Chapter 343 I Haven’t Promised You Yet
"That sounds reasonable, but it's a bit risky after all." Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath. "In fact, these two marriages were all Bei Yunting's attempt to win us over. In the end, the people who were supposed to be won over became a family. I don't think Bei Yunting would agree to that."
"The national god only needs to nod his head. As for the rest, I will naturally find a way to complete it."
"Words are not enough. I don't see your sincerity." Yi Qianhuan said this with some dissatisfaction.
Ji Chilian has been talking to himself since he came here.
The man said he wanted her to nod, but in fact he had only come to a conclusion and put a decision in front of her, waiting for her to nod.
She was not satisfied with the result.
Yi Qianhuan originally wanted to find another way to get more information from Ji Chilian.
For example, what exactly happened between the former prince and Bei Yunting, and how Ji Chilian plans to bring down Bei Yunting next.
But before she could speak, Ji Chilian stood up.
Confusion appeared in Yi Qianhuan's eyes, and she didn't understand what this man wanted to do until Ji Chilian walked in front of her.
Until Ji Chilian knelt on one knee and took her hand.
"Yi Qianhuan, I am willing to marry you with a ten-mile red dowry as a betrothal gift. Are you willing?"
Meeting Ji Chilian's deep eyes, Yi Qianhuan was dazed for a moment, and felt that Ji Chilian's aggressive gaze was too familiar.
Six years ago, on that absurd night, he also looked at her with such a burning gaze.
As if she was his prey.
Yi Qianhuan's body trembled slightly, and when he came to his senses, Ji Chilian had already put a ring on his finger.
"I haven't promised you yet!" Yi Qianhuan said as he wanted to take off the ruby ring on his finger.
But for some reason, her fingers are so slender, but she can't take off the ruby ring!
"If you and I get engaged, it will be more convenient for us to move around, and you will be able to see Yubao more often."
Ji Chilian's words made Yi Qianhuan pause what he was doing.
"Moreover, no matter who you are betrothed to, the marriage between Princess Lianhe and I will not be settled. Once we are engaged, I will definitely be restricted and it will be inconvenient for me to do many things."
Seeing that Yi Qianhuan still had a stern face and did not respond, Ji Chilian took a deep breath and continued: "The emperor granted the marriage this time not only to win over, but also to test. If you let him manipulate you, the next one to suffer will be the young general."
Yi Qianhuan's eyebrows twitched violently.
"Okay, I promise you. From now on, you and I will be an engaged couple to the outside world, and we will respect each other like guests to our own family." Yi Qianhuan was finally convinced.
Ji Chilian's words are rough but his logic is sound. He speaks clearly and understands Bei Yunting's character.
What's more, if she gets engaged to a strange man, in order to avoid suspicion, she will definitely have to interact with Du Gongshao in the future. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for her to see Yu Bao at that time?
She couldn't bear to see her precious child!
"Even though it's just a show, we have to do it in full. The cooperation is known only to heaven and earth, and I know about it. As for the other people around you, I hope you can keep it a secret. Otherwise, once the truth is revealed, our entire plan will be ruined, and the safety of you and your family will also be implicated."
"Of course, I won't tell anyone the truth. But my elder brother and Mo Bao may need some time to accept this..." Yi Qianhuan thought of this, and the veins on his forehead jumped wildly, "If Mo Bao asks about it, what excuse should I give?"
Outsiders may think that she and Ji Chilian have a good relationship, but Mo Bao knows the inside story. How can she make Mo Bao accept the news of her engagement without telling him the truth?
Ji Chilian stood up and patted the dust off his knees: "It's not uncommon for a single man and a single woman to fall in love over time."
Yi Qianhuan’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Ji Chilian's words forced her to tell everyone that they were engaged not for any other reason, but because they were in love with each other!
"Or does the national god have other better ways?" Ji Chilian asked back.
Yi Qianhuan thought carefully and shook his head in disappointment: "Just do as you say."
"I will settle the marriage contract within three days." Ji Chilian said, put away the file and left.
Yi Qianhuan had a severe headache. She felt fatigue sweeping over her and sat on a chair, supporting her face with her hands to rest.
As soon as Ji Chilian left, Yi Qianyuan and Yi Mobao came in.
"Mom, why are you so tired?" As soon as Yi Mobao entered the room, he saw that Yi Qianhuan was in low spirits. He quickly brought her tea and then massaged her legs with his little fists.
"I'm fine." Yi Qianhuan didn't know where to start, so he just picked up the tea bowl and started drinking.
"How can you be okay? You were so energetic just now, how come you are so tired after talking to Ji Chilian for such a short while? That man must have said something he shouldn't have said to upset you. Huan'er, don't worry, Ji Chilian is unwilling to bother, I will personally take action and will definitely bring the real murderer to justice as soon as possible." Yi Qianyuan said, clenched his fists and was ready to leave.
"Brother, things are not what you think..." Yi Qianhuan saw Yi Qianyuan turning his head to look at him, and felt that the words that were originally stuck in his throat were a little difficult to say, "The reason why I feel a little tired is not because of worry, but because... I am too happy."
After Yi Qianhuan said this, Yi Qianyuan and Yi Mobao were even more confused.
"Mother, haven't you always disliked Ji Chilian? What's so happy about chatting with him?" Yi Mobao asked suspiciously.
Yi Qianhuan couldn't be exposed and tried to stay calm: "Mobao, you can't say that about Dugong. In fact, I feel that Dugong is not as bad as people say recently. Speaking of which, he has helped us a lot before, openly and secretly. We can maintain a good relationship with him appropriately."
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Yi Mobao was really worried now. He sat next to Yi Qianhuan and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Sister, when I first met Ji Chilian, didn't you remind me to be more careful and say that Ji Chilian was a thoughtful person and I shouldn't believe him easily?" Yi Qianyuan couldn't understand how long it had been? How could his sister's thoughts change so quickly?
"That was just a joke between me and my elder brother. In fact, the governor is very good, and I have decided to cooperate with him more from now on." Facing the puzzled and probing eyes of the two, Yi Qianhuan was afraid that he would be exposed if he continued to stay here, so he simply found an excuse, "I am indeed a little tired, I'm going to rest first."
"Mother...!" Yi Mobao's call did not stop Yi Qianhuan from leaving. He looked at Yi Qianyuan beside him in confusion, "Uncle, what happened to my mother?"
"I know as much as you do. How should I know? No wonder people always say that women's hearts are as unfathomable as the sea. Huan'er was afraid of Ji Chilian before, but now she is protecting him. Could it be that Ji Chilian has drugged Huan'er?"
Yi Mobao became even more uneasy after hearing this: "It may be that too many things have happened recently, causing mother to be tired, which is why she said so much nonsense. Uncle, now the things at home are left to you to take care of. I will go to the kitchen to make something delicious to nourish mother's body."
Yi Qianyuan agreed immediately and he and Yi Mobao went their separate ways.
