CHAPTER 283 (2): DO YOU DARE
âHow gutsy,â Pei Qianhao remarked slowly and softly. He didnât let go of her chin, and even started to pinch her waist harder.
âPrince Hao, you canât do it, nor will you dare to do it. Even excluding yourself, none of the court officials have official wives who were born as maidservants.â
Su Xi-erâs words had hit the nail on the head. Pei Qianhao was the foster son of the Pei family. Although the court officials followed his orders, they only superficially did so because of his authority. On the inside, the officials still looked down upon him. He is just Lord Peiâs adopted son, and neither of his parents are known. Thatâs why, to make all the court officials shut up, the woman who becomes Princess Consort Hao must be from a noble background.
The words âcanât do it and wonât dare to do itâ had touched Pei Qianhaoâs bottom line. In my eyes, there is nothing that I wonât dare to do. It is simply a matter of whether I want to do it.
âSu Xi-er, there is nothing in the world that this Prince wonât dare to do. However, if you want to be Princess Consort Hao, thatâs possible. But first, you have to give your body to this Prince. Completely..â His voice was low, being filled with authority. At the same time, the hand around her waist began to move.
Su Xi-er looked into his eyes, her heart suddenly beating violently. If I give myself to him, will he really marry me and make me Princess Consort Hao? I said those words so that I wouldnât have to go to the Prince Hao Residence, but is he serious? She could only try to guess his intentions from the recesses of his eyes.
âThis Prince can see that you are the one who doesnât dare.â After spending so many days together, Pei Qianhao knew what Su Xi-erâs bottom line was. She wouldnât dare to joke about her chastity.
âPrince Hao, this servant doesnât dare. After all, the imperial palace requires all palace maids to be virgins.â She then raised her arms and pushed Pei Qianhao away.
Pei Qianhao didnât try to resist, and only watched as she stepped back. There has never been any other woman who would continue to reject me so many times, and I have also never been so serious. Everyone in the world says that I love beauties, and that I have countless women by my side. However, I am the only one who knows that I have never touched a woman. As for affairs in the bedroom between men and women, I know what to do, but have never done it before.
There is no woman who has ever interested me. Only Su Xi-er can do so, even causing me to lose my cool at times; however, she pushes me away every time I try to make an advance.
If I had my way, she would be dead by now. That being said, I will definitely not force her; I want her to be willing.
Su Xi-er noticed the fiery heat in his eyes, something that she had failed to see the previous times she had pushed him away, but this time, she could feel her heart palpitating for a moment. She had been truly surprised when he had suggested for her to give her body to him, and to become his official wife.
She knew that if Pei Qianhao said something, he would make it happen.
âSu Xi-er, the more you want to return to the Palace Side Quarters, the more this Prince wonât allow it. As for where you will go and where you will work, listen to this Princeâs orders.â Pei Qianhao then left the hall.
Before he could get far, his voice could be heard again. âWhat are you doing standing there in a stupor? We will be leaving for Beimin tomorrow at noon. Go and pack your things; wait in the main hall in four hours.â
After that, he turned on his heels and disappeared from sight.
Su Xi-er left shortly after; she didnât make it far before she ran into Ning Lianchen.
What is he doing here? Did the imperial guards from the Prince Hao Residence let Lianchen in without reporting?
Ning Lianchen didnât think that the first person he saw after entering the posthouse would be his Imperial Elder Sister. However, as there were imperial guards around, he had to maintain the deportment of an Emperor.
He called out, âMiss Xi-er.â
Su Xi-er bowed to pay her respects, but was stopped by Ning Lianchen halfway through. âMiss Xi-er, there is no need to pay respects. This Emperor was invited by Prince Hao to come to the posthouse to discuss important matters.â
So it wasnât because he took the initiative to come, but because Pei Qianhao had invited him.
