Seeing Yi Chenli's leg getting better day by day, An Yuan'er was happier than anyone else.
However, what she wanted was definitely not the speed that Yi Chenli gained by enduring pain and harming himself.
In his previous life, Yi Chenli was confined to a wheelchair until his death. Back then, he wasn't as anxious as he is now, and sometimes he would even act in ways that went against his nature.
He should be calm, composed, and in control; this flustered and anxious state is unlike him at all.
The thighs that the girl had kissed felt burning hot.
The girl's pure beauty contrasted sharply with her grotesque veins, yet surprisingly, there was a harmony in this extreme contrast.
Yi Chenli gradually calmed down. The girl's profile was stunning, with fair and delicate skin, and she exuded a faint fragrance that was incredibly alluring!
Since the campsite wasn't very comfortable, Yi Chenli instinctively used his hand as a pillow for the girl.
He loathed his own body, yet he was madly in love with the girl before him.
The more beautiful the girl was, the more he wanted to drag her down with him, to drag her to hell together. He never forced her in the slightest; she was the one who willingly offered herself, approaching him, getting closer to him... If the girl had hesitated even for a moment along the way, perhaps the ending would have been different.
In this life, Yi Chenli was completely and utterly defeated, utterly and completely controlled by someone.
Having experienced both great joy and sorrow during the day, An Yuan'er was quite tired, her eyelids kept drooping, but she just didn't want to fall asleep.
Finally, An Yuan'er hugged Yi Chenli's waist and cautiously asked, "Ali, is it because of me that you want to recover your legs so quickly?"
It seemed like a silly question, but the girl still asked it anyway.
The girl's soft little hands were wrapped around his waist, like she was holding a big toy, clinging to him as if afraid he would run away.
"Yuan'er, you're over 13 years old. Do you know what that means?"
Yi Chenli did not answer directly, but the answer was obvious.
In the Tiansheng Kingdom, women can marry at the age of 13. Yi Chenli knew all too well how captivating the girl before him was. He figured it wouldn't be long before Lord An would choose a suitable husband for her, and he didn't want to be denied even the right to like her.
If he were just an unfavored and talentless prince in Chenyang Palace, or even disabled, what father would be willing to send his daughter into a pit of fire?
Yi Chenli was not without ambition, but many plans were still undecided, and now was indeed not the best time to make a move. However... he could not wait any longer, because he was afraid that if he continued to wait, some things would never belong to him again.
In a daze, An Yuan'er recalled that before Yi Chenli seized the throne in his previous life, he had been enduring humiliation and laying the groundwork for a long time. He waited until Yi Chenxuan and Yi Chenqi had exhausted each other and suffered heavy defeats before subtly revealing his abilities on the border. Moreover, he was not in the palace at that time. In the twenty-sixth year of Tiansheng, the tyrant's army stormed into the palace, killed his brothers and father, and seized the throne with cruel and bloody atrocities.
If we calculate based on the timeline of the previous life, Yi Chenli would have been 27 years old, while An Yuan'er would have been 25.
In Tiansheng, very few women are still unmarried at the age of 25. In her previous life, An Yuan'er married Gu Chuzhi, but Gu Chuzhi and An Piao'er were secretly pregnant. When she was 25, she was divorced and sent back to the An family.
By then, the An family had lost its former glory. After being divorced, An Yuan'er suffered ridicule and bitterness. It was her father and brother who gave her a new opportunity.
