Chapter 321 Giving Up Love
Chapter 321 Giving Up Love
Princess Tianning imitated him and said, "I don't want you to love me either. I just want you to marry me, okay? As long as you marry me, I promise not to bother you or pester you. You will remain the same as before, and we will let nature take its course. I will never force you to love me..."
"Tianning, I don't understand you... I really don't understand you..." Kang Xiaorong was almost driven crazy by Tianning. Princess Tianning's crazy behavior was beyond his comprehension.
"If you meet someone you love deeply, you will understand. Brother Xiaorong, I really love you... As long as I can be your wife, I will die without regrets." Princess Tianning tightly grasped Kang Xiaorong's arm, "Since our marriage has been decided, why can't you face reality? Why do you have to reject me?... If you try to accept me, maybe you will find that you don't hate me that much?... Why don't you even give me a chance?"
Princess Tianning was already in tears when she said this. She had been trying hard to hold back her tears in front of Kang Xiaorong these past few days, because she wanted Kang Xiaorong to believe how happily she was looking forward to marrying him.
She didn't want him to know her bitterness and pain, her anxiety and despair.
But at this moment, Princess Tianning could no longer bear it. When she heard Kang Xiaorong clearly admit that the person he loved was Huarong and not herself, and when Kang Xiaorong hugged his head and begged her not to love him, Princess Tianning's last barrier to protect herself shattered, and tears flowed wildly on her beautiful face.
"Brother Xiaorong, I don't want to force you, I really don't want to force you, I just love you very much... I love you more than you can imagine, I can't live without you, I don't ask for much, I just want to be your wife... Your heart is still yours, your heart can be for others, I only beg you... Please don't let me marry someone else, I want to stay by your side all my life... Please, Brother Xiaorong, give me this chance, I don't care if you hurt me, I just want to stay by your side forever..."
Princess Tianning said everything she wanted to say in one breath, as if she was afraid of being rejected by Kang Xiaorong.
Kang Xiaorong couldn't find any chance to interrupt and just felt his head hurting more and more.
It was hard to imagine that the arrogant Princess Tianning, the proud daughter of heaven who could call the wind and rain, would show such a pitiful expression in front of him and make such a huge concession to him... She even stopped asking for love and only asked for a body, an identity, and a position that would allow her to stay with him for the rest of her life.
"Brother Xiaorong, I must marry you... I can't marry anyone else... Brother Xiaorong, please marry me, please marry me..."
Princess Tianning had already cut off her retreat route and could not imagine that her husband would be anyone other than Kang Xiaorong.
"Tianning, you will regret it... one day you will regret it..." Kang Xiaorong's eyes gradually became sore.
If he had not made an engagement with the Xi family, after hearing Princess Tianning's words and feeling her firm determination, he would have opened his heart to accept her. However, because he already had an engagement and had already shouldered the fate of giving happiness to another woman, he could not throw away his fateful responsibilities, nor could he betray his original vows.
Princess Tianning was like a sword placed across his neck by the Queen Mother. He was unwilling to succumb to the threat of power, which made him turn a blind eye to Princess Tianning's feelings and pleadings time and time again, and only feel infinite disgust at the power-based nature of this marriage.
"Brother Xiaorong, I won't regret it, I absolutely won't regret it..." Princess Tianning raised her head and met Kang Xiaorong's gaze. She used her penetrating eyes to tell Kang Xiaorong her realization. Since she dared to choose him, she had already chosen without regrets.
"Tian Ning..." Kang Xiaorong gritted his teeth, not daring to look directly at Princess Tian Ning. Compared with Princess Tian Ning's clear eyes, his eyes were filled with turbid shadows. He knew that he had lost, lost to Princess Tian Ning's determination and courage...
If he was as brave as Princess Tianning, and had the determination to give up everything to stay with his beloved forever, then perhaps... he would have already become a happy couple with Huarong.
At this moment, there was a slight "creaking" sound from the door.
Yuemao, who had been standing outside the door, boldly pushed the door open and walked in without anyone's permission.
As Princess Tianning's personal maid, Yuemao should follow Princess Tianning wherever she goes. Although she knew how inappropriate it was for her to be here, and she knew she had no right to speak, but...
After hearing the conversation between Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong, she could no longer remain silent.
If there was no ancient marriage contract and no ties set by their fathers, would Kang Xiaorong really fall in love with Huarong?
Yuemao has been struggling with this problem for the past few days.
Finally, she found the answer, and the answer was just one word - no.
