Los walked forward while holding her in his arms, but he felt that this posture was too awkward, so he simply picked her up sideways and put her on the bed, then pressed on her.
Lan Shuang was pressed down on the bed by him and reached out to push him away: "It's so heavy, get up..."
"No." Los pressed on her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, then said, "I'm sorry."
Kissing the bridge of the nose, "I was wrong."
Kiss on the side of the cheek: "I won't dare to do that next time."
A kiss on the chin: "Don't be angry, okay?"
A kiss on the lips: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Lan Shuang: "I... um!"
He just gave a notice and had no intention of accepting Lan Shuang's rejection. Although he usually looked very gentle, that was just an appearance. The strength and dominance in his bones could not be hidden at certain times.
He has always been like this, but after meeting Lan Shuang, he willingly hid those dark and violent thorns for fear of hurting her.
He once said that Lan Shuang was his rose, but in fact, he was the one who was truly like a rose, gorgeous and dangerous, soft and sharp.
In front of Lan Shuang, he is willing to show his most beautiful and gentle side, while the dark side grows wildly in the dark night.
"Los...Los..."
Lan Shuang was almost out of breath. Los came back to his senses, stood up slightly, supported his hands on the sides of her face, and looked at her face which was slightly red due to her rapid breathing and her lips which were shining with water.
"Are you still angry?"
Ross rubbed his nose against hers affectionately.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Still angry? I'm about to die!
This mermaid is so bad!
"I really am..." Lan Shuang said half a sentence helplessly, collapsing on the bed with her eyes blank.
"What is the truth?" Los couldn't help but bite Lan Shuang's slightly swollen lips again.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Los successfully received a blow from Lan Shuang's Eye Knife.
"I really can't do anything about you!" Lan Shuang said gritting her teeth while pinching Los's face.
Ross chuckled softly, his warm breath carrying a faint minty scent wafting across Lan Shuang's face. "I know my limits. I'm a mermaid. That little injury won't affect me. Besides, it can help you, right? I heard everything you said to the king on the steps."
Lan Shuang was stunned: "You heard everything? Your hearing is so good?"
Los: "Well, the talent of the mermaid."
"I see." Lan Shuang's anger had almost subsided. She patted the place beside her and said, "Lie down. Stop practicing plank support on me."
Ross smiled and rolled over to lie next to her, "Yeah."
Lan Shuang leaned her head towards him and said, "I had a showdown with the king. I told him that even though he doesn't like me, my status is there, and it's not easy for him to destroy me. So we might as well just make do with each other. Since he likes Lan Sisi, let her be a carefree princess."
"I will treat her well, I swear on my name, and Ossie..."
When the name was mentioned, Los's eyes darkened, "What about him?"
"Heh." Lan Shuang chuckled. "The family behind him has been rapidly expanding in recent years, and their ambitions are growing. If I marry Ao Xi, I'll just be a puppet. No matter who succeeds me or Lan Sisi, as long as I give birth to Ao Xi's child, I'll be used as a pawn by them in the future."
"The king is so conceited and concerned about his reputation, he certainly won't tolerate such a thing happening, right?" Los said thoughtfully.
"Yes, I was picking on the king's weak spot. He thought it made sense and was shaken. I took the opportunity to say that you have no power and influence, so it would be difficult for you to stir up trouble. Compared to Ossie, you are the best choice for the queen."
Lan Shuang paused and looked up at Luo Si's face: "Do you feel uncomfortable when I say this?"
Ross shook his head and stroked Lan Shuang's face with one hand, his eyes full of tenderness and tolerance: "No, because I understand what you mean. You are not belittling me, but just trying to convince the king from the aspects that he cares about."
"It's such a blessing to have an understanding lover!" Lan Shuang's roller coaster mood suddenly reached its peak.
Ross: "I am lucky to have you."
…
The two of them stayed in bed for a while before Los got up, took a shower and changed his clothes.
In just a short while, the news of the cancellation of the engagement between the eldest princess and Viscount Osi had spread throughout the palace, and from the palace as the center, it spread to every corner of the capital.
After returning home, Osi was locked up directly. After finding out the whole story, they knew they were in the wrong and did not dare to go to the King and Lan Shuang to argue, so they could only endure it.
Osi was depressed and was ordered to reflect on his actions at home.
Osi was not released until Lan Shuang's welcoming banquet began.
…
The capital city had been turbulent for the past few days, yet it maintained a semblance of calm. As night fell, the palace was brightly lit, and the melodious sounds of classical piano echoed from the magnificent halls.
Ladies and young ladies in bright clothes and exquisite makeup came together, while gentlemen and nobles stood aside, holding wine glasses and greeting each other.
The scarlet dark-patterned carpet stretched from the hall all the way to the palace gate. Ossi got off the carriage, wearing a black suit. He looked more composed, but his frivolous eyes still betrayed his immature heart.
After getting off the carriage, he strode towards the hall. Just as he reached the door, he saw another carriage slowly stopped beside him. He turned his head to look and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Her Royal Highness the Second Princess!"
Lan Sisi placed her hand in the maid's palm, wearing a white lace glove, and carefully got off the carriage, holding up her skirt. Seeing Osi standing next to her, she was stunned for a moment, "Viscount Osi."
Ossi extended his hand eagerly to help her, but she dodged him.
Lan Sisi supported the maid, smiled at him and said, "I'll go in first. Excuse me."
After saying that, he walked straight past Ossi without even looking at him.
Ossi: “…”
He stood there in disappointment, frowning.
The hall was bustling with people in elegant clothes. After Lan Sisi entered, she looked forward and didn't see Lan Shuang. She didn't know what to feel.
She wanted to see her, but was afraid to see her.
My existence is a thorn in Lan Shuang's side, right?
She lowered her eyes and found a girl she knew and started chatting with her.
After Osi came in, his eyes were always on her, but Lan Sisi pretended not to know.
"Welcome everyone to tonight's dinner."
The Queen stood on the front dais and announced, "Our Princess has survived a tragic disaster and returned safely. That's why we are hosting this banquet tonight to announce it to the world."
"Let us give the warmest applause to our protagonist of the night, Princess Lan Shuang Modo!"
Everyone applauded out of respect and looked towards the entrance.
After the applause gradually died down, Lan Shuang walked in on time with her arm around Los.
