She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Xiao Che immediately realized what Li Jingrui meant when he recalled what she had told him.

She was expressing her views to him, not caring whether he knew her criteria for choosing a husband. Once he was about to accept another woman and have a sexual relationship with him, no matter how serious the reason, she would immediately withdraw without hesitation and find the next target to accept another man to have a relationship with!

If he questions or tries to persuade her to stay, she will tell him: I told you before, you have to be fair!

They have only ever possessed each other. As long as he doesn't marry or take a concubine, their relationship can continue, and they can enjoy it to their heart's content. But once he has another woman, she will not hesitate to abandon him and go find another man.

Her naivety, her passion and boldness, her captivating charm—all of these will be revealed to other men!

She was more clear-headed and calm than anyone else, and more decisive and ruthless than anyone else!

But Xiao Che's possessiveness was like a ferocious beast that had been awakened. He couldn't bear the thought of her hand being held by another man!

He held her tightly in his arms, wanting to meld her into his very bones, so that they would never be apart.

He could have told her that he would find a way to resolve the issue of taking a concubine, so that she could stay by his side and be his queen without worry. But she wouldn't see any results and would definitely not believe him. She would think he was lying to her, trying to force her when she couldn't live without him.

This only made her want to run away!

He made no promises, went along with her whims, and let him bear the pressure alone.

Even if she's heartless, he'll still find a way to warm her heart!

She was passionate and unrestrained only for him!

He turned his face to hers, letting her lips touch his cheek, and they completed a kiss.

"Yes, that's fair!"

Jiang Ruining was amused by his actions: "Your Highness... how shameless! Taking advantage of others like this."

Xiao Che readily accepted her assessment: "Shameless people live comfortably, as you said, and I've learned the essence of it."

Jiang Ruining was almost speechless: "You really are a good student!"

Xiao Che accepted her "praise": "So should I learn from you and make requests more often...?"

He didn't say what he wanted, but his warm palm made it clear.

Jiang Ruining looked at him with an innocent and coquettish gaze, as if she was surprised that he would treat her so lightly, like a naive young girl who had not yet realized that she had been bullied.

Xiao Che couldn't stand her gaze the most; he felt like he was about to turn into a beast and "torture" her properly!

He lowered his head and nuzzled her neck; this was her favorite way to be affectionate.

"I'll be there in a bit."

The stubble of his beard, just beginning to sprout, brushed against Jiang Ruining's fair neck, leaving tiny red marks that tickled and tingled: "You should be getting ready to leave after only two hours of sleep. Don't keep going back and forth like this."

Xiao Che paused slightly as he kissed her neck after being rejected: "Aren't you cold at night? Don't you want to sleep in my arms, touching my abs, all warm and cozy?"

Jiang Ruining's body went weak from his kisses: "Are you a vixen? You're so good at seducing people!"

Xiao Che raised his amber eyes, staring intently at her, letting her see the urgent desire in them. His voice was hoarse: "Do you want it?"

Jiang Ruining is a person of principle, and her refusal was righteous and firm: "No! Don't!" She cupped his face, ruffled it haphazardly, and said, "Don't you dare seduce me! Go, go to sleep!"

Xiao Che pursed his thin lips, furrowed his brows slightly, encircled her, stared at her, and silently acted spoiled.

Jiang Ruining had gotten used to sleeping in his arms, but whenever she thought about how quickly he pulled away that day, leaving her feeling uncomfortable for most of the night, she absolutely could not easily give in to him!

The game that gets him itching to play isn't going to end anytime soon!

Besides, the more unattainable something is, the more intensely he desires it, which is a great opportunity to deepen his "liking" for her!

They pushed the person out of the tent.

Then "smack!"

They quickly and decisively lowered the tent flap.

After being rejected, Xiao Che stared at the curtain for a long time, then lowered his eyes and smiled, very lightly and faintly.

To the guards on duty at the gate, it was like a devil's smile, chilling to the bone!

July remained expressionless.

Shi'an rubbed his chin and nodded repeatedly.

