“Go on.”
"They made a bet that whoever finds you and wins your heart can become the head of the Ten Kings of Hell." Bao Jingye took a deep breath and threw out these words!
After saying that, he disappeared instantly, not daring to utter another word.
"A bet?" Zhong Yan narrowed her eyes. She had heard this phrase before, but hearing him mention it now made her feel particularly strongly about it.
Could it be true?
Zhong Yan glanced at Jiang Xiaochen, not wanting to believe for a second that he had ulterior motives towards her! But if that were the case, how should it be accounted for?
Jiang Xiaochen gritted his teeth. Damn it, there are always treacherous people trying to harm me! And they're doing it so secretly, making things difficult for me. Aren't they just making things difficult for me?
Besides, even if he made a bet with anyone or got along with anyone, he would never make a move on Zhong Yan.
He's lying to you!
"No!" Bao Jingye denied repeatedly: "How could I lie! Besides, even if I were to lie, I wouldn't lie about something like this. Your Highness, even if you don't want to admit it, you can't lie! Anyway, I would never lie."
"You wouldn't lie?!" Jiang Xiaochen gritted his teeth. "So you mean I'm lying! I want to hurt Zhong Yan? Bao Jingye, you'd better think this through before you speak."
Bao Jingye's eyes and heart were filled with bitterness! That astringent taste lingered around him, refusing to dissipate. What could he possibly say about this feeling?
He thought about it again and again, but decided to continue!
If you don't speak, all the blame will fall on you; but if you do speak, then you can't blame yourself, can you?
Thinking about it this way, it's better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than to die for myself!
"Didn't you remember everything? If that's the case, then you should know everything about your past life. Why are you pretending to know nothing now?"
"uh-huh?"
“To be honest, you’re just being ridiculous, utterly ridiculous,” Bao Jingye said boldly. “Back then, so many people advised you against it, but you wouldn’t listen! And the other princes had the same idea.”
As she spoke, she actually started to cry, feeling wronged!
Did he have an easy time getting to where he is now?
Look at this attitude of yours, it's like you owe him something.
Jiang Xiaochen fell silent. In fact, he knew nothing, let alone remembered anything! But if he said it directly, wouldn't that be like undermining himself?
This is something that absolutely must not be done.
Otherwise, you'll definitely lose out!
Thinking this, his expression became even more serious.
"Yan Yan, do you believe me?"
"I believe you." Zhong Yan trusted her intuition. She couldn't just doubt him because of a few casual remarks from others; that made no sense at all!
It's just making things difficult for yourself; in the end, it will only make everyone more unhappy.
For the sake of her own future and the stability of their relationship, Zhong Yan would never choose to believe Bao Jingye, an unrelated outsider!
Jiang Xiaochen felt somewhat relieved. In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhong Yan was a very insecure person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued her for so long and used all sorts of tricks and coercion to get her to give him any reaction.
If possible, he hoped she could give him some time, at least enough time for him to prove that he was completely innocent.
