Chapter 173 Risking It All
The three days of the agreed time passed quickly, but Ye Lingchen had not yet thought of a reply.
What should he do? What should I do?
Is it really like Yue Cen said? But they are all men...
If I refuse...what about the responsibility he promised?
When he thought of Yue Cen pretending to be unconcerned despite being wronged, he felt like a complete loser!
Although he did not think that he had a noble character, he was definitely not a morally corrupt person and he would not do such a despicable thing!
That’s all!
Ye Lingchen gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
Isn't it just marrying a man? He risked his life!
If Yue Cen, the king of a country, can accept it, what else does he, a prince, have to worry about!
Ye Lingchen stood up abruptly, with determination not only on his face but also from head to toe.
He clenched his fists and looked determined, as if he was going to die.
He was going to find Yue Cen right now, and Ye Lingchen walked towards the door.
Just as he reached the door, the palace door suddenly opened, and Yue Cen, whom he was looking for, was at the door.
Ye Lingchen was stunned for a moment. The determination he had just made disappeared for the most part the moment he saw Yue Cen.
"Prince Ning is going out?" Yue Cen came back to his senses from his daze and asked in a seemingly unintentional but somewhat nervous tone.
Ye Lingchen paused, then lowered his head guiltily: "No, no."
After a moment of silence, he added, "I just felt a little bored staying in the house, and wanted to go out for a walk."
Yue Cen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, "I'll accompany you."
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Lingchen was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Yue Cen's hand. He wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he agreed inexplicably: "Okay..."
He walked out of the door, and when he passed Yue Cen, he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw that Yue Cen was also looking at him.
Ye Lingchen was startled, and hastily retracted his gaze, quickening his pace and walking forward.
Not long after, he heard footsteps behind him. Yue Cen was tall and had long legs, and he walked up to him in just a few steps.
He thought Yue Cen would overtake him soon, and was still hesitating whether to speed up. However, after Yue Cen caught up with him, she actually slowed down and kept side by side with him.
Ye Lingchen was a little surprised. Was Yue Cen deliberately cooperating with him?
He didn't quite believe it, so he deliberately slowed down his pace, while observing Yue Cen's steps with his peripheral vision.
Yue Cen actually paused, and his foot, which was originally about to land farther away, was suddenly retracted halfway and landed at the same level as him.
Ye Lingchen was terrified. He still couldn't believe it and suddenly quickened his pace.
He looked at Yue Cen again. Although he did not speed up, he increased his pace and still kept side by side with him.
At this moment, Ye Lingchen suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He didn't like this feeling, as if his heart was out of his control and no longer belonged to him.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, damn Yue Cen, why did she cooperate with him?
What does he mean by doing this!
Not satisfied with just complaining, Ye Lingchen glared at Yue Cen angrily.
Yue Cen happened to see it out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.
He turned his head, stared at Ye Lingchen, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why is Prince Ning looking at me like this?"
Ye Lingchen's glare was inexplicable to begin with, and it was even more embarrassing to be discovered by the person involved.
He hastily looked away and said guiltily, "Nothing."
Yue Cen did not ask any further questions, but just smiled. After a moment, he spoke again: "Prince Ning said before that he needed three days to consider. Today... I am here to ask for a reply..."
After saying that, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen was so frightened that he stopped walking. His heart started beating "bang! bang! bang!" as if it was stimulated.
After a while, he turned around, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Yue Cen.
"This king..." He couldn't continue after saying two words, as if his tongue was tied.
He was also very depressed. He had made up his mind just now, so why did he fail at the critical moment?
"I..." He tried again, but his throat seemed to be blocked before he could say a word.
How could he be so useless! Ye Lingchen couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Yue Cen's expression gradually changed from anticipation to calmness, followed by a hint of disappointment and self-mockery that he had known it would be like this.
"I understand..." Yue Cen said with a wry smile, "Prince Ning, there is no need to say anything."
Seeing this scene, Ye Lingchen's heart suddenly tightened, as if he was suddenly stabbed by a knife, and he had to curl up.
The next moment, his entire chest felt stuffy, as if it was filled with water, and he felt so uncomfortable that he had difficulty breathing...
What's wrong with him? Why does it feel so bad?
Especially when he saw Yue Cen slowly turning around and about to leave him, he felt so uncomfortable that he seemed to be losing control.
"You misunderstood!" he suddenly shouted, "I agree to marry you!"
After he roared, the water that was blocking his chest immediately found an outlet and flowed away in the blink of an eye.
My breathing suddenly became smoother and no longer uncomfortable.
Yue Cen paused for a moment before she turned back and looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"
Because of excitement, he hurriedly grabbed Ye Lingchen's hand and held it tightly.
Ye Lingchen's face instantly became hot, but he still nodded: "Yeah."
"Lingchen!" Yue Cen was so excited that she immediately hugged Ye Lingchen into her arms.
He was really excited. Although everything was under his control, he couldn't control himself when he heard Ye Lingchen say it himself.
Ye Lingchen was so frightened that his handsome face turned pale, and he subconsciously raised his hands to push Yue Cen away.
But on second thought, he has already agreed to marry her, so it is normal for them to have physical contact.
So, the hand that was originally going to push Yue Cen slowly let go.
But I still feel a little uncomfortable, after all, they are both men, hugging each other like this is really...
In desperation, he had to close his eyes and pretend not to see it!
What he didn't know was that all his little thoughts and actions were seen by Yue Cen.
Yue Cen hugged Ye Lingchen tighter, curled the corners of her mouth, and asked: "Lingchen, do you plan to marry me, or marry me?"
Ye Lingchen got goosebumps when he was called "Lingchen". His handsome face twitched and he replied, "Well... I need to discuss this with my brother..."
After all, he is the prince of the Ye Kingdom. Every move he makes represents the reputation of the Ye Kingdom. He dare not make decisions easily.
However, no matter whether he gets married or not, he will probably become famous in the Night Country.
Maybe, he would become a "famous" figure in the history of the Night Country...
The thought of this made him feel overwhelmed.
Why! All this is caused by drinking. He really needs to quit drinking in the future.
Yue Cen was not in a hurry and replied with a smile: "Okay, I will tell the Regent when the time comes."
Ye Lingchen did not refuse. He hoped that Yue Cen would say it because he really didn't know how to start the conversation, and he didn't know how Ye Linghan would laugh at him.
Why! What is going on?
