Chapter 54 Only for you

"Why do you want to cancel the engagement?" Ye Wuque asked directly.

Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt doubtful.

Why does this guy care so much about whether she cancels the engagement or not?

"The prince and I are not a good match."

She summed it up in one simple sentence.

After all, the story of being taken advantage of by Xiao Bicheng in her previous life was so outrageous that no one would believe her even if she dared to tell it.

After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Ye Wuque staring at her, his eyes flickering with emotions that she couldn't see clearly.

Afraid that he would think she was an unreliable woman, she immediately analyzed the pros and cons with him.

"Don't think that besides the Crown Prince, there is also Prince Yong. Prince Yong is not a good guy either. He is extremely ambitious and stubborn. If he regrets it later..."

"Okay." Ye Wuque agreed without waiting for her to finish, "What do you want me to do?"

"Ah?" Xie Zhuoning was stunned again.

When did the Western Chu prince, who has a strange temper, become so easy to talk to?

Ye Wuque raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't tell me, I will regret it."

Xie Zhuoning quickly spoke up, "I want you to ask for the hand in marriage of Saint Bai Yingxue at the banquet tonight!"

Ye Wuque raised his hand and said, "See you out."

"Hey, hey, hey, listen to me!" Xie Zhuoning hurriedly explained, "You probably haven't heard of the legend of the Saint, right? A strange phenomenon fell from the sky, and the Saint was born. Whoever gets the Saint will get the world!"

"Heh," Ye Wuque sneered, "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Okay, since you don't want to, then it seems like we can't form this alliance. Goodbye." Xie Zhuoning said, turned around and ran away.

Since he said "see her off", does that mean he wants to let her go?

"Stop!" Ye Wuque was so angry at her that he almost lost his mind. He immediately stood up and chased after her.

He finally had a chance to run, but there was no way he could stop. Not only did Xie Zhuoning not stop, he ran even faster.

She had been to the inn before and was familiar with the terrain. In a short while, she ran to a hidden side door.

She opened the door and was about to step out when Ye Wuque caught up with her.

That lewd laughter seemed to echo in my ears, "Xiao Cao'er, I will not let you slip away from me again."

As he spoke, his hand had already grasped the back of her collar.

Xie Zhuoning only felt a cold murderous aura coming towards him, and he cried out "Alas" in his heart.

It’s over!

But the murderous aura passed through her and attacked Ye Wuque behind her.

Ye Wuque loosened his grip and was forced to take two steps back. He raised his head and looked at the person who came, his eyes narrowed.

Before Xie Zhuoning could even react with surprise, he was pulled behind someone.

"Don't come over yet!"

When she raised her head, Xiao Jinxuan was standing in front of her.

He was murderous, with a cold aura, and even his eyes and eyebrows were filled with murderous aura.

Many people say that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is a man of elegant appearance, proud and unrestrained.

But they forgot that he had already killed enemies on the battlefield at the age of thirteen, with an unstoppable aura.

Xie Zhuoning's eyes rolled, and he made a prompt decision. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands, until they turned red, and then pinched his artificial voice, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you finally came to save me. I thought I was going to die in there, sob~"

Glancing at her, Xiao Jinxuan said expressionlessly, "I see you seem to enjoy being held by someone."

This guy had already figured out it was her!

Xie Zhuoning tugged at his sleeve and sobbed, "I didn't mean to do that. He holds my life in his hands. What can I do? I can only bear the humiliation and swallow my anger..."

"Alright," Xiao Jinxuan stopped her, "I understand."

As soon as he came out of the inn, he immediately grabbed Yunheng and forced her to tell him what had happened.

When I realized that she was forced onto the street and accidentally fell off the bridge, my anger had already subsided by a large margin.

Just as he was thinking of entering the inn through the side door to get her out, he ran into her escaping by herself.

Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem angry, and quickly hid behind him like a little wife.

She looked like someone was supporting her.

That expression and posture were something Ye Wuque had never seen before.

He seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and entrusted his entire life and fortune to Xiao Jinxuan.

Does she trust him that much?

Ye Wuque clenched his fists and almost blurted out, "How dare you be with him? Do you know that you will..."

What will happen?

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He swallowed the rest of his words and smiled again, "Forget it, you can run away once, but you can't run away twice. In the end, you will still come back to me."

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, look, he is threatening me!" Xie Zhuoning pouted and complained.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Ye Wuque and warned him implicitly, "Your Highness may not know that she is not an ordinary woman. She is the Crown Princess appointed by our Lord Ye, the future mother of the country. If this matter affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I am afraid that the Crown Prince will have a hard time explaining it when he returns!"

The diplomatic relations between the two countries have been brought up, so Ye Wuque couldn't make too much of a fuss. He changed the subject and said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Xuan is right. I was rude. In fact, I already have a loved one. I was just joking with Miss Xie just now."

Xiao Jinxuan said: "Since it was a misunderstanding, please keep Miss Xie's secret. I will be very grateful."

Hearing this, Ye Wuque looked at him with complicated eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

It would be fine if Xie Zhuoning trusted him, but why would he stand up to protect Xie Zhuoning?

The two of them should be enemies who will never stop fighting.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Zhuoning, "Of course. After all, Miss Xie is very important to me."

Xiao Jinxuan's face darkened after hearing those meaningful words.

He was always well-mannered, but even his words were a little angry. "That's good. Goodbye!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

Glancing at Xie Zhuoning standing there stupidly, he frowned and asked, "Are you not leaving yet?"

"Oh, here I come. Your Highness Prince Xuan, please wait for me, I can't keep up~"

She lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted after him.

The man who was walking fast in front did not look back, but he actually slowed down.

"Interesting." Ye Wuque looked at the two people's backs, thoughtfully.

It seems that some variables have occurred that he is unaware of.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, will you listen to my explanation?" Xie Zhuoning caught up with Xiao Jinxuan and walked over to him with a smile.

Xiao Jinxuan said in a calm tone, "What do you have to explain to me?"

He is not related to her.

Xie Zhuoning always felt that he could detect a sour taste in his voice.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I like you so much, of course I have to explain it to you clearly, otherwise what if you misunderstand me?"

Xiao Jinxuan paused and glanced at her with complicated eyes, "Did you coax the Prince of Western Chu in the same way?"

Looking at the way that guy looked at Xie Zhuoning, he didn't know why, but he always felt very uncomfortable.

"How can that be possible!" Xie Zhuoning said confidently, "I only do this to you~"

A lying little liar.

Xiao Jinxuan had a blank expression on his face and turned away.

His steps were much slower, as if he was waiting for someone.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows, feeling frightened.

Xiao Jinxuan is indeed becoming more and more weird.

Now no one scolds her anymore!
