"Are you going to agree or not?"
Lao Yongkuang sighed helplessly and closed the book that he couldn't read. He looked up at Guan Lanzhi, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. He had the urge to cry.
That day, she was drunk…but she was still half sober. She had completely forgotten about that day when she was unrestrained, but she did not forget that she was going to marry him.
"Maybe you can find someone better…"
Before he could finish, she interrupted him again. "Do you think I can find someone better than you?”
Uh…there were probably not many left, but if he looked carefully, there might still be a few left.
But to be honest, her taste is really good. She knows the goods…Lao Yongkuang was secretly proud, but he did not dare to say it.
He was flattered that she had forced him to marry her. But for him, being unable to resist her orders was a painful thing, especially when she didn't even let him read. The snow was getting heavier, and the atmosphere of the New Year was getting thicker. He couldn't help but worry about the trial period.
Moreover, he can't seek refuge with my brother and your brother anymore.
Two days ago, she ran into their room and caused a ruckus, scaring them into running away, leaving him alone to clean up the mess and let her bully him. Moreover, it attracted the whispers of others, so he planned to embarrass himself in his own room. He didn't want others to laugh at him.
He couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
"Say something." Guan Lanzhi said unhappily.
As long as he was willing to sincerely nod, she could immediately bring him back to the Imperial Residence. There was no need to hide here and not even dare to walk on the streets.
"What do you want me to say?" He could not help but sigh.
It seemed that she was prepared to spend the whole day with him until he was willing to nod and admit it.
"Do you know that if you marry me, you will have a meteoric rise in the future and won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life?”She could not convince him to agree with her feelings or reason, so she could only tempt him with benefits.
She didn't have much time to waste. If she made Ama unhappy and caused Mother to be scolded, she would feel bad.
"As long as you don't pester me every day, I'll definitely be able to pass the exam in the spring. As for your so-called meteoric rise and not having to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life…In my opinion, it's only meaningful if I rely on my own strength to obtain it.”After she said that, his answer could not help but become indifferent.
It wasn't that he disliked her, but he just didn't like to hear her say those words.
Just by looking at her clothes, he could naturally guess that she was from a prestigious family. However, she was the one who was born into a prestigious family. He did not need a husband to be respected by his wife. Moreover, in this way, wouldn't he be unable to raise his head in front of her in the future?
How could this be!
Now, he had already been bullied by her. If that day really came, where would his face and self-esteem be?
Even if he was willing to nod, his mother would not allow him to be so greedy for glory.
"What, are you throwing a tantrum in front of me?”Seeing his expression change slightly, she did not want to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips in front of him and poked his chest with her slender fingers. "No matter what I say, you won't agree. Now that I've said too much, you're putting on a face for me to see, right? If it wasn't because you refused to nod, why would I use my wealth to pressure you? In short, you're not good.”
Lao Yongkuang grabbed her slender fingers to stop her from being presumptuous. "A woman who doesn't have the gentleness that a woman should have, who would dare to marry you?”
He really missed that day when she was drunk. Her delicate demeanor and dignified posture all showed the elegance of a noble lady. On the other hand, she was now wearing a warm hat, her long hair was braided, and her actions were rough…Sigh! No matter how much he wanted to agree, he really couldn't nod his head.
"Then I'll change however you want me to. I'll pretend to be whatever you like.”She had given in enough. If he still did not nod, she would lose her temper.
"You don't need to change for me. What a husband and wife needs is a fit, not your concession.”He told her the crux of the problem, hoping that she would give up. "I really can't help you with this. You should find someone else.”
It was not that she was bad, but how could he start a family before he had a career?
"Lao Yongkuang, a girl like me has already taken the initiative to speak. If you still don't agree, you're not a man!”
He was indifferent when he was moved by emotion, and turned a deaf ear to reason. He scoffed at the temptation…This time, he really angered her.
