Chapter 461 Are You Waiting for Me?

“You are…”

Song Wan'er didn't know what to say to Jiang Hao for a moment.

How come this guy always interprets what he wants to hear no matter what others say?

Jiang Hao saw Song Wan'er's expression, which looked like she wanted to scold someone but didn't know how to do it, and thought she was adorable. He immediately said, "You knew I was coming, but you didn't call anyone, didn't chase me away, and even kept pretending to be asleep. Were you... also waiting for me to come?"

When Song Wan'er heard this, she became annoyed. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you need me to slap you twice more before you understand?"

"Hit me if you want." Jiang Hao put his face close to Song Wan'er's hand, as if he would let her hit him as much as she wanted. "As long as you are willing to talk to me nicely, don't even think about giving me two slaps, even twenty or two hundred slaps are all up to you."

"You..." Song Wan'er couldn't bring herself to slap Jiang Hao anymore. She pushed him and said, "If you want to go crazy, go crazy outside. Don't go crazy here!"

Why are there still people asking for a beating?

Jiang Hao took Song Wan'er's wrist and said to her lovingly, "I will be obedient in the future. Please don't leave me, okay?"

Song Wan'er almost drowned in his eyes, but she knew clearly that Jiang Hao was not an obedient person.

He came here tonight and said these words to her just to get what he wanted.

Song Wan'er struggled to pull herself away from Jiang Hao's almost drowning affection, "If you really want to be obedient, then leave now."

Jiang Hao looked at Song Wan'er, his eyes darkening little by little.

"When a man truly loves a girl, he should never sneak into her bedroom in the middle of the night." Song Wan'er said, "Those girls in the storybooks who secretly agreed to spend their lives with men all ended up badly, and the same goes for the men who offered themselves to her in the middle of the night."

She thought she had said it harshly enough.

If Jiang Hao had any dignity left, he would have stormed off in anger at this moment.

But Jiang Hao was not angry at all, he fell into deep thought, "So, what you mean is..."

He said slowly, "Should I win your favor in an upright manner?"

Song Wan'er was speechless for a moment: "..."

"I see." Jiang Hao even quickly thought of something else, "Your brother doesn't like me, so I have to find a way to change his mind about me."

"Wan'er, I understand."

Jiang Hao said this very seriously, then immediately stood up and left.

"What do you know?" Song Wan'er lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao had already walked to the window and turned to look at Song Wan'er, "I will become the person you like and start over with you in the way you like."

"I……"

Before Song Wan'er could say anything, Jiang Hao had already climbed out the window, jumped onto the roof and disappeared into the night.

Song Wan'er sat on the bed, unable to recover for a long time.

This guy is crazy.

When Jiang Hao returned to the general's residence, he immediately called housekeeper Liu and several of his confidants to the front hall.

Today the new emperor ascended the throne, and the General Pingxi was promoted to Marquis of Pingxi. Everyone in the palace was waiting to celebrate for the Marquis after hearing the news.

Butler Liu had prepared early, but they waited and waited until late at night and Jiang Hao still didn't come back.

It had been quite a while since the palace banquet ended.

Everyone was worried that something had happened to Jiang Hao, so they sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him.

It was Butler Liu who said that he was probably going to look for his wife.

Even though Song Wan'er had divorced Jiang Hao, Butler Liu and the others had never changed their way of addressing her and always called her Madam, and Jiang Hao did not correct them.

When Butler Liu and the others saw Jiang Hao coming back, they all bowed and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis! Congratulations, Lord Marquis!"

Jiang Hao's life was legendary. He was promoted to general in the court as a rebel and was granted the title of marquis in just a few years.

"Congratulations." Jiang Hao sat on the main seat. "What would a normal man do if he wanted to win the favor of his beloved?"

Everyone immediately started offering suggestions. "Usually, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Let the parents make the decision and send the matchmaker to propose marriage. If the girl agrees, then they'll get married."

But Jiang Hao's parents died early and he has no brothers or sisters.

If his parents were still alive, he would not have gone to the point of recognizing a thief as his father, and he would not have become such a notorious person.

Among everyone present, only Butler Liu knew the most about Jiang Hao's affairs, while the others were still talking about them.

Butler Liu immediately spoke up, "But the matter between the Marquis and his wife...can no longer be handled in the usual way. Lord Song will definitely not agree to it easily."

Song Anlan is now rich and powerful, and no longer allows himself to be threatened by Jiang Hao as he did before.

What's more, Jiang Hao likes the other person's sister now, so he can only be manipulated. How could he dare to threaten her?

It’s too late to regret the sins you committed in the past.

I just want to change the bad impression as soon as possible.

Some people said, "Lord Song is difficult to deal with. It's best to start with his wife."

"When the Madam divorced the Marquis, it was done so respectably and she even gave him quite a bit of money. If nothing else, there must have been some affection between them!"

"Why don't you learn from Lord Gu, my Lord? For a man, his reputation is not as important as his wife. As long as he can win the beauty, what does it matter if he suffers a little grievance?"

Everyone was talking at once, and some even started giving Jiang Hao bad advice, asking him to use all means to secretly seduce Song Wan'er, to establish a relationship with her privately first, and then work his way up step by step. It might take a little time, but it would work.

No matter how difficult Song Anlan is to deal with, if Song Wan'er becomes pregnant, will he still refuse to acknowledge their Marquis as his brother-in-law?

Jiang Hao couldn't help but frown when he heard this and said, "Don't you have any fair and honest ideas in your head?"

"Light, bright, upright, big?"

Everyone was perplexed when they heard this. "My Lord, haven't we always used any means necessary to achieve our goals? How can we ever be fair and just?"

"I see. The Marquis is a Marquis now! He will definitely not do things as carelessly as before!"

"But for us, it's easy to think of sinister ideas, but this upright idea... I'm afraid we can't think of it even if we rack our brains."

When Jiang Hao heard this, he was so angry that he almost picked up the teacup and hit someone. Seeing this, everyone quickly shut up.

Butler Liu said quickly, "Madam is extremely intelligent. If the Marquis attempts to approach her again, it will definitely backfire. We must come openly and honestly now."

When Jiang Hao heard what Butler Liu said, his expression softened slightly. "You think so too?"

"The Marquis must have his reasons for doing this." Butler Liu lowered his voice and asked him, "The Marquis came back so late, did he go to the Song residence to secretly visit his wife?"

Jiang Hao gave him a look that said, "You already know the answer but still ask."

Butler Liu couldn't think of a good idea at the moment, so he suggested to Jiang Hao, "Prime Minister Gu is not only a high-ranking official, but also has a beautiful woman. However, he must have some unknown top-level methods and powerful methods in this matter. You might as well ask Prime Minister Gu for his advice."

Several confidants immediately echoed, "The civil servants simply have more methods and tactics than we do."

Jiang Hao thought of someone as introverted and low-key as Yuzhu, who actually presented the embroidered ball to Gu Yuanjia at the palace banquet, sealing their lifelong love in front of them. He had to admit, "Gu Yuanjia... is indeed amazing."
