Although Qi Rong didn't answer Yun Xi's question, his expression said it all.
Even though Yun Xi had already guessed that it was him who did it, she still couldn't help being shocked when she saw Qi Rong's silent admission!
"How did you do it?" Yun Xi couldn't help asking.
She had known about Qi Rong's methods for a long time, but he was with her at Mingquan Mountain Villa last night. How could the situation reverse like this overnight?
"Want to know?" Qi Rong hooked Yun Xi into his arms, lifted his lips at her, and showed a charming smile.
Yun Xi was momentarily stunned by his gaze. Qi Rong said in an ambiguous tone, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you. How about it?"
Realizing that she was almost captivated by his good looks, Yun Xi spat silently to herself and immediately rolled her eyes at Qi Rong. "I don't even care to know! Don't tell me!"
Yun Xi pushed away Qi Rong's handsome face that was gradually approaching, looking extremely arrogant.
She knew this man would take the opportunity to make conditions!
Speaking of which, her deepest impression of Qi Rong in her previous life, to be exact, was three years later.
She knew that he had made great contributions to the court and was widely known. Almost everyone in the country knew him! Even though some people feared his cruelty, he was still called the "God of National Defense" by the people of the Liu State.
The common people even believed that as long as Prince Xian Qi Rong was in the Liu State, the country would be peaceful, and the Li State would never be able to invade an inch of Liu's territory.
She always knew that this man was very powerful, but she never expected that he was already so terrifyingly powerful at this time!
Seeing that Yun Xi clearly liked him but was extremely shy and always put on a reserved look, Qi Rong found it funny and even more eager to tease her.
He deliberately leaned forward, twirling her slender white fingers in his palm, and whispered with a smirk, "What if I insist on telling you? Do I have to kiss you too?"
Hearing Qi Rong deliberately distort the facts, Yun Xi opened her eyes as wide as copper bells and stared at him. "Who said I wanted you to kiss me? That was clearly what you said! What's the difference..."
Before Yun Xi could finish her sentence, Qi Rong immediately blocked her chattering lips. Then, looking completely satisfied and smiling like a spring breeze, he said, "There's definitely a difference between the two. When I kiss you, it proves that I love you; when you kiss me, it means we are in love. So, I've already shown you my true feelings. Shouldn't you kiss me too?"
Yun Xi was almost out of breath from Qi Rong's sudden kiss. Her head was still dizzy. Just as she was about to give Qi Rong a just punch, she heard his fallacy and almost choked to death.
Blushing, she glared at Qi Rong and said, "Who's in love with you? A grown man always talking about love isn't ashamed at all!"
She really wanted those subordinates who always admired, feared, and followed him to see what kind of person their lofty master was in private!
I'm afraid they would be completely disillusioned!
Just as Yun Xi was thinking this, Qi Rong leaned over and gently pecked her rosy lips, saying in a matter - of - fact tone, "What's there to be ashamed of when I kiss my own woman? If all the men in the world were ashamed of this, they might as well not get married and have children."
Qi Rong's eyes darkened, and he stared intently at Yun Xi's blushing face. "It's you who doesn't seem to be aware yet. You always slack off during your morning exercises. Like this, when can I have our little A - Xi?"
He had longed to possess her completely for a long time, and he wanted to have a daughter as beautiful and lovely as her.
But because he was worried that her body couldn't bear it, he had always tried his best to restrain himself.
He was afraid that once he tasted her sweetness, he would be out of control and hurt her.
"Wh - what little A - Xi?" Yun Xi's face flushed like a ripe tomato, and she stammered.
Feeling Qi Rong's big palm on her waist, which was as hot as a branding iron, she panicked and couldn't help but want to escape.
"So you made me train every day just for this? You're so dirty!"
Facing Qi Rong's burning black eyes, Yun Xi was both ashamed and embarrassed. She turned around and didn't dare to look at his face for fear of revealing her shyness.
She also secretly cursed Qi Rong in her heart: This man always had the ability to make her flustered. He was so annoying!
Seeing that Yun Xi even used the word "dirty", Qi Rong couldn't help but laugh and cry.
She was always so shy. What if they had more intimate contact in the future? Would she point at his nose and scold him?
Qi Rong shook his head helplessly with a smile and straightened Yun Xi's body.
"Let me see your face."
"No."
Yun Xi hung her head to hide her shyness. Qi Rong smiled gently, reached out his finger to lift her chin, and was about to kiss her when a respectful voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"Excuse me, coachman. Is Prince Xian inside? I'm Yuan Qi of Ke Ke Qin. I'd like to have a word with His Highness. Could you please pass on the message?"
Hearing the voice outside the carriage, Yun Xi was startled and quickly pushed Qi Rong away.
"It's Yuan Qi, the eldest prince of Ke Ke Qin outside?!"
Why was he here? And how did he recognize the carriage of the Prince Xian's Mansion?
More importantly, shouldn't he avoid letting outsiders know his relationship with Qi Rong?
Why would he take the initiative to greet Qi Rong now?!
Yun Xi was full of questions and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
She was afraid that Yuan Qi's action would bring endless trouble to Qi Rong.
However, Qi Rong frowned unhappily because his good deed had been interrupted and he couldn't kiss the girl.
In a very cold tone, he said to Yuan Qi outside, "Does the eldest prince have something so important that he has to tell this king right now? Can't he even wait until this king returns to the mansion?"
Although he had only met Qi Rong twice, from the cold tone, Yuan Qi, the eldest prince, could really feel Qi Rong's strong displeasure.
At the age of thirty, Yuan Qi couldn't help feeling a little nervous under Qi Rong's imposing manner.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It was indeed reckless of me to stop the carriage. But some words can't wait. I hope Your Highness can spare a little time. I won't waste your time."
Actually, Yuan Qi was also very helpless now.
Because Yuan Zhen had assassinated the queen mother yesterday, and his body was hung on the city gate.
Consequently, his and Princess Yuan Zhu's every move were also under the surveillance of the imperial guards in the capital.
In this situation, he couldn't visit Qi Rong privately to avoid causing trouble to both of them.
However, he had something very important to ask Qi Rong for help with. So, he had to meet Qi Rong openly under the gaze of the imperial guards.
In this way, it would dispel the suspicion of the imperial guards instead.
Hearing the anxiety in Yuan Qi's words, Yun Xi couldn't help but stare at Qi Rong, wondering what he would choose.
