Chapter 45 I Won't Marry You
Chapter 45 I Won't Marry You
Shen Tang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Pregnancy before marriage is such a huge scandal. If it gets out, not only will Wang Xi be drowned in the spittle of the capital, but the entire Wang family's unmarried daughters and unmarried sons will also be implicated.
Wang Xi clearly knew the consequences, which is why she was so panicked.
Given the current situation, the father of the child must come forward, get married as soon as possible, and put this matter aside.
Suppressing his fear, Shen Tang asked her, "Who is the father of the child? Isn't he taking responsibility?"
Wang Xi shut up and remained silent, only shedding tears in silence.
Shen Tang grew anxious: "You're still hiding it from him at this point?!"
A look of pain flashed across Wang Xi's face: "I'm not covering for him, it's just that he offered to take responsibility at first, but I refused."
Shen Tang's tone turned serious: "What exactly happened?"
Wang Xi pondered for a moment, her memory being pulled back to that chaotic night more than a month ago.
Wang Xi grew up with her father at the border, where the military camp was mostly filled with men, so it was inevitable that some risqué topics would arise.
Every time they mentioned those brothels and pleasure houses, their faces were filled with a happy and joyful expression.
So, as a little girl, she longed for this place. When she was little, she mentioned to her father that she wanted to visit a brothel, and her father caught her and gave her a severe scolding.
As I grew older, I learned what a brothel was.
Perhaps due to a childhood obsession, she still wanted to visit a brothel.
So that day, behind her father's back, she changed into men's clothing and sneaked into that brothel.
But to his surprise, he ran into that hypocrite Jiang Congyu as soon as he went inside.
Wang Xi cursed inwardly, "What bad luck! What bad luck!" She rolled her eyes at him and walked past him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Congyu suddenly grabbed her arm.
Wang Xi reacted as if she had been smeared with something dirty, abruptly pulling her hand away: "What are you doing?!"
Jiang Congyu frowned: "What are you doing in this brothel, a woman like you? Go back now."
Wang Xi scoffed, "None of your business!"
Jiang Congyu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to get angry: "This is a place for men. What kind of behavior is it for a woman like you to come here?"
Wang Xi immediately objected: "Why can you men come, but we women can't!"
"I'm here on official business, of course."
Why would he need to come to a brothel to handle official business? What a joke! She said he was just a pretentious person.
Coming to a brothel for pleasure while having to wear a facade of official business is nauseatingly hypocritical. He should openly admit that Wang Xi still respects him as a real man.
They were standing right at the entrance to the second-floor staircase, and because of their argument, many people turned their heads to look in their direction.
Wang Xi didn't want to become a monkey in the crowd, so she turned around and started to walk up.
But Jiang Congyu suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him into a room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
Wang Xi immediately exploded: "Jiang Congyu, are you sick in the head?"
Jiang Congyu considered himself to have a good temper, but now he was almost driven to the brink of madness by Wang Xi.
"Do you know how filthy brothels are, and how dangerous it is for women to go there?"
Although Wang Xi was dressed as a man, she didn't disguise herself properly at all; anyone with eyes could tell she was a woman.
Unfortunately, she had a good figure, with a full chest and a slim waist. Just a short while outside, many lewd and vulgar eyes were scanning her face and body.
But this person was completely oblivious, as if they were lacking common sense.
Wang Xi, however, didn't buy into her argument. She had martial arts skills; what danger could she possibly be in?
She retorted to him, "None of your business."
"***!" Jiang Congyu couldn't help but swear. There was no way to communicate with her, so he planned to forcibly abduct her and take her back to the Prince's mansion to be dealt with by General Wang.
When Wang Xi saw him make a move, she panicked and started fighting with him.
At first, Jiang Congyu was mindful that she was a woman and was afraid of hurting her, so he held back his strength. But when Wang Xi struggled, she was harder to hold down than a pig during the Chinese New Year.
He was completely enraged when her fist struck him in the face, and he became ruthless in his retaliation.
Little did they know that the room was filled with aphrodisiac incense. After their playful fight, they inhaled an unknown amount of the incense.
As they wrestled and struggled, the two of them ended up on the bed without even realizing it.
When I woke up the next day, it was too late to undo what had happened.
Wang Xi was covered in bruises and felt a dull ache all over her body. When she got out of bed, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Congyu reacted quickly and caught her around the waist, preventing her from falling.
Wang Xi's anger flared up instantly, and she slapped him without hesitation.
Jiang Congyu felt a little guilty when he saw the marks all over her body. Although it was an accident, he was also a victim.
But ultimately, it's the women who suffer more in this matter.
Jiang Congyu rubbed his slightly sore face and said to her, "I will inform my mother when I get home today and ask her to arrange for someone to come and propose marriage as soon as possible."
“Who wants to marry you?” Wang Xi glared at him angrily.
Jiang Congyu was also annoyed. He didn't expect that even after things had developed to this point, she was still angry with him.
Did she even realize that once a woman loses her virginity, it will be very difficult for her to get married again?
Although the people of Daliang are open-minded, losing one's virginity before marriage is more reprehensible than losing one's husband after marriage or divorcing and remarrying. Basically, no one would propose to marry such a woman.
"You've lost your innocence to me; if you don't marry me, who else can you marry?"
Wang Xi glared at him, her disgust and determination undisguised: "I, Wang Xi, would rather never marry than marry you, even if I become a nun!"
"Good, good, good! You're really great!"
"You'd better not come begging to me!" Jiang Congyu stormed off in anger, and the two parted on bad terms.
After Wang Xi returned home, her feigned indifference and bluster finally crumbled.
She was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. How could she not panic and be scared when she encountered something for the first time? During that time, she was completely lost and flustered, and she didn't even think about contraception.
By the time she realized it, the doctor said she was already more than a month pregnant.
Shen Tang knew that she disliked Jiang Congyu, but she never expected that she would dislike him to the point that she would not want to marry him even after this incident.
But now that she's pregnant, who else can she marry if not him?
"Does General Wang know about this?"
Wang Xi shook her head: "I dare not say, my father would definitely beat me to death."
Shen Tang sighed: "This can't be kept secret. We still need to tell General Wang and see how he handles it."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you. After all, you're his own daughter. No matter how angry he is, he would never really kill you."
Wang Xi remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
