But Li Xinrong was already too scared to move. She stood there like a soulless puppet, staring blankly ahead.
Up ahead, Young Marquis Xia exchanged a few blows with the "assassin" and managed to fend her off. Then he quickly backed away, planning to make a run for it. But he remembered Li Xinrong and wondered how far she had run.
When he looked back, he was shocked! That silly girl was still standing there, stunned. He got really anxious!
"What are you standing there for? Run quickly!"
Only then did Li Xinrong come to her senses. She lifted her skirt and started running.
The young marquis was taken aback. Was this the first time she had been so obedient?
Li Xinyue glanced at the beauty running away in a hurry and then at the heroic Young Marquis Xia here. Suddenly, she changed her mind. She decided to seriously injure the hero and watch the beauty shed tears.
The young marquis turned around, just about to defend himself, but was first struck by a palm and stumbled backward.
The dull pain almost made him unable to catch his breath. After finally gasping for a few breaths, he coughed up some blood.
"What's wrong with you!" Li Xinrong, who hadn't run far yet, felt a pang in her heart. She hesitated for a moment between leaving and staying, and finally resolutely ran back.
She thought that the Crown Prince would come looking for them when he found they were missing. They just needed to hold on a little longer.
But if she left now, she might never see this annoying and stinky man again.
Although this stinky man was usually smelly, shameless, and unmotivated, he was still very loyal in the end.
Since that was the case, she couldn't be too heartless, could she?
"Go! Go quickly!" Xia Chengjie was so angry that his chest hurt even more. He had only suffered minor injuries before, but now he was almost mad enough to get internal injuries.
"I'm not leaving! I can't just leave you here!" She stood in front of him, facing the "assassin" alone.
"Do whatever you want to me! But let me remind you, I'm the fourteenth princess of the Great Yan Dynasty. If you dare to touch me, my father, mother, and the Crown Prince will never let you go!"
At this moment, she was really brave. She was even touched to tears by herself.
The young marquis was also extremely shocked. It was as if something had collapsed in his heart. His eyes were also filled with tears, but he was too embarrassed to cry.
He looked at the petite and stubborn back in front of him. Driven by a strong desire to protect, he grabbed her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Silly girl! Why are you so silly!" His voice was slightly hoarse, with an almost imperceptible tremor.
Li Xinrong's pupils dilated. An inexplicable feeling of a racing heart made her catch her breath. Her cheeks turned crimson, and she nervously clenched her fists.
Li Xinyue crossed her arms and quietly watched them perform.
A gust of wind blew, blowing off the veil, which landed at their feet.
The two of them instinctively turned to look, and then were instantly petrified!
Li Xinyue even gave them a faint smile. Their faces turned even redder and started to burn. They wanted to explain something to save face, but Li Xinyue had already picked up her handkerchief and returned to the front yard.
So the two of them, "... "
The Crown Prince looked at the empty seats and wondered where Li Xinrong and the young marquis had gone. He was just about to send someone to look for them.
Li Xinyue swallowed the delicious food in her mouth, raised her eyes, and smiled meaningfully. "They probably don't want to be disturbed at the moment."
The Crown Prince and Chu Junyi turned to look at her in surprise, curious about what had happened between the two of them when they were gone.
But Li Xinyue didn't say anything. She just buried her head in eating.
The food today was especially delicious. She hooked the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. Thinking of the two people hugging tightly, she even unconsciously showed a happy smile.
Then she thought of her own husband and decided not to neglect him. So she smilingly picked up a piece of meat for him.
Chu Junyi reached out and touched her head, and personally poured her some fruit wine.
The Crown Prince: ...
The moonlight was dim, and the candle flames were flickering. The weather was extremely hot tonight.
The young marquis threw off the quilt and lay flat on the mat on the ground, with his hands behind his head and his eyes blank.
Li Xinrong turned over and lay on the bed with her back to the young marquis. Her thumb was on her lips, and her shy expression was hard to hide.
The candle was dripping wax with a sizzling sound. The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Both of them on the ground and in the bed were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep at this moment.
"Hey, isn't it cold sleeping on the ground?" After a long while, Li Xinrong turned around. She tried her best to hide her shy panic and asked in a soft voice.
"Cold! Freezing! Sleeping on the ground for a long time is bad for your health." The young marquis sat up quickly from the ground. His excited eyes stared intently at the petite back. He nervously grabbed the quilt.
Hearing this, Li Xinrong's face immediately turned red, and her heart was pounding. She wanted to say that she could share half of the bed with him, but she just couldn't say it. After mustering up the courage for a long time, she finally only said, "Then you can take this quilt to cover yourself."
"What will you cover with then?"
"I, I'm not cold. I'm wearing clothes. I won't freeze."
"No! It'll seem like I'm bullying you. I have a solution. Wait for me!" The young marquis quickly got up, rolled up the mat, put it all in the cabinet, and then directly got into Li Xinrong's quilt.
Li Xinrong felt the hot chest pressing against her back. Even through the thick clothes, it still made her face turn bright red and made it hard for her to breathe.
Instantly, all kinds of charming pictures popped up in her mind.
"Y-you, move over. The bed is so big. Y-you!"
"Okay." The young marquis reluctantly backed away, and then backed away some more.
Li Xinrong felt guilty. She wanted to explain something to him. But when she turned around, she saw that this idiot was about to fall off the bed.
She quickly reached out to pull him.
The young marquis gave a silly smile and rolled over, hugging her.
During the day, he had discovered that his wife was quite soft and smelled nice in his arms. When he hugged her carefully at night, it was really the case.
The feeling was really good.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
"I, I don't know either. I just did it on impulse. I, I..." He couldn't make up any more excuses.
Anyway, they had already cleared things up during the day. Since they weren't going to get divorced, she was his real wife.
It was okay for a husband to hug and kiss his wife, wasn't it?
He not only wanted to hug and kiss her, but also sleep with her!
Since he couldn't make up any more excuses, he simply stopped talking. He quickly and accurately pinned her down on the bed. He looked at her intently, as if seeing her for the first time. He carefully examined every inch of her eyebrows, nose, and lips, and then kissed her.
Li Xinrong instinctively tried to push him away, but the numb feeling from the entanglement of their lips and teeth made her weak all over. In the end, her delicate hands could only tightly grab his clothes.
"Wife, you smell so nice and are so soft! I actually like you quite a lot. It's just that you're usually too fierce. I'm too scared to be nice to you."
The young marquis licked his lips and looked at his blushing wife with a playful smile. Her blurred eyes seemed to have hooks, trying to hook his soul away.
Li Xinrong was already completely distracted and out of control at this moment. She had even made up her mind, but then this stupid guy suddenly started talking.
She was so angry that she turned around and hid under the quilt.
The young marquis had no idea why she was angry. He thought that the words "too fierce" had offended his fragrant wife again.
He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He could only crawl under the quilt and coax her gently. But the more he coaxed, the angrier she got. Finally, he also got angry. He simply locked her in his arms and bombarded her with kisses, until the little girl was out of breath, her heart was racing, and she pounded his chest with her small fists. "You're so annoying! Annoying!"
The young marquis was completely distracted. He pulled off her belt.
