Seeing this, Chu Jinghuai quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, with a hint of panic in his voice: "Where are you going?"
Chen Jingxi shook his hand off and said, "Return to Beijing and get a divorce!"
"You want to divorce me? You're dreaming!"
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that when I won the title of the most talented woman at the Spring Banquet, the Emperor promised me a favor."
Chu Jinghuai suddenly felt a headache. If he had known that if he helped her win, she would make such a request, he would not help her even if a knife was put to his head.
Damn it!
Looking at Chen Jingxi's resolute back, Chu Jinghuai felt an unprecedented panic in his heart. He knew that his words just now were too impulsive and hurt her.
He quickly chased after her, "Chen Jingxi, you are not allowed to leave."
A trace of pain flashed in Chen Jingxi's eyes. She shook off Chu Jinghuai's hand with force, her voice choked with sobs: "Why don't you let me leave? What right do you have to decide my life? I've had enough of your tyranny and despotism!"
After she said this, tears welled up in her eyes. She had been sent from the capital to Wuzhou, and was locked in a secret compartment for more than ten days. After several life-or-death experiences, she finally escaped from Tuoba Wu's hands.
As soon as they met, he spoke to her in such a bad tone and questioned her.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and her tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.
"Princess!" Chu Jinghuai tried to pull her hand again.
Chen Jingxi shook his hand off fiercely.
He didn't give up and once again pulled her. She threw her hands hard again, and their hands intertwined in the air.
"Get away from me, I don't want to see you again!" Chen Jingxi couldn't help but yelled at him.
Chu Jinghuai quickly lowered his head, his tone pleading: "Jingxi, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Chen Jingxi listened to his words, feeling a mixture of emotions. She stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and asked tearfully, "So, what did you do wrong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around immediately stretched their necks and pricked up their ears.
They had never seen His Royal Highness Prince Su, who was so powerful on the battlefield, bow his head and admit his mistakes, let alone in front of everyone.
Chu Jinghuai coughed lightly. He had already admitted his mistake to her, but this woman was still not giving in. What man in the world would admit his mistake to his wife?
Chen Jingxi got so stubborn that even ten oxen couldn't pull him back. If Chu Jinghuai couldn't explain the matter today clearly, it would not be over.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say it, she snorted coldly: "If you don't want to say it, then so be it."
Chu Jinghuai didn't even think about it and blurted out: "I'll tell you."
Chen Jingxi just stood there and looked at him.
Chu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Hearing you and Shi Qianmo chatting and laughing so happily, I feel...jealous."
"Are you jealous of him?"
"I know I shouldn't be like this, but I just can't help it. I can't give you the free life you yearn for. My life has been full of schemes and calculations. But, Chen Jingxi, believe me, I will definitely find a place for you to live freely."
Chen Jingxi remained silent, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She hadn't expected him to admit his jealousy so directly, and she hadn't expected him to apologize to her so sincerely.
Her tears fell again, but this time out of emotion and relief.
Chu Jinghuai stepped forward and hugged her fiercely, ignoring her struggles. "Believe me, we won't divorce, okay?"
Chen Jingxi raised her hand and punched him in the chest a few times to vent her anger, "Don't ever do this again."
Chu Jinghuai nodded quickly, "I will, I will definitely change. As long as you don't leave me, I'm willing to do anything."
Chen Jingxi looked up at his determined and passionate eyes, and was distracted for a moment, "Do you like me?"
Chu Jinghuai shouted at the top of his voice: "Yes, this prince likes you. This prince doesn't know why I like a conscienceless woman like you. There are so many women who are better than you, but this prince just likes you."
Chen Jingxi was a little confused by the sudden confession. "Are you serious?"
Chu Jinghuai responded seriously: "Yes."
Chen Jingxi coughed lightly, "Chu Jinghuai, to be honest, I like you a little bit too."
A smile appeared on Chu Jinghuai's lips.
"But don't be too happy too soon. You look handsome, but you're a mean-spirited person with a violent streak and a chauvinistic attitude."
The more Chu Jinghuai listened, the more his brows furrowed and his expression became serious.
Chen Jingxi became more and more excited as he spoke.
"The day you came back, you started yelling at me. I remember it clearly. You even choked me several times and tried to kill me."
"I just wanted to scare you, how could I possibly kill you?" No matter what you thought at the time, you have to deny it at this time.
Anyway, he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
He swore that if he had known this day would happen, he would never have treated Chen Jingxi like that in the beginning and would have held her in the palm of his hand.
"It's okay if you don't admit it. I know it in my heart anyway."
"Princess, you must believe me. Although I was angry at the time, I definitely did not intend to kill you."
"I don't believe you, let's not talk about this matter for now. And you abandon me when you are unhappy and don't even give me food to eat."
"I know I was wrong and I won't do this again." Chu Jinghuai hugged Chen Jingxi tightly in his arms.
Chen Jingxi leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, and the grievances in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now. But you have to promise me one thing." Chen Jingxi raised his head and looked into Chu Jinghuai's eyes.
"What is it? I will agree to everything you ask for." Chu Jinghuai said without hesitation.
"Don't be jealous anymore, and don't touch me anymore." Chen Jingxi said seriously.
Chu Jinghuai frowned slightly, "This..."
"Is this difficult to do?" Chen Jingxi glared at him.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to restrain myself." Chu Jinghuai smiled helplessly, "However, if someone covets my princess, don't blame me for being rude."
"Are you worrying too much?"
"This king likes to plan ahead."
Chen Jingxi burst out laughing.
As we were talking, the quiet street was suddenly filled with the sounds of footsteps.
