He initially expected her to fight, which he would gladly accept. It would go to touching her 'accidentally' when she would attack, right. Wei Jiayi grinned while thinking this.
"Remove the creepy smile on your face, or I will punch you, and we are not married yet." annoyance clearly laced in her tone.
Raising both his hands after a small chuckle, "Alright." he then released a deep breath, "You're mad about the dream, aren't you?" Wei Jiayi arrived at the inner room where the bed was located. The maid was sitting on the bed, head lifted up to look at him.
"You know that I am not only mad at that," she said with a helpless tone. "What is this all about Wei Jiayi?" she asked, thinking, 'Why was he suddenly wanting to marry of all won in the Shizi Empire her?'
She was not a plaything. If he wanted cooperation with the dicine she would make in the future that was perfectly fine. Why not just leave her alone?
A lantern illuminated with bright light from the crystals was enough for him to see the maids features clearly. He could also see that the bed had a big lump in the middle of it like a being was laying down and covered by the satin sheets.
The maid's face was freckled, hair dishevelled due to being dragged by Li Huan earlier. Eyes looking at him with vibrant scarlet that showed annoyance, great annoyance, and interest.
"i i?" He asked unsure, looking at the maid doubtful.
The maid's head tilted like she was wondering what he was talking about. "Are you calling her or ?" The voice said sounding closer, but the maid's mouth did not open.
His brows furrowed in wonder, "I am calling for you.", feeling insulted. He could at least notice that the maid was shorter than her.
"Why do you call that?" Gao Lan i said softly, her hand resting at his broad back made his standstill. "Do not look." She said softly. "Do not touch." Then added, "It's your punishnt."
"I like calling you i i" He really found the na suitable for her as an endearnt, then paused a mont, before continuing with slight concern, "How long?" Wei Jiayi asked referring to his punishnt, despite also feeling regret for giving her the upper hand.
"Hmm. Two years of punishnt." She said. Well, it would be better if more. That's probably enough ti for Wei Jiayi to stop bothering her? She read a book before, two years is enough for love or interest to fade.
Gritting his teeth, "Why so long? One day is enough. Probably I can just give you a gift? I did help you during your dream right? Did you not like your dowry?" he asked, feeling the tip of her fingers moving into circle motions against his back. 'Wife this already is enough punishnt Do you want to be pushed down?' Wei Jiayi thought while restraining his urges.
"Speaking of that, I do not want to marry," she said, "but thank you for the wonderful gifts." genuinely an that. Most of the treasures he gave were good for cultivation. She could not use them though as her physique was different.
Feeling a bitter taste on his mouth due to the rejection, "Why not? I can give you more." he said not showing any hint of his sadness.
"I never want to marry, Wei Jiayi." She affird. Through his line of sight, he noticed her slowly moving to stand in front of him, so he imdiately closed his eyes, showing his sincerity and willingness to compromise.
