The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled gently, took Yang Rong's hand, and said with determination and affection in his eyes, "My lady, in a few days, I will formally marry you and make you an indispensable part of my life."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion, as if she had been struck by a wave of happiness, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words: "What? Husband, you said you want to marry me?"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jinyan felt a warm current surge in his heart. He chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? My Rong'er, are you still worried about something?"

A radiant smile quickly bloomed on Yang Rong's face, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "Happy, of course I'm happy! It's just that all of this came so suddenly, I can hardly believe it."

Xiao Jinyan gently embraced her, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice deep and magnetic: "In a while, your belly will be big. For the sake of our unborn child, I must quickly give you a title and make you the rightful mistress of this mansion."

Yang Rong nestled against his strong chest, her heart brimming with unprecedented sweetness and anticipation: "That would be best, my husband. I will prepare well for our future."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes shone with an indescribable affection and determination as he slowly spoke, "Rong'er, by the way, and Green Pearl beside you, both of you, will you marry me together?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong frowned slightly, a hint of surprise and confusion flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "Jinyan, are you saying... Green Pearl is also getting married? This..."

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled gently, reached out and stroked Yang Rong's hair, his eyes full of doting: "That's right, my wife. Actually, Green Pearl became my woman a little earlier than you. It's just that the situation was unclear at that time, and there were many inconveniences, which is why I was unable to tell you for so long."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's face first showed a hint of surprise, which was then replaced by a warm feeling. She smiled and said, "That's naturally no problem. To be able to share a husband with the Green Pearl sisters would certainly be a wonderful story. However..."

Xiao Jinyan noticed this subtle change and her heart tightened. She quickly asked, "But what? Aren't you happy?"

Yang Rong gently shook her head, a complex light flashing in her eyes: "No, of course I hope that I can be like sisters with Green Pearl and serve the emperor together. It's just..."

She paused slightly, as if weighing something, "I was thinking, if both Green Pearl and I marry into that family, what will happen to this Moonlit Pavilion, this place we've run together for so many years?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt relieved. He gently grasped Yang Rong's hand, his touch warm and firm: "Madam, please don't worry about these trivial matters anymore."

A hint of reluctance and worry was revealed between Yang Rong's brows: "But, Mianyue Pavilion is an important channel for us to obtain information from the outside world. If I really marry into the Xiao family, who will take care of this intricate intelligence network?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled gently and said, "Rong'er, you can rest assured. I will entrust the remaining matters to Luo Chuan. Although he is young, he is exceptionally intelligent and will certainly live up to our expectations and continue to safeguard this vital information lifeline for us."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong smiled with relief: "Alright, since my husband has made proper arrangements, I will follow his decision."

Xiao Jinyan slowly stepped forward, gently embraced Yang Rong, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said, "Madam, in a few days, you will be my lawfully wedded wife. From now on, we will be each other's indispensable other half."

Feeling the warmth of Xiao Jinyan's embrace, Yang Rong felt an indescribable sweetness and happiness welling up inside her. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of playfulness and shyness: "Husband, we have nothing to do today, so how about... you favor me this once?"

After saying that, she boldly placed her leg lightly on Xiao Jinyan's leg. The moment their skin touched, it was as if an electric current was passing through them, conveying endless warmth and longing.

Looking into Yang Rong's affectionate eyes, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of emotion, but he still asked with concern, "Madam, you are pregnant now, is it really okay? I don't want to hurt you and our child for a moment of pleasure."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's face blossomed into an even brighter smile. She gently stroked Xiao Jinyan's face and said softly yet firmly, "It's alright, my husband. Medical books say that moderate sexual intercourse will not only not affect the fetus, but can also promote blood circulation and benefit the fetus's growth."

Xiao Jinyan smiled playfully, gently brushing the tip of Yang Rong's pert nose, and said, "Little slut, you want it?"

Yang Rong's cheeks instantly flushed, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of shyness and anticipation. She nodded slightly: "Yes."

This word seemed to carry immense power, instantly igniting a subtle spark between the two.

Xiao Jinyan chuckled, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "So impatient? Madam is becoming more and more adorable."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's cheeks flushed even more. She pursed her lips and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Of course, doesn't my husband know that after a woman becomes pregnant, her figure becomes increasingly swollen? At that time, I'm afraid my husband will no longer want to touch me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently held Yang Rong's hands and looked at her sincerely: "Alright then, in order not to disappoint Madam's kindness, I will grant your request."

After saying that, he gently wrapped his strong arms around Yang Rong's slender waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

Yang Rong felt as if she were enveloped in a warm current, all her worries and anxieties vanishing instantly. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan's neck and responded with a tender yet passionate kiss. Xiao Jinyan was taken aback by this sudden enthusiasm. He took a deep breath, held Yang Rong tightly, and returned the kiss deeply.

Their kiss grew increasingly passionate and tender, as if the whole world had stood still. As the kiss deepened, their clothes slipped off one by one and scattered on the ground, leaving only a scene of romance and intimacy.

Yang Rong let out a soft moan in Xiao Jinyan's arms, her voice filled with happiness and contentment. She hugged Xiao Jinyan tightly, and the two of them fell onto the soft bed together, like two stars longing to merge.

