Was the sweetness and love they had shown these days all fake? Was she really coaxing him?

Noticing that his tone was wrong, Wei Hanzhang whispered, "I'm just annoyed."

She pursed her lips and added, "You said before that you would always be Xiao Boqian in front of me, not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but today you got furious because I didn't want to get close to you. Isn't this a violation of your words?"

Xiao Junzhan was originally playing with her fingers. He was startled when he heard this and said sincerely, "I was wrong."

But that's because she...

"You asked me why I was fine last night, but I annoyed you today," Wei Hanzhang lifted the long hair on the side of his neck, pointed at a red mark above his collarbone, and said, "Because of this."

After a night, the mark turned red with a hint of purple, which looked a bit scary.

Xiao Junzhan could tell at a glance that this was the kiss he had uncontrollably made when they were fooling around yesterday.

He was...

He lowered his eyes and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, he reached out and touched the red spot, and said in a hoarse voice, "Did it hurt you?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment, and said speechlessly: "You are too much. I am an unmarried girl, and you kissed me and left such a mark. If others saw it, would I still be able to live as a human being?"

Xiao Junzhan was about to speak when Wei Hanzhang interrupted him quickly, "Yes, you are the prince. No one dares to discuss your private affairs openly, or even say a word in private. But how can you control what others think?"

"In the eyes of the civil and military officials, you have always been a gentleman who is not interested in women and is as pure as snow. They will not believe that you can't help yourself and that you visited the girl's boudoir at night."

It was just an excuse she had come up with temporarily. She was only a little angry, but when she got to this point, she became even more annoyed. Her anger turned into a lot. She said angrily, "By then, everyone will think that I was the one who seduced the master and was quite capable. I was shameless and seduced you before we got married. All the discussions will only fall on me, and you will still be the crown prince praised by the court and the public."

"No!" Xiao Junzhan's expression changed, and he said, "Who dares to look at you like that..."

"You don't have to say these words to coax me. I can't turn a blind eye to what others say, and I haven't learned to deceive myself." Wei Hanzhang smiled coldly: "Why don't you ask yourself, Your Highness, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Xiao Junzhan remained silent, knowing that if someone really saw the marks on her body...

There will certainly be rumors spreading secretly about them.

No one dared to talk about him, but that didn't necessarily mean no one dared to talk about her! Even if he used thundering means afterwards...

What people say is scary.

The room was silent.

Xiao Junzhan thought for a moment and accepted the reason she gave. He really could not find any fault. Apart from the red mark he left last night, there was really no way to explain why the little girl was in such a bad mood today.

...So she didn't really hate him, she was just a little annoyed by his lack of tact.

The suppressed anger completely disappeared with this conclusion.

His mood improved uncontrollably, and even facing her angry gaze, he couldn't help but chuckle and coax her in a low voice: "Good girl, calm down, I will be careful in the future and will never leave any marks on you."

As he spoke, he bent down and kissed the tip of her nose, "Because I was upset because I didn't tell you. It made me think too much and almost hurt you."

He reached out to tie her belt, and when his fingertips touched the delicate skin at her waist, he paused slightly and asked again, "Are you scared?"

Wei Hanzhang avoided his hand, stood up from him, straightened her dress, lowered her head and said, "I hope we don't meet again before we get married."

"That won't do." Xiao Junzhan looked at her slightly stiff body and said firmly, "It will take at least several months for us to get married. It won't do for me to not see you for such a long time."

She spoke in a hurry, and the rejection that was hard to hide in her words reappeared, and Xiao Junzhan's mood, which had just improved, suddenly sank.

It felt like being tied with stones and sinking into the water, sore and painful.

The pain made him frown, and he even felt a little annoyed for a moment.

Because of the influence she had on him, just a few simple words could determine whether he was happy or angry.

...Why? The person opposite him didn't say anything for a long time. The atmosphere became tense for some reason. Wei Hanzhang felt a little uneasy.

After a long silence, he suddenly stood up, walked over in two steps, lowered his eyes and asked, "Ran Ran said before that she loves me and only me. Do you still mean it?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang clenched his fists and replied, "Really."

Xiao Junzhan nodded slightly, smiling: "Since you are serious, then Ranran, remember to treat me as before, and don't suddenly change your attitude and let me misunderstand your feelings."

He lowered his head and held her in his arms, with some force. He put his lips next to her ear and whispered, "My dear girl, I have given you my whole heart. Please don't waste it."

Before Wei Hanzhang could say anything, he was picked up by the waist and led directly to the inner room. He couldn't help but said in panic: "What are you doing? Put me down, I can walk by myself."

"Don't move. Let me see if you are hurt." As he said that, he laid the man on the couch and rudely untied the belt that had just been tied.

"No, I'm not hurt. If you're worried, I'll let Luzhu and Lulan take a look later." She hurriedly stopped him, grabbed his hand, and said, "Don't take off my clothes."

The moment his hand was held, he stopped moving.

This was the first time today that she took the initiative to hold his hand, except for breaking free from his arms.

He loved her initiative so much that he couldn't bear to brush it off for a moment.

It was so long that Wei Hanzhang thought he had given up the decision to take off his clothes, but he continued despite being dissuaded.

Xiao Junzhan smiled and said, "I can't let anyone else see my Ran Ran, not even my maid."

He moved quickly and cleanly, and his outer shirt was quickly taken off.

There are not many clothes in summer, and after taking off the outer shirt, there is only a waisted skirt inside.

Wei Hanzhang clutched his chest tightly and said angrily, "If you take off my clothes again, I..."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at her calmly: "What do you want?"

That nonchalant attitude made Wei Hanzhang even more angry, and he said in anger: "I will commit suicide!"

Xiao Junzhan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ran Ran, do you know that it is a serious crime for a royal concubine to commit suicide?"

"Yesterday, Ranran took the initiative to take off my clothes. Today, I am just imitating you, and you are threatening to commit suicide..."

He stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, clasping her towards him, and sighed, "You usually love reading storybooks, have you also imitated the characters in them? The unfaithful people in the storybook I just read were not as cruel as Ranran is now."

"...I didn't." She subconsciously refused to admit that she was a heartless person, and she hesitated and said, "I just don't want to mess around anymore."
