Chapter 213 I'll Marry You?
He suppressed his laughter and said in a resentful tone, as if he had been taken advantage of, "Now that you've taken advantage of me, you want to just walk away. Of course, you'll find an excuse to say you forgot about it. Tell me, isn't that reasonable? Hmm..."
"This..." Long Chuqing was speechless for a moment and fell into a brief silence.
She began to carefully recall what had happened last night. She had indeed come twice, but she had no recollection of what happened after she entered the room, which was also true.
Xiao Han wouldn't just make things up, would he? Could it be that I really did something to him?
So, she said somewhat awkwardly, "I...I really can't remember what happened last night, so...what do you want?"
After a moment's thought, she felt that if she had really done something out of line to him, she couldn't let him down no matter what.
Then he said, "How about this, I'll pay you with silver or gold?"
Xiao Han's face darkened upon hearing her words. He frowned, glared angrily at Long Chuqing, and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"You, Long Chuqing... How dare you say that? What do you take me for? A male prostitute in a brothel? You actually think you can get rid of me with money? Should I thank you for your patronage and the reward?!"
Faced with Xiao Han's resentment, Long Chuqing thought to herself, "Oh no, it seems this guy is really angry. He even used the title 'This King' to address her. He would never have used such a respectful title for her before."
She reached up and rubbed her cheek, giving an embarrassed smile. "Hehe... I was just joking with you, just kidding, please don't take it seriously!"
"Hmm... since giving money isn't appropriate, then what would satisfy you?"
She racked her brains and thought about it again. Didn't Xiao Han just say that he wanted her to take responsibility for this?
So she tentatively asked, "How about... how about I marry you?"
Upon hearing her audacious remarks, Xiao Han almost burst out laughing.
I never expected to hear someone say they wanted to marry him. Only Chu Qing would dare to say that to him.
He looked at her helplessly, pondering how to respond to her shocking words.
Just when he thought Long Chuqing had finished expressing her thoughts, she parted her lips again and said slowly, "Well... I've been thinking about it carefully. I don't own a house or a car right now, and I don't have much savings. I'm afraid I can't marry you for the time being. Maybe we should just forget about it!"
"However, look at me, I'm actually quite good-looking. I don't think you're at a disadvantage, so let's call it even!"
As she spoke, she reached out to pry Xiao Han's hands off her, trying to slip away.
However, Xiao Han grabbed her wrist, suppressing his laughter, and stared at her with a face full of curiosity.
He couldn't help but wonder: Just how many strange and wonderful ideas does Chu Qing have in her little head? She always manages to say some surprising things.
He managed to suppress the upward curve of his lips, then quickly put on an extremely unwilling expression.
“No, this matter can’t be settled so easily.” Xiao Han pretended to think for a moment, and then continued, “How about this? Since you’ve slept here for two nights, I’ll sleep at your place tonight and tomorrow night. Only in this way can we truly call it even.”
Long Chuqing's eyes widened instantly, and she glared at him with a suspicious and cold look.
Then, in an annoyed tone, she said, "Who does accounting like you? Let go of my hand right now, and I'll have a good talk with you."
Xiao Han slowly released her wrist, and Long Chuqing took the opportunity to struggle free and quickly sit up.
She quickly rolled out of bed, put on her shoes, grabbed the cloak placed to the side, and the whole sequence of movements was fluid and graceful.
Then she turned around and glared at Xiao Han on the bed: "You scoundrel..." After saying that, she turned and walked out.
Xiao Han leaned against the bed, propping his head up with his hand, and looked at Long Chuqing's flustered appearance with a helpless yet indulgent smile.
He said slowly, "Go through the door or the window? Be careful not to get discovered again."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud thud was heard, and Long Chu collapsed to the ground not far away.
He was startled and quickly got up to run over to check on her: "Chu Qing, are you alright!"
At that moment, Long Chuqing felt a wave of dizziness: "I, I feel so dizzy... ah."
It's currently the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), which is still midnight.
Although the chill on Long Chuqing's body had disappeared, her body had not yet fully recovered.
"Feeling dizzy?" Xiao Han carried her back to bed and covered her with the blanket. "Since you're already here, why don't you sleep here for now?"
After lying down and resting with his eyes closed for a while, Long Chuqing's dizziness gradually subsided.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Han beside her. He was propping his head up with his hand, looking at her with concern.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine now, don't look at me, go to sleep!"
A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Han's lips as he softly replied, "Okay."
Long Chuqing gently turned over, her body facing away from Xiao Han, lying quietly with her face turned outwards.
It was late at night, and the chill in the air had not yet dissipated.
After leaving Xiao Han's warm embrace, Long Chuqing soon felt her body temperature gradually drop again.
She instinctively hugged her arms tightly, gently rubbing and kneading them, trying to increase her warmth through this action.
However, as time ticked by, the chill showed no signs of abating; in fact, she felt even colder, as the surrounding cold began to gather around her invisibly.
She frowned, hesitated for a moment, then carefully turned over and quietly moved closer to Xiao Han.
It must be said that when she got close to Xiao Han, she did feel a distinct warmth.
So, she couldn't help but move a little closer to him, wanting to get more warmth.
Just then, Xiao Han, who had already fallen asleep, slowly woke up due to the slight movements made by Long Chuqing. He vaguely felt the person next to him moving closer.
In his dazed state, he instinctively turned over and then naturally reached out to pull her into his arms.
Long Chuqing only wanted to move closer to warm up, but she accidentally woke him up.
When Xiao Han pulled her tightly into his arms, her first reaction was to try to break free, but his embrace was just too warm, giving her an incredibly comforting feeling that she couldn't resist.
She was reluctant to leave, but in the end she gave up the idea of struggling and nestled obediently in Xiao Han's arms, enjoying the warmth and peace.
"Why is your body so cold again?" Xiao Han's gentle voice came from above, like a spring breeze brushing past Long Chuqing's ears.
Long Chuqing bit her lip lightly, and after thinking for a moment, slowly said, "This time, don't say that I took advantage of you."
