Chapter 903: Refusing to admit it
"Xiangxiang, you fell asleep out of nowhere earlier. Were you knocked unconscious?"
When Qi Yunxi saw that Huang Xiangxiang had woken up, he quickly spoke up, saying, "My father is here today to propose marriage. If you have suffered any grievances, you can speak frankly. You don't need to care about anyone's opinion!"
Song Ruozhen glanced at Qi Yunxi, whose face was full of anxiety; he was practically terrified.
Huang Xiangxiang looked at Qi Yunxi in front of her and unconsciously frowned, her expression revealing a hint of confusion.
The next moment, Song Jingheng spoke up, "Xiangxiang, I know you've been annoyed by me lately, but I just want to ask you again today, do you really want to marry Qi Yunxi?"
"Of course, today is the day we agreed to get engaged. If she doesn't want to marry me, does she want to marry you?"
Qi Yunxi was filled with anxiety, and her voice was full of worry.
He learned about that method by chance and initially had no hope; he just wanted to give it a try. However, he later discovered that the effect was surprisingly good.
But now, facing the Crown Princess, he felt uneasy and didn't know if he could really break the curse.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm going to marry Jing Heng, how could I possibly marry you?"
Huang Xiangxiang looked at Qi Yunxi in disbelief, wondering what nonsense this guy was spouting.
She had already made it very clear that she could never like him, but this guy actually blurted out that they were going to get engaged. It's outrageous.
Upon hearing this, Song Jingheng's eyes flashed with intense joy. "Xiangxiang, are you serious?"
"Of course! How can you question that?"
Huang Xiangxiang looked at Song Jingheng with a hurt expression, as if she really couldn't understand why he suddenly doubted their relationship after so many years, when they had long been in sync and promised to be together for life.
Looking at Huang Xiangxiang like this, Madam Huang's eyes flashed with deep surprise.
"Xiangxiang, you're finally alright. I knew you've always loved Jingheng!"
Huang Zhi was secretly delighted at this moment. In fact, after meeting the Crown Princess, he began to look forward to his daughter marrying Song Jingheng.
Although Song Jingheng's background is not as good as Qi Yunxi's, just based on Qi Yunxi's arrogant attitude, even if their daughter marries into the family, she will not have a good life. From now on, their family will have to obey orders.
Although the Crown Princess's attitude was also arrogant today, it felt much better than that of Zhao Xiaoniang and the others; at least she was reasonable.
Huang Xiangxiang felt that everyone's reaction was strange, even though she had never liked Qi Yunxi.
From the moment this guy started pestering her, she made it very clear that she found him utterly annoying. But now everyone is asking her if she likes Qi Yunxi and wants to marry him, which is completely baffling.
Suddenly, Huang Xiangxiang covered her head, feeling a splitting headache.
"what--"
Huang Xiangxiang slumped into the chair, her face turning deathly pale, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Xiangxiang, what's wrong with you?" Song Jingheng asked anxiously.
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Song Ruozhen said, "It's nothing, just a side effect of the previous love curse being lifted. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Memories flooded Huang Xiangxiang's mind like a tidal wave, and she remembered everything that had happened during this period.
She stared wide-eyed in horror, thinking about how she had been wholeheartedly in love with Qi Yunxi all this time, and how she had always been indifferent to Song Jingheng, even telling him time and time again to get lost and not bother her.
Today is the day he is to get engaged to Qi Yunxi.
Thinking of this, when she looked at Song Jingheng again, her eyes revealed a deep sense of guilt, but even more so, a sense of lingering fear and relief.
Fortunately, she wasn't engaged yet, and thankfully, everything was still in time!
"Jingheng, I'm sorry, I really don't understand why I acted that way before!"
With red eyes, Huang Xiangxiang looked at Song Jingheng, and large tears streamed down her face, filled with sorrow.
She had loved Jing Heng since she was a child, and that love had never changed over the years. She had always hoped to marry him, but she ended up hurting him like this!
"It's okay, Xiangxiang, I know you must have had no choice."
Song Jingheng hurriedly wiped away Huang Xiangxiang's tears, saying, "Don't cry. As long as you're alright, I'm happy."
"Your Highness, this is the real Huang Xiangxiang. She looks much more normal now."
Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh. Before, seeing how noisy this girl was, she felt that her own Crown Princess really didn't need to be saved.
Looking at Huang Xiangxiang now, who is quiet and normal, she seems much more pleasing to the eye, and it's not hard to understand why Song Jingheng likes her.
“She has deep feelings for Song Jingheng,” Song Ruozhen explained. “The deeper the feelings, the more intense the reaction after being under the love spell.”
If she hadn't been so aware of this before, she would have thought this girl was really troublesome, but it was precisely because she knew that she also found it really difficult.
When Qi Yunxi saw that Huang Xiangxiang seemed to have figured everything out, her heart skipped a beat. The Crown Princess's metaphysical skills were indeed well-deserved. Was she doomed today?
"What the hell does this happen?"
Qi He frowned. He had clearly noticed something was wrong. The girl seemed to have lost her memory.
This marriage was clearly arranged beforehand, and the Qi family never forced anyone into it. But now it's obvious that this girl likes Song Jingheng. Something's not right!
"Lord Qi, we'll have to ask your son about that."
Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly. "He is, after all, Lord Qi's son. This marriage is supposed to be based on mutual consent. To resort to any means to get the girl he likes, even to the point of casting a love spell on her, isn't that too despicable?"
"Love Curse?"
Qi He was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't quite understand these things, he could roughly guess what they were just from listening.
His own son had to resort to such underhanded means to marry the daughter of a merchant family.
This idiot, has he never seen a woman before?
"Did you do this?"
Qi Yunxi met his father's sharp gaze, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He knew his father's temperament very well; once he got angry, he couldn't bear the consequences.
"Father, I didn't!"
Qi Yunxi denied it without hesitation, "I didn't do anything. This woman is just being opportunistic!"
She used to think that I came from a better family than Song Jingheng, so she kept pestering me. Now that she sees that Song Jingheng has the Crown Princess backing him up, she immediately changed her tune.
Father, I was deceived by her too. If I had known she was this kind of woman, I would never have been with her no matter what!
Upon hearing this, Qi He turned to look at Huang Xiangxiang. It was not surprising at all that a girl from such a family would have such thoughts.
"Your Highness, you heard it too, this is the truth."
