He was initially expected for her to fight, which he can gladly accept. It would go to touch her "accidentally" when she attacks, right. Wei Jiayi grinned while thinking this."Remove the creepy smile on your face, or I will punch you, and we are not married yet." annoyance clearly laced on her tone.
Raising both his hand after a small chuckle, "Alright." then he released a deep breath, "You"re mad about the dream aren"t you?" Wei Jiayi arrived on the inner room where the bed is located. The maid sitting on the bed, head lifted up to look at him.
"You know that I am not only mad at that." she said with a helpless tone, "What is this all about Wei Jiayi?" she asked. Why suddenly wanting to marry? Of all woman in the s.h.i.+zi Empire why her?
She is not a plaything. If he wants cooperation with the medicine she will make in the future that is perfectly fine. Why not just leave her alone?
A lantern illuminated with bright light from the crystals is enough for him to see the maids features clearly. He can also see that the bed have a big lump in the middle of it like a being is laying down and covered by the satin sheets.
The maid"s face is freckled, hair disheveled due to being dragged by Li Huan earlier. Eyes looking at him with vibrant scarlet that shows annoyance great annoyance and interest.
"Mei Mei?" He asked unsure, looking at the maid doubtful.
The maid head, tilted like she is wondering what he is talking about. "Are you calling her or me?" The voice said sounding closer, but the maid"s mouth did not open.
His brows furrowed in wonder, "I am calling for you." feeling insulted. He can at least notice that the maid is shorter than her.
"Why do you call me that?" Gao Lan Mei said softly, her hand resting at his broad back made him stand still. "Do not look." She said softly. "Do not touch." Then added, "It"s your punishment."
"I like calling you Mei Mei…" he really finds the name suitable for her as an endearment, then paused a moment, before continuing with slight with concern, "How long?" Wei Jiayi asked referring to his punishment despite also feeling regret for giving her the upper hand.
"Hmm. Two years of punishment." She said. Well, it will be better if more. Probably that"s enough time for Wei Jiayi to stop bothering her? She read a book before, two years is enough for love or interest to fade.
Gritting his teeth, "Why so long? One day is enough. Probably I can just give you a gift? I did help you during your dream right? Did you not like your dowry?" He asked feeling the tip of her fingers moving into circles motions against his back. "Wife this already a punishment enough… Do you want to be pushed down?" Wei Jiayi"s thoughts while restraining his urges.
"Speaking of that, I do not want to marry," She said, "but thank you for wonderful gifts." Genuinely means that. Most of the treasures he gave are good for cultivation. She cannot use them though as her physique is different.
Filling a bitter taste on his mouth due to the rejection, "Why not? I can give you more." He said not showing any hint of his sadness.
"I never want to marry, Wei Jiayi." She affirmed. Though his line of sight, he notices her slowly moving to stand in front of him, so he immediately closes his eyes, showing his sincerity and willingness to compromise.
