[Various] The Deposed Crown Prince's Survival Story

Guilt—that was Liu Rong's first feeling.

Why should I feel guilty? These women weren't ones I asked for; they were clearly forced upon me by the mother and daughter—this was Liu Rong's second thought.

But I still feel guilty. Why is that? And the closer Gillian gets, the more guilty I feel.

Seeing Ah Jiao walking towards him with her hands behind her back, pouting, and looking unhappy, Liu Rong straightened his clothes, forced a smile, and greeted her politely, "Cousin Ah Jiao."

"Cousin Rong." Ah Jiao, who is usually lively and energetic, seemed rather listless today, her head tilted to the side, looking as wilted as a frost-bitten cabbage.

"Cousin Ajiao, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Did someone offend you?" Liu Rong teased with a smile, "Quick! Tell your cousin Rong who offended you? If they offended you, your cousin Rong will settle the score with them and help you get revenge."

Girl, please don't answer me with "It's because you offended me," because even I, the Crown Prince, don't want to be portrayed as so clever and witty, almost like a demon.

Gillian raised her head, revealing a hesitant expression, then sniffed pitifully, waved her hand, and said angrily, "Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The maid following behind Ah Jiao immediately retreated dozens of feet.

Liu Rong actually wanted to run away, but he knew without a doubt that he couldn't. So he could only wave his hand calmly, signaling the people around him to leave, before saying with a smile, "Ajiao, what's wrong? Is there something you can't let outsiders hear? Then tell your cousin, and your cousin promises to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know... Hmm, even if Father asks your cousin, your cousin won't tell, okay?"

Liu Rong felt he had spoken very appropriately, but Ajiao was unhappy. She pouted, twisted her body, and said with a displeased expression, "Cousin, you're just trying to coax me again!"

It's not a negative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

But no matter how certain Gillian was, Liu Rong couldn't admit it. "How could that be? How could my cousin flatter Gillian? My cousin likes Gillian so much."

"You're just trying to coax me! Coax me like a little kid!" Ajiao said unhappily. She glanced at Liu Rong, blinked, and tears began to fall.

Ah Jiao's crying really worried Liu Rong.

Why is this little girl so difficult to please? She's so unpredictable, crying one minute and not crying the next. She's so hard to handle, no wonder Liu Xiaozhu... sigh, Liu Xiaozhu doesn't have my good temper.

It wasn't that he was good-natured. As the eldest brother, Liu Rong had always been taught that "the eldest brother is like a father," meaning he should treat his younger siblings well. So he was used to it... If Su Yuzhou could treat his younger brother Hu Hai so well, what right did he have not to treat his younger siblings well?

Because Liu Rong wasn't impatient at all. Instead, he bent down and gently patted Ajiao's head, saying in a very magnetic voice, "Ajiao, be good, don't cry."

Logically speaking, any woman should be smitten when such a handsome, god-like man gently pats her head.

But Gillian didn't. Not only did she not, she also raised her head angrily and said, "Cousin Rong, do you... do you also treat Gillian like a child?"

"Hehe... Gillian, why would you say that?"

Liu Rong quickly glanced at Ajiao. Did she even need to be called a child? From head to toe, body and mind, she was clearly just a little kid.

Ah Jiao lowered her head in grievance, looking at her feet. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the ornament on her belt, and a small sob came from her mouth, "Waaah... Cousin, Ah Jiao doesn't want you to touch other people's women."

"Uh..." Liu Rong was speechless. "A woman's heart is truly unfathomable." Wasn't this woman a gift from you, the Crown Prince? It's not like I wanted her myself, so why are you saying you don't want me to touch other women? This...&!

No wonder Su Yuzhou doesn't date or find a wife. It turns out women are such troublesome creatures. That Oguri-hime from last week... sigh, she's not as difficult to please as Ah Jiao.

Gillian Chung saying such things is quite in line with her original character and style. Just like last week, it's the same recipe and the same familiar taste, except that this time she's the unlucky one.

Moreover, her treatment seemed to be better than Liu Xiaozhu's; at least Gillian Chung didn't throw a tantrum but instead resorted to tears.

Last week, if Gillian hadn't been so unruly from the beginning, and hadn't always bullied Liu Xiaozhu, destroying all of his feelings for her, and had just used her tears instead, she might have been able to retain some of his affection.

