Chapter 269 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 38
She gently took Xie Wanheng's hand and sat him down in the chair: "Wanheng, it's so cold outside. You had a headache this morning and you didn't even think of putting on an extra layer of clothes when you went out."
Xie Wanheng held her hand tightly: "I was thinking about Cang Cang so much that I didn't even notice how cold it was. Cang Cang, can you warm my hands for me?"
Shen Weicang pinched his palm and said angrily, "I don't think Wanheng's hands are cold at all, why do you need me to warm them up for you?"
She pulled her hand out, sat down in another chair, and poured a cup of tea for Xie Wanheng:
"You were called away by General Xie this morning, and you suddenly had a headache. I still have something to tell you."
Xie Wanheng took the tea and held her hand and the cup together: "But what trouble did you encounter?"
"It was Miss Tan who said she wanted to take me to the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace," Shen Weicang was a little embarrassed.
"I don't want to go. With my status, even if the young lady of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion takes me there, I'm afraid there won't be a seat for me. I'm so scared to face so many people at that time."
Xie Wanheng didn’t know whether Tan Wuning also had memories of his past life, but since he and Yan Qizhao were both reborn, it was not surprising that Tan Wuning would be reborn as well.
Or maybe this is an unbreakable cycle of reincarnation, and what he thinks is his first life may not be his real first life, it’s just that his memory only goes back to that life.
Could it be that because of her misunderstanding of my actions in the previous life, she was so hostile towards Cang Cang?
Thinking of this, Xie Wanheng felt even more resentful towards that slutty Tan Yuan. If he hadn't asked him to return the favor, how could Tan Wu Ning have become even more obsessed?
He originally thought that Tan Wuning in the first life was the cause, but it turned out that the two lives were cause and effect of each other.
A chill ran through his heart. If Cang Cang had not appeared, wouldn't he and Yan Qizhao and Tan Wuning have to reincarnate like this for eternity, living in aimless pain forever?
It seems that he needs to find Tan Wuning to clarify these things.
"Cang Cang doesn't need to pay attention to her, and doesn't need to go to the New Year's Eve party with her," he comforted Shen Weicang, "I will accompany Cang Cang that day, and we will stay up together until the New Year's Eve."
Shen Weicang asked curiously, "Wan Heng, you're not going either? I thought you would go to the palace, and I thought if you went, I would have someone to accompany me."
Xie Wanheng shook his head: "I don't have any official position now, unless I go with my father."
He just couldn't sit with Xie Zheng for a few hours.
At this point, he couldn't help but think of Lan Zhinian's visit to Chen State. He couldn't help but stand up and walk to Shen Weicang's side and hug her: "Cangcang, can we wait a few years before getting married?"
marriage?
Shen Weicang had long forgotten what she had casually agreed to, but she quickly reacted and looked up at Xie Wanheng with some grievance:
"Why? I will be eighteen next year. If I wait a few more years, I will be old. Wan Heng, if you don't want to marry me, you can just say so. Why are you dragging me along like this?"
Xie Wanheng bent down and coaxed her:
"Cang Cang, it's not that I want to hold you back, but I haven't established my career yet. If you get married now, you will have to consider other people's faces when you meet those high-ranking officials in the royal family when you go out in the future."
Shen Weicang turned around and snuggled in his arms, wrapping his arms around his waist and feeling the firmness of his waist and abdomen.
"Men should start a family first and then a career," she deliberately seduced Xie Wanheng, "It won't be too late for Wanheng to start a career after we get married. I will accompany you then."
Xie Wanheng smiled helplessly, feeling both sour and sweet in his heart. Although he was deeply moved by Cang Cang's words, how could he let Cang Cang really suffer grievances with him.
"Cang Cang, how could I let you accompany me? This road is not so easy to walk on. It's too dangerous."
Shen Weicang asked him ignorantly: "How do you want to establish your career? Most of the men in our Yan State take the imperial examinations, and my brother is one of them."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, thinking of her family, and her tone became low:
"My parents wanted to build connections for my brother and send me to high-ranking officials, so I came to the State of Chen."
"Wan Heng, you are the second son of the General Protector of the Nation. If you choose a career in politics, it will definitely be much better than my brother. How can you still be in danger?"
Xie Wanheng could tell that the person in his arms was a little sad, so he comforted her softly:
"Cang Cang has suffered a lot. You have suffered so much injustice in the past. How can I let you continue to suffer injustice after marrying me? What's the point of marrying me then?"
He explained:
"The new emperor of Yan has ascended the throne and is coming to Chen. He has always been keen on fighting wars and expansion. He must be coming to Chen with the intention of tearing up the peace treaty and provoking a war. The Lan family is the best excuse."
"When the time comes, I will go to the battlefield to defend my country and also find a way for myself. If I become a civil servant, I don't know when I can hold power. This way is the fastest."
Shen Weicang became worried: "But this road is also the most dangerous. It's not that easy to exchange your future for fighting on the battlefield. Wan Heng, I don't want you to be in danger."
She laughed secretly in her heart. When it comes to decisiveness in killing and imperial counseling, Lan Zhinian is indeed better than Lan Zhicheng, but he always acts against the rules, which does make it easy for others to misunderstand him.
The reason why Shen Weicang was sure that Lan Jinian had no intention of turning against the State of Chen for the time being was because he was busy preparing for the ceremony of establishing the queen and could not spare the time to spare.
He also told her that in the next few years he would bring the tribes west of Yan under the rule of Yan.
Although Lan Zhinian loved to fight, he was not stupid. The national strength of Chen was comparable to that of Yan. Yan had just experienced a transition from the old to the new regime. It would be of no benefit for him to start a war with Chen.
He was indeed thinking about conquering the State of Chen, but certainly not in the next few years.
Xie Wanheng was about to cry again. He was so important in Cang Cang's heart. It was true that he and Cang Cang were a marriage that had been exchanged for several lifetimes. They were a couple destined by heaven.
"It is precisely because of the danger that I cannot marry you before then."
He also wanted to marry his sweetheart as soon as possible and never be separated from her, but he could not act so irresponsibly. Doing so would be beneficial to him, but unfair to Cang Cang.
"If I really get injured or...or die on the battlefield, how can I hinder your marriage?"
"Cang Cang, it's only a few years. I won't let you wait too long. If I still can't achieve fame in three years, you...you will marry someone else."
three years?
How dare he think about it, how could he make her, Shen Weicang, wait for three years? She would return to Yan State after the New Year.
Shen Weicang was deeply moved and hugged him: "No, Wanheng, I will always wait for you, wait for you to marry me."
She suddenly stood up from the chair, held the boy's cheeks with both hands and kissed him. Xie Wanheng's bent waist made it convenient for her.
The sweet fragrance hit Xie Wanheng's nose, and he was surprised and delighted. First, it was Shen Weicang's tender words, and second, it was her initiative to kiss him.
He secretly made up his mind to get the best of everything so that Cang Cang could live the rest of his life without worries.
His sweetheart clung to his chest tenderly, as if he was her only support. Xie Wanheng hugged her waist tightly, his desire to protect her growing stronger.
Shen Weicang grabbed his shoulders with one hand and tightly grasped his collar with the other. Xie Wanheng remained bent over, and she kissed him effortlessly.
After a long kiss, Shen Weicang pushed him away, blushing, and said softly, "Wan Heng, I will always wait for you."
Xie Wanheng hugged her tightly: "I will never let Cang Cang down."
