Su Qingci closed his eyes: "What's the point of apologizing?"
"You said you were too impatient last night. Next time you want something, and I say no, will you stop?"
Yan Xuanye remained silent.
Su Qingci added, "If there's no respect, how can we talk about love?"
Yan Xuanye choked, and after a while, he said, "I can hold it back, but not in front of you."
He has always been abstinent, and he has seen beautiful women from Nanchang before.
On the contrary, he had seen all types of women, but none of them could make his heart beat faster, nor did he have that kind of desire or impulse.
But that night in Beijing, just a brief glimpse was enough to make his heart beat, a shock from the depths of his soul.
It seemed as if I had seen her before, and it also seemed as if I should have known her a long time ago.
When I saw other men around her, I inexplicably felt jealousy and possessiveness.
He felt that she should be his by right and wanted her to be by his side.
"No man can resist this kind of desire in front of the woman he loves. I believe Lu Huan is the same."
Su Qingci sneered, "Because you can't do it, you think other men are the same as you. In fact, only you are so shameless, lustful, and despicable!"
Su Qingci threw curse words out without hesitation, not afraid that he would be angry. After the humiliation last night, she wanted Yan Xuanye to kill her, but he refused.
Maybe he hadn't had enough fun yet, so he didn't want to let her go.
Yan Xuanye frowned and sat on the outside of the bed, blocking her tightly in a surrounding position, making it impossible for her to escape.
"How long?" she asked.
Yan Xuanye: "What?"
"How long do I have to stay with you before you let me go?"
Yan Xuanye was so angry that he laughed, "What I told you before, you just ignored it, didn't you?"
"I told you I don't want your body because I love you, why don't you understand?!"
Why must I treat him like a monster and avoid him as much as possible? Why can't I trust his feelings and discard his love?
In front of her, Yan Xuanye knew for the first time what it felt like to be defeated.
Su Qingci insisted on giving him a time limit. Yan Xuanye was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and said seriously, "One year."
Two months to get her pregnant, ten months to carry the baby and give birth to their child. By then, she would have a bond and she would never want to leave.
"No! I can only accept three months at most."
Su Qingci believed in Lu Huan's ability. In three months at most, after this winter, Lu Huan would be able to return to the court next spring.
When he comes home, she must wait for him at home.
When she meets him, she will tell him the truth in person. If he cares about her innocence, she will cut her hair and go to the mountains to become a temple nun.
Yan Xuanye refused without a second thought, "No, three months is too short."
"Six months, how about that?"
Even if she was pregnant in three months, it might not be diagnosed if the month was earlier. He couldn't tolerate any unexpected events, so he had to be more cautious.
Of course Yan Xuanye would not let her go. He just wanted to give her some hope, so that she would stay by his side and stop thinking about leaving him every day.
Love grows over time, and once she understands what kind of person he is, Yan Xuanye believes that she will definitely change her opinion of him.
I won’t say that I’ve fallen completely in love with him, but I will definitely no longer hate him or avoid him.
Su Qingci didn't know what he was thinking, "Four months."
She could only endure it for four months at most. If it was too long, when Lu Huan returned to Shangjing and knew that she was missing, he would definitely be anxious.
Yan Xuanye held his breath, closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and then slowly opened his eyes.
He pretended to compromise and said, "Never mind, four months is four months, I promise you."
Su Qingci: "Really?"
Yan Xuanye: "Really."
"Don't you people from the Central Plains say 'once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back'? Since I promised you, it must be true."
Su Qingci still had some doubts. She broke free from Yan Xuanye's restraints and quickly got off the bed. "Then let's sign a written contract as proof."
Yan Xuanye did not refuse. He asked the servants to bring paper and pen, and then let her do it.
Su Qingci quickly wrote a contract document, and Yan Xuanye took it and took a look.
Her handwriting is neat and beautiful, and it is obvious that it is the handwriting of a little girl, but it must have been well-educated and learned, so she can write such words.
She had already signed her name at the end, and then urged him to sign as well.
Yan Xuanye said, "I can't write Chinese characters. Can I press my fingerprint?"
Su Qingci: "You can speak the Central Plains dialect, but you can't write the Central Plains characters?"
He smiled and said, "You'll learn the Central Plains dialect if you listen and speak it more often. Many businessmen on the border of our Fengyuan Kingdom can speak the Central Plains dialect. They all practiced it in order to do business with you people from Nanchang. You should know that."
"But we haven't systematically studied the Central Plains writing system. If you don't believe me, just ask others."
Su Qingci handed him a ball of red mud: "Forget it, then press your fingerprint."
After signing your name, you also need to press your fingerprint.
She wrote Yan Xuanye's name, asked him to press his fingerprint, and watched him do it all.
Su Qingci put away her own copy of the document and gave him another one, "This one is for you, keep it."
Yan Xuanye: "No need, just keep it for me."
Su Qingci was very alert and asked, "You don't want to regret it, do you?"
He chuckled, then took his share and stuffed it into his collar, "Are you satisfied now?"
Su Qingci was quite satisfied, but did not reply to him.
Yan Xuanye laughed at her naiveté in his heart, and wondered how he could make her let go of her prejudice against him.
Su Qingci put the receipt into a small dressing box and locked it.
After doing all this, she didn't know what to do.
Although the felt tent is not small, it is only so big. Where can she hide?
Yan Xuanye also noticed her embarrassment and unnaturalness, waved at her and said, "Come here."
Su Qingci took two steps cautiously, but was still far away from him.
Yan Xuanye laughed in anger and took out the written document. "Since you have signed the document, there should be no need for me to explain our relationship in detail."
Her hands and feet were stiff, unwilling to move a single step toward him. But Yan Xuanye was right, she had written the document, and the relationship between them had undergone a qualitative change.
Compared to her stiffness, Yan Xuanye felt much more relaxed. No matter what, at least she was now being tricked by him to stay.
He leaned back on the pillow, looking at her with a smile on his face, "Come here and kiss me."
