Chapter 59 She's actually jealous

Unlike Gu Lingzhi's intense inner turmoil, Mo Jiuxiao seemed completely oblivious to the meaning behind Gu Fuling's words.

With a slight lift of his slender phoenix eyes, he turned his head to glance at Gu Lingzhi: "I'm tired."

Gu Fuling was taken aback, only to find that Mo Jiuxiao completely ignored her. This feeling of being ignored was very unpleasant, and the good demeanor she had been deliberately putting on was showing signs of cracking.

But she still held back.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Fuling said softly, "Then... Uncle Wang, go and rest!"

Gu Fuling instructed her maid to lead the way for Mo Jiuxiao. Mo Jiuxiao casually straightened his robes and led Gu Lingzhi into the clean and tidy Zihan Pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by flower beds and trees, and the scenery was quite beautiful, with a fresh and pleasant atmosphere.

Mo Jiuxiao waved his hand, signaling all the maids to leave.

Seeing that no one was around, Gu Lingzhi closed the door behind her. She frowned tightly, gritted her teeth, and stared at Mo Jiuxiao: "Is what Gu Fuling said true?"

As Mo Jiuxiao walked inside, he took off his clothes, asking, "What do you mean, 'real' or 'fake'?"

When Gu Lingzhi saw that the other party was pretending to be confused, she was speechless for a moment. She stood in front of the door, feeling that she had nowhere to vent her anger.

"Then I congratulate Your Highness! Congratulations!"

She spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Mo Jiuxiao turned around at this moment and took in the anger on her face.

Lowering his slender eyes, thick eyelashes obscured the light in them. Mo Jiuxiao sat on a chair not far from her, his posture elegant and his demeanor extraordinary: "Are you jealous?"

With a buzzing sound, Gu Lingzhi's head seemed to explode from those words.

What... she's jealous?

Gu Lingzhi shook her head in a daze: "I didn't."

Mo Jiuxiao looked at her with a knowing expression: "If you don't have one, why are you angry?"

These words were like tearing off the mask she wore from the inside out, exposing all her thoughts. Gu Lingzhi's fingers trembled slightly, but she felt her heart beating very fast.

Is she really jealous?

Otherwise, what right does she have to be angry?

Wouldn't it be better if Mo Jiuxiao married someone else?

Several rhetorical questions swirled in Gu Lingzhi's mind.

Then, she quickly calmed herself down.

Gu Lingzhi had a very strong heart and could calm herself down in the shortest time. She glanced at Mo Jiuxiao indifferently, then turned and walked outside: "Your Highness, please rest well. I will be on guard outside tonight."

Mo Jiuxiao stepped up, his already slightly upturned eyes filled with a bewitching and alluring quality in the night. His dark purple pupils reflected Gu Lingzhi's image, giving him a captivating and mesmerizing beauty.

At this moment, he had already caught Gu Lingzhi, who was trying to escape.

After looking her up and down with his eyes, Mo Jiuxiao finally spoke: "My words are law."

Gu Lingzhi suddenly raised her head, subconsciously looking at his expression.

Mo Jiuxiao's expression was solemn, and a serious emotion was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

Gu Lingzhi took a deep breath: "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

She pretended not to understand, but she really wanted to hear Mo Jiuxiao say it again.

"Since I have promised you, I will certainly give you what you want."

Gu Lingzhi felt a pang of panic, but she forgot something else. With her eyes lowered, her voice was cold: "Your Highness, what Lingzhi wants is a lifetime of monogamy. Can you deliver on that?"

Mo Jiuxiao was stunned, and the hand gripping her arm slowly tightened.

He is thinking.

Seeing Mo Jiuxiao hesitate, Gu Lingzhi felt very uncomfortable, but she also knew that in an era where it was very normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, her raising this point was definitely setting a precedent.

Therefore, Gu Lingzhi did not expect Mo Jiuxiao to agree to anything.

After all, even Gu Fuling, who was reborn, had to endure the concubines in the Third Prince's mansion.

Even though she was favored, the Third Prince treated her very well, and the concubines in the mansion were all disciplined and obedient by her, Gu Lingzhi still couldn't accept it at all.

Since the two people who get married don't love each other, it's better not to get married at all. For her, love is something that can never be divided; it represents exclusivity and monogamy.

Gu Lingzhi asked him again, "If I may be so bold as to ask, can Your Highness do it?"

She slightly raised her chin, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

Mo Jiuxiao pinched her chin, but in that instant, he gently covered her lips with his.

At that moment, Gu Lingzhi's eyes widened, her lips seemed to be electrocuted, she clenched her fists tightly, and her heart warmed slightly.

"What do you say?"

Mo Jiuxiao gently licked the corner of his lips, giving his pale lips an alluring luster.

Gu Lingzhi blushed instantly.

Mo Jiuxiao's face was simply too handsome; even Gu Lingzhi, who had seen countless handsome men, couldn't help but feel her heart race.

