Though still confused with Wei Jiayi"s action, Gao Lan Mei still smiled fondly at him, then answered truthfully, "Wives need to stay at home to serve their husband. A wife cannot also deny if the husband marries another." She values her freedom so much to marry. Aside from that, how long will Wei Jiayi play before he became bored at her?"I will not marry another." Wei Jiayi said his brows wrinkled, eyes still close, "I will make an oath on it." He said firmly. Gao Lan Mei reaches her fingers to his brows to remove his frown it.
This caused him to grin silly. Good thing his eyes are still close, so he was not able to see her ears turning red. "What"s funny?" she said, annoyed with him. His grin disappeared immediately then shake his head in denial. Gao Lan Mei is sure that if his eyes are open, she will see the funny glint on them.
Shaking her head, swallowing a little to remove the dryness of her throat, "No need for the oath." She does not want him to swear on something he may not keep. "I do not want you to do that. Anyway, despite what I want the decree was already accepted by my family." Her voice sounded tired and sad like giving up.
Wei Jiayi prefers her challenging him or bantering with him with anger like the strong woman she is. He does not like her being weak and sounding so helpless. The guilt creeping to his being, "Did I do this?" Then what other course of action can he do?
"I... " he does not know what to say. He wants to apologize, but for what? For him bothering her despite him knowing that she wanted to be free so much? Regardless he cannot give her the freedom that she clearly wants from him. That is easy to fix if she is fine with it.
"Would you like to look?" She asked suddenly, which he nodded eagerly after hearing, then she added, "Looking should be fine, I guess."
Giggling to his action, "Open your eyes then," she said softly, which he did so.
The woman"s face is enchanting to the others and will captivate any normal man"s interest, for Wei Jiayi though, he can only stare not sure how to react.
The face she is wearing is owned by Li Huan, if not for the red eyes, it would be hard to distinguish the difference. It looks like real skin so to check he reach out to touch the face, but was avoided by Gao Lan Mei.
He can also smell a strong stench of blood from it. Then doing a quick glance on the big lump in the middle of the bed, which the maid seems like guarding. The smell of iron coming from it is strong too.
Currently Wei Jiayi have a strong hunch that the maid is Feng Ji. Still not sure as the sparrow"s human form is of a five-year-old child. The maid seems to be around fifteen or so.
Staring at Gao Lan Mei"s disguise, wanting to touch the face but refrained because of his punishment, "Did you carve that from her?" He asked mouth tightened, referring to the skin mask she is wearing, "You are staying here since earlier." He then confirmed flatly.
Nodding, then she did a twirl showing off her dress, it is bright red and embroidered with gold and white flowers. Gao Lan Mei find the dress pretty, "She did not feel any pain, I promise. Do you like it?" Asking like she only speaking about food.
