Chapter 170 I Love You
He asked Qingfeng to prepare some wine, and sat there drinking alone. When Shen Anan came back from bathing and changing clothes, he still had no intention of getting up, but the wine jug was already empty.
Shen Anan walked towards him and said softly, "I ignored your feelings. If it happens again, I will definitely let you know in advance."
She said so, but if she had the chance to trick Mengmeng again next time, she would definitely not show mercy.
Besides, she had already told her about what happened today. Why didn't he stop it at that time and get angry with her when he came back afterwards?
"You really don't know what I'm angry about?" He looked up, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.
When dealing with this woman, he found that being angry or furious was useless. He had to learn to be soft-hearted and not confront her head-on anymore.
They couldn't be like in their previous life, a couple who didn't know how to communicate and could only quarrel.
"Because I ruined your feelings?"
He said that he had prepared the ship carefully, especially Xiao Ze. There was a blood feud between the two of them, so naturally he would be unhappy.
Xiao Yuan said nothing, but suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulled her to sit on his lap, and pressed his drunken lips against her neck.
"I never care about Duan Mengmeng and Xiao Ze, or what she did with other men. What I care about is that you don't care."
He pinched her chin and forced her to look up. "Chen An'an, you also know that you ruined my feelings tonight. I prepared those things early, hoping to leave you with good memories, but you don't care at all."
Perhaps, it was his retribution, revenge for his indifference and alienation towards her in his dream.
It turns out that being ignored by the one you love is so heartbreaking.
Shen Anan was stunned for a while.
What he meant was that he only cared about her and never cared about Duan Mengmeng?
Without waiting for her to come back to her senses, Xiao Yuan spoke again, "I don't know what I was like in your dream, but right now, I really have no one else but you."
He stopped moving after he finished speaking, as if he was drunk, but it took Shen Anan a long time to gradually come back to his senses.
It is impossible to say that there is no emotion in her heart. She knows the pain of not being valued, which is why she feels guilty. "I'm sorry for today."
"I just think that this opportunity is rare, and getting rid of Xiao Ze is the top priority. I haven't considered those things."
It’s not that I haven’t considered it, but I feel that love and temporary romance are not as important as the overall situation and the future.
I never thought that he cared so much.
She slowly took his hand and helped Xiao Yuan to the bed.
But he held her waist and refused to let go. Helplessly, Shen Anan could only lie on her side and slept like that for half the night.
The third watch drum sounded, and the drunk man slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes fixed on the person in his arms.
In fact, he was not drunk, but there were some things that if he didn't say them out loud, the gap between them would only grow deeper.
He was also afraid that when he was sober-minded and faced with Shen Anan who didn't care, he would not be able to control his anger and end up quarreling again.
He held her body and moved inside.
Half asleep and half awake, Shen Anan suddenly felt a little heavy, but the wanton hands had already torn her belt open.
The smell of alcohol mixed with the man's cold breath lingered at the tip of her nose, and his lips touched her ear, "An An, I really like you, why don't you believe me..."
The resentful and low voice made her heart ache uncontrollably.
She tossed and turned for half the night and didn't sleep well. The next morning, no matter how Mo Xiang called her, she covered her head and refused to get up, blaming the drunk Xiao Yuan for being too clingy.
Mo Xiang was helpless, "Miss, today is the first day of the lunar new year, you can't stay in bed, you still have to go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor later."
After Mo Xiang reminded her, Shen Anan suddenly remembered this matter.
She slowly emerged from the quilt and let Mo Xiang and Mo Ran help her change clothes, wash and dress. After everything was ready, she asked casually,
"Where are the others?"
"My son-in-law got up early in the morning and is handling official business in the study."
"Well," going to the palace to pay respects required wearing the standard palace dress, which was thick and heavy, and Shen Anan only felt more dizzy.
"Princess Consort," the butler reported from outside, "the young man named Chen Tian asked to see you, saying he had something important to report."
Shen Anan raised his eyebrows, thinking of the stubborn boy who was locked in the woodshed.
