"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing Aoqian's stunned expression, Song Xiwei said to him, "You can summon them back and ask them. However, they just came to me trying to win me over to help them curry favor with you, and in the blink of an eye, you've sent them to a branch. I guess even if they see you again, they won't dare to make any more moves on you. No wonder Xiaoguozi couldn't speak properly when she saw you, and she only wrote love letters but didn't dare to give them to you. You really are quite intimidating!"
Aoqian was almost stunned by Song Xiwei's words.
After a long struggle, I finally found my voice. "Why have I never heard you mention these things before? Those..."
"What? Is Your Majesty blaming me for not telling you clearly, causing you to miss out on so many opportunities to meet potential partners?" Song Xiwei didn't think Aoqian was blaming her; she just wanted to tease him.
As expected, Aoqian quickly shook his head upon hearing this and explained to Song Xiwei, "That's not what I meant. I just never heard you mention it before, that's why..."
"Is it that I didn't want to bring this up with you? I remember I had just started to say something when you interrupted me. After that, every time I tried to bring it up, you changed the subject, either silencing me with food or talking about something else. Over time, I forgot about it. If it weren't for the little fruit incident, I wouldn't have realized that you actually thought they were all trying to seduce me. I'm so wronged! And those people you banished, they're also wronged. They just admired you, but couldn't get what they wanted, and now they're being banished. Sigh..."
Ao Qian remained silent.
Song Xiwei reached out and patted Aoqian's shoulder. "I understand your concerns. You consider me an important partner, and you're focused on revitalizing the Demon Clan right now, so you can't attend to your own feelings. Therefore, you don't want me to be distracted by personal emotions. That's why you've been wary of people who get close to me. But I've actually told you before, I don't fall in love with anyone that easily. I told you about my situation back at the Demon Flower Pool, didn't you remember?"
Aoqian naturally hadn't forgotten.
But he simply couldn't tolerate anyone who got close to Song Xiwei, no matter the reason.
Song Xiwei had long been included in Aoqian's sphere of influence; what belonged to him could not be touched by anyone else.
Even if Song Xiwei says now that those people don't have those feelings for her, Aoqian still feels that he did nothing wrong.
Of all the people who get close to her, there must be one or two who are after her.
Besides, why should she provoke Song Xiwei just because she likes him?
How could you provoke Song Xiwei with such a reason?
These people deserve to be exiled.
What if there was even a one in ten thousand chance that Song Xiwei might have feelings for him, but those people ruined it?
Wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain?
Regardless of the circumstances, these people are guilty of an unforgivable crime for provoking Song Xiwei.
Ao pondered deeply, determined to make an example of Song Xiwei, so that anyone who dared to try to get close to her in the future would think twice.
Song Xi watched helplessly as Ao Qian's gloomy aura grew stronger and stronger.
"Why did this happen all of a sudden?" Song Xiwei reached out and took Aoqian's hand, trying to soothe his emotions.
Aoqian shook his head. "It's nothing."
He said he was fine, but the gloom in his eyes didn't lessen at all.
"You're not upset because you found out that those you banished were people who had feelings for you, are you? Is being liked by someone something that makes you unhappy?" Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian's reaction was excessive.
Aoqian gave her a cold glare. "And what about you? Do you think it's a good thing to be liked by someone you don't like?"
Song Xi frowned slightly, because she thought of the gap.
It's really uncomfortable.
While Song Xiwei was lost in thought, Ao Qian looked at her intently and said in a serious voice, "I have someone I love, so I don't need anyone else's affection. I only need him, and that's enough."
