Chapter 227 Who said I was going to marry you?

"Now that you've seen it, you can leave."

Xiao Churen completely ignored Su Wanshi's dejected look and said coldly.

"Your Highness, are you really going to be so heartless towards me?"

Seeing Xiao Churen's cold attitude, Su Wanshi couldn't help but look at him with teary eyes.

She had thought that Xiao Churen would treat her badly, but when she actually faced it, she still felt so uncomfortable.

Xiao Churen had no intention of paying any more attention to Su Wanshi. Seeing that she didn't have anything important to do, he prepared to walk back into the mansion.

Seeing Xiao Churen's actions, Su Wanshi realized that he didn't intend to pay attention to her, and suddenly felt anxious.

"Your Highness, Wanshi was wrong. Wanshi shouldn't have acted on her own and done something that made Your Highness misunderstand and feel hurt! For the past few days, Wanshi has been blaming herself."

I lost my appetite and stayed indoors, hesitating for a long time before finally mustering the courage to come see the Prince. "Your Highness, please forgive me! Have you forgotten what we once had? How much I loved you!"

Su Wanshi immediately ran up to him, wrapped her arms around Xiao Churen's waist, and said affectionately.

"Let go of me!"

Xiao Churen frowned, reaching out in disgust to push Su Wanshi away, but Su Wanshi was like glue stuck to him, impossible to pry off.

She knew that once she let go, it would be difficult to have another chance.

But she could also sense the disgust emanating from Xiao Churen as he tried to pry her apart.

One of them hugged tightly, while the other tried to pull away.

After struggling for a long time, Su Wanshi felt increasingly exhausted, and she knew she would be pushed away if the stalemate continued.

Suddenly, she caught sight of the stone lions at the entrance of the Chu King's mansion, and her eyes hardened.

To achieve great things, one must first be ruthless.

"Your Highness, if you truly no longer want Wanshi, then there's no point in Wanshi living. She might as well just kill herself here, which would be a way to fulfill my sincere feelings for Your Highness!"

Su Wanshi shouted, then released Xiao Churen's waist and was about to crash into the stone lion.

Another self-inflicted injury ploy!

This was the first thought that came to Xiao Churen's mind after seeing Su Wanshi's actions.

After seeing Su Wanshi's true colors, he became much more clear-headed and was no longer as blinded by love as before.

If it were before, I would have thought Su Wanshi was deeply in love with me and would have been very moved.

But now, he could see at a glance that this was a ploy by Su Wanshi to make him suffer.

However, even though he understood, he couldn't really let Su Wanshi just crash into his doorstep and die.

He had just regained his father's favor, and if a death were to occur at the gate of his residence at this time, it would damage his reputation.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Su Wanshi, he felt that Su Wanshi must have thought that he would be moved and thus stop her.

Therefore, Su Wanshi is now really going all out with the crash, and if I don't stop her, there will really be bloodshed on the spot.

So, just as Su Wanshi was about to bump into the stone lion, he quickly moved his feet, reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.

"Since you want to be mine so badly, then I'll grant your wish!"

Xiao Churen's eyes were icy cold. It was a very ambiguous sentence, but the way he said it now carried a different kind of danger.

But Su Wanshi was so overjoyed by those words that she didn't pay any attention to Xiao Churen's tone when he said them; she only focused on the key point in his words.

The King of Chu wanted to make himself his man!

She knew that the King of Chu still had feelings for her; he wouldn't just watch her die!

He must have been moved by her love once again!

Xiao Churen glanced mockingly at Su Wanshi, who was lost in her own joy. Only then did he notice that Su Wanshi's eyes were different from usual, seemingly more charming and alluring today.

Without saying a word, he picked up Su Wanshi and carried her straight to his residence.

He walked to his courtyard, casually opened the door of a side room, and carried Su Wanshi to the bed inside.

The gate creaked shut, and the servants outside stood with their heads bowed, not daring to utter a word.

The room was dimly lit, and Xiao Churen immediately ripped off Su Wanshi's veil.

He could vaguely see the alluring flowers painted on Su Wanshi's face, exuding charm and femininity, a stark contrast to her usual deliberately innocent demeanor.

His eyes darkened slightly. That was fine. This way, he didn't love her, but he could still indulge himself simply because of her seductive makeup.

Soon, soft, seductive music filled the room.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, the noise inside the room gradually disappeared.

Su Wanshi looked at the red marks left on her body, then at Xiao Churen who was putting on his clothes, and a blush of shyness and satisfaction spread across her face.

If she had known that the relationship between men and women was so wonderful, she should have given herself to the King of Chu much earlier. Why did she have to wait until today?

Thinking back to how Qi Yinyin had taken advantage of her and slept with the King of Chu before her, she felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Now that she is the King of Chu's woman, surely the King of Chu will marry her?

She disliked Qi Yinyin, but she didn't want to face Qi Yinyin, this concubine, every day after entering the mansion.

After some thought, Su Wanshi decided that since the King of Chu was currently very fond of her, it was appropriate for her to make this request.

She then spoke softly, "Your Highness, Wan Shi has a favor to ask you?"

"What is it?"

Xiao Churen spoke calmly, his tone no longer cold as before, because he was satisfied, but his tone was not particularly warm either.

Su Wanshi didn't notice any of this. She just shyly pulled the blanket over herself, poked her head out, and deliberately blinked her watery eyes.

"Your Highness, I don't like Qi Yinyin. Before you marry me, could you please send Qi Yinyin away first?"

"What did you say?"

Xiao Churen paused in his dressing, turning around to look at Su Wanshi with surprise.

"Your Highness, I'd like to ask if you can send Qi Yinyin away. I don't want to see her after I marry into the royal family."

Su Wanshi confidently repeated it again.

She thought that the next moment, Xiao Churen would gently sit down next to her, promise her, and coax her.

But to her surprise, Xiao Churen's usually indifferent eyes suddenly turned playful.

What she said made her think she was hallucinating.

"Who said I was going to marry you?"

Xiao Churen's voice was cold and ruthless.

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

Su Wanshi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "I've given you all my people, aren't you going to marry me?"

"With your status, what right do you have to be my queen? If I'm in a good mood, I might at most allow you to enter my palace as a concubine. How could you possibly be worthy of the word 'marry'?"

The setting sun shone in from outside, its rays illuminating Xiao Churen's dark eyes and revealing his mocking expression.

Su Wanshi's heart suddenly turned cold, and her body trembled slightly.

"But, Your Highness, you once said you would marry Wanshi. Now I am yours, how could you..."

Su Wanshi started crying as she spoke.
