Chapter: 170.4 out of 171
(T/N: Umm… The author really doesn’t care about consent.)
Wei Luo’s furrowed her eyebrows and reminded him, “My wrist…” Although she was thankful to him for applying the medicine, she couldn’t let him keep holding onto her wrist.
However, before she could finish speaking, Li Song pressed her down onto the bed in the next second.
One of Li Song’s hands was by the side of her face to brace himself over her and the other hand was tenaciously holding onto her wrist. With a calm face, he called out, “Wei Luo.”
Wei Luo tilted her head to look at the face above her. When she tried to wiggle away, her body was restraint even more. She asked, “What are you doing? Let go of me.”
Li Song didn’t let her go. He stared at her for a long time before leaning down and slowly embracing her entire body until his face was carefully touching her face. He had longed for this intimate touch for too long. Even though she was right in his arms, he couldn’t believe this was real. She was so delicate and small. As it turned out, this is what hugging her felt like. Li Song sucked the bottom of her exquisite earlobe and very carefully kept licking it in small circles.
Half of Wei Luo’s body felt numb from his licking. She stretched her hand out to push him away. However, no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t push him away. Inevitably, she yelled in anger and annoyance, “Let go of me!”
Unexpectedly, Li Song suddenly viciously bit her earlobe. Wei Luo was caught off guard. She yelped and tears came out from her eyes because of the pain.
After Li Song bit her, he still kept the tip of her earlobe in his mouth and gently licked it to comfort her and to also comfort himself.
At this point, Wei Luo didn’t dare to move. She was scared that he would suddenly do something crazy like biting her again.
Li Song’s arms gradually tightened around her as he let go her earlobe. He lowered his forehead into the space between her neck and shoulder and slowly said, “I’ll help you deal with Du-shi so that you can return to Duke Ying’s residence… In return, marry me.”
Wei Luo’s eyes widened until they were circles. Perhaps, this person was mentally ill. Flustered, she tried pushing him away again. “You… What are you saying?! Why?”
Li Song allowed her to push him, but he still tightly held her and didn’t budge at all. He said, “There’s no reason.”
He wanted her. He really wanted her. He had thought about her for two lifetimes.
How could Wei Luo possibly agree? After she had escaped from Long Shou Village, she had a phobia towards marriage. Besides, she didn’t even know this person. Who would agree to marry a total stranger? Wei Luo treated it as if there was something wrong with his brain. After struggling for a long time, she finally escaped from underneath his body and avoided him by sitting in the far corner of the arhat bed. She drew her clothes together and watched him with vigilance.
Wei Luo bit her lip and said, “I want to leave.”
Li Song slowly sat up. There wasn’t any change to his expression. He asked, “Where can you go? Do you have any place to stay in the capital?” He looked at the young girl across from him and saw that her face had turned white as expected. His heart softened without reason and he added, “Just stay here for the next few days. If you need anything, tell Lu Shi. He’ll listen to your orders.” After saying this, he quietly sat there for a short period of time before standing up and leaving.

Li Song was right. Wei Luo didn’t have anywhere else to go.
On the way from Long Shou Village to the capital, she had already used up her money for traveling expenses. It was already good enough if didn’t go hungry each day, much less have a place to stay. Before meeting Li Song, her days had been rough. During the past few days of staying at Li Song’s house, she had servant girls to help dress in the morning, ate sumptuous meals at lunchtime, and took hot baths at night. Her life was so comfortable that she felt rather uneasy.
When she woke up every morning, she thought of Li Song’s words.
Why did he want to marry her? She had heard from the servants that he was Prince Ru Yang’s heir. Then, why did he become interested in her? Wei Luo couldn’t figure out the answer.
During this period, Li Song frequently came here. Although he didn’t say much, Wei Luo knew that he was waiting for her answer. When he looked at her with his profound, pitch-black eyes, that gaze… It made Wei Luo feel a sense of desolateness for an inexplicable reason.
She couldn’t describe what he was feeling. It seemed as if he had very complicated feelings towards her. There was love and there was also hate. But, when she compared the amount of hate with the amount of love, the amount of hate was clearly insignificant. Wei Luo felt even more confused. They had only seen each other twice before he invited her to stay here. There was no reason for him to feel this way, right?

Wei Luo had stayed here for several days. After she finished dinner, Li Song came by.
Wei Luo was just about to go look for him. He had come at the right time. She sat up from the arhat bed and said, “I… I have something I want to say to you.”
Li Song didn’t sit down. He looked at her and asked, “Have you thought about your answer?”
Wei Luo blinked, “En?”
He asked, “Will you marry me?”
Wei Luo’s face suddenly turned red. She looked away from him and said, “That’s not what I want to talk about.”
Li Song stayed silent.
Wei Luo paused and said the words that had been fermenting in her heart, “Thank you very much for letting me stay here during the past several days. But, I can’t keep staying here. If you agree, I’ll leave here today. I feel embarrassed that I bothered you for so many days. I’ll definitely come back on another day to thank you.”
A long time after Wei Luo had finished these words, Li Song still hadn’t said a single word.
Wei Luo raised her eyes to look at him and repeated, “I want to leave.”
Seeing that he still wasn’t showing a reaction, Wei Luo treated it as if he had tacitly agreed. Wei Luo stood up from the arhat bed. Just as she was walking around Li Song, he unexpectedly suddenly stopped her by leaning over and heavily pushing her down onto the arhat bed.
Wei Luo only had time to say, “You…”, before Li Song fiercely blocked her mouth. He sucked and nipped her lips. He wouldn’t give her the chance to speak, much less allow her to leave.
Li Song was remarkably like a wolf that had been starving for a long time. After seizing Wei Luo’s lips, he wouldn’t let go. He forcefully opened her teeth and barged into her mouth to capture her wildly moving tongue in one bite.
Wei Luo couldn’t successfully resist against these aggressive actions at all. After she struggled for a long time, she gradually softened and fell into his arms to pitifully whimper.
A long time later, Li Song finally stopped, but he didn’t let go of her. He slowly and gently kissed the corners of her lips, chin, and every spot on her face. Li Song’s breathing became heavy and his voice was slow and hoarse as he said, “What will you use to thank me?”