That person is very arrogant and stubborn, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so polite as to use the word "report".
But she still got up and walked out. When she opened the door, the smell of sulfur left by firecrackers spread in the air, and the smoke made it almost impossible to see the road.
"Let's go and take a look."
The butler immediately led the way, and Shen Anan asked casually, "Have you reported to the Fourth Prince?"
The housekeeper said honestly, "I went there. The Fourth Prince told me to report to the Princess. It's up to you to decide whether to meet her or not."
"Yeah." Shen Anan's lips curled up into a smile.
In fact, their quarrels these days were not without any benefits. At least he gradually understood what she wanted.
The woodshed was very cold, but perhaps it was Xiao Yuan's order that Chen Tian was given a quilt. When Shen Anan went in, he was wrapped in the quilt to keep warm.
"Very cold?" Shen Anan raised an eyebrow, "Then tell me, is the man who was fooled by you and hit his head against the wall cold in the underworld?"
The young man's face turned pale for a moment, but he lowered his head and did not refute. After a while, he slowly asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Is it true that the Lin family is not behind Lin Hengsheng, but there is another dark force behind it?"
Shen Anan said nothing, just looked at him calmly.
Chen Tian stood up anxiously, "Tell me, is it true? Who killed my parents?"
"You don't believe it, so what's the point of me saying more?"
Chen Tian looked at her, "I heard that you were going to Jiangnan to catch that Gu Tan."
The fact that a royal princess is willing to take the risk of leaving the capital shows that there is something fishy about this case.
"What if I'm the thief crying thief?" Shen Anan said.
Chen Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will kill you with my own hands and avenge my parents."
"..." Shen Anan turned around and was about to leave, but Chen Tian immediately blocked her way, "Don't go."
"What do you want to do?" Shen Anan's face was very cold.
Chen Tian said, "I have a feeling that you are not that kind of person. I want to follow you to Jiangnan to capture Gu Tan. I can do anything as long as you can help me get revenge. I am willing to sell myself as a slave and let you drive me around. How about that?"
"I have no shortage of servants." Shen Anan said coldly, "I have no shortage of servants who are smart-assed and stubborn."
Chen Tian's face turned slightly pale. "As long as you take me with you, I can listen to you in everything. I won't make my own decisions. I will obey your orders in everything."
"I am a victim. I know very well what those people did. I can definitely help you."
Shen Anan looked at him silently, without saying a word for a long time.
In order to go along, Chen Tian kept expressing his loyalty and swearing oaths.
Shen Anan suddenly asked, "If I asked you to sign a contract to sell yourself, would you be willing?"
Chen Tian was startled, and after a brief moment of hesitation, he immediately nodded, "I am willing, but you must give justice to the people of East City. If I find out that you are in cahoots with those people, I will kill you with my own hands and die with you."
"You, young man, really don't know how to be grateful. After all, I have helped you before." Shen Anan said sarcastically.
Chen Tian was silent for a moment, a little embarrassed, "Because I think you are not that kind of person. If you were really in cahoots with Lin Hengsheng, you could have killed me silently in the past few days, but you didn't, which means you are not a bad person."
Shen Anan pulled the corner of his lips, "You think clearly, but the journey to Jiangnan is long, and life and death are hard to say, you have to think clearly."
Chen Tian's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "I can do it."
Shen Anan said nothing more, turned around and left the woodshed, and ordered the housekeeper to release Chen Tian and sign the contract to sell him.
The housekeeper was a little doubtful, "Princess, that boy is very aggressive, will this work? I'm afraid the master won't agree."
It's probably not safe to keep such an impulsive and irritable person around.
"Don't worry about it. Just do as I tell you. If the Fourth Prince asks, just tell him the truth."
The housekeeper could only nod in agreement, and as soon as Shen Anan left, he immediately went to the study to report to Xiao Yuan first.
"Has the Crown Princess stood up?" Xiao Yuan asked this question after hearing the report.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It has already happened, Master, this young man's matter..."
