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.
