Chapter 78 Forget it
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
She must be hearing things! She must be going mad! Otherwise, it’s her who’s drunk!
Mingzhu was dumbfounded for a while before suddenly realizing. She tried to shake off the hand gripping her wrist, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t. The hand felt like hot iron, tightly clamped onto hers, burning and painful, frightening her to the core.
Mingzhu was trembling with fear, completely stunned, her mind racing frantically with one thought: How could Yuwen Chu be here? How could Yuwen Chu be here? Wasn’t he supposed to have left long ago? Since he was here, then where did Shen Ruilin go? He wasn’t the naive and straightforward Shen Ruilin. Even if she presented her reasons in a grandiose manner, he could see through her with just one glance… Wasn’t he coughing just now? Clearly, he was laughing at her foolishness. Unable to bear it, he pretended to cough.
He knew what kind of person she was, why she came here. From now on, she probably wouldn’t be able to lift her head in front of this person. There was no one more foolish and laughable than her. She had thought she was so great, brave, and smart. Mingzhu was filled with shame and anger, almost crying out loud, wishing she could just strangle herself and be done with it.
“What are you afraid of? If you blame this prince for bullying you and want this prince to give you an explanation, then this prince will grant you the position of the legitimate consort of Ying Wang. How about that?” Yuwen Chu’s voice remained clear and cold as ever, devoid of any emotion or even a hint of drunkenness.
As the clouds outside dispersed and moonlight flooded in, Mingzhu saw a face as cold as jade and a pair of deep, unfathomable black eyes. She was so scared that she shivered, her heart sinking into an abyss. From her palms to her feet, she felt icy cold.
The legitimate consort of Ying Wang? That was Jiang Shanshan’s position. They were the divine couple who respected each other and were equal in status. What was her relationship with Yuwen Chu? This was wrong. How could she be involved with Yuwen Chu?
She hated entanglements with married men the most, and detested that annoying Princess Funing. No, wait, the key issue was the person in front of her. This person was cunning, malicious, and very dangerous. She didn’t like him at all, not even willing to deceive or flatter him. Moreover, he didn’t like her either. How could he suddenly say such a thing?
Mingzhu twisted her wrist like twisting a dough stick, trying hard to break free from the hand gripping her wrist. She laughed as if she were crying, her speech surprisingly clear, “It’s a misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness. It’s really a misunderstanding. As you heard, I came to find Shen Ruilin, not you. I entered the wrong room. Let go of me, I need to find him…”
“You’ve provoked me. Do you think you can just leave like this?” Yuwen Chu tightened his grip on her hand.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable and unable to figure out what he intended to do, Mingzhu felt uncertain and instinctively wanted to keep her distance from him.
She lowered her voice, “I really didn’t know it was you. This is between me and Shen Ruilin. I’ll handle it with him. As for what happened just now, I’ve forgotten about it, and you should too… hehe…”
Before she finished speaking, Yuwen Chu grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, causing her to fall heavily onto him. Her nose hit his chest, and the pain made tears well up. Unable to control herself, she cursed, “You…”
The second half of her curse was swallowed by a pair of burning lips. Yuwen Chu grabbed her shoulder with one hand and held her head with the other, clumsily and shakily kissing her lips.
Mingzhu felt like the whole world had turned pitch black. What she witnessed today far exceeded her comprehension. She wanted to take advantage of him but ended up being taken advantage of. With nowhere to vent her tears, she trembled with fear, desperately pushing Yuwen Chu away while whimpering and cursing him as a “beast.”
Yuwen Chu paid no attention to her, but he also didn’t make any further moves. He awkwardly and cautiously kissed her lips, trembling slightly, as if holding a precious treasure. He didn’t even dare to move his fingertips, make a sound, or take any other actions, only breathing heavily and deeply.
Mingzhu regretted it so much that tears streamed down her face. She wished she could slap herself to death. She also hated Yuwen Chu, this hypocritical scoundrel who usually pretended to be righteous but was now taking advantage of her so shamelessly.
In her anger, she viciously bit his lips, determined to make him feel her wrath, even if it meant suffering herself. However, Yuwen Chu didn’t avoid it; he let her bite, and the taste of blood filled her mouth, thick and unyielding.
The completely unfamiliar sensation made her heart race with fear. Mingzhu couldn’t help but tremble, afraid that she might bite off his lip if she continued. Eventually, she dared not go on, wishing she could faint and forget everything. Unfortunately, she was as strong as an ox, so fainting was not that easy. She could only burst into tears and cry loudly.
“Miss? Miss? What’s wrong with you? I’m coming in.” Su Lan and Su Mei felt that something was wrong and tried to push the door, but Mingzhu had locked it from the inside to prevent anyone from interfering. It wasn’t easy to open it for a while.
Su Lan was anxious and called out, “Miss, don’t be afraid. I’ll go find someone.”
This was a threat to whoever was causing trouble inside. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Chu wasn’t afraid at all. He just let go of Mingzhu and said, “You asked me what I should do earlier, and I solemnly tell you, I will take responsibility.”
But Mingzhu refused vehemently. She wanted Shen Ruilin, not the shameless Yuwen Chu. Therefore, she didn’t want anyone to see this embarrassing scene. She immediately shouted, “Don’t come in! And don’t call anyone!” After saying that, she felt really aggrieved and started crying again.
Yuwen Chu lightly touched her face, causing Mingzhu to jump up in alarm. She raised her hand to hit him, “Don’t touch me!”
Yuwen Chu didn’t dodge or avoid it. With a crisp sound, he let her hit him on the face.
Mingzhu didn’t expect it to be so easy to hit him. She felt a bit guilty and scared but soon regained her composure. He deserved it! But even slapping him was letting him off too easily; she should kill him instead. No, killing him wouldn’t be enough; he deserved a thousand cuts.
Thinking of how he had treated her just now, she hated him even more. She grabbed his arm and kicked his legs wildly, viciously cursing, “Shameless beast! Shameless beast!”
Yuwen Chu unusually didn’t retort, remaining silent as she vented her anger. When Mingzhu got tired of hitting, she grabbed his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, wiped away her tears, and then turned around to leave.
It was her own fault for being foolish and embarrassing herself, and she couldn’t really make him take responsibility. She had bitten, slapped, and cursed him, so be it. However, she still couldn’t let it go. As she walked to the door, unable to resist, she turned back and kicked him again.
