It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

"I don't know." Su Wanti's eyes widened and she shook her head.

Seeing that her eyes were blank and she didn't seem to be lying, Shang Xingjian said, "After we left Shanyan Village, people from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion sneaked into the village and asked for information about your father and his family."

Su Wanti was surprised. She frowned and thought for a moment, then reached to her waist and took out a small sachet.

She opened the ribbon at the mouth of the bag, reached her fingers in, and pulled out a chain woven with red silk thread.

The chain was mixed with gold threads and decorated with several small and exquisite gold pendants.

However, both the gold wire and the gold pendant are dark in color, making this exquisite chain look very old and without any maintenance.

Su Wanti held the chain in her hand and presented it to Shang Xingjian, saying, "This is something my father left behind before he left. He didn't tell me where this chain came from."

"I learned from Old Man Su that he picked up my father from a small alley in Luzhou. He was about six or seven years old at the time. He was wearing luxurious clothes and exquisite accessories. I thought that my father might not be a child from an ordinary family."

"After my father disappeared, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find any clues. It was a bit strange. How could a living person disappear out of thin air? So, I thought about coming to the An family to deliver medicine. First, I could get a reward, and second, I hoped to use the An family's influence in Luzhou to open a medicine store and solve the livelihood problem of my family. Moreover, I actually had another idea..."

"The An family is a prominent family, and many of their children have served as officials in the court. The people in the mansion are naturally knowledgeable. So I thought of showing the things my father left behind to Madam An to see if she has any impression of this chain. I want to find out information about my father's true identity."

Shang Xingjian took the chain and looked at it carefully. It was beautifully made and the pendant was exquisite. It was indeed not an ordinary item.

If we give it to his secret guards to investigate, they should be able to find out the origin of the chain quickly.

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?" Shang Xingjian wanted to put the chain away and give it to Chang Liu to check later.

Su Wanti was quick and snatched the chain directly and put it in her arms.

If the chain was given to Shang Xingjian and he were to investigate, he would have to start from Baohuazhai, the source of the pendant, and would have to go through a long detour to find the An family.

But after looking at Madam An's reaction, she felt that the chain should be shown to Madam An first.

Maybe Mrs. An has seen her father and recognizes this chain, and can provide her with useful information about her father's true identity.

This way the search will be faster.

Su Wanti put away the chain and said coldly: "Why should I tell you about my family's affairs? Besides, you didn't tell me about your affairs!"

Shang Xingjian frowned and looked at her.

Su Wanti said: "The young master is of noble status, far superior to Madam An, but he never mentioned this to me."

Shang Xingjian spread his hands and said, "You haven't asked either?"

Su Wanti was slightly stunned. She remembered that when she first met Shang Xingjian, he was pure-minded, gentle as jade, and would blush occasionally. But now he seemed like a different person, as if he had been tainted with a bit of roguery from somewhere.

While she was in a trance, the man's breath was getting closer and closer, and the sharp breath wrapped her tightly.

Su Wanti raised her eyes and met a pair of dark eyes.

The man's eyes curved, full of smiles.

Beneath that smile was a strong desire for possession, as if an ignorant child had possessed a beloved thing for the first time.

Desire gave rise to countless tentacles, which pounced towards Su Wanti with bared fangs and claws.

Su Wanti's heart trembled, and she put her hand on his chest to prevent him from getting any closer.

Shang Xingjian chuckled, and held her hand with his warm palm, pinching her fingers and rubbing them.

He leaned over, and his human-shaped shadow completely covered the petite woman.

"If you knew my true identity, would you agree to marry me?" He looked at her with burning eyes.

Su Wanti's eyes grew colder, "I've said before that I will never marry in this life, even if it's to a noble prince."

Shang Xingjian felt a lump in his chest.

For the first time, he began to doubt himself. Was it because he wasn't handsome enough, or wasn't tall and strong enough, or wasn't knowledgeable enough, or was there something about him that made him unpopular?

She had rejected his proposal before when his identity was not revealed. Now that she knew she was of noble status, she still rejected him without a second thought?

Does she hate herself? Does she dislike herself?

No, it was impossible, if she hated herself, she would not have sacrificed her virginity to heal him.

Shang Xingjian's mind was in a mess and his anger was rising.

The woman standing so close to him had cold eyes and brows, as if last night’s whispers, moans, and passionate tenderness were all his fantasies.

His palm went from warm to scorching hot. The woman couldn't pull away and said in a trembling voice, "Let me go."

Shang Xingjian curled his lips, "What if I don't let you go? What if I insist on marrying you?"

"Then I will poison you and cause your hidden illness to relapse!" The woman glared at her and threatened with gritted teeth.

Shang Xingjian's eyes became deeper and deeper, like a giant beast staring at its prey, with a sharp and dangerous breath, approaching the prey inch by inch.

Su Wanti was forced to step back until her waist hit the edge of the mahogany desk. The hard edge of the table hit her waist, and she couldn't help but let out a light groan.

The man in front of her didn't care much about her threat. He noticed her discomfort, released her hand with his big hand, and stroked her slender waist backwards, separating her from the desk.

His body pressed against...

Hard as iron, powerful as a dragon of fire...

"You just felt it and enjoyed it last night, and today you are going to destroy it. Are you willing to do that?"

He lowered his head and kissed the woman's soft earlobe. His voice was as mellow as fine wine, with an intoxicating scent.

"I told you that I won't do anything to you if you don't want to. If you don't want to marry me, I won't force you."

[Tsk, a man's words are lies. Don't listen to what he says, look at what he does.] The system said angrily.

Su Wanti's eyes turned red, her breathing became unstable, and she reached out to push him, "Then let me go..."

The man restrained her restless hands and whispered in a gloomy and seductive voice, "I'll give you a choice. Do you want to go to the bed or stay here... If you don't want to be here, I won't do it here..."

[Tsk, the right to explain is in his hands. He can say anything to eat you!] The system complained.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll assume that you are willing to stay here..."

He kissed the woman's cherry lips.

Bite, suck...