She had never asked for anyone's help since she was young. She did not expect him to be so disdainful when she lowered her head for the first time. He even told her that a couple needed to be compatible.
It was just an excuse. Anyway, he refused to agree and did not want to marry her.
"I'm not a man?" Lao Yongkuang couldn't help laughing.
This little girl really knew how to use words to provoke a man's anger! He was a man of indomitable spirit, talented and knowledgeable. Before he went to the capital to take the exam, he was also a powerful farmer. Such a person with both wisdom and courage, if not a man, could it be a woman?
"If you're a man, nod your head!" She was trying to provoke him.
" If you nod, then nod. I'm afraid..." Before he finished speaking, Lao Yongkuang was already stunned on the spot. He was tongue-tied and speechless. He could only hang his head dejectedly.
Which sect had he fallen for?
He knew that she was trying to goad him, so why did he fall for it?
"Don't play dumb, I heard you loud and clear.”Guan Lanzhi pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
Hehe, after thinking of so many methods, he still couldn't succeed. Just now, he had an idea and easily took him in.
If she had known that it would be so simple, she would have done it a long time ago.
" I…" She didn't know if it was too late to retract her confession now.
"A gentleman's word is a promise!" She did not give him any chance to go back on his word.
Lao Yongkuang saw that the situation was hopeless and he couldn't turn the tide, so he simply lay down on the bed and couldn't be bothered to explain. It was a little despicable of her to use this method, but it was even more absurd for him to fall for it…Everything was his fault, who could he blame?
A dignified High Scholar had actually been set up by a rude and unreasonable young lady. If this matter were to spread, the people of the capital would definitely laugh their heads off.
"Since you don't say anything, I'll take it that you tacitly agree.”Seeing that he did not say a word, Guan Lanzhi smiled and leaned closer to him. "Then do you have to give me a token of love first?”
Since they did not go through matchmaking and privately agreed to be married, the two sides naturally had to exchange love tokens. This way, even if she was arrested, she would have evidence to argue with Ama and Mother.
"I don't have anything on me that can be used as a token of love.”I'm tired of using Kuang's stuffy way.
Not only had he lost miserably to her eloquence, but he had also lost his remaining self-esteem. He felt so inferior that he did not even want to open his eyes. He simply closed his eyes to avoid her smiling pink face.
Beautiful women were a disaster, and beautiful women would bring disaster to the country. Since ancient times, beautiful women had killed many heroes who had their ambitions unfulfilled.
And he was one of them.
"That's impossible." Guan Lanzhi didn't believe him at all. He should have some memento or proof on him.
Seeing that Lao Yongkuang was not moving, as if he was pretending to sleep, she moved her hands to his body. She didn't believe that she didn't even have a decent jade pendant.
After all, he was a High Scholar, so he should have some clothes.
"What are you doing?" Feeling her restless hands moving between his chest and waist, and even sliding down to his thighs, Lao Yongkuang couldn't help but open his eyes to stop her soft hands.
She wasn't drunk today, so it was impossible for her to force herself on him again!
"I talked to you, but you ignored me. I could only check if you had a decent jade pendant on you as a token.”He grabbed her hands, but she was not in a hurry to break free, because she knew that he would never hurt her. Although he sounded angry and unhappy, the strength of his hand that held her was gentle. Just this alone made her recognize him from the bottom of her heart.
"I said I don't have those things.”He was furious.
Could it be that she didn't know that her actions were really…too unrestrained?
Not every man could restrain himself like him. If she met a villain…he did not even dare to think about the consequences.
"How do I know that you're not deliberately denying it and saying that you don't have a token?”She replied righteously and fell into his arms again.
" Why are you lying on me like this…" Aiya, did she not know shame?
He didn't know whether to push or pull, so he could only let her soft body stick to him, and his extremely thin face suddenly turned red.
"You've already agreed to marry me. We're considered husband and wife verbally. What's wrong with me lying on top of you?”Lying on his thick chest, Guan Lanzhi looked up at his slightly red handsome face and smiled extremely gently.
