The guards and maids in the princess's mansion could all feel the low pressure after Mu Wanyao and Yan Shang came out of Ci'en Temple.
The two of them no longer just glanced at each other as they did in the past; that kind of atmosphere made it impossible for others to interrupt.
Now Mu Wanyao put on her muli again and walked in front, Yan Shang followed behind her, staring at her back. Yan Shang's eyes were a little empty, Mu Wanyao turned back and saw him staring at her in a trance, with a little sadness in his eyes.
He looked at her sadly, and it was as if her heart was pierced by a needle.
Mu Wanyao remained silent for a moment and suppressed his emotion.
She said, "Get in the car, and let's go home together."
Yan Shang: “No need…”
Mu Wanyao shouted impatiently, "Just get in the car when I told you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
The princess' sudden outburst startled everyone. The guards and maids looked around in confusion, not understanding why the princess would be so angry at Yan Erlang for no reason.
However, the words are still clear.
Yan Shang glanced at her. Through the veil, he couldn't see her expression, but he could imagine that she had once again closed the door to her heart. She sealed herself up with ice and snow again, and began to use thorns to guard against him.
Yan Shang was confused. He had too many confusing things to figure out. He wanted to say something, but he felt that everything he said was hypocritical and polite. He finally kept silent and got into the car with her.
This was the first time the two of them were in the same car, but they didn't talk all the way.
She didn't come to tease him, and he just sat there quietly. There was a table between them, as clear as the boundary between Chu and Han.
The oppressive atmosphere was unbearable. After finally reaching the door of the mansion, Mu Wanyao felt relieved that she no longer had to face Yan Shang. She couldn't wait to open the car door, and without waiting for Yan Shang to get out of the car and come back to help her, she directly got out of the car with the help of the maid outside.
The sleeve was gently pulled by the man behind her.
Yan Shang whispered: "Shake..."
Mu Wanyao’s back stiffened instantly.
Yan Shang: “I don’t care…”
With her back to him, Mu Wanyao interrupted him with disgust: "Yan Shang, I beg you, when can you stop being so hypocritical? Do you feel that I am uncomfortable and that you have to express your attitude, so you have to express it? I don't care how much you think about others, but can you not be so hypocritical with me?
“Let go!”
The man behind her didn't say anything, but he didn't let go either. Mu Wanyao was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she pulled the sleeve away from his hand. She left without looking back, leaving the message alone, staring blankly at her palm.
-----
It’s not just this problem that awaits Mu Wanyao.
Although she promised Yan Shang not to drink too much, she still couldn't help drinking all night. She slept all day the next day before she recovered. A day later, in the evening, Mu Wanyao saw the letter written to her by Jinling Li.
There was a letter from the head of the Li family, and also a letter from his uncle, Li Zhi, the magistrate of Nanhai County.
The two letters actually contained the same content, both asking her to get engaged to Wei Shu.
The letter said that the time was ripe, Mu Wanyao was in power in Chang'an, and Wei Shu didn't have any major problems at the moment, so it was a good opportunity for the two to get engaged. Even if they got engaged and got married next year, it was fine.
The Li and Wei families were just afraid that the night would be too long and they would not be able to control Mu Wanyao in the future, so they were eager to make a marriage agreement at this time, while Mu Wanyao's power was not yet so great that he could cover the sky with one hand. With the marriage agreement, it would be easier for the two families to get along. The Li family could use Mu Wanyao's hand and the help of the Wei family to return to the political center of Chang'an little by little.
Forced marriage, forced marriage!
Forced marriage again!
After seeing these two letters, Mu Wanyao became furious and felt that he was in trouble everywhere.
They only knew how to force her into marriage and make a fuss about her marriage! Even though she had come to this point today, in their eyes, marriage was her greatest use!
Mu Wanyao was so angry that he started to curse loudly and smashed all the utensils, cups, and precious porcelain in the room, which frightened the maids in the princess's mansion. The princess usually had a bad temper, but since she had Yan Erlang, her temper had been restrained a lot.
This was the first time in two years that Mu Wanyao got so angry.
Mu Wan was sharp-eyed. Seeing Xia Rong retreating outside with a pale face, she slammed the table and shouted, "Don't go and ask Yan Shang to come! If anyone dares to let Yan Shang know a word about what happened in my house today, I will pull out her tongue!"
