son, don't mess around

The night was dark and the moon was high. On the rooftop, the north wind raged, making the woman's skirt flutter and sway, reflecting her tall and slender figure.

In my line of sight, there was a woman dressed in black, her robes fluttering in the wind. A gold-trimmed sash held her slender waist in place, and her hair was tied up, revealing a delicate, fair face.

She walked gracefully on the roof tiles, her face beautiful, a playful smile on her lips, approaching step by step.

She was dashing and beautiful as a person.

When Lin Jiangnian saw the elegant figure suddenly appear in his line of sight, he was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised and delighted.

"It's you?"

"Why are you here?"

The woman stepped closer, finally stopping a short distance in front of Lin Jiangnian. She stood there, a half-smile playing on her lips as she looked at him.

"What? Shouldn't I have come here?"

"I really shouldn't have come."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and smiled: "If you fall into the hands of the imperial court, you're finished!"

"But I still came, didn't I?"

The woman spoke, seemingly not taking her current dangerous situation seriously.

The world is vast, and she can go wherever she wants; no one can stop her.

"Come to find me?"

Lin Jiangnian's gaze fell on the woman in front of him. Half a year had passed, and she seemed to have changed nothing, but she also seemed to have become fairer, more mature, and more womanly.

What does Your Highness think?

"That's right."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized something, then asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"His Highness's high-profile appearance among the imperial army has already spread far and wide. Is there any fear of being discovered?" the woman retorted.

Lin Jiangnian understood, then looked at her with some doubt: "But weren't you in Xuzhou? When did you arrive?"

"How does Your Highness know so much about my whereabouts?"

Xu Chaoge's eyes sparkled: "Could it be that you're secretly watching me?"

"That's not."

Lin Jiangnian naturally didn't deny it: "I'm still waiting for you to be my slave. What if you change your mind and run away?"

"We have to keep an eye on you."

"Giggle!"

Xu Chaoge laughed, a bright and cheerful laugh.

Princess Xu stepped forward again, walked to Lin Jiangnian's side, gently adjusted her skirt, sat down beside him, turned to look at him, and smiled: "Your Highness, how would you like me to serve you like a slave?"

Looking at the exquisite and elegant face before him, Lin Jiangnian's smile widened: "Does this even need to be taught by this young master?"

Xu Chaoge sighed softly, "I've never been someone's slave before, so I have no experience."

"Your Highness is not sincere!" Lin Jiangnian sighed.

"What does Your Highness consider to be true sincerity?"

"Then we'll see how Your Highness performs."

"Performance?"

Xu Chaoge's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Jiangnian's seemingly malicious yet playful gaze. As if realizing something, she smiled slightly and suddenly reached out to lift the hem of her skirt.

In the stillness of the night, on the rooftop, a pair of shapely, snow-white legs gradually came into view. Following the curve of the legs upwards, the sexy hooks of the thighs accentuated the even whiter skin of the thighs hidden deep within the skirt...

"Is this the performance Your Highness was referring to...?"

Xu Chaoge's meaningful, yet gentle breath came from the side. Her voice was soft, yet tinged with a hint of allure.

Lin Jiangnian, who was standing next to him, was slightly startled, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"Your Highness, you're quite perceptive, aren't you?"

Lin Jiangnian's gaze fell on the pair of long, beautiful legs beneath the skirt beside him, and he was slightly moved. He had to admit, even with his vast experience, he couldn't help but marvel at how this Princess Xu had pulled off such a stunt.

Imagine, a noble princess, an aloof and unapproachable woman, now secretly lifting her skirt to show him on the roof of the imperial army camp in the middle of the night.

What is this called?
There's a bit of contrast involved!

This Princess Xu is truly a woman of great talent!

"Lift it up a little higher."

Lin Jiangnian made his assessment without changing his expression.

Xu Chaoge's face flushed slightly. She bit her lower lip and raised an eyebrow: "Then, shall I strip naked right here and let Your Highness have a good look at me?"

"If the princess is willing, I have no objection."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, and Xu Chaoge looked at Lin Jiangnian; their eyes met. In the darkness, it seemed as if a silent standoff was taking place.

Xu Chaoge suddenly laughed.

She has a beautiful smile. She has a very strong personality, but occasionally she can also reveal a gentle side.

For example, right now, her eyebrows are curved, and her gaze is lingering on Lin Jiangnian's face.

She suddenly reached down to her waist and gently tugged, causing the gold-embroidered belt, a symbol of her noble status, to fall down.

A black outfit fell open, revealing a white inner lining. As the white inner lining was lifted, an undergarment covering a snow-white courtyard gate was revealed.

