Shan Xiaoya, desperately holding her breath, felt a massive change in the water surface as a dark shadow jumped in. She knew it was definitely Hu Yannan. Fortunately, he had jumped in now; a moment later, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on. She stretched her arms upward, kicked her legs casually, and floated up, quickly swimming to the surface and climbing out… Breathing heavily, she ignored her wet clothes clinging to her body.
She gently pushed back her hair that had fallen across her face and sat by the flower pool, looking at the water surface…
After jumping into the water, Hu Yannan opened his eyes, trying to find the woman he had just thrown in. If she had truly drowned, he couldn’t explain it to the emperor. After searching the bottom twice, he found no trace of her. Even if she had drowned, there should be a body.
Huyan Nan disbelievingly poked his head out of the water again. Sure enough, sitting on the shore was a woman completely soaked, looking disheveled, but her contemptuous gaze was obvious… The first thought that entered his mind was that he had been tricked. While he was searching in the water, she had been sitting on the shore watching him…
Huyan Nan swam to the shore with a dark expression, narrowing his eyes and looking at Shan Xiaoya. He reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his anger. “You’re something else, daring to play with me.”
Shan Xiaoya didn’t move, letting him grip her chin. Her eyes were cold as she looked into his, disdainfully curling her lips. “You threw me down, I didn’t ask you to jump down, right?”
Huyan Nan frowned, his emotionless face now covered with a layer of coldness. “What a sharp-tongued woman, believe it or not, I’ll make you mute?” As he spoke, he increased the force of his fingers.
The pain on her chin made Shan Xiaoya lightly furrow her brow, her disdain even more apparent. “Believe it! You don’t even blink when killing, what can’t you do? But, don’t forget, I’m the princess of Manyi Country. Before touching me, you’d better think carefully.”
At this moment, Shan Xiaoya realized that her princess status still had some use.
Huyan Nan nearly roared, “You’re threatening me?”
