Chapter 31: Do I Have to Sleep with You Every Night?:
Ling Ye had bullied her in the past!
But what did she do?
Not only did she bear no grudges, but she also saved Ling Ye's life!
She even gave him everything!
And now, Ling Ye actually didn’t want to marry her?
What kind of situation is this?
This guy clearly had no sense of responsibility!
"Really?" Ling Ye's lips curled into a smile as he looked at her.
"You..." Ye Lin's beautiful face immediately darkened as she stared at him, "Are you really unwilling to marry me?"
In her clear, golden eyes, a hint of grievance began to emerge. She had given him everything, but he truly didn’t want to marry her?
Then what did all of that mean?
Holding her in his arms and kissing her willingly—what was that about?
If Ling Ye really refused to take responsibility, of course, she would feel wronged!
She wasn’t the kind of person in the martial world who could just brush off a one-night stand as a fleeting encounter...
To her, these things were matters of a lifetime!
Seeing Ye Lin's expression, Ling Ye smiled playfully. He stepped forward, and extended his arm to pull her into his embrace.
"Hmph!" Ye Lin instinctively tried to pull away, but she didn’t really move far!
She just remained in Ling Ye's arms. Of course, she could sense that Ling Ye actually liked her.
"Let me make this clear first—if I marry you, you can’t be too controlling!" Ling Ye said with a smile, holding Ye Lin close and looking at her, "You should know I’m the kind of person who values... freedom!"
"As long as you don’t do anything you shouldn’t, why would I need to control you?" Ye Lin glared at him with her golden eyes.
"Alright! Deal!" Ling Ye chuckled.
"Deal? Are we just making a business transaction?" Ye Lin kept staring at him.
Couldn’t there be real feelings between them?
"If I hadn’t saved you, would you really not want to marry me?" Ye Lin continued to ask. Her expression was very serious as she said this!
It seemed like this question was very important to her!
If it weren’t for repaying a debt of gratitude, would Ling Ye marry her?
Seeing her serious expression, Ling Ye smiled again and softly replied, "Not really. In fact, I... did consider marrying you before! Even though I don’t have a home..."
When he was young, there was always someone in his heart. And at that time, the person in Ling Ye's heart was, of course, Ye Lin, the princess of the Mysterious Jade Empire. After all, she was his first love...
Hearing this, Ye Lin’s face finally brightened with a satisfied smile. She then rested her cheek gently on Ling Ye’s chest, "You and I, hand in hand. When the time comes, I’ll be the Empress, and you’ll be the leader of the martial world! The empire and the martial world will be under our control!"
"Hmm... that does sound plausible! Ahem..." Ling Ye smiled faintly, but then suddenly couldn’t help coughing, his face showing some discomfort! After all, he had just woken up, and his body wasn’t in the best condition.
"You... you should rest first. We’ll talk when you’re better!" Ye Lin said, her face full of concern.
"Mm!" Ling Ye nodded, then said, "I have a question for you!"
"What is it?" Ye Lin looked at him.
"Where do you sleep at night?" Ling Ye asked.
"Here, of course! Why?" Ye Lin asked curiously.
"So, does that mean I have to sleep with you every night?" Ling Ye suddenly smiled and tightened his grip around her waist as he spoke.
"Of... of course not!" Ye Lin’s face flushed red as she quickly pushed him away, "I’ll arrange a new place for you to stay!"
How could she let him sleep with her every night?
"Since we’re going to be married eventually, why sleep separately?" Ling Ye sighed.
"That... that can wait until after we’re married!" Ye Lin said, her face still red.
"Sigh! What a disappointment!" Ling Ye shook his head, then lay down on her bed, "So can I sleep here one more night?"
"Well..." Ye Lin wanted to refuse because letting him sleep here one more night would mean she’d have to sleep with him tonight!
Even though... things had already gone this far, she was still shy. After all, previously... Ling Ye had been unconscious! What would he be like when he’s awake? She felt too embarrassed to think about it...
"Your Highness!" Just then, a maid’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, "The Emperor wants to see you immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin quickly turned to Ling Ye, "You... you rest here and don’t go out! Stay here!"
With that, she turned and walked out, her face still red.
She opened the door and closed it behind her, leaving Ling Ye alone in her bedchamber...
Outside the door.
When the maids saw Ye Lin come out, they were all shocked!
What... what’s going on? Why did the princess’s hair suddenly turn completely white?
Did this world really have such a thing as turning white overnight?
But soon after their surprise, they all remembered something!
The Empress from back then had the same white hair as the princess!
So... this should be considered normal, right?
The princess didn’t look unwell; in fact, she seemed a bit rosy in the cheeks.
As long as she’s alright! The princess looks... even more beautiful than before...
