"Don't be nervous. I didn't say I hate you. I just feel that things aren't settled between us yet, so it's really inappropriate for you to say things like that to me..."
Song Xiwei still wanted Aoqian to let her go, but clearly, that wouldn't work.
Ao was keeping a very close eye on her.
Without even blinking.
It was as if he was afraid that if he blinked, he would never see her again.
"Then let's settle this quickly. If you're worried about gossip, I can live in seclusion with you, a life of one love, just you and me." Aoqian stared at Song Xiwei, his eyes gleaming, already impatient.
"The Demon Clan has finally achieved its current stability. If you ignore the Demon Clan, those enemies who previously conquered the Demon Realm will seize the opportunity to strike. All your efforts in reform over the past two years will have been in vain," Song Xiwei reminded her.
Aoqian looked at Song Xiwei seriously, "That's true. The Demon Clan is not just mine; you've also contributed your efforts and hard work."
Song Xiwei: "..."
“I can selfishly give up everything, but I can’t let your sacrifice go to waste. If that’s the case, would you be willing to marry me in Chidu? If you’re worried about gossip and don’t want to cause a commotion, we can have a closed-door wedding, without inviting outsiders, and only hold the banquet in the Demon Realm.”
Every word Aoqian spoke was extremely sincere, and he was thinking of Song Xiwei in every way.
He was afraid that Song Xiwei would reject him because of some factors.
"If you are worried about the issue of offspring and succession, then after we get married, I will train a successor as soon as possible. Once he takes over the Demon Clan and everything is stable, I will live in seclusion with you. At that time, no one will be able to gossip about offspring. It will only be you and me, and we will not need to consider anyone else."
Aoqian explained all of Song Xiwei's concerns clearly.
He stared at Song Xiwei expectantly, still waiting for her to make her demands.
No matter what it is, as long as it's something Song Xiwei minds, wants, or is worried about, he will take care of it.
As long as Song Xiwei loves him, nothing else matters to Aoqian.
I've mentioned liking her before during some free time.
But this time, when Aoqian confessed his feelings to her, she realized that things were different.
Aoqian's love was so overwhelming, and the feelings it evoked in her were so profound.
It's so different from a gap...
Perhaps it's because she only feels reverence for her family and elders when she looks away from the void.
As for Aoqian, Song Xiwei probably did have some unconscious feelings for him.
However, the fact that she is a woman...
It will forever stand between Aoqian and her.
She didn't want to deceive Aoqian, but she had also sworn not to tell him about it.
“If you have any concerns or requests, you can tell me, and I will handle them. Don’t overthink things on your own, and don’t stop liking me just because you’re afraid of trouble. I really can’t live without you. These past six months have been killing me…”
Aoqian looked at Song Xiwei with a wronged expression, as if he would cry on the spot if Song Xiwei dared to say that she didn't like him.
"..." Seeing Aoqian like this, Song Xiwei felt like crying.
Once she agrees to marry Aoqian, how can she keep her true gender a secret?
If Aoqian finds out...
How will Song Xiwei face the fact that she has kept it a secret from Aoqian for more than two years?
Moreover, she really didn't want to get married so hastily.
Love is too heavy, and feelings are too fickle.
She wasn't ready to give herself away yet.
Although Aoqian is someone she doesn't want to hurt and someone she has always protected, this is different from love.
Seeing Song Xiwei lower his eyes and avoid looking at him, Ao Qian felt a pang of panic. He reached out and lifted Song Xiwei's chin. "Song Xiwei, look me in the eyes. Don't try to run away again..."
Forced to meet Aoqian's gaze, Song Xiwei noticed that Aoqian's eyes were already brimming with tears of grievance. For some reason, she cried out before Aoqian could, her tears falling like pearls from a broken string, one after another.
Sometimes, a breakdown can happen in an instant. In that instant, she finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Why do you have to push me like this?"
