Li Shushu became even more flustered when he asked this question.
She took a few steps back, but she didn't know that her retreat was blocked by a thick tree beside the road.
Xia Muyan certainly wouldn't let her go. He chased after her, supporting himself on the tree trunk with one hand and lifting her small chin with the other: "I regret this!"
He continued to blow into her ear in a hoarse voice: "When I saw you smiling sweetly beside Xia Muyu, I was so jealous that I wanted to kill someone."
He said, "I was wrong, I regret it! Can you come back?"
He gently touched her lips with his mouth, nodded, and continued to murmur: "Shu'er, in the past, I didn't understand.
But now, I understand, and I really regret it. Can you come back to me?"
Li Shushu seemed helpless: "Your Highness, you are joking. Now I am married and have family and worldly constraints.
It was certainly different from the unrestrained and bold behavior when he was on the mountain.
If there is nothing important, Your Highness, please let me go back as soon as possible.
If the Third Prince knew about this, I'm afraid..., well..."
Her little mouth was moving, and it seemed as if there were countless soft needles hidden inside. Although they were not fatal, they hit his heart and made him feel a sharp pain.
His eyes were filled with hostility, and he blocked her lips without saying a word, trying to block out her hurtful words!
At first, he was very strong and aggressive, charging forward as if to devour her completely...
Li Shushu had no power to resist in front of him. His body soon became weak and he was defeated.
Later, he learned it on his own, as if he had tasted a delicious delicacy, and began to pick and twist it slowly, savoring it carefully...
Li Shushu also seemed to feel a trickle of love, a lingering feeling. She couldn't help but want to reach out and hook her arm around his neck...
But gradually, she seemed to wake up!
No, they are wrong!
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she exerted all her strength, trying to push away the iron wall in front of her, but she couldn't move it at all. Instead, he grabbed her hands, raised them above her head, and continued to take whatever he wanted from her...
Li Shushu was so anxious that she burst into tears and sobbed.
After a long time, he finally let her go, and their foreheads touched. "You really don't like me? Is Xia Muyu really that good? Hmm?"
Li Shushu: "I don't know whether he is good or not.
I only know that if we are caught like this, we will be thrown into a pig cage..."
Xia Muyan was so angry that he laughed.
"I want to see who dares to put me in a pig cage."
Li Shushu curled her lips. "You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally no one would dare to throw you into a pig cage. But it's different for me. I am of humble status and have family ties to tie me down. I really don't dare to take the risk. I hope Your Highness..., let me go!"
Hearing this, his face turned ashen!
He grabbed Li Shushu's wrist and said, "Shu'er, you're wrong!
Since I have decided to return to the palace, there is no way I will let you go back to Xia Muyu.
Shu'er is so good, he is not worthy of you at all.
I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!
As for being thrown into the pig cage, unless someone dares to put me in the cage with you.
Otherwise, Shu'er, you can rest assured that I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest!"
Li Shushu: ...
Xia Muyan grabbed her wrist and dragged her to a side hall in the East Palace.
He had people clean up this side hall in the afternoon.
Due to the tight time schedule and heavy workload, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dispatched a lot of manpower and managed to finish the work neatly in just one afternoon.
Its layout and decoration are not inferior to that of the prince's main hall.
The weather was hot in midsummer, and even the ice jars in this hall were more numerous than those in other halls.
When Xia Muyan came home from court in the morning and gave these instructions, he had a faint expectation in his heart. He had a smile on his face at that time, imagining that the time he would reunite with Li Shushu would definitely be wonderful.
After all, in those few short days in the mountains, although the two did not express anything, they experienced a lot together.
He could feel that Li Shushu did not hate him, and even had an innate and strange concern for him.
Otherwise, why would she cry like that when she saw him taking effect of the poison, and why would she rush to feed him the medicine in that way?
Otherwise, why didn't she sleep with Xia Muyu that night when she returned to the Third Prince's Mansion?
He didn't believe in Xia Muyu's patience. There was only one possibility: Li Shushu had come up with some method and deliberately sent him away.
All afternoon, his mind was filled with various images of his upcoming reunion with her.
However, she didn't expect that instead of being excited and happy, she saw the couple's affectionate performance at the banquet.
He thought that maybe she was still mad at him and was deliberately showing it.
Or was it because of his status that Xia Muyu was forcing her to cooperate?
But just now, when there were no outsiders and only the two of them were left, her fear, her avoidance, and her subtle rejection did not seem fake!
This... what is going on?
Li Shushu's unreasonable and unexpected behavior made him scratch his head and bewildered.
So manic!
