Chapter 71 You Wronged Me Qi Buchen was shocked, she...
Qi Buchen was deeply shaken. She was someone who could correct her mistakes. After her last moment of self-reflection on the grasslands, she'd been careful not to vent her anger on Yinzhen. So, after making this decision, she'd adopted a cold, evasive approach. Boys are all about prestige; how could they care less about a passionate love that ended in a cold reception? They'd surely give up soon. By then, Yinzhen could return to a normal life, and she could peacefully pursue her path home. Whether she found it or not was another matter.
But Yinzhen's reaction today was beyond her expectations. Not only did he not give up, but he seemed to be even more deeply in love.
But Qi Buchen still felt a little uneasy, because the words that Yinzhen had just said did not sound like something a native ancient person would say.
This made her wonder if Yinzhen was also possessed by the same person as her.
She couldn't care less about anything else for a moment. She placed her hands on Yinzhen's chest, trying to distance herself from him. She looked him up and down warily, "Who are you?"
"..." Yinzhen was almost choked. So this is what he got in return for his heartfelt confession?
His face darkened, and he exerted force with his hands, hugging the person tighter in his arms: "I am your master!"
Qi Buchen looked at him suspiciously and tentatively asked, "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron?"
Yinzhen frowned in confusion: "What did you say?"
Seeing that he really didn't react to this sentence, Qi Buchen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Haha, nothing, nothing..."
Yinzhen looked at her dimly, his eyes filled with hurt: "Do you really have to treat me like this?"
He expressed his feelings sincerely, but she was talking nonsense and avoiding the topic.
"I..." Qi Buchen finally realized how hurtful her reaction just now was to Yinzhen.
She sighed, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Yinzhen asked stubbornly, he must get an answer today.
"Let me go first." Qi Buchen felt very uncomfortable being held in the embrace.
Yinzhen refused: "No, you will run away again if I let you go." The words "You have a criminal record" were written in his eyes.
"Let go, it's not going to be a good thing." Qi Buchen said helplessly, "I won't run, I absolutely won't run. If I run, I'll be a dog, okay?"
"You said it." Yinzhen hesitated and let go of his hand. In fact, he didn't want to let go. Fu Jin felt soft and cool in his arms, which was especially comfortable in this summer.
But Fu Jin was right, this was indeed not a good thing, he had just hugged her without thinking much, it was definitely not intentional.
Qi Buchen relaxed, took a step back and prepared to find a place to do it, but just as he was about to raise his foot, his collar was grabbed.
Yinzhen was looking at her warily: "Where are you going?"
Qi Buchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Find a place to sit down. Aren't you tired of standing?"
Only then did Yinzhen let go of her hand, but he followed her closely. After she sat down, he chose the nearest seat and sat down too.
After sitting down, he stared at Qi Buchen's face without relaxing for a moment.
Qi Buchen felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him, and coughed lightly: "Where were we talking just now?"
"What do you mean by that?" Yinzhen still stared at her.
Qi Buchen lost all the breath he had just taken and really didn't know how to answer this question.
After waiting for her to speak for a long time, Yinzhen leaned towards Qi Buchen and asked in a very oppressive tone, "What should I do to satisfy you?"
Qi Buchen sighed: "You don't need to do anything, just be yourself."
"And then?" Yinzhen pressed on.
"Then..." Qi Buchen sighed continuously, "Then I will be your fourth wife, and we will... respect each other like guests."
Yinzhen frowned. Treating each other with respect is a nice word, nowadays used to praise the love between husband and wife, but he always felt that Qi Buchen did not mean that.
Qi Buchen also realized that treating each other with respect had not yet evolved into the ironic meaning it later developed.
She pursed her lips and said, "I will be a perfect Fourth Lady and help you manage the Fourth Prince's residence and handle your external connections."
"What about me?" Yinzhen had a bad feeling in his heart.
Qi Buchen looked at him deeply and said, "You are the Fourth Prince, the master of the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
Yinzhen understood the meaning that Qi Buchen had not expressed, and felt very sad. He had never thought that he would be rejected. He always felt that Fu Jin was not without feelings for him.
"Why? Is it because of those people that my mother wants to bestow?" Yinzhen asked with red eyes.
Qi Buchen felt a little guilty and avoided his gaze involuntarily: "No, it's just that I don't have the same feeling as you."
When faced with a choice, she realized that although she had lived here honestly for two years, her heart had never settled down and she was still worried about the place far away.
As such, she couldn't irresponsibly stir up other people's feelings here.
"I don't believe it!" Yinzhen stood up quickly, walked in front of Qi Buchen, looked down at her and met her gaze, saying word by word, "You're lying! It's impossible that you don't have feelings! Tell me the truth and tell me the real reason."