The princess' eyes were full of ferocity and hostility. She was no longer charming and attractive, but became cold and sharp. The people in the princess's mansion were terrified and obeyed the orders. Especially Xia Rong, the personal maid, was so scared that she trembled all over when serving the princess. And just because she shivered a few times, she was punished by the princess to wash dishes in the kitchen.
Oh... I miss the time when Sister Chunhua was around.
After Mu Wanyao had a tantrum, she felt a little better. She was not in the mood to eat at night, so she took the letter back to her bedroom to study. The two personal maids hesitantly took the fruit plate to find the princess, and they happened to see Mu Wanyao coming out of the bedroom.
Mu Wanyao said she was too stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air. The maids quickly arranged for the princess to relax in the mansion and considered whether to invite the mansion's musicians to sing to please the princess. But Mu Wanyao didn't wait for them to come up with a plan and went up to the third floor attic.
The lanterns were lit upstairs. With a thin mattress covering her legs, Mu Wan sat in the attic, folding her arms as usual, staring in a daze at the lights of the mansion opposite.
She was thinking about the marriage between the Li and Wei families.
She thought calmly and decided to cancel the marriage.
The Crown Prince had just lost Yang Si, and it was a time for him to recruit more people. She needed to place more people there and win over more court officials. How could she reveal at this time that she wanted to get engaged to the Wei family? How would the Crown Prince view her? Would her newly established position be discounted because of this incident?
What good would it be for her if she agreed to this marriage?
Not much benefit.
It is only beneficial to the Li and Wei families.
Once the two families colluded, she, a princess without fertility, would be easily abandoned. Perhaps they would directly arrange for someone else to marry, and Mu Wanyao's role in it would only be a bridge for the Li family to return to the court. They valued the royal blood in her... but if she had no offspring, her role would be hard to say.
Mu Wanyao thought coldly that she couldn't go to such a desperate situation.
Mu Wanyao today is different from the Mu Wanyao who just returned to Chang'an. She has been in the political arena for three years, and she knows what these people are thinking much better than before. She knows very well that she can only take advantage of the situation if she stands between the prince and the Li family. It is not worth it for her to favor either family unless the other family is already determined.
This marriage did not bring her enough benefits.
She could either refuse the marriage or bargain, asking the two families to give up more benefits before they would agree to the marriage. As long as there were enough benefits, she would have more power after the marriage and would not be controlled by them. Whether she had children or not, neither of them could do anything to her.
But...what should I do with Wei Shu?
What should Yan Shang do?
Are they all going to be sacrificed for her own selfish desires?
Mu Wanyao hesitated for a moment, her eyes focused, she found the location of the study in the mansion opposite with great familiarity, and looked over there. This sight startled her, in the night fog, she saw an inconspicuous figure pushing open the window and standing in front of it.
He didn't know how long he stood there.
Mu Wan looked at it in a daze, her heart beating in her throat.
She thought sadly: Is he looking at me? Can he see me?
Will he keep looking at me?
-----
Yan Shang felt confused.
Listen to one word and get the whole picture.
His heart began to be in turmoil the moment Mu Wanyao said that she was infertile. He couldn't help but wonder why she said that. Was she born infertile, or did she become infertile later? How did she know that she was infertile? Is there any woman who is born infertile?
And if it was later on that she was unable to have children...what did she encounter in Wuman that led to this?
His heart ached and numbed. He hated himself for having no imagination and for not even daring to think about it. When he thought of Nanshan, Mu Wanyao wading in the water, crying to him, "Since ancient times, can beauty only be taken away by others?"
Yan Shang bent down, covering his heart, wondering why he didn't notice it at that time?
Her pain was much deeper than he thought!
If her suffering was caused by Wu Man... how sad and desperate she would be when he started the war in Nanshan to stop her from killing Meng Zaishi. She was isolated and helpless, and even he didn't believe her and thought she was reckless...
But in this human world, who should remain calm about everything?
The one who is calm in all matters is a sage, who is neither swayed by the dusk nor talkative.
Meng Zaishi...why didn't you kill him back then?
However, Yan Shang had to force himself not to think about those things. It was useless to think about them. What was more important was the current problem - if Mu Wanyao could not have children, what would he and her do?
Since ancient times, filial piety has governed the world.
If you don't have children, it would be unfilial and a big mistake.
Why were the eunuchs so hated and looked down upon by the scholars? Firstly, it was an insult to their dignity, and secondly, it meant that they would be cut off from the family line and have no offspring.
