Jiang Wan was embraced by him, but there was no real physical contact between them. She could not move and could only raise her head to meet his unrestrained gaze.
"But after spending time with you, I got to know you again. Father asked me this question after he came back, and when you were in danger, I also asked it in my heart."
"Girl, I like you."
I am pleased with you.
These four words kept echoing in Jiang Wan's ears, and she looked up in a daze.
But she saw Shen Qiwen's hand fall on her head, and where she couldn't see, he exhaled heavily on his face.
Dad is right. If he doesn't speak up, when the girl blossoms in beauty, there will be countless people who like her, and he will have a headache then.
"I……"
Although Jiang Wan had some idea of it, she had never thought it would happen so suddenly.
What's more, Shen Qiwen is now the Crown Prince of Yue. There is already a huge gap between them.
It's not that she is inferior, but that the world has always been like this.
"But you are the prince of Yue."
"So what? Your talent shouldn't be limited by your humble background. Besides, it's you I like."
"I already have power, and there's no need to go any further. Besides, I'll be living in Qingshan Village in the future, and the power I have is enough to protect you."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan's heart trembled.
Shen Qiwen knew that his words were sudden and Jiang Wan was not prepared, so he was not in a hurry and said slowly, "Girl, I have told you my feelings. What about you? Can you... have feelings for me?"
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Shen, I haven't thought this through yet. Let me think about it."
"How long does that girl need to think about it? Is midnight feasible?"
"you!"
Jiang Wan widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
There are only two hours left until the hour of Hai.
Asking her to give him an answer in two hours, what's the difference between that and her giving him the answer now?
"Then you might as well let me give you the answer right now!" Jiang Wan said unhappily.
"If you want to, I don't mind."
"you!"
Jiang Wan was furious. She had never thought that Shen Qiwen could be so shameless.
Shen Qiwen saw that she was angry, and it was not good to really annoy her, so he spoke to comfort her, "Girl, I know you are very confused at this moment, and so am I. If you don't give me an answer for the time being, I will not be able to let go of my heart."
"I have to go out soon. If I keep thinking about this and get distracted by the enemy, then..."
Jiang Wan quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
Who would curse themselves like this!
"Okay! I promise!"
"Then...is it settled? When the girl reaches marriage age, I'll go ask Uncle Jiang for her hand in marriage!"
Shen Qiwen gave a mischievous smile, and Jiang Wan suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes widening as she asked, "You lied to me?"
"I clearly said I would give you an answer at midnight!"
How could I agree to him?
Shen Qiwen smiled shamelessly, "But you agreed just now, girl."
Jiang Wan turned her head away angrily, but she wasn't really angry. She was just very confused. She didn't expect that she would decide her lifelong event by going out. She didn't know if her parents would faint from anger when they knew about it.
"Girl, don't worry, I will treat you well. If one day, I treat you badly, you can kill me with your own hands."
"I wouldn't dare."
If we kill him, the Nine Sects will be destroyed.
"Why not? This is the power I gave you. No one dares to speak out."
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom and put it on her. His fingertips lingered on the jade pendant for a moment. "This is what Uncle Huang gave me when I was born. It's a jade token of immunity from death. When the time comes, you will use this."
Jiang Wan's thoughts were complicated. She didn't expect that Shen Qiwen had thought of everything.
She muttered quietly, "Who wants your life?"
"What?"
"I said, if one day in the future you treat me badly, then we can part ways amicably and never see each other again for the rest of our lives. If I kill you, you really think I'm the kind of person who can't let go."
Hearing her coquettish words, a smile appeared in Shen Qiwen's eyes.
This little girl is finally mine.
"That day will never come."
He wouldn't give her that chance.
He lowered his eyes and met hers, with a gleam in his eyes.
After dinner, Shen Qiwen left the Prince of Yue's Mansion again.
Huo Jiuyu's whereabouts have been exposed. Soon, after the affairs in the capital are settled, they will be able to set off back to Qingshan Village.
next day
As soon as Jiang Wan walked out of the room, the housekeeper was waiting in the yard.
She was startled and walked down the stairs. "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"The prince returned home yesterday, but it was too late, so he didn't come to call the young lady."
Since arriving in the capital, Jiang Wan had only seen him once at Luoyu Residence and had never seen him again. Shen Qiwen said that he had gone to see an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
"Where is Uncle Shen?"
Hearing her address, the butler was startled, but quickly reacted, "The prince is in the main hall, preparing breakfast. He had previously instructed that when the young lady wakes up, she can go straight over."
In the main hall, Shen Boyuan was munching on a bun, without any airs of a prince.
After seeing Jiang Wan, he waved at her excitedly.
"Girl, are you here?"
"Come and try this, it was just sent over by Tianxianglou!"
It was much more fragrant than the things he had pinched before. After saying that, he took a big bite.
"Eh? You're welcome, come and sit down."
Worried that she would restrain him, Shen Boyuan quickly waved again.
