Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2156

It was the first time Chi Shuang had been so close to a man, and her heart was inexplicably moved. She had always... never considered him a man.

Even as if he were her younger brother, even though he was actually older than her.

Even though Ma Chuyang always says "shameless", Chi Shuang actually knows that this guy is a very shameless person in his heart.

So "slept together" really means just sleeping together. Ma Chuyang wanted to get married properly, and he was willing to go through the formalities of marriage after three matchmakers and six betrothals.

He doesn't want to be a man like Lao Ma who can't control his lower body!

As he grew older, he became more and more disgusted with Lao Ma's behavior of picking up any woman and sleeping with her to have a baby.

Ma Chuyang had made up his mind that he would learn how to be a good person and become a prince consort. He had been kind to his cousin for many years and was loyal and devoted.

The home was harmonious and warm, free from all the messy and dirty things. This was the kind of home he wanted.

Ma Chuyang leaned over Chi Shuang's couch, his chin resting on his folded arms, like a stubborn puppy, "Shuang'er, do you really not like me?"

Chi Shuang closed her eyes again and whispered, "I like it."

Who wouldn't like such a handsome and sincere man? She wasn't blind, nor was she heartless.

"If you like me, then why don't you marry me?" Ma Chuyang was so anxious that he tried to grab her wrist, but he didn't dare to use force and just circled it lightly.

Chi Shuang stood up, the sunlight filtering through the cabin veil making her eyes and brows soften. "Chu Yang, I'm already over thirty."

"Then what's wrong?" Ma Chuyang was even more puzzled. "I'm older than you, and I'm over 30."

"You are a man," Chi Shuang looked into his bright and beautiful eyes, "you are now at the best age in a man's life, don't waste it on me. Find a good girl to marry and have children, that's the real thing."

She was no longer able to do that. At her age, having a child would be dangerous.

If she were still in her early twenties, she might have married him without hesitation.

But at that time, she didn't like him.

By the time she realized she liked him, she had already reached such an awkward age.

Chi Shuang cannot marry.

Because she would not risk her life to have a child for anyone, not even Ma Chuyang.

She lived not only for herself, but also for her parents and her brother. She actually valued her life very much and was unwilling to gamble with it for something that was difficult to control.

She lowered her eyes to look at the obedient and well-behaved man in front of her, and patiently explained all this to him, "I like you, but I like myself more."

This was the first time she had said it so clearly.

She is a selfish person who always thinks about herself.

She was different from Ma Chuyang. She had been looked down upon since childhood and had no family. If she didn't love herself, no one else could love her.

"I once thought of marrying you, taking a concubine for you, and having children for you. But I can't do that, Chu Yang. I can't bear to see you flirting with other women under the same roof."

Ma Chuyang asked, "Are you done?"

Chi Shuang nodded, her eyes cold and serene. She was well-controlled, calm and composed, without much reluctance.

Ma Chuyang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it because of the talented man surnamed Zheng from Liang State?"

Chi Shuang was unhappy, "Of course not, I've said it countless times, I'm not familiar with him."

"What about the talented man surnamed Zeng? What about the one surnamed Bai? What about the one surnamed Fang?" Ma Chuyang counted them one after another, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with these people.

He was in the North Wing, far away, and often felt powerless, unable to reach out. "If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have to worry. My mother's only request for me was to get married, not to have children..."