Yan Shang held his forehead with his hand, thinking so hard that he had a headache. He slowly opened a letter from Lingnan, which he received when he left home this morning. He had been busy in the Ministry of Revenue all day and only had time to open the letter now.
Because of the long distance, and because he knew that his relationship with his father, brother, younger brothers and sisters might only be maintained through letters, Yan Shang took every letter from home very seriously. He often wrote letters and sent things to his family. After he had enough money, he sent money home more frequently, hoping that this would alleviate his guilt for not being able to support his father.
Whenever he received a letter from home, he would read it again and again carefully to ease his homesickness.
However, this night, just seeing the envelope made Yan Shang's arms go numb and he felt extremely stressed. He couldn't breathe and was numb for a long time before he opened the letter.
The letters were all about the recent situation at home and their concerns for him. One good thing was that his third brother was engaged to a rich girl and would get married this year. Knowing that Yan Shang was an official appointed by the court and could not easily leave Chang'an, and Yan Shang could not return to Lingnan, they comforted Yan Shang in the letter, saying that when the third brother passed the state examination, he might be able to bring his wife to Chang'an and let him meet his sister-in-law.
The letter was full of joy.
Yan Shang was also happy for his third brother.
But his father urged him at the last minute, asking him why he still hadn't gotten married yet. Could it be that he still couldn't get married even after his third brother had a child and Yan Xiaozhou got married?
Compared to the previous two years when Yan's father was just giving advice in his heart, this year, with Yan Sanlang getting engaged, Yan's father has become very anxious and impatient. Because Yan Shang has not yet married, Yan's father is under great pressure from the neighbors. If Yan Shang can get married, the Yan family may be able to take this opportunity to meet Yan Shang.
Yan Shang was only one year away from reaching the age of twenty, and the fact that he was still unmarried at the age of twenty was enough to make his father, who was usually good-tempered and did not pay much attention to his son, anxious.
Yan's father asked him if the girls in Chang'an were too hard to please, and was worried whether he needed to find someone to help him find a matchmaker. He urged him not to be too picky, just about right would be fine, and not to become a joke in the Yan family. Yan's father thought that his Erlang was gentle and kind, handsome and good at talking, so how could there be no girls in Chang'an who liked him?
It must be that Yan Shang was too picky, which delayed the marriage.
Yan's father finally fantasized about Sun Mantang's future and ended the letter.
Lang Shang held his forehead with his hand while reading the letter, and he could hardly continue reading at the end. He felt extremely guilty, because not only could he not get married, but he might, maybe... he also couldn't have children.
He likes Mu Wanyao, but he can't have a child with Mu Wanyao.
His heart felt like it was bleeding. Yan Shang closed his eyes and hunched over the desk. He felt lost, filled with hatred and powerlessness.
For the first time, he felt hesitant, afraid, and hesitant about this relationship.
There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants.
In this era, the consequence of not having an heir, the consequence of being criticized for a lifetime... is too terrible. He is not a princess like Mu Wanyao, no one will criticize the princess, only him. The whole clan hall will be watching him, and if he is accused of being "unfilial", he will be looked down upon by the world and the clan. Even if he can bear it, he still has to face the disappointment of his family and their sighs.
The price to pay for this life is too high.
It was so loud that it woke him up, made him feel cold all over, and made him confused as to why this happened.
What did he do wrong, what did his Yaoyao do wrong, that they have to face such a difficult problem?
Yan Shang opened the window and wanted to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, but also as expected, he saw the lights on the attic of the mansion opposite. Under the swaying lantern, he could vaguely see the dark shadow of a girl sitting on a rattan chair.
The girl sitting alone in the high building made him miss her like crazy.
And now, and now... Yan Shang just stared at that place, his eyes fixed.
He felt vaguely that there was moisture in his eyes. He felt like he was nailed there, feeling extremely sad and embarrassed.
I can only look at her from afar with sad eyes.
-----
For many days afterwards, Yan Shang and Mu Wanyao did not meet each other.
They lived in the same lane and were neighbors, so it was much harder not to meet each other than to want to. But the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. When Yan Shang was going to the government office, Mu Wanyao never went out; when Mu Wanyao came back in the evening, Yan Shang was still working in the government office.
But the lantern in the attic is always lit at night.
One day in early April, Mu Wanyao was in the palace, chatting with her father. The cook in her house brewed "peach blossom wine" this spring, and she brought it to the palace for the emperor to taste. Perhaps it was the beginning of spring, the weather was warm, the emperor's illness was relieved, and he was in good spirits, so he also liked Mu Wanyao to come to the palace every day to chat and laugh with him.
