MTL - Pihanjin-Chapter 9

The air seemed to freeze.

Xie Changgeng's face was a little ugly, but after a while, he returned to normal.

He got up and straightened his clothes.

This time, he didn't sit on the couch again, but the tone of his speech did not show the slightest anger. She didn't seem to mind the wanton offensive behavior she just inflicted on him.

"You deserve to be angry," he said.

"During the six months that you came to my Xie family, it was extremely hard to serve my mother every day. Although my mother's original intention was to repay the kindness of her deceased person, it is indeed inappropriate to make up her own mind and want to take a concubine for me. On virtuousness Darley..."

"Xie Changgeng, you think too much!"

Mu Fulan interrupted him, climbed down from the beauty couch, barefooted a pair of delicate embroidered shoes with orchids on the ground in front of the couch, under his gaze, walked to the mirror and sat on the carpet on the couch.

She held the tortoiseshell comb, looked at the mirror, combed her long hair that he had just messed up, and said, "I am neither virtuous nor reasonable. The reason why I served your mother before was just because Follow my father's previous teachings, and think that even if you don't want to get married, you still have to do your duty. That's all."

Xie Changgeng watched her recite the video, walked over, stopped behind her, stared at the delicate face in the mirror, and said, "Mister Mu, what do you want to come back with me?"

He said the sentence almost word for word, his tone no longer as gentle as before.

Mu Fulan's hand holding the comb stopped.

She also raised her eyes and looked at the man in the mirror who was standing behind her with his eyes fixed on her.

He began to lose patience. She felt it.

A smile appeared on her lips.

"Xie Lang, you are clearly dissatisfied with me in your heart, why did you pretend to be false? Wouldn't it be better if you made it clear like this?"

Xie Changgeng looked at her expressionlessly.

She put down her comb, stood up from the mirror, turned to face her.

"Since you asked directly, I will tell you bluntly. I won't go back to your Xie family again. It was all because of my father's intention that I had to marry you. Now I have changed my mind. "

"Life is too short to have fun, why should I feel so wronged?"

On Xie Changgeng's face, there was a faint trace of surprise.

He stared at her, and gradually, his expression became stern.

"Ms. Mu, allow me to remind you that the marriage was originally promised by your father. In the past few years, I have asked myself to keep my promise and have never broken my promise. Even though my mother has offended you, it never really happened. Besides, I also apologized to you and made a promise. But your brother and sister went back on their word, broke the contract for no reason, behaved childishly, like a child's play! Do you think I, Xie Changgeng, will let your brother and sister fail?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be aware of his gaffe, glanced at her, and when he spoke again, his tone softened again.

"Ms. Mu, are you sixteen? You are justifiable when you are young and ignorant. But your father or your brother, who is more trustworthy and who wins the hearts and minds of the people of Changsha country, you should be in your heart. There are many. When the marriage contract was signed, your brother was prejudiced against me, and now he must be trying to persuade you to break the contract. But you think, no matter how good your brother is, can you be a woman that you can rely on for the rest of your life?”

"You still listen to your father's arrangement and go back with me. I will not treat you badly in the future."

Mu Fulan looked at the man in front of him who was patiently coaxing her, and felt infinite emotion in her heart for a while.

If she hadn't been married to him and knew exactly what kind of person he was, in the face of such a gentleman, what woman could be firm and unmoved?

She shook her head, and a pair of small red coral earrings on Bai Nen's earlobes also swayed, looming between the strands of hair hanging down from her shoulders.

"You don't have to use my father to oppress me. Let me ask you, what was the purpose of your visit at the beginning? Has your purpose been achieved now? Now that the purpose has been achieved, this marriage with Changsha will not be your responsibility. In other words, it has lost its original value, so why should you hold on to it?"

Xie Changgeng was silent.

"I am willing to believe that you are going to keep the promise you made with my father back then. But you know better than me what it is for."

"Because of this marriage contract, my father, he realized what he wanted and benefited the people of Changsha. You are even more so, and you have made huge profits from it. If it wasn't for the appreciation of the father, you would be a giant pirate. How can you successfully enter the official career, and then get the opportunity to rise to the top?"

"Because of this marriage, both you and my father have something to gain. But what about me? Who among you has ever thought about me?"

She stared at the man in front of her.

"Xie Changgeng, let me tell you the truth, when you came to ask for a kiss that day, in my heart, I already had a crush. He is the kindest person in the world and the most beautiful person with a smile. But you I'm here to ask for a kiss. Father, for the sake of Changsha, promised me to you."

