Lin Xiuyan said thoughtfully, "Since Princess Anle has the imperial decree that Zhou Chenyang was promoted, she must also have the imperial decree that the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon you."
She laughed as she said this: "Your Highness, even if I were the most daring person in the world, I wouldn't dare to compete with her for you!"
At this point, she finally understood why the imperial edict had arrived two months earlier than in her previous life.
In this life, because she wasn't controlled by Zhou Chenyang, and because she made Zhou Chenyang suffer so much, she almost pulled him down from his position as city lord.
Princess Anle wanted to use Zhou Chenyang, so she naturally had to help him stabilize his position first.
Princess Anle arrived so quickly that Ye Junfei's previous plan to marry her first and then use the facts to defy the imperial decree is probably no longer feasible.
Ye Junfei could detect a hint of joy and excitement in her words, and knew that she did not want to marry him.
She was delighted to see him marry Princess Anle.
This conclusion made Ye Junfei even angrier. He looked at Lin Xiuyan with a smile and said, "I allow you to compete with her for me."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him, and he gently patted her head and said, "Since I said I would marry you, I will definitely marry you."
Lin Xiuyan had gotten along fairly well with him these past few days, and hadn't sensed any murderous intent from him. She had also become much bolder in his presence.
His anger made her heart tremble.
She forced a smile and said, "I like people like you who keep their promises, Prince. I'm waiting for you to come and marry me!"
Ye Junfei immediately sensed her distance from him and realized that all his efforts in the past period had been rendered meaningless by this one action.
He felt a bit irritable.
Women are such a hassle!
After Wu Dao left, Ye Junfei was still holding Lin Xiuyan's hand, but his mood was extremely bad.
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes revealed a firm determination as he said, "I was born with nothing, and I have to fight for everything I want."
He looked at her and said, "I don't really want many things, but whatever I want, I will find a way to get it."
"I know that feelings are different from other things and cannot be forced, but this is the first time in my life that I have liked someone, so naturally I hope for a good outcome."
"Whether you see our marriage as a transaction or it's your own choice, I'm determined to marry you."
After he finished speaking, he put one hand behind his back and strode forward.
But his silhouette revealed a sense of loneliness and isolation.
Lin Xiuyan called out from behind him, "Ye Junfei!"
He ignored her and continued walking.
Lin Xiuyan called his name again, but he still didn't turn around.
She used her light-footed skills to catch up with him, stopped him, and asked, "Is this what you mean by liking someone?"
He exuded a gloomy aura, but his expression was somewhat nonchalant.
He asked listlessly, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "I just want to know, when you say you want to marry me, do you just want to sleep with me, or do you want to spend your life with me?"
Ye Junfei slightly lifted his eyelids, his long, dark eyelashes half-covering his eyes.
He wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to talk. He thought she was too noisy, so he stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms.
Before she could react, his lips were already on hers.
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, not yet reacting, and opened her mouth slightly in fear.
He seized the opportunity to penetrate her body and savor her sweetness.
Lin Xiuyan was both ashamed and angry, and immediately bit him hard.
He showed no sign of letting go, and she tasted the blood.
She looked at him, and his eyes were now slightly open. His previous listless expression was gone, replaced by intense excitement.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
That pervert!
She reached out to push him, but this time she pushed him away instead.
She blushed and said, "How can you be so shameless?"
Ye Junfei chuckled lightly: "It's not like you just found out today."
Lin Xiuyan didn't want to pay attention to him and turned to leave, but he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms again.
She looked up at him, and the gloom in his peach blossom eyes had long since vanished.
He extended his index finger and gently brushed it against her lips. She turned her head slightly, looking at him with some suspicion, and saw a little blood on his fingertip.
The blood must have come from when she bit his lip earlier.
She tried to take out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood, but he put his index finger in his mouth and slightly raised an eyebrow: "So sweet!"
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
She must be crazy to come and try to coax him!
A madman like him doesn't need her to coax him!
She grinned at him, made a face, and turned to leave.
This time, Ye Junfei didn't pull her back. He just chuckled and followed her at a distance.
The two encountered Xu Qianting on their way back to the Lin residence.
Upon seeing the two, Xu Qianting hurriedly came up to them and said, "Yanyan, why didn't you invite me when you were dealing with Zhou Chenyang today?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "You're still growing and need to sleep in, but I was afraid of delaying your growth, so I didn't wake you up."
Xu Qianting: "..."
The joke about him growing taller comes from an incident when Lin Xiuyan invited him to go mushroom picking in the mountains in the morning. He wasn't interested in it and said that he was still growing.
When Lin Xiuyan used this to criticize him, he was momentarily speechless.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't sleep in anymore, so you can call me if you need anything."
Lin Xiuyan responded, but Xu Qianting still felt a little awkward, so he went to look at Ye Junfei.
He noticed a swelling on Ye Junfei's lip and asked, "What happened to your lip?"
Ye Junfei reached out and gently touched it, glanced at Lin Xiuyan, and said calmly, "She bit me."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Xu Qianting: "!!!!!!!"
His eyes widened instantly as he looked at Ye Junfei and asked, "What did you say?"
Seeing his reaction, Ye Junfei was in a great mood and, too lazy to pay him any attention, turned and walked away.
Xu Qianting looked at Lin Xiuyan and asked, "He...you...what exactly happened?"
Lin Xiuyan was a little tired and made up a story for him: "You believe what he said? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Xu Qianting thought for a moment and said, "Of course you're not! But... what's wrong with his mouth?"
They had known each other for years, but she had never kissed him!
There's no reason for her to kiss Ye Junfei but not him!
Lin Xiuyan replied, "There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains; he got bitten." (cascoo.net)
Xu Qianting immediately felt relieved: "I see, I thought you..."
He didn't continue, but smiled and said, "If something like this happens again, you must call me!"
Lin Xiuyan nodded. She turned to go home, and he followed her, saying, "When I first came here, I saw Zhou Chenyang doing that kind of thing to the pigs in the pigpen."
"I immediately called a bunch of people over to see, and he went crazy, hugging and kissing the pig, it was disgusting."
Lin Xiuyan's lips twitched. So if they had left any later, they would have run into Xu Qianting.
