Chapter 120 Do you believe in past lives?
After taking a bath, Dou Wenyi emerged from the washroom wearing only a thin undergarment. The biting wind brazenly slipped in through her collar, sending a chill down her neck.
She yawned and looked up groggily.
Moonlight filtered through, scattering like snowflakes, and the window was wide open, letting in a gust of cold wind. After she closed the window and turned around, she suddenly saw a tall, blurry figure standing before her.
"Who?" Their gazes met, and Dou Wenyi's eyes were filled with shock.
Pei Siyan emerged from the shadows.
She wore a light, thin undergarment, with a crimson bodice peeking out from beneath. The moonlight bathed her, making her appear as radiant as the moon itself, breathtakingly beautiful.
Pei Siyan was almost mesmerized by the sight. The delicate floral fragrance of the soapberry wafted into his nose, causing his heart to skip a beat, his Adam's apple to bob, and a sense of restlessness to rise within him.
"...Your Highness, how did you get in?"
The heavy shadow, carrying a chill, approached her step by step. The overwhelming pressure of the crown prince left her nowhere to escape.
Dou Wenyi's face turned slightly pale, and her sleepiness dissipated. She gripped the hem of her dress tightly and backed away until her back pressed against her dressing table.
Since he dared to break into Yilan Courtyard at night, he dared to request permission to let her enter the East Palace tomorrow!
"Pei Siyan!" In the dim light, she saw him reach out his hands towards her, as if he wanted to hug her, but this was in the Dou family's house!
Dou Wenyi's heart leaped into her throat, and she trembled uncontrollably. "What... are you going to do?"
"Dou Wenyi, what exactly is your relationship with him?"
".......who?"
She paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
It seems he still cares about Xie Guidu's matter, and came to cause trouble overnight.
"Xie Guidu?" Dou Wenyi was both surprised and shocked.
Pei Siyan's gaze darkened further, and he uttered a single word in a cold tone, "Yes, and that little girl too!"
His aggressive gaze swept over her terrified face. He didn't want to find out what secrets she was hiding from another man!
Dou Wenyi knew things were going badly, so she softened her voice and begged for forgiveness, "Pei Siyan, I shouldn't have stood you up today, but I'm cold. Please let me change into my robe first, and then I'll explain things to you properly, okay?"
Pei Siyan's heart turned cold. Her soft, delicate mouth was always good at deceiving people. Not only could she say some heartless things, but she would also deliberately hide a bunch of mysteries, making him unable to figure her out.
She must give him a clear explanation today!
Those rough, large hands suddenly gripped her waist, lifting her hips without a doubt. Dou Wenyi's feet suddenly dangled in the air, her face turning pale with shock. She could only hold on to him tightly.
Pei Siyan carried her onto the bed, tucked her into the brocade quilt, and then took off his shoes and socks, undressed, and followed him onto the bed.
"I'm cold too!"
His heart had been cold all night; couldn't she warm it up for him too?
Dou Wenyi was both ashamed and anxious, and kicked him hard. "Pei Siyan, are you crazy? How can the Crown Prince break into a private residence in the middle of the night? What kind of behavior is this?"
Pei Siyan ignored her punches and kicks. After tearing down the curtain, he forcefully held her in his arms, even intertwining her legs with his, forbidding her to move.
He curled his lips into a cold smile, "You've already slept in my bed before, so can't I sleep in it for a bit in return?"
Just then, the sound of a night watchwoman's footsteps could be heard outside.
Dou Wenyi was shocked and hurriedly covered his mouth, saying, "Keep your voice down."
Pei Siyan's heart was itching with excitement, and he said with a mix of threat and coaxing, "I won't touch you! The sooner you explain yourself, the sooner I'll leave and won't cause you any trouble."
Dou Wenyi's tense back suddenly relaxed; it was she who had thought so badly of him. But with him holding her like this, how could she possibly be innocent?
Thinking about his inquisitive attitude, she began to hesitate again.
The events of her past life were too unbearable to mention again, and she had no desire to have any connection with Xie Guidu whatsoever!
However, Pei Siyan did not get a satisfactory answer tonight and would not let her off easily.
Dou Wenyi sorted out her chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and asked, "Pei Siyan, do you believe in past lives?"
There are countless Buddhist teachings about past lives, present lives, and the six realms of reincarnation. He had never believed in them before, but now, too many unusual occurrences left him no choice but to believe.
"I do remember some things from my past life, and I did have a tragic relationship with him, but he was so heartbreaking that I really don't want to mention it. As for that little girl, she reminds me of someone I used to know... I can't help but feel sad."
"A tragic fate?" In the darkness, Pei Siyan's expression shifted unpredictably before he smiled silently.
Inside the boudoir, a delicate fragrance of a young woman wafted through the air. Her soft body was held firmly in his arms, their bodies intertwined, tender and affectionate.
At this moment, the anger that had been building up all night finally dissipated, and the restless heart gradually calmed down.
Since it's a tragic fate, the content in that picture book is already distorted. Does Xie Guidu not have any fabricated elements?
Although Pei Siyan was not good at matters between men and women, he had seen far too many women in the harem who used all sorts of tricks to win favor.
That's ridiculous!
That's outrageous!
How dare a mere ant provoke him and embarrass him?
Since it's a matter of the past life, and the cycle of birth and death has ended, what does it have to do with this life?
Pei Siyan's hot breath sprayed haphazardly into her ear, his voice low and husky.
"Dou Wenyi, no matter what your past life was like, I only recognize this life! I only want you to love me as the only person you love in this life! You like daughters? Then we'll have more!"
Dou Wenyi was utterly shocked by his lies.
Meeting his burning gaze, she smiled bitterly, "Pei Siyan, how much of your sincerity do you have for me?"
"Even though you know that a woman's reputation is of paramount importance, you still repeatedly treat me with disrespect and never think of my feelings. I will let those things slide for now, but I would rather die than become your concubine!"
Pei Siyan remained unmoved and chuckled, "I promised you long ago that the position of Crown Princess is naturally yours. Don't try to use that as an excuse!"
"So you're going to break off the engagement with Dou Mingyan, disregarding her life-saving grace? How will you explain this to the Emperor and the people?"
Dou Wenyi calmly interrupted him, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"Pei Siyan, even if you can really do that, can you guarantee you won't fall for someone else in the future? You're just playing around with me!"
