Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Chapter 224 Now, I will just comfort you and make you happy for the last time12.

Being too kind is the biggest weakness. Wanting to protect others too much means you have concerns and weaknesses.

Su Yingxue is such a person.

The kindness in her nature made her vulnerable to him.

Chu Xingchen understood this too well.

Even if he treated her too harshly, she would eventually submit to him for the sake of the maids, subordinates, clansmen, and followers whom she cared about.

Chu Xingchen knew her too well.

So even though she looked at her pale face, her eyes slightly misty, and her lips bitten until they bled, she didn't push him away at all.

She obediently grasped the edge of the table in front of her, her knuckles turning white.

Chu Xingchen's hands, with their burning warmth, grasped her slender waist from under her coat.

He stroked her slender waist with his cool fingers, and ice and fire met.

He reached out and pressed her waist down against the edge of the table.

Today she was wearing a brocade jacket and a pleated skirt. The crescent-white skirt was decorated with butterflies made of silver thread, and the silver thread sparkled under the shining palace lanterns.

The glittering skirt, with dozens of butterflies floating on it, suddenly broke in the middle and flew to the ground.

The sudden winter chill was so intense that even with the warmth of the charcoal fire, Su Yingxue shivered in the cold.

But soon, what drove away the chill in the biting winter air was the scorching heat.

Ice and fire merge, and the candlelight weeps.

······

Fortunately, the next day, Chu Xingchen brought Su Yingxue with him to distribute food and clothing to the tribesmen. As the five whole sheep were roasted over the bonfire in the underground palace, a rich aroma of oil filled the air, and the bonfire illuminated the joy and happiness of the tribesmen singing and dancing in the underground palace.

The members of the old Nangong clan may never have imagined that they could live so freely in the underground palace in their lifetime, share roasted whole lamb, and dance freely.

Although Xu Niang is old, happiness makes her forget her past pain.

Su Yingxue looked at the singing and dancing scene in front of her, and saw the gratitude in their hearts when they looked at Chu Xingchen. She felt both happy and sad.

She was originally the freest bird, but now her wings were broken by Chu Xingchen and she was pressed into a dull and depressing golden cage.

Only the bloody wound on her lip and the fingertips that pinched the edge of the table so hard last night that they turned white can make one understand the unwillingness and humiliation in her heart, as well as the unspeakable compromise that is engraved in her bones.

She hated herself for being useless, which was why she was manipulated by others. Even the lives of her tribe depended on her humble and submissive behavior.

But she had nowhere to say it.

Because the relationship between her and him is like a chicken egg hitting a stone.

In the book, she ended up dying in his hands, but now she was just dying in another, more humiliating way, with her heart dying in his applause.

A tribesman brought her and him a piece of roasted lamb. Chu Xingchen washed his hands personally, wrapped it with fresh vegetables, and handed it to her mouth.

"Sister, try one."

Seeing his gentle demeanor, the tribesmen couldn't help but joke, "It's rare to find a man as gentle, capable, considerate, and caring as Prince Chu."

"Miss, why don't you marry Prince Chu?"

"When the wedding banquet is held, please remember to give us wedding fruits!"

"Yes, yes, it would be the best if I could attend your wedding."

······

Everyone was talking at once, and when Chu Xingchen saw this, he smiled brightly.

Chu Xingchen put his arm around her waist and replied to the clansmen with a smile, "Of course, wait for my sister to agree to the marriage proposal as soon as possible. If the wedding takes place, I will hold a grand banquet to entertain you all."

The flickering light in Su Yingxue's eyes was like the falling stars from the sky, slowly falling and falling, as if falling into an endless abyss.

She felt a thin layer of mist in her eyes, moist and she forced a smile, but the smile did not reach her heart.

"Sister, they are all asking when you are willing to marry me." Chu Xingchen put his arms around her waist, feeling extremely happy. He felt that he and she had been close for a long time.

The so-called marriage is nothing more than a ceremony to add icing on the cake.

As long as he works harder, perhaps they will have a child soon.

Chu Xingchen's eyes were blazing, his expression and eyes revealing an unconcealable joy. This was the first time he was so eager to become his elder sister's husband, and the first time he was so eager to have a child with her.

Even amidst the greetings and jokes from his tribesmen, he had even sketched out in his mind a picture of him and her in the future, with children and grandchildren, and growing old together.

If my sister gives birth to a girl in the future, she will definitely look like her, gentle, cute, kind and beautiful.

Then teach your daughter to be a lady from a noble family.

If my sister gave birth to a boy in the future, he would look more like him. If it was a boy, he should learn martial arts and study from a young age. Martial arts can strengthen one's will, and studying can help one learn knowledge and be well-mannered.

For the first time, Chu Xingchen felt a sense of anticipation for his future life.

Su Yingxue felt sad in her heart, but she had a nonchalant smile on her face. She really didn't want to tell the truth, nor did she want to ruin the joy of her tribe members.

In the end, she could only smile softly and nodded, "Okay."

"When everything is settled in the future, I will marry you." Su Yingxue lowered her eyelids and closed her eyes, so that her lie would not be discovered.

After all, after the palace banquet, everything will restart.

Chu Xingchen, before that, you must find a way to get your people out of your control.

Everything you hold, I will take back from you. Su Yingxue swore secretly in her heart.

After the palace banquet, you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Now, I will just treat it as one last attempt to comfort you and make you happy.
