Chapter 1751: Chapter 1750 Bad Example
Qiao Xiaomai felt really annoyed in her heart. Look at the bad example she’s set—she’s been tangled up over this issue with Tong Sanlang, and now Bei Lingsu has also started to dwell on it because of her.
She took a deep breath and said, “He’s a prince. In that situation, he had to consider the dignity of Daqi. The sins Bei Yun committed were too many. He wasn’t pressuring you—he was giving an explanation to the people present.”
“The people who came to watch that day were either wealthy or noble, all part of Daqi’s upper class. What he did was for those people to see.”
“His intention wasn’t to make you uncomfortable. He has his own constraints. Even though he’s a prince, think carefully—since you’ve met him, hasn’t he been busy every single day? He’s not the kind of prince who enjoys a life of luxury. He’s been running around like a spinning top, defending Daqi.”
Bei Lingsu blinked after hearing her explanation and nodded, saying, “I know he’s an excellent prince, and he truly has his constraints, but don’t those constraints prove that he still puts me in second place?”
“I’m not his first priority. He places Daqi and the people ahead of me.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
She couldn’t help but extend her hand and rub her face heavily. Taking another deep breath, she continued, “Do you really need to pressure him into ranking his priorities?”
“A smart girl wouldn’t do that—it could very well lead to him developing a rebellious mindset. Look at me, I fought with Tong Sanlang for two and a half years, and we still haven’t reconciled. What’s the use of forcing these kinds of questions? Take a look at my situation with Tong Sanlang—do you want to end up like us?”
“Your situation is different.”
“So you also know my situation is different? Back then, he went to great lengths and risked his life to save his mother. I worried myself sick for a month, braving the bumps and jolts of the road, spanning half of Daqi just to find him. When I finally found him, I learned he’d barely escaped death. I was furious then—absolutely livid—and that anger drove me to force him to make a choice.”
“But you saw the result. A whole two and a half years of entanglement, and we never came to a conclusion.”
“You and the Prince of Wei didn’t face anything like my situation, so why pressure him into a risky position and force him to make a choice?”
“Besides, have you truly placed him at the center of your heart? If I asked you now to choose between him and the Bei family, what would you pick?” Qiao Xiaomai countered.
“My family doesn’t stop me from marrying him,” Bei Lingsu replied.
“So why, in a calm and stable environment, would you want to place him in a perilous situation and force him to make a choice?” Qiao Xiaomai asked, perplexed.
“Shouldn’t perfect love mean that both people see each other as the most important?” Bei Lingsu asked. “That’s how the characters are in those novels written by Tong Gongzi.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Oh, damn!
Romance novels are harmful!
The first book *Heaven Sent Romance* was careful in its portrayal because it involved Yang Wenxiao, so Tong Sanlang was cautious in writing it, and the ideology it promoted was fine.
But by the time he wrote the second book, he and she had already had a falling-out, so his core themes shifted—making the male lead swear eternal love to the female lead and even vow to give up the entire world for her. When he was writing it, she didn’t pay much attention. Little did she know, Bei Lingsu would remember it now.
“That’s fiction. Fiction is derived from life but detaches from and elevates life,” Qiao Xiaomai patiently argued.
“But I think that kind of love is so beautiful. And since the story’s prototype is him and me, the fictional version of him can do it, but the real version can’t—it feels a bit strange to me,” Bei Lingsu said.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Good grief!
She’d set a terrible example!
