Chapter 313: We'll Be Husband and Wife in the Next Life

Xu Ran felt that she was quite satisfied... But as they gradually got to know each other, when the young man wanted to kiss her with a red face, the scene of Xu Zhong holding her down and kissing her fiercely suddenly appeared in her mind.

She pushed the young man away, fled, turned around and ran into Xu Zhong's arms.

Xu Zhong's face looked a little ugly: "What's wrong? Did he bully you?"

She quickly shook her head, as if possessed by some mysterious force, and said, "He wants to kiss me, but I don't want him to kiss me. I just want..."

He suddenly woke up before he could finish his words and stopped abruptly.

But Xu Zhong didn't let her go. His tone was cold and hoarse: "What do you want?"

His hands were tight and hot. Xu Ran slowly raised her head and met his red and painful gaze. She blinked and whispered, "I just want to be kissed by that badass second brother..."

Just one sentence easily broke Xu Zhong's disguise. He pressed her into his arms and kissed her without any explanation.

It was the first time Xu Ran was kissed while she was awake. In a daze, she thought that her second brother was usually very fierce, and he was even more fierce when he kissed her.

Xu Ran didn't think it would be a big deal if she was with Xu Zhong, after all, they were not biological siblings. But Xu Zhong said she didn't understand. Their father, Lord Xu, always attached great importance to etiquette and was old-fashioned and strict, so how could he accept it?

Xu Zhong said he would find a way...but he had to think of it slowly, because the love between the two young people was like the grass in spring, flourishing and difficult to contain.

They lived in the same yard, and on the surface, they seemed to dislike each other in the eyes of others, but no one knew their affection and attachment in the dead of night.

Xu Zhong originally wanted to hold the last line of defense, but Xu Ran has always been delicate yet unrestrained. She is like a curious and greedy little animal. She wants to try and hooks Xu Zhong and won't let go... How can a man who has been suppressed for years restrain himself? In the end, he collapsed to the ground, hugging her and calling "Jiaojiao'er" repeatedly.

It was also at that time that Xu Ran realized that Xu Zhong was calling her that time.

She pressed him down and asked, "Has Second Brother been thinking about this for a long time?"

They were already in perfect harmony, so how could Xu Zhong hold back? He admitted it with a hoarse voice, and then was ridiculed.

"That second brother used to be so mean to me, humph!"

Xu Ran turned around angrily, but was hugged tightly from behind... The man's breathing and body were tangled again, and he said in a hoarse voice: "If I don't let you go away, I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore."

He said: "I have dreamt of this situation countless times. I am afraid that I can't distinguish between dreams and reality..."

"Ranran, my little darling...I'm going crazy from holding it in any longer!"

The couple immersed in love thought they had hidden it well, but they didn't know that the hardest thing to hide is love. One day, when they were having a secret meeting, Lord Xu broke into their room.

Xu Zhong was dragged away, and Xu Ran was also frightened, but she did not realize how serious the matter was. She still pestered Xu Ge Lao and said that she wanted to marry the second brother... Her father, who was always gentle to her, ignored her.

Xu Ran thought that it would be fine after her father calmed down... until the imperial edict to confer the title of consort was delivered to the Xu family.

She wanted to escape with Xu Zhong, but then she found out that Xu Zhong was almost beaten to death and could not get out of bed.

It was then that she first knew what fear was.

The emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so she entered the palace and became Concubine Xu. Half a year later, Xu Zhong's injury was fully healed. The two met again in the imperial garden. Xu Zhong had lost a lot of weight, and she had become Concubine Xu.

Xu Ran was originally a little hesitant, thinking that since things had come to this point, she should not pester or pay any more attention to Xu Zhong. Even though Xu Zhong would look at her with red eyes every time she saw him from afar, she turned a blind eye... until she knew that Xu Zhong was going to discuss marriage.

She saw the gentle and virtuous girl, and also saw how gentle and considerate Xu Zhong was towards the girl.

Only then did Xu Ran realize that she couldn't stand it, she couldn't stand Xu Zhong being with other women.

It was also at that time that she accompanied the emperor to the palace to escape the summer heat... and met Xu Zhong in the mountains behind the palace at night.

Xu Zhong, who always looked at her with red eyes before, bowed to her respectfully with an indifferent expression, calling her Empress Xu... There were still traces of lip balm on his cheeks.

Xu Ran was so jealous that she was almost going crazy, and dragged the man into the rockery without any explanation.

Xu Zhong looked at her coldly and asked her, "Does your Majesty know what you are doing?"

She was panic-stricken and at a loss, but she had only one thought: she couldn't stand him marrying someone else!

"You are not allowed to get married. You are not allowed to marry another woman. No!"

Xu Ran bit her lip. She knew she might be crazy, but no matter what, she couldn't stand her bad second brother marrying another woman.

She stubbornly tore his clothes, but was grabbed by the wrist.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."

She cried...

Xu Zhong pinched her chin and asked her what she wanted.

Xu Ran said: "I don't want you to get married."

"But I'm going to get married eventually. If it's not her, it will be someone else. There will always be a woman by my side."

"You're mine!"

Xu Ran gritted her teeth: "You said it yourself, you are mine alone."

She was like an unreasonable child, stubbornly pestering him with one sentence: "You are not allowed to marry other women, only me."

As if she was certain that Xu Zhong could not resist her, she raised her head and leaned close to his lips: "Second brother, you can only have me as your woman, okay?"

As she spoke, she unzipped her waist belt.

Xu Zhong's eyes also showed madness. He looked at her steadily and spoke word by word, "My queen, please think carefully. If you take this step today, there will be no turning back. From now on, no matter whether you are a concubine or even a queen, don't even think about avoiding me."

Xu Ran’s answer was to close her eyes and kiss him.

Xu Zhong's feigned indifference and composure completely crumbled. He pressed her against the rockery as if to punish her, tightly covering her mouth...

They were all crazy, so they ended up at this point...

"Second brother."

Xu Ran's face had turned pale and blue, but the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

She said: "Let's be husband and wife in the next life...