Qi Buchen was a little annoyed by his self-righteous and aggressive attitude, but he certainly couldn't tell the real reason. So he simply agreed to Yinzhen's wishes and said, "Yes, it's just what you think. It's because of this matter. What do you think?"
Her attitude made Yinzhen even more heartbroken. He murmured absentmindedly, "Why? You knew before the wedding that the palace would take someone in, didn't you?"
"Yes, I know." Qi Buchen nodded happily, "But so what? My heart is mine. I decide what kind of person it likes. In this world, not even the emperor can control it!"
"How outrageous!" The contempt for imperial power in Qi Buchen's tone made Yinzhen subconsciously scold him.
Qi Buchen sneered, "I'm being presumptuous, so what? I'm going to continue, do you know why I don't like it? It's not because I'm jealous, it's because I think it's dirty, dirty, do you understand? You've been touched by so many people, you're already dirty, I think it's disgusting, how could I possibly like someone who makes me disgusted?"
"That's enough!" Yinzhen's forehead veins throbbed, and he wished he could shut up that sharp-tongued little mouth. "Watch your words."
"Words? What's wrong with my words? Is it wrong to use dirty words? Oh, I forgot that you men are the best at double standards." Qi Buchen became excited. What she hated most in her two lives was people with double standards. "Do you think what I said is wrong? Then let's switch places. Before I married you, I also had a few people I liked, but don't worry, I just held hands with them and hugged them at most. I didn't do anything else. How about it, much better than you, right? If that doesn't count for you, then these things of mine don't count either. You won't mind or think I'm dirty, right?"
"What did you say?!" Yinzhen looked at her dangerously, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
"Ha! So what if I said it! You dare to do it but are afraid of what people say?" Qi Buchen said sarcastically.
"I didn't do it!" Yinzhen growled.
“…”
To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing.
Qi Buchen had originally planned to go all out and turn the world upside down, but was deflated by this sentence, because Yinzhen really had not done it, or to be more precise, he had not had time to do it, so her attitude just now seemed a bit unreasonable.
Mistake, misstep.
Qi Buchen was still secretly embarrassed when Yinzhen's face suddenly pressed down, getting very close to her face: "Who was that person you just mentioned?"
"Ah?" Qi Buchen was suddenly confused. "Who?"
"Hold hands!" Yinzhen held her hand. "Hold... hold!" He put his arm around her shoulders and stared at her intently. "...person."
Qi Buchen was a little flustered by his approaching breath, and pushed him away in anger: "What's it to you?"
Yinzhen was caught off guard and was pushed, staggering. After he stood firm, he lowered his head and said nothing, but his fists hanging at his sides were clenched tightly.
Qi Buchen was a little afraid of his punch, and for a moment he didn't even have time to think about anything else. All he could think about was how to dodge if he was hit.
But Yinzhen suddenly took half a step forward, squatted in front of her, held her hands, tilted his head back, with the corners of his eyes and lower eyelids still flushed red, and he looked extremely innocent.
He said to Qi Buchen aggrievedly: "I didn't do it, you are wronging me."
Qi Buchen took a deep breath and felt his heart stop.
Oh my god, how can this man be so capable!
"You have wronged someone. Don't you plan to apologize?" Yinzhen tilted his head slightly.
Awei is dead!
Qi Buchen screamed madly in his heart, and apologized dazedly and stammered: "I'm... I'm sorry?"
"I forgive you." Yinzhen suddenly dropped his innocent look and said seriously, "Can you reconsider?"
Qi Buchen was confused by his ever-changing attitude and asked blankly, "What are you considering?"
Yinzhen took her hand, pressed it against his heart, and said sincerely, "Think about it."
Qi Buchen pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Yinzhen's expression gradually became lost, but he cheered up again: "You can think about it slowly, I will let you see."
Yinzhen didn't say what he saw. He slowly stood up, remained silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Some of the words you said tonight, I can treat them as your angry words and pretend not to hear them, but in the future... you must be careful, there are some things you can't say casually..."
It’s not anyone, it’s all me.
Qi Buchen lowered his head and said nothing.
"I'm leaving, you should rest early." Yinzhen said he was leaving, but he stood there for a while before leaving.
Qi Buchen looked at his receding figure and suddenly slapped his forehead in frustration. What nonsense had she said tonight? She was so old, but her emotional control was still so poor! She was really embarrassed!
Qi Buchen collapsed with despair, thinking about her reactions tonight, he felt embarrassed. This was simply social death, and she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
The scream in her heart was interrupted by Baozhu approaching cautiously outside the door.
"Fujin?"
Qi Buchen sat up instantly, resuming his dignified demeanor as the Fourth Lady: "Come in."
