"What did you say?"
Xia Tan'er suddenly stood up, with disbelief written all over her face.
Dong Lingjiu was very satisfied with Xia Tan'er's expression at the moment, but when he thought of her refusal just now, Dong Lingjiu decided not to make Xia Tan'er happy too early. She must learn how to love and cherish him like him.
"Yes, as far as I know, if the Kyushu event is a success, the emperor will definitely reward me. I have everything except the position of the head wife. Then the princess will propose to marry This king, my brother is very likely to betray the country behind her and send me away as a favor."
"But you are not a prince, you should have the right to decide your own marriage."
Xia Tan'er sat down with a dejected look on her face. She couldn't imagine how uncomfortable she would feel if she saw Dong Lingjiu getting married to another woman.
Now just thinking about it, she has the urge to strangle the other person to death. Xia Tan'er is very possessive. Even if she doesn't want it, she won't allow anyone else to pick it up, let alone the person in front of her. She likes men very much.
"Being in a high position, for the sake of peace between the two countries, there are times when I have no choice but to do so."
Dong Lingjiu looked extremely helpless and sighed deeply, but when Xia Tan'er lowered her head and felt uncomfortable, he glanced at her quietly again, unable to suppress the amusement in his eyes.
But when Xia Tan'er raised her head and looked back at him, he pretended that nothing had happened and maintained his previous helplessness.
"So this is the reason why Uncle Nine Emperors came to me tonight to ask me to sign the marriage contract? After signing the marriage contract, I will be your only princess. And because of the Lu family's status in Jiuzhou Continent, even if the emperor or even the princess and her The country represented behind the scenes is dissatisfied, so it has no choice but to give up for the sake of the Lu family."
"Uncle Nine Emperors, is this what you think?"
Seeing Xia Tan'er becoming more and more serious about the truth he guessed, Dongling Jiuyu couldn't bear to open his mouth to express relief.
"This is just the most trivial of the reasons why I want to marry you. I never rely on women for protection. I love you, so I want to marry you. There is an essential difference here, so Tan'er, please give me The king has this opportunity to protect you for the rest of his life, okay?"
The wind and rain outside the house gradually became gentle, and the lights inside the house were twinkling. Dong Lingjiu's face was so gentle under the candlelight. Those dark and deep eyes changed from the haze of the past, and looked at Xia Tan, who was as bright as the stars when she was a child. Brilliant.
Looking at these firm and sincere eyes, Xia Tan'er suddenly lost her consciousness. Her feelings for her were getting deeper and deeper. He stamped his mark fiercely on it.
"This is a mark that belongs exclusively to me. No one is allowed to touch it except me. Do you hear me?"
Dong Lingjiu was surprised by Xia Tan'er's initiative and nodded mechanically to her, but couldn't help but happily recall the kiss that swore ownership just now. He lowered his head and smiled like a little daughter-in-law, even a little. I like Xia Tan'er being so domineering.
"But Tan'er, it's just that no one else can see such a kiss. How can I convince outsiders with my baseless kiss?"
Dong Lingjiu is addicted to addiction, and his IQ has always been at the forefront. The ownership is only declared by him, so he has to come up with something practical to convince those who are ready to cause chaos.
