Zhong Yan fell silent. He seemed unable to listen to anything she was saying, and she was quite troubled. She had already said what she should and shouldn't have said.
What does it mean that he won't let me speak?
“Jiang Xiaochen, listen to me, our respective positions already make it clear…”
"What does that mean? I'm a person, and you're a person too." Jiang Xiaochen's words were simple and blunt: "Does it mean that people can't marry each other?!"
"That's not what I meant..." Zhong Yan's lips twitched. What marriage?! Even if they were together, there was no need to talk about such a distant issue.
Hearing him say that, she felt not only embarrassed but also a little ashamed.
Zhong Yan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
But when Jiang Xiaochen saw her expression, he couldn't help but soften: "Zhong Yan, I don't ask for much, I just hope you won't keep turning me away."
Zhong Yan: "..."
Could she refuse? It seems she had no room to refuse at all, and that's what's really hurtful.
Jiang Xiaochen pressed on: "Although I don't have much time, you must understand that all my time is yours. Zhong Yan, are you willing?"
Zhong Yan: "..."
She didn't want to!
Why can't the two of them just be ordinary friends? Why does he insist on getting closer to her? She has a feeling that once she gets involved in the affairs of the Five-Colored Stone, she will be in trouble immediately.
Besides, if Jiang Xiaochen really is King Qin Guang, how will things end up?
Jiang Xiaochen always felt that she was not as gentle as she appeared on the surface, nor was she as easy to talk to as she seemed.
But seeing her with this expression, he still felt somewhat defeated.
"Fine, fine! I won't force you."
"Really?" Zhong Yan's eyes flickered slightly, a glimmer of hope flashing in them: "Forget it! You say you won't force me, but in reality, you're still forcing me. I don't believe you."
"When did I pressure you?" Jiang Xiaochen sighed, leaning closer to her, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you know what it's like when I pressure you?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a kiss landed on his lips.
Zhong Yan was dumbfounded. Although he had kissed her several times before, it had all been brief and infrequent, more like a warning. Now, however, he wasn't giving her any room to object!
"Jiang Xiaochen! Have you gone mad?"
"Am I crazy? Perhaps." Jiang Xiaochen's voice was low and hoarse, each word distinct: "I went crazy the moment I saw you. Zhong Yan, I love you, I want you, and I hope to be with you forever."
Zhong Yan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. He was holding her so tightly that she could hardly breathe! She wondered if he had made a mistake. Who would fall in love at first sight, especially with this kind of attitude?
Jiang Xiaochen was not going to give her another chance to refuse him. Now that a rival had appeared, what he had to do was to win her over as soon as possible.
Hmm...
Ideally, you should just hold her in your arms.
No one can take it from us!
“Zhong Yan, give me a promise, even just a word, and I will see hope. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to endure life without you when I go back to the army.”
How did you manage to endure it before?
“That’s because I didn’t know you existed,” Jiang Xiaochen said matter-of-factly. “If I had known earlier, I would have found you long ago! Zhong Yan, you are mine.”