"I…even if I really agree, how can I sleep on the same bed without bowing to heaven and earth?”
He really didn't know what to do with her…She didn't mind him scolding her. He was angry, and she did not care. What could he do?
"Who said that?" She didn't care about those eight-pronged thoughts.
Lao Yong Kuang Yuan wanted to argue with her again, but he guessed that she probably wouldn't accept it, so he simply shut up.
"I don't have anything on me that can be used as a keepsake, so don't worry about it. Don't lie on my body anymore, it's…ugly.”It made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Will it look ugly? I don't think so." As if it was deliberate, she didn't get up and instead burrowed into his arms.
"Stop playing. Do you think you're still a little kid?”He saw her coming straight at him and hurriedly dodged left and right. His face was red and his hands and feet were in a mess, but he could do nothing to her.
What was even more tragic was that when the two of them were hugging each other on the bed, the door opened in an unromantic manner, revealing Wu Xialiu and Ru Beibi.
Lao Yongkuang saw this and wanted to push Guan Lanzhi away to explain clearly, but he saw the two of them retreat behind the door in tacit understanding and even close the door…
" I'm finished…" Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he probably wouldn't be able to clear his name.
Lao Yongkuang had wanted to explain it to them, but considering Guan Lanzhi's identity, he was afraid of ruining her reputation, so he could only hold back and let them speculate about his relationship with her. Now that the two of them had encountered this scene, whether he said it or not, he would be in a dilemma…and the source of the disaster that caused him to be in a dilemma was the gorgeous beauty lying on his body.
"Tsk, what's the big deal?" She was still carefree and did not care at all.
"You should get up first. You should at least be a little reserved, right?”He sighed and pushed her away slightly.
"You mean it's shameless for me to lie on you.”She finally straightened up, but her eyes were filled with anger as she glared at him.
"Yo, you've finally come to your senses." It was rare for him to mock her coldly, and he immediately sat up.
" You…" Her sparkling eyes were so intimidating that they seemed like they were about to shoot out sparks. However, she pursed her lips and said indifferently,""I'm not going to argue with you. There's still a long way to go. Once we get to know each other better, there won't be such a problem.”
Guan Lanzhi said it as if it was a matter of course, as if the two of them were already husband and wife.
"Alright, you rest in the room. I'll go and explain it to them.”It was rare for her to be so aware of the big picture, so Lao Yongkuang did not want to waste his breath arguing with her.
"Wait, you have to give me the token first.”She stood in front of him.
Lao Yongkuang looked at her doubtfully. "What are you so anxious about? If I really want to marry you, I'll have to wait until after the general exams next spring. Why are you in such a hurry to take out some token from me? Moreover, I know nothing about you. I don't even know your family background. Isn't it too much of a joke to get married just like that?”
The more anxious she was, the more he felt that something was amiss. She didn't say anything or explain, so naturally, he couldn't be blamed for having so many conjectures.
"My parents died young, and I'm not the descendant of some noble family, but I can guarantee you that this is not a child's play!”
She was the one who didn't make herself clear. No wonder he suspected her. However, based on her understanding of him, if she told him her identity, he would definitely run away overnight.
She had finally found a man who could be her husband. How could she let him slip away so easily? Naturally, he had to grind it until it was cooked.
"Is that so?" Was it really as simple as she said? However, he was too lazy to speculate. "It's not that I'm rejecting it on purpose, but I really don't have a jade pendant that can be used as a token of love.”
Guan Lanzhi looked into his eyes and knew that he wasn't lying. However, she had her own difficulties. If she wanted Ma to believe her words, he definitely wouldn't believe her without a token…
"So, can you sleep with me today?”Now, this was the only method she had left. Otherwise, she would not be able to fool Ama.
"Huh?" Lao Yongkuang was so scared that his face turned pale.