Sitting by the crabapple tree under the window, her pink skirt spread out on the floor tiles, Princess Danyang's hair was tied up loosely, her eyes were red, and her lips were red. Her beauty far outweighed the rich red of the crabapple tree by the window.
She was holding a small cup in her hand and smilingly introducing the wine to the emperor when she heard the eunuch outside announce, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Minister of Revenue both want to see you."
The emperor saw his little daughter's hand holding the glass cup tremble slightly, and her thick and dense eyelashes fluttered.
The Minister of Revenue is the Minister of All Affairs, that is, Shang.
The emperor saw Mu Wan calmly put down the glass cup in her hand, raised her snow-white face, and smiled at him coquettishly, "Then my daughter will take her leave first."
The emperor stopped her with a smile: "No need to retreat, we are all family."
Who is our family? Yan Shang?
Mu Wanyao responded quickly: "The princess cannot interfere in government affairs."
The emperor's smile deepened.
You can't interfere, she has interfered so much. Anyway, the Wei Dynasty is very tolerant of the princess. As long as she is not treasonous, they basically turn a blind eye to the princess's affairs, and no ministers come to complain about the princess's meddling in politics too much.
The emperor just said: "It doesn't matter, they will probably just say a few words."
The emperor had said so, so Mu Wanyao couldn't leave. But her heart was beating fast, her hands were placed on her knees, but she was tightly holding her sleeves. She hadn't seen Yan Shang for many days... Was she going to see him?
-----
"I pay my respects to your Majesty and to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The familiar and gentle voice flowed like spring water, gurgling into people's hearts. The withered hearts seemed to be revived by that voice.
Mu Wanyao tilted her head slightly and looked towards Yan Shang.
Meet his gaze.
He did not dare to look any longer and quickly shifted his gaze. He took a step back and stood behind the prince. The prince and the emperor were both observing Mu Wanyao and Yan Shang. Seeing them like this, the emperor and the prince looked at each other. The prince smiled with a sense of relief, thinking that his plan was successful.
The emperor was indifferent and thought that might not be the case.
The prince came to see the emperor to talk about the envoys who were visiting various countries and the opening of trade routes for Wei. But he came to see the emperor because he had no money.
The emperor sighed and looked at the prince: "The Ministry of Revenue just made a fortune from the powerful last year. Is it spent so quickly? Not necessarily."
The prince was startled.
The emperor's hint to him ended there: "You figure it out yourself."
The prince felt that the emperor seemed to be pointing out his corruption, but he didn't say much. He couldn't figure out how much the emperor knew about the Ministry of Revenue, so he just gritted his teeth and smiled: "It's my son who is rude. I will find a way to make up for it."
The emperor said indifferently: "Yeah."
The prince hurriedly changed the subject: "The matter of opening trade routes between Wei and other countries is the responsibility of Yan Suchen. I asked him to come along so that he can explain the matter in detail to the emperor."
The emperor nodded.
-----
Mu Wanyao had been listening to them talking about government affairs. Sometimes she would be distracted and wondered if Yan Shang had just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue. Why was the prince in such a hurry to use him?
At noon, the emperor actually invited the prince and Yan Shang to have lunch.
Mu Wanyao was surprised for a moment.
The emperor had always been indifferent to the prince, neither saying good nor bad. But he was the prince after all, and the emperor usually gave him face. Although it was rare, it was not surprising to invite the prince to dine here. The strange thing was why he left a message?
Why leave a message?
Yan Shang was only a seventh-rank official, who had just escaped from being a minor official. Logically, with his rank, he was not even qualified to attend the court, not even qualified to see the emperor... Why did the emperor look at him differently?
Mu Wanyao looked at Yan Shang inquiringly.
There was some surprise in Yan Shang's eyes.
It turns out he didn't know either.
Mu Wan calmed himself down and reminded himself to be vigilant.
-----
The meal was very formal, but when the emperor and the prince were drinking, they found out that Yan Shang couldn't drink, so they found it interesting and asked him a few more questions. Yan Shang drank some muddy wine with the two of them, but not much. After drinking, the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Mu Wanyao listened to them chatting about some boring things, so she felt relieved and started to concentrate on her meal.
She lowered her eyes and picked up the food with chopsticks in an extremely elegant manner. The chopsticks never touched the cups or plates, and there was no sound at all. This dining posture was pleasing to the eye, worthy of the demeanor of a princess.
