But Shen Hechuan had no intention of letting her off so easily.
He kept kissing her lips with forceful kisses, his voice seductive, again and again, just to hear the word "okay" from Gu Jingchun's mouth.
At this moment, Gu Jingchun felt as if he had flown to the clouds, feeling dizzy and his mind went blank.
She didn't think about what Shen Hechuan said, and could only nod in a daze.
Shen Hechuan finally heard a satisfactory answer and relaxed.
He unconsciously lay down on his side next to Gu Jingchun, but his gaze remained fixed on Gu Jingchun's face.
Once upon a time, he had gone from being high and mighty to being as humble as he is now.
He didn't care who Gu Jingchun loved; he just wanted her by his side.
Gu Jingchun's rationality only gradually returned when Shen Hechuan lay beside him.
She thought about how she had just been immersed in Shen Hechuan's forceful kiss.
I was immediately annoyed.
She prided herself on being clear-headed and rational, but over this period of time, under Shen Hechuan's entanglement, she gradually began to lose herself and started to let him do whatever he wanted.
Then she thought about how she had felt uncomfortable today because of his neglect over the past few days, and because he had spoken a single sentence to Situ Mingji alone.
And they began to do this irrational thing.
No, this won't do.
Upon realizing this, Gu Jingchun immediately sat up from the bed and prepared to leave.
However, Shen Hechuan held her back tightly.
"Trying to leave again?"
Shen Hechuan pinned her down again.
Thinking of their earlier interaction, Gu Jingchun feared being swayed by Shen Hechuan again, so he turned his face to the side before saying, "Let me go?"
Shen Hechuan: "Then can you speak properly?"
"Um."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
Shen Hechuan then slowly released Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun sat up, and the two sat at the foot and head of the bed respectively, looking at each other, but for a moment they were speechless.
Shen Hechuan felt smug when he thought about the scene just now, and his slight anger towards Luo Ziqian disappeared.
So now there's only one problem left.
Why are you ignoring me?
Gu Jingchun glanced at him somewhat guiltily.
When did I ever ignore you?
"You've been ignoring me all this time?"
Gu Jingchun: "So, did you even acknowledge me?"
Shen Hechuan paused, speechless for a moment, but Gu Jingchun sneered and continued:
"Since you're ignoring me, why should I bother with you?"
"Just because you are the high and mighty Crown Prince, does that mean I have to obey your every word and be at your beck and call?"
Gu Jingchun grew angrier the more he talked, and finally straightened up and vented his anger on Shen Hechuan.
"Let me tell you, the words 'submissive' and 'obedient' don't exist in my dictionary. All I have is 'you treat me the way I treat you.'"
Since you're ignoring me, I'll ignore you even more.
Since you want other women, I'll go find other men even more.
I……"
Gu Jingchun wanted to say something more, but suddenly Shen Hechuan hugged him.
He had never been so happy.
"Since I love you so much, can you love me in the same way?"
"No……"
Gu Jingchun was speechless for a moment, and after a while he struggled to say: "You are changing the subject. I did not say that."
"Um."
Shen Hechuan nodded, but the smile on his lips never faded.
Perhaps Gu Jingchun herself didn't realize that her words just now had subconsciously treated them as a single entity.
Perhaps, in her heart, she has already tacitly accepted that the two of them are together, but she just hasn't realized it yet.
Shen Hechuan originally wanted to point it out, but seeing Gu Jingchun's current resistant appearance, he didn't say anything more, but just held her and wouldn't let go.
Gu Jingchun lost his temper after being pestered by Shen Hechuan, so he simply let him be.
When Shen Hechuan returned to his study, Tianji noticed that he was in a much better mood, so he went up to him and told him about the information he had recently found.
"Your Highness, we have just discovered that someone sent a secret letter to His Majesty several years ago."
The letter contained information that the Marquis of Yong'an harbored rebellious intentions.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately composed himself.
"Has anyone been found out who did this?"
Tianji shook his head.
"At the time, His Majesty even sent people to investigate the matter, but they found no information and assumed that the letter was a malicious frame-up, so he did not mention it again."
"However, during our investigation, our people discovered that the way the letter was sealed was very similar to the way the letter in the hands of the person who went to the capital to deliver the message to the Marquis of Yong'an was sealed."
As Tianji spoke, he then finished writing a letter and brought it up.
"This is the letter that the man from the Marquis of Yong'an was sent to deliver."
According to him, the reason he was able to reach Tiandu safely and escape danger each time was inseparable from this letter.
Whenever he loses confidence and wants to give up the lawsuit, or when he encounters various difficulties and can't persevere.
He would often receive a letter like this to remind him or to help him.
Just before entering Tiandu, he encountered thieves, but was able to escape danger thanks to the help of a group of kind people.
Therefore, he firmly believed that a benefactor was always secretly protecting him.
Shen Hechuan took the envelope and found that it looked the same as usual, except that the wax seal at the opening looked very special.
Normally envelopes are simply glued on, but these two letters were both sealed with wax.
Moreover, the wax seals are all extremely round and well-shaped, and if you look closely, you can see that they also have unique markings.
The other party must be a very particular person.
Or perhaps the other party is not an individual, but a highly disciplined organization.
Seeing this, Shen Hechuan tapped the table lightly with a few fingers before thinking, "No matter who the other party is, it is certain that their goal currently seems to be the same as ours."
"In that case, let's stop investigating. She'll surely come to light when the time is right."
Tianji nodded and immediately prepared to go down.
But Shen Hechuan called out to him in a sinister tone.
"stop!"
This sinister voice instantly made Tianji's hair stand on end, and he tensed up.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Hechuan raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on him.
"Tell me the truth, where did you learn those methods you taught me from?"
Tianji: "...I learned it from a picture book."
Shen Hechuan: ...
He must have lost his mind to believe what Tianji said, almost causing a disaster.
Fortunately, he did manage to gain something, otherwise he would have definitely skinned Tianji alive today.