Xu Chaoge's fair skin was exposed in the cold winter night, but she seemed oblivious to the chill as she took off her clothes.

Until, a hand stopped her.

"okay!"

Lin Jiangnian grabbed Xu Chaoge's hand, stopping her from taking off any more clothes, and covered her with the clothes she had just taken off.

In this freezing weather, the skin on her hands was icy cold.

Xu Chaoge looked at him and blinked: "Your Highness, aren't you going to watch anymore?"

"Stop acting with me."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Trying to play hard to get with me, huh?"

Xu Chaoge looked aggrieved and said softly, "Your Highness, how could a mere woman know how to act?"

"If Your Highness truly wishes to see, I will naturally strip completely so that Your Highness may have a good look."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her, and Xu Chaoge's eyes were bright and watery, as if she were really wronged.

Their eyes met, and Lin Jiangnian spoke: "Since Princess Xu wishes to undress, this young master should naturally give her face and enjoy the view, however..."

"Let's talk about why you're here first."

"What purpose could a mere woman have?"

"Are you still trying to fool me?"

Lin Jiangnian chuckled, "You barged into the imperial army camp so late at night and showed up here. You didn't actually come here to flirt with me, did you?"

Xu Chaoge retorted, "Is that not allowed?"

"You're a traitor now. If you get caught, it will be a heavy blow to your Xu Prince's Mansion. I know you; you wouldn't do something so dangerous... You came to see me tonight, so it must be something important, right?"

Xu Chaoge looked at Lin Jiangnian, and after a while, sighed: "You've become smarter, it's all lost its charm."

"I have always been very clever."

"is it?"

Xu Chaoge stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, then suddenly leaned closer: "Can Your Highness guess why I've come to see you?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't speak, he just looked at her.

A faint smile appeared on Xu Chaoge's face, then her eyes narrowed: "I came here, naturally, to... kill you!"

A murderous intent surged in her voice, and the next second, Lin Jiangnian felt a bone-chilling coldness in his chest.

"Once you die, your Linwang Mansion will surely be thrown into chaos. At that time, it will be the opportunity for my Xuwang Mansion to break the deadlock."

Xu Chaoge's cold voice rang in Lin Jiangnian's ears.

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head, his gaze falling on his chest. His clothes had been lifted up at some point, and a fair hand with snow-white skin and slender fingers was covering his chest, gently caressing it.

My skin was icy cold, and I felt a bone-chilling cold.

It's so cold!

"Are you trying to kill me, or are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"Of course I want to kill you."

Xu Chaoge smiled broadly, tilting her head back slightly to gaze at Lin Jiangnian's face. She sighed softly, "But I'm a little reluctant to kill you." Lin Jiangnian raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"You saved my life several times, how could I kill my savior?"

Lin Jiangnian smiled enigmatically: "Would people like us accept such a promise?"

"Of course I wouldn't acknowledge it with others, but..."

Xu Chaoge parted her red lips slightly: "Who told me to be your servant?"

"I haven't even served you like a slave yet, how could I kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly smiled, a very bright smile.

He grabbed Xu Chaoge's hand that was resting on her chest, pulled her into his arms, and sat her in his lap. His large hand then slipped inside her clothes, which she hadn't yet closed.

"You're touching it wrong, you should touch it like this!"

Lin Jiangnian demonstrated it to Xu Chaoge on the spot.

Xu Chaoge's delicate body stiffened abruptly, her figure shrinking slightly as if she had been strongly stimulated. But then, she forced herself to endure it.

She gently bit her lower lip, her eyes brimming as she looked at Lin Jiangnian, her voice slightly breathless.

"Your Highness's technique is so skillful, you must have touched quite a few other women, right?"

"That's not what you should ask."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "So, you've fallen for me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Does this need to be said?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced down and saw that the collar of the garment was open.

The snow-white and crimson colors shimmered.

Xu Chaoge's face grew even redder. She wrapped her arms around Lin Jiangnian's neck and adjusted her position so that Lin Jiangnian's hands could touch her more smoothly.

She rested her head lightly on Lin Jiangnian's shoulder, her breathing becoming more rapid, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice full of tension.

"Forget it, guess it."

"Really?"

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiangnian looked down at her and then burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Xu Chaoge, embarrassed and annoyed, reached out and punched him twice, but before she could finish, Lin Jiangnian pinched her again in retaliation.

Xu Chaoge's delicate body trembled and tensed up again.

"The dignified Princess Xu, taking the initiative to throw herself into my arms, is something I never dared to imagine."

