Miss Xia had just broken off her engagement with the Xiao family and then married into the Xiao family. The twists and turns of the marriage were beyond anyone's imagination, so people could only speculate with their own embellishments. However, Miss Xia was so beautiful that, in the entire city of Luo, apart from the heir of the Xiao family, no one else could be worthy of her.
At Princess Xiao's birthday banquet, the atmosphere was lively. Prince Xiao was unwell and unable to receive guests, so only Princess Xiao and the Crown Prince showed up to support the event.
Feng Guang would definitely attend such a banquet if she received an invitation, especially since she had regained her status as the future heir apparent of the Xiao Prince's mansion. However, she really didn't like these hypocritical social interactions.
"Are you tired of her?" Qi Mu pulled her hand and retreated to a corner where it was dark and inconspicuous, allowing him to be closer to her.
She nodded honestly, "I don't like this kind of scene, but I have to get used to it."
"I'm sorry." Qi Mu held her hand. She had always preferred peace and quiet. He knew her and knew that she could handle these big occasions very well. He didn't want to change her in any way, but he wanted her to adapt to the identity of the Crown Prince's wife as soon as possible, because he couldn't wait to hold the wedding.
Feng Guang gently rested her head on his chest. "It's okay, I can do it well, as long as we're together."
Qi Mu placed his hand on her waist and whispered, "Good girl, I really want to take you right now."
Her face flushed crimson, and she bit her lip, softly calling his name: "Qi Mu."
"Yes, I'm here." He smiled.
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Feng Guang's shyness vanished. She felt a warm glow in her heart, as if he could always be there for her, sheltering her from the storm, no matter how dangerous the situation.
"Amu, I like you."
“I know.” Her sudden and bold confession made him chuckle softly, his eyes overflowing with warm laughter. He slowly said, “Fengguang, I love you.”
Love is stronger than liking; possessiveness will follow.
Feng Guang finally heard those three words, but she never expected it to be in this kind of situation. She glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to this corner. She boldly hugged him, but quickly let go. Qi Mu was not satisfied with that. He grabbed her hand and led her to a darker corner where the moonlight was blocked by tall trees. He pushed her against the wall and kissed her lips fiercely, while his hand went under her skirt.
Someone could pass by at any moment, making Fengguang's movements even more tense, yet also instinctively shy and eager. Her reason told her to be reserved, but her body told her she wanted to be possessed by him. These contradictory reactions only made him more frantically demand more from her.
Xia Chao searched for half a circle but couldn't find his daughter. Seeing Princess Xiao standing at the entrance of the hall, he asked, "Has Your Highness seen the scenery?"
Princess Xiao forced a smile and said, "It was Mu'er who saw that Miss Xia was too bored in the hall, so she took her out for a walk. Master Xia, you don't need to worry."
Princess Xiao, who had been keeping a close eye on her son, naturally noticed the young couple's actions. She saw Qi Mu pulling Feng Guang into the shadows. Having been young herself, she could guess what would happen. However, she was certain that if she went to stop them, even the superficial harmony of her mother-son relationship with Qi Mu would be destroyed.
Putting aside the fact that Xia Fengguang was once Qi Duan's fiancée, Princess Xiao had no complaints about her. Moreover, her son Qi Mu and his father, who was also her husband, had absolutely no resemblance except for their appearances.
Thinking of that man again, Princess Xiao closed her eyes and silently uttered "Amitabha."
