"Tuoba Li, you don't believe me, do you? You're really…I'm just saying this for nothing."
Su Ji saw Tuoba Li continuously turning his head and looking at her with uncertainty. She thought that she was being looked down upon and thought that she was lying. She was angered by Tuoba Li's speechless actions.
She stood up, wanting to leave this place that made her feel insulted. Her long gown fluttered in the air, leaving behind a long ribbon. She then flung away Tuoba Li's hand.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Li, who was slowly turning his head around and staring at him, pressed his acupuncture point and stopped in mid-air with one foot forward. His body was already leaning forward, and his entire body fell straight forward.
She was so angry that she closed her eyes and waited for the intimate contact with the ground.
" Su…Ji…" Her voice was dragged out, and Tuoba Li's face appeared in front of her.
"What are you doing? Why was he in such a hurry? I haven't finished yet. Don't move anymore. I'll let go of you, okay? Wait for me to finish? His big and gentle hands hugged Su Ji's small waist and wrapped around her body. Then, he lifted her up and gently put her back on the chair. She instantly regained her freedom.
"You're too arrogant. If you use any more acupuncture techniques on me, I swear: I will ignore you. Is that clear? UNDERSTAND，DOYOUKNOW!”
She was frightened, so she spoke English and was treated like an alien.
Tuoba Li suddenly touched Su Ji's forehead. After a few seconds, he looked relieved.
"You're saying strange things again. This time, it's too shocking. I thought you were sick.”，His expression was obviously worried that the person who was talking nonsense in front of him might have a screw loose.
Tuoba Li's half-joking words reminded Su Ji not to say anything shocking. Otherwise, she would be seen through by the experienced Tuoba Li.
"Tsk." Su Ji could only reply with disdain in case she gave herself away again, but she couldn't lose face.
"I believe you. Suji's words are like an imperial edict to me, Tuoba Li. Of course I believe you. I was just thinking about something and felt that it was a little strange. I'm afraid that someone deliberately let you out of the palace."
He looked at Su Ji with a gentle gaze. He had a kind of magic that made people listen to him. Su Ji raised her head seriously and looked into his bottomless eyes.
"Alright, why don't you stay here? This is your home. No matter who it is, don't even think about hurting you again. I swear! Don't go back to that cold palace, okay? Why don't you stay in my bedroom? "I'll move into the study room," Tuoba Li asked carefully in a probing tone.
"Then…alright! I don't want to go back. I don't know anyone there. It's not as fun as the outside world. You don't want me to go back either. That's great!”
Su Ji was really happy because he didn't force her to go back to the Cold Palace. Instead, he wanted her to stay. However, staying in the Prince's mansion was not what she wanted. However, she had to keep her composure for the time being because he was the Prince. She couldn't lose her composure because it wasn't up to Tuoba Li to decide whether she wanted to stay in the Prince's mansion or not. She didn't like being treated like a canary, not even Tuoba Li, not even Tuoba Hong whom she had never met.
"You will live well here. I will protect you. Even if you don't have martial arts now, you don't have to be afraid. Although I'm not as powerful as you used to be, I'm still a top-notch expert. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything.”
Tuoba Li pulled her into his arms again, ignoring her struggles. He hugged her even tighter, wanting to melt her into his bones and become one with him.
" Don't move. Just a moment. I miss you so much." Her gentle words were irresistible.
Su Ji's body instantly stiffened. After Tuoba Li's several unusual actions, Su Ji had already gotten used to pushing him away.
She had such a seductive face, but she liked to take advantage of her. It was really difficult for a hero to pass through a beauty. - ---Su Ji has now realized the greatness of Confucius. She is really a saint!
"I don't want to be recognized by others. Therefore, I'm still Wang Yating. You just pretend not to know me. I like my current look very much. Don't bother your highness. I'm not Princess Su Ji anymore. Someone will find out."
After hearing Su Ji's words, Tuoba Li stared at her without moving his eyes. His face instantly became extremely disappointed because of Su Ji. The helpless Su Ji had lost her mind and even forgot everything in the past. She was still the same as before and didn't need his help. How could he not be sad and disappointed? In the past, he still had the high and mighty Tuoba Hong by Su Ji's side, so he had accepted his fate. However, the heavens had given him such a good opportunity. He would never allow her to be snatched away by others.
"You want me to pretend that I don't know you and keep it a secret for you, right? I have a condition. You must agree to it before I can fulfill your wish. Otherwise, I will let you live a good life in my residence. If anyone dares to bully you, I will kill them all first!”
At first, Su Ji thought that he was joking. However, she found that Taba Li's eyes didn't have the gentleness and care from before. Instead, they were now completely serious and abnormally cold. He had the demeanor of a king, which made people's hair stand on end.
For this reason, she believed that he was serious. No matter what, he was a dignified prince and had the right to kill as he pleased. This was the superiority of the powerful nobles in ancient times, right? Was there really no human rights to speak of?
Perhaps the princess had a lot of power too? She suddenly felt that the power of the royal family was really immeasurable.
Su Ji unconsciously nodded her head. She was sure that she had to make a small compromise this time.
"Alright, what are your conditions? Speak!"
" Good, straightforward. That's the Wang Yating I know." Tuoba Li was not only shocked by his words, but also himself.
He was talking about Wang Yating, not Su Ji. Her Su Ji would never compromise because of threats, except for the incident with Tuoba Hong. It seemed that she was indeed not Su Ji, but Wang Yating, an ordinary girl. No matter what she became, I, Tuoba Li, would always be by your side. Even if it was the original Brother Li or the current Wang Yating, I would never leave her, forever…
"There's only one condition, let's make a bet? The terms of the bet were that I would make you fall in love with me within a year. If I lost, I would become your slave for life. Otherwise, you would lose and become Tuoba Li's wife. What do you think?”
"Are you kidding me? Falling in love with someone or making someone fall in love with you is a very simple and difficult thing. It's not a year or has nothing to do with time. Are you crazy?”
" Haha…" After a series of laughter, Tuoba Li suddenly became very serious.
"We can only be so amiable in front of each other, and we can only face each other truthfully. It has been like this since we were young. Even if you don't remember it now, I will still treat you the same as before. I will never lie to you. I am serious. My love for you has never changed since the first time I saw you. I have loved you since I was six years old. You don't have to feel burdened. You just have to accept my care and protection. I really want to protect you for a lifetime, two lifetimes, or even more…"
His attitude was very humble and completely sincere. There was no concealment in his eyes. There was only an irresistible power and touching words. If it were any other woman, even if they did not say such touching words, they would still be moved by his beautiful face and immediately fall in love with this charming big boy in front of them, the famous King Jing.
However, Su Ji understood that he loved the real Princess Su Ji, not an ordinary girl named Wang Yating. She would not be delusional. Whether it was Su Ji's substitute or treating herself as the real Princess Su Ji, neither of them suited her. She only wanted to be herself and find someone who would love her, a lover who was as ordinary as herself.
She felt that agreeing to his bet wouldn't change her original intentions. She definitely couldn't fall in love with Tuoba Li, let alone Bai Libing-a man who was like a mystery.
"I agree, but you have to promise not to restrict my freedom. You can't use your identity as a prince to bully me. You have to maintain the principle of equality with me. Shaking hands, kissing, and other ambiguous actions. You have to give your life as a guarantee.”Su Ji stretched out her ring finger and made her promise.
"Pinky swear for a hundred years. Whoever is shameless is a bastard."
Tuoba Li was stunned for quite a while when he heard such an interesting way of swearing. Then, he revealed an evil smile that was so beautiful that it made one suffocate.
