He stood up and looked down at Jiang Yi.
She had shed the confrontational aura she had shown him during the day, and under the dim candlelight, she became unusually gentle.
The peach blossoms are bright and beautiful, suitable for the home.
This reminded him of his mother.
His mother used to be such a gentle woman, but after his father favored his concubine and killed his wife, his mother gradually changed. Not only did she become cruel and ruthless, she also did not care about him, her own son, as before.
He resembles his father, and sometimes his mother would inadvertently reveal a hint of disgust when looking at him.
He missed his mother at that time very much.
Zhao Yu's gaze suddenly became a little infatuated, Jiang Yi suddenly moved, and Zhao Yu quickly withdrew his gaze.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi did not wake up.
Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Yi with complicated eyes.
Because of his previous experiences in the Duke of Rong's Mansion, he had no affection for women at all. He only regarded women as toys for entertainment, and the same was true for Jiang Yi.
But Jiang Yi seems to be different from those women.
She would not flatter him, and even resisted him stubbornly.
Thinking of her previous resistance, Zhao Yu didn't feel too embarrassed or angry.
For the sake of her own innocence, she is not afraid of death.
I was embarrassed and annoyed at that time, but now I have more admiration for him.
Zhao Yu himself is not a chaste person, but he also likes chaste women.
And what about everything she has done for him now? If she really didn't like him, how could she take care of him for a whole night?
She must like me, but because of my disrespectful attitude towards her, she denied her feelings for me.
Zhao Yu thought again of what Jiang Yi had said to him before. She said that he never knew what respect was and that he had no ability to love.
Jiang Yi was right, but more importantly, he felt it was not worth it.
No woman is worthy of his true love, including Jiang Yi.
But he developed a strong interest in Jiang Yi, and this interest became even stronger after she rejected him.
He wanted to get her, not only her body, but also her heart.
For this purpose, it would be okay to let him spend a little bit of thought on it.
She wanted his respect, and he gave it to her. She wanted his love, and he gave it to her, but as to how much of his love was sincere, she was not sure.
Everything is just to satisfy women's pretentious psychology.
He is willing.
Thinking of the woman's touched look when she woke up, Zhao Yu felt a little excited.
Jiang Yi did not sleep well. She felt vaguely itchy on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Yu playing with her hair.
Jiang Yi was startled and stepped back subconsciously, but she almost fell. Zhao Yu grabbed her in time. She suddenly hissed and said quickly, "Let me go! My hands are numb!"
Zhao Yu wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
Jiang Yi shook his hands and quickly stood up. "How is the prince?"
Zhao Yu nodded, "Not bad, thank you for your care yesterday."
Jiang Yi thought that this man finally said something sensible, so he nodded and said, "You are too polite, my lord. It is my duty to take me in."
To Zhao Yu, these words had another meaning.
If she didn't like him, how could she feel that taking care of him was her responsibility? Women really say one thing and mean another.
There was a genuine smile on his face.
"It was my fault before. I thought you were the same as the women I met before, but you are not. I will never be like that again."
Zhao Yu thought he was very sincere, and then looked at Jiang Yi with anticipation.
Jiang Yi was slightly surprised, but she quickly said, "Although the prince was wrong, I was a little excited yesterday, and I won't be like that again."
These words were spoken with a certain humility, reflecting Jiang Yi's usual attitude towards Zhao Yu, which had not changed at all.
She now makes a living under Zhao Yu. If Zhao Yu hadn't been living too excessively, she wouldn't want to offend him.
It would be best if both sides could live in peace.
Zhao Yu was a little disappointed. "Is that all?"
Jiang Yi's watery eyes revealed deep confusion. Her slender fingers were clasped together, and a faint blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks due to nervousness.
She thought to herself, could it be that Zhao Yu wants her to do something else?
She was able to escape death from Zhao Yu's hands once, but could she escape a second time?
Jiang Yi didn't know why he had such a miserable life and had to meet the wrong people one after another.
She thought of the emperor and wished she could have met him earlier.
Thinking of this, she felt like crying.
If the emperor were here, she would definitely cry.
But Zhao Yu was a cold-faced demon. Crying was useless. She tried to hold it in, and finally showed weakness and said, "What else do you want, my prince?"
This display of weakness was different from her previous docility, and Zhao Yu's heart was shamefully moved.
He suddenly understood why his father had doted on that concubine so much in the past.
Her pleading in such a tearful voice made him feel pity for her.
If she had treated him like this earlier, he would definitely not treat her like that.
Zhao Yu despised himself for a moment, then he stood up, took a step forward, and said very seriously: "I have thought carefully just now, and I do have some genuine affection for you. If you follow me, I will not let you down. In the future, I will take you as my concubine, and you will be my only concubine."
Zhao Yu was moved by himself. He had never been so attentive to a woman before.
Jiang Yi didn't expect him to say these words, and she was a little stunned.
Zhao Yu didn't see her respond, so he couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Even if the Crown Prince's wife comes to my house in the future, I will never let her bully you. At worst, I will let you be my concubine."
