10. Angry
◎I will treat you well◎
Wei Ziyan drank a large bowl of tonic, the bitterness making her nose and eyebrows wrinkle together. She put down the bowl, supported her cheek with one hand, and ate the candied fruit one by one, when she suddenly raised her eyes -
Seeing Yan Qi standing tall in front of her, Wei Ziyan was stunned!
In her memory, Yan Qizheng always avoided her as much as possible in the Wei Mansion, let alone setting foot in her boudoir. She was unconscious that day, and he had no choice but to send her back. What was he doing here now?
Wei Ziyan's eyes fell on the flower basket in his hand and she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
And with flowers!
Yan Qizheng saw her bewilderment, astonishment, and surprise, as well as her childish expression after taking the medicine. He placed the flower basket on the table, sat down across from her, and looked across the round table at her little face, which hadn't fully recovered.
Thinking about the suffering he had suffered, Yan Qizhen's expression and tone were much softer than usual.
"Come and see Miss Ziyan, does the wound still hurt?"
"Oh, much better..."
Wei Ziyan's eyes widened slightly.
Why did you change the name to something so intimate...
"Don't let water touch the wound, it will leave a scar."
"oh......"
"It may itch when the scab forms, so don't scratch it. Apply some ointment."
"oh......"
"Why don't you eat the candied fruit?"
“Oh…ah…” Wei Ziyan stammered, “I…well, my mouth isn’t bitter anymore…”
When had Yan Qizhen ever cared about her so tenderly?
Wei Ziyan had no idea what was going on. She felt like something was not right with Yan Qi today, and the look in her eyes that showed her suspicion of him became more and more obvious.
Yan Qizhen naturally understood the suspicion. Thinking of what Madam Wei had just said, he thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.
"If it weren't for Miss Ziyan that day, I wouldn't have escaped unscathed. I'm deeply grateful to Miss Ziyan for risking her life to save me. I came to visit her today and also wanted to say to her..."
say what?
Hearing him calling "Miss Zi Yan" left and right, Wei Zi Yan felt a little nervous.
"I have failed Miss Zi Yan in the past. I have sincerely repented and will never be so heartless and ungrateful to her again."
"When Miss Ziyan recovers from her injuries, I will come to propose marriage and choose a date to marry her."
“…”
What what what?
Wei Ziyan almost couldn't believe her ears!
Yan Qizheng said he wanted to marry her?
After a long while, Wei Ziyan finally lowered her jaw in shock and tremblingly confirmed, "You, you said...you want to marry me...as your wife?"
"That's right!" Yan Qizhen opened his thin lips slightly, decisively and straightforwardly.
Although he had expected it, Wei Ziyan's overly shocked reaction still exceeded his expectations.
However, she had been rejected for so many years, so it was normal for her to be surprised at this moment.
Perhaps his mentality has changed, the more Yan Qizhen looks at her, the more he likes her, as if every little expression of hers is pretty and cute.
To be honest, she has bright eyes, white teeth, and a natural beauty. Not only is she beautiful, she is also beautiful...
Quite to his liking...
"I don't agree!!" A harsh voice suddenly interrupted Yan Qizhen's thoughts.
The rejection came so suddenly that he was completely surprised.
"Why?"
"I don't want to!"
"Why not?"
"You, you are just trying to repay a favor." Wei Ziyan made up an excuse casually.
"Why not? There's gratitude and affection." Yan Qizheng thought it was a natural thing to do. "Even if there's less affection now, it will naturally increase after we become husband and wife."
It seems... to make some sense.
Wei Ziyan frowned.
She could even imagine that if her parents heard that Yan Qizhen was proposing marriage, they would say exactly the same thing.
Oops! Wei Ziyan knocked her head with her hand. It seemed that the only way to clarify the misunderstanding was to tell the truth.
"Actually, I didn't really want to save you at that time."
In order to dissuade Yan Qizhen from repaying his kindness, Wei Ziyan took the risk.
"It was Liu Yu'er who said we couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, so I rode over here with her."
"later......"
Wei Ziyan swallowed, "Then that person came at me with a knife. I was scared and wanted to pull you over to hide behind you, but I pulled you away instead, and I got stabbed myself."
"So I didn't save you at all. You were just lucky and didn't get tricked by me..."
…
…
silence.
Silence without a word.
Yan Qizhen's expression darkened, and his thick eyebrows were obviously squeezed together.
Now he shouldn't think about marrying her to repay his kindness anymore, right?
Wei Ziyan observed him quietly, her heart slowly falling. But suddenly, Yan Qizheng smiled softly. His smile was tinged with helplessness, self-mockery, and a hint of bitterness.
