Chapter 225 You Can't Force Me

Xie Tianyou slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Lingzhao pitifully with red eyes.

He choked up and said, "I want to leave, I want to go back to the palace, is that ok, Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Lingzhao shook his head again, "No, regarding whether you can enter the house and become your sister Yuan Wei's concubine, we have to solve it once and for all today, don't drag it out."

He pushed Xie Tianyou, whose face was full of resistance, into the room.

When Xie Tianyou was about to run out of the door in panic again, he closed both doors.

Xie Tianyou pulled the door hard, but Xiao Lingzhao was pulling it from the outside. He couldn't move the God of War at all. After trying several times and seeing that the door didn't move at all, he could only give up in despair.

On the bed, Shen Yuanwei looked at the dejected Xie Tianyou and called out softly.

"Ayou."

Xie Tianyou choked up and responded, "Yeah."

Shen Yuanwei said again, "Come here, I want to talk to you."

Xie Tianyou wiped his tears, took heavy steps, and obediently walked towards the bed.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Yuanwei, and his tear-stained face reflected in Shen Yuanwei's eyes.

Shen Yuanwei also felt a little reluctant.

Who would have the heart to hurt such a good child? But it was even more impossible for her to hurt Xiao Lingzhao.

People are divided into close and distant relatives. It is impossible for her to drag her feet and not explain things clearly just to protect the person in front of her, causing the person next to her to be wronged and sad.

Shen Yuanwei motioned for Xie Tianyou to sit down.

In silence, Shen Yuanwei pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Ayou, I've thought about it. Maybe I was too tactful that day, which made you still have hope in me. Let's talk it out today."

"I'm really grateful that you like me. Really, for a boy as good as you, it's an honor for any girl to be liked by you—"

"But I'm not right for you. I already have someone I like. I can't reciprocate your feelings. I'm sorry."

"You know, I already have a very good husband. He has taken care of you during the past four years at the border. You know how kind, tolerant, gentle and considerate he is, right?"

"He is so good and devoted to me. He has never looked at other women. He is worthy of my undivided love. So I want to tell you that I will not accept anyone else. I am content with him."

"I will not divorce him, I will not take a concubine, and I will not keep a mistress. I just want to grow old with him. I don't want other girls to destroy our relationship, and I will not allow other boys to destroy our relationship and hurt him."

"Ayou, do you understand?"

“…”

Xie Tianyou lowered his head, tears falling from his eyes.

He understood.

But he didn't want to understand at all.

He really likes Sister Yuan Wei, and he wants to spend his life with Sister Yuan Wei. In order to fulfill his wish, he even gives up his status as a prince and is willing to be a concubine. Why doesn't Sister Yuan Wei want him?

He looked at Shen Yuanwei with tearful eyes and choked up.

"Sister, there are so many people who like you, you can have three wives and four concubines. Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't you?"

"If you like Brother Xiao, just be good to him. I won't compete with him for favor. I can quietly follow you and be an invisible person. If you don't want to see me, I will stay in my own yard and help you take care of the children. Really, I won't act like a demon. I just want to be your family member and stay by your side for the rest of my life..."

He choked with tears.

"Sister, I don't have any bad intentions, I just don't want to leave you..."

"It was you who brought me out of the darkness, it was you who cured my illness, I like being with you, I am afraid to leave you, I really can't leave you..."

"I can't bear to think about how I will live without you in the future. I will die, Sister Yuan Wei..."

Shen Yuanwei could understand the little prince's fear of separation.

When it has become a habit for one person to be with another, separation is indeed a painful thing.

It's heart-wrenching just to think that there will be no trace of that person in my life from now on.

But who has never experienced separation in his life?

Everyone has experienced pain, but hasn’t everyone gotten through it?

Ayou can get through it too.

The reluctance you feel now is only temporary. After abstaining from food for a few months, you will be able to get out of the sadness.

Shen Yuanwei handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe his tears.

"Ayou, you were a patient before, I had to keep you by my side to help you heal and get better. Now that you are cured and a normal person, you should live a normal life again. You can't keep following me around—"

"Look around you, who would live his whole life just for one woman?"

"I know you've been accustomed to being by my side for the past few years. You won't be able to adapt to being away from me for a while. You feel so painful just thinking about it. This is normal. Every one of us feels this way when we experience separation. We all go through this. You just need to hold on a little longer."

"In two months, you will soon find that there are many more beautiful people and things in this world waiting for you to discover. You will find that the absence of Shen Yuanwei will not hinder your life at all."

Xie Tianyou shook his head desperately.

Tears flew as he shook his head.

He covered his ears and refused to listen.

"I won't listen, I won't leave, I don't want to leave my sister, I can't adapt at all, I will die, I will die, sister!"

He looked at Shen Yuanwei with red eyes.

"Sister, you are so cruel. Why can't you keep me? If you don't want me to be your concubine, then I will follow you and Brother Xiao like before, okay? As long as I don't leave you, I can be anything, anything..."

Shen Yuanwei shook her head and smiled helplessly.

"Ayou, if you have no other thoughts about me, it would be no problem to keep you by my side. The general's mansion is rich, and I have my own salary. We can afford to support you. But you have such feelings for me. If I keep you by my side, what will my husband and my children think?"

"Put yourself in his shoes. I cannot accept that my husband keeps a woman who is interested in him in the mansion and keeps her around me all day long, looking at him lovingly at every turn. I would feel offended and uncomfortable."

"Similarly, I can't keep a man who is interested in me by my side. I can't annoy him or let him suffer any injustice. Do you understand?"

Outside the door.

Xiao Lingzhao, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He knew that his Yuan Wei was a good wife worthy of his lifelong companionship.

The two children had already come to the yard. Seeing him eavesdropping, they tiptoed to the door, squatted at his feet and eavesdropped.

Looking up, they saw Xiao Lingzhao smiling and they scratched their heads with a confused look on their faces.

What's so funny about this? Mother didn't tell any jokes. Why was Uncle Xiao laughing so trivially, as if he had picked up some great treasure?

In the room.

How happy Xiao Lingzhao is, how desperate Xie Tianyou is.

He looked at Sister Yuan Wei, who was indifferent and refused to keep him, and cried so hard that his body was shaking.

He said, "Sister Yuan Wei, I suddenly feel that what my mother said is right—"

When Shen Yuanwei heard Queen Mother Jiang, her heart immediately skipped a beat.

That old witch is not a good person!

She asked quickly, "What did your mother say?"

Xie Tianyou said, "My mother said that you must drive me away. What can I do? I can't imprison you..."

He looked at his hands and murmured, "Do I really have to lock you up?"

Shen Yuanwei almost jumped up in fright!

Ahhh, that old witch, the Queen Mother, is really not a good person!

Ayou is such a simple and kind person, but this damn old witch secretly instigated Ayou to play the yandere and force love!