If there was no engagement, Kang Xiaorong would not fall in love with Huarong. Kang Xiaorong and Huarong just became a couple naturally under the expectation of their parents. It seems that their birth and meeting were determined by fate to fall in love with each other.
Such a fate is unfair to Princess Tianning...
Yuemao thought for a long time, and one fact kept lingering in her mind: If Kang Xiaorong really loved Huarong, how could he not even know who he loved? Why didn't he notice that Huarong had become Yuemao? There was only one answer: he didn't love Huarong, but just a name called Huarong and a marriage contract made in her name.
It's time...it's time to let go...let go of that shallow relationship, that meaningless fate.
Seeing Yuemao pushing the door and walking in, Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong both looked at her in surprise.
Yuemao lowered her head and said softly, "Major General, actually...actually...my sister doesn't love you at all."
"What?" Yuemao said shockingly, and Kang Xiaorong and Princess Tianning were both stunned.
Yuemao had thought it through very clearly when she was outside the door just now. She was not afraid at all and continued softly, "If it weren't for the engagement, my sister wouldn't like you at all. She doesn't love you at all and has no feelings for you at all. Please... please... don't use her as an excuse for your dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother."
At this point, Yuemao suddenly raised her head. As if to prove that she was responsible for what she had just said, her eyes were very firm.
"Excuse? Excuse?" Kang Xiaorong repeated this ridiculous word and laughed crazily. The laughter gradually became sharp and piercing, and finally turned into a violent coughing, which made him unable to straighten his back.
"Brother Xiaorong, what's wrong with you? Is it serious?" Princess Tianning hurriedly supported Kang Xiaorong.
Yuemao couldn't stop talking. She was afraid that Princess Tianning would kick her out of the room the next second, so she seized the last moment and shouted, "Major General, you don't love her at all. You just don't want to be manipulated by the general and the queen mother. Sister is not an excuse for your rebellion, and sister is not a shield for your feelings! Major General, let her go and stop saying you love her!"
"Enough, enough!" Kang Xiaorong's roar drowned out Yuemao's words. He grabbed Princess Tianning's shoulders with a force that almost crushed them, and questioned her over and over again, "Did you force her to say that? Did you force her to say that?"
Princess Tianning, who was regarded as a criminal by Kang Xiaorong, suddenly panicked and kept saying, "It's not...it's not me..."
Yuemao also explained for Princess Tianning: "It's not her, General. The princess didn't force me at all. I told the truth."
"Impossible, impossible..." Kang Xiaorong held Princess Tianning tighter, as if he was holding an irreconcilable enemy, "You must have controlled her with drugs and forced her to say these words to me. You must have forced her. You only use these despicable tricks. I should have known... I should have known that you have always been so cruel and merciless, and would do anything to achieve your goals..."
"It's not me, Brother Xiaorong, it's really not me, I didn't do anything..." Princess Tianning's voice trembled slightly.
Kang Xiaorong could no longer listen to anything. He did not believe that Yuemao would say what she had just said to him. If she had not been forced by someone, the introverted and weak Yuemao would never have said such cruel words.
"Young General, let the princess go. It has nothing to do with her." Yue Mao saw that Princess Tianning's shoulders were almost crushed by Kang Xiaorong, and she couldn't help but rush forward to protect the princess.
"It's her, it must be her..." Kang Xiaorong grabbed Princess Tianning tightly like a madman, not letting go.
At this moment, Yuemao suddenly raised her right hand high, and then with a "slap" sound, a fierce slap landed on Kang Xiaorong's left cheek. The force was so great that Kang Xiaorong's neck was dislocated.
Kang Xiaorong only heard a buzzing sound in his ears and had no idea what was going on. After being stunned for several seconds, he felt a burning pain on his left cheek, as if it was being burned by fire.
"Yue Mao?..." Princess Tianning was stunned. She couldn't believe that Yue Mao, who usually didn't even dare to hit a mosquito, dared to hit Kang Xiaorong in front of her. This slap made Kang Xiaorong's face swollen, and the whole world stopped.
Yuemao felt a sharp pain in her palm, like a needle prick. She clenched her palm and slowly dropped her hand to her side.
By this time, Kang Xiaorong had recovered from his shock. He covered his swollen left face, looked up at Yuemao and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
Yuemao said, "I slapped Huarong in the face to wake you up... Major General, listen carefully. Huarong doesn't love you. She doesn't love you at all. How many times do you need me to tell you? No one forced me to do this. I just wanted to tell you the truth... All along, Huarong was only bound by the engagement and had to be with you. She doesn't love you at all!"
