After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 149 She went straight for it!

Under the cover of night, the icy river water surged ashore wave after wave.

As the tide gradually overflowed the shallows, many shipwrecks drifted into the reed beds near the shore.

The fishermen living nearby heard the wind getting stronger and stronger, and fearing that their fishing boats would be blown away, they came out with lanterns to try to secure the boats again.

But as soon as they got close to the reeds, they heard a faint sound coming from there.

"Who? Who is it?" Wei Dalang gripped the stick in his hand tightly with nervousness.

I looked around suspiciously, afraid that something unclean might emerge from the water.

"..." But because the sound was too soft and the wind was too strong, Wei Dalang listened for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.

So he mustered his courage, parted the reeds, and brought the dim kerosene lamp closer—

"Ah!!" A scream pierced the wind.

Wei Dalang was so frightened by the people in the water that he sat down on the ground with a thud, almost losing his kerosene lamp.

"Help...help me..." Seventeen lay on the half-destroyed deck, his face as pale as a ghost.

Ok? !

Hearing voices coming from the water, Wei Dalang was no longer so afraid.

Touching his butt again...it's wet!

He was instantly furious; these were his best pair of pants!

"what!"

"You scared the hell out of me!"

"help me......"

Wei Dalang spat directly into the reeds, "Pah!"

"You're asking for it, what does that have to do with me! Get the hell away from me!"

After saying that, he poked at the boat a few times with a stick before leaving, so that Seventeen wouldn't die near his boat and affect his fishing.

"Wow - wow -"

Seeing that he was about to be swept away by the waves again, and having no strength left to swim to shore, Seventeen could only call out, word by word, "Money..."

"Money...I have...money..."

"I...have...money..."

The man, who had already walked far away, stopped in his tracks.

After pausing for a moment, he came back.

What he was really thinking was to pull the person up and check them over first, and if they had money, he would take the money and then throw the person back into the water.

What if you don't have money?

Hmph, all those years of fishing haven't been for nothing...

......

Outside, a gentle southerly breeze wafted by, its tender yet poignant touch dispelling the dryness that filled the room, giving even the fallen blossoms a touch of cool elegance.

Inside the room, in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table, the beautiful woman was fair-skinned and charming. When she looked at the person beside her, her face showed even more warmth.

"Is it not done yet? You can just comb it while you're at it."

"It'll be ready soon."

He then used a different hairpin to lightly wipe the rouge off her face, and only then was Wang Qingyan satisfied.

Then--

"Hahaha......"

Watching him slowly get up from the stool behind him and move sideways little by little, Baili Ce almost died laughing.

"Laugh... What are you laughing at! How much better are you than me!" Wang Qingyan, who had never been so embarrassed, blushed.

Even funnier!

"Hiss..." Unexpectedly, while laughing, she suddenly pulled her waist.

But I still want to say, let's all laugh at him.

I didn't say that!

She was also suffering from backaches, but seeing someone else in even more pain made her happy.

"Hmph..." For the first time, Wang Qingyan felt a sense of "not wanting" to be with her.

She spoke in such an affected tone, "You, you're not allowed to tempt me like that again..."

"Huh??" Bai Li Ce's eyebrows squeezed into an "eight" shape.

Hey, where did she seduce him?

"Can't you be reasonable? What did I do?"

"What haven't you done yet?" Wang Qingyan ripped open his shirt, revealing layers upon layers of marks.

He never expected that she would not only be willing, but also dare to take the initiative!

"Yesterday you kept saying 'do it again,' 'do it again'?"

"What? You're not satisfied?"

"Am I not doing well enough?"

What do you mean by living under someone else's roof, compromising, or half-heartedly giving in?

She went straight for it! Taking the initiative is always a win-win situation!

"..."

It has to be said that it took Baili Ce so long to realize that Wang Qingyan is also a shy person.

It's normal to be shy.

It's not a problem for men to be shy.

But it looks strange on him.

So Baili Ce quickly tried to appease him, "..."

Before she could say anything, Wang Qingyan pulled her into his arms, saying, "Anyway... you'll be fine from now on..."

Ok?

Bai Li Ce was completely baffled.

Is it because it's too direct, and he doesn't like it?

Sigh... Baili Ce just feels that life is so hard.

I could only gently hug him and comfort him, "If you don't like it..."

"That was not what I meant."

"Ok?"

So you like it?

"Tch, men, they're so greedy!"

Wang Qingyan was utterly bewildered and speechless.

But after a while...

"A-Zhu"

Looking down at her, all I could see was her.

"I am here"

"You must never let me down."

Bai Li Ce paused... hesitantly, then said with utmost seriousness, "Absolutely not."

that--

That's too easy.

......

Two days later, the embroiderer's embroidery was finally delivered.

But Wang Qingyan was still not satisfied.

Although I don't know exactly what he's dissatisfied with.

But Baili Ce could only go along with his wishes and redesign it together.

"This cloud pattern is too monotonous, it should be like this..."

Holding Baili Ce's hand, he drew a solemn and elegant cloud pattern, a gold-embroidered pattern symbolizing heaven and earth that should appear on their wedding dress.

“Then…” Baili Ce had a sudden inspiration and drew ears of wheat next to the wild geese so that the embroiderers could better understand their meaning and embroider the most perfect works.

Wang Qingyan certainly knew that wild geese symbolized unwavering loyalty.

But, "What does this ear of wheat mean?"

"The ears of wheat symbolize our hope that we will have plenty of food and clothing and live in peace and safety year after year."

Pulling him to sit beside him, Baili Ce's eyes no longer held any wariness or distance, but rather a hint of affection that was hard to define.

"Before I was ten years old, I often didn't have enough to eat. The longest I ever went hungry was two days and one night."

"At that time, I thought that I must plant lots and lots of wheat in the future, so that I could eat it whenever I wanted after the harvest."

He took her hand as a matter of course and gently wiped the ink from her index finger with a handkerchief. Wang Qingyan was so gentle and refined that even his voice was soft.

"I thought you only wanted to become famous, I didn't expect you to have such a simple wish."

"Sometimes, it's better to keep things simple."

"In the future, we don't need to be too rich. We just need to be able to eat our fill three meals a day."

Seeing that he had no objections, Baili Ce added, "Of course, it would be even better if we didn't have to do anything at all!"

Wang Qingyan tapped her forehead with a helpless expression. "Now that I hear it this way, it doesn't seem so simple and unadorned after all."

"You..." Baili Ce was speechless and shoved him in annoyance.

"What? I call this being realistic and reasonable, raising requirements based on living standards."

Wang Qingyan immediately feigned an air of superiority, "Oh?"

Then he put his arm around her and said, "Then let's discuss how to improve the standard of our wedding banquet."

Bai Li Ce frowned, almost losing his composure. "Didn't you say everything was ready?"

This bastard isn't trying to make me pay, is he?

The thought of the more than ten million taels of silver that she had given to Lu Jian for free made her realize that it wasn't impossible to cancel the wedding banquet.

"Before, you were so resistant to me that you wouldn't give me a proper answer no matter what I discussed with you, so naturally I could make all the decisions. But now..."

Looking at Baili Ce with deep affection, her love was clearly overwhelming, yet the suggestive undertones in her words were fully conveyed: "Of course I hope you'll take it to heart."

In other words-

If you disagree, then I don't need to care whether you're happy or not.

But if you agree, then we can discuss everything.

Bai Li Ce looked thoughtful, "In that case..."
