After the passion, two smooth bodies were entangled together on the messy bed. An Tingyu leaned on Jing Aotian's chest with an unstable breath, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"You are a genius at making a man fall asleep right after we do it." An Tingyu stretched out her hand to trace his eyebrows, nose, and thin lips. Although she complained, there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

Someone who hadn't had a good rest for a whole month, let alone Jing Aotian, she hadn't had a good rest in that month either. Because Xiao Yunxi had some complications, she had been worried that his condition would worsen. After all, this era was different from the modern era, and there was no advantage in the use of medication.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunxi is alive and well, but the man is really exhausted, both mentally and physically.

"Go to sleep! I'll stay with you." An Tingyu smiled softly, closed her eyes, and fell asleep with him.

An Tingyu didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, it was sunset and the person next to her was still sleeping soundly with a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Did you have a good dream?" Looking at the corners of his smiling lips, An Tingyu murmured and smiled too. But the next moment, her smile froze on her lips, because the man who was so affectionate with her not long ago actually called out another person's name -

"Chen'er..."

An Tingyu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. As far as she knew, Chen'er was the daughter of Jing Aotian's aunt. Her full name was Lian Chen'er, and she was Jing Aotian's cousin. This was the third time she heard this name. The first time was when Jing Qingwu told her, and the second time was when Jing Aotian was talking to Yang Qingwei. However, she didn't expect that the third time would be on her bed.

I have heard Jing Qingwu say before that Jing Aotian and Lian Chener had a very good relationship. When Lian Chener passed away, Jing Aotian was sad for a long time. He thought it was just the relationship between cousins, but is the name he calls out in his dreams just as simple as family affection?

A man who said he loved her but was thinking about another woman. An Tingyu didn't know how to describe her current mood. If she was living in heaven the moment before, then at this moment she was thrown into hell.

She even felt that this man might not love her at all. Otherwise, why didn't he admit what happened to Xi'er and what had happened between them? He kept saying that he loved her, but in his heart he was thinking about other women. What kind of mood or purpose was he in approaching her?

…

Time passed quietly, and when Jing Aotian woke up, it was already dark. He reached out to feel around, but found that the person next to him had left at some point.

Jing Aotian quickly put on his clothes, but when he was about to look for An Tingyu, he found An Tingyu sitting expressionlessly in a chaise longue in a dim corner.

"Yu'er..."

"You should go back!" An Tingyu interrupted him, her indifferent voice a little hoarse, not sure if it was because of the winter cold or because her heart was trembling.

Jing Aotian thought An Tingyu was just being shy. He walked gracefully to her side, hugged her gently, and said with a happy smile: "No, it's getting dark. I won't go back today. Also, tomorrow I will go to the palace to ask your grandfather and your father for marriage. I want to marry you as soon as possible!"

Finally, she nodded. There were so many men around her who were eyeing her covetously, so he didn't want to delay it any longer. The sooner the marriage took place, the better!

"What I mean is that you can leave here and never come back." An Tingyu was extremely indifferent, and a cold aura emanated from her whole body.

"You...what did you say?" Jing Aotian took a step back and looked at her in disbelief. "Is there something I didn't do well enough? Or do you have any other conditions?"

Everything was fine before she woke up. Not only did she actively approach him, she also agreed to his proposal. But in the blink of an eye, she actually asked him to leave and never come again. Could it be...

Before she could speak, Jing Aotian added, "Or do you regret it?"

"If you think so, then think so!" An Tingyu turned her face away, unwilling to look at that handsome face again. It might hurt, but a long pain is better than a short pain. She was a proud woman, and she couldn't stand the fact that he loved 'someone else' in his heart. So even if they were forced to be together now, they might only hurt and hate each other in the future, and she didn't want to face that result.

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you? I don't accept such a ridiculous reason. Tell me, did I do something wrong? Can't I change?" Jing Aotian stepped forward, squatted in front of her, holding her little hand tightly, with pleading in his eyes.

An Tingyu looked back at her, smiling but hardened her heart, "You didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who was wrong. It was only after sleeping with you that I realized I didn't love you, so we can only go this far."

Hearing this, Jing Aotian smiled, a somewhat sad smile. He suddenly pulled An Tingyu up from the chaise longue and shouted angrily: "What do you think of me? What do you think of yourself? How could you do this to me?"

After having sex, you realize you don’t love him?

Is there any reason more cruel and heartless than this?

But why should he compromise? Why should he accept such an excuse? Now that they had come this far, she couldn't just kick him away.

An Tingyu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Facing the silent An Tingyu, Jing Aotian felt a chill in his heart. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and resumed his usual proud demeanor. He looked so handsome and proud, and his tone was so light, but the words he spoke were so cold. "I'm telling you, whether you agree or not, tomorrow I will announce to the world that Xi'er is my son and you are my woman. I will also find an auspicious day to marry you. If you dare to run away, I will take back the power I gave you. You are just an ordinary nineteenth concubine. Not only will you be hunted down for deceiving the four countries, you can't save Old Master An and An Chengxiang, so if you don't want them to die, just listen to me."