“Ah Jiao, I didn’t… These women aren’t you…” Liu Rong said with a troubled expression.

“It wasn’t me…it was Mother…” Ajiao raised her head, her beautiful eyes red, as if filled with endless grievances, “Mother said that Cousin Rong is your adult…and I am just a child…”

Listening to Gillian's stammering explanation, Liu Rong finally understood why Liu Piao and Gillian had gone on a whim to send him beautiful women.

In the previous game, Liu Xiaozhu was a child, and the girl was older than the boy. The one who couldn't wait to get married was Ajiao. In this game, I am an adult, and the girl is younger than the boy. Therefore, the one who can't wait is myself—although it's just that they feel they can't wait.

What if we can't wait?

According to the current customs, rather than letting the crown prince forage for food outside and eat whatever he wanted, and even develop feelings for the food, it would be better to give himself some food. This way, he could not only control his own preferences, but also, because he was born into a princess's family, they would never be able to be on equal footing with Ajiao.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! These women were indeed, as I predicted, sugar-coated bullets.

Liu Rong thought to himself, while also feeling a little sorry for Liu Piao.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. Even though they know their daughter doesn't like it, they still have to put people in their son-in-law's room so that their daughter can be happy.

"Sigh!" Liu Rong sighed heavily, looking at Ajiao who looked like a pitiful wounded little animal, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

He wanted to tell Gillian that he wasn't really interested in women. As long as Gillian was obedient, didn't violate his interests or principles, and could have a child, he didn't need any other women.

Of course, if Gillian cannot have children, as long as it does not involve issues of interest or principle, he can retain her position as empress and continue to dote on her for the rest of his life.

Most importantly, aliens can use energy to modify others, but it requires a lot of energy. This is only for modifying their own bodies; if they want to modify others' bodies, even more energy is needed.

If Gillian's inability to conceive is due to a physical problem, and as time goes by and their relationship deepens, Liu Rong wouldn't mind doing what Su Yuzhou did and spending a lot of energy to improve her*.

But right now, all I can say is that our relationship isn't at that stage yet.

"Ah Jiao, I..."

Liu Rong had just started speaking when he saw Ah Jiao suddenly cover her ears with both hands and scream, "I don't want to hear it!"

"Ah Jiao, I..."

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear Brother Rong's explanation!"

Gillian covered her ears, her eyes red, and shook her head frantically as she turned and ran outside.

"Uh……"

Seeing Gillian run away in tears, Liu Rong was about to lose his mind. What was going on? What was this scene from a shoujo manga?

Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Rong, who was sitting in the carriage and getting more and more depressed, couldn't help but post his experience on the forum.

Subject: Seeking analysis from everyone, what's wrong with my cousin?

Here's what happened... (two thousand words omitted), so what exactly happened to the poster's cousin?

After looking at the poster's nickname and then at the content of their post, all I can say is... OP, being two-faced is no good! Tsundere men only exist in the world of anime and manga.

Girls need to be coaxed, like me... My hobby is picking up girls, just because I'm good at poetry, eloquent, and often praised as a Casanova.

The cousin you're talking about, could it be my older cousin? Impossible! How could my older cousin be so cute? OP, are you kidding me?

I don't believe it! ...

Upstairs, haha, you're such a jerk, how could you possibly click on a girl's cute attribute?

A woman as silly as Gillian Chung could only be like the original poster...

Only a man who is equally silly can bring out her cuteness.

The comment above is absolutely right. You truly deserve to be called a senior. I give you thirty-two thumbs up!

Get out of here, you two scumbags upstairs!

Furious, Liu Rong shut down the forum and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this world? Why is it that a good young man with such upright values ​​like him gets attacked twice in a row? While those two scumbags are all so happy and carefree? Earth is truly a strange place!"

Liu Rong thought that what happened at Princess Guantao's residence today was enough to make him want to vomit blood—he was clearly a virtuous and upright man, yet everyone wanted to put women into his arms. This prince was truly… did this prince really look that thirsty? He had truly slept with all the little animals in the Shanglin Garden! Please don't compare a good young man like this prince to Liu Xiaozhu, who is in heat all year round and 366 days a year, okay?

Unexpectedly, an even more bizarre thing awaited him when he returned to the Crown Prince's Palace.
