Chapter 317 If you dare to leave the city today, I will end my relationship with you
Lin Tingfeng raised his hand in disbelief and touched his face which was numb from the beating.
The tentacles felt scorching hot, and it wasn't an illusion.
Zhuang Shihan was furious when she saw him like this. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You useless thing! You didn't even dare to fart while listening to others humiliate me. I don't know what use you are!"
"Shihan..." Lin Tingfeng opened his mouth, intending to explain.
But Zhuang Shihan didn't even give him a spare glance, turned around and left quickly.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped as if she thought of something.
Lin Tingfeng looked at Zhuang Shihan's back, thinking that if she was willing to bow her head and apologize, saying that she shouldn't have hit him out of a moment of desperation, he could forgive her.
After all, what Xu Xiao said just now was indeed too harsh for a woman.
She has always been proud and intolerant, so it is normal for her to act extreme and vent her anger on him because she cannot accept it.
It was just a slap in the face. He was a grown man and had thick skin, so it wasn't a big deal.
As long as she can calm down, even two more slaps won't hurt.
When she calmed down, he would analyze the situation with her carefully. With her intelligence, she would definitely understand his difficulties.
After all, he was just trying to fulfill the most basic obligations of a husband so that others would not think he was unkind and unjust, that's all.
Just as Lin Tingfeng was comforting himself in his heart, he heard Zhuang Shihan's cold voice coming from the door: "If you dare to leave the city today, I will end all ties with you."

"Your Highness, what do you think is the reason why Prince Liang has come this time?" Sitting around the fire, Song Yanxi recalled what the Liang army said when they passed by, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.
Her intuition told her that this person was most likely the biggest variable.
Mo Jinchuan skewered the processed pheasant with branches and placed it securely over the fire before speaking, "Wen Qi is a cruel man who enjoys killing and is suspicious by nature. He has left the capital of Liang State only a few times over the years.
I have heard that Emperor Liang has been in poor health for the past two years. As the crown prince, he has left the capital at such a critical moment. This visit is definitely not just a simple inspection tour of the territory."
Song Yanxi didn't care about the succession of the throne in Liang State.
She just wanted to know whether Wen Qi came here for Mo Jinchuan this time.
Being targeted by such a dangerous person is not a good thing.
Noticing her worried look, Mo Jinchuan curled the corners of his lips and asked, "Why, are you afraid that I am not Wen Qi's opponent?"
Song Yanxi shook her head and said frankly, "I'm afraid he'll bite you."
"bite?"
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows, and when he saw her nod seriously, he suddenly smiled.
Just when Song Yanxi thought he didn't understand what she meant and wanted to explain, she heard him say, "That's a very appropriate description."
Wen Qi is like a hungry wolf hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to jump out and deliver a fatal blow.
If a wolf wants to eat meat, doesn’t it just bite it with its mouth?
Seeing that Mo Jinchuan was laughing happily and didn't look serious at all, Song Yanxi disagreed and said, "Let's talk about business, Your Highness, please be serious."
At least, you should stop smiling.
His face was naturally charming, and when he smiled his eyes seemed to be alluring, making it impossible for people to calm down and listen to what he said.
Song Yanxi never thought that one day the saying "beauty can lead to misleading people" would actually be applied to herself.
What a sin.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise she would have to lose face and return to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
Hearing this, Mo Jinchuan couldn't help but suppress his smile, and a flash of disappointment passed through his dark eyes.
He said in a calm tone, "If you don't like it, I won't laugh anymore."
When Song Yanxi heard this, she blurted out without thinking: "Who said I don't like it, I just..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
Realizing what she had just said, she regretted it so much that she wanted to bite off her tongue.
How could she forget the saying that too much talk leads to mistakes in such a hurry?
Just when Song Yanxi was filled with regret and wanted to speak to make amends, a chuckle suddenly sounded in her ears.
She clearly heard Mo Jinchuan say, "As long as you like it, it won't be in vain for me to think about it."
Song Yanxi felt her heartbeat stop for a moment, and then the rhythm began to speed up.
Each sound seemed to explode in her ears, making her feel confused and unable to think straight.
She wanted to ask Mo Jinchuan if he knew what he was talking about just now.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
She actually knew the answer very well in her heart, but she just didn't dare to admit it.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin has always been meticulous in his actions. Even if he is impulsive in matters between men and women, it is impossible that he is unaware of what he is saying.
She was just trying to deceive herself...
Song Yanxi had never felt so disgusted with her own weakness and cowardice as she did now.
She didn't dare to express her feelings to him, and she didn't even dare to respond to his feelings.
The great hatred has not yet been avenged, and the turmoil in the north has not been settled, so how dare we talk about love between men and women?
She originally thought that if she played dumb and didn't respond, a man as proud as Mo Jinchuan would definitely be annoyed and wouldn't even want to look at her.
But she guessed wrong.
Not only was he not affected, he even remembered to take her taste into consideration and specially roasted the tips of both chicken wings until the skin was crispy.
Only her master and grandfather knew about her hobby.
How did he know?
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. The crust won't taste good if it gets cold."
Mo Jinchuan's voice brought Song Yanxi back to her senses. She thanked him and took it, then took a bite of the burnt skin on the outside with mixed feelings.
The salty and fragrant taste made her eyes red in an instant.
It is the seasoning that my grandfather usually uses.
She missed her grandfather.
It was she who was unfilial. She only left a letter before leaving and didn't even dare to go see him in person.
If she could go back alive this time, she would definitely accept the beating and punishment, and only hope that the two elders could live a long and peaceful life, and not lose their lives in vain because of her.
Seeing Song Yanxi lowering her head and saying nothing, Mo Jinchuan felt uneasy and asked nervously, "Is it because the taste is not right?"
Mr. Yan once said that just as people have different faces, even if the same ingredients and methods are prepared, the food cooked by each person will taste different.
It was like he, who traveled all over the country but couldn't find a string of candied haws as sweet as the one she had in her hand back then.
Song Yanxi sniffed and said sullenly, "No, it's delicious."
Afraid he wouldn't believe her, she paused and added, "I've learned 70% of the old man's abilities."
"Only 70%?" Mo Jinchuan sighed softly and said with emotion: "It seems that this time when I go back, I have to ask the old man for advice and try to learn 80% of it, so as not to fail in the takeout and embarrass him."
Song Yanxi's sadness was mostly washed away by his humorous tone. She raised her eyebrows at him and said, "Then I will wait for your good news, Your Highness."
Mo Jinchuan's lips curled slightly, and her shadow was reflected in his eyes, which reflected the flickering firelight, and seemed to have an invisible magical power that bewitched people.
Damn, he's laughing like that again.
Song Yanxi quickly lowered her eyes, secretly cursing herself for not living up to her expectations, when she suddenly heard him ask, "Miss Song, don't you want to know when I learned this craft from Old Master Yan?"
