She frowned slightly, trying to move her fair wrists, which were starting to ache from his grip. "Let go of me first," she said in a low voice.
Changfan chuckled, his voice holding a cold sort of mercy. "Why must you be so disobedient?"
Shen Lang was inwardly thrilled, but her expression only grew more furious. "Me? Yes, I'm disobedient! I'm not as compliant as your precious eldest disciple. Why don't you go find her, then? What's the point of marrying me?"
Changfan didn't understand why she was throwing a fit.
'Is it true what they say? That women and petty men are the most difficult to handle?'
His gaze darkened slightly as he leaned in, wrapping his arms around her slender back. He parted his lips. "I don't know why you are angry, but whatever you ask, your master will do his best to grant it."
'That won't do at all.'
'Shen Lang's entire goal was to be unreasonable and cause a scene. She wanted to show him how cruel the world could be, to make him never want to marry her.'
