The angrier Kang Yueran got, the happier Chai Shijing became. "I didn't say anything excessive. If they misunderstand me, what can I do?"
"Nonsense! If you had just been normal when you spoke to me, they wouldn't have misunderstood you!"
Chai Shijing looked innocent and said, "I always talk like this!"
His refusal to admit it made Kang Yueran even more angry. "Chai Shijing, I'm warning you, if anyone else misunderstands that you and I are having an affair, I'll beat you up!"
"You're being unreasonable. Zuo Bai is obviously a big mouth. Who knows? Someone else might already know about this."
"That's all because of you. You just walked away, and I'm still in Anzhou. What should I do? What about my reputation?"
Kang Yueran's voice was very loud. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If three people spread the word, it would become a tiger. There was no telling what kind of rumors it would spread.
Even if no one dared to say it to her face, others would definitely laugh at her in their hearts, saying that a toad wanted to eat swan flesh, and that a female bandit actually dared to covet a first-rank prince.
She stood up suddenly and said, "Chai Shijing, this is all caused by you. I don't care. Go and explain it to them now."
Chai Shijing looked at Kang Yueran's red face and laughed out loud, "I..."
Kang Yueran walked around to the back of the desk, stood next to Chai Shijing, and said angrily: "How dare you laugh? Do you have the nerve to laugh? Hurry up and get up and explain!"
She raised her fist and threatened, "Don't force me to use violence!"
Chai Shijing straightened his back and said seriously, "If you are really angry, then I will let you hit me."
Kang Yueran didn't dare to really hit him, but if she didn't hit him, she would feel wronged. It was Chai Shijing's fault, so why should she become a laughing stock? "Go and explain yourself!"
Seeing Kang Yueran's aggrieved look, Chai Shijing's heart softened for no reason, and he agreed immediately. "Okay, I'll go explain."
After saying this, Chai Shijing was stunned. When did he ever speak without thinking?
Kang Yueran thought Chai Shijing regretted it and urged him, "Then why are you still standing there? Go quickly! Just say it, just say it, just say it..."
What should I say? Kang Yueran was so anxious that she was sweating. Several reasons flashed through her mind, but they were all rejected. A young man and woman of similar age, no matter what they said, others would think that their relationship was ambiguous.
It seems that she is bound to take the blame for this! Kang Yueran glared at Chai Shijing and broke Chai Shijing's desk with one palm.
Everything on the desk crashed to the ground. Yiming, who was outside, tried to rush in, but was stopped by Yili.
Chai Shijing knew that Kang Yueran was angry, and apologized dryly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it..."
"Chai Shijing! You still dare to say you didn't mean it? I believed you when you said you didn't mean it in the sweet potato field, but I explained it to you clearly afterwards. Are you stupid or do you have a bad memory?"
Chai Shijing looked at Kang Yueran with an unclear expression, "That's right, I don't plan to let you go! Yueran, will you come with me?"
Kang Yueran kicked the half-broken desk towards the door, and the desk hit the wall with a loud noise.
She taunted him, "Follow you? Follow you and get hunted? Chai Shijing, you have a pretty face, but besides that, what else can attract me?"
Chai Shijing caught the conversation, "Yueran, that means you like my face too, right?"
He stood up and tried to hold Kang Yueran's hand, but Kang Yueran shook him off. "The road to succession is treacherous. I dare not promise you anything, but Yueran, if I can really win in the end, I will not let you down."
"Don't let me down? Are you going to make me a noble lady or a concubine? Chai Shijing, I don't care!"
Kang Yueran pinched Chai Shijing's chin and teased him, "Why don't you stop fighting for the throne and become my male favorite? As long as you obey me, I promise to love and pamper you for the rest of your life."
Chai Shijing just let Kang Yueran pinch his chin and smiled bleakly, "I'm already in the game. If I don't fight, I'll only end up dead."
A miserable smile dissipated Kang Yueran's anger, and she suddenly let go of Chai Shijing, "I don't need you to explain anymore, but from now on, I don't want to be misunderstood because of you.
Chai Shijing, we are of different identities and will take different paths in the future. I don't want to be your enemy, nor do I want to walk with you. "
Seeing that she was about to leave, Chai Shijing grabbed her hand and said, "Yueran, you really..."
"Please call me Miss Kang, His Royal Highness Prince Ping! Also, let go of your hand!"
Kang Yueran's words were like a cold ice knife piercing into Chai Shijing's heart, making him feel both painful and cold.
There were two voices arguing in his heart. One said let her go, the Duke of Zhenguo could find another way; the other said you can't let her go, if you let her go you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Looking at Chai Shijing's painful and tangled expression, Kang Yueran felt a little bit reluctant. She hardened her heart and reminded him: "Let go of your hand!"
After a while, Chai Shijing seemed to have made up his mind.
He pulled Kang Yueran into his arms and hugged her with all his strength, "Yueran, I can't bear it, I can't let you go!"
Kang Yueran was caught off guard by Chai Shijing's embrace, but now she reacted and struggled to get away. She grabbed Chai Shijing's arm and squeezed it hard, "I think you want to get beaten!"
Chai Shijing didn't cry out in pain or struggle. With a firm look in his eyes and a smile on his lips, he said, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let you go!"
Kang Yueran was shocked by these words. She let go of his hand, pushed Chai Shijing away, and left quickly.
Yiming and Yili came in to tidy up the study.
Chai Shijing sat aside, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at his swollen left forearm in a daze. He was still surprised when he thought about the words that he had blurted out: "As long as he was alive, he would not let Kang Yueran go."
