Chapter 191 Don’t Force Me to Slap You

The more he listened, the darker his face became. Shen Yaoxing frowned tightly. Seeing that she was about to leave, he finally got anxious and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.

"etc!"

The evil plan succeeded, Shen Qingyi curled her lips, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.

But she did not lower her attitude immediately. When she turned to look at him, all the smiles on her face had disappeared, leaving only a look of impatience, which was disguised perfectly.

"what?"

Chen Yaoxing: “…”

He coughed and said awkwardly, "Don't leave yet."

Pretending not to see the anxiety on his face, Shen Qingyi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Sir, you're asking questions knowingly. Sit down."

He gritted his teeth and pulled her towards the chair.

Shen Qingyi couldn't resist his strength at all and was pulled back to the chair. Her butt hurt so much that she burst into tears and kicked him with her legs.

"Chen Yaoxing, go to hell!!!"

"Don't forget that you are the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Please behave like a lady."

He easily grabbed her calf and threw her to the ground. After failing to get revenge, Shen Qingyi angrily retorted to him.

If you can't win with your hands, you can't continue to lose with your mouth.

"You're the second son of the Duke's Mansion, so why can't you be more gentlemanly? Why should a legitimate daughter be dignified, while a young master can act recklessly?"

Hearing this, Shen Yaoxing was not angry at all.

He sneered and said, "You want to marry, and as for me, first, I won't inherit the Duke's Mansion, second, I don't have to marry, and third, I don't have to rely on anyone to survive. The strong can naturally act more recklessly."

Shen Qingyi: "..."

She was so angry, but she couldn't refute what he said.

Seeing her unhappy look, Chen Yaoxing felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to her.

"Okay, don't be angry. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have hurt you with so much force. I admit my mistake. If you can't get married in the future, I will support you for the rest of your life, okay?"

"Oh, you actually admit your mistakes. Are you finally finding your conscience? That's really rare."

Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

It was obvious that these words were more insulting than praising, but Chen Yaoxing didn't care at all.

They are her family, so she can do whatever she wants to hurt them.

"Wait, who are you talking about who can't get married? I'm telling you, I won't be unable to get married, you will be the one who can't get married."

These words sounded like a tongue twister, and her reaction arc was very long. She suddenly realized the second half of his sentence, and her arrogance instantly rose. She glared at him angrily.

Chen Yaoxing didn't want to argue with her, so he waved his hands helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, I can't get married, is that okay?"

After he finished speaking, his tone changed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said cautiously, "Sister, you just said that if the princess cancels the engagement, the emperor will choose a husband for her?"

"cough……"

Shen Qingyi's arrogance was successfully suppressed. She choked on her saliva and looked at him in surprise with wide eyes.

Let her think about it, how long has it been since he called her sister?

It seems that he has never called her like this since his little sister was born?

Now, because of this, he calls her sister again?

Tsk, I’m a little uncomfortable hearing it suddenly.

However, this also shows that he is really anxious.

Then Shen Qingyi thought about his previous narcissistic behavior that made her speechless, and decided to leave him alone.

She acted nonchalant and said, "Why are you talking about this?"

"You're such a stubborn ass, you have no intention of trying to please the princess. No matter how I talk to you, I won't make any sense. I'm too lazy to continue."

"If you have this much time, you might as well go and keep my little sister company."

Chen Yaoxing: “…”

Stubborn...stubborn donkey???

Are you talking about him?

He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Shen Qingyi, don't force me to slap you."

It's bad enough that she scolds him, but she also deliberately bullies him and leaves him alone just to make him anxious. This damn girl is really asking for more and more punishment.

"You dare!"

Although she knew he was just talking, Shen Qingyi subconsciously covered her face with her hands and glared at him angrily.

Chen Yaoxing frowned and said fiercely, "Whether you dare or not depends on your attitude from now on. Now let's get back to the point and tell me right now."

"Let me speak, then why don't you ask? If you don't ask, what can I say?"

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Shen Qingyi knew that the situation was almost over. If she continued to pull it, this bastard might get annoyed and not bother to pay attention to her.

In this way, wouldn't her plan be ruined?

"Still playing dumb? Of course I asked you to talk about the Emperor choosing a husband for the princess. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"There's no smoke without fire. I know you went to see the princess today. Could it be that the princess told you this herself?"

The more he talked, the more annoyed Chen Yaoxing became.

The emperor has always wanted him to enter the court. If the emperor really starts to choose a husband for the princess now, he will definitely not consider him.

If this is true, then what is the point of all the troubles he has been going through recently?

Is it a waste of his time?

Seeing him like this, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but want to slap him. She said with disgust, "You claim to be so smart, but how can you not figure out such a simple thing?"

"Of course the princess didn't tell me this, but think about it, she's about two years my age. If the engagement is broken off, wouldn't the emperor, as both her elder brother and the ruler of a country, be anxious to find her another marriage?"

"In recent years, the imperial court has introduced many policies to force marriage in order to encourage childbirth."

"As a member of the royal family, the princess enjoys the splendor and wealth of the royal family, so naturally she must shoulder corresponding responsibilities. At the very least, she must set an example."

"As a princess, she hasn't even gotten married yet. How do you think the people of the world will view the emperor and the court?"

"Also, the border is never peaceful. The Northern Di people often go to war with our Yun Kingdom."

"Although we have always had the upper hand, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen."

"you're right."

He nodded grimly.

Seeing that he finally stopped being stubborn, Shen Qingyi felt a little relieved.

"I'm glad you understand. So, if you want to be with the princess, there are only two ways. One is to ask the emperor for help, and the second is to please the princess."

"Asking the Emperor to grant the marriage directly would be too abrupt and would feel like a forced sale. So, I'm more inclined to the second option."

"You should take the initiative to pursue the princess, win her favor, and go with her to ask the emperor for a marriage. This way, you two will be in love with each other, and it will be better for your future relationship."

Shen Yaoxing frowned when he heard this.

"You still want me to pursue her?"

"What if it's not as expected?"

Shen Qingyi looked at him as if he were an idiot. "If you don't take the initiative to pursue her, how will the princess know that you like her?"

"Also, if you don't take the initiative to pursue her, how can you expect the princess to pursue you?"
