"Please take a seat, Third Brother."
King Qian was very uncomfortable with Bai Chen's politeness. In his memory, Pang Ya was not smart, even though she seemed to have become smarter after inheriting the Dan King's legacy.
But in his eyes, she is just a little smarter than before.
In his opinion, such a woman is the easiest to control.
But after seeing it today, King Qian felt a little uneasy. He always felt that Pang Ya had changed and had become a Pang Ya that he did not recognize.
It's only been three years, how come there have been such big changes
The two sat opposite each other, and Bai Chen spoke first, "Third brother, please have some tea."
Then, he listened attentively to see what he would talk about.
Did he still think that there had ever been any affection between the two of them
King Qian picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide his gloomy expression. Then he asked seriously, "Are you, really, having health problems?"
"Yes! It was all forced upon me by Sister Dan Wang." Bai Chen pushed all the responsibility onto Sister Dan Wang, who was already an ancient person.
"What about now? Is she still pushing you hard?" King Qian stared at Bai Chen's bright and attractive face with full concern.
But I was worried in my heart.
There is no sign of illness on this face, how could she be infertile
It must be just an excuse made up by my father because he doesn't want me to marry a future top alchemist.
But he had no way to deal with his father's decision because he had no strength or power at the moment.
Can only be bullied!
"I feel better now. I can rest for an hour a day, and my headache is not so severe.
My sister is actually a very kind woman. She was just too anxious, so that's why she behaved like this. I understand her very well.
She probably knows that she has gone a little too far, so she has been quite accommodating recently.
My sister said that as soon as I figured out a way to deal with the mediocre people, she would leave immediately. Really, my sister is a really good person. "
King Qian took a deep breath and felt that the more he talked to Pang Ya, the more off-topic he became. He was not here to talk to her about his sister, the King of Dan.
But because of Bai Chen's nagging, he felt that Pang Ya was still the same Pang Ya as before.
"Even if you are ill, I will not dislike you! Why should we let our father know about this?" Prince Qian quickly brought the subject to the point.
In King Qian's opinion, Pang Ya has always liked him.
Perhaps if we put it this way, all the women in the world will be fascinated by him, he is just that confident.
As long as he is willing, he can handle any kind of woman, but that is not his ambition.
In his opinion, what he said to Pang Ya was just sweet talk.
Fatty should be touched.
Indeed, Bai Chen also seemed a little moved, "Really? I always thought that Third Brother hated me the most, always telling me to get lost.
My self-esteem was actually hurt a lot.”
When Bai Chen said this, he looked particularly sad. He lowered his head and rubbed his sleeves, as if he was still the fat girl before.
"How can I hate you?"
King Qian was very moved, and even moved his body, as if he wanted to wipe Bai Chen's tears, and his eyes became particularly gentle.
“When I was little, I had a bit of a weird temper, I’m sorry!
When I grew up, I realized that I liked you.
At that time, although you were fat, you were actually very cute, really!"
Bai Chen: ... I really want to vomit in his face.
"Really? But what's the point of saying this now
I have become like this, and you have become my third brother.
The 'beautiful bride' you are about to marry is Miss Qiao Xiang." Bai Chen also followed suit.
I don't understand what he is trying to do. He is saying sweet words to me at this time. Is he trying to have a forbidden love affair
But Bai Chen was wrong. What he wanted to play was the deep love between brother and sister.
Prince Qian tried hard to ignore the words "beautiful bride" and choked up a little, "Well, from now on, we will be good brothers and sisters, and Third Brother will definitely protect you.
After all, our relationship is different. Although we cannot be husband and wife, I will still be responsible for you to the end."
Bai Chen: ...
Seeing Bai Chen was very 'touched', King Qian continued, "You, don't be blinded by appearances."
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Bai Chen looked a little silly, as if King Qian's words were too profound and he couldn't understand them.
"Father is being nice to you now, but he is not really being nice to you. Since ancient times, who among the emperors was not heartless and unrighteous
He is being nice to you now, but he is just using you." King Qian patiently taught Bai Chen about interpersonal relationships in a persuasive tone.
“Or other brothers and sisters will be nice to you, so you can’t trust them.
They might just want to take advantage of you, do you understand
You just need to trust me, I will always stand in front of you and protect you from the wind and rain."
Bai Chen: ... I really couldn't hold it anymore, I really wanted to vomit all over his body.
It looks quite dramatic, doesn't it
"So, what about you? You're being nice to me, are you trying to take advantage of me?"
King Qian: "... I just want to protect you. You can only trust me."
Bai Chen seemed a little conflicted, "My father is very good to me. Not only did he grant me the status of a princess, he also gave me a luxurious mansion.
There are also countless wealth, which cannot be spent even if you spend several lifetimes.
A few days ago, the prince also gave me an eighth-level magic crystal as a gift!
Sister Forty-Eight also gave me a set of head ornaments inlaid with jewels.
Sister Sixty-fifth also sent gifts.
Oh, it turns out that they didn't really want to be nice to me! It turns out that they just wanted to use me.
I'm going to return the things to them tomorrow.
I will explain everything to them in detail. Third brother said that we should not be taken advantage of by others. This point must be made clear.
Don't worry, I will become smarter in the future. I don't want to be used at all. I just want to focus on refining pills."
King Qian held his forehead and said, "... Don't give it back to them. Just be clear about it in your heart, don't say it out loud!"
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Chen looked like a good boy, and then looked at him with a loving expression, as if he trusted him 100%.
Seeing that he had almost played the sympathy card, King Qian changed his approach and began to perform a sad drama.
"Until now, I still haven't figured out what my father meant.
Why did he ask me to marry Qi Xiang again
How could he do this to me
I am his son too!
If my father dislikes me so much, why didn't he strangle me to death on the day I was born?"
King Qian became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and in the end he gritted his teeth and complained to Bai Chen.
"I have always followed the rules over the years, so how could I be an eyesore to him
I did whatever he told me to do. I had no contact with officials, no contact with aristocratic families, and I didn't even have a single friend. I stayed in the prince's mansion every day, eating and waiting to die like a useless person.
What else does he want from me
He also insisted that I marry a woman like that.
He just can't bear to see me doing well. He can't bear to see you and I being a loving and happy couple in the future.
