The Regent and His Wife Couldn't Possibly be so Loving.

Chapter 59

The big drama in front of the dark room door ended with Xie Shu's reply.

Chengfeng will take care of the rest of the things, and Xie Shu takes Mingyi away from this gloomy place.

Mingyi followed Xie Shu out of the yard with her head in a daze. Halfway through the walk, she came to her senses a little and paused slightly. She seemed to hear Xie Shu say that he loved her.

Seeing her stop, Xie Shu turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Mingyi pursed her lips and clenched her palms: "Why did you say that just now?"

"Is it because you don't want to divorce? In order to let me go back to Yiyuan? Or is it to continue to maintain a seemingly loving relationship between husband and wife?"

Xie Shu turned around and faced her: "What if I say that I don't want to be just superficial?"

Mingyi looked up at Xie Shu, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.

If you don't want just the surface, what else do you want?

The autumn wind was blowing hard, rustling through the treetops. Xie Shu took off his cloak and put it on Mingyi, then raised his hand to tuck Mingyi's hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ears.

"I want to be a truly loving couple with Your Highness."

Mingyi was stunned for a long time. The words that had been stuck in her throat seemed to have found a way to vent after he said this, and she poured out: "You just said that even if we didn't spend that night together, you would definitely marry me?"

"Yes." Xie Shu replied.

"Mingyi." Xie Shu called her name, "I did drink that night, but I was not drunk. I was sober."

"I was never forced, it was my own free will."

"I volunteered to be your slave that night."

Mingyi lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip: "But you told me that we are not suitable."

Xie Shu lowered his head in front of her: "I regretted it a long time ago."

"I did something stupid. Bound by family rules and worldly prejudices, I thought I was smart enough to not be tempted by you, but I didn't expect that I had already failed miserably."

"I thought that when I stood in front of the side hall door that day, I would hesitate for a long time whether to go in. But the fact is the opposite. I just wanted to have you very urgently."

"You should know how desperate I was that night."

Mingyi didn't know how Xie Shu could say such words seriously. Her face turned red as she recalled his eagerness and excessiveness that night.

It's like a wolf that hasn't eaten meat for twenty years. After smelling the aroma of meat, it chews the meat over and over again, tasting every inch of it before it is willing to give up.

In fact, the man in front of him had indeed fasted and abstained for many years.

Xie Shu's voice was a little hoarse: "But I don't want to just be your Highness's servant, I also want to be your Highness's sweetheart."

"Your Highness, can you give me another chance?"

Mingyi's nose tip suddenly felt uncontrollably sour, and there seemed to be something warm lingering in her eye sockets, eager to flow out.

She has liked the man in front of her for too long. Xie Shu's shadow has almost run through her life from being ignorant to knowing things. She has had expectations, sadness, and bitterness, and in the end she wanted to let go.
