Soon, the city gate was crowded with people. Cen Xi lifted the curtain to peek out and said:
"Let's let them go first, otherwise we'll be stuck in traffic too."
"Alright, Fengqin, pull the BMW over to the side."
Shen Jinchen thought the same thing, so he spoke to Feng Qin, who was driving the Moore carriage outside.
"good!"
Fengqin responded and then quickly pulled the carriage to the side.
After moving aside, Cen Xi thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well lift the curtain and take a look at what weddings were like in ancient times.
So, I stuck my head out to look.
But as soon as Cen Xi saw it, she regretted it. Oh my god, she even saw an acquaintance. How could they pick such a good day? Today happens to be Wen Qihe's wedding day.
Just as her face was turning ugly, the curtain of the carriage carrying the bride was suddenly lifted, and Wen Qihe, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, stepped down and walked directly towards their carriage.
Cen Xi immediately pulled her head back and said to Shen Jinchen:
"Wen Qihe is here. I think he's still up to no good and has his eye on you. What does he have to say to you at this time?"
"Won't she find out when she gets here? She's jealous. If she's jealous, then she should just marry me sooner, okay?"
Shen Jinchen glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips.
"You always manage to bring up that topic, no matter what. Since you want me to marry you so badly, then you should go and ask my parents for my hand in marriage. If they agree, I'll agree too, how about that?"
Cen Xi's lips curled up, her smile a little awkward, but anyone with eyes could tell that she was a bit uncomfortable.
"If my parents-in-law are no longer alive, do I have to go to the underworld to propose marriage?"
Shen Jinchen chuckled and patted her head.
"If you can go, that's fine too! As long as they agree, I'll marry you."
Chen Xi had barely finished speaking when Wen Qihe stopped beside their carriage and interrupted, saying:
"Prime Minister Shen, may I see you?"
"No, if you're going to get married, then marry properly. Don't spend your days fantasizing about people you shouldn't be fantasizing about."
Shen Jinchen sat in the carriage, put his arm around Cen Xi's waist, and then spoke coldly.
"What...what's wrong with me? Why are you treating me like this?"
Wen Qihe felt a little embarrassed by such a blunt rejection.
"What does your well-being have to do with me? We have no marriage agreement and no affection between us. I really don't understand, Miss Wen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Jinchen was clearly annoyed when he saw that he was still going to be questioned.
“I… our Wen family is dependent on you. You will eventually get that position, so why can’t you tolerate a woman like me who admires you?”
Wen Qihe was slapped in the face like this, and her body suddenly stopped, but she was still unwilling to accept it and finally asked the question that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.
"It seems the Wen family is very lenient with you, Wen Qihe! If you don't want to live an embarrassing life in your husband's family, I now order you to disappear from my sight immediately. If you utter such inappropriate words again, you won't see the sun tomorrow. You should know your place."
Shen Jinchen was truly enraged this time, so he spoke without any politeness, his tone as cold as frost.
"I……"
Wen Qihe was so reprimanded by Shen Jinchen that she suffered a mental breakdown and could no longer speak.
"Fengqin, pull this woman away. Let's go first."
With a gloomy expression, Shen Jinchen spoke angrily to the people outside.
"yes!"
Feng Qin's expression was also unpleasant. He gave Wen Qihe an unfriendly look, then flicked his whip and pulled her aside.
Then he cracked the whip again, and their carriage quickly left the city gate.
The two remained silent on the way, their good mood completely ruined by Wen Qihe.
Cen Xi seemed to have also learned some things she shouldn't know, but she didn't want to ask. Her mission was only to deal with Emperor Taizu Yan Shengxiao, and what others wanted to do was none of her business.
When they arrived at the foot of Feifeng Mountain, neither of them had exchanged a single word.
Cen Xi was about to get out of the car when Shen Jinchen grabbed her and asked:
"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
No, why?
Cen Xi pretended not to know anything and asked with a blank expression.
"Don't you want to ask Wen Qihe what the meaning of her last sentence was?"
Shen Jinchen grabbed her, asking with extremely complicated feelings.
"It has little to do with me, why should I ask? Let's go, let's go up the mountain, I still want to see the surprise you have for me."
Cen Xi smiled at her, not wanting to discuss the topic he wanted to talk about.
"Me! You really don't want to know?"
Shen Jinchen looked at the woman in front of him with a sense of helplessness. He had never felt so adrift before. This woman didn't care about anything about him, and he was a little panicked.
"You are you, and I am me. We are two individuals. You have your experiences and background, and I have my freedom and carefree attitude. Whether I love you, like you, or even just desire your body, it's all between you and me. What do other people's opinions or your past have to do with it? Why are you so hung up on it?"
"My life motto is to live in the present, let the past go, and let the future pass by. So why should I know so much? You are just you."
"Hurry up, didn't you say there were hot springs? I've been looking forward to this for so long."
Cen Xi glanced at him with a smile, thinking that this person was overthinking things. It's nothing, why think so much? Be careful not to overwork yourself to death.
"Is that really what you think? You don't ask a single question about my affairs? Do you really love me?"
Shen Jinchen was somewhat bewildered by her words. Although Cen Xi kept saying she loved him, he never inquired about his secrets. He always felt that Cen Xi didn't hold much importance in his heart.
"Why should I concern myself with your affairs? Asking so many questions would only cause me trouble. As long as we're happy, that's all that matters. I love you, I love you so much. I even crave your body. Don't even mention if I were someone as good-looking as you in the past, I would have been infatuated with you too."
"Let's go! My dear Shen Xiang, if you keep ruining my excitement, I won't love you anymore. I'll dump you and find another handsome man."
After careful consideration, Cen Xi realized that she really didn't want to delve into Shen Jinchen's secrets.
If I get in her way in the future, we can simply part ways and never see each other again.
She's currently attracted to him, loves him, and cherishes him, but she believes in the law that dopamine secretion is finite, and they'll eventually grow tired of each other. By then, she won't like him as much anymore, so why bother asking so many unnecessary questions and making herself miserable?
"Don't even think about it! You'll always belong to me alone."
Seeing that she still had such thoughts, Shen Jinchen was immediately angry. When would this woman ever truly put him in her heart?
Love isn't something she can just say; it's not something she can do.
After saying this, Shen Jinchen couldn't help but pull her into his arms and bite Cen Xi's lips to prove his anger.
