"?"
When the words "marry me" came out of the mouth of the young lady from the Zhao family in front of him, Lin Jiangnian fell silent.
It seemed as if he hadn't expected that she would actually come up with such a responsible solution.
Logically speaking, Lin Jiangnian's accidental glance at the Zhao family's young lady was unintentional, but he had seen everything he should have seen. If he was to be responsible, marrying her would be the right thing to do.
But the problem is, this responsibility is not so easy to bear...
Not to mention their identities, one is the prince of Lin Wang, and the other is the daughter of the prime minister. The positions they represent are destined to make it impossible for them to have a relationship.
What's more, Lin Jiangnian is still engaged...
So, if she knew this, what was the meaning of saying this?
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't speak, Zhao Xi stared into his eyes and sneered: "Why don't you say anything?"
"You don't want to take responsibility?!"
With a questioning tone, at this moment, the young lady of the Zhao family in front of him had lost her previous gentle temperament, and was replaced by a condescending and domineering attitude.
She was tall to begin with, and her jade feet wrapped in white stockings stepped on the blanket, her eyes almost meeting Lin Jiangnian's.
She pressed on.
It's like forcing and condemning a heartless man.
Lin Jiangnian met her eyes and was silent for a moment: "Ms. Zhao, are you serious?"
Zhao Xi said coldly: "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Her face was cold and expressionless as she said, "You have already tarnished my innocence. Do you still want to deny it?"
"etc……"
Lin Jiangnian's eyelids suddenly jumped: "Miss Zhao, the word 'defile' is a bit too much."
He just glanced at it carelessly, how could it be considered defilement?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xi said coldly, "I'm not married yet, but you've seen my body. Doesn't that mean my innocence has been tarnished by you? What's the problem?"
"Does His Royal Highness still want to deny it?"
Faced with Zhao Xi's aggressiveness, Lin Jiangnian fell silent again. It seemed like what she said was actually correct?
After all, these days, if you accidentally see a woman's body, isn't that really the same as "defilement"?
Thinking so, Lin Jiangnian inexplicably had the illusion that he was being relied upon.
"Heh, it seems like His Royal Highness really doesn't want to take responsibility?!"
Lin Jiangnian remained silent. Zhao Xi's face was filled with emotion, and a blush crept across his cold, fair face. He clenched his teeth and sneered, "If that's the case, I'll have to find someone to judge this matter!"
"His Highness, the Crown Prince of Lin, defiled a woman's innocence yet refused to take responsibility. I wonder how the Lord of Linzhou would react when he learns of this?"
"I don't know what the world will think when they find out."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Zhao Xi stared at Lin Jiangnian, his bright eyes filled with a bit of shame and anger, an indescribable complexity, and some inexplicable strange colors flashing.
Vaguely like... proud?
What is she proud of?
"Miss Zhao, don't be anxious."
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility, nor did I say I wouldn't marry Miss Zhao... Don't be so hasty."
Zhao Xi's expression was slightly tense, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes: "So, you are willing to marry me?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and sighed, "Today's incident was originally a misunderstanding, but it has already happened. Miss Zhao is still unmarried and innocent. If this matter were to get out, it would certainly have a bad impact..."
"I wanted to apologize to Miss Zhao, but I didn't expect her to be willing to marry me. I hope this prince will take responsibility. Since Miss Zhao is so straightforward..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhao Xi in front of him and spoke seriously, "Miss Zhao is willing to be my concubine, so I will not let her down... After I go back and prepare for two days, I will come to Prime Minister Zhao in person to ask for her hand in marriage."
"?"
Zhao Xi stood there in a daze.
Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, his eyes became blank and the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
Marry, marry her?
This guy... he, he really wants to marry her?!
Do it, do it small?
When did she become a child?!
When did she, the daughter of the Zhao family, end up being reduced to being his concubine?!
Zhao Xi was stunned!
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to teach Lin Jiangnian a lesson, vent his anger at being taken advantage of, and at the same time use it to threaten and control this guy.
But I didn't expect that this guy didn't play by the rules at all!
He actually dared to say that he wanted to marry me?
Does he know what nonsense he is talking about?!
Does he know that his fiancée is the eldest princess of the current dynasty?
Isn't he afraid that Li Piaomiao will send him to the palace to become a eunuch with one sword?!
Zhao Xi was still confused, but she saw Lin Jiangnian bowing to her, turning around and walking outside, as if he really planned to go back and prepare, and come to propose marriage in two days.
Zhao Xi suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said in shame and anger: "You, you stop right there!"
Lin Jiangnian paused for a moment: "Miss Zhao, is there anything else?"
"you……"
Zhao Xi's eyes widened, her expression a mixture of shame and anger. She had intended to use this to threaten this guy, but unexpectedly, it seemed like she was giving him a good deal.
