Chapter 69 - So, you are disqualified (1/2)
Her eyes become wide. She opens her little mouth and closes it. Then, she reopens her mouth to say something. A thousand emotions flicker through her eyes.
Her complexion is better than yesterday. She has eaten 5 bowls of rice during the early lunch. Her near skeleton figure won't become better after one meal. He intends to train her and feed her a lot.
She finds her voice. ”Why do you ȧssume that you are good looking enough to become my husband?”
Li Jun has never tried to go after any woman. His first marriage was pretty much decided by the emperor. Bringing Wu Qiuyue as a concubine was his first wife's idea. However, he's sure that most women would find his appearance acceptable. This witch doesn't have a good eye.
”I will never take the position of a concubine,” She tells him with a sorrowful voice. Though she's clearly sad, she smiles at him. ”A woman will never like sharing her man, even if she is born with the most generous heart in the world.”
Li Jun thinks of Wu Qiuyue and his first wife. Usually, daughters of many noble families would jump at the idea of coming to his household as concubines. There is only one woman - Wu Qiuyue. She often asks him to take concubines, just like her elder sister did once. She wouldn't mind if he brings one.
”I won't be an ideal wife or an ideal concubine.” She looks at him sharply. ”A woman like me will only want one man. It goes without saying that his heart and soul must belong to me only. So, you are disqualified.”
The tone of her voice is keen and chilling. The hurt in her clears eyes is disturbing to him. He purses his lips together. They are just talking about her options. She's not from this place. So, it's natural that she has different opinions. Unconsciously, he outstretches his arm to touch her cheek.
Before his finger can touch her, she grins at him and says playfully, ”My man won't need a second or third woman when I am there. I will take care of all of his needs so well that he will never think about other women.”
He pulls back his hand. Truly a witch! A normal woman won't shamelessly boast about her skills like that.
”Don't tempt me to check whether you are as good as you say.”
”I am not trying to tempt you.” She rolls her eyes. ”What's so good about you? I haven't forgotten that you were the boy who shamelessly asked for a birthday gift from me.”
He did something like that once, but her words aren't enough to make him feel embarrassed.
”You shamelessly scammed me by giving me a worthless coin as a gift. You also stole food.”
She chuckles. ”If you keep the coin, one of your descendants might be able to buy candy in the future.”
”You say the coin is from the future?”
She always has a mysterious aura around her. She isn't the type to keep quiet about her secrets. If it was someone else, she would have been burned alive for being someone from the demon world. She trusts him deeply.
