Chapter 110 Extra 3 "I have an affair with someone else..."
Yao Ning blinked and couldn't help but smile softly, revealing a bit of his white teeth: "When are you getting married?"
Seeing the woman's charming smile and serious expression, Shen Qian belatedly realized that he was a little embarrassed and at a loss. He withdrew his hand awkwardly and touched his nose. "Well, let's compare our horoscopes and choose an auspicious date nearby...how do you think?"
"good."
The decisive answer made Chen Qian even more uncomfortable. He turned his head away as if to hide his feelings, but he was completely unaware that his ears had turned red.
After a moment of silence, Yao Ning continued to ask, "When will we have the wedding night?"
Chen Qian's forced face suddenly turned completely red.
He looked at Yao Ning in panic, then quickly looked away: "This... this is of course... Hey, you're a girl, how, how..."
The more he spoke, the more flustered he found himself. Yao Ning, on the other hand, sat quietly, his expression calm, looking at him with a smile.
Yao Ning gestured to a number: "This much, wedding night tonight, deal?"
Chen Qian looked at Yao Ning, his eyes lit up at first, but soon dimmed and his expression became complicated.
Yao Ning was neither hurried nor slow, and patiently persuaded: "Is it not good? Or it's not worth it, or..."
She stood up and moved closer to him: "Still don't like it?"
Chen Qian smelled a light floral fragrance emanating from the woman's movements, which made his face flush as red as blood. He shook his head in panic, then found that this action was a bit ambiguous. He was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yao Ning, and turned sideways with his back to her.
His voice came over muffled, "My uncle said that the world of cultivation is not like the human world, where there are strict rules of obedience and virtue. Men and women are strictly separated. So, you used to... were you also like this to others?"
After saying this, before Yao Ning could reply, he hurriedly explained: "I don't mean to say anything bad about you. It's just that you are a woman, born so beautiful, and so proactive. If the other party has bad intentions and gives in half-heartedly, others will only think that you are clinging to him and won't say a word against him."
Yao Ning was stunned for a moment: "I don't care what others say."
Chen Qian turned around and said seriously, "But this is wrong. If the other person also has feelings for you, he should take the initiative, whether it's sweet talk, money, or thinking about you in everything... No matter how he woos you, you just need to sit on the altar, accept if you like him, and let him go if you don't like him... If someone has feelings for you, he will never let you go to him alone."
Yao Ning was stunned.
If he loves you, he won't make it difficult for you to get close to him.
But she quickly smiled and said, "I also have feelings for you, and I don't want to make you work hard."
This time, even Shen Qian's neck was red.
His eyes wandered around, sometimes to the golden horseshoe gold on the table, sometimes to Yao Ning. After his expression changed several times, it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
"I'm going to get married someday anyway," he thought to himself. "A rich woman like this, a marriage that comes right to me, is a lost cause. Besides, although I'm greedy, I'm not one to waver. So tonight, let's just treat it as..."
"Forget it." Yao Ning said suddenly.
Chen Qian was still immersed in self-persuasion and didn't understand for a while: "Forget it?"
Yao Ning smiled, looking at him with a gentle yet indulgent look: "I was just joking with you, don't be afraid."
Yao Ning walked past him and went out. After leaving the door, he looked back at him and said, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. You should go to bed early. I will come back tomorrow to discuss our marriage in detail."
Shen Qian didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
When he finally realized what had happened, he found that Yao Ning had disappeared long ago.
He stood there in a daze, the light falling on his handsome features, illuminating the glaring loss that he himself was not even aware of.
*
Yao Ning arrived early the next morning as he had said.
Chen Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was deeply moved by this woman whom he had only met for less than a day.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yao Ning asked.
Chen Qian had two dark circles under his eyes: "No, I slept very well."
There wasn't much to discuss about the marriage, so Yao Ning agreed to whatever Chen Qian said.
It seemed that as long as he was willing to marry her, she would be willing even without the formalities of accepting the marriage proposal or asking for the name, or holding a grand banquet to worship the heaven, earth and parents.
As a result, although Yao Ning obeyed everything, Chen Qian felt inexplicably holding his breath.
He knew that he was not angry with Yao Ning, but he didn't understand where this anger came from or who it was directed at.
In this anger, Mr. Shen, who was obsessed with money and was very particular about every penny, made a rare move and told the butler that all the etiquette must be complete and the betrothal gift must be generous. The number he said made the butler jaw drop for a long time.
"Sir, all your property..." The butler hesitated to speak.
"Isn't it enough?" Chen Qian was furious. "If it's not enough, I'll ask my uncle to borrow some more. Although my uncle is even more stingy than me, he will definitely lend me some money when it comes to marriage!"
Yao Ning didn't say a word from beginning to end, agreed with all his decisions, and looked at him with a smile, holding his chin.
The housekeeper sighed, looked at the young man whose temperament had changed drastically, and then looked at the strange woman whose identity was not even clear, and fell into suspicion for a moment.
After everything was agreed upon, Yao Ning said that her dowry was kept in the sect, and asked Chen Qian to go back with her and take the opportunity to meet her family.
Chen Qian had no objection, and the two of them soon set off.
