Agares lowered his head, speechless, then shook his head with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence: "Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to be fair and square, and that all's fair in war?"

The hand holding Jiang Si against his chest had a red twig as a weapon to defeat him.

She was brimming with confidence, and then spoke in a crisp voice: "Of course, I win..."

Jiang Si felt a weight on the back of her neck, her voice stopped abruptly, her eyes widened, and her tone changed: "Bastard, you cheated?"

Agares rubbed his large hand against the back of her neck, returning her words: "This isn't trickery, it's all fair in war. The young prince just taught me this, and you don't want to admit it?"

She didn't even realize when his hand was on the back of her neck until she noticed it, because his hand on her neck tightened.

If it weren't for that little bit of force, she wouldn't even realize that the back of her neck was in his hand, meaning that killing her would be an easy thing for him.

To put it more directly, the so-called fighting competition was just him playing with her, indulging her, and spoiling her.

Jiang Si's eyes were red with anger. She puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily, her voice fierce yet childish: "I want to beat you to death."

Agares looked down at her, her face contorted with rage, and spoke again to remind her, "Your Highness, a bet is a bet. Before you kill me, you are at my mercy."

Ginger shreds: "!!!!"

Do we still need to measure that size?

Then raise it with something?

Jiang Si put away the willow branch, grabbed the large hand that was clasped around her neck, opened her mouth and bit his finger, grinding her teeth hard. Feeling uncomfortable, she bit his finger until it bled, and only let go when her mouth was full of blood.

He let go of her mouth, turned around, and walked away resentfully on the fallen leaves.

Agares looked at the row of small teeth marks on his fingers, with saliva still on them. He strode forward, scooped them up with his hand, and lifted his wife, who was walking angrily and sullenly.

A strong arm pulled her around, scooping her into his arms. He used a feigned retreat to advance, digging a hole for her, and said, "You're not satisfied? How about we have another fair fight?"

Jiang Si instantly understood his subtext: You can cheat, you can think that all's fair in war, and that winning is fake. Come on, let's play again. You set the rules, it's fair and square. If you want to pretend to be something you're not, then pretend to be something you're not.

Jiang Si sat on his arm, held by her father, her arms wrapped around his neck. She opened her mouth and bit his neck, drawing blood. Her voice was muffled and trembling with grievance: "Agares, you knocked me unconscious three times. We're divorced, and I'm still angry."

"This matter isn't over yet. Don't think that just because it's over, or that I'll forget about it with time. I'm angry, I'm furious, I can't forget."

"I can't forget that you didn't like me, that you were only thinking about divorcing me, that you knocked me unconscious, that you didn't want to sleep in the same bed with me. I know all of that. I'm not the kind of person who clings on and on, nor am I a shameless simp. After all that, I don't care about you at all."

Agarest's hand tightened on her buttocks, his voice hoarse, stern, rigid, and solemn as he said, "It's not that I'm unwilling. It's not that I don't like you, it's not that I don't want to divorce you."

“You’re too young. You just turned 18 and we’ve already registered our marriage. And you haven’t had your period yet. It caught me completely off guard. After that, I looked up some information and found that the most suitable age for a girl to have sex with her partner is around 22 to 24 years old.”

"Scientific research shows that it is harmful to a woman's health to have intimate relations with her partner too early. So, I'm waiting, waiting for you to grow up."

Ginger shreds: "..."

What the heck?

Wait until she grows up?

If he revealed her age, he could be her grandson, but she would still think he was too young.

He's still saying here, "Wait until she grows up?"

He truly deserves to be called the number one steel man in the universe.

To say such things so seriously and solemnly leaves no room for rebuttal; the unspoken message is: "It's all for your own good, don't be ungrateful."

Jiang Si pretended to be dead and didn't want to talk anymore.

The two chased each other into the forest.

On the way back, neither of them spoke again.

Agares carried her in one arm, walking without panting or taking a break.

Two hours later, Jiang Si drifted off to sleep at Abel Manor.

Jiufeng stood up abruptly: "Your Highness, Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Si's drowsy mind instantly snapped awake. Before she could even look up, Agares placed his hand on the back of her head and said politely but distantly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the young princess is asleep again. If you have anything to say, please wait until she wakes up. I apologize for today, please excuse me."

Jiufeng: "..."

Startled awake, Jiang Si closed her eyes again.

She needed to calm down and sort out her thoughts so that Agares would give up on taking her measurements.

Agares carried her upstairs without pausing for a moment.

Jiufeng: "..."

He watched them go upstairs until they were out of sight. He exhaled a breath of stale air and was struggling with whether to wait or not when Si Mubei, wearing a beautiful full skirt, with bright red hair, fiery red lips, and bright red buds, walked down from upstairs with great charm: "Your Highness Jiufeng, good morning. Come, come, my daughter is busy, so I've come to keep you company."

"Whatever you want to talk about, from ancient times to the present, or even across the stars, I can do it all."

Before she even got close, the strong scent of perfume wafted over her. Jiu Feng quickly took a step back to distance herself and distance herself from her: "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Si, but I have some things to attend to. I don't need you to accompany me. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without even stopping, as if he were being chased by venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, and quickly left Abel Manor.

"Hey, hey, hey, Your Highness Jiufeng, don't leave so soon, let's have a chat." Si Mubei waved his hand, calling out to Jiufeng with genuine affection. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was seeing off his lover who had left home and faced a life-or-death situation.

"I can talk about anything, I can do anything, come back, come back..."

Si Mubei called out enthusiastically, but before she could finish speaking, Yan Qi's cool voice rang out: "Ms. Si, are you trying to call my junior sister's soul here in the middle of the day? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing her?"

The master bedroom was a complete mess, and the bed was unusable.

Agares carried her to the room he had stayed in before, placed Jiang Si on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

Jiang Si, who was pretending to be asleep, trembled slightly.

Agares noticed, bent down, and tugged at her eyelashes.

Jiang Si winced slightly, then her eyes snapped open. She pulled the blanket over her and held it in front of her, looking at him warily and fiercely: "What are you doing? Anyway, don't put that weird device inside me to measure me."

Agares knelt on one knee on the bed, leaning towards Jiang Si. With meticulous care and an expressionless face, he solemnly and emphatically declared, "Your Highness, I cherish you. You are as precious as this military uniform I wear."
