Xia Muqing struggled a few times but failed to break free. She said angrily, “Your Highness, please have some self-respect. Men and women shouldn’t touch each other.”

Ye Qingxuan chuckled and said, “Who barged into my room so late at night? You’re the one who has ulterior motives towards me, right?”

“I shall fulfill your wish.”

As Ye Qingxuan spoke, he bent and approached her slowly.

Xia Muqing leaned back and dodged as she quickly explained, “I didn’t! I came to talk to you.”

Ye Qingxuan didn’t listen to her at all. Just as their lips were about to touch, there was a sound and Xia Muqing was left alone in the bathtub.

By the time she reacted and looked up, she saw that Ye Qingxuan had already put on a set of clothes. He was only wearing a shirt that was loosely tied at his waist with a belt. Most of his chest was exposed. His set had diminished the ferocious aura he possessed, and he looked extraordinarily devilish and seductive.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at Xia Muqing in the bathtub and raised an eyebrow. “You still want to continue?”

Seeing how eager he was, Xia Muqing quickly shook her head and rejected him. She wanted to stand up but just as she did so, she noticed his burning gaze. She lowered her head and quickly covered her chest before sitting back down.

Her clothes were drenched, and even her inner garments could be seen. Seeing that the man’s gaze was on her, she snapped angrily, “Turn around!”

Ye Qingxuan replied without any qualms, “You must have known that I asked the emperor for an imperial edict to marry you. What is wrong with seeing my princess consort?”

Xia Muqing was surprised by his shamelessness. Was this man still the mighty and decisive King Zhennan?

“Even with the imperial edict, we haven’t gotten married.”

Ye Qingxuan chuckled and answered, “So, are you reminding me to marry you as soon as possible?” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Seeing that she couldn’t outtalk him, Xia Muqing ignored him. She saw the white curtains on the shelf next to the tub and pulled them towards her, wrapping them around her the moment she came out of the water.

As the water droplets scattered, Xia Muqing’s disheveled hair spread. She was only wrapped in a white cloth, but it didn’t affect her beauty at all.

Ye Qingxuan was dumbstruck for a moment. Then, he quipped, “Since you’re looking for me, let’s talk about it.”

He walked out of the room and gestured for Xia Muqing to sit opposite him. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

After Xia Muqing was sure that she had wrapped herself tightly, she walked over. She came to look for him to get something.

But just now, she had lied and said that she was looking for him. Now, she could only continue lying.

She didn’t speak, and Ye Qingxuan didn’t rush her. He poured two cups of tea leisurely and placed them in front of her.

“Why do you want to ask the emperor for permission to marry me?” Xia Muqing asked.

“What do you think?” Ye Qingxuan smiled and didn’t answer.

“You’re using me as a shield?” She had already thought of all the reasons, and she felt that this was the most plausible.

Ye Qingxuan had always been highly skilled and the emperor was afraid of him. Previously, he was injured and so, the emperor didn’t do anything to him. Now that he had recovered, the emperor couldn’t wait to find a woman to control him.

Ye Qingxuan took a sip of his tea. His lowered eyes made it impossible for Xia Muqing to read his mind.

After a long while, he slowly drawled, “Since you think so, then so be it.”

Xia Muqing frowned. What did he mean?

“You should call off the engagement. I won’t marry you.” That was her purpose here today.

Ye Qingxuan said, “I’m King Zhennan. Do you know how many women want to marry me?”

Xia Muqing sneered. “Then please look for the women who want to marry you. I don’t want to marry you.”

As Xia Muqing spoke, she looked at his waist. There was an extremely poor-quality jade pendant hanging there. When she took a closer look, she could even see a missing corner of the jade pendant. It didn’t match his status..
