The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

So when Li Jinyuan said that Chu Changxun was good at socializing, it was really like stabbing him in the heart.

But Jiang Li didn't know these things, so she was still a little surprised when she learned of Chu Changxun's identity.

"So you are the prince!"

She thought he was a nobleman from some wealthy family.

"Well, I'm sorry for not informing the princess of my identity right away."

"It's okay! What's the big deal..."

Seeing the two of them continuing to chat and laugh, the ignored Li Jinyuan clenched his fists, and a few sharp cold rays flashed in his eyes.

It was rare for Chu Changxun to see the calm and indifferent Third Prince showing such obvious hostility. His evil peach blossom eyes were half-closed, hiding the smile in his eyes.

"I was unable to attend the prince and princess' wedding last time due to illness. Now that we've met today, I must make up for it by sending them a gift."

As he said this, he asked the servant behind him to present a velvet gift box.

Seeing this, Jiang Li quickly waved her hands. How could she accept it? She and Li Jinyuan were not really married...

"No need! Just the thought is enough."

But Chu Changxun insisted and stuffed the gift box directly into Jiang Li's hands.

The girl turned to look at Li Jinyuan helplessly, only to find that the man looked calm and nodded for her to accept the gift.

Since that was the case, she didn't refuse. After thanking Chu Changxun, she opened the box with curiosity.

"Wow...what a beautiful stone."

Listening to the girl's description, Chu Changxun smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, while the servant behind him looked at Jiang Li with a look of disdain.

Li Jinyuan couldn't help but tap Jiang Li's forehead with his fingers, his eyes full of doting.

Although she didn't know what it was, she knew it very well.

"This is a Jade Soul Pearl. There are no more than three of them in the entire North Star. Because it was formed in an extremely cold place and absorbed the purest spiritual energy, it looks so radiant and colorful. It is said that carrying it with you can maintain your youthful appearance."

"So amazing!"

If it can keep your face young, then it is no less powerful than those medical cosmetic surgeries in modern times!

Jiang Li carefully picked up the beads, and felt a chill as soon as her skin touched them. This chill was a stark contrast at the end of the hot summer.

"Such a rare treasure is truly too valuable. Are you sure you want to give it to us?"

Jiang Li still couldn't accept it with peace of mind. After all, they had only met twice, and such an expensive gift was not necessary for a wedding gift.

"of course."

Chu Changxuan looked straight into Jiang Li's eyes, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with light, and the slightly raised corners of his lips were shallow and soft.

Seeing him like this, Li Jinyuan secretly clenched his back teeth, and skillfully pinched the girl's chin with his big hand to make her turn.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Prince Chu. Both the prince and the princess like this gift very much."

Because Jiang Li's chin was pinched, her red lips pouted uncontrollably, and the soft flesh on her cheeks was squeezed up, making her look like a cute goldfish.

Her round almond-shaped eyes struggled to look to the side at the man. Why did she feel that this man was clearly thanking her, but his tone was quite gnashing of teeth?

But none of this matters. What matters is that pinching her face like this makes her feel embarrassed.

"Fuck you!"

(Let me go!)

The fair little hand grasped Li Jinyuan's muscular forearm. The girl's meager strength was no different from a tickle to him.

Seeing that the kitten was about to explode, the man's depressed mood was immediately swept away. Not only did he loosen his hand, he also lowered his head very quickly and stole a kiss on the kitten's cheek that was pinched red by him.

Jiang Li paused, then her face turned visibly red, and she looked at the man with wide eyes, full of accusations.

This guy is really getting more and more unruly! Prince Chu is still watching! ! !

"Be good, I'm going to present the birthday gift soon."

Li Jinyuan contentedly put his arm around the girl's waist. Their bodies were pressed very close together. From Chu Changxun's perspective, it looked like the petite girl was being held in a man's possessive embrace, preventing anyone from peeking in at all...

The latter chuckled and shook his head at the Third Prince's defensive behavior. He had never seen Li Jinyuan with this face before...

Shen Ping, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the Jade Soul Pearl held in the girl's hand and felt a surge of jealousy in her eyes.

Such a precious gift was actually given by this prince to that little bitch Jiang Li!

The woman's eyes darkened in anger, but then she thought, Prince Chu was so generous to the little bitch, and today was her birthday party, so the gift he gave her might be even more rare...

Thinking of this, Shen Ping raised her red lips again, her eyes full of greed...

……

Jiang Leyao was indeed a person who loved to show off. The girl straightened her clothes and then walked to the center of the hall in an awkward manner.

It took her more than a minute to walk the short ten-meter distance.

Jiang Li caught her constantly stealing glances at Li Jinyuan. Her flirtatious look made her look like an animal in heat.

Such a low-level seduction method actually highlights Ji Qingwan's cleverness.

Turning to look at the person who was completely unaware of the situation, a hint of amusement flashed across his round almond-shaped eyes.

The man was completely unaware of Jiang Leyao's covert seduction. His indifferent eyes were staring intently at the nuts in his hands, and his slender fingertips were peeling the shells skillfully, as if this was the only thing on his mind.

"looks good?"

Li Jinyuan didn't look up, but his lazy and somewhat ruffian words were obviously directed at Jiang Li.

"nice."

Surprised by the girl's frankness, the man paused for a moment.

When he turned around, he saw her supporting her chin with one hand, her big eyes like purple grapes looking at him with watery eyes.

Li Jinyuan's breathing stagnated. He hadn't expected that he would be so easily disturbed by her. What a vixen...

"Shameless."

There was a hint of anger on his face, but the way he pushed the peeled nuts in front of the girl was extremely honest.

The thin lips were slightly curved, but the man hid it very well.

Jiang Li stuffed the nuts into her mouth one by one without any hesitation. Her cheeks were puffed up and her speech was a little unclear.

"You are my husband... Of course I can watch openly..."

Unlike some rats in the gutter, who can only watch secretly...

The girl's voice was very soft, but Li Jinyuan listened to every word.

The curve of the man's mouth grew wider and wider. I don't know what words pleased him...

……

"Mother, this is a birthday gift I specially prepared for you. It's a painting of pine and cranes for the longevity of life by Master Zhong Chen. I wish you good health and happiness, and a happy family!"

Jiang Leyao held the painting in her hands, listening to the admiration from those around her, unable to hide the pride on her face.

"This second young lady is really generous. A painting by Master Zhong Chen would have sold for a sky-high price. I didn't expect that she would actually go to Master Zhong Chen to specifically ask for a painting in order to celebrate Madam Jiang's birthday."

"Compared to that, this idiot eldest daughter is no match for the second daughter. I heard that not only did she fail her studies, but she also has a very spoiled personality, which has given Madam Jiang a lot of trouble. Sigh, being a stepmother is so difficult..."

"That's right. The children of my master and his ex-wife are always unhappy when they see me! They were born by a mother but not raised by her, so they don't know the rules..."
