After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Xing looked up at Jun Lanjin: "Your Highness?!"

Jun Lanjin sat on the bed, her crimson lips pressed together as she coldly looked at Xie Xing: "What? Fifth Miss Xie, you dare to do it but not admit it? Are you trying to act like a hooligan?"

"..."

Male lust is misleading!

Xie Xing couldn't help but secretly slap himself, then tilted his head back and approached Jun Lanjin, "Your Highness, please calm down."

"After all, you're not in good health right now, so I'll do whatever you say."

She tilted her head back, and in her clear, deep eyes, there was only Jun Lanjin's reflection.

Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes, then slowly sat down on the bed and said leisurely, "So, you agree to be my queen?"

Xie Xing: "..."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

It would be difficult for her to agree now.

But if she were to ask herself honestly, did she dislike Jun Lanjin?

That's impossible too.

Xie Xing hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, must I give you an answer now?"

"Hmm?" Jun Lanjin raised his hand, rubbing his fingertips, and said calmly, "It's not like I need an answer right now."

Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what kind of relationship do we have now, Xie Xing?" Jun Lanjin raised her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at Xie Xing with a half-smile.

Xie Xing's newly relieved breath was jolted back up by Jun Lanjin's question.

"Just now, you were the one who pinned me down on the bed and kissed me. Do you intend to kiss me and then not take responsibility?"

Jun Lanjin's smile conceals a dagger.

Xie Xing: "..."

Ultimately, all Jun Lanjin wanted was a formal title, right?

If that's all there is to it, then it's simple.

Xie Xing smiled at Jun Lanjin, moved closer to the bed, and said, "Your Highness asked me if I have any affection for you, and of course I do."

"After all, how many women in this world could resist the allure of a man as handsome and dashing as the Prince?"

"how about you?"

Jun Lanjin is not easily fooled.

Xie Xing chuckled: "Your Highness, in the end, I'm no different from any other woman. Naturally, I can't resist Your Highness's charm."

"It is already a great honor for me that Your Highness is willing to accept my kindness."

Jun Lanjin smiled and said, "That's a nice thing to say."

Xie Xing continued, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't we..."

She drew out the last syllable of her voice, her fingertips caressing Jun Lanjin's hand, "How about we become lovers?"

"A romantic relationship?" Jun Lanjin's upturned lips slowly flattened, and his dark eyes looked at Xie Xing: "What do you mean by a romantic relationship?"

"Do you want me to have an ambiguous, unclear relationship with you?"

Xie Xing quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, now is not a good time to discuss marriage. Think about it, you have not completely cleared away the toxins, and you are also facing internal and external troubles."

"Moreover, now that you know Luo Hanfeng is the biggest change, you naturally want to find a way to get rid of him!"

Jun Lanjin said slowly, "Why would I want to get rid of Luo Hanfeng?"

Xie Xing was stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth several times, then stopped, unable to find her voice for a long time. After a long pause, she slowly uttered, "Huh?"

"You...you're not going to get rid of Luo Hanfeng?"

What's going on? Isn't Jun Lanjin the biggest villain in this book?

The biggest obstacle to Luo Hanfeng's ascension to the throne.

Now Xie Xing heard Jun Lanjin say with his own ears that he didn't have much desire to get rid of Luo Hanfeng.

This doesn't align with Xie Xing's thinking.

"In the end, all Luo Hanfeng wants is the throne, but I have no interest in the throne. It's just a struggle for succession among the princes. Why would I want to kill him?"

Xie Xing was bewildered and puzzled: "But Your Highness, you don't want to kill him, but he wants to kill you!"

Xie Xing stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

Jun Lanjin raised a finger and placed it near Xie Xing's lips, saying calmly, "Women are not allowed to criticize the government."

"You only need to focus on your own family's affairs. As for Luo Hanfeng's matter, I will naturally make my own assessment."

"Speaking of which, what does 'lover relationship' mean?" Jun Lanjin brought the topic back to the beginning.

Xie Xing froze for a moment before helplessly saying, "From today onwards, the relationship between Your Highness and me will naturally be closer than before."

"We're closer than friends, but not quite husband and wife yet."

"So, you like me, but you don't want to marry me?" Jun Lanjin asked bluntly.

Xie Xing's eyes darted away: "Yes."

"why?"

Xie Xing took a deep breath before slowly saying, "My relationship with the prince is always lacking in something. I like the prince, but I respect him even more."

Jun Lanjin stared at Xie Xing for a while before slowly saying, "Are you saying that you respect me, yet you dare to pin me down on the bed and kiss me?"

"Xie Xing, who taught you this?"

Xie Xing: "..."

Jun Lanjin moved closer to Xie Xing again, but this time it was different from before. He pinched Xie Xing's chin, applying some pressure with his fingertips, and looked at Xie Xing seriously with his dark eyes:

"Xie Xing, I am not like other men. I will not be fooled by your few words. If you try to fob me off or play with me, I know I might do something to you out of love and hate, just like Luo Hanfeng did."

Xie Xingtong's eyes trembled.

"Since you are willing to get close to me and have personally expressed your feelings for me, then I will assume that you are willing to marry me as my queen in the future."

"You are young now, I can wait."

"But if you try to toy with my feelings, you're welcome to give it a shot."

Jun Lanjin's tone was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression.

At this moment, Xie Xing seemed to finally feel a slight sense of oppression from Jun Lanjin, a villain.

Xie Xing: "..."

"What are you thinking?" Jun Lanjin didn't give Xie Xing a chance to remain silent. Compared to Luo Hanfeng's helplessness and his forced pleading, Jun Lanjin seemed to have woven a net and placed it there, waiting for Xie Xing to enter the trap.

But when the prey hesitated at the door, he didn't mind using force.

It is precisely this bit of assertiveness that is within an acceptable range.

It puts people in a difficult position.

[Host, you're really acting like a scumbag woman right now. You're the one taking advantage of others, and you're the one who doesn't want to take responsibility.] The system commented after looking at it for a long time.

[If things don't work out, just talk it out. Relationships break up and get back together all the time in real life. Your first love is a popular villain, and besides, he's the one the character is attracted to. What more could you ask for?]

Just treat it like dating, let's date.

"But..." Xie Xing hesitated.

[What if I want to go home the day I reach maximum affection with someone? Wouldn't that be like playing with someone's feelings?]

Xie Xing felt this was very immoral.
