He hated that he shared the same blood as her.
He hated that his surname was Rothschild.
He hated…
He couldn't keep her by his side as a lover…
Stumbling and in turmoil for years, he couldn't forget, couldn't let go.
All he wanted was—
"I'll marry you, I'll marry you, I'll marry you!" Du Ruoxin cried even harder. "I promise to marry you, as long as you don't have the surgery."
She just wanted a healthy older brother.
She only wanted a healthy older brother.
In any case, Du Ruoxin would never marry anyone else in this life. As long as her older brother didn't do anything foolish, as long as he was healthy, she—
Let's get out of the operating room first!
"Really?" Kristino clearly didn't believe her. "You're not lying to me?"
Du Ruoxin nodded vigorously, "I'm not lying to you, not lying to you."
She pulled him off the bed.
"Let's go, let's go, let's leave here!"
What kind of place was this? She would never come back!
Kristino stood still, not moving. He put his arm around the woman's waist and looked at her affectionately, "Xin'er, you lied to me to get out of the operating room."
"If you lie this time, I'll still walk in next time."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Her little thoughts were seen through, and she bit her lower lip.
"Unless you promise…" Kristino lifted the woman's chin, his blue eyes deep, "to get the marriage certificate with me."
"We don't have to have a big wedding."
"But you have to go to church with me and have a wedding ceremony witnessed by a priest."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Hearing the man's words, she felt as if she had fallen into a frozen abyss.
Du Ruoxin shivered.
【Marry?】
Her with…
Kristino saw her hesitation and continued, "I will go and persuade Mom and Dad."
"No one will dare to look at you with strange eyes."
Outwardly, they had always been foster siblings. Even if they got married, no one would criticize them.
Inwardly, if she couldn't accept it for a while, he could take his time and wouldn't touch her.
"It's not—" Du Ruoxin averted her gaze, not daring to look her older brother directly in the eye.
Kristino saw her hesitation, let go of her hand, and walked back to the operating table to lie down. "You can leave now."
He wanted to change his blood!
To change this damned blood relation!
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Staring at the man's resolute figure, her eyes became a little vacant.
Did she really have to marry?
Marry—
Du Ruoxin held her breath, feeling as if she was suffocating.
After a long, long time.
She slowly walked to Kristino's side and held his hand. "You really won't force me?"
"We—"
"Are just married in name only, are you willing?"
If giving him a title was enough to put his mind at ease, to make him give up his reckless behavior and the surgery, then she—
Du Ruoxin bit her lower lip.
It seemed she had no choice?
Kristino suddenly sat up and held the woman's hands. "Okay."
As long as she agreed to marry him, as long as she agreed to stay by his side forever, even if it was a marriage in name only, he would be overjoyed.
And, what happened in the future…
Who could say for sure if there would be substance?
He just wanted her to nod in agreement!
Kristino kissed Du Ruoxin's hand, and said excitedly, "Then we'll have the wedding tomorrow. I've already prepared the wedding dress and rings."
"The church has also been booked."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
How… could he have prepared everything so thoroughly? She felt like she was being set up.
But looking at her older brother's crazed, fervent, and expectant eyes, she couldn't say anything.
Her mind was a complete mess.
"It's perfect for the Rong family to be our witnesses."
"Let them attend our wedding."
"Xin'er…"
Kristino suddenly embraced Du Ruoxin, excitedly saying, "You are finally my wife."
"I finally married you."
"Don't leave me."
"Never leave me in this life…"
Du Ruoxin listened to the man's murmuring words, and in the end, she simply closed her eyes silently, not uttering a single word.
