Zhou Li and the other two turned around at the sound of the voice, only to see Nangong Yan’er running toward them in a flurry of dust.
“Your Highness! Why didn’t you wait for me?” Nangong Yan’er ran up to Zhou Li and questioned him with dissatisfaction.
“Why should I wait for you?”
“I… I am your Princess Consort…” Nangong Yan’er murmured weakly.
“Heh! Not for much longer!” After saying that, Zhou Li turned and walked away with Leng Ning and Xuan Wu.
“Wait!”
Nangong Yan’er quickly ran in front of Zhou Li and said seriously, “No matter what happens in the future, right now I still am.”
Zhou Li did not even bother responding and simply walked past her.
Seeing this, Nangong Yan’er hurriedly followed behind.
After trailing them for a while, Zhou Li asked irritably, “What are you doing now?”
“I am your wife. I should stay in the same dormitory courtyard as you!” Nangong Yan’er answered firmly.
“I do not agree!”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. Unless you divorce me right now!”
Nangong Yan’er knew that Zhou Li would not divorce her in the short term due to his own considerations. During this time, she had to make him fall in love with her again and change his decision.
Otherwise, not only would she lose face outside, but she would also be neglected at home.
“Heh, stop this nonsense. If we follow your logic, then as my wife, shouldn’t you have properly served me on our wedding night? Before I lose my temper, get lost!”
Nangong Yan’er’s face flushed red from his words, but she gritted her teeth and refused to back down. “I was wrong on the wedding night, but I know my mistake now. Your Highness, give me a chance to prove myself.”
Zhou Li snorted coldly and was about to rebuke her again when a voice suddenly called out, “Yan’er!”
Everyone turned to look. It was Chu Yun, and beside him stood Nangong Xi’er.
Leng Ning and Xuan Wu glanced at Chu Yun, then at Zhou Li, and quietly stepped aside.
Looks like there’s a good show to watch. Hurry and start fighting. I love watching these dramatic confrontations!
Zhou Li also looked at Nangong Yan’er, then at Nangong Xi’er, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Looks like there’s a good show to watch. Hurry and start fighting. I love watching women quarrel!
Meanwhile, Nangong Xi’er, who stood beside Chu Yun, glanced at Nangong Yan’er, then turned to look at Chu Yun.
She knew about Chu Yun and Nangong Yan’er. That was also the main reason she disliked Nangong Yan’er.
But now, her feelings had shifted to someone else. Her main goal now was to separate Nangong Yan’er and Zhou Li.
This situation was exactly what she wanted.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xi’er could not help but smile.
Looks like there’s a good show to watch. Hurry and start fighting. I love watching a husband catching infidelity!
“Yan’er!” Chu Yun ran over with a bright smile and naturally grabbed Nangong Yan’er’s hand.
Seeing this, Nangong Yan’er’s expression immediately changed as she looked at Zhou Li.
Zhou Li sneered, his gaze locking tightly onto Nangong Xi’er.
Sister Xi’er, it’s your turn to perform.
Nangong Xi’er felt her heart tighten under Zhou Li’s cold, mocking gaze.
Why is His Highness looking at me like this? Has he misunderstood my relationship with Chu Yun? Is he disappointed in me?
“Haha, Yun… Classmate Chu,” Nangong Yan’er said awkwardly.
Zhou Li rolled his eyes. What exactly is this woman pretending for? Everyone present already knows the truth.
“Yan’er, how have you been these past two days? You look like you’ve lost quite a bit of weight!” Chu Yun asked with concern.
“I…”
“Isn’t this Brother Chu?” Zhou Li interrupted before she could respond.
Seeing Zhou Li, Chu Yun gave a perfunctory bow. “This one, Chu Yun, greets the Prince of Han!”
Zhou Li pretended to ask, “Brother Chu, it seemed just now you didn’t notice me at all?”
