The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

"Run away from the wedding!"

Ao Congxun gasped in surprise, but Xia Ying quickly covered his mouth with her hand and whispered, "Shh—"

Escaped marriage? Ao Congxun felt both helpless and amused. However, it was also his fault for not revealing his true identity.

Now that he's told, Yingying won't ignore him anymore, right?

Realizing this possibility, Ao Congxun immediately decided to tell everything.

"Yingying, listen to me..."

Ao Congxun grasped Xia Ying's hand and said earnestly, "Actually, I am the Great Chanyu. My name in the Central Plains is Ao Congxun, and my original name is Ao Yun, which means eagle of the grasslands."

As he finished speaking, he stared into Xia Ying's eyes, his pupils dark and swirling, as if trying to suck her in.

Xia Ying processed the information she heard, and after a while, she actually laughed out loud.

"So that's how it is. Great Chanyu, Ao Congxun, hahaha, you're quite cunning. Does Xie Chi'an know?"

"Why did Yingying bring him up again? What does it matter if he knows? He asked me to come see you. We fell in love at first sight, were deeply in love at second sight, and were committed to each other at third sight. We are truly a match made in heaven."

Xia Ying laughed so hard she almost fell over, nodding repeatedly in his arms: "That's what you call fate, Ah Xun, we're destined to be together, no matter what."

At this moment, in the cramped space of the carriage, Ao Congxun's strong body occupied most of the space as he held the petite Xia Ying in his arms.

He had prepared himself for complaints, but then he heard a voice as beautiful as heavenly music. Now, he tightened his embrace, just to keep this dazzling pearl with him.

"Yingying, I knew you were the best."

A deep, sensual voice echoed in the small space, its lingering notes captivating and enchanting, leaving one feeling intoxicated.

Xia Ying leaned against the strong chest, feeling the pounding heartbeat inside, which made her feel even more at ease.

"Ah Xun, I'm not afraid to go to the grasslands, as long as it's you."

Ao Congxun's breath hitched. He lowered his head and gently bit Xia Ying's earlobe, his tone extremely dangerous: "Yingying, don't seduce me. We're still in the carriage, I don't want to..."

"Chanyu, General Xie is catching up."

Ao Congxun was interrupted, still because of Xie Chi'an, and was very unhappy. He looked out the car window with a cold and terrifying gaze.

"Jiaojiao, I've come to see you off. If you're not doing well on the grasslands, just write to me, and I'll make sure you're safe."

The delegation from the grasslands protested, saying, "Our Chanyu's wife is none of your business!"

Xie Chi'an ignored her and continued speaking, "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid that Xia Ying will stop us. I am me, and she is her. As long as you speak up, I will do anything, even die for you!"

However, there was no response from inside the carriage. Xie Chi'an, unwilling to give up, tried to get closer, but was stopped by the grassland warriors.

Inside the carriage, Xia Ying was even deprived of the chance to respond by disguising her voice.

She was embraced and kissed forcefully, the man's skillful tongue swirling around her, leaving her no time to notice anything else.

During a breath, Ao Congxun whispered in a nasty voice, "If Yingying dares to say a single word to him, then this carriage will be our bridal chamber."

As he spoke, he used his two large hands to light fires all around him.

Xie Chi'an talked on and on for a long time before reluctantly leaving. Meanwhile, the bride in the carriage had already slumped into a puddle of water.

Only after everyone had gone far away and the group was moving forward at full speed did she dare to relax.

But she was targeted by an eagle, which dragged her down with it.

The caravan rested at the next town. A robust man stepped down from the carriage.

He was eight feet tall, with a menacing aura, and was carrying a fully armed person in his arms, who was wrapped up so tightly that nothing could be seen.

"Manager, five superior rooms!"

Ao Congxun carried the person into the room, tore off their robes, and happened to meet a pair of cat-like eyes.

At this moment, she glared at him angrily, as if her hair had been bristled.