Three days later, at the Duke of Qi's residence.

It was a beautiful day with bright sunshine and a gentle spring breeze. The sky was as blue as if it had been washed clean, without a single impurity, and the clouds drifted leisurely, as if even nature itself was adding a touch of festive color to this grand wedding.

Outside the Moonlit Pavilion, in the soft morning light, a grand wedding procession slowly set off, accompanied by melodious music and resounding drums, like heavenly sounds piercing the clouds and echoing on every inch of land soaked in joy.

From the simple and elegant Mianyue Pavilion, the festive atmosphere was so strong that it was almost palpable, with music and red silk fluttering all the way to the magnificent gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion. The scene was so spectacular that it was breathtaking.

The two lavishly decorated sedan chairs were particularly eye-catching, their bodies inlaid with dazzling gemstones, and every carved wooden panel revealing the craftsman's exquisite skills, making them like moving works of art. One belonged to the gentle and graceful Yang Rong, and the other to the playful and lively Lü Zhu. The two beauties, each with their own unique charm, added a touch of mystery and anticipation to the wedding.

Inside the Duke of Qi's mansion, lanterns and decorations were already in place, and the place was filled with guests. A grand banquet was in full swing.

At the banquet, a dazzling array of delicacies were laid out, fine wines flowed freely, and laughter and cheerful conversation intertwined to create a joyful symphony.

Numerous officials, dressed in their finest attire, rose to their feet, holding wine glasses, and offered their sincerest blessings to the protagonist of the day—Xiao Jinyan. Their faces beamed with genuine smiles, their words filled with admiration and congratulations, as if they all wished to share this glory and joy with this promising young prince in this unforgettable moment.

Chu Liangchen stepped forward first, his voice gentle and warm, piercing through the noise of the banquet: "Jinyan, happy wedding! May your marriage be as beautiful and lasting as the flowers blooming in spring."

Before he finished speaking, Huan Rongzu also stood up, his eyes full of joy: "I wish the young master a happy marriage, and may your union bring new glory to the family."

Immediately afterward, Wang Xuanyu laughed heartily, raised his glass, and shouted: "Commander, happy marriage! May you also win such a wonderful battle of love on the battlefield of life!"

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm and blessings, Xiao Jinyan's face was filled with a happy smile, but a hint of longing for their wedding night flashed in her eyes.

He gently raised his wine glass, looked around, and said in a gentle but firm voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Xiao Jinyan, am not a good drinker and my heart is with my beloved. I must return to my bridal chamber now. Please continue to drink to your hearts' content, and do not leave until you are drunk!"

After saying this, he turned to leave, his resolute demeanor tinged with tenderness, which drew knowing smiles from everyone present.

Seeing this, Chu Liangchen joked, "It seems Jin Yan is impatient and wants to enjoy the sweet moments of her wedding night."

Wang Xuanyu echoed, a smile gleaming in his eyes: "I think so too. He's been distracted all along; his mind has already wandered to the bride's side."

Amidst laughter and cheers, Xiao Jinyan's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xiao Jinyan walked briskly through the festively decorated courtyard and arrived at the carved wooden door.

Inside, the flickering candlelight created a warm yet mysterious atmosphere—this was his new room. He took a deep breath, gently pushed open the door, and stepped into this place that would soon witness a new chapter in his life.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, casting a soft, warm red glow over everything. On the bed sat two brides dressed in bright red wedding gowns, their heads tightly covered by delicate red veils, revealing only their small, exquisite chins and slightly trembling lips, like two budding peonies waiting for the gentle caress of the spring breeze.

On either side stood two women, both dressed in red. One was the gentle and graceful Yu Xin'er, and the other was the lively and spirited Guan Lingxuan. Their eyes gleamed with cunning, as if they were brewing a unique and exciting show.

When Guan Lingxuan saw Xiao Jinyan step into the room, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She took a few light steps forward, her voice tinged with teasing: "Husband, you've finally arrived. How can we let you get away with this on our wedding night?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of inexplicable anticipation and curiosity. He smiled and replied, "Oh? My ladies, what surprises have you prepared for me on this joyous occasion?"

Guan Lingxuan blinked and said mysteriously, "We're waiting for you to play a special game. Look, sitting on the bed are two 'brides' we've specially prepared for you—Yang Rong and Lü Zhu. But they're both wearing veils right now, so you can't get close, husband. You'll have to use your wisdom to guess which one is the gentle and virtuous Yang Rong and which one is the lively and lovely Lü Zhu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected his brides to come up with such an ingenious game, adding a touch of fun and challenge to what should have been a tranquil and warm evening. He looked around and saw that the room was decorated both festively and elegantly, with every detail revealing care and love, which warmed his heart.

“This game sounds quite interesting,” Xiao Jinyan said with a smile. “You two ladies really know how to have fun.”

Yu Xin'er parted her lips slightly, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and whispered, "Husband, are you ready to accept this unprecedented challenge?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan's lips curled into a confident smile, his eyes filled with nonchalant ease: "This game, to be honest, isn't that difficult. Whether it's Yang Rong or Lü Zhu, even if they closed their eyes and guessed randomly, they'd have a 50% chance of getting it right. Why not give it a try?"
