Chapter 714 Thank you, Sir, for respecting yourself

Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows and looked at her face: "Do you want me to prove it to you?"

Shen Shuyi's ears felt hot under his gaze, and he looked away: "No need, Master Xie has already proved it."

The fact that someone like him could bend over backwards for her a few times was already the best answer.

"If you have to get married anyway, why not marry me? I can give you more than anyone else." Xie Jingchi pressed on.

He knew that Shen Shuyi didn't like him much, and at best she trusted him more than others. But even if he was just a little bit better than others, it was still his chance.

He is a man who never misses any opportunity.

Shen Shuyi's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. Although she had thought about this matter before, Xie Jingchi was too direct, more direct than she had imagined.

And thinking about the fact that Princess Hanyang was also keeping an eye on him, if their marriage was really settled, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

Just as Shen Shuyi was measuring, a handsome face suddenly approached. Xie Jingchi's handsome face, which looked like a demon, was magnified countless times and appeared in front of Shen Shuyi.

"Am I not handsome enough?" Xie Jingchi supported his hands on Shen Shuyi's sides, leaned closer, and held her between his arms and the back of the chair.

Shen Shuyi looked at the man in front of her, her throat tightened, and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

His eyelashes are long, and her shadow is reflected in his dark pupils. When he looks at you intently, he is less playful and cold than usual, and more gentle and affectionate, making people almost drown in it.

"Or, am I not liked by Miss Shen?" Xie Jingchi continued to ask.

"Or... Miss Shen has someone else in her heart?"

Shen Shuyi pushed his chest with one hand to prevent him from getting closer: "Thank you, sir, please respect yourself."

Xie Jingchi stared at her, but did not move closer. Instead, he whispered, "Shen Shuyi, when are you going to take responsibility for me?"

Shen Shuyi just felt inexplicably hot. How could someone be so shameless?

Also, is this Xie Jingchi?

Why does she always feel that the man in front of her is becoming more and more different from before? Is it that her impression is distorted, or is there something wrong with her memory?

"What... responsibility do I have?" Shen Shuyi was pressed so hard that his mind was a little confused.

"During the autumn hunt before, you were frivolous to me." Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep, and he said this without feeling guilty at all.

"Bullshit, I was saving you!" Shen Shuyi couldn't help but swear.

Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on her red earlobe, and whispered seductively: "Have you thought about it? After the coming-of-age ceremony, people who want to come to the Shen family to propose marriage will trample down the Shen family's doorstep."

"You...you get up first and talk properly."

He was too close, and Shen Shuyi always felt uncomfortable, and the places where his breath spread were a little numb.

She couldn't help but wonder, was this considered inviting a wolf into the house?

Xie Jingchi did not embarrass her any further. He stood up and said, "Please think about it for a few days and give me an answer in three days."

Shen Shuyi raised his eyes to look at him and said softly, "It won't take three days."

Hearing this, Xie Jingchi stopped and stared at her, his fingertips slightly curled, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He suddenly felt it was ridiculous. He had never had this feeling before when he was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops.

But at this moment, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone.

Shen Shuyi looked at Xie Jingchi: "There are some things I need to make clear to Lord Xie. If you still don't plan to change your mind, I can agree."

Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips: "You say."

Shen Shuyi said softly: "I am a cold person by nature. If Master Xie has no interest in me, it's fine. But if Master Xie is interested in me, perhaps I will never be able to repay Master Xie's kindness in my entire life."

Xie Jingchi said nothing, as if he didn't expect her to say that.

Shen Shuyi's gaze drifted away. She no longer believed in love because the betrayal she had experienced was too deep. Perhaps she would never be able to love someone with all her heart again.

If Xie Jingchi had no feelings for her, perhaps they would be the best allies.

But things like feelings...

"I don't care." Xie Jingchi's voice was low, and there was no trace of laughter in his dark pupils.

Shen Shuyi said: "I will marry you. After marriage, you must not restrict my freedom, my manpower, or interfere with what I do."

She had suffered in her previous life and didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Even though, not everyone is Song Tingshan.

"Okay." Xie Jingchi agreed readily.

"Also, if one day, Lord Xie falls in love with someone else, I hope you will tell me honestly. I will make room for the person you love." Shen Shuyi said seriously.

She was tired of being forced into the drama of fighting for men in her previous life. There were many men in the world, but those who were ungrateful and wanting like Song Tingshan were really disgusting.

Seeing that Xie Jingchi didn't say anything, Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Master Xie, don't worry, if you want to take a concubine, I will never ask, I mean..."

"I will not take a concubine, nor will I fall in love with others." Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice.

He has lived for so many years, but if he doesn't even know what he wants, he is not worthy of leading an army or surviving a life-and-death situation.

He was just wondering why she, a young girl, was so wary and cold about love.

Shen Shuyi fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Talking to smart people is that simple. There is no need to cover everything or say too much.

"Master Xie, do you really not care whether I like you or not?" Shen Shuyi couldn't help but speak.

Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips: "If I can't make you like me, then it must be that I am not good enough."

Shen Shuyi looked at the smile on his face and couldn't help feeling dazed.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that this was very unfair to him.

"I'll try." Shen Shuyi said softly. In fact, it's hard not to like someone like Xie Jingchi, but it's hard for her to allow herself to trust and like someone wholeheartedly.

"It's almost dawn." Shen Shuyi stood up, worried that if he stayed any longer, he would easily run into the servants in the mansion.

Xie Jingchi stood up and Shen Shuyi walked him out of the room.

Before leaving, Xie Jingchi stopped, turned around, gently hugged Shen Shuyi, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered: "I'm very happy."

Shen Shuyi's whole body stiffened slightly. He raised his hands slightly, but felt he had nowhere to put them.

Xie Jingchi said again: "At dawn, I will go and ask His Majesty to grant me marriage."

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Asking His Majesty to grant the marriage at this time would be like slapping Song Tingshan in the face. Would His Majesty agree?

After all, three days ago, Song Tingshancai proposed to her at the morning court but was rejected. But within two days, His Majesty granted a marriage between her and Xie Jingchi.

I imagine that Song Tingshan's face must have been extremely ugly.

"No rush, it's just an appointed marriage. It will take a long time to prepare for the wedding." Xie Jingchi hugged her gently without overstepping his authority.

"Yeah." Shen Shuyi smiled, knowing that he was a vengeful person and might be planning to humiliate Song Tingshan.

But it just so happens that she likes it too.
