Just as I was breaking out in a cold sweat, a strange yet somewhat familiar male voice suddenly rang out behind me, leisurely drifting into my ears!
” I looked up in surprise, unexpectedly meeting a pair of eyes as deep as an ink-black pool. I blurted out unconsciously: “It’s you?” Standing before me was none other than Qi Chenxuan, who had just inexplicably declared he wanted to marry me.
“It is me!” Qi Chenxuan smiled and replied: “From your expression, you seem quite surprised to see me again? You should know I’ve been waiting here for you the whole time, not taking a single step away!”
I was momentarily unable to process his words, my eyes wide open as I stammered: “You… knew I would come back?”
“Of course!” Qi Chenxuan said calmly: “Even a palace maid at the laundry service would be beaten for damaging clothes. Not to mention losing the beloved robe of the Imperial Consort, you would definitely return to avoid physical punishment. Guessing this wasn’t difficult.”
I tried to steady myself, attempting to sound normal: “Why… why were you waiting for me?”
Qi Chenxuan slowly smiled, looking completely harmless: “You’ve forgotten. You still owe me an answer!”
My body trembled, my gaze involuntarily wandering as I nervously looked at my toes: “Do, do I? Your Highness must be joking with me! I’m just a lowly palace maid. How could I possibly owe you anything?”
“You?” I gritted my silver teeth, wishing I could bore two holes in this guy with my eyes. He’s ruthless, using life and death to threaten me!
You should know that in this strange time and space, I have no attachments except my life.
Qi Chenxuan smiled and asked, “How about it? Are you going to marry me and become the most valuable woman of the entire imperial dynasty, or do you want to drift in the palace like a lonely ghost?”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but shudder and angrily glare at him, “Qi Chenxuan, you’re ruthless! But don’t blame me for not warning you, after marrying me, you will definitely regret it!”
He didn’t care and grinned, “So, you’ve agreed?”
My face darkened, “Yes, I don’t want to die! So, you win, but I have conditions!”