"Ao Congxun, you're so embarrassing! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Xia Ying was now alluring, her eyes captivating. The culprit was none other than Ao Congxun. He chuckled softly, showing no remorse. His voice softened as he began to coax her.

"Yingying, the carriage is very soundproof, don't worry, we definitely won't be heard. I promise, we'll behave perfectly once we set off tomorrow."

"I don't believe your nonsense. Go boil some water, I want to take a bath."

Xia Ying kicked Ao Congxun in the chest, but he caught her foot in his hands, showing great tenderness.

"Then let me serve the princess as she bathes and changes her clothes."

By the time Xia Ying wanted to back down, it was too late.

Xie Chi'an returned after a long journey, unmoved by the strange looks from others, and paid no attention to anyone.

He took the bride out of the bridal sedan chair and whispered in her ear, "Xia Ying, you're quite sensible and didn't act recklessly. Jiao Jiao was forced to marry into the grasslands because of you, so it's only right that I go to see her and repay this debt for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Chi'an noticed the person next to him trembling, whether from crying or laughing, it was none of his business.

Just as Xie Chi'an was about to step into the Xie residence, he frowned when he saw the maidservant who had accompanied him as part of his dowry and asked directly, "Why haven't I seen you before? Where's Chunhe?"

The young palace maid bowed her head and said respectfully, "Sister Chunhe has reached the age to leave the palace. This servant is new here and greets Your Highness."

Xie Chi'an was filled with doubts. Why would Xia Ying send away her trusted palace maid on such an important occasion as marriage?

"Groom, let's not miss the auspicious time." The matchmaker's words interrupted his thoughts, urging the newlyweds to go through the rituals and bow to heaven and earth.

With the announcement that the ceremony was complete, joyous music rang out again. Xie Chi'an led the bride into the bridal chamber, then turned and left to entertain the guests.

After the banquet ended, Xie Chi'an, still in a bad mood, didn't drink much. He rubbed his throbbing temples, sat at the table, and hesitated to lift his veil.

When he saw that the food and wine prepared on the table had been disturbed, he frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied.

"Xia Ying, are you really that hungry? Where is your elegance and manners as a princess?"

Xie Chi'an's voice was filled with disgust, but Xia Ying's silence only made him more annoyed.

He strode to the wedding bed and ripped off the red veil.

"Xia Ying, why aren't you saying anything... Jiao Jiao, it's you!"

Xia Jiaojiao laughed and threw herself into his arms, saying coquettishly, "Brother Chi'an, so you like me! That's wonderful! We're finally together!"

She was filled with joy, while Xie Chi'an, whom she was embracing, was completely blank-minded and stiff. After a while, he finally pushed her away, grabbed her shoulders, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Jiaojiao, what are you doing here? Where's Xia Ying? Where's Xia Ying?!"

Xia Jiaojiao was initially overjoyed because her scheme had succeeded, but her smile vanished when she heard those words.

"Brother Chi'an, aren't you happy that you married me? Why are you bringing up my elder sister? She wanted to marry into the grasslands for a political marriage; she doesn't like you at all."

"Impossible!" Xie Chi'an shouted, his face flushed red, his reason shaken by the truth revealed by Xia Jiaojiao.

"That's impossible. Xia Ying loves me. How could she possibly go on a political marriage? Isn't the person she's going to marry into a foreign power? Isn't it you?"

When Xia Jiaojiao saw Xie Chi'an's repulsive appearance, she couldn't help but feel scared, and naturally she dared not tell the truth.

So she spoke tremblingly, "It's my elder sister, my elder sister... she doesn't want to marry you, she said she wants to go to the grasslands, she said she wants to make our marriage possible."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chi'an suddenly realized, his expression becoming excited: "Yes, she was reborn too. That's why she took your place in the marriage alliance, not wanting you to die on the grasslands. Yes, that must be it."

Then he thought of the carriage far outside the city and immediately rushed out the door to chase after it.

Now, he had only one thought—to win Xia Ying back. Didn't she love him? She loved him her whole life, so why should she just let go so easily in this one?!
