Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 78 His Highness is going to take a new concubine

Scarlett paused, stunned for two seconds, then looked up and met Chi Ye's angry face.

She gave a guilty laugh, then quickly blamed Chi Ye, "Who told you to suddenly appear and scare me like that? Luckily, I don't have a heart condition, or you would be in big trouble! It's only natural for me to call for help, so don't try to blame me."

Did I suddenly scare you?

Chi Ye was amused by her illogical reasoning and poked her forehead. "I called you five times after you came out of Sevier's room, and you didn't answer me even once. Is that my fault?"

"Yes, really?"

Scarlett denied it, raising her chin high, "Perhaps I was thinking about important things at the time and didn't have time to pay attention to you. In that case, let's just let it go, and I won't blame you."

She patted Chi Ye's arm, making a magnanimous gesture, and moved her feet to the side, preparing to open the door and go out.

The door was only opened a crack.

Chi Ye's hand floated down lightly, pressed against the door, and closed it.

Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, and her blood rushed to her head.

Her intuition told her that Chi Ye's visit to her was not for anything good.

She turned around, feigning composure, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Something happened."

Chi Ye bent down, squinted, and his dark eyes shone like shattered starlight, so bright it was dazzling. "Now it's time for you to coax me."

Chi Ye speaks human language.

But Scarlett didn't quite understand what "it's time to coax me" meant.
She hasn't offended Chi Ye during this time.

Could it be that he's still holding a grudge about what happened that morning?

indeed.

She did not apologize.

That's because he didn't give her a chance to apologize. He always had a stern face. When she tried to talk to him, he would arrogantly turn his head away, leaving the back of his head facing her.

It's so hard to even have a proper conversation.

Scarlett paused for a moment, then looked up at Chi Ye's handsome, godlike face.

Okay, I'll spoil you then.

She cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, I didn't step on you on purpose that morning. Please don't be angry."

Scarlett's apology was well-reasoned and persuasive.

Chi Ye was completely confused.

It took him a few seconds to realize what he meant, an unnatural flush spreading across his face. His eyes hardened as he glared at Scarlett, "Not this!"

Scarlett exclaimed, "Huh?" Her eyes widened considerably. "Is there anything else I've done to wrong you?"

The word "sorry" was used so well; it really suited his feelings.

Chi Ye said confidently, "Yes!"

He grabbed Scarlett's chin, looked into her eyes, and said, "I've thought about it all night, and I still hate that sable. You should get rid of him right away and not let him stay by your side."

Scarlett raised her eyebrows and gave a surprised "Hmm?"

Is Chi Ye jealous, just like Sevia?

Scarlett asked tentatively, "Why not?"

Chi Ye gritted his teeth. "I don't like it."

Scarlett blinked. "He's my slave, and that's enough for me."

Chi Ye said coldly, "So you like him? You want to take him as your beast husband? Scarlett, aren't you greedy? You already have eight beast husbands!"

Scarlett's brow twitched slightly. She glanced at Chi Ye's expression, slowed her speech, and said calmly, "But we're getting a divorce in just over two months. After the divorce, I won't have a single beastly husband anymore. How can that be considered greedy?"

Chi Ye's expression froze for a moment. His reaction wasn't as strong as Sevia's, but a hint of panic could still be seen in his suddenly dimmed eyes.

He grabbed Scarlett's arm, his voice urgent, "Scarlett."

I called her name once, but there was no response for a long time.

Scarlett began to ponder what Chi Ye really meant.

She understood Sevier's feelings because she gained affection points every time she interacted with Sevier.

Chiye.

The affection value is not high.

At most, I just have a good feeling about her.

Not getting a divorce? It's unlikely.

Just when Scarlett thought Chi Ye was still thinking and not going to speak, Chi Ye spoke up.

He gripped Scarlett's shoulders with both hands, looking at her with an extremely solemn gaze. A deep blackness surged in his eyes, just as the emotions that had been churning within him were desperately trying to be revealed and to express their loyalty.

“Scarlett, I will only get married once in my life, and I will be loyal, trusting, and devoted to my partner.”

“Although we’ve had a lot of friction before, this isn’t your problem; it’s a problem we both have.”

"If there's a problem, solve it, don't get a divorce, right?"