Zhao Xi was anxious and angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who said I want to be the mistress?!"
"I, I want to be the biggest... If you want to marry me, you must marry me in a formal ceremony and make me your legal wife. I will never be a concubine!"
At this moment, Zhao Xi only felt her face burning hot and blushing with embarrassment.
She, what on earth is she talking about!
What does it mean to be a legal wife?
Why not be a concubine?
Pooh……
Lin Jiangnian turned around and looked at her strangely: "Miss Zhao, do you mean to become my prince's legal wife?"
“That’s right!”
Zhao Xi raised her head slightly, glanced at him, and said through gritted teeth, "Isn't my status and position unworthy of your wife's?!"
"Miss Zhao is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao, and of noble status, so she is naturally worthy..."
Lin Jiangnian paused: "However, there is still a small problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Miss Zhao should already know that this prince is already engaged, right?"
"I know, so what?"
Zhao Xi glanced at Lin Jiangnian coldly. She was naturally aware of this, and that was why she dared to propose the condition that Lin Jiangnian marry her as his wife.
It was certain that Lin Jiangnian would not dare to agree!
If he really intended to marry me as his wife, he would certainly be disobeying the court's marriage order, and the price of that crime would be high.
Zhao Xi sneered in her heart. She wanted to see what choice he would make.
"This prince has a marriage granted by His Majesty. Logically speaking, the eldest princess is this prince's legal wife..."
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said, "So, if Miss Zhao also wants to be the legal wife... maybe she'll have to negotiate with Her Royal Highness the Princess first!"
"If the princess agrees, this prince will have no problem with it."
"?"
The smile on Zhao Xi's face froze again.
Negotiation?
Let her negotiate with Li Piaomiao?
Negotiate with the eldest princess who will be his legal wife?
Is what he said really human?!
What do you mean the eldest princess agrees and there is absolutely no problem with him?
What he thought was so beautiful!
After a brief silence, Zhao Xi's heart grew angrier, her expression on the verge of breaking. She gritted her teeth, filled with shame and indignation: "This is your problem... If you want to marry me, you have to divorce her!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Miss Zhao is making things difficult for me!"
"Who told you to peek at me taking a shower?!"
Lin Jiangnian: "...First of all, I'd like to state that I wasn't peeking, I just barged in accidentally. Secondly..."
"The bathtub was foggy at the time, so I didn't see anything... Miss Zhao can rest assured."
Zhao Xi stared at him coldly: "Do you think I believe it?"
“…”
Obviously, Zhao Xi didn't believe it.
Of course, Lin Jiangnian didn't expect her to believe it.
He was silent for a moment, then looked quietly at Miss Zhao, whose face was slightly ashen, her watery eyes shimmering with shame and anger as she glared at him. He sighed, "Miss Zhao, you know it's impossible, so why bother making this so difficult for me?"
Zhao Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at him coldly: "Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
"That's not the case."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "It is true that this prince was at fault for what happened today... However, Miss Zhao also knows that asking this prince to marry you is nonsense..."
"Let's not talk about whether Miss Zhao is really willing. Even if Miss Zhao is willing, Prime Minister Zhao will definitely not agree."
"Let's take a step back and say, even if Prime Minister Zhao were to lose his mind and agree...I'm afraid the entire court wouldn't agree."
Zhao Xi was silent, staring at the guy in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.
He was right, she was indeed deliberately making things difficult for him.
As for really marrying him?
Zhao Xi really hadn't thought about it.
How could the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty marry the son of a vassal prince?
If she really gets married, how will Prime Minister Zhao gain a foothold in the court in the future?
Should we support the reduction of feudal lords or oppose it?
How should the ministers in the court view this veteran of three dynasties?
"So, what should we do?"
Zhao Xi stared at him, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of shame and anger, and she gritted her teeth secretly.
Although it is indeed impossible to marry this guy, he has seen her body after all. How could she not mind?
We can't let him off so easily, right?
Lin Jiangnian asked in return, "Miss Zhao should have thought about it a long time ago, right?"
Zhao Xi was silent for a moment, then glared at Lin Jiangnian before snorting coldly, "I can certainly let go of what happened today, or just pretend nothing ever happened..."
"But you have to help me with something!"
"Kill Chen Zhao?"
“That’s right!”
Zhao Xi nodded, staring into his eyes. "Helping me kill Chen Zhao is my compensation... Let's just write off what happened today and never mention it again. How about that?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed in his heart, he knew this was the condition.
Kill Chen Zhao!
This was the condition Miss Zhao proposed when he first met her. Lin Jiangnian declined at that time. When she brought it up for the second time when they met yesterday, Lin Jiangnian still declined.
Now, bring it up again.
Lin Jiangnian was well prepared today. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "I can promise to help you try this once, but I can't guarantee success."
