"Ah...!"
She buried herself in the quilt and curled up into a ball. What should she do! What should she do! She was so anxious...
Mi Cui found it both infuriating and amusing. "My dear young lady, you should go and explain it clearly to the prince."
"Think about it. You were so angry when Rong Qing'er hadn't even entered the prince's mansion back then."
She lifted the quilt and said crossly, "Now the prince must be extremely furious."
Yes,
Song Jinyu sat up. "But will he listen to my explanation?"
At the banquet, his gaze was as if he wanted to kill someone.
"If you don't go, I know the prince's temper. Things will only get worse," Mi Cui advised Song Jinyu to go and explain to Zhongli Mingye. She truly liked this prospective princess in her heart.
There was no other way. She had to get out of bed and walk towards the door.
Unexpectedly, Mi Cui grabbed her and smilingly tidied her hair.
Standing outside the tent, Song Jinyu paced back and forth hesitantly. Mi Cui urged her to go in. After all, Qing Feng, who was guarding outside, was an acquaintance.
The tent for the envoys was of a high - grade. It was several times bigger than the one she lived in. Just as she was sighing, Mi Cui suddenly reached out and gave her a push. "Ah!" She staggered and fell inside.
"Mi Cui!"
She awkwardly grabbed the nearby pillar to keep from falling.
Zhongli Mingye was sitting on the couch, looking thoughtfully at the deer's head on the wall. He could hear clearly the sounds from outside. But... "Get out!" He didn't want to see anyone.
Stunned by this cold voice, Song Jinyu shrank back and hid in the darkness.
"Mingye..."
In her soft and sweet tone, she pleaded, "Will you listen to my explanation?" She slowly walked towards him.
The man's face was ashen. Song Jinyu felt a pang of pity and almost couldn't help reaching out to touch him.
Surprisingly, she was rarely so gentle. For a moment, Zhongli Mingye couldn't bear to drive her away.
Seeing that he didn't drive her away again, Song Jinyu walked forward timidly, lowering her head. "I didn't know you were the envoy from Daxia. If I had known earlier, I would have left earlier, and such a ridiculous thing wouldn't have happened."
Was this her explanation? Zhongli Mingye looked at Song Jinyu disappointedly. Didn't she even understand the reason for his anger?
He shook his head, unable to contain his disappointment.
"I went to the Land of Immortals to look for medicine for my master and then met Xiao Xueyi."
"At that time, Yan Fei and the others were injured, so I had to follow Xiao Xueyi to the tent of the King of Yanqiu."
Stealthily glancing at Zhongli Mingye and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. She had to continue, "And then you came."
"Mrs.... Xiao...! Hmm?"
Zhongli Mingye gritted his teeth and pronounced these three words one by one. His sinister eyes emitted a cold, murderous glint. "Song Jinyu..." He suddenly stepped closer, getting close to her ear. His blood - thirsty eyes stared intently at her blushing cheeks. "If you dare to betray me, I will take you to hell with me!!"
To hell? Looking at his blood - thirsty eyes,
Song Jinyu was so frightened that she took a step back. "You..." Suppressing her anger, she told him the whole story of how the King of Yanqiu was rude and how Xiao Xueyi had helped her out.
Damn it! The King of Yanqiu actually dared to have thoughts about her. Zhongli Mingye's face darkened.
For a long time, she didn't get a response from him.
Not knowing what to do, seeing that Zhongli Mingye still ignored her, Song Jinyu felt a bit embarrassed. She wanted to leave first and let him calm down on his own.
Unexpectedly, before she could walk out, she was pulled into the man's arms. The sudden scent of sandalwood belonged to the man she had been longing for.
Looking up and meeting his eyes, Song Jinyu hugged him aggrievedly and buried her head in his arms. She had been on edge these days and was so tired.
"Mingye..."
This call made Zhongli Mingye unable to be angry anymore. The longing engraved in his bones made him lose control like crazy. Under the candlelight, their shadows overlapped as they kissed deeply.
