Chapter Ninety-One: Xie Yanzhi, you are shameless!
Seeing that he sat back down and did not overstep his bounds again, Shen Qingnian's heart gradually calmed down.
At this moment, Chen Jiangyuan stood in front of the carriage and said, "Your Highness, the ruts cannot be repaired, they can only be replaced. I have already sent someone to fetch a new one."
"Please take my carriage back first."
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian also said to Xie Yanzhi, "Then I will go down first, Your Highness, please take care."
She still did not want to be alone with Xie Yanzhi.
Now that they've already talked things out, they shouldn't meet again or have any further involvement.
Xie Yanzhi glanced at Shen Qingnian and saw her lifting her skirt to get down.
She seemed to be avoiding him at all costs, and I knew in my heart that she probably didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
He couldn't help but scoff inwardly; what a ruthless person.
When he learned that she had left, he was filled with rage and wanted nothing more than to drag her back and punish her severely.
But after searching for her in Tongzhou for several days without success, he became worried that something had happened to her. His anger had subsided, and as long as she was safe, he would forgive her and not punish her.
Finally, when he learned that she was in Yunzhou, he felt a sense of relief.
Upon arriving in Yunzhou, he didn't hesitate to reveal his identity to curry favor with Governor Chen. After borrowing manpower and conducting a thorough search, they finally spotted her in the shop.
The feeling of having lost something and then regaining it made him suppress the urge to appear before her, afraid of frightening her.
But now she wants to sever ties with him; how could that be possible without his permission?
Almost irresistibly, Xie Yanzhi grabbed Shen Qingnian's wrist.
Shen Qingnian tried to struggle a couple of times, trying to pull her hand away. Xie Yanzhi ignored her struggles and continued to hold her wrist tightly.
A look of terror appeared on Shen Qingnian's face, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Afraid that Chen Jiangyuan would hear, Shen Qingnian suppressed the tremor in her voice and asked softly, "What is Your Highness doing? You just said you wouldn't force me anymore."
"yes."
Xie Yanzhi chuckled when he saw the fear on Shen Qingnian's face.
He said he wouldn't force her anymore, and she believed him? He found it amusing that she believed him so easily.
Xie Yanzhi chuckled to himself, thinking that since he had decided from the beginning that he would not let go of Shen Qingnian, why should he suppress his true nature any longer?
He was going to force himself on her!
He used to be ignorant of love, but because of Shen Qingnian's appearance, he unknowingly fell in love and was unable to control his feelings.
He only knew how to pamper her, indulge her, and treat her gently in everything, forgetting what kind of person he was, which made her not cherish his sincerity.
Lie to him, avoid him, ignore him!
Shen Qingnian's heartless words have now made him a little more sober.
Since he can't let her go, then let her truly see what kind of person he, the heir of the Marquis of Jingnan, really is!
His favoritism is not something everyone can receive.
Now that she has already won him over, she can only stay with him and his heart.
Furthermore, if being gentle doesn't work, then he'll be more assertive; he refuses to believe he can't subdue her!
He has never failed to get what he wants at the banquet!
"Then why are you still..." Shen Qingnian struggled even more, trying to shake off that big hand.
The more she struggled, the tighter Xie Yanzhi gripped her hand.
"Shen Qingnian, since we've known each other for a while, why don't you ride in the carriage with me one more time? After that, we'll have nothing to do with each other, okay?"
Shen Qingnian stopped struggling. Seeing Xie Yanzhi's determined look and refusal to let go, she nodded helplessly and turned to sit back down.
Xie Yanzhi's hand, which had been on her arm, now gripped her hand tightly, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Looking at Xie Yanzhi's somewhat sinister gaze, she desperately wanted to pull her hand back, but dared not move, fearing that she would anger Xie Yanzhi and cause him to lay a hand on her again.
Seeing that Shen Qingnian sat down obediently, Xie Yanzhi was somewhat satisfied. He looked out the curtain and said, "Then thank you very much, Young Master Chen. I'll take Madam Fang home first."
Chen Jiangyuan originally wanted to ask Shen Qingnian to get down and wait with him for the carriage to change its tracks, so that he could have more time to spend with her.
Now, the young master says he wants to send Lady Fang back, but Lady Fang is so afraid of the young master.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried, and tried asking again, "Madam Fang, shall we ask the young master to let you go back?"
Shen Qingnian lifted a corner of the curtain with her other hand, trying her best to appear normal, and smiled slightly at Chen Jiangyuan outside: "Then I'll trouble you, Young Master. Young Master Chen, please go back as soon as the carriage is repaired."
Upon hearing Shen Qingnian's words, Chen Jiangyuan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Shen Qingnian to agree so easily.
Madam Fang could have easily refused the prince.
But then I noticed she had a smile on her face and seemed quite happy.
He then realized that the man was the heir of the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion. With such a distinguished family background, and the heir himself being handsome and dashing, what woman in this world wouldn't be moved?
But even Madam Fang couldn't escape the common practice?
A slight bitterness welled up in his heart. He hadn't had a chance to express his feelings for Fang Niangzi, so he could only keep them buried in his heart.
Chen Jiangyuan nodded, then signaled the driver to drive away.
Shen Qingnian lowered the curtain and turned around to find Xie Yanzhi already sitting down next to her.
She couldn't help but move an inch to the side, and Xie Yanzhi followed suit.
Shen Qingnian pushed Xie Yanzhi away with her hand, her brows furrowing: "Young Master, please don't come any closer."
Xie Yanzhi was not angry at her resistance. Instead, he smiled slightly and whispered in her ear, "Call me cousin."
Shen Qingnian felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but ask again, "Didn't the young master say that he wouldn't force me anymore?"
Xie Yanzhi looked at her and smiled gently: "Yes, but I've changed my mind, is that not allowed?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian's body trembled uncontrollably, and she retreated to the side in disbelief.
Tears welled up instantly in her eyes, and she struggled violently with her hands.
Seeing how fiercely she was resisting, Xie Yanzhi tightened his grip on her hand.
Shen Qingnian felt as if his hand was about to be crushed, and waves of pain came over her.
What frightened her even more was that she also saw a mocking and determined look in Xie Yanzhi's eyes.
He never intended to let her go.
"Let go, you're hurting me," Shen Qingnian said angrily.
Seeing the pained and regretful look on Shen Qingnian's face, Xie Yanzhi's smile deepened. He took Shen Qingnian's hand in his and slowly played with it, saying lightly, "What are you struggling for? I've done things more intimate than this, haven't I?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian felt a bone-chilling cold spread through her body.
Xie Yanzhi pinched her chin again, a cold smile on his lips: "I did say I wouldn't force Shen Qingnian anymore."
"But you are Lady Fang now!"
