A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 471 A Firm Choice
Seeing that Gao Yanzong had already stepped on the stirrups and sat on the saddle, Yuan Wuyou quickly jumped up and snatched the reins from Gao Yanzong's hand!

"Wait! I am usually careless and not very good at observing people's expressions, but don't you know what kind of person I am? When did I look down on you? If I said something unpleasant, you should point it out and scold me instead of sulking!"

At that time, Yuan Wuyou tightly grasped the reins of the chestnut horse, while the man sitting high on the horse pursed his lips condescendingly. His brown eyes revealed a terrifying hostility, and the morning light made his face look handsome and gloomy, with sharp features.

"I came to you at all costs and stayed with you all night, but you started to lecture me as soon as I woke up, as if I had done something wrong. How can I not be angry?"

"It's my fault. I'm so touched that you came to save me! But I don't want to drag you into this! Get off now! You're not fit to ride a horse now."

Gao Yanzong shook his head, causing his crooked ponytail to sway. He said in a low voice, "You are just trying to fool me! Does my life-and-death experience with you still count? Does our... close relationship still count?"

"Of course it counts. Am I the kind of person who will abandon someone after having fun with them? Come down quickly..." Yuan Wuyou tried to grab the man's thin calf, but he stubbornly pulled the reins on the horse's neck and refused to go downhill.

Yuan Wuyou asked anxiously, "How do you want me to comfort you so that you can feel relieved?"

"I'm not forcing you to coax me! In fact, I don't know...why I acted like a demon. I just don't want to accept it and feel wronged."

Cang Baishu, who was standing nearby, saw the two men being so affectionate around the horse, showing signs of reconciliation, and couldn't help but say:
"Yuan Wuyou, do you know why children like to make a scene with adults?"

"Why?"

"Because they want to attract the attention of adults. Not only children, but all behaviors that violate the norm and are unconventional are done to make a presence felt."

Cang Baishu's calm words were like a wake-up call for the two of them, clearing up the confusion and bringing light to the world.

Gao Yanzong, whose thoughts were exposed, had no courage to continue making trouble, so he followed Miss Yuan's hand and dismounted.

"Be careful... the dew on the grass is still wet and the ground is slippery."

She seemed not to care about what Cang Baishu said. She just held his hand tightly, with a gentle and doting tone, as if she was older.

Gao Yanzong turned his face slightly away, his long eyelashes covering his peach blossom eyes with red corners, and his expression was extremely depressed.

"I'm actually...very insecure. I'm afraid you'll abandon me first, so I pretend to be unrestrained and chase you away. If you really leave, I can still maintain some dignity and not look like a miserable abandoned husband. But I'm also afraid that you...will really leave..."

His tone was melancholy and his voice was no longer hoarse, but it had the deep and magnetic feeling of a mature man, which was in stark contrast to his fresh and handsome baby face.

Yuan Wuyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry when listening to this. His words actually explained why he had been in an abnormal and inconsistent mood recently.

She clenched the hand that was clasped with his, and with her other arm she went around his lower back, holding his thin waist in her arms.

"As long as you still have feelings for me, I won't let you go."

The moment he was embraced in her warm embrace, the man's whole body stiffened for no reason.

Gao Yanzong raised his red peach blossom eyes, but frowned sharply.
"I... am actually quite traditional and conservative. I don't have strong desires in that area. I used to think that unless someone made me love them so much that I threw my whole heart into them, my body would be completely unreserved. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept my virginity in front of you." When he said this, he looked at her with his eyes downcast, his voice so low that it was almost a murmur.

"You have always suspected that I am sacrificing myself to win you over for the sake of Qi, but I obviously... have liked you longer than Fourth Brother! I don't want to be unrestrained in front of you, but I can't resist you... I want you to be unable to stop wanting me, but I don't want you to only have desire for me." As he said this, Gao Yanzong calmly took off the slender arm that was placed on his waist.

Yuan Wuyou understood instantly, and withdrew his hand awkwardly, putting on a flattering smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't be lustful towards you anymore. I'm also insecure. In the past, you were careless with me emotionally, but you were as radiant as a peacock spreading its feathers to others. I was jealous. So I felt that only at that time could I feel personally... that you only belong to me."

Now that the two of them had talked it out, the gloomy and unwilling look on Gao Yanzong's face finally dissipated a little.

"Humph... How can I be careless? I call you Master in front of others."

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but hold his cheek, eyes full of pity,

"Silly Chong. It's all my fault for not considering your feelings before. I forgot that the smarter a person is, the more sensitive they are and the harder they are to please. I'll be more careful next time, okay?"

The man pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "Since you are hard to coax, don't force yourself. I hate myself like this, so let's just break up. I won't have to worry about your ambiguity, and you don't have to coax me so carefully and feel tired."

"Don't say such angry words! How can I bear to break up with you? You are my man!"

"I'm not, I'm leaving!"

Having said this, Gao Yanzong pushed away her hand that was holding his cheek, turned around to leave, but the girl rushed ahead of him.

Yuan Wuyou raised his hand to block his way, his eyes solemn.

"You pushed me away time and time again, don't you hope that I will firmly choose you again and again? I am the same. You are afraid of being abandoned so you break up first, and so am I! Now I am firm and proactive with you, so it's time for you to respond to me. Am I your firm choice?"

The man curled his lips and said without hesitation:
"What else? I won't devote my heart and soul to another woman in the world except you."

"Oh, your words are enough." She smiled happily, "You haven't slept all night, so you should find a place to catch up on your sleep. I'll take you back to Qi State right now."

The man nodded, "I feel at ease with you around."

Seeing that the two of them were about to go home hand in hand after the quarrel, Cang Baishu hurried forward to stop them.

"Wait! She is unconscious and doesn't know her situation. King Ande, don't you know either? Last night, Li Ming saw with his own eyes that you escaped from Wulipu and headed towards Jiyanggu City. This valley is already surrounded by Zhou Kingdom's soldiers." Having said this, he turned and looked at her.

"Have you forgotten why you did this? You promised the Zhou Kingdom, but now you are breaking your promise. How can you just leave when you want to?"

If he hadn't mentioned it, Yuan Wuyou would have really forgotten about it.

She looked at Cang Baishu and said seriously,
"From what you said, I guess he is in league with Tuoba Yan of Zhou State, right? Since I can't send him away in person, I'll trouble you to take him to find Tuoba Yan."

Cang Baishu was speechless: "You are good at ordering people around."

Yuan Wuyou suddenly thought of something and pulled up Gao Yanzong's sleeve, but he only saw that his wrist was wrapped with a cloth, as if he was injured.