Lin Jiangnian spoke with emotion, looking at Xu Chaoge's flushed face, feeling extremely happy.

The more Lin Jiangnian saw this proud woman display such a shy expression, the stronger his sense of satisfaction became.

"Is touching all you can do?"

Xu Chaoge breathed heavily, resting her head on Lin Jiangnian's shoulder: "Can you... do it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiangnian looked down at her and asked, "Are you provoking me?"

Xu Chaoge bared her teeth and lightly bit Lin Jiangnian's shoulder before looking away: "I've practically offered myself up, what do you say?"

"Are you impotent?!"

These words are extremely damaging to any man, and Lin Jiangnian is no exception.

Can he do it?

Logically speaking, Lin Jiangnian should prove himself and teach this arrogant Princess Xu a lesson.

But today, Lin Jiangnian did not.

He held Xu Chaoge in his arms, his large hand still inside her clothes, caressing her familiarly, his eyes half-closed: "Is it okay or not? Haven't you already felt it?"

Xu Chaoge's body stiffened, her face flushed, as if she had sensed something was amiss.

"Tell me about it."

Lin Jiangnian's tone shifted slightly as he looked at Xu Chaoge in his arms: "Did your father send you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaoge, who was in his arms, paused for a moment.

No words were spoken.

"It seems I guessed it right?"

Lin Jiangnian smiled.

This Princess Xu is different from others; she took the initiative to come to our door, and her purpose is not simple.

Lin Jiangnian was not so easily convinced.

Even the extent to which she genuinely liked him remains unknown.

Xu Chaoge remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I suppose so."

"Really?"

"He hopes to cooperate with your Prince Lin's Mansion."

Xu Chaoge looked up, her cheeks flushed, but her beautiful eyes seemed to hold some other strange emotion: "He said that as long as your Prince Lin's Mansion withdraws its troops, he is willing to share the Great Ning Dynasty's territory equally with your Prince Lin's Mansion. In the future, Prince Xu's Mansion will occupy the north, and Prince Lin's Mansion will occupy the south, ruling separately along the river, each ruling half of the world, without interfering with each other..."

After listening, Lin Jiangnian laughed and said, "Your father certainly has a good plan."

"However, his sincerity was indeed lacking; all that he said was just empty promises."

Xu Chaoge looked at him and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "So, he sent me here."

"He knows about our relationship and wants to give me to you so that our two families can form a marriage alliance. As for what your Lin family wants, he can agree to it, on the condition that you withdraw your troops."

"Tsk, that's quite a move!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Now you've certainly shown your sincerity."

Xu Chaoge stared at him: "Then will you agree?"

Lin Jiangnian countered, "Do you think I should agree?"

"you will not."

"So sure?"

Xu Chaoge slightly shifted her gaze, her tone indifferent: "For you, and for the Prince Lin's mansion, this is something that should not be agreed to, nor is it possible to agree to."

Lin Jiangnian asked, "Since you know, why did you ask?"

Xu Chaoge's eyes narrowed slightly: "I am Princess Xu, this is my duty. Even if I know it's impossible, there are some things I still have to do. And..."

At this point, Xu Chaoge looked up at Lin Jiangnian and chuckled softly, "I also want to see you."

Lin Jiangnian was taken aback.

Indeed, he had already guessed Xu Chaoge's purpose in appearing here tonight.

However, in the end, it was all in vain.

From the moment the Prince of Lin's army was dispatched, there was no turning back.

Lin Jiangnian was about to say something when Xu Chaoge interrupted him.

She chuckled softly: "You won't agree, and the Prince Lin's mansion will never agree. This war may have been a mistake from the very beginning."

"Perhaps it was destined from the beginning that our Xu Prince's Mansion would fail."

Xu Chaoge seemed to see things very clearly. She looked at Lin Jiangnian and smiled, "Since you have refused, it means that from now on, we are complete enemies."

Lin Jiangnian's heart tightened: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, nor will I be that extreme."

Xu Chaoge chuckled softly, gazing intently at Lin Jiangnian's face. She gently reached out and touched it, her voice softening slightly: "However, perhaps after today, we will never see each other again..."

"It's possible that the next time we meet, either you'll be dead or I'll be alive..."

"So, I'm here today. I wanted to see you, and I wanted to see you again. And, by the way, to fulfill the promise I made to you before..."

Xu Chaoge leaned close to Lin Jiangnian's ear and whispered.

"You've saved me so many times, my life is yours long ago. So tonight, it's my turn to be your slave..."

"Then you should treat me as yours..."

"Little bitch, huh?"
