Startled, Su Xuening instinctively reached out and hugged Xuan Yuanzhan's neck, pulling the two close together.
He could almost see her heaving chest, smell her unique fragrance, and even hear her soft breaths.
In an instant, Xuan Yuanzhan's entire ear turned bright red, and the blush spread wildly from his ear to his neck, his face, and his entire body.
Su Xuening was practically pressed against Xuan Yuanzhan's chest. Even though she didn't dare to look up at him, she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. Her own heart started pounding uncontrollably, and the spark buried within her was instantly ignited, blossoming into countless flowers of love.
Su Xuening was so hot she was going crazy. She silently lowered her arms from around Xuan Yuanzhan's neck, gripped her sleeve tightly, and chanted the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in her mind, hoping to suppress the rampant passion.
At this moment, Xuan Yuanzhan was feeling guilty and didn't notice Su Xuening's strange behavior at all. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't pay attention to him. You shouldn't have come out tonight!"
As he spoke, Xuan Yuanzhan picked up Su Xuening and prepared to return to the palace.
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan carry Su Xuening away like that, Xuan Yuanyu was both anxious and angry. He glared at Xuan Yuanzhan and roared, "Xuan Yuanzhan, you bastard!"
Upon hearing the word "bastard," Su Xuening clearly felt Xuan Yuanzhan's body stiffen.
Su Xuening looked up and saw that Xuan Yuanzhan's face was terribly dark.
But Xuan Yuan Yu's curses continued: "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for Father Emperor's favoritism, you would be nothing at all, and you would never have been able to marry Su Xue Ning!"
Xuan Yuanzhan gritted his teeth, picked up Su Xuening, and turned around. He stood on the steps, looking down at Xuan Yuanyu with disdain, and sneered, "So what? She is not my queen yet. Only I can touch her. You can only watch forever!"
As if afraid that Xuan Yuan Yu hadn't been stimulated enough, Xuan Yuan Zhan lowered his head and gently kissed Su Xue Ning's forehead.
Su Xuening's mind went blank for a moment, and the tingling sensation in her forehead instantly spread throughout her body. Her heart, which had just calmed down a little, started pounding wildly again, which frightened her so much that she quickly began to silently recite the calming mantra.
Xuanyuan Yu instantly bristled, screaming like a madman: "Ah!!!"
"Xuanyuan Zhan, I'm going to kill you!"
Xuan Yuanzhan ignored Xuan Yuanyu's clamor, picked up Su Xuening, and turned to return to the Holy King's Mansion.
"close the door!"
At Xuan Yuanzhan's command, the gates of the Holy King's Mansion immediately closed.
With a cold face, Xuan Yuanzhan ordered the gatekeeper: "If he dares to knock on the door and shout again, unleash the dogs!"
"yes."
The doormen immediately responded.
Previously, the prince was away from the palace for many years. He was worried about leaving the Dowager Consort alone in the palace, so he not only kept guards in the palace, but also kept many large dogs, just to deal with villains.
It's quite appropriate to bring him out now to deal with the Third Prince.
Xuanyuan Zhan carried Su Xuening towards Linshui Pavilion.
Bihe was very pleased to see how good the two were to each other, and followed from a distance, not daring to get too close to disturb them.
Su Xuening felt a little embarrassed being hugged by Xuan Yuanzhan. She originally wanted him to put her down, but looking at his cold face, she didn't dare to say anything.
The fight between Xuan Yuanzhan and Xuan Yuanyu at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion, and the fact that Xuan Yuanzhan carried Su Xuening back to the mansion, were quickly reported to Bai Shi by Di Su.
Lady Bai was surprised that Xuan Yuanzhan could return in time, and she was also surprised that Xuan Yuanzhan could be so helpful. She looked at Granny Shang excitedly and said, "You were right. I think that boy is interested in Ning'er."
Otherwise, given that kid's personality, he wouldn't be meddling in this kind of thing!
Even if she disliked Xuan Yuan Yu and beat him up, she wouldn't take Ning'er back to the manor.
Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize that Xuan Yuanzhan had been hiding his true abilities so well!
Bai thought of something fun and immediately waved to Di Su.
Di Su leaned over.
"You're doing this..." Bai Shi muttered excitedly, and Di Su nodded repeatedly.
At Linshui Pavilion, Xuanyuan Zhan carried Su Xuening back to the main room before placing her on the bedside.
After being released from Xuan Yuanzhan's embrace, Su Xuening's frantic heartbeat gradually calmed down, and the blush on her face slowly faded, but she dared not loosen her grip on her sleeve even a little.
Xuan Yuanzhan looked at Su Xuening, who was sitting with her eyes down, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Ahem~ Sorry, just now... I just wanted to annoy Xuan Yuanyu, don't mind it."
Xuan Yuanzhan blushed involuntarily as he recalled the smooth and soft touch of her forehead when he kissed her just now.
Because of his words, Su Xuening recalled the feeling of his soft lips and hot breath that had made her feel numb all over.
Su Xuening clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth to force herself to calm down: "It's alright. Xuan Yuan Yu caused a scene at the Prince's Mansion because of me. I should be the one apologizing."
If it weren't for her, Xuanyuan Yu wouldn't have come to the Holy King's Mansion to cause trouble.
Although it was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, she seems to have dragged the Holy Prince's Mansion into a fire pit. With Xuan Yuan Yu so stubborn and incorrigible, such things will likely happen frequently in the future.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan frowned and blurted out, "Xuan Yuanyu is going crazy, what does that have to do with you?"
Su Xuening raised a slender eyebrow and looked up at Xuan Yuanzhan with surprise.
Doesn't he think that Xuanyuan Yu only came to cause trouble because of her?
Perhaps it was because her eyes were too pure and clear that Xuan Yuanzhan dared not look at her and turned his face away, saying, "I know what kind of person Xuan Yuanyu is. Let him do what he wants; it's none of your business!"
He and Xuanyuan Yu have been rivals since they were children, and he still doesn't know him!
Stubborn and obsessive, he's no different from a madman!
Fortunately, Su Xuening had good judgment and didn't marry him, otherwise she doesn't know how she would have been tormented by him!
Su Xuening had once imagined Xuan Yuanzhan's personality. Rumors circulated that he was cold as ice, ruthless, and an unapproachable iceberg; others said he was eccentric, unpredictable, an arrogant and domineering playboy; still others claimed he was cursed with bad luck and brought misfortune to his wives, a cruel and ruthless freak. But she never expected him to have such an unexpected personality. Even if he wasn't exactly gentle and refined, he was at least a reasonable person.
"Thank you!"
After a long silence, Su Xuening finally spoke those words.
Thank you for protecting her! Thank you for respecting her! And thank you for giving her a sliver of hope in a marriage she hadn't originally expected!
"Ahem~" Xuan Yuanzhan felt uncomfortable again and mumbled, "Well, there have been too many things to do today. You must be tired too, so you should get some rest."
Xuanyuan Zhan turned and left after saying that.
Su Xuening breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he wasn't sleeping in the main house.
But before she could even exhale, Su Xuening saw Xuan Yuanzhan walk to the door, seemingly unable to open the latch.
Xuanyuan Zhan himself couldn't believe it. He pulled on the door twice, but it wouldn't open. Only then did he realize that the door had been locked from the outside. He immediately flew into a rage: "Who's outside? Open the door for me right now!"
