"The first condition is that you let go of me now."
Shen Jinchen liked to pull her into his arms whenever he saw her, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did, which was so annoying.
The key point is that she has a physiological reaction whenever he touches her.
“That won’t do. People often say that quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed. You’re angry with me now, so I’ll have to work even harder to please you. So I can’t let you go. Where is your room? I’ve been running around all day, so I’ll go lie down for a bit.”
Shen Jinchen could see that Cen Xi couldn't withstand his offensive, so how could he let her go?
"Shen Jinchen, you always make decisions for me without considering my wishes. This is coercion. Do you know that we're in public, and there are people watching? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Cen Xi was filled with shame and indignation. How dare this man do this in public... just how shameless is he!
"It's alright, Fengqin will have people clear the area. In a little while, it will just be you and me in this courtyard. Qingqing, don't be shy. We haven't been together for so long, I know you've missed me a lot."
Shen Jinchen turned around, gave Feng Qin a look, then picked up Cen Xi and carried her to the most habitable room in the courtyard.
"I don't care about you! Put me down! Put me down and I might forgive you, otherwise I'll run away again."
If Shen Jinchen were to use force against her, Cen Xi would be powerless to resist, and she would likely lose face in front of everyone in the room.
The prestige she had painstakingly built up would vanish completely.
She was so angry! Right now, she really wanted to smash her head against a wall and die!
Why would she want to time travel? In her next life, and the next, and the next, she doesn't want to come to this male-dominated ancient era. Even if she has to time travel, she wants to go to a place where there are only women, preferably a matriarchal society. She wants to be a queen, she wants to control everything, not be controlled by others.
"You can only escape for a month at most, why bother? Ah-Xi, I'll listen to you from now on, and I'll try my best to respect you in my words and actions. Please stop thinking about escaping, okay?"
Shen Jinchen poured cold water on him and her, then quickly carried him into the room.
"Shen Jinchen! If you dare to use force today, I'll commit suicide again."
Cen Xi was thrown onto the bed, sat up abruptly, and pointed at Shen Jinchen, threatening him through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay! This room is too hot from the fire. I won't sleep with you, I'll just take off my clothes and go to sleep, alright?"
Shen Jinchen smiled and made a gesture of surrender, then began to pull at his clothes, slowly taking them off one by one, with a subtle seduction.
Their relationship began with physical intimacy. Shen Jinchen knew exactly how to seduce Cen Xi. She might not have truly loved him, but she was definitely not immune to his temptations.
He was certain that once he had undressed, the woman's eyes would be glued to him.
"you…!"
Cen Xi knew what he was going to do, so she quickly covered her eyes. He always used this trick, and she could never catch him off guard. She really wanted to scratch the wall.
She used to just enjoy watching and appreciating handsome men and beautiful women, but she had no fantasies about men.
And if this man just takes his clothes off like that, she's finished.
Thinking back to how she foolishly sold herself the first time, she felt endless remorse.
"You...! You...! Don't take it off!"
Cen Xi closed her eyes, trying her best to suppress the impulse in her heart, and forced herself not to look at him, and then began to roar.
"I've already taken my clothes off. This room is so stuffy, and I can see you're all sweaty too. Come on! Let me help you untie them. Don't hold it in. I know what you're thinking, Qingqing."
After undressing, Shen Jinchen got into bed and took Cen Xi's hand, placing it on his sensitive areas so she could feel how much he missed her.
He devoutly removed Cen Xi's clothes; the woman before him always held an irresistible attraction for him.
"you!"
Aroused by his hot, spicy thing, Cen Xi's face turned as red as a steamed shrimp. This man was always so lewd; he was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Ah-Xi, concentrate, be good!"
Looking into those gentle, tender eyes, warm lips landed firmly on mine. Breathing became difficult, an unbearable itch ensued, and unsurprisingly, I surrendered in an instant.
The next day, Cen Xi opened her eyes and was utterly ashamed to face anyone. She had been slept with by Shen Jinchen in someone else's house. She felt like digging a hole and crawling into it.
"woke up?"
When Shen Jinchen saw that Cen Xi had woken up, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist.
"You...! Get up quickly, we're going back to the capital. Shen Jinchen, you're a prime minister, and you've studied the classics for many years. How can you be so shameless as to do such a thing in someone else's home?"
Cen Xi sat up abruptly, her brows furrowed, looking utterly distressed.
The man in front of her had no sense of self-control whatsoever. He could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, without any regard for the occasion. Even if she had the thickest skin, she would be mortified.
"I can't help myself when you're around, Ah-Xi. Don't worry, I had Feng-Qin change the bedding last night. I also had them prepare hot water for you to wash. Rest assured, every inch of the place we're lying on is clean. It's still early, you must be tired from last night, so you should rest a bit more."
Shen Jinchen glanced at her with a hint of amusement, his rough fingertips tracing her back, before reaching out and pulling Cen Xi into the bed.
"Do you even know how to respect people? Shen Jinchen!"
Seeing that he was about to act like a scoundrel again without any explanation, Cen Xi was completely enraged. Even if she had some goodwill towards Shen Jinchen, it would be worn away in no time by him.
"Alright, I was wrong. From now on, whatever you say, my wife, will do. You didn't eat dinner last night, are you hungry? Wait here while I bring breakfast to your room to serve our princess."
Seeing that Cen Xi was furious, Shen Jinchen paused his hand that was gently stroking Cen Xi, then quickly got out of bed, dressed, and left the scene.
He knew perfectly well that he had already crossed a line, and if he didn't stop, Cen Xi would become so angry that she would fight him to the death no matter what.
This was not what he wanted to see, nor could he bear it, so he decisively chose to leave the scene.
"Ahhh!"
Seeing that the scoundrel escape from her sight like the wind, Cen Xi roared three times in a fit of rage, then collapsed back onto the bed like a corpse.
Shen Jinchen is her tribulation in this life; he is the obstacle she cannot overcome even after half a lifetime.
"Princess! Princess..."
Hearing Cen Xi venting her anger outside, Eunuch Qin was anxious to go in and find out what was going on. But he had only taken two steps when he was grabbed by two cold-looking men in black and thrown into the center of the courtyard.
The plump aunt and Su Nianniang helped him up, but they didn't dare to say a word and slunk away.
Back in the side room, the three of them were still shaken. If they had thought Cen Xi was perverted and ruthless before, then the young nobleman who came yesterday was simply a devil. He had only been here for a day, and no one in the entire Li Family Village dared to come out. It was as silent as hell, with only the howling wind daring to whistle back and forth.