What was wrong with her now? Why did he always say that it was like wind and rain? How could he withstand it?
"It's consummation. Don't you understand?”She shouted with a faint face.
Was he a block of wood? Why did she have to make it so clear…Only he would feel embarrassed, but couldn't she? He always scolded her for being reserved like a girl, yet he wanted her to explain everything clearly. Didn't he know that she was also in a difficult position? What a stupid scholar!
" You... this..." Lao Yongkuang was tongue-tied and couldn't even speak. He felt that the atmosphere was very strange and couldn't help but wonder if he had heard wrongly. He could only change the subject. "I'll go find my brother and your brother first.”
"Stop right there!"
Guan Lanzhi pulled him back, not giving him a chance to escape. She had already spoken shamelessly. If he rejected her again, he would not be considered a man.
" I really have something to do..." Lao Yongkuang did not dare to meet her eyes.
This woman…He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even lift his face. How could she have the guts to hold onto him and not let go?
"Of course I know why you're looking for them, but that's not urgent. Promise me first.”
Of course, she also knew that this kind of behavior was too presumptuous, but she had no choice but to release the arrow.
"No, this kind of thing can only be done on the wedding night.”Lao Yong looked left and right, not looking at her beautiful face.
He didn't dare to say that he didn't have any improper thoughts about her at all, but it was precisely because he seemed to have a little bit of desire for her that he didn't dare to look her in the eye. Her eyes were too clear, as if they reflected his filth…
Although she was the one who suggested it, if he really agreed with her, wouldn't he have wasted so many years of reading the books of sages?
" If you were as unlucky as my father, on the night you married my Second Mother, you were…" Halfway through her words, she suddenly shut her mouth and did not say a word.
She couldn't say anything more. Otherwise, she would probably say something she shouldn't.
He wasn't her father anyway, so he couldn't be poisoned to death on the wedding night like her father.
"What's wrong?" When he realized that she was not speaking, he slowly shifted his gaze to her red face.
Suddenly, he realized that her face was red. Without thinking much, he immediately reached out to her forehead, wondering if she had caught a cold.
Guan Lanzhi didn't dodge and allowed Lao Yong to caress her burning face with Kuang Weiliang's fingers.
If it was in the past, she would most likely chop off the hand that casually touched her body. However, it was different now because the person who touched her was different.
She forced him to marry her not only because she wanted to avoid the marriage with Prince Juan Qing, but also because she liked people like him. He was honest, straightforward, and not pretentious. He was shy and kind…It was hard to find such a person. At least in the year she traveled outside, he was the only one she had met. Moreover, he had saved her life. It would not be too much for her to repay him for saving her life.
No matter what, she was determined to cling to him. Although he didn't like her very much now, she believed that once she changed back into female clothes, he would definitely look at her differently.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile. A sweet smile appeared on her pink almond-shaped lips.
In a daze, she realized that his face was getting closer and closer to her lips…Would he be so bold?
Just as she was guessing, his lips had already landed on hers. He used her unbelievable boldness to lightly touch her slightly opened lips and then slid into her mouth…
He was Lao Yongkuang, right? But how did he…Suddenly, the smooth and tender touch of the lilac attracted her stunned heart, and she couldn't help but raise her delicate hand and slap him on the face.
"Shameless!" As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away without looking back.
Lao Yongkuang was stunned on the spot. The hot flames that were filled with eagerness instantly turned into a frozen lake.
This woman…she could even say that she wanted to consummate the marriage. Last time, she even forced herself on him. Now, he only kissed her, and she actually slapped him!
He also knew that his actions were not in line with etiquette, but he couldn't help it at that moment…
Who taught her to suddenly reveal such an alluring smile? He wasn't a lecher, but he couldn't resist her captivating smile.
Forget it, it was good to scare her. He wanted to let her know that he was a man after all, so that she wouldn't be so rash in front of him.
But this slap really hurt…#
