Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I woke up drowsily in the morning, and a figure beside the bed scared me so much that I woke up instantly and quickly sat up from the bed.

"Why are you sitting here so early in the morning? You scared me!" I saw that Li Zhanwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why? Why don't you want to marry me?" Li Zhanwen looked at me with resentment.

"Why are you still worried about this problem!" I fell asleep again.

"I love you more than Rong Zixuan, and I'm more devoted than Shen Junhui. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to marry me!"

"You are still in mourning period, what's the point of talking about getting married?" I turned over and continued to sleep.

"But why did you say you would rather remarry your ex-husband than marry me?" Li Zhanwen turned me over.

"Don't distort the facts! I never said that!"

"That's roughly the meaning! You have to give me an explanation. Is there something I didn't do well enough? Is it because of Fang Hui's problem?" Li Zhanwen was very anxious.

"Don't worry about it. A real man shouldn't be so petty!"

"Stingy? I love you with all my heart, but you say you don't want to marry me. Aren't you betraying my sincerity?"

"I just said I didn't want to marry you, I didn't say I didn't want to be with you! How can I let you down?"

"If you're willing to be together, why don't you marry me? Marriage is an important step in the sublimation of a relationship. Through marriage, we go from lovers to partners and family! You don't want our relationship to sublimate further now. I can't understand it! Did I do something wrong?"

"The only difference between getting married and not getting married is having that piece of paper. As long as we truly love each other, what does it matter whether we have that piece of paper or not?"

"Since you truly love each other, why don't you walk into the marriage hall together? This only means that you don't approve of me! You must give me an explanation today!" Li Zhanwen forcibly pulled me up.

"Okay, okay! I'll explain it to you!"

I sat up and kept stroking my hair but didn't answer, which made Li Zhanwen very anxious.

"Tell me! You're making me die of anxiety!" Li Zhanwen was very anxious.

"I told you not to cry!"

"I'll cry if you don't tell me!"

"First of all, the first question is, you are such a foolish filial son!"

"Filial piety comes first among all virtues. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"That's right, but you are foolishly filial!"

"I do not have……"

"Listen to me first! Your mother threatened you to get married by getting sick. Did you agree?"

"But my mother is like that, I can't let her be sad and angry!"

"Yes, that's right! But will your mother get better if you get married? No, you just blindly obey your mother and don't think about whether this is reasonable. Although you are wronged by marrying Fang Hui, you think it's okay for your mother. However, you don't consider me as your lover! You don't consider whether I will be sad, you only obey your mother's requirements! So from my point of view, you are no longer qualified!"

"But as a son, isn't filial piety your duty?"

"Filial piety is a must, but obedience depends on the situation. If your mother asked you to kill someone, would you obey?"

"But the two are completely different. My mother would never ask me to do something like that. Although she has forced me to do things I don't want to do, overall she is doing it for my own good."

"For your own good? As expected, you are still your mother's best son! So you can't blame me for not wanting to marry you!"

"What is the connection between these two things?" Li Zhanwen was very confused.

"What you call "for your own good" is that your mother wants to break us up and make you marry another woman! Not only do you not oppose your mother, but you understand her! So in your heart, I am not important at all. As long as your mother says it's for your own good, you can abandon me at any time!"

"I didn't think so. My mother is sick, and I really don't want to make her angry and make her condition worse. And I also told you that it was just acting! It's just that I was calculated later, so the situation became complicated! I didn't intend to marry Fang Sui!"

"You don't need to explain. Anyway, you can't refuse your mother's request!"

"My mom has already promised not to interfere in our affairs anymore! Your worries are totally unnecessary!"

"It's just words. Who knows if she'll regret it later? It's not the first time your mother has gone back on her word. I can't let this ticking time bomb of your mother be buried in my life!"

"Do you want my mother to write a letter of guarantee for you?"

"There's another question. How should I put it? You're a saint, or perhaps you're like central air conditioning!"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhanwen was confused.

"It's just being too kind! Nothing is good when it's too much. Your eldest brother is busy helping your father deal with the lawsuit against the illegitimate child. You clearly don't have the ability to help him, but why did you let him come to me? You're being too generous to others!"

"But you were the only one around me who could help him at that time, and I only asked him to find you because I treated you as my own."

"But do I know him well? Why should I help him?"

"I can't bear to see him so upset. He's my eldest brother after all! And I also want to help my dad settle those things, but my mom forbids us brothers and sisters to come forward, so I can only let my eldest brother come to you himself!"

"Your eldest brother is already over 40 years old. Can't he handle this on his own? Besides, the plaintiff's demand is simple: money! Your eldest brother simply doesn't want to pay. You told him to come to me, and he thought you were trying to convince me to pay for him! You're just looking for trouble!"

"We are brothers after all..."

"So I can already foresee that if we get married, you will help your father's illegitimate child without any bottom line! Because you think we are better off than them, so we can help them! Also, your family is bankrupt, and your second and third brothers are now running their own companies. If anything goes wrong, you will definitely help them! Because you think we are all brothers, we are all family, so you should help if you can! But Zhong Ding is my hard work, I can't let you do whatever you want!"

"Don't I have any advantages?" Li Zhanwen felt aggrieved.

"You're very loyal and have a very good character. I don't worry about you betraying me when I'm with you, and I'm very happy with you. But marriage is different from love! Marriage is a matter of two families, and your family is very complicated. I don't want to be trapped in such a complicated family because of marriage!"

"I promise you that I won't care about my father's illegitimate children, and I also promise you that my mother won't interfere in our lives anymore! After we get married, we will form our own small family and won't let you join that complicated family!"

"You think too simply! If we get married, I'll be stuck in a lot of situations because of the constraints of marriage, so I have to eliminate all hidden dangers!"

"But are we supposed to be together in such an illegal way?"

"Can you please stop being so old-fashioned? We can be together without getting married, and being with you without the constraints of marriage is easier for me!"

"But Rong Zixuan and Shen Junhui could marry you so easily, why didn't you give me a chance? I don't believe they were flawless when you married them! Since you can tolerate their flaws, why can't you tolerate mine?"

"Rong Zixuan cheated on me mentally when we were dating, and he got divorced because of low self-esteem when we were married. Shen Junhui cheated on me both before and after marriage, but their shortcomings are very obvious and it's their fault. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and it won't backfire on me. But if your shortcomings are not handled properly, all the dirty water will be thrown on me. For example, on the issue of filial piety, if I stop you from doing something unreasonable that your mother ordered, I will most likely be labeled an unfilial person! And if I stop you from using Zhongding's resources to subsidize your brother, I might be accused by your family of sowing discord among the brothers! Your shortcomings are shortcomings in my eyes, but not in the eyes of your family!"

"You're thinking too much!"

"It's not that I overthink things, I just approach marriage very rationally! In my first marriage, I didn't care about the pros and cons and bravely walked into the marriage hall, but it ended up hurting me. In my second marriage, I believed in love again, weighed the pros and cons, and boldly entered into it again, but it ended in disgrace. So now I will approach marriage more rationally and consider many pros and cons. The disadvantages of marrying you are too obvious!"

Li Zhanwen felt very depressed after hearing this, but he didn't ask any more questions and just walked out silently.
