“Waiting for me?” I frowned in confusion, suddenly feeling a sense of unease: “Waiting for what?”
He slightly curved his lips, calmly stating: “Waiting to tell you something!”
I impatiently urged: “Can you explain it more clearly?”
He laughed casually: “Actually, it’s nothing, just want to tell you that I plan to send you back to the Prince’s Mansion!”
I immediately withdrew my hand from his shoulder, looking wary: “Who said I’m going back?”
He slightly raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat innocent: “But I’ve already sent someone to the Prince’s Mansion. Xuan will probably arrive soon, which means you have about the time of a tea cup to escape. If you don’t want to go back, then I can only wish you good luck!”
Damn, I thought the one inside was annoying enough, but this one outside is equally troublesome. Brothers indeed born from the same womb. I suppressed my urge to bite, glaring at him: “Why are you doing this?”
Wei Feng shrugged, with a matter-of-fact expression: “Didn’t you say that the three of us caused you to run away from home? Now, I’m just trying to make amends. Separating a newlywed couple would make me feel uneasy.”
I narrowed my eyes, coldly warning him: “Believe me, if I go back, you’ll be even more uneasy!”
He didn’t care, shrugging and smiling: “You have half a tea cup’s time to escape. Are you sure you want to stay here and discuss how uneasy I’ll be?”
Immediately, I exclaimed and didn’t bother to say more, grabbing my bundle and running into the street. After running a few steps, I heard him casually remind: “By the way, you’re running in the wrong direction!”
I was stunned, turned and ran the other way, running while making faces at him: “I will definitely take revenge!”
But I was so focused on escaping that I forgot to think about an important question: Why would he repeatedly remind me if he was deliberately trying to let Qi Chenxuan find me? By the time I realized this, it was too late. Qi Chenxuan was standing right in front, his face cold with anger!
Seeing his expression like he wanted to eat me alive, my little heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of my mouth…
Damn, he was using delaying tactics to give Qi Chenxuan time to catch me. I was so stupid to believe his seemingly well-intentioned reminders!
What should I do now?
Helplessly, I stopped and smiled awkwardly: “Hehe… hehehe… Oh, it’s you? What a coincidence… hehe…”
He didn’t even look at me, directly ordering his men: “Take the madam back!”
“Two guards behind him stepped forward, bowing respectfully: ‘Madam, please!’
This doesn’t look like a request; it’s clearly forcing me!
My life is full of helplessness. Although I’m reluctant, I could only purse my lips and obediently follow them to the Prince’s Mansion.
Sigh, I wonder what punishment that little guy will give me this time!
Blame those damn brothers! I must take revenge! As long as I, Fei Xiaoran, can come back alive, I’ll definitely turn the Royal Prince’s Mansion upside down.
‘Madam, madam?’
As soon as I entered the mansion gate, Zui’er and Shui’er hurried to meet me: ‘Madam, where did you go? We were so worried…’
I turned away coldly, snorting: ‘You two know how to worry about me? When I was locked up yesterday, I didn’t see either of you come to see me?’
The two maids immediately cried out in injustice: ‘Last night, as soon as we heard madam was locked in the woodshed, we rushed to beg the prince for mercy. We knelt outside for a whole hour before he agreed to let us see madam. But when we prepared food to find you, we discovered you were already gone!’
I rolled my eyes, pretending not to see their actions: ‘That’s because you’re both stupid…’
The two maids lowered their heads: ‘We didn’t mean to…’
So, in a word: stupid!”
I couldn’t be bothered with them, turning directly to Qi Chenxuan: “Hey, if I’m not mistaken, I left a divorce letter for you, right? Since we no longer have a relationship, why did you bring me back?”
“Divorce, divorce letter?
Hearing this, Qi Chenxuan’s expression slightly changed, as if forcibly suppressing something, yet he did not speak. Instead, the two young maids tugged at my sleeve, whispering, “Madam, what are you talking about?”
“Ah—” I struggled to break free from their hands, puffing out my cheeks and shouting loudly, “I’m not talking nonsense, I really did leave a divorce letter for that guy!”
“Are you talking about this?”
Qi Chenxuan pulled out a white paper dotted with ink stains from his chest, then tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
I furrowed my brow, staring at him in confusion, “What are you doing?”
Qi Chenxuan loosened his hand, and the paper fragments transformed into countless white butterflies. Then, his emotionless voice rang out, “Listen carefully, unless I no longer want you first, you will always be a concubine in this prince’s mansion!”
I immediately protested, “Why? I refuse!” Why can men divorce and remarry, while women must remain loyal to one man? This is unfair…
But I forgot that I was in an old society where male supremacy prevailed, and the concept of fairness was as unrealistic as a fantasy!
Sure enough, Qi Chenxuan’s face turned cold as he said grimly, “Just because I am the master here, I am your heaven, and everything here is decided by me. So, you have no say in this!”
Feeling indignant, I could only grit my teeth and glare at him, “Qi Chenxuan, don’t go too far! I’m telling you, I’m divorcing today, whether you acknowledge it or not. In any case, I don’t want you anymore! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other…”
Before her words could fade, a large hand suddenly fell on her neck, and Qi Chenxuan’s warning voice followed, “Woman, do not try to challenge my patience!”
I curled my lips disdainfully, sneering, “So, the mighty prince relies on threats to make women submit!”
Qi Chenxuan narrowed his eyes, carefully examining me before releasing his hand, “It seems I truly know too little about you!”
I raised my head slightly, feeling a bit smug inside.
Little did I know, his next sentence would immediately drag me from the clouds back to the valley, “But this prince has plenty of time to slowly get to know you!”
Seeing his triumphant smile, I couldn’t help but shiver, looking at him warily, “What exactly do you want?”
Qi Chenxuan slightly raised the corner of his lips, his smile carrying a hint of evil, “Nothing! I just want to show you how this prince conquers women, lest someone later says I only use threatening tactics to make women submit!”
I snorted coldly, disdainfully curling my lips, “Bring it on! I’ll be watching with open eyes!”
But, I have a condition.
The guy immediately revealed a victorious smile, about to speak, when I quickly added, “However, I have a condition!”
“Go ahead,” he raised an eyebrow.
“Three months – the deadline we set in our last bet. You must make me completely submit to you within three months. Otherwise, you must acknowledge the validity of the divorce letter and let me leave…”
“This…”
That guy couldn’t help but hesitate a bit.
Seeing his expression, I immediately gave him a contemptuous look and sneered, “What, are you scared?”
That guy immediately curled his lips disdainfully, “Nonsense! How could this prince be afraid? I just think three months is too long to demonstrate my true capabilities!”
Although I understood he was making excuses, I still went along with his words, “Fine, if you think three months is too long, let’s make it one month. I’d like to see just how capable you are, Your Highness. With so many witnesses here, you can’t back out later!”
Qi Chenxuan’s expression changed several times before he finally put on a cool pose and said, “Rest assured, this prince will definitely do what he says!” Then he left everyone behind and walked away alone…
