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

Jiang Ruining was quite frightened by his crazy outburst. She took a step back and bumped her back against the sun-baked wall, which burned her.

And then, for some inexplicable reason, I sensed a chill emanating from hell.

It was as if if she said "yes," his hand, which was loosely gripping her neck, would immediately crush her throat!

"No, how else am I supposed to say it? Yes, yes, I do like the Regent, I'm so infatuated that I slept with him, and now I'm hiding the seriously injured Regent in my room? And then waiting for the next batch of assassins to break in at night?"

"If I said I have nothing to do with you and don't know where you are, would anyone believe me? I'd have to come up with a plausible reason and act out my fear convincingly so people would believe that you couldn't possibly be with me, right?"

"Besides, it's a fact that you choked me and almost killed me!"

Xiao Che: "Should I praise you for being smart, hmm?"

Jiang Ruining muttered, "I'm naturally very smart!" Then she added, "I already said I could handle it, so why would you trust me so much that you risked personally chasing after me to keep an eye on my every move?"

Xiao Che's smile gradually faded, the small red mole at the corner of his eye gleaming coldly: "Why should I believe the words of someone who drugged me?"

The discomfort of something stuck in her throat made Jiang Ruining very angry!

"I already told you, I didn't drug you! Can't you understand human language?"

Xiao Che's grip tightened: "Little brat, just because you shout loudly and act innocent doesn't mean it's true. My men would never make a mistake over something so trivial!"

Did you find that out?

Jiang Ruining was stunned.

What do you mean?

Was it really the aphrodisiac that the original owner gave him?

She could indeed retrieve the scenes of the original owner drugging her in her memories, but because the original owner had all the memories of her life, including those not recorded in the book, there were too many scenes of drugging, and she couldn't match some of them to her own.

So how could she know which time the original owner of the body had drugged him!

And perhaps because this scene wasn't in the book, she had no memory of the original owner drugging Xiao Che!

Until this moment.

This memory was like a Labrador Retriever unleashed, rampaging through her mind, determined to smash her brain to pieces!

No wonder he risked coming out to spy on her even though he knew there were countless eyes watching outside the Jiang residence; it turns out he knew the results of this investigation.

As a true fan who has read the novel countless times, how could I not know that this is a ruthless character who repays kindness with kindness and avenges wrongs a thousandfold?

Those who scheme against him will never have a good ending!

I really want to run away.

But behind him was a wall with no way out, and in front of him were wolves with bloodshot eyes; there was nowhere to run.

Should I stab his wound?

Before she even touched him, the pebbles in the shadows had already snapped her wrist!

Embarrassing, desperate, tragic.

Jiang Ruining twisted her clothes tightly with her fingers, her whole body trembling.

"Now you're scared?" Xiao Che gently stroked her neck. "When you drugged me and rode on top of me, weren't you quite brave?"

The calluses on his palms, hardened from years of sword practice, made him tremble even more as he imagined slashing Jiang Ruining's neck with a dull knife.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Please be magnanimous. For the sake of me sheltering you and taking care of you for so many days, please forgive me this time, okay?"

Xiao Che smiled: "That little bit of busyness has already been used to offset the muscle-relaxing powder you gave me!"

Jiang Ruining was stunned: "..."

This devil must have taken modern Chinese language classes, right?

When she says "this time," she's definitely referring to everything that happened that day!

He's actually nitpicking the grammar?!

Xiao Che: "To scheme against me is a capital offense. You've schemed against me twice. If I don't kill you, how can I face the law?"

Jiang Ruining: "No, no, no! Don't kill me! There really wasn't anyone who ordered me to do it. I... I did it because I love the Prince so much!"

"Oh?" Xiao Che's tone rose slightly, carrying a chilling intimacy, as his hand gradually tightened its grip: "Jiang Ruining, don't try anything funny with me! I've seen those lousy tricks before."

Jiang Ruining still vividly remembered the crunching sound her throat made when it was squeezed and on the verge of breaking during the last time she was choked. So much so that this time, even before he had used much force, she was already overwhelmed by fear and despair again, and could hardly breathe: "No, I didn't, I didn't..."

Xiao Chengyan's beautifully shaped thin lips gently brushed against her earlobe, his voice warm and languid, yet his words seemed to have been pulled from the bottom of an icy pool, carrying a chilling edge: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this? Shao Yunting? Or the Cui family?"

"Or perhaps it's your dear father, far away in Southern Zhili? Or your good brother in Wanzhou? What is his purpose?"

Jiang Ruining grabbed his hand: "No, really no! Everyone knows I'm a complete idiot, how could anyone be so stupid as to make me carry out any mission? Besides, haven't you been investigating me all along?"

"You should know everything about me!"

Despite being a seriously injured patient, he possessed astonishing strength, making it impossible to move him even slightly.

His breath sprayed onto her neck, one cool and one warm.

The mouth moves faster than the brain reacts.

When she finally decided to go all in and take the gamble, her soft lips pressed hard against the man's thin lips.

Taking advantage of his surprise, as he instinctively opened his mouth to scold her, she quickly became deeply entangled with him.

She stretched out her arms, encircled his neck, and kissed him deeper and deeper.

The hand gripping her neck tightened suddenly.

I almost sent her away directly.

But she didn't let go of his mouth or his hand, betting that it was just his instinctive reaction out of "shyness"!

The kiss became more forceful.

Because they had no experience, they were completely disorganized, but very enthusiastic.

Then she noticed the hand gripping her neck loosen its hold little by little.

She immediately pulled his hand down little by little, then changed from a deep kiss to a light peck, and slowly pulled away from him.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, blinked hard, and forced tears to come out.

Then she looked up, her large, watery eyes gazing intently at him, the sunlight shimmering and shattering the light in the two lakes, and pleaded pitifully, "Does Your Highness believe me now? I truly fell in love with Your Highness at first sight!"

"Your face, your figure, even the voice you speak, everything about you is exactly what makes my heart flutter. It wasn't until I met the Prince that I realized that Shao Yunting's beauty was nothing more than that of a girl from a modest family."

the end.

She tried her best to look shy, lowering her head and pointing at her tender index finger.

"If it weren't for my lack of social standing, I would have even tried to use my family background to force a marriage!"

Xiao Che's lips, still glistening with moisture from her kisses, were now a deep red. "If I remember correctly, you called me 'Duke' back then, not 'Master'!"

Jiang Ruining's eyes, brimming with tears, almost froze: "..."

Good guy!

Don't novels always say that people under the influence of aphrodisiacs are delirious and all their senses are focused on sex? Why does this person remember even such a small detail so clearly?

What does it count for?

Is this some bizarre halo that the author deliberately gave to ensure the main villain survives to the end?

"I can explain!"