As Chi Ye finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer, whether from guilt or nervousness, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

At first, he looked at Scarlett with great sincerity, but when he said the last sentence, although he was still looking at Scarlett, he didn't dare to look at her directly, for fear of seeing any displeasure on her face.

He was unsure of Scarlett's feelings and feared that she would reject him.

During this period, he kept thinking about a question.

Do I like Scarlett?

The answer is yes.

he likes.

They had been married for over a year, and for over a year they had been a bitter couple. He had felt disheartened, sad, hateful, and disgusted. But when all these emotions faded away...

He still really likes Scarlett.

Although she is arrogant, domineering, and willful, she is a princess. She was like this before marriage, so why should she change after marriage?

The one who needs to change is myself.

The appearance of the sable made him feel a sense of crisis.

He cannot let Scarlett become a newcomer.

He wants to fight for his rightful place in the world!

[Beep beep——]

[Affection Points +5000]

Scarlett was stunned after hearing what Chi Ye said.

True.

She's not exactly a moral paragon; having entered a world of polyandry, she certainly doesn't envision a lifelong monogamous relationship.

A man can have three wives and four concubines.

Women can have many husbands just like women.

We are equal.

But she agreed to Sevier's request one day and then immediately agreed to Chi Ye's the next. Isn't that a bit too much? Shouldn't we wait a day or two?

and also.

Why don't any of you want a divorce?

It's affecting my divorce plans!
The list needs to be reorganized again.

bother.

Scarlett composed herself for a moment, then looked up at Chi Ye.

It has to be said that Chi Ye's face is truly the apple of her eye. Looking at such a handsome and angular face, she really can't bring herself to say a word of refusal.

"You mean you don't want a divorce?" Scarlett asked Chi Ye.

"Do not want to."

Finally hearing Scarlett speak, Chi Ye's heart, which had been in his throat, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded hurriedly, his expression even a little cute.

Scarlett glanced at him. "You were determined to divorce me back then, why have you changed your mind now?"

Scarlett remembered how Chi Ye had tried to stab her with a knife, so she wouldn't give in so easily. She'd tease him a bit first.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ye immediately became anxious, frowned, and shifted the blame to someone else, saying, "It was Zhe Ke who was determined to get a divorce, not me. At most, I only had a slight thought about it."

He took Scarlett's hand, squeezed it gently, lowered his posture, and spoke in a pleading tone, "Scarlett, you pulled out two of my tails, beat and scolded me, cut my allowance, and even smashed the flowers my grandmother gave me. Can't I be angry? If not, then I won't be angry anymore, okay?"

This isn't an apology; it's clearly a list of her crimes.

Scarlett couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes at him. "I'll think about it."

She opened the door and said, "There are still more than two months left in the cooling-off period for divorce. If you don't want a divorce, you'd better behave yourself."

……

……

Scarlett walked out of Chi Ye's room and saw Riley in the face.

Riley looked over with a serious expression, his brows furrowed. Upon seeing her, he quickened his pace, his dark green eyes flashing with tension.

Riley was always self-disciplined and rarely lost his composure.

This time, however, he did not bow first and then speak, as he had done before.

He glanced at Scarlett a few times, and after confirming that she was alright, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief before bowing and saying, "Your Highness."

Scarlett didn't understand where his nervousness came from. Just as she was about to ask, she caught a glimpse of Lilia standing around the corner.

Lilia must have been worried because Sevier looked so terrifying, so she went to get help.

She understood immediately and smiled, "No need to be so nervous, I'm fine."

Riley nodded, then looked at Scarlett again. His expression was relaxed, but there was a hint of tension in his eyes. "I heard that His Highness brought a male back."

it is good.

Now it's Scarlett's turn to be nervous.

She remembered Holst's words.

Faced with the shrewdness in Riley's eyes, his tongue began to tie itself in knots.

She never intended to hide it from Riley.

She also plans to discuss this with Riley first thing tomorrow morning.

Riley's sudden question caught her off guard, leaving her unsure how to respond.

Scarlett's silence.

Riley asked a second question.

"Is His Highness going to take a new concubine?"

Scarlett's rapidly working brain suddenly stopped, and an awkward yet polite question mark appeared above her head.

"Ok?"
