Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Punishment(5)_1

She lowered her gaze, speaking softly.

Nangong Yi looked at her, extended his hand, and pulled her into his embrace, his strong arm wrapped around her slender waist.

"Cai Wei..."

He lowered his head, gazing at her with deep affection, the once bewitching pupils now clear to the core, as if able to see through his very soul.

"Cai Wei, don’t reject me. Give me a chance. Whatever Huo Yuan can give you, I, Nangong Yi, can also provide. Whatever Huo Yuan cannot give you, I can. Let’s be together and live the life of a lifelong pair, alright?"

Such a poignant confession would touch anyone’s heart who heard it, let alone that this man is the most noble prince of the Great Jin Nation, and he coincidentally is the one secretly harbored in her heart!

Cai Wei’s body trembled, her heart pounding violently. At this moment, how she wished she could whimsically agree and happily embrace him...

But this wishful thinking was limited to her imagination. The harsh reality did not permit such willfulness. If they were together, it was destined to end tragically!

"Nangong Yi..."

Cai Wei licked her lips and said with difficulty: "Nangong Yi, it’s not that I want to reject you. It’s just that your background makes it impossible for us to be together. If you insist on marrying me, I believe, even if your mother doesn’t harm me, your father will not spare me, and may even vent his anger on my family. I can’t bear such consequences, so, I cannot agree to you, I’m sorry..."

As she spoke, her lips were tightly pressed, her eyes slightly reddened.

Cai Wei’s words, although rejecting Nangong Yi, revealed a piece of information to him - her rejection was not because she loved another man, but that she was wary and dared not marry him.

This realization filled Nangong Yi with exhilaration. His little girl hadn’t fallen in love with someone else and had finally responded to his feelings. Although it was just a small response, it was already invaluable!

Seeing Cai Wei’s slightly red-rimmed eyes, Nangong Yi’s heart felt a tender ache. He caressed her porcelain-white cheek, comforting her: "Wei’er, rest assured, I will keep whatever promise I make to you, no matter how difficult it is, I will never let you down!"

Having said that, he could no longer restrain himself and lowered his head.

"No, Nangong, um..."

Just as Cai Wei began to resist, she was tightly restrained by the man. His strong arm, like a vine, wrapped tightly around her waist, and his other large hand held the back of her head, not allowing her to resist or escape.

The moment they touched, the emotions pent up in his heart surged forth like a broken dam, rushing and pounding, gradually calming his heart that had been tormented for many days.

"Wei’er, Wei’er..."

Cai Wei was initially resisting him, but upon seeing his gentle eyes and hearing his lingering whispers, inexplicably, she did not resist.

Cai Wei, tickled and pained by his actions, couldn’t help but chide softly: "Hey, move away ——"

A palace maid came in, bringing the clothes just retrieved from the Internal Affairs Department.

Those clothes were strikingly similar to the ones Cai Wei was wearing that day. If one didn’t look closely, they would think it was her original outfit.

Cai Wei put on the new clothes and felt very satisfied.

If she went out with him and returned to be found wearing a different set of clothes, her reputation would be ruined!