The prince drank several glasses of wine and felt a little drunk. He looked at Mu Wan shaking, then looked at Yan Shang who was sitting on the other side. Yan Shang did not look at Mu Wan shaking once from beginning to end, which made the prince admire Yan Shang's ability. If it were other young people, they would have been unable to resist peeking at such a beautiful princess.
What's more, the prince knew that Yan Shang and Mu Wanyao had a special relationship.
However, Yan Shang and Mu Wanyao acted in front of the emperor and the prince as if they were not very familiar with each other.
It's really scary.
The prince sneered, and suddenly leaned forward and looked at Yan Shang: "Su Chen."
Yan Shang raised his eyes.
The prince smiled at the emperor and said, "Father, don't you think that Su Chen and Yao Yao look particularly compatible?"
Mu Wan shook his head stiffly and raised his face.
The emperor looked at them and smiled as he agreed with the prince: "They are a good match. Didn't I arrange a marriage for them back then? Unfortunately, Yaoyao was ignorant and refused. I remember that Lord Yan also said that he was not worthy of Her Highness the Princess?"
Yan Shang was about to speak when the prince interrupted him forcefully: "Really? Yan Suchen also refused."
He pointed at Mu Wanyao half-jokingly and said to Yan Shang with a half-smile: "Su Chen, take a closer look today. How is our Yaoyao not a good match for you, and how are you not a good match for her? You are of similar age and both have handsome looks. Aren't you the best match? You helped her when you were in Nanshan. Don't you have any thoughts about her? I don't believe it."
The prince said lazily: "Tell me, if the emperor arranges a marriage for you again, Yan Suchen, will you still refuse?"
Yan Shang paused.
He looked at the crown prince, then at the emperor, and he understood what the two meant. They were trying to bring him and Mu Wanyao together. The last arranged marriage ended in a bad way, and now they were thinking about it again.
Yan Shang remained silent.
For a moment, he actually wanted to just leave it at that.
He couldn't resist the emperor's order, nor could he resist with his death, saying again that he was not worthy of the princess. The emperor and the prince seemed to have pushed him. He was still at a loss, still not knowing how to deal with his relationship with Mu Wanyao... Now, he didn't have to think about it.
Someone had arranged a marriage for him, and no matter what happened in the future, he couldn't resist it. He only had to think about how to deal with the problem in the future, and didn't have to make a choice.
Yan Shang's silence made the prince happy, knowing that for a reserved person like Yan Shang, this almost meant that Yan Shang agreed... Mu Wanyao said coldly: "Father, big brother, have you forgotten me again?"
The prince was stunned and looked over: "What? You don't agree again?"
Mu Wanyao was so angry at his surprised tone that her eyes turned red. She sneered and threw down her chopsticks: "Don't I have any say in my marriage? Can you always discuss it in front of me and arrange it for me?"
She stood up.
When he was not at the banquet and there were only these few people around, Mu Wanyao did not hide his temper.
She looked at Yan Shang with cold eyes and said word by word: "I disagree! I still disagree!"
After saying that, Mu Wanyao turned around and walked out of the palace.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly turned cold.
Yan Shang stood up and bowed to the emperor and the prince. He wanted to say a few more words, but the emperor said calmly: "Okay, go and follow him. Yaoyao has a bad temper, he must be angry."
Yan Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that the emperor now seemed to be much more tolerant of the princess than when he first granted the marriage.
-----
Yan Shang hurried out of the hall, and Mu Wanyao had already disappeared.
Just as he was about to chase after him, he heard the prince's voice coming out from behind him: "Su Chen, wait a minute."
Yan Shang was extremely anxious, but he still stopped and turned around to salute the prince who was leaving the hall.
The prince said: "You must coax Yaoyao well, understand?"
Yan Shang naturally agreed.
The prince pondered for a while and said, "Don't take it lightly. I have heard that the Jinling Li family and the Luoyang Wei family want to get Yaoyao and Wei Qilang engaged. If you don't seize the opportunity and make Yaoyao change her mind, she may marry Wei Qilang."
Yan Shang was stunned.
He looked at the prince, his eyes were silent for a moment, and said, "So this is the real reason why Your Highness wanted to arrange a marriage."
It turns out that it wasn't for Mu Wanyao's sake.
