Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Ruan Chuyin felt like fireworks were exploding in her head. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her whole body was shaking with shame and anger. She cursed, "Shameless!" and turned and ran away.

The soft waist was grasped by the slender and powerful arms. After struggling for a while, she was unwillingly pressed down by the giant palm that covered the sky.

The setting sun shone through the clouds onto the water, casting a golden glow. Two figures entwined tirelessly in the afterglow, their sweat reflecting off the ripples on the surface of the pool.

Another sleepless night. Ruan Chuyin hadn't slept well for two days in a row, and only woke up slowly at noon on the third day.

There were three clay pots on the eight-immortals table, and a mini red stove underneath was warming it with fire.

Opening them one by one, what caught my eye was the sauce-flavored fish head soup, the clay pot Luosu and a portion of fragrant sea cucumber rice. My appetite was immediately whetted. I quickly scooped up a bowl and poured a spoonful of fish soup on it to ensure that every grain of rice was salty and tasty.

Then she washed up as quickly as possible, and when she returned to the table, the temperature of the bowl was just right.

"Awake?" Xiang Yunchi walked into the room, carrying fruit, still wearing his new hair crown. As if to better complement the gift, he had donned a new blue robe. The collar and hem were embroidered with beautiful ripples in gold thread, giving him an air of elegance and refinement. But Ruan Chuyin knew it was all an illusion. Recalling his awful behavior, her face flushed red as the sun. She quickly lowered her head, ignoring the thought, and focused on eating.

"What are your plans later?" Xiang Yunchi sat down opposite her. Seeing how happily she was eating, he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks.

"I have something to discuss at a friend's house, and will come back to Xuanzhou later to stay for a few days." Thanks to him, she came back two days later. She felt a little angry, but when she looked up and saw those starry eyes full of deep meaning, she instantly wilted and gave him a friendly smile.

Xiang Yunchi thought about it and there seemed to be no reason to stop her, but he felt very unhappy. He warned with a sneer: "If you marry again, I will take action. Don't blame me for not reminding you then." Originally, there were only him and Qin Guanzhi as the men around the little white rabbit. Now there are so many of them at once. The time he spends with her is getting less and less. How can he bear it?

The air was thick with murderous intent, frightening Ruan Chuyin until her face paled. She struggled with whether to confess her relationship with Ji Zhiya. Then, thinking that Xiang Yunchi couldn't possibly beat him, her heartbeat slowly regained its rhythm. Some things didn't require forcing oneself; it was safer to leave them to Guan Zhi.

"Which friend?" Xiang Yunchi was not as easy to talk to as Qin Guanzhi and Wei Jiusi. He asked as detailed questions as possible, and his eyes were full of scrutiny, confirming the truthfulness of her every word.

Under this oppressive gaze, Ruan Chuyin had no choice but to honestly confess everything she could.

"Qin Xiaozhi?" Xiang Yunchi rubbed his chin, his mind completely blank. This second son of the Zhenguo Mansion wasn't famous. If his wife hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that Qin Guanzhi had two younger brothers.

Speaking of finding girls, he also had seven brothers at home who were still unmarried. He immediately had something to worry about and asked, "Have your other two friends got married yet?"

"What for?" Ruan Chuyin's eyes flashed with doubt when she heard this.

"Nothing, just asking." Xiang Yunchi suddenly changed his mind. Those guys were more erratic than the other, so he decided not to bother the two girls.

"Oh, then I'll go." Ruan Chuyin put down the chopsticks, moved her hips, and jumped out without looking back.

The blue sky is filled with white clouds, and the gentle wind is chasing me.

Ruan Chuyin took a carriage back to her own Mingyue Garden. After washing up, she asked Ming Qi to take her to her friend's house.

The Crown Princess's personal arrival alarmed the entire house.

Wang Yumei's parents were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. It turned out that what their daughter said about her good relationship with the Crown Princess was true. They immediately took out all the best ingredients in the house and happily had the most prestigious lunch they had ever had.

Because the two elders were too enthusiastic, she was so scared that she took her friend to a small teahouse after dinner.

After the two of them left, Wang Yumei's parents couldn't wait to visit relatives and friends, hoping to let everyone know that the Crown Princess had come to their house today, and they also had greater expectations for their daughter's marriage.

The teahouse was filled with steam.

Wang Yumei opened her big eyes with curiosity, waiting for Ruan Chuyin to finish the good news she had just mentioned halfway.

After half a cup of tea, his pupils suddenly dilated and he asked in shock, "Are you saying that Qin Xiaozhi has taken a fancy to me?"

No, no! Ruan Chuyin held her forehead helplessly. It turned out that this girl only listened to half of it and relied on her imagination for the rest!

"My parents-in-law... had this idea, so I asked them. If you think it's okay, how about I arrange for you two to meet and talk?"

"Okay!" Wang Yumei agreed without a second thought. She knew Qin Xiaozhi! He was the same age as her, handsome and energetic. Especially those eyes that were as warm as a spring, which always had a smile on their face even when they were not smiling. He was a very kind person. Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo was very powerful in Dayong, and like her uncle, he was a supporter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If she married him, she would have Hatsune Miku's protection, and her life would be so beautiful. Even if Qin Xiaozhi was unknown, so what? His status was there! If two years passed, would she still be able to have such a good thing?

Ruan Chuyin didn't expect Yumei to agree so readily, and she swallowed back all the words of persuasion she had prepared.

"Then it's settled. I'll arrange for you two to meet at Aoshuang Pavilion in Mingyue Restaurant at noon tomorrow."

Wang Yumei then shared shocking news with her. Dali Temple Minister Yan was preparing to cancel their engagement with the Minister of Rites. The reason was likely because Cai Lei had told Yan Yan about Yue Huashan's unruly deeds, ruining their marriage.

There is a kind of person who will not allow others to covet even the trash they themselves don't want. Coincidentally, Cai Lei is one of them.

"So what is their relationship now?" Ruan Chuyin asked with a twitching mouth.

"Just an acquaintance." Wang Yumei thought for a long time before choosing this word.

Well. I think Master Xiao Yan's psychological trauma must be even greater now.

After drinking the hot tea in the bowl, the two left separately.

Two persimmon trees had been planted at the gate of the Linhuai Palace at some point. Their branches were covered with tender buds, and you could vaguely see the pale yellow stamens encased within them. A gentle breeze blew by, exuding a faint fragrance.

The steward Wu Yong thought he was seeing things, and tears welled up in his eyes. He smiled and said, "It's good that the princess is back, it's good that she's back." Ruan Chuyin felt a lump in her throat and felt bad.

"Uncle Wu, is Xuanzhou back?"

"The prince has gone to the palace to visit the queen and will be back soon." Wu Yong took the bag from her hand with a smile and immediately ordered the kitchen to add more dishes.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager, she has not visited her mother-in-law yet. She struggled for a long time in her heart and felt that it would be better not to meddle in other people's business and continue to minimize her presence.
