Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"Hatsune, this is a token of my love for you. Please keep it safe. As for the position of honor you desire, I will definitely give it to you and won't keep you waiting too long."

Jiang Xuanzhou gently kneaded her tender little hands, the emotions in his eyes gradually becoming stronger, as if he was a little more than satisfied with the warmth in his palms. His two slender arms subconsciously wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly against his chest and lowering his head to cover that soft spot.

Everything happened in a flash. Ruan Chuyin's head exploded. She pulled out her hand and tried to push the rude man away, but found that the "wall" was as hard as a wall of iron and steel, making it impossible for her to shake it at all. She had to turn her head away to avoid the warm breath.

Jiang Xuanzhou thought the beauty was just shy, so he pinched her chin with one hand and pushed her against the wall of the carriage, kissing her even more fiercely.

The strong smell of hormones spread unrestrainedly in the air. Four red lips pressed tightly together, and the fierce wind and rain enveloped the two of them tightly, the burning heat making Ruan Chuyin almost forget to think.

It was unknown how long it took before Jiang Xuanzhou reluctantly let go of those red lips, and when the four petals separated, he wanted to lean in again and peck them lightly.

"Snapped."

Ruan Chuyin slapped him hard with all her strength, took off the bracelet with tears in her eyes and threw it back to him, then jumped out of the car without looking back.

Jiang Xuanzhou looked down at the three-colored bracelet in his arms in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Did he misunderstand her? Or did he scare her?

Chuyi looked at Ruan Chuyin's back as she fled desperately, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He could hear everything the two of them were doing in the carriage. The prince actually forcefully kissed a girl? He was drinking, so he messed up! Now, he'd made her cry. How was this going to end?

"Your Highness, are you coming back?" he asked cautiously.

After a while, Jiang Xuanzhou slowly responded.

The small courtyard was brightly lit.

Qin Guanzhi and Yu Yu hurried out of the house when they heard the noise.

"Miss Ruan."

"Sister Ruan."

Ruan Chuyin stopped, nodded at them dejectedly, and hurried back to the house.

Her eyes were filled with water, filled with deep grievance. The corners of her lips were red and swollen, which was particularly noticeable.

Qin Guanzhi's upright body trembled violently, and his chest heaved violently, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.

"Sir, did Prince Linhuai bully Sister Ruan?" Yu Yu asked uncertainly. The traces on Ruan Chuyin's mouth resembled the look of the lady and the general after their love affair. The only difference was that one was tearful, while the other was smiling brightly.

"Did Jiang Xuanzhou force you?"

Qin Guanzhi was furious and could no longer control his emotions. He pushed open the door of the west wing. His eyes no longer had the warmth they usually had, but instead emitted a terrifying cold light.

Ruan Chuyin was startled by the sound of someone breaking in the door. She felt aggrieved that her first kiss had been taken away from her, and her throat choked. She could no longer hold back her tears, which fell rapidly. She threw herself into Qin Guanzhi's arms and burst into tears.

Her body was trembling and her shoulders were shaking slightly, which made Qin Guanzhi feel so distressed that his throat became dry, as if a raging fire was burning his body and soul.

"Hatsune, marry me. I'll take you back to Liangcheng and protect you from now on!"

Qin Guanzhi didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to let his sweetheart take the position of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as soon as possible.

Although he is not a prince, it is not Jiang Xuanzhou's turn to have the final say in Dayong.

With my father around, I believe the emperor will not allow Prince Linhuai to forcibly seize the daughter-in-law of an important official.

The person in his arms suddenly froze, as if she was frightened. Her two small hands tightly grasped his clothes, and she looked into his starry eyes with tears in her eyes.

Looking at her bewildered, broken and helpless appearance, Qin Guanzhi wished he could kill Jiang Xuanzhou right now.

Qin Guanzhi temporarily suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and gently placed his large hand on Ruan Chuyin's black hair, stroking it gently. With a firmness he had never seen before in his eyes, he said, "A night of longing brings so much love, even the corners of the earth are not far away. Chuyin, from the first time I saw you, I fell hopelessly in love with you. We have been together day and night for so long, I don't believe you haven't noticed my feelings for you. Marry me, and I will definitely protect you for a lifetime of worry."

Qin Guanzhi exhausted all his courage, crushed his deep affection, and poured it out without reservation. He held her cheek with his right hand, and gently wiped away the tears that gathered in the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips.

Ruan Chuyin was in a state of uncertainty, and the unexpected confession invisibly increased her psychological burden.

Qin Guanzhi and Jiang Xuanzhou were both her saviors, but she had not given up hope of traveling back in time. She did not want to repay them in this way and stay in this strange world.

"Mr. Qin, I have no plans to get married yet." Ruan Chuyin avoided his gaze and slowly loosened his collar, then stood up and stepped back.

The house was quiet, and the summer cicadas in the yard seemed to sense the deep sadness and stopped chirping tacitly.

Qin Guanzhi's face was as pale as snow. He stood there straight, slowly closing his eyes. His lips were bloodless, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, as if he was enduring great pain.

He was wearing a light blue robe, and his once handsome figure was now covered with scars. Invisible narrow cuts of varying depths were densely packed on his body.

After a long moment, he slowly opened his eyes, lowered his silent expression, and forced a faint smile. He said, "Hatsune, I was too impatient and put you in a difficult position. You don't have to answer me so quickly. Let's go back to Liangcheng tomorrow morning."

"Go back to Liangcheng?" Ruan Chuyin didn't expect that Qin Guanzhi would be more anxious to go back than Jiang Xuanzhou.

Mingyue Restaurant was just getting back on track. Although the prices weren't high on Wu'an Street, everything was moving in a positive direction. Deep down, she had no desire to give up on this place.

"Yes, I'll take you back to the Zhenguo Mansion. With my parents here, even the Prince of Linhuai can't do whatever he wants... and cause you trouble." Qin Guanzhi was truly anxious this time. He had to get his parents to accept Ruan Chuyin as soon as possible. Even if she was a peasant girl, he would do anything to marry her. In this life, Qin Guanzhi's wife could only be Ruan Chuyin.

Ruan Chuyin's mood now became even more confused.

Jiang Xuanzhou had taken her first kiss away unexpectedly. Before she could figure out her feelings for him, Qin Guanzhi suddenly confessed his love to her and wanted to take her back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. All of this caught her off guard, as if a bolt of lightning had split her in two.

She could go back to Liangcheng, but she didn't want to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Suddenly, Ruan Chuyin felt like she had become a bird in a cage, gradually losing her freedom. This kind of life was never what she wanted, no matter which world she was in.

"Hatsune, have a good rest. Once I've settled everything, we'll leave." Qin Guanzhi hugged the dazed beauty back into his arms, his handsome face pressed against her hair, greedily absorbing the faint rose scent.

Ruan Chuyin obediently let him hold her in his arms without answering, but her heart was already surging with emotions. She decided to leave tonight and go far away.
