Chapter 34: A Single Man and a Single Woman
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and the longing finally eased a little. They both wanted to stay with each other for the rest of their lives.
As they held each other, Chen Shurong started to act naughty, touching his Adam's apple and tracing his jawline.
Xie Yunzhao grabbed her hand and held it in his palm. He was afraid that it would be embarrassing if he let her touch him further.
"What? Can't I touch it?"
"No." The man's low and hoarse voice was a little pleading, "Wait for later."
Shen Shurong laughed softly, “Okay, I’ll let you hold me for a while, then I’ll leave.”
Xie Yunzhao held her arms tighter, "It really doesn't hurt when I hold you." His mind was filled with her fragrance and softness, and his thoughts were all on her. How could he remember the pain?
…
In the Chaohuiyuan study, the man stood with his hands behind his back, "How long have you been here?"
Akabane's fists were trembling slightly, and he said in a weak voice, "My Lord, there is... one stick of incense left."
"How can this be possible! Does Xie Yunzhao understand the principles of propriety, righteousness, and honor?"
Chiyu didn't dare to speak. He didn't need to remind her. It was the princess who came here on her own initiative, and it had little to do with the second master.
Indeed, Xie Yunzheng knew very well that she shouldn't come over at this time, and the two of them shouldn't be alone in the same room.
"Master, the Second Master is seriously injured. I believe he is being treated for his injuries." Please don't be angry. There is nothing he can do now.
Xie Yunzheng had no idea that he felt uncomfortable, as if he was bitten by countless poisonous scorpions.
"Go out."
Akabane stepped out and closed the door.
Xie Yunzheng sat down and rubbed his brows. What were the two of them doing in the room?
Xie Yunzhao's injury was on his back. If they hugged, if they... kissed... they wouldn't touch the wound.
His head was about to explode. He couldn't stand such contact. If they really got married...
He couldn't just stand there and watch, he couldn't!
Chiyu leaned against the door with his arms folded, and so did the princess. Wouldn't it be a nuisance to the prince if they came at this time?
Does she have the prince in her heart?
Even if she is forced to marry Xie Yunzhao, she should consider the feelings of the prince.
Suddenly, the door opened from the inside and Akabane almost fell to the ground.
Xie Yun tried to get around him and said, "Let's go to Linfengju."
Akabane widened his eyes. What if the prince saw something he shouldn’t see?
The servant of Linfengju ran into the courtyard to pass on the message. Sui Han hurried to knock on the door. Qingzhu came to greet him, "Master, the Second Master is resting."
"Get out of here!" Xie Yun rushed into the yard.
"Princess, the prince is here."
The two people who were hugging each other had separated and were sitting side by side chatting. They were very unhappy and disappointed to hear that he came.
"Look what this is?" Chen Shurong took out the purse from his sleeve pocket.
"For me?"
Chen Shurong nodded, of course.
Xie Yunzhao took it as if receiving an imperial decree, his eyes glowing with piety, his lips curled, "Thank you, don't be too busy with these, be careful not to get tired."
"I know. I'll pay attention."
The little hand was held, "Can you come tomorrow?" No one cared outside the door.
Bang--
The door was kicked open.
Qingzhu and Qingying followed him into the house, looking apologetic: "I'm sorry, Second Master, we couldn't stop the prince."
Xie Yunzheng's narrow and deep phoenix eyes were fixed on the two people's holding hands, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes.
Looking at Chen Shurong again, she actually disguised herself as a maid and came here secretly!
Chen Shurong raised his eyes and saw Xie Yunzheng's angry expression. It seemed like he was here to catch someone cheating. What did it have to do with him?
"The prince is so polite!" Shen Shurong spoke first, with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Xie Yunzheng was already very angry, and before he could say anything, she started talking about him first, "It's getting late, the princess should go back home."
When Xie Yunzhao heard this, he stood up and blocked Shen Shurong, “She is my fiancée, you don’t have to worry about it!”
Chen Shurong didn't want to affect Xie Yunzhao's mood of recuperation, nor did she want the Duke of Lu and his wife to complain about her, so she pulled him to sit down and said softly: "Brother Yunzhao, it's time to go. I will try to see you tomorrow."
Xie Yunzhao's eyes, which had been gloomy because of Xie Yunzheng's intrusion, suddenly brightened up again, and he responded expectantly: "Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow."
Sui Han, who was standing by, hurried forward and helped Chen Shurong walk out of the house.
Xie Yunzheng didn't ignore that when Chen Shurong left, he didn't even look at him, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
After everyone was completely out of the yard, he took a few steps towards the bed, frowning, with a reproachful tone, "Do you know what time it is now? You don't even consider her reputation?"
"You two are alone..."
"Okay, stop preaching to me here," Xie Yunzhao interrupted him impatiently, glancing over coldly, "If another girl came to see me, would you come and meddle in my business?"
Xie Yunzheng lowered his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and said weakly, "She is a princess, not an ordinary girl."
"She is a princess, yes, but she is my fiancée. Sooner or later, we will be alone in the same room. Does the prince have to come to my courtyard every time to take care of it?"
Xie Yunzheng looked back suddenly: "Not yet. She was also my fiancée, but we never crossed the line."
"Originally I didn't have such an 'honor'," Xie Yunzhao walked a few steps to the couch and leaned unceremoniously, "What a pity, a polo match has ended up like this for me, and it's all for her."
At this point, his eyes were filled with tenderness and pride, “She is so kind, you know, she will feel bad.”
"Look, he just escaped from the Princess's eyes and couldn't wait to come see me."
"She is just grateful to you for saving her, don't be so proud..." Xie Yunzheng was so angry that his head felt dizzy. He forgot what he was saying for a moment and retorted subconsciously.
After he finished speaking, he finally reacted, stopped arguing, and walked away.
Xie Yunzhao stared at his back and narrowed his eyes.
It's not easy to be so angry that I let it all slip.
Damn it! He still dares to think about Rongrong!
He doesn't care about the position of the crown prince, nor does he desire it. He has already given it up once to Rongrong, and he won't do it again!
Qingzhu closed the door and came in, "Second Master, I'm afraid he won't be willing to let go."
"So what if I'm unwilling? I won't give in to him anymore!"
"How should we deal with Lu Ziqian?" Qingzhu asked again.
Xie Yunzhao closed his eyes and thought. He had betrayed his trust. Knowing that they were brothers at odds, he actually colluded with Xie Yunzhao in private, and he didn't know when it started.
Fortunately, I only play with him and never mention anything else.
"No need to deal with it, it will be useful if you keep it. I won't see him when the princess is around."
"Yes, Master Er, he sent me a letter today. Do you want to see me?"
Xie Yunzhao shook his head. If he dealt with him, he would be blamed for nothing, but he would be criticized.
He didn't deserve to be let off like this. "I won't meet you for now. Send a message in your tone and have his people pass it back. Say that the princess was injured and I'm angry. I'll find him when I'm better."
"Yes, Second Master." Qingzhu was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something, "Second Master, I didn't expect the person who secretly protected the princess to be in disguise." Is there any more punishment?
