The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.
Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...
Chapter 346: Two lifetimes, no more regrets
Yan Xingchuan squatted down and looked at her at eye level, his eyes full of seriousness.
"Would you please stay?"
Cui Si felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then she calmed down again.
She is not a teenage girl who can be coaxed into losing her way by a man's sweet words. She always knows where she stands and what kind of life she wants to live.
She felt sorry for him, so she had to give in, but who could feel sorry for her?
His feelings for her were real, but it was also true that he had no choice. Moreover, how long could feelings last? He always had his own way to go, and she just wanted to live her life quietly and peacefully.
Spend more time with your grandmother and help her raise your child.
As for him, just as she said, when she missed him she could go to him, and when he missed her he could come to her, and they could be together and both be free.
She reached out and touched his face, and said to him: "I've said before that we can be together when we want to be together, and separate when we want to separate. I want to live a happier life and follow my heart. If I don't want to, you can't force me."
Yan Xingchuan was speechless: "How can this be forced?"
Cui Si nodded: "I know you are discussing with me, requesting, and hoping, but if I don't want to, then your request will be meaningless."
Yan Xingchuan was stunned, pursed his lips, but couldn't say anything.
Seeing him look so pitiful, Cui Si felt a little soft-hearted and advised him, "You don't have to think too much. When I miss you, I will come to you. If you miss me, you can also come to me, right?"
"Besides, this separation is only temporary. When you conquer the world and no longer have to fight wars everywhere, won't we be able to be together forever? If you don't leave then, I will definitely not drive you away."
"If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?"
"We don't see each other day and night, so how can we stay together forever?" Yan Xingchuan pursed his lips, his heart still empty, but what she said did make sense, and it comforted him a little.
"I can't keep you here, right?" He wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Cui Si said to him, "If I want to see you, I will come to see you from thousands of miles away. If you want to see me, you will come to see me from thousands of miles away. When we are together, we will be happy together. If we must part, let us bless each other, okay? This is my choice."
"But my words are eternal. If you don't marry me, I won't marry you. If you don't marry anyone else, there will always be a place for you by my side. You can always be my husband."
"Just treat it as me being willful and indulge me this time, okay?"
Yan Xingchuan was silent for a long time, then hummed softly, which was taken as his agreement.
Now that things have come to this, it's clear that she is determined. There's no point in continuing to argue with her. Instead, it will make her annoyed and unhappy, and the little friendship we have left might be gone.
However, Yan Xingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Then you can stay a few more days, just... three days will do. I'll prepare some things for you to take back. Leaving tomorrow would be too hasty, and many things won't be ready yet."
Cui Si opened her mouth to refuse, but Yan Xingchuan interrupted her again: "Since you are my wife, what's mine is yours, without distinction. If you can use it, then use it. If you can't, it's ours together. I don't have time to take care of these things, so you can take care of them for me."
Cui Si thought about it and decided not to refuse: "Okay."
Since he wants to be with her for the rest of his life, there is really no need to separate these things between you and me.
"But have you really decided not to marry someone else in the future? There are so many beautiful women in this world. You may like me now, but when you and I are older, you may like young and beautiful girls in their teens."
Yan Xingchuan leaned over and bit her lips angrily, biting quite hard.
Cui Si gasped, tears welling up in her eyes: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to wake you up." Yan Xingchuan reached out and pinched her cheek. "There's no precedent for Yan family members taking concubines, and I can't let you go."
The experiences of two lives were too bitter and painful. He felt too much guilt and too much love for her. He had no way to let her go. In addition, she could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She was even more distant from him in this life. If he did something wrong, she would abandon him. How could he dare to have any other thoughts?
And he hoped so much that the two of them could stay together until the end of their lives, grow old together, and when they were old, she would not think that being with him in this life was a mistake, and that looking back it would be all unbearable.
We have two lifetimes, so don’t have any regrets.
Compared to these, the colorful flowers and green willows outside are really nothing.
"I know that most men in this world are keen on power and money. Once they have power and money, they prefer beautiful women. Many of my subordinates have concubines, but I am different."
"As for me, when I was young, my dream was to be a dandy, with endless money to spend and endless fun to attend. Later, my wish was revenge and to be with you. These have taken up everything in me, so there is no room for anything else."
"Trust me for once and don't have to worry or be concerned, okay?"
Cui Si nodded to show that she believed him. Since he said so, she naturally believed it. After all, if he couldn't insist, the worst that could happen was that she would break up with him.
"Can we go back in three days?" he asked her again.
"Okay." Cui Si nodded again.
It's only three days, she can wait.
She just hoped he wouldn't bother her, as she really couldn't keep him company right now.
Fortunately, he probably guessed that she was not happy, so he really did nothing in the past three days. He came back to accompany her whenever he had time, and he really slept at night without any other thoughts.
On the last day of her stay in Piaomiao City, Cui Si got up to rinse her mouth and then felt a little nauseous and wanted to retch. Fortunately, she endured it and was not discovered. However, she felt listless during breakfast and had no appetite.
Seeing this, Yan Xingchuan advised again: "If you feel uncomfortable, stay for a few more days and leave when you feel better."
Cui Si turned her head to look at him: "Maybe the weather in Piaomiao City is getting hotter day by day, and I can't stand it. It will be fine when I get back."
Unable to continue the conversation, Yan Xingchuan continued, "I'll stay with you today."
"Goodbye, go and do your thing this morning. I've told Madam Tao Qu that I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll ask her to come over and sit with me today. Don't let anyone see you."
Yan Xingchuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched out his hand and twisted his eyebrows: "I am not ashamed to be seen, am I?"
Cui Si was afraid of angering him, so she immediately said, "It's not that you are ashamed, it's that we are both ashamed. I even said my last name is Yan, and they all call me Lady Yan. This is it. If we meet again in the future, we can explain it."
