“Cough cough cough…”
That guy couldn’t help but lightly cough, looking uncomfortable: “You’re thinking too much!”
“I know!” I smacked my lips, naturally continuing: “You’re a guy whose eyes can only hold money. I bet the women who like you will be miserable, and the women you like will be even more tragic! Think about it, competing with silver every day, how can they not be sad?”
“No!” Unexpectedly, that guy immediately and decisively refuted.
“Huh?” I was stunned, then immediately asked: “Why?”
That guy seriously looked into my eyes and said word by word: “If it’s a woman I like, I will definitely treat her well. Even if I have to give up all my money for her, I’m willing!”
For a moment, I was touched by the determination in his eyes, but quickly returned to normal, dismissively curling my lips: “Sounds quite romantic! But I still think there are few men in this world truly worth trusting…”
That guy unconsciously frowned, persistently asking: “Why, why do you say that? Why say men are not trustworthy?
I bit my lip, a hint of hurt flashing in my eyes. After a while, I looked up and directly faced him: “Because men are visual animals who only care about a woman’s appearance and like to chase new and discard old…”
Wei Chi looked at me with a complex expression: “I don’t know why you have this perception, but I want to tell you that what you’re saying are just exceptions, not the whole picture. Not all men only like beautiful women!”
“Hmph—”
I dismissively curled my lips: “Next, are you going to tell me that you’re that kind of man who doesn’t like beautiful women and is extremely loyal?”
“That’s right!”
Sweat. I didn’t expect him to actually dare to agree…
“The most important thing in looking at a person is their heart, appearance is secondary! After all, even the most beautiful face will age one day, only a pure and kind heart can remain eternal! If I, Wei Chi, fancy a woman, even if she’s not beautiful, I’ll still accompany her until old age!”
A very passionate speech, but unfortunately, I had long passed the age of believing: “Please, who can’t say such words? How many can actually do it?”
That guy looked at me as if making a promise: “I will make you see that everything I say today is absolutely serious!”
His gaze made me inexplicably flustered, and I quickly averted my eyes: “Why are you telling me all this? I’m not your… even if you can really do it, it has nothing to do with me, right?”
Wei Chi continued to stare at me: “I just want you to believe that not all men in this world are untrustworthy. If a man has hurt you before, it only proves that he was not the one destined for you.”
…
What is Fate
Fate?
What is fate? Is my crossing over from the 21st century also a kind of destiny? And where is the one destined for me?
I tried to shake off these troublesome thoughts, keeping a straight face: “Alright, the banquet is about to start. I’ll wait and see how serious you are about the woman you like!”
Unless said, Lan Qiye has some conspiracy, already targeting Cheng Yun before he even ascended the throne! So three years later, when he personally went on a diplomatic mission to Cheng Yun, what was his purpose?
A strong man’s ambition to unify the world, I can understand. After all, the world’s trend is that unity will eventually lead to division, and division will eventually lead to unity. A person who has been fighting on the battlefield for years and is ambitious will not be content with peace!
However, if he truly wants to invade Cheng Yun, his target should be the current emperor. So why is it Qi Chenxuan?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand!
I always feel this man has deep schemes, impossible to see through…
And Qi Chenxuan? Does he know Qinghan’s identity? He could have kept her imprisoned by his side for life, so why take the risk of letting her go?
Everything is like a puzzle that I cannot guess the answer to!
The only thing I can be certain of is that Qi Chenxuan must have already met Qinghan, which is why he refuses to attend the banquet!
But can avoiding the problem really solve anything?
A banquet that I ate without tasting, returning to the Prince’s residence, I couldn’t help but go to that guy’s study, but no one was there. I went to the Cherry Garden, and still couldn’t find his figure!
With full of doubts, I returned to my room and surprisingly saw that guy drinking alone. I couldn’t help but exclaim: “Why are you here?”
Qi Chenxuan was slightly stunned, continuing his actions, completely ignoring me!
I quickly stepped forward, snatching the wine cup from his hand. Just as he slightly frowned, I drank the wine in one gulp, saying: “How can you drink alone? It’s no fun drinking by yourself!”
That guy just looked at me with slight surprise, then picked up another cup on the table, pouring and drinking by himself…
I sat across from him, calmly saying: “I saw her. She’s more beautiful than I imagined. You shouldn’t have let her go back then!”
Qi Chenxuan seemed not to hear, drinking cup after cup, only his slightly trembling fingertips revealing his true inner emotions!
I didn’t force him to explain the reason, just silently drinking with him.
The first time drinking so much white liquor, I can’t remember when I passed out. I only remember when I opened my eyes, the sunlight was harsh, and my head hurt terribly from the hangover.
While rubbing my aching forehead and sitting up, I unexpectedly discovered an additional figure beside me, involuntarily taking a sharp breath. Upon careful look, it was actually Qi Chenxuan!
What’s going on?
I desperately shook my head, trying to think clearly, but my brain felt like it was filled with paste, unable to recall anything. For a moment, I felt like crying without tears!
No wonder they say alcohol leads to losing control. OMG! Did I and this guy… probably nothing happened, right?
Ugh, who can tell me whether something happened between us or not?
Although we are husband and wife, I’m totally unprepared! What would I do if something really happened?
A cold light quickly flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, glaring at me: “We are husband and wife, and it’s only natural for two people to sleep together. Tell me, what exactly is shameful about that?”
I admit that what he said made sense, but this marriage was forced upon me, and I never intended to do anything with him.
Thinking this, I became more confident, puffing out my cheeks and saying: “In any case, you should not have bullied me without my consent!”
Unexpectedly, he coolly replied, “Who said I was definitely the one bullying you?”
“Huh?” I couldn’t help but be stunned!
What did he mean by that? Could it be…
No way?
The next second, I widened my eyes, blushing, staring at him in disbelief: “You, stop talking nonsense! I would never do anything to you!”
He coldly raised an eyebrow, looking serious: “You said you don’t remember anything, so how can you be sure you didn’t do anything?”
“I…”
I was instantly speechless!
“What, no response?” He became even more pleased, and even tried to comfort me: “Don’t worry, since it’s already happened, I won’t make you responsible!”
I couldn’t help but glare at him, saying sarcastically: “Responsible? How would I be responsible? Divorce you and marry again?”
He actually blinked and looked at me seriously: “If you really want that, I have no objection!”
What do you mean, if I want that?
Damn, he really has the ability to drive people crazy…
I tried to suppress my urge to go crazy, gritting my teeth: “I absolutely don’t want that!”
“Oh!” Qi Chenxuan shrugged indifferently: “Since that’s the case, we’ll just pretend nothing happened!”
“Go die!”
I couldn’t help but grab the nearby pillow and throw it at him.
Qi Chenxuan nimbly dodged, looking innocent: “So what do you want?”
