Too high to reach

Chapter 62 Step by Step into the Abyss
Mo Wen returned to the living room, where laughter and cheerful conversation continued.

"Wenwen!" Madam Wang smiled proudly, "When you two stood together just now, I realized what a perfect couple you are! You are such a perfect match!"

"Fifth Sister, don't be sad!" Mo Fan appeared next to Mo Yi at some point and whispered to her.

Mo Yi looked at him, puzzled: When did I become sad?

“Although Young Master Xu is handsome, people like him are just too much trouble! What’s the point of a man being so good-looking? Liang You is quite nice, easy to get along with. This Young Master Xu, although polite and smiling from beginning to end, but…” Mo Fan didn’t know how to describe it, scratching the back of his head. “He smiles way too much!”

……

Sitting in the car, Xu Ke rubbed his face, which was sore from laughing, and let out a long sigh of relief.

This is absolutely disgusting!

I never imagined I would experience this one day!

Although the ink pattern is passable, what kind of family is this?!

He frowned, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed, his eyes tightly shut, trying to clear his mind of everything.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't clear it away, and I felt increasingly humiliated and angry.

Why should I have to endure all of this?
The car drove for a while, but stopped before we even got home.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a curt tone.

Before his servant could speak, someone beside the carriage said, "Young Master Xu, a distinguished guest requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed even deeper. "I'm tired today. Let's talk another day!"

"My esteemed guest says there is something urgent!"

Xu Ke frowned, remaining silent and still. As the car drove along the road, passersby expressed their confusion.

After a while, another question came from outside the carriage: "Young Master?"

He sighed silently, "Let's go!"

After driving for a while, the vehicle stopped.

He got out of the car with his head down and went straight inside. He had been here many times and knew the way well, so he strode in.

After passing through the garden corridor, I arrived at the main house entrance, where everything was quiet.

Without looking to the side, I went straight into the house, where a fragrant and warm aroma wafted towards me. I took off my cloak and threw it on the ground.

There was no one outside, so he turned around and went in through the side door.

On the large bed in the inner room, the gauze curtains were half-drawn. Half of her jade-like legs were draped over the edge of the bed, and two white feet were exposed, their toes adorned with red nail polish.

"What do you want with me?" he asked coldly.

A delicate hand lifted the bed curtains, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.

It's Princess Yu'an...

"What's wrong? Are you angry again?" she asked coquettishly.

Xu Ke was even angrier when he saw her. He stood there, his face grim and silent.

"Come on! Sit here!" She patted the edge of the bed.

He doesn't move.

"Come here..." she said, her eyebrows arching gently, her voice sweet and alluring.

"I'm tired and annoyed today. Just say what's on your mind!" His tone was forceful, and it was impossible to tell that he was speaking to a princess.

Princess Yu'an was not annoyed and got up to sit up.

Although spring had officially begun, the chill of early spring lingered, yet she was only wearing a purple bodice and short underpants. Her fair, fleshy arms and legs were exposed.

"They're just concerned about you! What, are you really angry? Is it because that family is vulgar and lowly, and you don't like them?"

"Why do you ask when you already know the answer! Isn't all of this thanks to you?" Xu Kezhen was angry.

"Oh, I just... I just love you and don't want you to be involved with other women! With a woman like that, you can have complete control. She won't dare to make a scene, and she'll even have to help you cover it up. She's easy to manage!"

"Hmph! Go ahead and humiliate me!" Xu Ke's chest heaved with anger.

"No way! I'm too busy liking you to even think about it!"

"You like me? Do you think I don't know? You're just using me as a substitute for Dongfang Dexiang, aren't you?!" Xu Ke turned her head away.

Upon hearing the name, a sinister glint appeared in the princess's eyes. She lowered her gaze to conceal it and said coldly, "I don't want you to mention his name!"

Xu Ke turned his head and looked at her frivolously: "Fine, let's not talk about him. Then let's talk about... who was the princess's first, and how many there were in total? The princess kept it a secret so well, how would I know who to mention?"

"Enough!" Princess Yu'an was furious, unleashing her imposing aura.

She's not someone to be trifled with!
But Xu Ke wasn't afraid: "The princess is really something, she restricts me in every way. What about you? Can I control you? Now, she's forcing me to get engaged like this..." He took a breath.