Jiu Jing was very upset because he lost a bet and now he had to wash Shi An's smelly socks for a month.

Eleven Crane continued studying his little notebook, then said in a flat tone to Nine Mirrors, "You can buy thirty-one pairs of new socks."

The gloom on Jiu Jing's face instantly vanished, and he patted Shi Yihe on the shoulder: "Young people like you really know how to think fast!"

Shiyihe looked at the plot he had recorded and shrugged.

There are similar scenes in plays!

Early the next morning.

As dawn broke, everyone struggled to stay awake and got up.

After packing up, I reluctantly left the place where I had been having fun for over twenty days.

Xiao Che ordered his men to prepare the carriage to be comfortable, waiting for her to ride with him.

But Jiang Ruining did not choose him!

Once back in Beijing, meeting up becomes less convenient.

She didn't even want to seize the opportunity to be alone with him!

The journey back to Beijing was very quiet.

No one is making any more scheming moves anymore.

The temperature just suddenly dropped.

Many people have caught a cold.

Fortunately, Xiao Che had also brought the thick clothes that he had prepared for Jiang Ruining, and Jin Yu took good care of her so that she wouldn't catch a cold.

Xiao Che visited her every day, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was alright.

But she refused to be alone with him, and his heart, like the gentle, continuous drizzle that falls from the sky, was filled with sorrow and dampness.

To onlookers, it looked cold and a little scary.

Li Jingrui rode past his carriage window on horseback.

The already chilly wind lifted the carriage curtain.

Li Jingrui glanced inside, then moved closer, hesitating to speak: "Your Highness has been a bit... these past few days."

Xiao Che lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

After a moment's hesitation, Li Jingrui said in a sincere tone, "It's worthless."

Xiao Che: "..."

"Cough cough cough..." Shi An was standing to the side and was startled by Li Jingrui's words. He choked on his water and coughed so loudly that his eyes turned red.

The others were struggling to hold back their laughter; their mouths and chins were trembling, and their faces were twitching.

Baxi: "..." Hahahaha!

Jiu Jing: "..." LOL, Prince Li's evaluation is concise yet insightful!

Thirteen Huo: "..." The prince waits eagerly for the county princess to come and visit him every day, but when she doesn't come, he gets disappointed and melancholy. Isn't that just a worthless attitude?

Xiao Che lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the people outside the window, and smiled: "You all live too smoothly, don't you?"

Li Jingrui pulled on the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and calmly escaped.

The others couldn't laugh anymore.

Because they are guards, they can't escape!

Xiao Che sneered, "No one is allowed to recite the Heart Sutra a hundred times to pray for the county princess's well-being. Copy it carefully; for every mistake, you'll be punished by reciting it a hundred times!"

Everyone: "..." Look! Look! What else could it be but utter love for the prince?

Until the day before they were to enter the city.

She boarded his spacious and luxurious carriage after being invited by the prince to "discuss matters with him."

As soon as Cat God entered, before she could even see the furnishings clearly, she was suddenly spun around and fell into the man's burning arms. The carriage had a small couch where she could lie down, and she was pushed down, a passionate kiss landing on her, overwhelmingly forceful.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, attempting to counterattack.

Xiao Che handed over the reins to her.

But her clumsy advances only fueled the fire, igniting his dissatisfaction!

However, after a few twists and turns, he regained control.

Jiang Ruining discovered that she was indeed more suited to enjoying his advances and cooperating with his plundering until she couldn't withstand his onslaught anymore. She pinched his ear and hummed softly, and he finally slowed down his pace of conquest and continued to entangle with her.

As their lips intertwined, his question carried a hint of resentment: "Why didn't you come? Had enough kissing? Enough touching? Don't you like it anymore?"

"No!" Jiang Ruining stared at him with her big, innocent eyes, looking incredibly sweet, and said seriously, "I'm afraid you'll seduce me and I won't be able to resist wanting to be intimate with you! But it's not convenient on the street!"

Xiao Che's hands, burning hot, supported her back as he forcefully pressed her against him: "Isn't it because you're so engrossed in watching the young man that you've forgotten all about home?"
