Chapter 172: Chapter 172: I Will Marry You (2)_1

However, even his pleasantries and good intentions might not be appreciated by others.

Mu Caiwei extended her hand to take the bundle of banknotes, flipping through it, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Hehe, how generous, giving away twenty thousand taels of silver just like that, fine then, I’ll accept it as repayment for saving your life, although your life might not worth this price!"

"As for whether or not I show up in public in the future, and whether I continue to do business, these are not under your jurisdiction!" She spoke casually, not considering him important in the slightest.

Nangong Yi was taken aback, his handsome face suddenly shrouded in frost.

"As for your favor of saving my life, I will find a way to repay it in the future. These pieces of silver are to ensure that you stay home and don’t wander around too much!"

Hearing him say this, Caiwei gave a cold chuckle, sneered dismissively: "Great god, aren’t you overstepping your boundaries? Whether I show up in public, whether I stay quietly at home, or whether I run around, it has nothing to do with you, why the hell do you think you have the right to manage me?"

Made angry by her dismissive attitude, Nangong Yi gave a cold smile: "By the fact that we have been honest with each other, lived together, and shared the same bed, aren’t these reasons enough?"

The air grew tense, a chill spreading all over.

Caiwei’s expression became stern, suddenly feeling as if she was being watched by a wolf, and her voice failed to remain composed.

"You... What do you mean by this?

Nangong Yi lifted his robe, sat down with a leisurely on the chair beside the couch, looking straight at her, and slowly said something that stunned her to tears.

"I want to take responsibility for you, I want to marry you!"

"Boom!"

Caiwei felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Take responsibility, marry her?

What does one thing have to do with the other?

Who the hell needs him to take responsibility? Who needs him to marry her?

Did his head get stuck in a door? Just because she had shared a bed with him before, and they did nothing, he wanted to marry her, what kind of logic is this?

Caiwei is a modern person, with modern thoughts and worldviews, she would never be like ancient women who had to marry someone just because a man touched their hands, in order to protect their own virtue!

She has indeed been honest with the evildoer, shared the same bed with him, and even gave him a massage, so they did have bodily contact, but she would never marry him out of self-pity, nor would she feel her virtue compromised because of this. In her eyes, it was absolutely a trifling matter, like a duck gliding by without a sound, water flowing without leaving a trace, once it passed, it passed, and it would not affect her life at all.

To her, the evildoer taking this matter so seriously was not only ignorant and ridiculous but also detestable and contemptible. She absolutely couldn’t indulge in such behavior!

"Great god, if according to your theory on men and women not touching each other, shouldn’t the maids who helped you bathe and dress also have to marry you too? Because you have been honest with them too, right? In this case, isn’t your mansion running out of space?"

Nangong Yi sat across from her, staring at her intently, not missing a single expression on her face. As he saw her disdainful and dismissive look, his heart sank...

"My close servants are all men. There are no women."

"That has nothing to do with me!"

Caiwei interrupted him coldly, defiantly raising her eyes, "I want to make it clear to you, I don’t want to marry you, so save your sense of responsibility and just do whatever you should do!"

"Is your unwillingness to marry me because of Huo Yuan?"

Although the man was still smiling, his voice suddenly turned cold, icy as if in deep winter. His gaze suddenly sharp like a blade, staring at her with an intimidating intensity.
