Chapter 433 - Finding a good equilibrium (2)

”You're a clever woman. If it's possible, this emperor wants to do as this emperor had said back then, make you empress and dismiss the rest of the imperial harem,” Zhao Zhe softly said, ”However, it's only after this emperor had ascended to the throne, that this emperor realized how irresistible this position and wealth is. Even if someone offered this emperor a hundred beauties, this emperor wouldn't be willing to trade the throne for them. Men have an innate desire for power. There's no exception to this, even Yuxuan is the same.”

This child's ability to communicate his thoughts was defective. Ji Man had to listen to him ramble on for a long time before she understood his meaning.

So, Zhao Zhe was telling her that he had only s.n.a.t.c.hed her here because he wanted to see Marquis Moyu's reaction? If Marquis Moyu wanted to be with her and grow old with her, then he would have to leave this country in order to leave Zhao Zhe's sphere of authority. If he wanted power, he would lose her.

This selection was too senseless. It would be just as nonsensical as asking someone if they wanted hamburgers or love. What kind of love would there be without hamburgers? If you didn't have a loved one to share it with, would there be any point in eating a hamburger by yourself?

Why did Ning Yuxuan have to decide between one or the other? Why couldn't equilibrium be found? Ning Yuxuan was a player that had previously maintained balance between three factions, so why should she worry that he wouldn't be able to find a way to reach equilibrium now?

... Actually, she was quite worried. After all, right now, she was hanging at the end of the balance beam. If he gave up on her, she would fall to a horrible death.

Ji Man let out a long sigh. Zhao Zhe was certainly cruel enough. Since that time when his minions had forced her into jumping off the boat, she should known that he was a calculating, traitorous person that wasn't easy to deal with.

”Today, he left the palace after this emperor said he wanted you.” Zhao Zhe meaningfully smiled. ”Were you hoping that he would save you? Instead of immediately choosing you, he left.”

Ji Man nodded. ”If someone put my ex-boyfriend and five hundred million dollars in front of me and told me to choose, I would hesitate too.”

”You're not angry? That's tantamount to him giving up on you.” Zhao Zhe looked at her in surprise. ”If a woman is in love with someone, shouldn't she at least feel upset and angry?”

Ji Man slightly smiled and answered, ”Your Majesty, do you know that there's a type of person that can bury all of their feelings in their heart? No matter what, they can keep their calm. Even if they wakes up in the middle of night and sees that their home is lost, they can calmly get up and go to the police station.”

The corners of Zhao Zhe's lips twitched. He couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

”That type of person isn't without joy and sorrow. Their reflection time is just very long,” said Ji Man expressionlessly, ”It's long enough to circle the Earth and tie a bow around it. However, once this type of person is given the time to respond, the consequence will be extremely terrible.”

”To put it in another way, ”For people of n.o.ble character, even ten years isn't too long to wait before seeking revenge.”

If Ning Yuxuan really dared to give up on her, she would dedicate her life to making his life a living h.e.l.l.

Zhao Zhe finally understood her meaning. He laughed and said, ”Couldn't you have simply answered that you do care?”

Ji Man sneered and lowly said, ”I care a little bit, but there's nothing I can do about it. Anyways, I believe in him. He'll definitely find a way to save me.”