She turned her head away and wiped her lips with her hand. "In that case, Your Highness, please control your lower body and your eyes. Do not look at other women or touch them."

Mo Jiuxiao couldn't help but laugh.

That smile was quite impactful, but thankfully Gu Lingzhi had a strong heart and could withstand it.

"You have many requests, but I also have one request."

Gu Lingzhi was slightly distracted, but she quickly became alert: "What are your requirements?"

As he reached for Gu Lingzhi's clothes, he whispered, "Since you are destined to be mine in this life, why can't I enjoy you now? Do you want me to just leave you here to look at?"

Gu Lingzhi was stunned and hurriedly pulled at her clothes: "His Highness's words are law, he said you can't touch me before we have a formal title."

Mo Jiuxiao raised his eyes: "That's what you said, I didn't agree to it."

"Shameless!"

Mo Jiuxiao picked him up and placed him on the bed, then bit him: "I'm tired of hearing that. Can you say anything else?"

Gu Lingzhi's face flushed red with anger, but her clothes kept slipping off her body. She struggled desperately on the bed and started fighting with Mo Jiuxiao.

Now that she has almost recovered, and with the training she has undergone over the past month, her physique has also greatly improved. Although she is still not as strong as Mo Jiuxiao, she can at least last a few dozen rounds against him.

The two of them almost demolished the entire Zihan Pavilion.

The maids who were guarding outside at a distance were terrified when they heard the commotion and quickly reported the news to the Third Prince and Gu Fuling.

When Gu Fuling and Mo Jinghan arrived, the commotion inside had subsided considerably. Gu Fuling, her face grave, tried to enter the courtyard, but heard her subordinates say, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince said earlier that no one was allowed to enter and disturb us, so we..."

Gu Fuling stopped in her tracks, and Mo Jinghan grabbed her wrist: "It should be alright. There are no assassins in my residence."

Gu Fuling certainly knew this.

But when she saw the priceless vase lying on the doorway from afar, her eyelids still twitched with pain.

The Purple Cold Pavilion is where the Third Prince's residence entertains distinguished guests. All the facilities inside are extremely precious. Fortunately, Gu Fuling secretly manages a bank, so although she feels a bit of pain, she doesn't lose her composure.

She let out a long breath: "You lot, stay here and keep watch. Report any movement to me immediately, understand?"

"Yes, madam!"

The maids nodded obediently.

Mo Jinghan took off his cloak and draped it over Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling felt a warmth in her heart, and looked up at Mo Jinghan, her eyes filled with deep love.

However, the look he gave her in return was like a bottomless abyss.

Gu Lingzhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She was panting as she was pressed against the edge of the bed, her arms twisted behind her back, and the man pressed himself against her.

Mo Jiuxiao's face was not red and he was not out of breath, which clearly showed that he had excellent physical strength.

"So, are you convinced?"

No way! Mo Jiuxiao was already incredibly strong, and with all those years of martial arts training, even his previous body wouldn't have been a match for him, let alone his current frail and delicate form.

The two men, unarmed, searched the entire room.

Mo Jiuxiao was also surprised. Although he knew that Gu Lingzhi was no match for him, her methods always surprised him.

In addition, Gu Lingzhi was a medical expert and knew Mo Jiuxiao's weaknesses best.

What shocked Mo Jiuxiao the most was Gu Lingzhi's keen eye.

Those who practice martial arts also have enhanced vision. In the process of fighting, they rely on intuition and their eyesight.

A person who can see through all of another's weaknesses is absolutely terrifying.

Gu Lingzhi has excellent dynamic vision because she has studied shooting.

With the object moving at high speed, she had to accurately pinpoint the target's location and hit it every time.

But most importantly, her body can no longer keep up with her thoughts.

Whenever she discovered Mo Jiuxiao's weakness, her reaction was noticeably slower than a beat when it came to taking action.

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his head and moved closer to her neck in a very ambiguous manner.

The soft breath lingered on Gu Lingzhi's neck: "It seems I don't know you well enough. But, would you like to learn martial arts from me?"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes immediately lit up.

In this era where the strong are respected, Gu Lingzhi, who was constantly being assassinated, truly understood the importance of martial arts to a person.

She already had a good foundation, and if Mo Jiuxiao could teach her, she would definitely be able to recover to her previous level in the shortest amount of time.

"Of course I do!"

Mo Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes, his voice cold: "Fine, from now on, I will teach you properly. As for not wanting to sleep with me, that's fine too, on the condition that you can beat me."

"You..." Gu Lingzhi was speechless at this shameless behavior.

Mo Jiuxiao leaned forward and firmly controlled her.

After such a long period of physical exertion, Gu Lingzhi had long since lost the strength to resist. She let out a soft hum, closed her eyes, and tried to find peace of mind by not seeing it.

But the more I closed my eyes, the more pronounced the feeling became.

Her body was incredibly sensitive for some reason, yet it was also as if she had gotten used to this kind of thing, and she easily accepted the man in front of her.
