Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

"Well, that's logically true, but we're not that kind of relationship after all. If we get too deeply involved, it will be disadvantageous for both you and me in the future!"

"What's the disadvantage?"

Yan Xining smiled and rubbed his head: "Brother, aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? We are not a real couple, and we are too involved. If your princess cares about it in the future, how will you explain it? Even if we are partners, we should think more about each other!"

Chu Jinxun was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly patted on the head. He only felt a soft hand gently rubbing his head with a bit of pampering and care...

He shuddered suddenly. Where did this feeling of elders caring for the younger ones come from?

He quickly turned his head and held the mischievous hand, and his muffled voice came over: "I don't mind!"

"I do mind!" Yan Xining said with a smile, "I won't be able to explain it to my boyfriend later, right?"

Chu Jinxun's hands tightened unconsciously. He stared at her intently, his obsidian eyes reflecting some hurt. "You, you want to marry someone else?"

"Of course!" Yan Xining smiled nonchalantly, "But it's not necessarily the case. If you meet the right person, you should marry him/her. If you don't meet the right person, you don't have to get married! Isn't this just in case?"

Chu Jinxun suddenly felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his head. He was a little dazed and dizzy, but more than that, he felt a sudden and intense pain in his heart.

He suddenly stretched out his hand capriciously and pulled the person over.

Yan Xining was caught off guard and lost her balance when he pulled her, and she fell into his arms.

Chu Jinxun circled the man, his eyes as deep as the ocean, bottomless and dark, with an undercurrent surging in them: "No!"

Yan Xining struggled but failed to break free. At this moment, Chu Jinxun lowered his head and looked at her, with a hint of stubbornness and determination in his eyes: "You said you would save my life and cure my illness!"

Yan Xining felt a little uncomfortable with this posture. The boy's handsome face was right in front of her, and she felt very oppressive. What was going on? Was the little puppy going to turn into a little wolfdog?

However, what she was thinking was, like a child holding onto her candy and unwilling to let go, she soothingly said, "I know, I know. Of course, I'll have to cure you after I cure you!"

"Cure me, and you will be my benefactor. I will support you for the rest of your life!"

"Brother, don't be so confident now." Yan Xining laughed when she heard it. Although she was surrounded by him, she was not panicked. She looked at him with a smile: "Maybe when you get better, you will be more eager to terminate this cooperation with me!"

She has been outside for some time and has heard a lot of news.

It is said that five years ago, Chu Jinxun made an accidental appearance and someone saw his appearance, so he was selected as the seventh on the Jinghua List that year.

In the second selection, it even rose to fifth place.

Now, it's still stuck in fourth place.

The Jinghua Ranking was a list set up by the Xuanyang Grand Council in those days, which selected the top ten unmarried men and women in the capital.

This list has been established for more than 40 years and is selected every two years.

The selection is based on various factors, including the appearance, talent, conversation, demeanor, etc. of men; and the moral character, appearance, etc. of women.

For example, Yan Xueqi, known as one of the three most talented women in Beijing and not bad looking, was only ranked ninth on the women's list this year. However, once she made the list, her value would increase significantly.

But Chu Jinxun, just by relying on that stunning performance, was able to top the list for three consecutive sessions, and his ranking improved instead of declining.

Therefore, I don’t know how many people want to marry him, even though they know he will not live long and they may become widows.

Of course, the thoughts of a young girl in love may not be recognized by her family.

But people like Yan Xueqi, who have greater goals in mind, will make different choices.

So, when he recovered from his illness, countless women in the capital cried and begged to marry him.

"No!" Chu Jinxun pursed his lips with a serious expression.

He stared intently at the face so close to him. The eyebrows and eyes were so delicate, and they were curved in a smile. The eyes were so bright, as bright as stars in the dark night.

He was a little dazed, as if everything around him had disappeared, and the only thing left in the world was her. Driven by an inexplicable force, he lowered his head and slowly moved towards those plump, seductive red lips.

His heartbeat was beating violently in his chest like a drum, his breathing became rapid and disordered, his mind was blank, and only that impulsive thought kept circling.

Feeling softness on his lips, he kissed Yan Xining's palm.

At that moment, his mind went blank, and then a wave of panic and shyness washed over him. He jerked his head up, not daring to look Yan Xining in the eye. A blush spread from his ears to his neck. His lips moved, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to begin. He just stood there, at a loss.

Yan Xining chuckled and said jokingly, "Brother, you are still young and your hair hasn't grown out yet. You can play this kind of adult game when you grow up!" Although this look really suited her heart, she admired handsome men and loved to touch their abdominal muscles, but she had never thought about taking it a step further.

Chu Jinxun: “…”

His face flushed red, his eyes filled with shame and annoyance. He was already twenty years old and had already held the coming-of-age ceremony. And what did he mean by "his hair hasn't fully grown yet"? Why hadn't he fully grown?

What annoyed him even more was that Yan Xining was not just talking casually. She looked at him like an older sister looking at her younger brother, completely coaxing him like a child!

Looking at Chu Jinxun's flushed face, Yan Xining finally found an opportunity to slip out of his arms. She rubbed his head: "Okay, okay, no more jokes. I'm very sleepy. I'm going back to sleep first!"

Chu Jinxun didn't realize at all that Yan Xining, who seemed to be leaving in a leisurely manner, was actually running away in a panic.

My palms are still burning.

Who can stand a face like that?

Fortunately, she has good self-control, otherwise, if she really wanted to eat the person up, things would be complicated!

It took Chu Jinxun a while to cool down the burning sensation on his face. God knows what kind of courage he mustered just now.

He reached out and touched his lips.

Her palms are also very soft.

Also, she wasn't angry!

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips finally rose a little.

"Knock knock", there was a gentle knock on the window frame.

"what's up?"

A very low voice came: "Master, the princess changed into men's clothes, used the token you gave her, and left the palace through the west corner gate!"

Out? It's already dark, does she have anything else to do?

Was he a little impulsive today and scared her?

"Master, do you need to send someone to protect you secretly?"

"No need!"

She had said before that it was inconvenient to ask him to borrow people, and Chu Jinxun understood that there were some things she didn't want him to know.

Since she didn't want to, she would definitely be angry if he sent someone!

Yan Xining went directly to Meishanlou.

There is accommodation here.

In fact, Qingwuyuan is also an independent residence, but for some reason, she couldn't calm down, so she simply changed into men's clothes and ran here to hide away.

Lying on the bed in the room she had reserved for herself on the third floor, she still tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She thought about what happened today again and sighed in her heart.

Did she say those things before, to make Chu Jinxun worry that she would abandon him before curing him? Was the little milk dog so insecure that he would use his beauty trick on her?

Do you know how ridiculous his idea is? Isn't he afraid of a meat bun hitting a dog... Ugh, she's not a dog, isn't she afraid of losing both the wife and the army?

If it happens again next time, she won’t be polite!
