The confusion in Wen Yu's eyes was so obvious that Ji Yunqing could read it without any effort. "What, is there something wrong with what this prince said?" Ji Yunqing said haughtily.
Rather than trying to court Wen Yu, it was more like he was forcing her to fall in love with him.
This feeling was so strange.
Wen Yu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Then she gave him a disgusted look and said, "What makes you think I should just go along with you? I'm not your possession!"
"If you think no one likes you, you should talk to your concubine instead of coming to me, someone who has nothing to do with you, and saying such nonsense!"
Wen Yu almost shouted these words.
Her anger was intense.
Ji Yunqing stared at her for a while. Then he suddenly reached out and snatched the hairpin from her hand.
Wen Yu was startled. Just as she was about to turn around and run away, she was pulled into his arms.
Ji Yunqing suddenly leaned in and forced their lips to meet.
When the kiss ended, Ji Yunqing reluctantly pulled back, his eyes dark.
"Then tell this prince what this prince should do for you to fall in love with this prince?"
Ji Yunqing suddenly spoke, his tone very serious.
He had taken the bait.
Wen Yu was secretly delighted. But in front of Ji Yunqing, she just angrily wiped her lips, as if they had just been touched by something dirty.
Seeing this, Ji Yunqing's eyes widened for a moment, and his anger was about to burst out.
But thinking of his purpose, he managed to hold back his annoyance.
"Do you hate it so much when I touch you?" Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth and asked. Then he gave a malicious smile and deliberately said, "But is there any part of your body that I haven't touched?"
Hearing this, Wen Yu angrily looked up at him and said, "You can't even respect me. What makes you think I'll like you? You're dreaming!"
"Respect? I am the lord and you are the subject. Why should I respect you?" Ji Yunqing frowned, looking really puzzled. "Moreover, you said you like humble and polite people. Didn't Pei Shen treat you well before? But you still killed him."
Hearing the name Pei Shen, Wen Yu suddenly smiled. "Pei Shen? Humble and polite? How could you use this word to describe him?"
"Is a man who covets his sister - in - law worthy of this word?"
"He is dirty and despicable!"
"He wasn't being humble to me. He was just inferior!"
Wen Yu said these words one by one. Then she looked directly into Ji Yunqing's eyes and said, "As for Your Highness, you don't really like me. You just enjoy the process of chasing your prey. You want to tease me!"
"You've chosen the wrong person. I will never submit to violence. Even if you beat me to death, I will curse you with all my strength before I die."
"You asked me why I smile at Huo Xiao. He won't offend me. He respects me. He treats me as a person."
"However, Ji Yunqing, someone like you will never get someone's sincere love."
For some reason.
After hearing these words, Ji Yunqing surprisingly didn't get angry.
He looked at Wen Yu thoughtfully. After a long while, he slowly said, "But Mother Concubine said that everyone is afraid of pain. As long as it hurts enough, people will be obedient."
"Mother Concubine said this is to help those who have done wrong improve."
"I am a prince. Why should there be someone in this world who doesn't like me? Not liking me is of course a mistake. Shouldn't I help you correct it?"
Ji Yunqing's tone was stubborn, and he didn't think there was anything absurd about what he said.
[I feel so sorry for our prince. He must have suffered a lot when he was a child.]
[What's the use of your pity? Look at the expression on the female lead's face. She just wants to kill the Third Prince.]
[I'm really fed up with this female lead. The prince is used to solving problems with violence just because of his childhood education. Why does she have to keep harping on it?]
What Ji Yunqing had experienced in his childhood had nothing to do with her.
Why should she understand his hardships?
She only knew that part of the pain she suffered was caused by Ji Yunqing.
"I don't like being beaten. I've never been treated like this by anyone since I was a child. You don't know how to like someone at all. A person like you has no heart." Wen Yu said in a low voice, her tone calm and her eyes showing a sense of desolation.
It seemed that when she said these words, she had already anticipated what Ji Yunqing would do next.
Originally, Ji Yunqing was really angry that she said he had no heart. He had almost bared his heart in front of Wen Yu. How could she say such a thing?
But looking at her expression, he suddenly didn't want to do anything.
Since she thought he didn't know how to like someone, he would make her believe his feelings.
"From now on, I'll try not to lay a hand on you anymore."
Ji Yunqing said in a tone of giving a grand order. Coupled with the content, it seemed extremely out of place.
He himself also seemed to feel something strange. He subconsciously shifted his gaze and added, "On the premise that you're not allowed to avoid seeing me from now on."
"Otherwise, I'll still use my own way to make you know how much I love you."
He deliberately emphasized the last few words.
Wen Yu looked at him in disbelief, but there was a mocking look of distrust in her eyes.
It was as if she was silently saying that she knew he was just saying it.
After all, in the first few days when he locked Wen Yu up, Ji Yunqing also repeatedly said that he wouldn't do anything.
"Believe it or not. Shen Wei is still waiting for me. Go back by yourself."
Ji Yunqing said this and then rode his horse back alone.
---
Early the next morning, not long after Wen Yu got up, she ran into Ji Yunqing in the front hall.
He was holding a letter in his hand and naturally handed it to Wen Yu. "Huo Xiao is not a good person. Don't see him again."
"I really don't know whether Huo Xiao is a good person or not. But can the words of someone who breaks into someone else's mansion without saying a word be trusted?"
Wen Yu gave him a sarcastic look, took the letter and directly lit it on the candle wick.
Seeing this, Ji Yunqing frowned slightly. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he held it back.
"Huo Xiao's mother is not easy to deal with. If you get in touch with him, be careful that Lady Huo will gossip about you everywhere." Ji Yunqing seemed a bit helpless and had to briefly tell her the content of the letter.
Wen Yu lifted her eyelids and glanced at him. She said curiously, "The sun is rising in the west. Is the Third Prince going to give me some advice on my second - marriage candidate?"
"How dare you!" Ji Yunqing couldn't help but shout angrily.
Seeing this, Wen Yu raised her eyebrows, looking as if she had expected it.
"I... I talked to Shen Wei yesterday. I admit that at first I really just..." Ji Yunqing suddenly stopped. A look of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wen Yu let out a sneer. "Admit that you just regarded me as a pastime?"
"Your Highness really doesn't need to emphasize this several times. Of course I know."
"So, Your Highness wants to say that now you're really in love with me?"
"I really can't believe it."
