Su Xuerong was filled with regret at this moment.
How did she end up provoking such a scoundrel?
She bit her lip hard, her body stiff, determined not to let him succeed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan sighed softly: "If you keep acting like this, I'll think you still have feelings for him..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Xuerong tried to break free from his control, but before she could get up, he grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms.

"That one is the daughter of the Prince of Chu. If Madam Xiang wants a marriage between equals, she must annul the engagement between Ling Qingxue and Xiang Rulan." The man smiled wickedly. "But Xiang Rulan is adamant about not annuling the engagement. Let her family make a scene!"
"Does Arong like this kind of revenge?"
