He excitedly wanted to go up and embrace Su Han, but was pushed back by Su Hanâs cold voice, âYour Highness, please show some respect!â
Show some respectâ¦
Chu Xiaotian smiled wryly and helplessly, âThatâs right, you are no longer the Regional Princess, and I should not be touching you, but I really miss you, Hanâer. Forgive me and come back home with me, okay?â
âForgive? Go back home?â Su Hanâs lips curled up with a mocking arc, a trace of disdain spilling from her eyes, âYour Highness, you think that since I have not held the past entanglements against you, I am still as easy to manipulate as before and that you can overstep your bounds with me, right?â
âI didnâtâ¦â Caught off guard and seen through, Chu Xiaotian suddenly felt somewhat guilty!
It was just as Su Han had said!
He took advantage of her unwillingness to lose her temper at him, so he harassed her relentlessly, step by step pressuring her, thinking that he could eventually take her back to the princeâs mansion.
Chu Xiaotianâs reaction was within Su Hanâs expectations, even the thoughts behind each of his expressions were crystal clear to her.
âChu Xiaotian, you have always thought that Su Han still loves you; even if you almost killed me, left me bruised all over, humiliated me thousands of times, I would still return to your side, grovel before you, right?â
âNo! I have never seen you as groveling, I know you acted that way because you admired me! Your toleration of my mother and sister was all because of your deep love for me! But Hanâer, I realize my mistake now, my mother and sister have also been exiled three thousand miles away, they can never return to Jiang Du City again. Isnât this punishment enough? You should come back with me now!â
Chu Xiaotian reached out to take her hand, but Su Han swiped her sleeve, and he didnât even touch the hem of her garment.
Chu Xiaotianâs brow furrowed deeply, âHanâer, what more do you want? I have already humbled myself to ask for your forgiveness, how much longer will you stay angry? Do you really want me to kneel before you and admit my wrongs?â
Chu Xiaotian had only mentioned it casually, but Su Han replied with a slight smile, âAll right, if Your Highness kneels and apologizes, then Iâll consider what youâve proposed.â
âSu Han! Donât go too far! How can you make me kneel to you!â Chu Xiaotian instantly became furious, his face the color of iron, âA manâs knees bear gold, and besides, considering my status, how can I kneel to a woman!â
âWhy not? Kneeling to admit oneâs errors is nothing out of the ordinary. Or is it that Your Highness believes you are truly blameless, and that your apology is merely because youâve heard the news of my impending marriage and cannot stand it?â
A glint of shrewdness flashed through Su Hanâs eyes.
In the past, Chu Xiaotian also pestered her on the street, at the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, on quite a few occasions.
But each time, a single look of disdain from her was enough to break his confidence, his pride would not allow him to continue being humiliated in public.
However, this time, he had been waiting at the door of Marquisâs Manor every night, persisting for three or four days already.
She had only come out to see him because of this.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Presumably, it was hearing about her and Song Chengyi that had provoked him.
A look of disgust appeared in Chu Xiaotianâs eyes, he hated Su Hanâs shrewdness. The Su Han of the past, who always displayed obedience and tenderness towards him, was who he missed. That was why, time and again, he put his dignity aside and came back to find her!
But now, she looked as though she could see right through him without him having to say a word.
It made him particularly uneasy.
