This skill of sweet talk must have been cultivated to the maximum level.
But Xue Huan absolutely dared not acknowledge this "husband and wife". She raised her hand to press against his chest to prevent him from further oppression. "You knew that our previous marriage was fake, so we can't be considered husband and wife yet——"
Before she could finish her words, Pei Ji bit her earlobe and asked, "Hanhuan, are you going to abandon me?"
That tone is exactly like that of a resentful woman who was abandoned by a scumbag!
Xue Huan felt as if she and he had received the wrong script.
"Pei Ji, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by abandoning someone after having sex with them? We haven't even started yet, okay?"
To avoid appearing weak in his embrace, she pushed him onto the chair and placed her hands on his shoulders. "I need to take this opportunity to clarify our relationship."
Pei Ji put his arm around her waist and said, "Well, Huanhuan, go ahead and tell me."
"We are now in a phase where we are getting to know each other, which can be called 'dating'. During this phase, we can do some intimate things between lovers—"
"For example?"
"Like holding hands, hugging, and kissing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Ji raised his head and kissed her on the lips, smiling like a child who had stolen candy. "Hanhan, continue. I'm listening."
Xue Huan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't interrupt!"
"Oh." Pei Ji responded obediently, but looking at his expression, he showed no remorse at all, and seemed to be planning to attack her again at any time.
But Xue Huan couldn't really get angry with him. After all, it was difficult for her to keep from smiling at such a face.
"When we're in a relationship, I hope we can be loyal to each other and not be philandering. If I find out you're hooking up with another woman, hmph, I'll dump you right away."
Pei Ji was about to open his mouth, but she covered his mouth. She said rather overbearingly, "Listen to me first. If you have a different opinion, please raise it after I finish speaking."
"In addition to what I said above, there's one more thing. I'm sure I like you now, and I can feel your feelings for me, but people's hearts are fickle. Now we want to be together every moment, but there's no guarantee that our feelings won't fade in the future, or one of us might fall in love with someone else. If you no longer like me in the future, you must tell me, and I'll do the same. Let's part ways amicably, okay?"
Pei Ji did not say that he would never change his mind, because he knew she was right and people's hearts were fickle. But he was sure that even if he died, he would not let her go.
But he didn't show his paranoia. He just stroked her face with one hand and said gently, "Okay."
"Okay, do you have anything to say?" Xue Huan said in a cheerful tone.
Pei Ji: "Yes, once things in the capital are settled, Huanhuan will marry me, okay?"
Xue Huan blinked, not understanding why he always wanted to enter the grave of marriage. Wouldn't it be nice to have a sweet relationship where they could come together or break up if they didn't?
In comparison, she who is always ready to withdraw seems to be a bit of a scumbag.
"Well, do you know how old a woman has to be to become an adult?" Xue Huan asked instead of answering.
Pei Ji: "Fifteen?"
Xue Huan raised a finger and shook it, "No, it's eighteen. Only when a woman reaches eighteen will her body be considered fully developed and she can get pregnant and have children. So I have to wait until I'm at least eighteen before getting married."
Pei Ji looked at her, not knowing whether what she said was true or just an excuse to avoid marrying him.
If it was true, then he certainly couldn't leave her body unattended. If it was false...why was Huanhuan so resistant to marrying him? He must have done something wrong, failed to make her feel sufficiently secure, and so she wasn't willing to entrust her life to him.
"Okay, then I'll wait until you're eighteen." There are still two years left. These two years are enough for him to remove all obstacles, enough for him to make her fall in love with him completely.
Looking at his determined eyes, Xue Huan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Two years later, could their relationship really still be as good as it is now?
Perhaps because her parents are divorced, she has not experienced much of the positive influence of a healthy and complete family since she was a child. In addition, she has seen too many miserable lives of women after entering marriage in modern times, which makes her really have no confidence in marriage.
But maybe it was because she hadn't really fallen in love with Pei Ji yet. If her feelings for him were really deep enough, she would have been eager to marry him.
Five points of her feelings for him were due to her lusting after his body, three points were developed over their time together, and the remaining two points were probably pure love for him.
And she could feel that Pei Ji's feelings for her were much stronger than hers for him.
She had read a report before that said girls are slower to warm up in relationships, while boys are more passionate in the early stages. However, as time goes by, girls may fall deeper and deeper, and their love for boys will grow day by day, while boys' feelings come and go quickly.
When a girl truly falls in love with a boy, the boy no longer likes her and can walk away.
Thinking of this, Xue Huan couldn't help but sigh. She just hoped that she and Pei Ji would not end up like this.
Although she doesn't give her feelings easily, once she does, it's hard to take them back.
"Come on, I'll take you in to take a look." Pei Ji pulled Xue Huan into the secret room.
The secret room was a square room with an area of about 20 square meters. It was in full view. However, after Pei Ji operated on the candlestick in the southwest direction, a passage appeared on the ground, which was large enough for one person to enter.
Xue Huan thought that the secret room was her backup plan, but she didn't expect there was a secret passage in the secret room.
Pei Ji told Xue Huan how to open the secret passage. There was a candlestick in each of the four corners of the secret room. These four candlesticks were actually the mechanism to open the secret passage, but there was a rule as to which candlestick to use to open it on which day.
If you make a mistake, what opens after turning the candlestick is not a secret passage, but a mechanism.
Pei Ji went down first and met Xue Huan below.
When both of them came down, Pei Ji pressed a certain place and the stone slab automatically restored itself.
It was not dark under the secret passage. Candles were burning on both sides of the walls. The candlesticks were burning a unique kind of fish oil. A small drop could burn for a long time.
"Where are you taking me?" Xue Huan asked curiously.
Pei Ji kept it a secret, "Hanhan, guess?"
Xue Huan shook the hand he was holding, "Give me a hint."
Pei Ji felt that she was acting coquettishly towards him, and he was very happy. "You have been to that place."
Has she been there? She has been to many places.
Xue Huan thought about it. Since Pei Ji took her there through the secret passage, it meant that the place was relatively hidden. He usually traveled between his home and that place through the secret passage, which also meant that it was not convenient for him to appear there openly.
A light bulb went off in her head. Could that place be a brothel? And the brothels she had been to—
"Qing Huan Pavilion?"
