```
After becoming a mistress, I never brought up the topic of marriage again.
In our line of business, it's an unwritten taboo for the patrons.
Those who play the field don't seek trouble for themselves, and patrons seldom bring up marriage with their mistresses.
"I never thought about it," I replied honestly.
Cheng Yu tossed another piece of firewood into the campfire, "Haven't you planned for your future?"
My biggest wish right now is to avenge my parents; as for what comes next, I haven't really thought about it.
I turned my head to look at Cheng Yu's flushed face, feeling that he had simply drunk too much tonight.
"If you're willing, you can always stay with me." The mountain breeze was cool at night, and Cheng Yu tightened his clothes, as if afraid I wouldn't believe him, and added, "I'm serious, I'm not joking with you."
I smiled, ever more certain that he had indeed drunk too much tonight.
