Chapter 125 It's Time for You to Pay Your Debt
In that instant, Yu Nian's will to survive surged.
If death is inevitable either way, Yu Nian might as well end it quickly.
There's something Yu Nian has wanted to do for a long time.
As she leaned forward, Yu Nian raised her arm and clenched her fist.
When she first returned, Li Mingjin slapped her in a fit of anger. It's time to pay the price!
You fussy prince, take this punch!
Li Mingjin was so focused on pulling Yu Nian that he was completely unprepared, and since the two were so close, Yu Nian struck him squarely.
The fist slammed heavily into Li Mingjin's chin.
It was this sudden exertion that caused Yu Nian to fall from her back to her side.
There are sharp, pointed rocks everywhere here; landing face-first is safer than landing on the back of your head.
Yu Nian didn't have time to cover her face with her hands, so she resignedly closed her eyes.
The moment she landed, Yu Nian closed her eyes and thought, "Chunyu Han probably isn't someone who judges by appearances."
My face felt something cold, but the pain I expected didn't come.
The ground feels a bit soft, and it has a cool, woody, sandalwood scent...
"Get up."
Chunyu Han had rushed over as fast as he could, otherwise Yu Nian would have been disfigured. She's such a dramatic person, she would have made a huge fuss over nothing.
Yu Nian raised her head, resting her chin in his palm, her warm breath tickling her slightly.
Yu Nian looked up at Chunyu Han, who was half-squatting on the ground. His dark robe fell to the ground like a blooming black lotus.
He reached out and cupped her chin, as if...
It looks like they're teasing a dog!
Congratulations to Chunyu Han for being the witness to Yu Nian's embarrassing moment, and for witnessing Yu Nian's disastrous performance once again.
Yu Nian quickly got up from the ground and pounced on Chunyu Han's shoulder.
"My husband, I was so scared. It was so close. I thought I would never see you again."
Yu Nian put on an act, deliberately turning her back to Li Mingjin. Without even looking, she knew that Li Mingjin's face must be turning purple with anger.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Chunyu Han raised his hand and patted Yu Nian's back gently, as if he were coaxing a child.
"Your Highness, my wife has been frightened, please excuse me."
Chunyu Han glanced at Li Mingjin's reddened chin, but pretended not to notice and didn't say a word.
He certainly didn't believe Yu Nian would be afraid; she even dared to hit the Crown Prince, she was incredibly bold.
Chunyu Han simply picked up Yu Nian and carried her away from the artificial hill.
Watching the two figures leave, Li Mingjin felt an indescribable surge of anger.
Yu Nian was truly the most ungrateful woman he had ever met, but he could only suffer in silence. He had been punched by Yu Nian, and if word got out, he would be utterly humiliated.
There have long been rumors that he is a heartless man, and if people find out that Yu Nian hit him, they will all say that she did the right thing.
Li Mingjin had just taken charge of politics, and the rumors and gossip had a great impact on him, so he could only suppress his anger.
"Yu Nian, you're really something, daring to hit me. Just you wait, no woman has ever slapped me in the face before!"
After turning around and walking a distance, Yu Nian buried her head on Chunyu Han's shoulder and peeked at Li Mingjin's expression through the gap.
Tsk tsk, it's even uglier than eating shit. Anyway, this young master dislikes her all the time, so Yu Nian doesn't mind deepening her feud with him.
Chunyu Han noticed the person on his shoulder move slightly, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he reached out and pinched Yu Nian's thigh.
"Can't you listen to a single word I say?"
Yu Nian was secretly watching Li Mingjin again. Chunyu Han had said that if there was a second time, he would not forgive her.
Carrying Yu Nian back to the side room, Chunyu Han pinched her a few more times, still not satisfied, to teach her a lesson.
"Ouch..."
Yu Nian winced in pain, feeling itchy and numb from Chunyu Han's pinching. He must have bruised and purple from it. Yu Nian struggled to jump off Chunyu Han's arms.
Why are you pinching me again!
I'll punish you for not coming home last night, for staying at your parents' house instead of going home, for having an affair with your old flame...
Chunyu Han remained silent, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He realized he hadn't pinched her hard enough.
Chunyu Han couldn't help but think of the ferocious beasts he kept in the animal park, which only obeyed him when they were beaten severely.
Her bright, peach-blossom eyes were filled with anger. If you have something to say, just say it. What kind of thing is domestic violence? Besides, Yu Nian didn't do anything outrageous.
Looking into Chunyu Han's deep, swirling eyes, Yu Nian felt a little discouraged. She was hoping that Chunyu Han, who was intermittently mute, would say something to her.
But Yu Nian was still very angry. The pain in her body was one thing, but Chunyu Han's scheming against her also made her feel very frustrated. Did the so-called allies not even have this much trust?
"Keep your guards for yourself. I won't do anything for you anymore. You have no trust in me at all and are always trying to test me. It's really disheartening!"
This was the first time Yu Nian openly lost her temper with Chunyu Han; even a clay figure has some earthy spirit.
Chunyu Han overheard the entire conversation between Yu Nian and Li Mingjin, and it was clear that Yu Nian was not Li Mingjin's informant.
Chunyu Han's supposedly subtle probing was still discovered by Yu Nian.
The person in front of me had slightly red eyes, but a stubborn look in them. The way they wrinkled their nose made it seem like they had been bullied badly.
Yu Nian has done her best in handling things these past few times. Just now, she would rather hit Li Mingjin and be disrespectful than let Li Mingjin help her up.
Moreover, Yu Nian had saved his life; he had almost lost it.
Chunyu Han was naturally suspicious and felt that trust was very fragile, but now he was willing to give Yu Nian the little trust he had.
However, how to tell Yu Nian became a tricky problem for Chunyu Han.
Given Yu Nian's personality, if she really doesn't say a word, this piece probably won't be able to be passed up.
Chunyu Han took a step closer to Yu Nian, his gaze falling on her smooth forehead as he considered what to say.
The approaching scent of agarwood caused Yu Nian to involuntarily take a step back.
Yu Nian was filled with anxiety. Chunyu Han's temperament was unpredictable; had she gone a little too far...?
Seeing Yu Nian step back, Chunyu Han took another step forward, still unsure of what to say.
But Yu Nian had nowhere to retreat; her waist was pressed against the edge of the desk. Her heart began to pound, and she couldn't quite understand the emotions in Chunyu Han's eyes at that moment.
He didn't look angry or upset, but his lips were tightly pressed together, and he didn't say a word; his expression wasn't pleasant either.
Yu Nian's initial anger gradually subsided. She shouldn't have been so impulsive. She had been hiding by Chunyu Han's side for so long, knowing full well that going against him would not end well.
In Yu Nian's mind, two little figures began a frantic internal struggle.
A timid thought: What do I do now? Should I take the initiative and apologize?
A forceful voice: No way, that would be too embarrassing!
A timid thought: Is saving face more important than life?
A forceful remark: But domestic violence is a zero-sum game, it happens countless times. Doesn't your thigh hurt anymore?
Confident thought: Uh...
Before Yu Nian could reach a conclusion, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist and her feet were lifted off the ground!
Chunyu Han lifted her from the ground and pressed her onto the table.
Yu Nian was puzzled, but before she could speak, the crisp scent of sandalwood wafted towards her...
