Chapter 940: Chapter 938: Humble and Submissive
He excitedly wanted to go up and embrace Su Han, but was pushed back by Su Han’s cold voice, “Your Highness, please show some respect!”
Show some respect…
Chu Xiaotian smiled wryly and helplessly, “That’s right, you are no longer the Regional Princess, and I should not be touching you, but I really miss you, Han’er. Forgive me and come back home with me, okay?”
“Forgive? Go back home?” Su Han’s lips curled up with a mocking arc, a trace of disdain spilling from her eyes, “Your Highness, you think that since I have not held the past entanglements against you, I am still as easy to manipulate as before and that you can overstep your bounds with me, right?”
“I didn’t…” Caught off guard and seen through, Chu Xiaotian suddenly felt somewhat guilty!
It was just as Su Han had said!
He took advantage of her unwillingness to lose her temper at him, so he harassed her relentlessly, step by step pressuring her, thinking that he could eventually take her back to the prince’s mansion.
Chu Xiaotian’s reaction was within Su Han’s expectations, even the thoughts behind each of his expressions were crystal clear to her.
“Chu Xiaotian, you have always thought that Su Han still loves you; even if you almost killed me, left me bruised all over, humiliated me thousands of times, I would still return to your side, grovel before you, right?”
“No! I have never seen you as groveling, I know you acted that way because you admired me! Your toleration of my mother and sister was all because of your deep love for me! But Han’er, I realize my mistake now, my mother and sister have also been exiled three thousand miles away, they can never return to Jiang Du City again. Isn’t this punishment enough? You should come back with me now!”
Chu Xiaotian reached out to take her hand, but Su Han swiped her sleeve, and he didn’t even touch the hem of her garment.
Chu Xiaotian’s brow furrowed deeply, “Han’er, what more do you want? I have already humbled myself to ask for your forgiveness, how much longer will you stay angry? Do you really want me to kneel before you and admit my wrongs?”
Chu Xiaotian had only mentioned it casually, but Su Han replied with a slight smile, “All right, if Your Highness kneels and apologizes, then I’ll consider what you’ve proposed.”
“Su Han! Don’t go too far! How can you make me kneel to you!” Chu Xiaotian instantly became furious, his face the color of iron, “A man’s knees bear gold, and besides, considering my status, how can I kneel to a woman!”
“Why not? Kneeling to admit one’s errors is nothing out of the ordinary. Or is it that Your Highness believes you are truly blameless, and that your apology is merely because you’ve heard the news of my impending marriage and cannot stand it?”
A glint of shrewdness flashed through Su Han’s eyes.
In the past, Chu Xiaotian also pestered her on the street, at the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, on quite a few occasions.
But each time, a single look of disdain from her was enough to break his confidence, his pride would not allow him to continue being humiliated in public.
However, this time, he had been waiting at the door of Marquis’s Manor every night, persisting for three or four days already.
She had only come out to see him because of this.
Presumably, it was hearing about her and Song Chengyi that had provoked him.
A look of disgust appeared in Chu Xiaotian’s eyes, he hated Su Han’s shrewdness. The Su Han of the past, who always displayed obedience and tenderness towards him, was who he missed. That was why, time and again, he put his dignity aside and came back to find her!
But now, she looked as though she could see right through him without him having to say a word.
It made him particularly uneasy.
