The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 220: Who did you love the most in your lifetime?

Ji Man dryly laughed. She let out a long sigh.

Wow, it was time to go back. It had already been such a long time since she had last heard Nie Sangyu's voice. It was probably because she was getting closer and closer to fulfilling her wish, right? On the day that she finally fulfilled her wish, would she heard the sound of a system going "ding" as a signal? Then, the system would congratulate player Ji Man for completing the supporting female's wish. Mission reward: return to modern-day.

Eventually, she wasn't able to keep smiling. Turning her head to the side, she looked at the person lying next to her. Ning Yuxuan's eyes were closed.

His throat slightly moved, and his voice was somewhat hoarse as he asked, "I won the bet we made in the imperial prison. Isn't it about time for you to return those words to me?"

Ji Man blankly stared at him. "What words?"

He turned over. This was a person that had proven himself to be a player, a superior stallion. He stretched his hand out and brushed it over her heart. He said each word very seriously, "This. Don't pretend that you don't know."

Feeling her heart warming up, Ji Man evaded his fingers in dismay. Slightly moving back a bit, she said, "If this is something that can be given away or taken back at will, Nie Sangyu wouldn't have ended up with such a miserable fate."

Ning Yuxuan looked at her and couldn't resist softly laughing. "You're usually so clever. It's cute to occasionally see you being confused. It's been such a long time. Do you really not have any feelings for me?"

Ji Man honestly nodded. "I like gentle men, so there was a few times when I was tempted.

"Oh?" Ning Yuxuan raised his eyes brows.

Ji Man continued "But, as soon as I think about the unknown number of times that your affection has been duplicated and portioned out to others, I immediately feel that your affection isn't worth my feelings. I won't do things that aren't worth my effort. I just did my best to think about your bad points, and I wasn't feel tempted."

Was there such a thing? Ning Yuxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I remember that you said that you like men that will only love one woman. But, how can there be a man in this world that will only have one woman for a lifetime?

"Exactly, that's why I want to go back." Ji Man curled her lip. "Although transportation and communication is very fast in my world, and it's possible to fall in love with many people, each person is only allowed to marry one other person at a time."

Ning Yuxuan froze in surprise.

"If we were in my world, when you wanted to marry Wen Wan back then, you would have to divorce Sangyu first. Not only that, you would have to give Nie Sangyu half of your assets," Ji Man said with a serious expression, "If you didn't divorce Nie Sangyu before taking Wen Wan as your concubine, then as your legal wife, Sangyu could go to her home and curse her for being shameless. If you punish Sangyu according to the household rules, it'll be considered domestic violence, and the courts will sentence you to monetarily compensating her."

Feeling somewhat dumbfounded, Marquis Moyu frowned as he asked, "How can there be a world that's this unreasonable?"

"It's a world that has equality for men and women. That's why, no matter how wonderful the ancient world is, or how much money I have here, I want to go back." Ji Man sighed. "Let's go to sleep. I have to go look for Haohao tomorrow."

"En." And yet, Ning Yuxuan silently thought about Ji Man's words for a long time before he finally closed his eyes.