“This one has poor eyesight. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
“Oh, I see. Then why did you call out my Princess Consort’s name the moment you arrived and even hold her hand?” Zhou Li asked with a cold smile.
“Your Highness may not know, Yan’er and I are old acquaintances. Seeing her return to study, I was naturally a bit excited,” Chu Yun explained calmly.
Zhou Li curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Old acquaintances allow such intimacy? Brother Chu seems unaware of proper boundaries between men and women.”
Chu Yun’s expression changed slightly but quickly steadied. “Your Highness, Yan’er and I have known each other since childhood. There is no improper intent.”
Nangong Yan’er stood to the side, her face pale, unable to say a word.
“Very well. But I am curious—why is Cousin Sister here with you as well?” Zhou Li suddenly asked.
Caught off guard, Nangong Xi’er froze slightly.
His Highness… he called me Cousin Sister?
Seeing this, Chu Yun quickly said, “Your Highness, this is this one’s private matter. There is no reason for Your Highness to inquire, is there?”
Hearing this, Zhou Li laughed and casually wrapped an arm around Chu Yun. “Then it seems Brother Chu and Cousin Sister are Dao companions!”
“Hm, Cousin Sister is also a top-tier beauty. Brother Chu is truly fortunate.”
“Sigh, since you and Yan’er are old acquaintances, if I hadn’t interfered, you might have been embracing both sisters by now.”
Chu Yun’s face darkened as he clenched his teeth.
You know that too! But don’t get arrogant. Yan’er will be mine sooner or later!
Zhou Li clearly caught Chu Yun’s thoughts and let out a light laugh.
Go ahead, take them. I just want to see your harem burn!
“Sigh, since you and Yan’er know each other, you may chat first.”
“Ning’er, Wu’er, let’s go!”
With that, Zhou Li prepared to leave with Leng Ning and Xuan Wu.
However, Chu Yun suddenly noticed Leng Ning and Xuan Wu standing to the side.
“Your Highness, who are these two?”
“My two maids, Leng Ning and Xuan Wu,” Zhou Li replied with a smile.
Leng Ning… Xuan Wu…
What beauty…
At once, a strong sense of desire arose in Chu Yun’s heart.
Such beauties, following Zhou Li, this useless man, are simply wasted. I must obtain them.
Thinking this, Chu Yun’s lips curved into a smug smile.
Leng Ning and Xuan Wu sensed Chu Yun’s disgusting gaze and greasy smile, and a wave of discomfort rose within them.
“Alright, I still need to report and arrange our dormitory. I won’t chat further. Brother Chu, we have plenty of time ahead!” Zhou Li said with the same calm smile.
Nangong Xi’er remained unmoved. Sigh, boring. I’m not watching anymore.
But just as Zhou Li turned to leave, Nangong Yan’er and Nangong Xi’er both grabbed the hem of his robe.
“Your Highness…” the two sisters spoke at the same time, but before they could continue, Zhou Li suddenly shouted, “Let go!”
Nangong Yan’er and Nangong Xi’er froze in place. Zhou Li did not spare them another glance and left directly with Leng Ning and Xuan Wu.
Chu Yun felt secretly delighted.
It seems their relationship as husband and wife is not harmonious at all. Hehe… Yan’er, you will eventually belong to me.
Nangong Yan’er looked at Zhou Li’s departing figure with grievance in her eyes.
Your Highness… are you truly this heartless?
Nangong Xi’er felt the same turmoil.
In truth, Zhou Li had not known Nangong Xi’er was behind him. That shout of “Let go” was directed at Nangong Yan’er.
But Nangong Xi’er did not know that. She only thought that His Highness felt disgust toward her.
Does His Highness think I’ve gotten too close to Chu Yun and feels betrayed?
Could it be that during these past days, His Highness had already regarded me as his woman?
I’m sorry, Your Highness. I didn’t know…
Nangong Xi’er kept overthinking in her mind.
…
On the other side, Leng Ning looked at Zhou Li beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke, “Your Highness…”