Along the way, Yao Ning was completely obedient to Shen Qian, being considerate in every way, but he also knew the limits and never did anything to make him blush.
She obviously respected him and cared about his feelings, but Chen Qian felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or disappointed. Yao Ning was blameless, so he had to keep this strange emotion to himself.
After three or four days, the initial strangeness and awkwardness faded away, and Chen Qian felt that he and Yao Ning seemed to have known each other for many years.
He looked at Yao Ning who was peeling grapes for him: "Aning."
Yao Ning raised his head, his eyes bright: "What's wrong?"
Her voice is soft and sweet, just like a little hand, which captures people's hearts again and again.
Shen Qian's Adam's apple moved, and the inexplicable emotion in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He said expressionlessly: "I want to change the carriage, something more luxurious. This one is too cramped, and the red paint is old."
He raised his eyes and said, "Buy it for me."
Yao Ning seemed to have heard something happy and said with a smile: "Okay."
Yao Ning responded readily, but Chen Qian felt that the depression in his heart not only did not dissipate, but became more obvious.
He frowned and said, "I've changed my mind about the red jade bracelet I saw on the street yesterday. It's a bit expensive, but I can afford it if I grit my teeth. You buy it for me."
Yao Ning smiled and said, "Okay."
Chen Qian frowned: "I want to move to a house with five entrances..."
"good."
Chen Qian's expression gradually darkened.
The carriage was shaking and the compartment was narrow, so their feet were uncontrollably touching each other. He looked at Yao Ning who was so close.
This woman was truly beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains and a nose like a hanging gall bladder. She was glamorous yet aloof and otherworldly.
There was an indescribable grace in her every move.
Although she obeyed him in everything, Chen Qian knew that she would never stay in a subordinate position for long.
Why would such a person be so good to himself?
Shen Qian's doubts reached their peak, and it was no longer possible to suppress them in his heart.
"Why are you nice to me?"
Yao Ning paused, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Because you are my husband."
"Is it just because of this?" Chen Qian was confused, "We clearly, clearly..."
He always felt that he had missed something. Did he and Yao Ning really just meet for the first time on the long street that night?
It was clearly just a marriage for profit, so why did he want to get to the bottom of it?
But Yao Ning will be his wife.
Yes, no matter why he married her, she would be his wife, so it was only natural for him to be curious about his wife's motives.
Chen Qian regained his composure: "Why are you so nice to me? Even as a husband, Aning has done too much."
He gently held her hand, glanced at the scars and calluses on it, and frowned again: "Have these hands ever been so attentive to others?"
The two were very close, their breaths entwined, and there was a clear look of doubt in Chen Qian's eyes.
Yao Ning's eyelashes drooped, and he gently broke free: "In the past..."
She said with some difficulty: "I was...unkind to you in the past."
Chen Qian's breathing tightened, and various questions came to his mind. He shook his head and asked the most important question.
"Where, I'm sorry?"
Yao Ning raised her eyes, and Chen Qian saw that her eyes were red, and his heart tightened. He knew that he shouldn't force her. Anyway, he didn't know anything about the past.
His memory started from three years ago.
My uncle said that he was seriously ill, and the less he remembered and the fewer strangers he saw, the faster he would recover.
But at this moment, Chen Qian suddenly hardened his heart and did not back down at all.
"A lot." After a long while, Yao Ning slowly said, "I owe you a lot."
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then...what about the latest incident?"
Yao Ning's face turned pale, and his breathing became trembling as he looked at Chen Qian.
"I'm having an affair with someone else..." she said with difficulty, "with someone else..."
Chen Qian was stunned for a moment.
He stared at Yao Ning blankly: "Is there an affair?"
He repeated the two words, as if he was suddenly unclear about their meaning.
Yao Ning withdrew his hand and turned away.
Chen Qian squatted in front of her. From this angle, he could see her helpless and panicked profile.
Shen Qian thought, ah, there is an affair, he remembered what it meant.
He looked at the red corners of Yao Ning's eyes and thought that it was just a thing of the past and he didn't remember it. If he didn't remember it, it had nothing to do with him. He had only met Yao Ning a few days ago and decided to marry her in order to get her generous dowry.
She is a beautiful woman, very wealthy, and always obedient to me. No matter how you look at it, this is a sure-win deal.
It was just a flaw in a beautiful jade... No, how could it be considered a flaw? He shouldn't impose the chastity that bound women in the secular world on her. She was a flawless jade, and the past was just her past.
It's just the past...
I shouldn't care about it.
Ha, maybe three years ago, he was also close to other women. For a rich man like him, it's not impossible for him to be a playboy...
Shouldn't care.
There is no position to care.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Qian's mind, all of them rational and clear. He even looked at Yao Ning's watery eyes and thought that since she was so beautiful, how could he bear to let her cry.
But thoughts were just thoughts, and no matter how many voices clamored to persuade him, Chen Qian still stood up uncontrollably with a gloomy expression.
He sat in the corner of the carriage without saying a word, a long distance away from Yao Ning. Even in this small and cramped space, their bodies would never touch each other again.
He turned his head and looked at the monotonous scenery outside the window, leaving Yao Ning with a cold and hard back.
