiu nodded, "I'll discuss this matter with the old housekeeper in a few days. In the future, the Li Family's business will all be handed over to the Marquis' wife. What do you think?"
After hearing the meaning behind Jiujiu's words, Lin Zeyu's lips revealed a brilliant smile, "That's good."
After Jiujiu spoke with Lin Zeyu for a while, she left to make arrangements.
Seeing Jiujiu jump out of the window again, Lin Zeyu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. It was fine if Jiujiu left through the door. Why did she keep jumping out of the window?
The two of them were clearly open and aboveboard, but because of Jiujiu's action of jumping out of the window, there was an additional hint of adultery.
After Jiujiu returned to the Li Residence, she informed Housekeeper Li and Xiao Cui that she was going to get married.
When the old housekeeper and Xiao Cui, who had taken care of Jiujiu for more than ten years, heard Jiujiu say that she was going to get married, they were instantly stunned. Then, they hurriedly asked who that person was and how Jiujiu knew him.
In short, the old housekeeper and Xiao Cui were like old hens protecting their chicks. They wanted nothing more than to dig up all eighteen generations of Lin Zeyu's ancestors.
In the end, when they heard Jiujiu say that the other party was the Zhenyuan Marquis and that she would become the Marquis's wife after marrying in, the old housekeeper and Xiao Cui finally let down their guard. However, when they thought of the saying that once one enters a marquis' house, the old housekeeper, who had always taken care of Jiujiu like his own child, instantly felt uneasy again.
The old housekeeper pulled Jiujiu's hand and dissuaded her, "Young Miss, don't blame this servant for speaking out of turn. This Marquis likes you today, so he can like another girl tomorrow. Even if you become the Marquis's wife, so what? He can give you this position today, so he can give it to someone else tomorrow. Rather than becoming the Marquis's wife, why not find someone who knows his place and marry him and live a peaceful life."
The old housekeeper wasn't unduly belittling himself and thinking that Jiujiu wasn't worthy of Lin Zeyu, the Marquis, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt that it wasn't easy to be the master of a noble family.
Usually, those who married into the Marquis's household were either wealthy or respectable. There were always people at home supporting them. If the people in the Marquis's household were dissatisfied with you, you still had your family to return to. Even if you wanted to divorce, you still had the confidence to do so.
However, Jiujiu was different. First, Jiujiu's parents had long passed away. Now, Jiujiu's identity outside was Young Master Li. Moreover, if Jiujiu wanted to marry over, the master of these shops would naturally have to be named. When the time came, it would be difficult to divorce.
Moreover, if Lin Zeyu wasn't a good person, even if he was really black-hearted and took Jiujiu's shops and land, Jiujiu wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Therefore, although marrying Lin Zeyu sounded better, the housekeeper still didn't want Jiujiu to marry over.
Jiujiu thought that the housekeeper wouldn't oppose her and Lin Zeyu after hearing Lin Zeyu's identity. However, she didn't expect that the housekeeper would oppose it so strongly. After hearing the housekeeper's reason for opposing, Jiujiu felt warm in her heart.
Speaking of which, when Li Jiu was a child, the housekeeper had been taking care of Li Jiu. After Jiujiu came, even if Jiujiu was a powerful person, the housekeeper had been helping her all the time. Even if Jiujiu had three heads and six arms, she couldn't do it so well.
Therefore, although the housekeeper's words sounded a bit overboard, in fact, every word came from the bottom of his heart.
Jiujiu knew that Lin Zeyu wouldn't let her down. However, the housekeeper didn't know that. The housekeeper could say such words in front of Jiujiu that might make Jiujiu angry. It was obvious that the housekeeper was sincere to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and looked at the housekeeper, saying, "The housekeeper is thinking for me. How can I be angry?"
Jiujiu stood up from her seat and walked to the housekeeper. She took out two contracts and stuffed them into the housekeeper's and Xiao Cui's hands.
