Su Xuerong was held tightly in his arms, and she didn't dare to breathe.
Suddenly, she heard him ask her a question with an extremely regretful tone, and her heart pounded.
Can't remember who he is?
What does this mean?
She dared not speak, for fear that she might accidentally cause him to lose control.
She had been married before, and now that he had her sitting on his lap, she could clearly feel the change in his genitals.
Su Xuerong's mind was buzzing, and she regretted her actions just now.
A man is a man, after all. Why did she let him into the house in the middle of the night?
Xiao Yuan seemed oblivious to her unease, holding her tightly in his arms and resting his head on her shoulder as he asked again in a low voice, "Arong, do you really not remember who I am at all?"
Su Xuerong froze, trembling as she said, "Brother Wang, could you... could you let me get up and speak properly..."
The two of them are acting far too intimately right now.
If she gets caught, she'll have no choice but to marry him!
Xiao Yuan still wouldn't let go of her: "I know what you're worried about!"
Su Xuerong was furious.
What do you know!
Men are all bad!
"You don't want to marry me, so you don't want to be my concubine, do you?" Xiao Yuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on her evasive eyes.
Su Xuerong felt a sudden headache.
She shouldn't have thought he was a good person!
She had already imagined everything that was about to happen to her...
"What if... what if I gave you the title of princess?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan's voice seemed to fade into the distance, catching Su Xuerong off guard.
"Huh? You... what did you say?"
Xiao Yuan gradually released his grip on her wrist, his voice especially clear in the darkness.
Good, you finally said it.
"What if I could offer you the position of a princess? Would you marry me?"
Su Xuerong was completely stunned and forgot to struggle. She just stared at him blankly with her beautiful eyes.
The two fell silent again, their breathing rising and falling.
Su Xuerong was covered in sweat, and the jacket she was wearing was soaked through, clinging to her back like a thick layer of moss, making it hard for her to breathe.
Xiao Yuan looked at her sweat-covered face, sighed softly, and slowly reached out his hand.
Su Xuerong hurriedly grabbed her clothes, her expression wary, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at her clothes, which were soaked with sweat, and raised his chin, saying, "Aren't you hot?"
"It's not hot!" Su Xuerong said, somewhat annoyed.
If you don't hold me like this, how can I feel hot?
"What did you just say?" she asked again, suspecting she had misheard, her face turning even redder.
Xiao Yuan chuckled softly. Although he felt a pang of sympathy for her, he was unwilling to let go. He then said, "What, do you want me to say it a few more times?"
Su Xuerong was completely stunned. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and looked away, muttering, "Why are you teasing me..."
"I didn't..."
Su Xuerong quickly covered his mouth with her hand: "Stop! You're not allowed to speak, let me think about it!"
Looking at her anxious and bewildered expression, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but chuckle again.
The warm breath sprayed onto her palm, and a ticklish sensation came over her. Su Xuerong quickly let go as if her hand had been burned.
She tried to struggle to get up from his arms, but Xiao Yuan showed no intention of letting go.
He finally managed to seize this opportunity to hold the beauty in his arms, but who knows when the next chance will come.
"Have you... have you thought about the consequences of marrying me?" Su Xuerong carefully avoided too much physical contact with him. "Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world for marrying a widow who has given birth?"
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yuan gripped her slender, willow-like waist tightly with both hands. "I'm being laughed at for marrying a woman I love?"
He was fortunate that he had been sent to Jiangnan by the late emperor, and that his mother had passed away early. His only elder relative was his aunt.
He was determined to marry Su Xuerong, and even his aunt couldn't stop him.
"Your Highness, please think it over carefully. If your subordinates, the officials of Hangzhou Prefecture, and the people of the entire fiefdom knew that you had married me, your reputation and prestige would be damaged!"
It might even affect your future ascension to the throne!
Su Xuerong glared at him fiercely.
Looking at her angry expression, Xiao Yuan thought of the little kittens in the backyard of the Prince's mansion.
Even when she's angry, she looks like she's about to explode but is completely helpless.
"I'm not worried, so why are you?" He couldn't help but laugh.
This woman may be tough on the outside, but she still cares about him a lot.
Su Xuerong was speechless, looking up at him: "But...but you know, my daughter is..."
Xiao Shiyan's daughter!
She is Xiao Yuan's niece-in-law. If people find out about her background, isn't she afraid of being scorned by the world?
Xiao Yuan stared intently at her: "Not many people will know..."
The only people around them who knew about it were Ge Huai'an and Ming Shu, and they dared not say anything.
"But what if?" Su Xuerong was sweating profusely with anxiety. "You are so outstanding, there will definitely be people looking for your weaknesses. If someone finds out about my past, it will be an undeserved disaster for you!"
Having experienced the torment she suffered in her previous life, she was not afraid of those rumors and gossip.
But Xiao Yuan's future will surely be tarnished by public opinion, and his reputation will be destroyed by slander.
Xiao Yuan saw the worry in her eyes and his heart softened immediately: "You're worried about me?"
Su Xuerong replied irritably, "Yes!"
I'm worried that you'll be implicated by me and won't be able to become the emperor of Southern Zhou!
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, reached out and gently brushed the strands of hair that were wet on her cheeks behind her ears, his fingers intentionally or unintentionally touching her earlobe.
