Lu Xingzhi's brows still revealed a gentle atmosphere, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Xiao Chenyuan's eyes were cold, and he placed the teacup on the table. "Literally."

Lu Xingzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Your Majesty, could you please allow me to meet the princess?"

His words changed so quickly that the atmosphere around them dropped to the lowest point.

Han Ye, who was guarding the door, looked shocked.

Mr. Lu is so brave!

He actually still wanted to meet the princess.

The prince treats his princess like a treasure, so how could he let Mr. Lu see her so easily?

I'm afraid Mr. Lu's wishful thinking has failed.

Xiao Chenyuan's eyes turned cold, and the murderous aura around him could not be suppressed and burst out.

Lu Xingzhi was enveloped by his invisible deterrent force, and his brows were obviously furrowed.

Xiao Chenyuan's cold voice echoed in the side room, "What? Master Lu wants to abduct my princess again?"

There was no trace of emotion on Lu Xingzhi's face, and he said gently:

"Your Highness, you are truly flattering me. How could I possibly have the ability to kidnap your wife?"

"It's just that I haven't seen the princess for many days. I want to meet her and thank her in person for saving my life."

"I wonder if Your Majesty could do me a favor?"

After he finished speaking, a smile as bright as the rising sun appeared on Lu Xingzhi's face.

Xiao Chenyuan raised his lips, "The princess and I are one and the same. Your thanks to me are also equivalent to your thanks to her."

His light words once again brought the situation to a stalemate.

The warmth in Lu Xingzhi's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by anger, "Xiao Chenyuan, she doesn't love you, why do you have to keep her by your side?"

"She told you in person that she doesn't love me anymore?" Xiao Chenyuan said in a calm voice.

"That's right." Lu Xingzhi said without hesitation.

Xiao Chenyuan sneered: "That was only in the past."

Lu Xingzhi frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion.

Xiao Chenyuan met his gaze and said in a stern voice, "My princess' heart and eyes are now filled with me."

Lu Xingzhi chuckled as if he had heard a huge joke, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Zhizhi's previous resistance to you?"

"What qualifications do you have to address her like that?" Xiao Chenyuan's face turned cold. "Has Master Lu forgotten the lesson of the past?"

Lu Xingzhi's eyes darkened as he thought about the humiliation he had suffered in the nameless stronghold not long ago.

The atmosphere was tense.

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps at the door.

Shen Pianzhi appeared in their sight wearing a simple green and elegant long dress.

Her black hair was tied up, with a hollow butterfly hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair, which made her face look delicate and charming.

Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but stand up, but when his eyes touched the ambiguous red mark on her neck, his breathing stagnated.

Are they doing something in the boudoir?

It must be Xiao Chenyuan who forced Zhizhi!

Shen Pianzhi's eyes followed Xiao Chenyuan closely, and her tone was full of anger, "Husband, why didn't you wake me up?"

She passed by Lu Xingzhi and came to Xiao Chenyuan's side.

Xiao Chenyuan hugged her slender waist and held her in his arms, "I slept too late last night, I want you to sleep a little longer."

Shen Pianzhi's eyes curved up, "My husband is so kind."

When Lu Xingzhi saw their deep love, he was petrified.

He rubbed his eyes and found that the scene before him was not an illusion.

When Shen Pianzhi woke up and couldn't see Xiao Chenyuan, her first reaction was that Xiao Chenyuan must have gone to find Lu Xingzhi.

This is a Shura field!

When she came in just now, her heart trembled.

She could see that Xiao Chenyuan was very angry, so she came to appease him first.

It was obvious that Xiao Chenyuan's anger had dissipated a lot with her arrival.

The room was silent for a moment, then Shen Pianzhi glanced at Lu Xingzhi, her tone indifferent and polite:

"Mr. Lu, do you feel unwell after waking up? If so, please ask Doctor Wen to take a look at you."

Lu Xingzhi's brows were filled with loss. When had Zhizhi ever been so distant from him?

It must be because Xiao Chenyuan is here.

His brows furrowed, but he replied gently, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."

Shen Pianzhi could feel the coldness and cruelty surrounding Xiao Chenyuan beginning to wreak havoc, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, please call me Madam Xiao from now on."

Lu Xingzhi's face turned pale for a moment before he spoke in a steady tone, "But he forced you to act affectionate?"

Shen Pianzhi shook her head decisively, "Of course not."

Xiao Chenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be in a good mood.

His long, beautiful finger bones rested casually on the table and tapped lightly.

If you listen carefully, you will find it has a very rhythmic sound.

Shen Pianzhi looked at Lu Xingzhi with a resolute gaze, and said word by word:

"Mr. Lu, thank you for taking me away before, but the world is full of fireworks and the mountains and rivers are vast. I can only see Xiao Chenyuan."

Her words were like a raging fire, burning Lu Xingzhi's heart and making it difficult for him to breathe.

After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "Zhizhi, you are lying to me."
