Jiang Shi thought she wanted to say something to him, so he looked down at her.
Yu Tanqi avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and whispered, "So you've decided to marry me after you pass the imperial examination, right?"
Jiang Shi nodded, curved his lips and smiled softly, "Of course, I will definitely give you a wedding banquet that is no less impressive than the one your Highness gave you today, so that you can marry me in style."
"Have you ever thought about where I'll get married?"
"I have already prepared a mansion for you. Before the wedding, I will invite your father, Lord Yu, and the people from the Xie family of Chenjun to come to the capital to participate in our wedding."
Jiang Shi had already thought of everything.
The more Yu Tanqi listened, the more anxious and depressed he became.
She subconsciously said, "No."
"What's wrong? Tan Qi, do you think there's something wrong? We can discuss it together."
Jiang Shi's heart sank when he saw her face becoming paler and uglier. He thought she was dissatisfied with his decision not to discuss it with her, so he quickly spoke to make amends.
Yu Tanqi clenched his fingers, speechless.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Naturally, nothing works and nothing is right.
She felt guilty and panicked, and she didn't dare to see the original owner's father.
She was afraid that everything she had now would be like a mirage, nothing more than an empty promise.
In the 21st century, her childhood experiences have made her feel very insecure. Because she has very little, she is particularly afraid of losing it.
In order not to lose anything, she tries not to own too many things, whether it is feelings or objects.
She felt all the emotions she had never felt before.
But none of this belongs to her.
Having something and then losing it is so painful and hard to accept.
What should she do?
Should I confess directly or continue to hide it?
Would he believe her if she confessed?
If he believed it, how would he look at her?
Do you think she is a female ghost or a monster?
Will he accept that her spirit has taken over everything about his real fiancée?
Yu Tanqi's heart grew heavier.
But if she continues to hide it, what if the original owner's father comes to the capital to see her and finds out that she is not the original owner and exposes her?
All these things that she had not dared to think about before were now all presented in her mind, forcing her to think carefully and make a decision.
Since her life was at stake, she had to be cautious.
"Tan Qi."
"Tan Qi?"
"Yu Tanqi."
Seeing that she fell into deep thought again, Jiang Shi frowned slightly and had to grab her slender shoulders and speak in a stern tone to bring her back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me, okay? Don't make me worry."
He looked into her eyes, trying to read something in them.
Yu Tanqi subconsciously avoided his gaze and whispered, "I..."
Jiang Shi looked at her, pursed his lips slightly, and waited quietly for her to finish.
Yu Tanqi took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She couldn't bear to see his face, fearing that her heart would soften and waver. Finally, she said, "I don't want to marry you."
"What did you say?" Jiang Shi's pupils shrank and he looked at her in astonishment.
"I don't want to marry you. When I saw Chi Li today, I suddenly realized that it was him I had always liked..."
Her chin was suddenly pinched by his hand, and she subconsciously opened her eyes and looked at him.
The boy's narrow black eyes lost their former gentleness and looked at her solemnly like a ball of thick ink that was difficult to dissolve.
"Yu Tanqi, look into my eyes and tell me again."
She swallowed, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes dodged, but he pinched her cheek with his hand and forced her to look up.
"Look me in the eyes and say it again."
Jiang Shi's voice also lost its former gentleness, and was as cold as fog, making it impossible to understand his emotions at the moment.
She didn't know where she got the courage from, she looked up at his oppressive eyes and said word by word: "I said, I don't actually like you, I...well..."
Jiang Shi lowered his head and bit her lips fiercely.
This was the first time he tasted bitterness on her lips.
My heart feels like it's being pricked by dense needles.
As their lips and teeth touched, he whispered, "How could you not like me? You obviously like me."
Yu Tanqi also felt uncomfortable. Her long eyelashes trembled and she blinked quickly, trying not to let the tears fall.
She tried hard to suppress her inner emotions and whispered in the same low voice: "Before I met Chi Li, I thought I liked you, but after meeting Chi Li today, I found out that I still like...well..."
Her lips were once again blocked by his lips/tongue.
He didn't want to hear her say anything hurtful to him.
How could she say she liked someone else?
She couldn't do this to him.
This time, Jiang Shi used unprecedented strength and actually bit through her lips.
The smell of blood spread between their lips and teeth, but he still refused to let her go.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, like a pair of inseparable mandarin ducks.
Yu Tanqi had a horrible illusion that he was going to tear her apart and eat her stomach.
She bit the tip of his tongue hard, trying to force him to let her go.
However, no matter how hard she bit him, even if she hit and pushed him with her hands, he still refused to let her go.
He held her face tightly and lingered until death.
Until he felt tears on his face.
The young man's slender body froze for a moment before he finally let her go.
"You're crying."
He looked at Yu Tanqi crying silently, feeling a little confused and helpless.
"Because I kissed you?"
He reached out to wipe away the tears from her face, but was afraid that she would resist.
Why did it suddenly become like this?
She bit her lip, no longer insisting on what she had said before, her voice trembling slightly: "If you don't mind, we can be cousins if we can't be husband and wife."
"impossible."
Jiang Shi refused without even thinking.
The boy, who was always gentle and smiling, now had no expression on his face. He reached out and pinched her chin, staring at her with an extremely oppressive and aggressive look.
"I don't have the inclination to raise a younger sister, Yu Tanqi, you can only be my wife."
She pursed her lips tightly and said, "But I don't want to be your wife."
"It's too late. I gave you a chance. It was you who wanted to come to me. It was you who provoked me. But now you say you don't want to marry me. This is impossible."
Jiang Shi's expressionless and strong expression at this moment was so unfamiliar that she was frightened.
Yu Tanqi's body couldn't stop shaking.
Jiang Shi looked at her frightened appearance, and in the end, his heartache overwhelmed his anger. He suppressed his inner emotions and asked in a low voice: "I don't believe you don't like me. Tell me, are you worried about something?"
The initial discomfort and anger passed, and his mind began to reorganize his thoughts. He immediately thought that her absent-mindedness today was actually traceable, and she would sometimes be distracted like this in the past.
He had asked her a few times, but she smiled and didn't want to talk more and changed the subject, so he didn't ask again.
However, today she is not allowed to escape anymore.
"You've been distracted like this before, and when I asked you about it, you wouldn't say much. I respected you, so I didn't ask again. But today I must have a definite answer. Otherwise, even if you hate me, I won't let you leave me."
Yu Tanqi looked at his stubborn eyes and said calmly, "What if I'm not Yu Tanqi?"
