Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Amazing, the Commandery Princess Knows How to Flirt
A single "Sorry to trouble you" left Song Zhiyu a bit bewildered, staring in astonishment at Niu Panāer.
Why does something feel off?
Ah, itās her eyes, looking at me as if Iām some sort of wronged little wife, full of pity.
Pity your granddad!
Song Zhiyu jumped up, standing on the bed and glaring at her: "Donāt give me that crap. I warn you, Miss Niu, stop those awful thoughts of yours. Youāre not the man, I am. If thereās anyone whoās wronged, it should be me saying it."
Indeed, standing on the bed, I can look down at her.
Niu Panāer: "..."
Her eyes met his, gradually filling with amusement.
"Sit down when you talk, arenāt you afraid youāll bump your head?" She pulled a chair from beside the table and sat by the bed, starting to speak: "I know youāre not happy about this engagement in your heart."
"Oh, come off it, youāre not the worm in my belly, how would you know what Iām thinking?" Song Zhiyu snorted.
"I know, you like those spoiled and pampered noble ladies from the capital, gentle and lovely, understanding, not someone like me whoās unromantic and just a body short of being a guy. Being hastily betrothed to you, you must feel a great sense of disparity and certainly unwilling."
Song Zhiyu wanted to shout nonsense but for some reason, something held him back from speaking.
"Actually, Iām also surprised and astonished by this imperial marriage," Niu Panāer crossed her hands, looking at him and saying: "Before the edict, I never thought about what kind of person my husband would be, not because I didnāt understand, but because I knew thinking wouldnāt change anything. My husband, whoever he was, would have to be approved by the Emperor because I come from the Prince Dingbeiās Mansion."
Song Zhiyu remained silent, feeling something odd and uncomfortable. Her earnest demeanor made him feel like a child throwing a tantrum, while an adult was doling out wisdom.
A bit frustrating.
"So I never fantasized about what kind of person my husband would be. To me, whether heās ugly or handsome, good or bad, it would be the same. He would be my husband, and if nothing unexpected happens, the father of my children, thatās all there is to it."
Song Zhiyu gulped, clenching his hand on the quilt, staring at her intently.
Niu Panāer, looking at his hand and then at his eyes, said: "But when the Emperor betrothed you as my husband, honestly, I was happy and joyful, and even somewhat relieved."
Song Zhiyu froze.
"Song Yulang, compared to others, itās fortunate that youāre my husband." Niu Panāer smiled sweetly.
Thump thump thump.
Song Zhiyuās heart began to race uncontrollably.
The tips of his ears turned slightly red as he deliberately said in a jesterās voice: "What are you doing, saying such things? Are you trying to seduce me because Iām handsome? I knew you coveted my looks from the start!"
Niu Panāer chuckled mischievously: "Saying this, I actually just wanted to ask you for directions."
Song Zhiyu was dumbfounded: "Directions, to where?"
"To your heart."
Poof!
Song Zhiyu choked on his saliva, pointing at her.
Impressive, this tomboy was actually a hidden flirt, he really misjudged her.
Niu Panāer said: "Yulang, donāt worry, Iāll surely treat you well. Even after we marry, you can still be as you were before, doing whatever you like. If anyone bullies you, Iāll teach them a lesson. You just continue to be carefree and happy, leave everything else to me."
Song Zhiyu: "..."
This is quite the turnaround.