When he heard the words "Mr. Xiao and his wife" today, God knew how out of control he had been when he crushed the cup.
It was really damn it!
Now, seeing her as docile as a kitten, this person engraved in his life would always belong to him.
"Um..."
She missed him so much too...
After a long time, noticing that Song Jinyu was almost unconscious, Zhongli Mingye gently let her go.
The two snuggled together. Under the candlelight, she touched her lips, tilted her head back, and complained, "Are you a dog? Humph!"
He reached out and stroked her blushing face, hugging her tightly.
"My lord, Miss Song has gone to Prince Yu's place," Xiao Xueyi stopped tapping his wheelchair. "Okay..."
They were indeed an engaged couple. Although she was very nervous at the banquet, the affection in her beautiful eyes was clear to him.
Was he too late?
Song Jinyu excitedly told Zhongli Mingye everything that had happened in the Land of Immortals. After listening with a smile, he poured her a cup of tea. "You're so bold!"
"I've been extremely lucky... It's just a pity that Yan Fei and Niaoniao were injured because of me."
She gestured, looking very serious. "The unicorn! By the way... Do you know about the unicorn? There really is one... I've seen it."
This made Zhongli Mingye can't help but want to kiss her. "Yes... yes, I know now."
The more she talked, the happier she became. But when she mentioned Xiao Xueyi, Zhongli Mingye's mood obviously dropped.
Knowing that he still had some grudges, she said, "Don't be like this. If it weren't for him, I might not have been able to come out in one piece."
She waved her hand in front of him. He held her soft hand. With a sudden thought, he pulled her onto the couch.
"Hey... you!" She was dissatisfied with his sudden move. Did he get addicted to bullying her?
She made up her mind to teach him a good lesson.
Summoning her courage, Song Jinyu pushed Zhongli Mingye down hard and flipped over to subdue him.
Looking down at the high - and - mighty man, she thought, Well, finally I'm the one in control?
Zhongli Mingye looked helplessly at Song Jinyu, who was sitting on him triumphantly, and suddenly laughed.
Still laughing? Song Jinyu tickled him hard, making Zhongli Mingye burst into laughter.
The laughter passed through the curtain to the outside. Qing Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, while Mi Cui felt relieved. The two had finally made up.
After a long time, a guard suddenly reported outside the door:
"My lord, the King of the Southern Courtyard has sent some beautiful girls to serve you well."
The two who were playing on the couch stopped. They looked at each other. Song Jinyu instantly got angry. Her eyes glared fiercely at Zhongli Mingye. Her red lips pouted, and she got up to leave. Unfortunately, she wasn't as fast as Zhongli Mingye.
With a tug, Song Jinyu suddenly fell onto the bed.
Immediately, she was pressed down by him. He played with a strand of hair on her temple. His phoenix eyes stared intently at Song Jinyu. His voice was a bit hoarse. "I already have a beauty in my arms. I don't need any serving!"
What beauty in his arms? This man. Song Jinyu wanted to push him away, but he sealed her lips with a kiss.
"No, we... haven't gotten married yet."
In front of her, he always lost control so easily. Zhongli Mingye's gaze was attracted by the green jade bead chain on her neck.
"What's this?"
Seeing that he was about to reach out and take it, Song Jinyu was so shy that she immediately pressed his hand.
She quickly removed his hands, but how could Zhongli Mingye let her go so easily.
Song Jinyu was so ashamed that she pushed him hard.
"Where are you going?"
The man on the bed said hoarsely, with a suppressed smile. He propped his head on one hand and looked deeply at her.
"Go back to sleep!" She glared at him crossly and lifted her foot to leave.
The man didn't stop her but said, "I've had the tent next to this one tidied up. You'll sleep there tonight."
She glared at him hatefully. She didn't want to go, but unfortunately, she didn't have the ability to resist Prince Yu's arrangement.