The prince narrowed his eyes, sensitively feeling that Yan Shang seemed cold, but Yan Shang quickly adjusted his attitude, respectfully said that he had tried his best, saluted the prince again, and hurried away.
-----
Mu Wanyao had already driven back home, and Yan Shang followed her all the way into the princess's mansion.
He knocked on her bedroom door in a gentle voice, begging her to let him in. No one answered, Yan Shang gritted his teeth and whispered: "Your Highness, we must solve this problem today! This matter can't be delayed any longer! How can Your Highness keep avoiding it?"
The girl inside laughed coldly and said, "Come in."
Yan Shang pushed the door open and saw Mu Wanyao sitting upright, looking at him coldly, as if she had been waiting for him.
Yan Shang closed the door, stood there for a long time, and said, "Why did your highness refuse the marriage just now?"
Mu Wanyao said, "Oh, you don't want to refuse the marriage. You want others to give you a push and solve the problem for you. In the future, this marriage will be the emperor's order, you have no choice, you can't resist. You don't have to solve the problem I give you, you just need to deal with the problems that come after."
Yan Shang looked at her and said, "What's wrong with this? I just need to think about how to deal with my parents, my clan members, and the eyes of the world... What's wrong with that?"
He couldn't help but sound a little resentful.
Mu Wan slammed the table and said, "Because you didn't do it on your own will! You were forced to this point! You were hesitant and didn't think it through! You're just a coward and don't dare to think too much!"
Yan Shang's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? I swore to you on the spot that it was okay, and you said I was hypocritical. Now I agree, and you say I didn't mean it. What is the true intention? Don't I need time? Don't I need to consider it? Such a big thing...you want me to recognize you without hesitation and support you...you only want to be happy for the moment, don't you think about the consequences, don't you think about my difficulties?"
Mu Wanyao was furious.
She stood up suddenly, grabbed the cup in her hand and threw it at him.
She said, "Then think about it carefully! But I tell you, it's useless whether you think about it or not, because..."
Yan Shang: "Because no matter whether I can think clearly or not, you won't marry me!"
The two of them were silent for a moment, and Mu Wan looked at him blankly.
Seeing his red eyes, he was a gentle man, but he was so angry at her. He tried to control his emotions, but his voice was still tense: "You are considering a marriage with the Wei family, considering an alliance... What I think doesn't affect you at all, right?"
Mu Wan shook his chin and his face turned pale.
She said coldly: "I want the Princess's Mansion to block the news. Who told you?"
Yan Shang said softly: "So you still want to keep it a secret from me? The problem between us is not just what I think, but also what you think... You are unwilling to give me a name? Your marriage is only linked to interests? You want to marry into the Wei family without considering me?"
Mu Wan shook: "I won't get married."
Yan Shang just had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard her coldly: "But I won't marry because the benefits are not enough to move me. I will handle this marriage well, but it has nothing to do with you, it's not because of you."
Yan Shang: "Why... we have come to this point, and you still think that interests are more important and I am not important? I am willing to be childless for you, but you are not willing to give up your..."
Mu Wan shook her head: "How ridiculous! Are you willing? You are forced to do this!"
Yan Shang stared at her.
When Mu Wanyao saw his broken eyes, her heart softened for a moment, and she felt a little reluctant. She slowed down her tone, regretting why she told him that she couldn't have children.
Mu Wanyao tried to speak gently: "Yan Shang, why don't we both take a step back. You don't have to worry about whether I can have children, and I won't marry anyone else. Let's restore our previous relationship... Being lovers, isn't that great?"
Yan Shang said softly: "Do you think being a lover is good? A relationship without responsibility is good?"
Mu Wanyao: "What are you dissatisfied with? Eat it all up, you don't have to worry about whether it will make me pregnant, you don't have to be responsible for me. Don't men like to be responsible for women? I directly helped you solve this problem, don't you think it's good? You didn't lose anything! You didn't lose anything!"
Yan Shang's eyes went dark.
Both angry and disappointed.
He felt chills coming from his chest, and the whole room seemed to be spinning in front of him because of the aftereffects of the alcohol.
He tried hard to control himself, but couldn't help raising his voice: "I didn't lose anything? I didn't lose anything? The emotions I spent on you, are they nothing? My emotions, my love, aren't these contributions? Is only material contributions considered contributions?
"It was you who provoked me first! But you treated me like this in the end! What do you want me to do? You didn't tell me many things at the beginning, and you are telling me now. The feelings I have given to you cannot be taken back, what do you want me to do?!"
