After Chu Junyao returned home with a heavy heart, he strengthened the security of the Shangshu Mansion.
However, he didn't know how strong Xiao Jingwen was, so he ordered people to secretly keep a close eye on Yan Xi's yard and notify him if there was any movement.
Noticing the tense atmosphere in the mansion, Yan Xi was a little confused, but didn't have the mind to ask.
In the past month, his teacher assigned him many tasks, such as memorizing books, reading, practicing calligraphy, and writing articles. The amount was so much that it made him feel numb, and it reminded him of the fear of being dominated by homework in high school.
He was almost exhausted these past few days, especially today. It was finally time to go to bed. Not long after he lay down, a familiar cold fragrance hit him. Yan Xi froze and climbed out of bed and stood up straight, his heart beating like thunder. "Jing, Jing Wen."
Hearing the voice he had been thinking about day and night, Xiao Jingwen's heart trembled suddenly. After a long time, he spoke: "The one-month period has come. What is your answer?"
Yan Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly. She clutched her sleeves tightly and lowered her eyes. "I... I think, Your Highness and I are not destined to be together. We..."
As he spoke, the rest of the words got stuck in his throat, as if blocking his airway, making it difficult to breathe. After a while, he finally squeezed out, "It's better for us to keep our distance. I want to... get engaged. It won't be long before I have a family, Your Highness..."
"It's Murong Xing, right?" Before he could finish, Xiao Jingwen interrupted him coldly, his voice trembling.
So quickly, to distance ourselves from each other, we stopped even calling each other by our names...
Yan Xi didn't think much about it, thinking that he had already done some research before coming. "Well, Sister Xing'er is very nice to me, I..."
However, the three words "I like her" were hard to say.
Xiao Jingwen knew what he was going to say. He tried hard to suppress the stinging pain in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but feel sore. He climbed up his shoulders, moved his thin lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't tell me, am I not good to you?"
In the darkness, Yan Xi couldn't see his expression, but she could tell something was wrong and didn't dare to move. "...Your Highness is very good to me."
"Then why do you have to like her?" Xiao Jingwen asked tremblingly.
Why can't I just look at him? Why do I have to like Murong Xing... Even if I treat him well, I can't be half as good as Murong Xing?
"Why..." Yan Xi muttered to himself and fell silent.
He didn't know what to say, he really didn't know.
My mind is in a mess.
Xiao Jingwen listened to the breathing of the people around him, and gradually felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. His whole body was cold, and his internal organs were in pain.
He tried his best to endure the pain and took a breath. "Do you remember the promise you made to me in the cave? You said that as long as I kept it a secret, you would give me whatever I wanted."
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, "I remember."
"Okay, now, I'll tell you what I want." Xiao Jingwen held his arm tightly and slowly approached him, "I want you. No, to be precise, I have always known clearly that you are the only one I want!"
Yan Xi's heart trembled, his body tensed, and he was a little flustered. "But I, I am a person, not an object. I can't just give it away..."
"So, you were lying to me before?" Xiao Jingwen tightened his grip, his tone grim.
Yan Xi felt pain and was uneasy. She struggled for a moment, "I didn't. I just said that as long as I can give it, I will give it to you. But, I am a person, not an object."
"Okay, I'll change it. I want you to leave Murong Xing and never be with her!" Xiao Jingwen compromised and said coldly.
Yan Xi was stunned and silent for a while before stammering, "I'm sorry, I... can't do it."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen laughed softly, his eyes sinister. His cold hands pinched his chin and gently stroked it, like a cold poisonous snake crawling on his body and suddenly drilling into his chest. Yan Xi's scalp tingled, and a fear rose in his heart, "Your Highness...you...uuuuu..."
There was a ripping sound.
Yan Xi widened his eyes in fear.
…
Yan Xi was extremely frightened and instinctively resisted. She bit his arm hard. At that moment, the smell of blood spread in her mouth.
Xiao Jingwen froze and looked at him. Something flickered in his dark eyes. The pain in his arm went straight to his brain and connected to his heart. It was so painful that he felt suffocated.
He let go of his hand, his vision blurred, his head pounding, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Yan Xi was completely stunned.
At this moment, it suddenly became bright outside.
But both of them seemed not to see it.
Xiao Jingwen looked at him with bloodshot eyes.
Yan Xi met those eyes filled with pain and spoke in a panic. She couldn't speak clearly, her whole body was trembling, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. "Jing, Jing Wen, I... I didn't... mean it. I was just scared... I..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Chu Junyao's voice came coldly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, isn't it a bit inappropriate to trespass into a private house..." Before he could finish his words, his eyes fell on the young man with disheveled clothes and tearful eyes. His head felt like he had been punched, and it was buzzing.
He immediately glared at her, clenched his fists, ignored everything, closed the door, and rushed forward with a roar.
Murong Xing, who followed outside the door, recalled the scene he had just seen. Combined with the sound of fighting in the room, there was nothing he didn't understand.
Suddenly, anger surged up.
She didn't expect that Prince Jin was such a beast, so cruel as to violate her brother!
She was furious when she thought that Yan Xi, a boy, was humiliated by another man.
After experiencing this kind of thing, Yan Xi has no idea what to do in the future, and it will definitely leave an indelible shadow in her heart.
Slowly, the sounds of fighting stopped.
Chu Junyao panted, shielding Yan Xi behind him. Looking at the man in front of him who was completely unharmed, he was shocked and angry. He said in a deep voice, "Although you are a prince, the sons of the Chu family are not people you can bully at will! I believe that if His Majesty knew, he would not easily cover up for me! The people of the world will not let this go!"
Anyway, the two of them had a fight and had already torn their faces apart. What's the harm in giving him a warning? He was in the wrong first, and their Chu family would never endure such humiliation in silence!
