I stopped thinking about anything and quickly snuggled into Xie Yuancheng's arms, refusing to come out. He brushed aside the beaded curtain of my hair ornament, laughing out loud from time to time.
"Stop laughing!" I thought we were going to ride horses. I hit him as soon as we got on the carriage. "If you laugh again, we'll go ride horses!"
"Ying'er~ Who taught you to dress like this today? You look so beautiful! I'll reward you when we get back!"
"Hmph! I dressed myself up. I just applied the reddest rouge and wore this red dress, of course I look good. I'm beautiful every day!"
"Yes~ Today is so special, let me take a good look." I thought he was just admiring it, but he actually started touching me. I pressed his hand down, "Ying'er, isn't dressing like this just so you want me to pamper you? Let go."
"We're going out, don't be silly! And you could have refused, why did you want to go see some garden? It's so cold, why don't you go home and sleep!"
"No, since he's already said it, of course I have to make him give up, otherwise I'll be in big trouble later." My face was covered in his breath, and I tried to push him away several times, but he wouldn't get up.
"Then get up first, I can't breathe properly." It's better to just make up an excuse. It's much more comfortable for me to lean on Xie Yuancheng than to have him pressing down on me.
"Ying'er, turn your face so I can see you." Doesn't she get tired? I refuse to turn my face away. "You little rascal, you're making me use tricks again."
"Wait a minute, just sit down, we'll talk about it when we get back." I touched my clothes, then touched my hair ornament. "Your hair is down, you're just wearing a hair ornament and some rouge, how did that make you stare like that?"
"Really, you have to believe in yourself. Let me take a good look." Xie Yuancheng's hands were really cold. I held him in my arms to warm them up after his eyes became glazed over.
"Don't worry about getting cold. I'll warm you up. You won't be cold anymore once you get warm." This outfit isn't mine; I don't know whose it is. It's a bit too tight.
"Ying'er~ I need to lean on you." I broke out in a cold sweat, and I wasn't feeling normal again. Considering that Xie Yuancheng was injured because of me, I quickly loosened my clothes a bit, otherwise they would be too tight and I wouldn't be able to breathe properly.
"That's great, I'll dress you up nicely when we get back, Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng was a little dumbfounded. I grabbed a cushion from the side to lean on so he wouldn't bump into it.
Xie Yuancheng just likes to fidget. I held his hand down and said, "Don't fidget. The carriage is already cramped. If I'm not happy, I won't let you warm your hands."
"No, Ying'er is bullying me. I'll just hold you and sleep with you." My ears were about to fall off. Xie Yuancheng even imitated me and clung to me. I was dumbfounded. He really knows how to imitate. Is this how I usually act?
"Fine, we're already one anyway. Come on, but don't tickle me, or I'll feel really uncomfortable."
In the crucial moment, I was the one who stood up for myself, and Xie Yuancheng clung to me like a little woman. His subordinates should see this, and then they'll see how he establishes his authority.
I massaged the acupoints on both sides of his head. When he was sleeping peacefully, he was so adorable. The more I looked at him, the more I liked him. I kissed him between the eyebrows.
"Ying'er~ You ambushed me, that's not how you kiss someone." He propped himself up, and I covered his mouth. Seeing Xie Yuancheng's face turn red was really funny.
"I, I won't cover you next time. We've arrived at the Prince's Mansion, get off the carriage quickly." I had already hidden by the carriage when the Second Prince's voice rang out, and I quickly went along with it.
"Ying'er, when we get back you'll see what happens when you cover my mouth." Hmph! He looked so sinister, but I wasn't afraid of him. When he made his move, I'd have my own way of dealing with it.
I must say, Xie Yuancheng's vanity project was really well done. When I got off the carriage, I thought it was a completely different person.
"Madam, let's go inside the mansion and take a look." What a great actor, everything he does is just right. I remember back in 2020, when that agent approached him to act, he really has a good eye.
"Your Highness, you're back." It was the Second Princess's voice. I looked over. Had she really come to her senses, or was she just putting on an act for the Second Prince? Wasn't she supposed to be a jealous woman? Last time, she even slapped Caiwei in front of so many people.
"My lord, please!" When the Second Prince's eyes swept over me, I stepped back a little to Xie Yuancheng's side. I didn't want to go back and be punished by Xie Yuancheng because of him; it wouldn't be worth it at all.
"Ying'er~ You're such a good girl. Come with me in a bit and don't talk to anyone else." I glanced at Xie Yuancheng, then deliberately turned my face to him and smiled. I should take advantage of any opportunity.
When I entered the mansion, I saw many people kneeling. The Second Prince's mansion was truly luxurious. You could tell from this mansion that the royal family was really rich and liked to waste money.
The floors were inlaid with gold, and the railings along the corridor were made of fragrant wood. I remembered that there used to be a corridor made of fragrant wood in the mansion, but it wasn't as long as this one, and my father cut it down later.
From the moment I entered the mansion, I felt like I was in the Ji family mansion. This place is even more luxurious, but the layout is really similar to the Ji family mansion. Especially when I passed the Second Prince's gate, it was practically my own courtyard.
"Yingying, does it feel like coming home?" I was looking at it. I could see things here that my parents wouldn't give me before, but times have changed. Why would I still like these things? The Second Prince is being too kind.
"Ying'er~ I can make these places too. Ying'er Residence is much better than the whole mansion." Xie Yuancheng is so stupid. How could I like this place? Of course I like Linyang.
"My lord, don't talk nonsense. I still prefer the time in Linyang. It was much freer there than here." I turned to look at the Second Prince. "Your Highness, please go back to how you were before. We are not destined to be together."
Even if the exterior is made to look exactly like Xie Yuancheng, he's not Xie Yuancheng. If he appeared when I didn't like Xie Yuancheng, I might like him, but none of that matters.
"Your Highness, you heard that too, didn't you? No matter how strong the red thread is, you can't take Ying'er away!" I pinched Xie Yuancheng's arm, wondering if he had said something wrong.
"She was always mine. I am the one Yingying should be with in this life. It was you who interfered and forced her to be with you!"
"No, Yuan Cheng wouldn't threaten me!" This statement really cleared Xie Yuan Cheng's name. Didn't he threaten me at the beginning? "Second Prince, we really are not destined to be together. Don't waste your time. Cherish the people around you."
"You remember this." The Second Prince took out a pendant with cloisonné enamel on it. This was mine. I was about to reach for it when Xie Yuancheng snatched it away.
"It's just a toy from when we were kids. Besides, the red string on it has fallen off, so there's no way you two can continue your relationship."
I went to see Xie Yuancheng. What did this mean? Xie Yuancheng pulled me into his arms and said, "Where else is there? We'll see it all at once, so you can finally give up on me."
