Chapter 165 Are You His Majesty?!
"You...you are His Majesty?!"
Yueli's expression could be described as seeing a ghost.
Surprise, shock, and anger at feeling like I was being fooled.
Her breathing stagnated slightly, and her round almond-shaped eyes stared at him warily, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
He is His Majesty, so what has he been doing these days? Deliberately teasing her and Xiao Mingcheng?
Although Yueli knew that she was beautiful, she was not so narcissistic as to think that the emperor with three thousand beauties in his harem would fall in love with her after just a few encounters. At best, he was just coveting her beauty, or enjoying the sense of taboo and wanted to have a fleeting romance with her.
No wonder.
No wonder Xiao Mingcheng was so respectful to him in his private residence in Jingyun Mountain that day.
No wonder his food, clothing, housing and transportation are so luxurious, and he can give her priceless jade pendants and clothes at will.
Everything seemed to make sense.
He Yanchen saw her wary look, and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.
But he was not being disrespectful towards Yue Li, but towards those tactless people outside the door.
He still had that carefree look on his face, and he twitched the corners of his lips: "Didn't you hear everything?"
"I did hide my identity from you."
When Yueli heard him call himself "I", her last bit of hope was gone.
She was angry and anxious, and turned and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
He Yanchen quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. While Yue Li was struggling, he pressed her against the door panel.
Xiao Mingcheng and others were outside the door, and she suddenly didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered.
"Are you angry?" He Yanchen lowered his head to look into her eyes. "I didn't mean to lie to you. I just haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
Yueli didn't believe it, he was just using himself for excitement.
He said that it is difficult to get along with the people in Xiao Mingcheng's family. Are the people in the palace easy to get along with?
Although Yue Li had never been to the palace, she knew that the current emperor already had a wife and a prince, not to mention his many concubines. So, she only had to deal with a few people in the Xiao family, but she had to deal with dozens of people in the palace.
Besides, he never said he would take her into the palace.
Yueli became even angrier, thinking that he was just talking nonsense and just wanted to play with her.
He had enough fun and left, so what should she do?
By then, he won’t even be able to find a backer like Xiao Mingcheng.
"Let me go..." Yue Li lowered her voice, with a hint of anger in her bright almond-shaped eyes.
He Yanchen saw her eyes changing back and forth, and could probably guess what she was thinking. He jokingly said, "Xiao Yueli, be reasonable. Didn't I warn you a long time ago?"
Yue Li's eyes were filled with confusion. He Yanchen didn't know whether to call her slow-witted or stupid. He said helplessly, "He is the national surname. Don't you know?"
Yueli shook her head blankly.
She had been far away in Jiangning, barely able to afford food and clothing, so how could she possibly care about the emperor's name? It had nothing to do with her.
"So, I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago. If you had asked just one more question, you would have known my identity."
Yueli suddenly realized that he had given her a reminder.
But in a moment she felt something was wrong. She was angry, but after knowing the identity of this person, she didn't dare to say anything too much. She could only say depressedly: "Then why don't you just say it directly? You are lying to me..."
He Yanchen leaned his hands on the door, bent down slightly and looked at her: "If you knew, you would have stayed away from me a long time ago."
That was true. Yue Li thought that if she had known this person's identity when Xiao Mingcheng came to find her that day, she would have only felt awe and stayed away from him. After all, her current identity and situation were very embarrassing, and she really didn't dare to cause trouble for herself.
If it was him she had met in Jiangning, Yue Li thought, she would have had the courage to seduce him.
But it was useless to think more, Yue Li turned her head away: "Your Majesty, can you let me go? I want to go back."
He Yanchen's eyes gradually darkened. Was she unwilling to follow him into the palace, or was she unable to forget her old love for Xiao Mingcheng?
He didn't want it to be the latter.
"No matter who I am, what I just said to you is not a lie." He Yanchen stroked her cheek with one hand, "I will take you into the palace and give you wealth and glory. Isn't this what you want?"
His hand slowly slid down the woman's fair cheek, pinched her jaw, and lowered his head to kiss her again.
"Hmm..." Yue Liben was weighing the pros and cons in her mind, but her thoughts were suddenly disrupted by his actions.
The man's kiss went from gentle and tender to fierce and brutal.
The door behind them banged as the two of them moved. Yue Li was so scared that she grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands.
Is he trying to force her to submit?
If she was seen by someone outside, she would be doomed!
Yueli's almond-shaped eyes were wet and red, and she bit his lips hard.
A faint smell of blood spread between her lips and teeth. He Yanchen let her go. Yue Li was kissed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her chest kept heaving.
"Your Majesty, are you going to force me?"
He Yanchen laughed angrily: "If I really wanted to force you, would I have to be so roundabout?"
He sneered, exerted force with his hands, and pushed open the door behind her.
Yue Li was so frightened that she almost screamed. She quickly hid in his arms, burying her little face in his chest, afraid that Xiao Mingcheng would see her.
Looking at the woman whose shoulders were trembling in his arms, He Yanchen felt a little soft-hearted. After all, she couldn't act as recklessly as he did.
He patted the woman on the back: "They've left."
Ji Ming is not a fool. He knows what he and Yue Li are doing in there, so he naturally won't let Xiao Mingcheng and others stay outside for long.
Yue Li then looked back fearfully, and sure enough, the corridor was quiet, with no one there, including Ji Ming.
She couldn't help crying with her lips pursed.
He Yanchen sighed softly, why are you crying?
He bent down and cupped the girl's face. "Okay, it's my fault. Stop crying."
He Yanchen had obviously never coaxed a woman before, so he could only put on a stern face and clumsily use his sleeves to wipe Yue Li's tears. But the person in front of him just couldn't stop crying, and the more he coaxed her, the more excited she became.
"Don't cry." The man said in a stern voice.
Yueli didn't dare to cry when she heard that. She pursed her lips, tears hanging on her eyelashes, and she looked very pitiful, as if she was about to fall.
"I won't force you, I won't force you, okay?"
"Really...really?" Yue Li didn't quite believe him.
He Yanchen snorted coldly, turned around and walked downstairs: "Okay, follow me, I'll take you back."
In the carriage, Yueli secretly glanced at the man's expression and asked tentatively: "Can you take me back to the villa?"
He Yanchen was now filled with rage. Seeing her timid and pitiful appearance, he couldn't hit her or scold her. She would cry if he spoke to her.
He is really bored.
Yue Li didn't hear the reply, but an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Xiao family's villa.
Xiao Mingcheng was coming out anxiously when he was caught off guard by seeing Yue Li getting off the carriage.
The appearance of this carriage was very low-key. Before Xiao Mingcheng had time to ask, he saw the curtain being lifted.
He Yanchen's sharp eyebrows were hidden in the darkness, and only his tone could be heard: "Xiao Aiqing, the third time is the limit. If you can't even manage people well again, I will help you manage it."
