The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Jin Chenyuan was utterly speechless at this moment.

To be honest, if circumstances allowed, he really hoped that Shao Qi didn't have that chastity mark on him. If Shao Qi's chastity mark were broken by someone else beforehand, he believed that even if Yue Li and Shao Qi had a good relationship, Yue Li definitely wouldn't accept Shao Qi.

Unexpectedly, Shao Qi actually possessed the chastity mark. Looking at the person in front of him who was so happy he almost jumped for joy, Jin Chenyuan stood up, patted the wrinkles on his body, and said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. The rest is up to you."

As he spoke, Jin Chenyuan picked up the folding fan on the table and walked a few steps to the door of the reception room. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Jin Chenyuan stopped and said to Shao Qi with his back to him, "I haven't married A Li yet, so Young Master, don't come to Prince Chen's mansion to look for A Li all the time."

After saying that, without waiting for Shao Qi's reaction, Jin Chenyuan strode out of the cabin.

Shao Qi, in a good mood, didn't pay much attention to Jin Chenyuan's words. He was going to Prince Chen's residence to see Yue Li, not to see him. As long as he could see Yue Li at Prince Chen's residence, he would be happy, and he didn't care what Prince Chen's mood was.

Shao Qi, who was happily enjoying himself alone, was unaware that after Jin Chenyuan left the cabin, he had taken Yue Li to a secluded spot on the pleasure boat.

........................

Yue Li was idly watching the exquisite flower boats on the lake from the deck, but her mind was filled with thoughts of what the two of them had said in the cabin.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind. Yue Li turned her head and saw Jin Chenyuan striding towards her.

After carefully observing Jin Chenyuan's complexion and seeing that he looked normal, Yue Li smiled and waved, "Jin... Ayuan, come here quickly."

Seeing Yue Li's unrestrained and bright smile, Jin Chenyuan felt a bit better, and a gentle smile returned to his face. However, his eyes held a dangerous glint. He quickly walked to Yue Li's side, took her hand, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at, A-Li?"

As he spoke, he led Yue Li away from everyone's sight and to a corner of the deck and cabin.

"It's nothing. You all left, leaving me all alone. I just wanted to look at the flower boats on the lake."

Yue Li's words expressed all the deep dissatisfaction in her heart.

Ultimately, she still wanted to know what the two of them had said behind her back.

Seeing Yue Li glancing at him with her captivating fox-like eyes, Jin Chenyuan felt that her gaze was almost enough to steal his heart.

He bent down and, catching Yue Li off guard, scooped her up to his height. As Yue Li gasped in surprise at losing her balance, a pair of cool, thin lips silenced her gasp. At that moment, those slightly parted lips were more like a silent invitation.

"You... let go..."

At that moment, her heart was pounding with nervousness. She knew they were on a ship, and there were quite a few people standing not far away.

Jin Chenyuan released Yue Li's cherry lips, but did not let go of the arms around him. Jin Chenyuan pressed his forehead against Yue Li's forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "Li Bao, I promised him."

These words made Yue Li pause in her resistance. She glanced at their current location, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body against his hard chest, and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips that were so close to hers.

Noticing Yue Li's reaction, Jin Chenyuan pinned her against the ship's side behind him, holding her slender waist with one hand to prevent her from slipping down, and supporting the back of her head with the other.

He knew that Yue Li's current reaction stemmed from Shao Qi's matter, which made her feel somewhat guilty towards him. Jin Chenyuan didn't want much; he simply needed that trace of guilt in Yue Li's heart to increase his importance in her life.

While catching his breath,

A series of footsteps and Shao Qi's question came from behind. Jin Chenyuan released Yue Li, his eyes filled with intense desire. He kissed away the water stains on her lips and whispered, "Someone's coming. Li Bao, we should go out too."

"you……"

Jin Chenyuan's ethereal yet alluring appearance completely captivated Yue Li, causing her to forget the words she was about to say.

So you did know we were on someone else's boat!

Yue Li glared at Jin Chenyuan and thought to herself.

Seeing Yue Li's eyes glazed and alluring from his kiss, her lips slightly swollen, Jin Chenyuan's bad mood, which had been hanging over him since arriving at the Marriage Lake, finally eased.

Her tongue brushed against her slightly numb lips, and she glanced at Jin Chenyuan, who was bending over to straighten her somewhat disheveled clothes. Yue Li immediately channeled her spiritual energy into her lips. Instantly, her previously swollen lips were reduced to a deep, vibrant red.

After tidying up Yue Li's clothes and straightening his own, Jin Chenyuan led Yue Li out of the cramped space.

As soon as they came out, Shao Qi, who had been looking for them, saw them and said, "So you two were here all along!"

As they drew closer, they saw Yue Li's flushed cheeks, her misty eyes, and her luscious red lips. Instinctively, Shao Qi's gaze fell upon Jin Chenyuan's lips.

Sure enough, his lips were also somewhat red and swollen.

Noticing what the two had just done, Shao Qi's bright smile faltered for a moment, but it was only for a second before his smile returned. He looked at Yue Li and said, "Yue Li, Princess Xinrong just sent someone to say that they have arrived at the Marriage Lake."

"Really? Then let's hurry up and get on their ship." Seeing Shao Qi's change in expression, Yue Li pursed her lips awkwardly. Now that Shao Qi had taken the initiative to change the subject, she immediately chimed in.

God!

I don't know how women in this world manage to navigate relationships with so many men so effortlessly.

Why is she already so embarrassed, digging her toes into the ground, before she's even started?

Noticing his own fidgeting hands, and seeing Yue Li's somewhat embarrassed expression, Jin Chenyuan changed the subject, saying, "Let's go then. The beef jerky and milk tea that A-Li asked me to bring are still in the carriage. I'll have You Yun take them to Princess Xinrong's boat later."

Although it's unclear why Yue Li behaved this way, after all, in this world, all women are already very accustomed to the pattern of men revolving around them.

It could also be said that they thoroughly enjoy their current situation.

However, in the end, Yue Li's mentality meant that he benefited. After all, in this world, apart from Yue Li, no woman would feel guilty towards her other husband for finding someone new.
