Xiao Yuan noticed the tension in her eyes and felt a pang of inexplicable frustration.
Tell me, Arong, what do you want from me?
I can give you anything!
He held the back of her head and slowly moved her towards him.
Su Xuerong was completely unable to move and hurriedly closed her eyes in fright.
After a while, she felt a warm sensation on her forehead.
He kissed himself, but not on the lips.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yuan's voice rang in her ears, and Su Xuerong felt weak all over, without even the strength to struggle.
“You haven’t answered my question yet, Arong.”
His voice rang in her ears again, and Su Xuerong said tremblingly, "I...I just want to earn money..."
Xiao Yuan: "..."
He was completely dazed.
Make money?
Wouldn't it be better to marry him and become a princess?
Seeing his stunned expression, Su Xuerong quickly pulled away from his embrace: "Your Highness, I'm telling the truth. If you don't manage your fiefdom properly, the properties I bought won't appreciate in value, and I won't make any money!"
"But after you marry me, will you still have to worry about not having opportunities to earn money?"
Xiao Yuan always thought Su Xuerong was a smart woman.
I never expected her to be so stubborn!
Su Xuerong glanced at him: "That's different. The money I earn is mine, and I can use it to support my family..."
Xiao Yuan suddenly grabbed her hand tightly again: "Don't you have so little faith in me that I can't take care of your family?"
At this moment, he was so angry at her that he almost bled from his own blood!
The princess had already offered it to her with both hands, yet she was still rambling and making excuses.
Su Xuerong realized that the man in front of her was getting angry.
She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, my status is truly unfit to be your princess consort..."
Xiao Yuan stared coldly at her, then suddenly chuckled, "What about the concubine?"
Su Xuerong looked uncomfortable: "You know I don't want to be a concubine."
Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, but Su Xuerong felt a low pressure emanating from him, making her feel a little breathless.
So, you're playing me?
He slowly raised his head, and the deep heat and love that had been in his eyes were gone, replaced by a chilling aura.
Su Xuerong hurriedly struggled to get down and moved far away from him.
At that moment, she seemed to see those ruthless old women in the cannibalistic harem of her previous life.
Suddenly, a sharp, bright flash of lightning appeared outside the window, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
The sweltering heat of the whole day suddenly found an outlet, with dark, heavy clouds filling the sky, followed by a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder.
At that moment, the rain poured down, and the rainwater rushed in through the window, soaking the bed next to the window.
Xiao Yuan's eyes remained fixed on the panicked woman in front of him. With a flick of his hand, he opened the window bar, and the window slammed shut, shutting out the lightning, thunder, and torrential rain.
The only candle in the room suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into silence and darkness.
Su Xuerong's heart was pounding. She kept seeing the scene of being locked in a dark room in her previous life, as well as the endless cruel torture methods of those terrible old women.
Suddenly, a hand reached out to her: "Arong..."
The tension in Su Xuerong's mind snapped at that moment, and she let out a sharp scream—
"ah--"
...
She floated up and down, as if she were drowning in a terrible ocean, surrounded by darkness and unable to see any light.
She felt a suffocating sensation, as if she had returned to the moment after being burned in a great fire in her previous life.
Life is slowly slipping away, but there are people she can't bear to part with.
Sister Yuan, Father and Mother, Eldest Brother, Brother Jian, Xiuchun...
Familiar faces flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, until finally a face hidden deep in her memory appeared.
The man looked at her with a smile: "Young lady, when I return in the future, I will definitely marry you. Wait for me..."
Su Xuerong tried to reach out and grab him, but he, like her beloved family, vanished before her eyes like quicksand...
She felt incredibly bitter.
Yes, she remembered. When she was fifteen, she met a man.
She saved him, and he wanted to marry her, asking her to wait for him.
Having lived two lives, she never got to see him and was forced to marry someone else...
"Waaaaah, my wife..."
"Mother!"
"aunt!"
“Ah Rong…”
"Woof woof woof!"
"Ah Rong!"
...
Suddenly, familiar voices rang in her ears one by one.
Especially that last voice, it sounded exactly like the person in the cave back then...
Su Xuerong was startled and suddenly opened her eyes.
Xiuchun, Yuanjie, Father and Mother, Su Jian and Xiaobai, and—
Xiao Yuan!
Su Xuerong was fully awake. She sat up abruptly and stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Xiao Yuan sat casually on a round stool not far from the bed, with a middle-aged man standing beside him looking apprehensive.
And all those gathered around her bed were her closest family members.
"Your Highness, Lady Su only needs to take the medicine according to the prescription and rest for a few more days to fully recover."
The physician looked miserable.
In the middle of the night, during a torrential downpour, he dragged her out of bed to treat her, but it turned out she was alright.
But she was forced to stay here with the prince and wait for her to wake up.
By this time, it was already broad daylight, and he was so sleepy that he felt dizzy and lightheaded, but the prince still hadn't planned to let him go back.
