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

Twelve Winds replied from outside the window: "Some things are difficult to handle at the hunting grounds. As soon as the prince returned, he stepped up efforts to deal with the backlog of matters, so he has been quite busy these past few days."

Jiang Ruining sighed, resting her chin on her hand: "Being the wife of these important figures is really tough; you never see them all day long."

Upon hearing this, Twelve Winds felt a chill run down his spine!

If the future mistress misunderstands that she will often be left alone in her room, that would be terrible!

The prince would definitely skin him alive!

"Unless there's a sudden major event, His Highness isn't usually that busy! You see, he spent a whole month with you at the hot spring resort!"

Jiang Ruining tilted her head, her expression neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Twelve Winds: "..." I wish I had been mute since yesterday!

Jiang Ruining, bored with the scenery, yawned and said, "I'm going to take a nap." She then added, "Don't wake him or give him any signals."

Twelve Winds nodded vigorously.

If the county princess fails to deliver the "surprise" and upsets her, the prince might tear him apart!

"Understood!"

Jiang Ruining closed the window.

After hesitating for a moment between the bed and the rocking chair, I finally decided to sleep in his bed!

I had a dream last night, and I was so tired that I fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.

Xiao Che spent most of the day in the cabinet, then went to the Zhenfu Division. On his way back to his residence, he had someone buy some of Jiang Ruining's favorite snacks and send them to her.

Shi'an asked, "Aren't you going to deliver it to the county princess yourself?"

Xiao Che leaned slightly to the side, his finger pressed against his forehead, deep in thought about thorny political matters. When he heard someone mention Jiang Ruining, his brow twitched slightly: "I just saw her yesterday."

Shi'an expressed his incomprehension, asking strangely, "So you think she's too clingy? After we get married, will you only come back to the manor every few days, or will the county princess go back to her parents' home every other day?"

Xiao Che gave him a cold, sidelong glance.

If it weren't for the fact that they're "married," I would have twisted his head off!

Shi'an touched his chilly neck and chuckled knowingly, "Is the master afraid the county princess will find you clingy?"

Xiao Che's eyelids were very thin, revealing the veins beneath. He suddenly lifted them, and the extremely fine veins swept out like sharp, spinning blades: "It seems you have no attachment to this world anymore, is that right?"

Shi An subconsciously moved to the side: "The county princess said that it's fortunate that the prince has subordinates by his side. The subordinates are talkative, which makes it seem like there are many living people around you."

Xiao Che: "..."

That's what she would say!

That's undeniable.

Shi'an added, "Perhaps the county princess is waiting for you to accompany her? If you're not proactive enough, someone else will have to fill in!"

Xiao Che pondered for a moment and made his decision: he would go back, take a bath and change his clothes, and climb over the wall of the Jiang residence as soon as it got dark!

We absolutely will not give those bastards who haven't even grown their first hairs a chance!

The carriage stopped.

We've arrived at the Prince's residence.

Xiao Che got out of the car and entered the mansion.

If the guards at the gate do not come forward to report, it means there are no visitors.

He went straight to the study.

Twelve Winds bowed respectfully, without uttering a word about anyone being in the study.

Seeing his master push open the door and go in, he quietly sent someone to tell the small kitchen, "Boil water, boil plenty!"

Others might not know, but the trusted confidants who went to the hunting grounds with him could more or less tell that their prince was... really suffering from holding back!

I was confused by the instructions and wanted to ask, but was stopped and had to go quickly.

The "insiders" exchanged glances and grinned: "..." Hehehe!

Xiao Che entered the study.

I worked on the folding for a while.

As soon as the hot water arrived, Shi'an advised, "Master, the hot water has been delivered. Go to the county princess's place early; perhaps we can have dinner together and get used to living together day and night."

Xiao Che hummed in agreement and pretended to continue working, but the words in the folded book seemed to have grown legs and were running around everywhere. He couldn't get into them, so he simply put them down and headed straight for the washroom.

