Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 743 - 741

Chapter 743: 741

Du Yijin was stunned by the words of Shangguan Ruixi. Wait, this wasn’t just about family background and reputation!

"Crown Prince, but I have never thought of marrying you!" Du Yijin had the wisdom to know who Shangguan Ruixi was? There were few people in this world who had a more noble status than him! The people around him were either royal relatives or nobles. As for being his Crown Princess, Du Yijin believed that she didn’t have the ability or skill to be a good one.

Shangguan Ruixi got angry again when he heard this: "Then think about it now! Think hard!"

Think about a fart! Du Yijin wanted to swear.

This man looked gentle and elegant, but he had a bad temper and was domineering, just like a beast in human form! Who would dare to marry him!

"I’ve thought about it and I don’t want to be your Crown Princess," Du Yijin said stubbornly.

"Think again!"

Du Yijin: "..."

This was someone who would not stop until he heard the answer he wanted!

Xiao’er stroked her chin: "I didn’t expect the prince to have such a CEO-like style."

Shangguan Xuanyi: What kind of ghost is a bossy CEO?

Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t stand the look of admiration on Xiao’er’s face for Shangguan Ruixi anymore. If he continued to look, he would die of jealousy!

He led Xiao’er to the kitchen: "Let’s make something to eat, I’m hungry!"

"You go! I still want to watch!" Xiao’er pulled her hand back and waved him off.

Shangguan Xuanyi, who didn’t even receive a glance from Xiao’er, threatened: "Are we cooking together or should I eat you?"

As soon as Xiao’er heard his tone, she immediately turned around: "Cook, cook! I’m hungry too!"

Xiao’er reluctantly looked back: "What a pity, I wonder what the outcome will be, there’s no preview of the next episode!"

"No matter how many times I think, I don’t want to be your Crown Princess!" Du Yijin turned her head away and boldly shouted at Shangguan Ruixi.

"Look into my eyes and say that again!" Shangguan Ruixi looked at the fearless woman in front of him and commanded angrily.

"I don’t want to be your Crown Princess, I don’t want to be your Crown Princess, I don’t want to be..." Du Yijin defiantly repeated, looking directly at Shangguan Ruixi.

Shangguan Ruixi violently silenced Du Yijin’s constantly moving lips with his mouth.

"Um..." Du Yijin struggled fiercely, beating Shangguan Ruixi’s back with her hands and trying to step on his feet.

Shangguan Ruixi caught Du Yijin’s hands and firmly fixed them above her head against the wall, pinning her whole body to prevent her from struggling. The sweet taste of blood began to permeate their mouths, but Shangguan Ruixi didn’t stop.

He had to teach this ungrateful woman a severe lesson!

It wasn’t until Shangguan Ruixi tasted the salty tears that he let go of Du Yijin.

Du Yijin stopped struggling, her face showed an indifferent attitude towards death. Her eyes were tightly shut and tears continued to flow.

"I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional, your words made me too angry... I couldn’t control myself. Don’t cry, I was wrong, it won’t happen again, okay?" Shangguan Ruixi panicked. He took out a handkerchief to wipe Du Yijin’s tears. He suddenly began to hate himself, wasn’t what he had done just now the same as what Gu Honggen, that coward, would do?!

Du Yijin slapped his hand away. Her eyes flashed with disgust and her voice was full of sarcasm: "Has the prince had enough fun? Can I go now?"

Shangguan Ruixi’s heart ached hearing these words, a feeling of powerlessness surged: "I was not playing, I was serious, I just couldn’t help it!"

Without waiting for his explanation, Du Yijin pushed him away and walked straight to the alley.

"Miss Du, I will not give up. I will definitely marry you as my Crown Princess in this lifetime!"

Du Yijin did not look back; she walked even faster.

What if Shangguan Ruixi isn’t a fool nor joking? He doesn’t care about her will at all! Moreover, marriage is not up to him! Above him, there are Prince An and Princess An, and even if they don’t care, there is also the Empress Dowager, right?

Du Yijin believed that she couldn’t exceed the power of the elders.

So, Du Yijin never actually believed that she would marry him, not even once!

Seeing this, Shangguan Ruixi could only follow her out.

As he watched the stubborn girl walking ahead of him, he didn’t know what to do next.

How could he convince her to willingly marry him?

They were about to reach the end of the alley, and there were many people on the street. He hadn’t yet received her pledge to marry him! If he missed this opportunity and she ended up getting engaged to someone else, what could he do then?

Although he could resort to a forced marriage, his mother would definitely not approve of Du Yijin. If his mother imposed strict rules on Du Yijin after the marriage, Du Yijin would definitely not have an easy life.A

His mother had once told him about the horrible rules the Empress Dowager had set upon the Empress. He also thought those rules were inhumane!

He wanted her to marry him to live a better life!

Shangguan Ruixi stepped forward, blocking Du Yijin’s way.

Du Yijin looked at him cautiously and instinctively took a couple of steps back.

Shangguan Ruixi forced a smile. That wary, rape-fearing gaze was genuinely hurtful!

Suppressing his bitterness, he began, "Miss Du, what do I have to do to make you agree to marry me?"

What exactly does he find attractive about me? Can’t I change it? Du Yijin wailed silently in response to his remark.

"Speak out! If there is anything you are not satisfied with about me, can I change it?"

Du Yijin was silent. I want to change as well!

Then, she saw Shangguan Ruixi’s sincere face, filled with anticipation. She was slightly moved, this was probably the first time he was humbling himself like this!

However, the chasm between them was insurmountable. Emboldened, she challenged, "If you want me to marry you, you must guarantee that in this life, I will be your only wife. No concubines, no mistresses, no maidservants! Even if I am unable to bear you a son or daughter, you can only have me! The Empress Dowager, Prince An and Princess An must all willingly accept me as your Crown Princess!"

She didn’t believe he could accept such stern conditions!

"Okay!" Shangguan Ruixi agreed immediately without thinking.

Du Yijin was dumbfounded. "Did you even hear what I said?"

He agreed so readily? Is he not normal? She can’t marry someone who’s not normal after all!

"I heard you clearly... you said..." Shangguan Ruixi repeated her words: "Rest assured! From now on, I’ll only have you! Otherwise, I won’t have a peaceful life! You just wait to marry me!"

Du Yijin: "..."

Seeing that Du Yijin did not respond, Shangguan Ruixi continued, "Give me half a year!"

Half a year? Maybe he could find a reason for the elders to accept him in half a year! Upon hearing that, Du Yijin hurriedly said, "Half a year is too long! Ten days will do!"

"Ten days?! You clearly don’t want to marry me and are putting me in a difficult situation on purpose!" Shangguan Ruixi was furious!