"Zi Yan..." He called her name softly, "Even if you didn't really want to save me, I won't let you down for all the years of love you've shown me."
"I was blinded by my own ignorance in the past. From now on, I will respond to you, treat you well, and never let you suffer any more injustice."
…
This time it was her turn to be speechless.
Yan Qizhen's attitude changed 180 degrees, his hard-hearted heart suddenly became as warm as the wind, which made her confused for a moment.
Why did he suddenly change? Where was the proud and cold Yan Qizheng?
Why is it that now he not only does not object to the marriage, but also wants to marry her even though he knows that she saved him by accident?
What to do? What to do?
If Yan Qizheng is willing to marry her, her parents will definitely marry her off! !
"Zi Yan..." Just when she was at a loss, Yan Qizhen gave her another look.
Following his gaze, Wei Ziyan lowered her head and realized that the candied fruit had been crumpled into a ball in her hand. She quickly threw the candied fruit away and rubbed her fingers together in confusion.
"You should have a good rest. I'll go talk to Madam Wei." As he said that, Yan Qizheng stood up.
As long as he goes to talk to his mother, there will be no turning back!
Wei Ziyan stood up suddenly, holding onto the table: "I don't like you!"
Yan Qi was about to take a step, but stopped abruptly in the middle of the words.
"I said I don't want to, because I don't like you anymore!"
"Ever since you said you didn't even want me as a concubine, I stopped liking you. I don't want to marry you!"
…
…
There was another moment of silence. Yan Qizhen slowly turned around and looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
After a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as before, as if he was feeling a mixture of emotions.
"really......"
"You just said you didn't really want to save me, but you were lying, right? You're just making up a reason not to marry me because you hold a grudge against me."
Well?
Wei Ziyan's eyes widened.
"What I said before was indeed hurtful, so it's natural for you to hold a grudge against me." Yan Qizhen's voice was deep and firm.
"Well, love breeds hatred. I don't believe you when you say you don't like me. You're just angry now, so you don't want to marry me."
"I......"
Faced with Yan Qizhen's rebuttal, Wei Ziyan was speechless!
Just at this critical moment, Qiu Luo came with his mother.
Mrs. Wei went to see Yan Qizhen, but she felt a little worried.
After all, my daughter's injury has just begun to improve. Don't let her get too excited when she sees Yan Qizhen and make a lot of noise, and accidentally hurt herself again.
At this moment, outside the house, the two of them were standing opposite each other two steps apart. Both of them looked a little strange, as if something had happened. Mrs. Wei hurried in.
Yan Qizheng glanced at Madam Wei, then at Wei Ziyan. The latter was secretly winking at him, hinting that he should not speak carelessly, but he had already made up his mind.
"Madam Wei..."
"mother--"
Yan Qi had barely opened his mouth when Wei Ziyan interrupted him. But how could she come up with an answer? She was speechless after calling out "mother," and she felt anxious.
Madam Wei noticed something was wrong: "What's going on?"
"Madam Wei," Yan Qizhen spoke again, his tone calm and composed.
"Qi Zheng and Miss Zi Yan just talked about getting married. Qi Zheng sincerely wanted to propose marriage, but Miss Zi Yan was angry and didn't want to marry."
"Why are you holding on to this anger?" Without a second thought, Madam Wei naturally stood on Yan Qizhen's side. She embraced her daughter with amusement.
"You've liked Qi Zheng for so many years, but you're not going to marry him out of spite? If Qi Zheng really turns around and marries another girl, won't you regret it so much that you'll jump into the river?"
"Yes, Miss," Qiu Luo happily chimed in when she heard that her future son-in-law was coming to propose marriage. "Haven't you always said you'd marry no one but Young Master Yan?"
.......
At this moment, Wei Ziyan was in tears!
In order to establish her image as a love-struck person, she made the fact that she liked Yan Qizhen known to everyone, so that for a while no one would believe anything she said!
If she said she didn't like Yan Qizhen, everyone would think she was sulking.
Including Yan Qizhen himself.
At this point, Wei Ziyan had no choice but to make up her mind!
"Yes, I really don't want to get married because I'm angry!"
"Yan Yuwen, it's so unfair between us. I like you, but you are not."
"You said you would treat me well in the future. How good will that be? Will you only treat me well? If you take a concubine or a sidekick in the future, will you still be kind to me?"
Yan Qizheng frowned, not understanding what was said.
Wei Ziyan swallowed again and made one last unreasonable and tricky request with difficulty.
"But I won't allow you to have another lover..."
"So, if you want me to marry you, you must swear that you will never take a concubine or a mistress in your lifetime!"