Xie Changgeng seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Mu Fulan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I am the princess, I have my responsibilities, I can't refuse, I have to promise."

"But now, I have changed my mind. I have done what I should do for the country of Changsha, and in the future, I should also consider myself. I dare not claim credit for myself, but at the beginning, I did fulfill you, and you should think about it. There is no denying that I hope that today, you can also fulfill me once. If so, I am very grateful."

Xie Changgeng's expression was a little stiff, he stared at her without speaking.

Mu Fulan stopped talking.

The room fell silent, but the atmosphere was a little depressed.

"We'll talk about this later. For now, you'd better go back with me first!"

After a long while, he finally spoke, coldly.

"When will it be in the future?" Mu Fulan asked him.

He shouldn't.

"Wait until the day you reach the summit when you achieve great things?"

Xie Changgeng's expression changed slightly. He suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on one of her shoulders.

As if suddenly a heavy burden was placed on her, Mu Fulan's body tilted, and she fell onto the carpet in front of the mirror box.

He followed, and squatted down slowly, squatting in front of her.

"Mister Mu, what were you talking about just now?"

"Where did you hear this?"

His tone was very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child, but that hand never left her. It followed her shoulder and slowly moved to the side of her neck.

As if caressing, her fingertips with thin calluses gently rubbed her tender and smooth neck skin.

"tell me."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Mu Fulan's eyes. The hand suddenly increased its strength and gripped her slender neck.

As if a swan whose neck was about to be broken by a hunter, Mu Fulan passively raised her head, but did not make any struggle, just looked at the two gloomy eyes that were cast at her, and smiled.

"Xie Changgeng, could it be that I really guessed that you want to kill me?"

Xie Changgeng slowly released the five fingers that were holding her neck.

Mu Fulan frowned, brushed his hand away, stroked his neck, and put back the shawl that had just slipped back down, Fang said, "You have achieved the purpose of marrying me. This marriage is for you, It has lost its original meaning, and it is at best tasteless. You have endured the humiliation, spit on your own face, endured the humiliation of my brother, and forcibly took me back. It is not something else, what is it?"

"Now you are considered one of the top figures in the court. With your status today, if you still have a plan, the rest will be that seat. With such a simple truth, what's so hard to guess?"

Xie Changgeng looked at her for a moment, stood up from the ground, and said coldly, "Mr. Mu, I have seen a lot of people who are smart, and those people often don't end well. I don't want you to end up like that."

"Marriage, you can't let your Mu family be willful. You are already my wife, and since I'm here, you have to come back with me. As for what you think..."

He paused.

"In the future, depending on the situation, I will decide for myself."

Mu Fulan followed him and stood up from the felt.

"It's all said and done, why are you still so stubborn? If it's really inconvenient for outsiders to know about it, why don't you and I each give in? I can hide it for the time being, including my brother and sister-in-law, I won't. Leaked half a sentence. In the future, you can go to your Yangguan Road, I will leave my Changsha country, and claim to recuperate."

"Don't worry, I don't care what you think, it has nothing to do with me, just as you said, it's just my random guess. Of course I want to break away from you, but I won't be stupid enough to replace Changsha because of it. The national tree is an enemy."

Xie Changgeng's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer her words.

"There's one thing you don't know yet, but I don't want to hide it from you anymore."

Mu Fulan took a deep breath.

"I have had other men who are not perfect."

Her tone was calm, as if she was saying something ordinary.

The corners of Xie Changgeng's eyes twitched slightly, and a haze suddenly appeared in his eyes.

She didn't realize it, but instead smiled, her smile was beautiful, and she didn't care.

"I heard that men can endure the humiliation of their crotch for the sake of their ambition. Xie Lang, I have told you this private matter that even my parents and family members do not know, and I will not hide it at all. If you can even understand this, If you don't care about it, you also allow me to be your thanking wife and serve your mother, and I will have nothing else to say, just go back with you."

After she finished speaking, she walked over in front of him, went back to the beauty's couch, climbed up, bent her knees together, as if at the beginning when he came in, sat there with her chin slightly raised, looking at him .

The room was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a needle falling to the ground.

Xie Changgeng stood there for a moment, then suddenly took a step, step by step, and walked towards her.

He walked to the beauty's couch, stared at Mu Fulan coldly, bent down, stretched out a hand, and reached to the bottom of her pomegranate skirt.

Mu Fulan still sat, motionless, and slowly closed his eyes.
