The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"From now on, if any accidents happen, you can't expect me to take responsibility for you, nor can you ask me to do unreasonable things."

Tang Rao's bottom line is that he resolutely cannot be used by others. The feeling of being used is very unpleasant, and at least for Tang Rao, it is currently unacceptable.

"I promise you."

Chen Jingyi didn't set any limits or demands for Tang Rao; she just hoped to marry Tang Rao and become his woman, nothing more.

After all, Chen Jingyi has settled down and can well manage to remain on East Island as the Island Master's daughter without thinking about revenge, which is already a rare achievement. She had braved a difficult period, and the worst outcome now would be better than she had imagined.

"Your father won't regret it, right? Back then, I was so decisive in telling him to leave and not marry you. He probably still holds a grudge. Let me make this clear first: I won't get involved. If you need to convince him, you must do it yourself, don't come to me."

Chen Jingyi had anticipated that Tang Rao wouldn't bow down to Chen Jingtian, and since he wouldn't, Chen Jingyi would handle it herself; she could swallow her pride.

"Don't worry, I have the final say, and as long as I'm here, my dad won't make things difficult for you."

Chen Jingyi quickly put the good words upfront, fearing that Tang Rao might regret being with her over some trivial matters.

This way, she could claim to be quite foresighted.

A marriage concerning 'interests' was agreed upon just like that.

A marriage with the East Island Master's daughter was settled so simply.

When Tang Rao was pulled outside by Chen Jingyi, a crowd of people eyed them with mixed looks of confusion and envy.

"So you closed the door and talked for such a long time, and this is the result you wanted?"

The least likely person to be angry got angry.

Fang Jinxiu didn't get angry; You Xiaoxiao didn't get angry either. None of those women got angry, except for Li Shengxuan.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Tang Rao, unable to believe that the man who had promised never to bring another woman back once he did bring one home again was now talking about himself and another woman when Li Shengxuan was busy worrying about her child.

Her Xiao Bai was still outside. Although Tang Rao said that Tang Xiaobai was staying with the Tang Family on Central Island and would be safe there, to a mother, her son is only safe in her arms. She could only be at ease when she saw him beside her, in her arms.

She missed her son every minute, while the man thought about women outside every minute. How could a man like Tang Rao, who maintains such a serious and responsible attitude towards people and things, do such a thing?

"Shengxuan, let me explain."

Li Shengxuan hadn't spoken yet, and just seeing the two of them held together made her break down, and she started crying as soon as she opened her mouth.

Her heart was full of grievances, and currently, she couldn't even explain what she truly felt.

"I only trust what my eyes see and my heart feels; I don't want to hear anything else. Tang Rao, you liar!"

Li Shengxuan turned and ran.

The women only noticed Li Shengxuan's abnormal expression but didn't expect her to lose her temper in front of so many people and directly run away.

After knowing her for so many years, everyone understood her very well. Unless she was truly grievously wronged, she wouldn't act so irrationally.

"Why are you still standing here? Shengxuan ran off; shouldn't you hurry up and chase her!"

Wang Han walked over to remind Tang Rao, nearly kicking him awake from behind.

Initially, Tang Rao was somewhat reluctant, partly because no woman had ever walked off in a huff like Li Shengxuan did, and partly because he had just gotten together with Chen Jingyi. He couldn't just abandon Chen Jingyi because of Li Shengxuan's little temper tantrum; Chen Jingyi hadn't done anything wrong.

"Tang Rao, Shengxuan has been in a bad mood lately, and Xiao Bai almost had an accident. She's been worrying about Xiao Bai every day, and I guess the pressure is pretty high; why don't you go look for Shengxuan?"

"Yes, Shengxuan hasn't slept well for several days because of Xiao Bai. She's just too exhausted, and that's why she's throwing a fit. I believe if you go comfort her, she won't be angry anymore."

Tu Hongxiu persuaded, Wang Han persuaded, yet Tang Rao didn't budge until Chen Jingyi came out, and his eyes finally showed a hint of movement.

"Tang Rao, they seem to view our relationship as too complicated. Should I explain to them?"

Chen Jingyi only strives for a clear conscience in her actions; she is quite straightforward.

"The reason we're together is pretty unique, not like you imagine."

Chen Jingyi had just started when Tang Rao impatiently cut in: "Enough, don't say anymore."

He didn't want people to speak clearly because he didn't want more people knowing about his background or sympathizing with him.

If everyone treated Tang Rao with sympathy, he'd always be a pitiable figure in their eyes and would never truly mature.

"Tang Rao, do you want all your friends to misunderstand? I hope that your family knows about us and not keep it from them. To cause conflicts between me and your family is the most unprofitable business. You still have time to go after her."

Tang Rao didn't expect Chen Jingyi to persuade him to chase after Li Shengxuan, not feeling that Li Shengxuan's departure had anything to do with her.

Perhaps she thinks being with Tang Rao is just temporary, that they are allied and cooperative, and Tang Rao has no feelings for her. Her approach to affection is Buddhist-like; she simply refrains from fighting or integrating with these women, and to her, it doesn't matter.

"I'll come back and talk to you later."

After saying that, Tang Rao truly went after Li Shengxuan, while Chen Jingyi decided to explain diligently to this group of 'sisters.'

"Dear sisters, Tang Rao and I are only together in name, with no other intentions. You don't need to blame Tang Rao or be wary of me like a thief. While for now we can't tell you the reason, in the future, I will provide you with the full explanation. Please don't blame Tang Rao, okay?"

Chen Jingyi finished her explanation.

But her explanation seemed as if she hadn't explained at all, completely failing to make those around feel any emotional involvement between them.

"So why are you together? You still can't give us an explanation on this point, is that right?"

The questioner was Wang Han, who is qualified to ask.

She is the woman with the most influence in Tang Rao's harem, and she treats all the sisters equally without favoritism or bias.
