"I," the little prince snapped out of his reverie, his gaze sharpening instantly. He opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.
That look in her eyes is so captivating! Despite her surprise, she managed to regain her composure so quickly, which amazed her.
"I am Hua Motian," a name popped into his mind, and the little prince blurted it out. Hmph, Hua Motian, today I'll let you taste the consequences of seducing my Wan'er.
From now on, you, Hua Motian, will be the one standing in front of this woman.
"Hua, Mo, Tian!" Qiao Mei pronounced the name word by word, touching her chin with her finger, a satisfied look on her face. "Not bad, it's a really good name!"
“I’ve told you my name now, which shows I’m sincere, but things always need a buffer. As a woman, don’t you think you’re being too arrogant? As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet. If you do this, even if you get my body, you probably won’t get my heart,” the little prince sighed and shook his head. He answered while pondering a solution.
We must find a way to rescue Wan'er first; other matters will have to be planned separately. This woman seems abnormal, but she has a very sophisticated way of doing things. I have to admit that I underestimated her.
One must use strategy to overcome obstacles, not brute force.
"So, have you thought it through? As long as you marry me, I'll release your sister and even take her to meet my father." With her hands on her hips, Qiao Mei resembled a modern-day Sun Erniang, her small eyes gleaming with smug satisfaction at having her catch. "Besides, you won't lose out! You're just a pretty boy, while I, Qiao Mei, am incredibly capable. With me around, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury, never having to worry about anything. Moreover, we can escape the hustle and bustle of the city anytime and live in a quiet environment—isn't that what those reclusive masters have always been pursuing?"
This Qiao Mei, outgoing and boisterous, is speaking very clearly now; no wonder she has cultivated such skills.
"Actually, my sister is quite beautiful, talented and good-looking. I'm so lucky to have married her." The little prince paused for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone, looking up at the woman and uttering sweet words that were not entirely sincere.
This made Qiao Mei overjoyed, her eyes sparkling. She excitedly approached the little prince, took his arm, and asked, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true, but I have a request." The little prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up, his eyes, as blue as the sea, gazing at the woman with deep affection, making her feel restless.
"Then tell me, what are the conditions?"
“Well then, since you favor me so much, let’s each compromise. You can hold off on releasing my sister for now, but I need to see her first, so she can be at ease. Also, you need to tell her where your father is, so my sister can go see him herself. After they’ve finished their business and attended our wedding banquet, send my sister out. She has things to do, so let’s not keep her from him. Once these issues are resolved, I can wholeheartedly be your man.” The little prince spoke with some emotion, extending his long arm to support Qiao Mei’s broad shoulders. “That’s just how I am; if I have something on my mind, I can’t do anything right.”
As the little prince spoke, he released his hands, stopped looking at her, and turned his back to her, as if persisting in his last act of stubbornness...
