Chapter 631: Marrying the pheasant or the rabbit

He fed her mouthful of soup one after the other, moving very carefully and gently .  He was completely different from that violent and wild person from before .

But Chen Ning knew even though wild beasts showed their gentle sides sometimes, that did not stop them from eating people .

After she ate and drank enough, she closed her eyes to rest up .

Although she closed her eyes, she could feel his gaze on her face, not moving at all .

“Your highness, why do you keep looking at me?  If it is because I saved you, you don’t have to mind it at all .  I don’t like owing people, so I saved you because you saved me, we don’t owe each other anything . ”

She opened her eyes and met his gaze .

“You saved me because you couldn’t bear let me die and that is because you have begun to like me . ”  He suddenly said, speaking in a certain voice .

“… . . ”  Chen Ning almost couldn’t help spitting out .  She stared at him, not understanding where this man’s mysterious self confidence came from .

“Your highness, I don’t……”

She did not even get to finish before he covered her mouth .  His large palm was tightly placed on her lips, not letting her speak .

He revealed a smile that was confident and complacent, “I know you won’t admit it, you West Chu women all say one thing, but think another .  Your mouth says no, but your heart says yes, not like our East Qin women at all . Like is like, love is love . When you marry me, I won’t allow you to be like this anymore, understand?”

Marry you?

When did I promise to marry you?

Her eyes went wide as she stared at him .

“Are you stunned with happiness hearing me say I would marry you?  Look at how big your eyes are, are you very happy? I promise you, I’m willing to marry you as my only woman .  You will become my princess and from now on, you will be able to enjoy my prestige and honour, with everyone looking up to you .  Your current husband Chu Shao Yang will also look up to you from beneath your feet . ”

He revealed a smile filled with energy, looking very high spirited .

Chen Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry hearing this .

He released the hand covering her mouth and held her hand, stroking the bandage on her wrist .  He looked at her without moving his gaze, revealing a gentle gaze .

With a serious expression, he said, “Since I have been poisoned, the poison has acted up almost every day .  If I can’t soak in a sulfur hot spring, I need to drink hot blood to suppress the poison . My servants have always prepared the blood of various animals .  There was chicken blood, duck blood, and goat blood . I don’t even know how many animals I have drunk from . But there has never been anyone that has fed their blood to me, you are the only one .  My heart was thinking in that time that if I didn’t die, I would marry this girl . I will always keep my words!”

So it was because of this!

If she knew it was like this, she would not have used her blood to save him .  She should have found the blood of an animal for him to drink at that time, for example a rabbit or a pheasant .  If he wanted to repay them, he could marry a pheasant or a rabbit!

“Your highness, why didn’t you say this earlier?  Ai, how could I have not thought of catching a rabbit or a pheasant?  If I knew their blood could also be used, I wouldn’t have used my own blood .  Cutting my wrist really hurt and I’m filled with regret right now . If I could turn back time, I would definitely feed you a rabbit’s blood and never feed you my blood .  Ai, I never thought of that at that time, this is all stupid!”