He continued bitterly, "I'm not the eldest son, and the resources my family provides are limited... Don't you know what a wife of equal social standing and with a generous dowry means to me?"

He recalled the knowing look on his mother's face when she saw the Mo family's dowry list. How would he survive after the family divided their property?
He glanced at the princess again and said with a sneer, "Or is it that the princess plans to divorce her husband and marry me in the future?"

“What’s wrong with you today…” Princess Yu’an couldn’t do anything about him.

This person has been with her for two years.

He is handsome, has an outstanding temperament, and is extremely intelligent!
The key point is: he has a rebellious nature, sometimes like a wolf, and sometimes like a little puppy... he never knows how to coax her.

It took her a lot of effort to get her hands on it.

After so much time has passed, not only has she not grown tired of him, but she has become addicted to him and he has entered her heart.

I can't stand him getting married and having children.

So they tried every means to prevent him from getting engaged and married.

But no matter how much they argue, there will eventually come a day when they can't be stopped. Yet, just the thought of a woman standing openly beside him, sharing his bed, bearing his children, and living together...

She was so angry she wanted to kill someone!
So, this idea came up. Find a lowly girl who would only be a figurehead, never share a room with anyone, and who wouldn't dare utter a single word.

Use it as a front.

In private, Xu Ke belongs to her, and to her alone!
As for the future... if she gets tired of him and they separate, he can either kill this wife or divorce her and find another well-bred lady.

If I never get tired of him... no matter how I break up with Dongfang, I'll still kill that woman and marry him myself!
In any case, this woman is doomed. Going to a small, unassuming place won't cause any trouble.

She's a princess; she can do many things, but not all of them...

Everything was going smoothly until...

She got out of bed, her white feet stepping on the thick carpet, and went to Xu Ke, pressing herself directly against him.

Xu Keyu was still furious and dodged.

Princess Yu'an quickly pulled him back, saying, "Oh dear, didn't we agree to take it one step at a time?"

Xu Ke remained unmoved.

That's how she likes it!
The previous two or three... were timid and hesitant with themselves. No matter how good-looking or talented they were, they always seemed to lack something, never quite reaching their full potential.

Princess Yu'an was filled with excitement... She loved how handsome and refined he was, yet also so rough and fierce...

Then one day, she suddenly realized: this person, from who knows where, looks just like someone from the East.

That person was her greatest obsession.

Just as he thought of this, he felt a monster inside him, struggling and trying to find an exit. And it was he who would open that exit.

"How I wish I could marry you... but... Dongfang..."

When Xu Ke heard the princess mention the prince consort, he turned his head and looked at her seriously.

"He is a knot in my heart, the biggest knot in my life. There is no future between us. But I cannot let him go!" The princess's eyes held a deep, unspoken malice.

This expression was one that Xu Ke had never seen before. His heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat puzzled.

"But I don't know what to do. I want to kill him, but I can't. I've been waiting for the right opportunity... but I still have to wait! Ha, no matter what the future holds, whether he comes back to bow down to me or continues to humiliate me as before, sooner or later, I will kill him!"

"But...why?" Xu Ke didn't understand.

Princess Yu'an shook her head. "There are some things you're better off not knowing. Xu Lang, although I am a princess, I can't do everything. There are some restrictions I'm subject to, but everything I'm not restricted from is yours!"

She buried her face in the man's chest again and began to grope him, saying, "I want you..." she murmured.

She was not Xu Ke's first woman; his mother had given her as a concubine.

Although it wasn't often, I did have some casual sex with friends outside.

When those people are intimate with you, there is always a feeling of pleasing and devotion.

This is supposed to be a fun activity, but if it's always like that... it gets a bit boring.

Unlike her?

She enjoys the joy that she brings herself.

This made him feel immersed, proud, crazy, and accomplished!

Sometimes, I wish I could drag this noblest princess down from the heavens, tear her apart, and crush her. Make her beg for mercy, make her cry!

Although he knew he was facing an abyss, he went from initially refusing to becoming obsessed...

At that moment, he lost control again and suddenly burst into flames.

He shoved the princess violently onto the bed. She stumbled back a few steps and fell onto the bed like a piece of meat, letting out a soft cry.

Xu Ke rushed forward.

It was shut down, and only released after it was fixed...
