Lin Chujiu never thought that Xiao Tianyao would ask her why she was unhappy?
When did Xiao Tianyao care whether she was happy or not?
Since marrying Xiao Tianyao, was there less time she was unhappy? But she has never seen Xiao Tianyao care about her mood before. What happened this time?
Feeling guilty? Ashamed? Seeing that she almost died of poisoning, so he wanted to pay more attention and seek spiritual comfort?
Haha… Lin Chujiu just wanted to sneer.
Did Xiao Tianyao think that if he said a few more comforting words and asked for “forgiveness” for all that happened, he could assume that nothing happened?
She was not in a good mood to fulfill Xiao Tianyao’s wish today.
Lin Chujiu didn’t rush to answer Xiao Tianyao’s question but looked at him with determination. She didn’t speak until she saw Xiao Tianyao look confused: “Wangye, what exactly am I in your heart?”
Lin Chujiu didn’t directly answer Xiao Tianyao’s question but instead asked a question.
This rhetorical question made Xiao Tianyao immediately alert. Xiao Tianyao refused to answer Lin Chujiu’s question: “Answer benwang’s question first.” Intuition told him that Lin Chujiu’s question was not simple.
“My question is very important. If wangye doesn’t answer, I can’t answer you.” If her status in Xiao Tianyao’s heart was different as she thought, she will also give Xiao Tianyao a different answer.
If Xiao Tianyao will say that she was the same as Liu Bai and Su Cha, then… she would give up and would not be angry with Xiao Tianyao because of this.
Xiao Tianyao thought of her as his handyman. What qualifications does she have to be angry with Xiao Tianyao?
But if Xiao Tianyao thought of her as his wife in his heart, and as a person who will spend his whole life together, then… she will have to settle accounts with Xiao Tianyao.
Since he treated her as a wife, he must first treat her as a woman, don’t treat her as a superman. Does he really think she won’t die?
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao for a moment, waiting for his answer. For a safety measure, Xiao Tianyao didn’t directly answer Lin Chujiu’s question, but carefully pondered for a moment, then cautiously said: “You are the wife officially wed to benwang.”
This answer should satisfy Lin Chujiu, right?
Xiao Tianyao was not sure, but he didn’t show it on his face. Anyway, Lin Chujiu couldn’t see it at all.
“The wife officially wed?” Lin Chujiu chewed these words carefully. She had to say that Xiao Tianyao’s answer was very speculative. It seemed that he gave a positive answer, but it was just an objective statement of the facts without personal feelings.
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao with a half-smile, “So, wangye treats me as his wife?” Since she wanted to settle accounts with Xiao Tianyao, how could Lin Chujiu tolerate Xiao Tianyao’s ambiguous answer?
“You are benwang’s wife.” Why should he repeat it again and again?
“It turns out that wangye knew that I am your wife. I thought wangye didn’t know.” Lin Chujiu said with a mocking expression on her face. When Xiao Tianyao heard those words, his face darkened, but before Xiao Tianyao could speak, Lin Chujiu said: “Wangye, you also know that I am your wife, not your subordinate, nor your soldier. Can I ask you to treat me as your wife, not your subordinate?”
Seeing Xiao Tianyao’s disapproval on his face, Lin Chujiu was not angry but continued: “Wangye, I am not Liu Bai who is strong in martial arts, nor a good businessman like Su Cha, nor a shrewd and capable person like Mo Qingfeng. I am just a woman. A woman who doesn’t know martial arts and doesn’t even have the ability to protect herself. Just like other women, I can’t be more ordinary.”
“Wangye, I really don’t understand. What gives you the confidence to trust me so much that you would entrust the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the army to me? Put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on my shoulders? Aren’t you afraid of crushing me and driving me crazy?”
Thanks for reading, likes, and comments. ^.^
No spoilers, please!
😏 Cant wait for XTY answer but kind of feeling it’ll not positive.. 😏😏🍿☕
Thanks for the update… 😍😍
My opinion — One is looking at the glass half full ( Wangye ), the other is looking at the glass half empty ( Wangfei ). He thinks putting the responsibilities on her shoulder shows he valued her enough to trust her with his hundred of thousands soldiers while she thinks he is just using her like she is dispensable…. Well, Wangye is very smart but very dumb when it comes to his wife. What do you think??.
I don’t think either of them are particularly wrong; they are just totally different people with differing views on this subject. Compounded by her literally being raised in another time period, so she is struggling to adapt. In his world, everyone is at risk all the time, no matter what responsibilities they are given, their fates at the whims of anyone with more power to enforce their will. Look at the “traitorous” generals that rebelled against XTY knowing that was the emperors wish, but in the end, all 9 generations of their families will be executed because they failed. Their families aren’t even aware of what’s happening let alone have any part in it, but they are already slated to die.
Your environment shapes you, so these two are destined to not see eye to eye. The other people she encounters similarly don’t see her POV because it is so out of place.
Also, as much as she says she’s not Liu Bai, Su Cha, or Mo Qingfeng and is only an ordinary woman….she DID get successfully through the crisis, albeit with damage to herself, and none of those three could. XTY also got severely injured dealing with the prince, so it’s not that different. So her evaluation of herself as ordinary is not true – she’s a transmigrator with lots of skill, so that already sets her apart.
