Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 103

“When Prince Yin tried to resist, Consort Hua would beat him and make him kneel outside during thunderstorms for the entire night. No one was allowed to help him without Consort Hua’s permission.”

"So Prince Yin has been afraid of thunder and the dark since he was a child."

Nalan Jingwen's expression was indifferent, but he slowly increased the force in his hands.

She seemed to see a tiny person kneeling outside the palace, with torrential rain pouring down from the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning. With each clap of thunder, the person in the rain trembled a little more, their eyes filled with fear, crying and begging for mercy helplessly.

“Nalan Jingwen, I am in pain.”

Pei Yunche's aggrieved voice rang out, and Nalan Jingwen suddenly came to his senses and let go of his hand.

"Feel sorry."

Pei Yunche shook his head and grabbed her hand again.

"fine."

Nalan Jingwen's eyes sharpened, shooting towards Wei Ru like a sword.

"How did you get that cage?"

"This old servant was unaware; it appeared suddenly."

Nalan Jingwen lowered his eyes in deep thought, a vague guess forming in his mind.

"and after?"

"Later, this old servant was transferred away from Jing'an Palace and could only go back to see Prince Yin occasionally. The people in the palace were indifferent to the whole thing, and they believed that it was better to do less trouble than more trouble. They didn't want to get into trouble, so no one cared about Prince Yin anymore. Every time this old servant went to see him, he was covered in injuries, not a single part of him was unharmed. He was thin and small. He was clearly seven or eight years old, but he looked like he was four or five. It was truly a tragedy."

Pei Yunche frowned and said, "If you don't like the child, just abort it. Since you've already brought the child into the world, why treat it like this?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ru sighed again.

"Hua Shijun never thought of aborting the child, but the child's vitality was so tenacious that it couldn't be aborted no matter what she did. It's like the child grew up even though it ate only coarse food after it was born."

Pei Yunche turned to look at Nalan Jingwen, puzzled, and asked, "Why would a father not love his own child?"

Nalan Jingwen looked up at him and said indifferently, "Because he was never born of love."

Her mother, the empress, abducted him back to the palace and killed his fiancée, separating the two who should have been in love by death. No one could accept that, let alone that he was pregnant with the child of her enemy.

It's understandable that Hua Shijun doesn't love Nalan Yin, but why transfer his hatred to such a young child?

Can one vent their hatred by retaliating against children who abuse them?

He was just a child who didn't understand anything. He didn't understand why his father didn't like him, why his father beat him, or why his father locked him in a cage.

If you don't love him, then leave him alone. Even letting him fend for himself is better than abusing him.

No wonder she always found Nalan Yin strange. He didn't know how to use chopsticks, and he had no manners when standing or sitting. It turned out that this was the reason. She had thought it was because no one had taught him manners.

Pei Yunche was stunned, his expression somewhat blank.

Love?

From a young age, the men are instilled with the idea that their wives are their heaven. If the wife dies, the man follows his daughter. He is expected to follow his wife after marriage and his daughter after her death. Most men marry women they have never met because of their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even so, once a child is born, they will love him with all their heart and be bound to the child for life, as if a father's love for his child is his nature.

No one has ever said that children should be born in love. If that's not the case, there can be fathers who don't love their children.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at him indifferently, then waved to Wei Ru.

"I understand. You may leave. Do not let a single word of this get out."

"Yes."

Nalan Jingwen had only taken two steps after getting up when Pei Yunche hugged him from behind, his muffled voice coming from behind.

"Nalan Jingwen, can you love me?"

“I want to marry you and have your children, but if you don’t love me, our child will not be born in love, and I don’t want you to not love him.”

Nalan Jingwen sighed, pulled his hand away, turned around to face him, and Pei Yunche looked at her with red eyes, full of grievance.

“I know it was because my sister came to find you and pressured you that you agreed to let me come to your mansion. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. She was just too worried about me.”

"I didn't know what liking someone was before, but since you came back, I feel like you've changed."

“It’s different from before. Before, even though I said I wanted to marry you, it was just because I didn’t want to lose you as a playmate and didn’t want to enter the palace. But now, I always miss you whenever I can’t see you. You always speak so bluntly, which makes me so sad. I like to see you smile at me. I like you holding me. I originally thought it was just my dependence on you, just like before, but I found out it’s not. I love you and want to marry you. When I see other men around you, I can’t help but feel sad. I also want to stand by your side with dignity, just like Rong Hengyu.”

He finished speaking in one breath, his beautiful eyes staring straight at her, reflecting her face.

Nalan Jingwen showed no extra expression, as if he had expected this, and asked, "Are you really so desperate for me? Do you really want to marry me? Even if you're not the only one by my side."

Pei Yunche pursed his lips, his eyes shimmering, as if he had made a tremendous decision.

"Yes, I will only marry you. Even if there are other people around you, I will not marry anyone but you."

As long as he is in her heart, as long as he can see her every day, that is enough.

Nalan Jingwen nodded slowly, "Okay."

"I...what?"

Pei Yunche's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"What did you say?"

Nalan Jingwen continued, "I said yes, I can marry you, but there's a condition."

Pei Yunche's hands trembled with excitement, his knuckles turned white from the force, his breathing became rapid, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked out, "Tell me, I'll agree to any conditions!"

Nalan Jingwen stared at him intently and said, "It's a year. If you still love me after a year, then I will marry you."

A year is his chance. During this time, he has the right to regret his decision. If he still can't live without her after a year, then she will marry him in a grand and glorious way.

"A word is settled!"

Pei Yunche agreed immediately without thinking about why, without any hesitation, for fear that Nalan Jingwen would change his mind. To him, a one-year period was nothing compared to before, and the one-year period was completely insignificant.

He embraced Nalan Jingwen tightly, as if he were holding a precious treasure. He was extremely careful, and just by holding Nalan Jingwen like this, he felt that everything before had been worthwhile.

"Thank you."

Thank you for giving him a chance, so that he wouldn't have to live in pain and torment for the rest of his life.

Nalan Jingwen smiled slightly, patted his back, and was about to say something when she heard a commotion outside.

"Help! Help! The King has fainted!!"
