Chapter 202 Promise
"That's not entirely true."
Jiang Wan smiled happily.
"The most important thing is because of sincerity. I saw your sincerity towards me in your eyes.
Actually, I'm not as good as you think. You see, I'm narrow-minded and mean-spirited. I can't stand others taking advantage of me. I will take revenge and I will be ruthless.
Doesn't this completely contradict the ideals of a noble lady, and certainly doesn't conform to the current world's expectations of a virtuous woman? I'm too jealous and aggressive, and I don't look like a dignified and virtuous princess, am I?
"It's okay. I don't care."
Li Chengxiu blinked and reached out to hold his wife's hand.
"You've been better than me since you were little. I know you're different from other women. I don't care if you're better than me, I only care if you'll regret choosing me one day."
"Will you make me regret it?
If one day you become like other men and feel that respecting your wife is unmanly and that living alone without having three wives and four concubines is a shameful and regrettable thing,
Then I will definitely regret it!
So, Your Highness, will you make me regret it?"
"Won't!"
Li Chengxiu did not hesitate and was decisive.
"You are my favorite person, and I am happy to follow your arrangements. Anyway, I am not as smart as you, but we are a married couple, so whoever is in charge is the boss, right?"
"That's good."
A smart and beautiful woman with a sly smile in her eyes.
"If you don't do anything that makes me regret, I will never regret it.
Li Chengxiu, I've always felt that in this world, meeting someone like you who loves me is truly my luck."
Li Chengxiu's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, which was more gentle and moving than the moonlight in the sky.
"Jiang Wan, you must remember what you said today."
He gripped the soft hand in his claws a little tighter, with a hidden pleading in his lowered eyes.
"Let's live a good life together and don't be like my brother and the others, okay? I'm not as capable as my brother, but I'm more love-minded than him.
If one day you no longer like me, and you treat me like Song Ziying treats him, then I will definitely be more useless than he is now, really!"
Look, who says that unintelligent people can't win hearts? Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
"You're so stupid! You're the Prince of Qi and I'm the Princess of Qi. If we don't live a good life together, are you really thinking about going to heaven?"
Jiang Wan sighed and tucked herself back into his arms, pressing her right palm against his chest, where her heart was pounding. She was truly gentle at that moment.
"Don't panic. I don't have any ambitions to climb higher. You are already the most suitable person for me. You are my best choice.
Let's not get involved in the muddy waters of the capital. There are so many mouths to feed behind Prince Qi's Mansion. We are already busy with our own affairs, why do you have to care about something so far away?
My dear husband, please listen to my advice. After all, we are already vassal kings. We cannot just talk about brotherhood with the Crown Prince. We must also distinguish between superiors and inferiors.
"The whole world belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects! As subjects, we must uphold our duties as subjects and not lose our sense of justice."
There was a flash of disappointment in Li Chengxiu's eyes. He knew his wife was right, but he still couldn't help but sigh.
"Wife, I feel a little sad.
My brother and I grew up together, born from the same mother. We were one family before, but now we have to have a hierarchy.
Oh, it’s so hard to grow up.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, when a tree grows big, its branches grow big, and when people grow big, their families grow big.
Think about those tigers and wild beasts in the forest. When they grow up, they have to crawl out on their own, carve out their own territory, and separate from their parents and siblings. What about humans?
From now on, if we encounter any help we can provide, we should lend a hand, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of the fate between brothers and sisters. But in the end, everyone has their own life to live, so who can help others survive?
Think more positively. This is the way it is in the world, it's the way it is for everyone. It's just a necessary process of growing up. Why should you be so upset? Don't you still have me by your side?
Jiang Wan patted his arm gently, her tone full of comfort, which was particularly heartwarming to hear under the moonlight.
There was discomfort in Li Chengxiu's eyes, but also longing.
"Can you please never leave me? As long as you don't mind me being unintelligent, I will listen to you and treat you well for the rest of my life."
Jiang Wan had heard these vows many times. Li Chengxiu always expressed his sincerity over and over again without getting tired of it. It was clumsy but very effective.
"Well, I'm not leaving."
The smile in her eyes is happy.
Therefore, those who follow their hearts can make promises gently and easily soothe people's hearts.
Li Chengxiu held his wife tightly in his arms, letting the moonlit breeze entwine them together, his eyes gleaming with joy. This was the first time Wan Jieer had responded so clearly, and it was truly delightful.
The smile on his lips grew wider and wider, and then the tall man suddenly stood up holding his wife, striding towards the inner bedroom impatiently.
He had to let her know how happy he was, eager to share his happiness. He walked to the door, kicked it open, and then closed it behind him, blocking out the breeze and bright moonlight outside, and earnestly acted like a pair of eager mandarin ducks playing in the water.
"Husband, don't be anxious..."
"No, I'm in a hurry!"
"Listen to me first..."
"We'll talk later."
"Li Chengxiu!"
"Hey, wife, don't hit me in the face. I have to go out and meet people tomorrow. You can pinch my arms and waist, I'm thick-skinned and can take a beating!"
He was talking nonsense while his hands were working non-stop, which made Jiang Wan so angry that he pinched him hard a few times.
"Get out of my way! Don't you know how much strength you have? I can't do it today. No, I can't do it in the next few days!"
"Why? You haven't had your period in the past few days, why not?"
The man who was pushed aside by his wife squatted aside with a wronged look on his face, seeking justice for himself.
Jiang Wan sat up straight in bed, his eyelashes fluttering several times. Finally, seeing the pitiful guy, he could only speak helplessly.
"My period should have come a few days ago, but it hasn't come yet, so I..."
"Wife, are you sick?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengxiu immediately wanted to get out of bed to find a doctor, but his wife grabbed him from behind.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to what I have to say!"
There was a little bit of helplessness on her face, but more of it was longing and love.
"It's actually quite normal for a woman to have irregular periods for a few days. There's no need to make a fuss. Besides, don't you still have me?"
"I?"
He looked back and forth at his wife, but his mind was unable to come to its senses for a moment.
"I'm a man and I've never done that before. I have no experience!"
"How stupid!"
