Chapter 804: The Disabled Young Master 16

Although he had already seen Tang Wan wearing her wedding dress on the ship, seeing her like this now still stirred something indescribable within He Jiantong, leaving him dazzled by her beauty.

Tang Wan also raised her eyes at this moment, looking at him with a gentle, bright gaze. "Jiantong…"

Seeing the happiness and tenderness on her face, He Jiantong tightened his grip on her hand and suddenly asked, "Can you tell me who you really are now?"

Hearing this, Tang Wan froze.

However, she had never intended to hide it from him.

So she looked at him in surprise. "You knew I wasn't Chu Pan'er?"

Seeing her reaction, He Jiantong's heart stirred.

Looking at her straightforward, completely unflustered expression, it seemed she had never even considered denying it.

……

He nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. "Your hands are very rough. They don't look like the hands of a young lady who has been pampered since childhood. And then there was the change in Master Chu's attitude toward me before and after. So I suspected that you weren't his daughter."

Hearing this, Tang Wan gave him a thumbs-up. "Jiantong, you're so smart! I'm indeed not Chu Pan'er. I'm her maid. My name is Tang Wan."

With that, she blinked and looked at him with moist, innocent eyes. "Jiantong, since you knew from the beginning that I wasn't Chu Pan'er, why did you still marry me? And I'm only a little maid. You aren't regretting marrying me now, are you?"

As she said this, she deliberately put on a nervous, uneasy expression.

He Jiantong loved and cherished her so much that he couldn't bear to let her worry over this matter.

So he hurriedly said, "Of course not. If I regretted it, I wouldn't have gone through with the wedding with you."

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good."

……

Seeing her relieved expression, He Jiantong's face softened. He then asked, "But how did you end up marrying me in Chu Pan'er's place? The person who was watching me from upstairs that day was you too, wasn't it?"

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately nodded. "Yes. Miss didn't really want to marry you, so she came up with the idea of having someone marry in her place."

After saying this, she quickly glanced at He Jiantong's face with an embarrassed expression.

"Miss took one look at you that day and didn't want to look anymore. I was a little curious about what my future husband looked like, so I couldn't help secretly watching you. And then I was completely captivated by your appearance…"

"So when Miss and Master later asked me to marry in her place, I agreed right away!"

As she spoke, she wore an expression that seemed to say that it was all because he was simply too handsome and she couldn't resist.

He Jiantong had never imagined that the reason she had wanted to marry him was actually because of his face.

For a moment, he couldn't help looking both amused and exasperated.

……

"Then if I were an ugly monster, you wouldn't have taken a liking to me?" He Jiantong deliberately asked with a straight face.

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately said, "Of course not! Although I'm someone who cares about looks, I also care very much about what's inside. If we had been fortunate enough to meet back then, then even if you were an ugly monster, I would still have fallen in love with you again! If we hadn't met, then there'd be nothing I could do!"

"Really?" An indescribable emotion instantly surged through He Jiantong's heart.

"Of course! I swear!" Tang Wan raised her hand.

Seeing this, a broad smile immediately spread across He Jiantong's face. "I believe you."

He could tell that she truly wasn't lying.

So there really was someone in this world who would be willing to love him no matter what he became.
