Chapter 33: Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water (3)

Zongzheng Wuyou was stunned, she actually rejected him again! In order to stay by his side, other women could disregard having a status and even go to the extent of death yet she casually wrapped up everything they had as just a spring dream! A totally careless look on her face, and she even said that the ** was done with both parties willing participation so marriage was not necessary, Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly felt his emotions were thrown in turmoil. He frowned, hints of anger rising in his eyes as he reached a hand out to grab her chin. He didn't like how her lofty and arrogant expression that seeme dto say that no one on this earth and nothing in this world was important enough to her. He narrowed his phoenix eyes and stared into hers, his gaze trying to penetrate her very soul as he spoke in a heavy voice, "Do you know that in this world...exactly how many women want to marry benwang?"

Man Yao was hurting from her chin being squeezed and she protested only to be met with his increased force as if he would only stop when he finished crushing her. She relented and let him be, how could this pain compare with the pain she was feeling in her heart? She smiled at him, her gaze firm and steady and her voice calm, "Your Highness Prince Li's identity is noble and looks are peerless, naturally there are countless people who want to marry you, you can...just marry all of them, but...you will definitely not find me amongst those people."

Zongzheng Wuyou's expression darkened. If other people said this, they would just be throwing a tantrum, but for her to say these words, it made it seem as if these were her honest thoughts. The woman who cried just from being moved by his words last night could smile so indifferently after finding out that his feelings for her were not true today. He felt this smile was far too glaring. He stared at her for a while longer, unable to find anything else other than the disdain in her eyes and the sneer hanging off of her face. He didn't believe that her heart would be as calm as her face. He suddenly reached out to wrap an arm around her waist, and when he grabbed it, he recalled the feelings it elicited in him last night, and he couldn't help but react instinctively, forcefully pulling her in front of him, the two people tightly pressing against one another.

Man Yao's face changed and unhesitatingly tried to push him away, speaking coldly, "What are you doing? Let go of me."

Zongzheng Wuyou not only did not let go of her and instead used one of his hands to firmly keep her waist in position and his other hand caressed her pale face, his fingers playing with her fair earlobes as he gave a sinister smile, "I just wanted to make you remember what you felt last night...how about it? Do you remmeber now? You might be refusing to marry benwang right now, but last night...carrying the heart of wanting to marry benwang, you willing...offered your own body."

Man Yao's lips lost all their color. This man was too cruel, he couldn't bear to see her well and wanted to dig deeper into her hidden wounds, drawing out blood, would he only cease after cruelly stepping on her? She used all of her strength to stop herself from trembling. Her heart was frozen like ice and she forced herself to laugh, "So what? In my world, when two strangers have a one night stand, they go their own separate ways the next morning, they don't even remember if the other party was ugly or beautiful...this type of thing is not a big deal. Furthermore, I would never marry someone who uses me."

Zongzheng Wuyou's hands stilled. He believed the one night stand she mentioned, but he instinctively felt that she wasn't someone so casual but was rather like his mother, treating the body as the most loyal expression of love. He didn't try to dissect his reasoning behind why he wanted to marry her, could it really just be for her body? Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly let go of her, authoritatively commanding, "Benwang said it before, in this life, the only person you can marry is benwang! Whether you agree or not...is not up to you."
