Chapter 155 She Almost Pleaded
Shen Qingnian's scalp ached from his tugging, and looking into his sinister gaze, she felt a little scared.
She simply placed her hand over Xie Yanzhi's hand, attempting to pry his hand open.
She had originally wanted to say a few more words, but she swallowed them back.
The pain in her scalp prevented her from saying anything that would drive Xie Yanzhi mad.
Fearing she might cause trouble, Shen Qingnian dared not move an inch, only looking at Xie Yanzhi with uneasy eyes.
The do-or-die, all-or-nothing spirit they had shown earlier was gone.
Despite Shen Qingnian's changes, Xie Yanzhi still couldn't loosen his grip on her hair.
Looking at this person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, staring at him with such innocent and frightened eyes, he felt even more irritated.
He's been so good to her, yet she's still thinking of leaving. If that's the case, then she's forcing him to use some ruthless methods to keep her.
Thinking of this, Xie Yanzhi loosened his grip on Shen Qingnian's hair and turned to walk away.
Shen Qingnian saw Xie Yanzhi loosen his hair, and then saw him walk to the small table and sit in the chair opposite him, his eyes no longer showing the fierceness they had just displayed.
He was simply propping his head up with his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
Then Xie Yanzhi said leisurely, "If you really want to leave, that's fine too."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian felt no joy whatsoever; instead, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Every time Xie Yanzhi tries to be kind and says things that please her, the result is never what she wants.
This time, however, she had no idea what trap he had set for her, waiting for her to fall into it.
She wiped away her tears and, playing along, asked, "Does Your Highness truly wish to let me go?"
Xie Yanzhi chuckled lightly: "Of course."
"It's not like I can't live without you."
Xie Yanzhi changed the subject: "However, you have to let me sleep with you for a few years first. When I get tired of you, I will let you go."
Sleep for a few years?
Shen Qingnian listened to the words and was not surprised. Xie Yanzhi was indeed as shameless as ever.
She turned her head away again, refusing to look at Xie Yanzhi, clearly angered by his words.
"If you think it's too slow, there's an even faster way." Xie Yanzhi felt a little better when he saw her cheeks turn red with anger.
Shen Qingnian turned to look at him again and whispered, "What method?"
She looked at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes, waiting for him to say his next words.
Xie Yanzhi's gaze was sharp as a hawk, and he said slowly and deliberately, "Why don't you bear me two children? Even if you leave, someone will be there to keep me company."
He straightened up again and sneered, "It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
"This method isn't that difficult, is it?"
Shen Qingnian even sent her maid to the clinic to get contraceptive medicine that day, wasn't it because she didn't want to have his child?
He refused to let her have her way.
Shen Qingnian gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, unable to believe Xie Yanzhi's words.
After giving birth to the child, how could she possibly leave? At that time, she would have to stay in the Jingnan Marquis's residence.
Otherwise, if the mistress enters the house, her children will be in danger.
Before Shen Qingnian could think too much, Xie Yanzhi's voice came again.
“When I’m happy, I’ll give them a few bites of food; when I’m unhappy, I’ll whip them so they can atone for your sins as their mother.”
To dare abandon him and leave is a sin, isn't it? The child of a sinner is also a sinner.
"You!" Shen Qingnian was so angry that she couldn't speak. She just looked at Xie Yanzhi and imprinted his ugly face in her heart.
Xie Yanzhi calmly added, "If neither of these methods works, you'll have no choice but to stay."
“However, since you don’t like being my concubine, you don’t have to live in this room or wear these clothes.”
As he spoke, he walked toward her and reached out to peel off her clothes.
Shen Qingnian screamed in fright and desperately tried to shrink back to the corner of the bed, but Xie Yanzhi ruthlessly grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
Ignoring her fear and struggle, Xie Yanzhi stripped her naked in one go.
Shen Qingnian huddled on the bed, reaching out to cover herself with the blanket, trying her best not to look so ashamed.
Xie Yanzhi looked at the clothes scattered on the ground and then at Shen Qingnian trembling, and felt a little better.
He reached out and pulled at the quilt again: "This quilt was also prepared for my aunt. It's made of the finest mulberry silk. You don't need to use it."
Amid Shen Qingnian's scream, the blanket was pulled away from her body.
She could only hold herself tightly, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.
"Now you can go out and stand in the courtyard all night."
Shen Qingnian turned her head, tears welling in her eyes, and looked at Xie Yanzhi in disbelief.
How can she go out in public looking like this? He might as well kill her.
"What, don't want to leave?" Xie Yanzhi raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes looking at her as if he were disgusted by a bug.
Just then, Yuan Qing's voice came from outside the door: "Master, the food has arrived. Should we bring it in now?"
Xie Yanzhi glanced at Shen Qingnian, then looked towards the door, preparing to speak.
Shen Qingnian's eyes were filled with terror. She was completely naked, and if Yuan Qing saw her, she would almost certainly not survive.
The only one who can stop all of this is Xie Yanzhi.
Without thinking twice, she jumped out of bed and hugged Xie Yanzhi: "Your Highness, no..."
Xie Yanzhi let her hug him, but still wanted to shout outside.
Shen Qingnian suddenly wrapped her arms around Xie Yanzhi's neck and kissed his thin lips, silencing the word "in" he was about to utter.
When it comes to kissing, it's always Xie Yanzhi who initiates it; she's always been the one passively receiving it.
Therefore, Shen Qingnian found it difficult to grasp the situation, and for her, this was indeed a difficult task.
Xie Yanzhi looked at her with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her soft lips lightly touching the water like a dragonfly, her movements very gentle and awkward.
Perhaps she still felt wronged, for he saw a tear slowly slide down the corner of her eye.
Xie Yanzhi stood there quietly, letting her do whatever she wanted, letting her do the things he had always hoped she would take the initiative to do.
Shen Qingnian received no response from Xie Yanzhi. She gently opened her eyes, looked at him with misty eyes, and almost pleaded, "Please don't let anyone in, okay?"
Xie Yanzhi took a step back and gave her a thorough once-over.
"Are you afraid of being seen? But you're not my aunt, why should I protect you?"
As he spoke, he sat back down in his chair, looking at her with a stern face.
Shen Qingnian felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze; she was in such a wretched state.
She understood Xie Yanzhi's meaning; he simply wanted her to admit that she had voluntarily become his concubine.
Looking at Xie Yanzhi's calm face and calm eyes, Shen Qingnian felt very uneasy.
Xie Yanzhi's reaction indicates that the angrier he is, the more serious the consequences will be.
She had angered Xie Yanzhi quite a bit today, and if she didn't appease him now, she couldn't imagine what else he might do to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingnian clenched her hands, enduring the humiliation, and walked step by step to Xie Yanzhi, squatting down at his feet.
She reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "I am your aunt."
"Are you?" Xie Yanzhi looked down at her.
