Chapter 404: A New Look

If Zhao Shuoer wanted, she could indeed marry Qin Qixuan directly.

But what she wanted was not just to marry Qin Qixuan. Zhao Shuoer also wanted to win Qin Qixuan's heart.

She knew very well that if she was only tied to Qin Qixuan by force with a marriage certificate, without his true acceptance and love, her marriage life would be like a dead tree in the frost, with no vitality.

Therefore, Zhao Shuoer was not in a hurry to achieve success. She chose a more tortuous path - let Qin Qixuan propose to her himself.

If she married in and Qin Qixuan had no intention of contacting her at all, Zhao Shuoer would feel very uncomfortable.

That's why she wanted Qin Qixuan to propose to her instead of just getting him.

Although Zhao Shuoer seemed firm and resolute in her previous words, as if as long as she wanted, she could make Qin Qixuan submit. But in fact, she was not so determined in her heart.

She understood that love is not about coercion, but requires sincerity from both parties. She didn't want to force Qin Qixuan with tough means, and she didn't want him to hate her because of this.

After all, she didn't want to force Qin Qixuan so cruelly, and didn't want Qin Qixuan to hate her.

Zhao Shuoer originally thought that Wen Yanya's words were just to make fun of her, so she widened her eyes, revealing a bit of ferocity, as if she was ready to explode at any time.

However, Wen Yanya did not do as she wished. She did not say a word of ridicule, but her expression was solemn and her tone was full of sincerity.

"Princess Shuo'er, Yanya begs you again to let go of this obsession."

Zhao Shuo'er wanted to scold Wen Yanya and accuse her of being ignorant, but Wen Yanya's next words made her stunned.

"If I have the ability, I would naturally be willing to promote your marriage with Qixuan. But Qixuan doesn't have you in his heart, how can I force him?"

Zhao Shuo'er was surprised, but she didn't get angry. She frowned slightly and looked at Wen Yanya, trying to see some clues from her face.

"You... don't you really care about Brother Qixuan?"

Wen Yanya was a little caught off guard by the question. She was slightly stunned, then shook her head.

"He is the person I love, my fiancé, so of course I care about him."

Zhao Shuoer was even more puzzled.

"Since you care about him, why do you persuade him to marry me?"

Wen Yanya sighed and said helplessly.

"Qixuan has been trapped in the case of the Dali Temple recently. The case is extremely dangerous. He is busy with it every day and is exhausted. I don't want him to worry about such trivial matters anymore, and I don't want him to be distracted by this matter. I hope he can concentrate on handling the case and protect himself. This is how I care about him."

Zhao Shuoer couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart when he heard Wen Yanya's words, and was a little stunned.

She thought Wen Yanya would feel resentful because of this, but she didn't expect that she could be so tolerant, and even willing to give up her personal joys and sorrows for the safety of Qin Qixuan.

This made Zhao Shuoer admire Wen Yanya more than ever before.

However, her emotions were like a meteor across the night sky, which lasted only a moment and then disappeared deep in her heart.

Wen Yanya did not notice the subtle change in Zhao Shuoer's emotions. She just sighed softly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes, and said to Zhao Shuoer.

"Princess Shuo'er, if you don't use the royal edict to pressure Qixuan, he might stick to his choice and fight against fate to the end. I know him, and you know him too. So, for him and for yourself, let go."

If there is no imperial edict, Qin Qixuan will definitely be stubborn to the end, but using the imperial edict is the worst of the worst.

Zhao Shuo'er was silent. She did not respond to Wen Yanya's words immediately, but fell into deep thought. She thought about Wen Yanya's words, and also thought about her feelings for Qin Qixuan, and what role she played in this relationship. She understood that although Wen Yanya's words were gentle, the meaning in them was like a sharp sword, pointing directly to the pain points deep in her heart.

Although this trip to the Qin family can be said to be useless, Zhao Shuo'er just feels that she has a feeling that this trip is not in vain.

This Wen Yanya is different from what she imagined.

And she said that Qin Qixuan encountered a difficult case?

Zhao Shuo'er knew in her heart that Qin Qixuan would not deal with simple things. The gang who kidnapped her last time were also desperate criminals. Therefore, she could fully understand Wen Yanya's words. If it were her, she would never want to let Qin Qixuan be distracted at this time to deal with those unimportant trivial matters.

In any case, Zhao Shuo'er silently kept in mind the fact that Qin Qixuan investigated the case in the Dali Temple. She knew that this incident might be very dangerous, and she might be able to help Qin Qixuan...

Zhao Shuoer's heart was like an overturned seasoning bottle, with all kinds of feelings intertwined and complicated. However, in this complicated emotion, she still had some softness in her heart.

Although Qin Qixuan's infatuation with Wen Yanya made her feel a little unhappy, the woman in front of her was not so disgusting in her eyes.

She was not the kind of person with deep thoughts and cruel means. On the contrary, she had a kind of gentleness and tenacity that was hard to ignore.

Originally, Zhao Shuoer planned to leave quietly like this and not say anything more to the two of them. But after hesitating for a moment, she decided to leave some advice for Wen Yanya before leaving. She

took a deep breath, her tone was a bit serious and warning.

"I advise you to go out less recently. Although my brother will not come to arrest people in person, if you are wandering outside, it will be hard to say."

There was a trace of worry in her words. After all, the little emperor's grandson was referring to a maid. If Wen Yanya really went out and was targeted by Zhao Zemo again, it would be hard to explain. Zhao Zemo could completely deny that he had arrested the little emperor's grandson. At that time, Wen Yanya would be in real danger. Wen Yanya

was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhao Shuoer's reminder. She didn't expect Zhao Shuo'er would still care about her safety at this time, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She hurriedly thanked him, her tone full of gratitude.

But Zhao Shuo'er snorted awkwardly, as if he was a little uncomfortable with her concern. She turned and left, leaving Wen Yanya standing there alone, her heart was surging.

Xiao Xixi didn't breathe a word, and watched the conversation between Zhao Shuo'er and Wen Yanya very quietly throughout the whole process.

It was also because Wen Yanya couldn't hear Xiao Xixi's inner voice that she didn't hear anything, was not disturbed by Xixi's inner voice, and even almost forgot that Xiao Xixi was still there.
