Su Qian: "I want a lot of things, but so far, this is what I want most."

She wanted to leave that man-eating den of tigers and wolves, she wanted freedom, she wanted to realize the value of her life, and there were many other things she wanted, although she couldn't list them all.

But she knew that none of this was what she wanted.

"Why?"

Su Qian was a little anxious, "Why do you keep asking why?"

If you can agree, agree. If you can’t agree, don’t force it.

Lu Huan took a big step forward, his face not looking good. "Tell me why. If you can convince me, I'll agree to it."

Su Qian was excited but also a little confused, "Really!?"

"You didn't lie to me."

Lu Huan twitched his lips in self-mockery, "Why would I lie to you?"

Su Qian: “…”

Lu Huan retracted his smile, walked to the table with a stern face and sat down.

He had come here in a good mood, but Su Qian felt that he was a little depressed at the moment. However, she couldn't care less. The most important thing was to convince him.

"Have you ever thought about the people of Nanchang? They have been citizens of Nanchang for generations. Once they were occupied by foreigners, they were forced to live under their rule..."

Lu Huan interrupted her expressionlessly, "I haven't thought about it."

Su Qian made up a story, "Actually, I met a little girl a few days ago. She said her father was killed by the Fengyuan people, and she..."

Lu Huan: "Not interested."

Su Qian: “…”

She exhaled heavily. She had said it against her conscience, and he had interrupted her repeatedly. She really couldn't go on.

Lu Huan: "You came to me disguised as a man and gave me advice. It seems that you also wanted me to drive the Fengyuan people back to their homeland."

"Why, do you hate the people of Fengyuan? Do you have a grudge against them?"

Only in this way could he explain why she didn't want to marry Yan Xuanye, why she gave him advice on how to deal with Yan Xuanye, and why she wanted him to do so.

Su Qian took a deep breath and began to ramble, "Yes, I have a blood feud with them, but I can't tell you what the specific hatred is."

"Anyway, you said you could fulfill one of my requests. My request is that you protect Nanchang State and send Yan Xuanye... and the rest of the Fengyuan people back home."

She didn't say the word "beat". In fact, every word she said was not what she really wanted in her heart.

Yan Xuanye was very good to her, and up to now, she could not point out any faults of Yan Xuanye.

If you want to blame someone, blame that stupid system. It’s a villain system that runs away after giving it a task.

If she wants to return to the modern era, she must betray Yan Xuanye, abandon his sincerity and trample on his sincerity.

In fact, she didn't want this to happen, but it was a mistake for her to travel through time and space to this era! She wanted to correct this mistake and not let it continue.

I'm sorry... Yan Xuanye, this time I have failed you and let you down. I'm very sorry.

The air seemed to be frozen. The two people had their own thoughts and requests, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing. Su Qian had a hunch that he would not agree. Perhaps he was just joking, just teasing her like teasing a cat or a dog, and had no intention of really fulfilling her wish.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that Su Qian felt that Cuiwei was about to push the door open at the next moment, but there was still silence on the other side of the door.

Su Qian: "Since you haven't made up your mind yet, why don't you go back and think about it first..."

Lu Huan suddenly moved closer to her, pinched her chin with his big hand, and said coldly, "I'm going to ask you a question. If you can answer it to my satisfaction, I'll agree to your request."

She said eagerly, "You tell me."

Lu Huan paused for a moment, "Do you love Yan Xuanye?"

Su Qian's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and she was shocked, with all kinds of guesses coming to her mind.

Could it be... that he is jealous?

Could it be that he really started to care about her? Otherwise, why would he ask her this question?

Do you love Yan Xuanye?

Su Qian had thought about this question before.

The answer is no love, but there is a feeling of liking.

Yan Xuanye had too many firsts with her.

It was the first time she had a meal with a man of the opposite sex, the first time she sat on the lap of a man of the opposite sex, the first time she slept with a man of the opposite sex, and her first kiss with him gave her the first wonderful feeling in her life.

It was the first time someone let her hunt, made a cloak out of red fox fur for her, barbecued for her, and vented her anger for her.

For the first time, someone truly cared about her and took care of her in every possible way. For the first time, someone gave her real companionship, protection, and respect for her opinions.

She was taken care of both physically and mentally, no matter how big or small.

To him, each of these things may be just a small gesture, but to her, it is the most precious warmth in these eighteen years.

Lu Huan gritted his teeth and said, "You hesitated?"

Su Qian was really hesitant. Was it more important to return to the modern era or to admit her feelings?

Two choices were placed before her. At this moment, she really felt that she was so selfish and disgusting. She was not worthy of the title of "Goddess" at all. She was not that noble and sacred.

Perhaps it was also related to Yan Xuanye's expectations, and she also intended to be a "goddess".

Over time, she forgot that she was not a goddess at all.

What had she been living for the past 18 years? She had been living the most miserable, pathetic life of any unfortunate person! Poor thing!

She also longed for a goddess to save her, so she disguised herself as a goddess.

Hoping to escape from the days of the past, she pretended that she had been liberated and redeemed, and that her soul had been sublimated and she had become the supreme goddess.

But she is not.

Her palms were slightly damp, and her heart felt cold.

She had never imagined that Lu Huan would ask this question, nor had she thought that she would hesitate.

Say it! Say you don’t love Yan Xuanye!

Then he will agree to you, and maybe you can go back after some time!

Su Qian tapped her palm hard with her nails, forcing herself to say, "I don't love you."

Lu Huan looked at her with cold eyes, seeing her full of flaws. "You hesitated for a long time just now."

He pressed, "Su Zhao, do you love him?"

Su Qian was afraid that he would regret it, so she said anxiously, "No, I don't love Yan Xuanye!"

"Then why did you hesitate for so long?"

Her mind was spinning quickly again, and she blurted out without even thinking, "He treats me very well, in every way. When you asked me just now, I thought of all the things he's done for me. It would be a lie to say I'm not touched at all. I'm grateful to him, but it's not because I love him."

Lu Huan said "Oh" in a long voice, "So that's how it is?"

"So, can you agree to my request?!"

Just as Su Qian finished speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open...