In the middle, you have to pass through the dormitory.

Shi An pushed open the door, but the person stood outside and did not come in.

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare go in if the future mistress were here!

As soon as Xiao Che entered the bedroom, he sensed that something was wrong.

There's a breathing sound!

His indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened, piercing through the semi-transparent screen to look over.

I saw the blanket on the bed unfolded, revealing a slight bulge underneath.

What kind of thief would be hiding in his bed?

He moved very quietly, going around the screen to the bedside.

Upon seeing the half of her small face peeking out from under the covers, the wariness and coldness in her phoenix eyes froze, instantly replaced by tenderness and joy.

No wonder the guards outside didn't notice anything; it was the bad guys they let in!

He took off his outer clothes, went to bed, and held her for a while.

Remembering that he had been to the dungeon and was covered in bad luck, he picked up his outer garment, threw it out, and then tiptoed into the washroom to take a bath.

When I came out again.

As the door opened, a young woman in a dark dress jumped out from behind it, wearing a ghost mask, and playfully yelled "Wow!" at him to scare him!

Xiao Che guessed that she would be woken up by the sound of water and then scare him here.

I wasn't scared.

But to give her a sense of "accomplishment," he pretended to be slightly surprised, then "angrily" picked her up and tossed her into the air.

Jiang Ruining was stunned. She was already so old, yet she was being tossed around in the air as "punishment"?

Even knowing he was strong, she was still afraid of falling to the ground and screaming in excitement!

Xiao Che could tell she was a little scared, so after a few moments of fussing, he caught her and let her hang on him, supporting her steadily with both hands.

Eyes facing each other.

She smiled sweetly, innocent yet charming.

His gaze was intense, and his breathing was deep.

The atmosphere was tender and intimate.

A natural embrace, a sudden leaning...

Jiang Ruining was enveloped by the thin mist emanating from him. After a brief period of discomfort, the pleasure from her memories came flooding back, engulfing her completely!

She was like a peony bud about to bloom, bursting open in the morning storm, powerless to resist, only able to instinctively call out to him, cling to him, letting the rain nourish her, and finally blossoming!

Delicate and charming.

"Xiao Che!"

Waiting for the wind and rain to subside.

Xiao Che carried her into the bathroom to bathe.

A bath for two takes a while, and by the time we came out, it was already night.

The bed has been made.

I changed to a softer one.

Because she had just said that the bed was too hard and her knees were uncomfortable.

Jiang Ruining lay comfortably in the blankets, not wanting to move.

Xiao Che turned to the side, resting his chin on his hand, admiring the lingering allure of her beauty: "Didn't you say you were going to moan for me? Why are you still biting me?"

Jiang Ruining scolded him, her eyes sparkling with alluring charm. She caught sight of the overlapping bite marks on his shoulder, the scene vividly replaying in her mind, and her beautiful face flushed crimson: "Shut up!"

Xiao Che encircled her, staring at her cold face as he whispered shameful words in her ear, all the ramblings he had uttered in the heat of the moment.

"Stop talking!" Jiang Ruining, though thick-skinned, blushed and her heart pounded as she listened. She struggled to get up and said, "I have to go back."

Xiao Che held her tightly under the covers, intimately close: "I'll disguise myself in July and have already returned from the Jiang residence through the main gate looking like you. It's winter now, and the nights are cold. Stay with me."

Jiang Ruining felt that she should be reserved, after all, times have changed!

Being held by him felt like lying in a hot spring; I was about to sweat.

"You're like a furnace, how could you be afraid of the cold!"

Xiao Che held her tightly: "Holding you is just right." His thin lips brushed against the corner of her eye, "Not enough, we'll do it again later."

Jiang Ruining glared at him.

This is the third time already!

Next, do you want to kill her?

Xiao Che's amber eyes slowly traced her features, a molten lava seeming to surge within them: "If you keep seducing me, you won't even have time to rest!"

Jiang Ruining retorted, "Nonsense! I didn't!"