Lin Jiangnian did not make any guarantees. He had never met the old eunuch in the palace and did not know the other party's background. In addition, there were too many variables, so he could not guarantee that everything would be foolproof.
He agreed, but he didn't say that he could definitely kill Chen Zhao... This was the leeway Lin Jiangnian left for himself.
Even so, Zhao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, but he quickly restrained it, glared at him lightly, and snorted, "That's more like it!"
After a pause, he continued, "Regardless of whether you succeed or not, as long as you are willing to try and do your best... If you can get rid of him, it will be considered as eliminating a scourge for the court and the people of the world. The people of the world will remember your contribution."
Lin Jiangnian had no conscious desire to eliminate harm for the court or the people, and whether or not he would be gratefully remembered by the people was unimportant. He had agreed simply to repay Miss Zhao's favor and to apologize for the misunderstanding that had occurred.
"Come to think of it, I haven't had time to thank Miss Zhao for her help today!"
Lin Jiangnian recalled something and said, "Thanks to Miss Zhao's help, Gao Wenyang was able to reveal his true colors so quickly today."
When Lin Jiangnian left yesterday, he had received a lot of intelligence from Zhao Xi. It turned out that this young lady from the Zhao family had already secretly investigated the murder of Zhou Huiguang at the Lu family wedding.
This is also the reason why she was so confident when she first met Lin Jiangnian.
Even without the intelligence from Miss Zhao, Lin Jiangnian would have been able to track down Gao Wenyang and uncover the truth, though it would have taken a little longer. However, with Zhao Xi's help, he saved a lot of time.
This favor was neither big nor small, but it just made Lin Jiangnian not know how to repay it.
And this is also the brilliance of this Miss Zhao.
Zhao Xi snorted coldly: "Is this your thanks?"
"I helped you, and all you got is a verbal thank you?"
Lin Jiangnian asked, "Then, how would you like to express your gratitude, Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Xi pondered for a moment, but couldn't quite figure out how to thank this guy. He'd originally helped him so that Lin Jiangnian could assassinate Chen Zhao, but now that he'd agreed, Zhao Xi was at a loss as to what to do.
After thinking for a moment, he snorted, "I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll owe it to you for now."
Zhao Xi glanced at him again and said, "Help me kill Chen Zhao first."
"How to kill?"
Zhao Xi turned and walked to the table beside him, took out a sheepskin map from under the table, and spread it flat on the table.
Lin Jiangnian moved closer and took a look: "What is this?"
"Map of the palace!" Zhao Xi didn't even raise his head.
Palace map?
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the sheepskin map, and sure enough, he saw many familiar marked place names on the map. It also recorded in detail the locations of many palaces in the imperial palace, as well as the patrol distribution and changing of guards of the palace.
Very detailed!
It can be seen that this young lady from the Zhao family is well prepared.
"Chen Zhao lives deep in the palace, while His Majesty is in seclusion in the Health Palace. Chen Zhao has been guarding the Palace. If we want to kill him, we must start from here..."
At this point, Zhao Xi looked up at Lin Jiangnian and said, "If His Majesty summons you, it will most likely be here, and the person who will receive you will definitely be Chen Zhao. This is your best chance to get close to him..."
Lin Jiangnian listened quietly as Miss Zhao described her detailed plan for assassinating Chen Zhao. She had made thorough preparations, including the timing of the assassination, the deployment of secret guards inside and outside the Health Preservation Hall, and how to escape safely after the assassination was successful. Everything was planned long ago...
After listening to this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but admire the meticulousness of the Miss Zhao. Her plan was linked one step at a time. If nothing unexpected happened, it would indeed be a perfect assassination plan.
but……
"Miss Zhao, are you sure that Chen Zhao is just an old eunuch who is powerless?"
Lin Jiangnian asked, "What if he knows martial arts?"
Zhao Xi was silent for a moment, then looked up at Lin Jiangnian and said, "Don't you know how to do it too?"
"My mediocre skills are not good enough to be put on the stage."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. He was unsure of the old eunuch's martial arts skills, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"I don't know if he knows martial arts or how strong he is."
Zhao Xi's tone was unusually uncertain: "No one has ever seen him take action, so I don't think he will..."
"Want to come?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "This is just your guess. What if he is a hidden master, a great master?"
Zhao Xi was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I have to give it a try... If he really is a peerless master, I'll accept it!"
"Admit it?"
Lin Jiangnian said: "But I'm in danger!"
Zhao Xi glanced at him and shook his head: "You are the Prince of Lin. Even if the assassination fails, he will never dare to do anything to you."
Lin Jiangnian was silent and sighed: "You really have a very well-thought-out plan, don't you?"
Zhao Xi naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Jiangnian's tone and added, "Don't worry, even if the plan fails, someone will rescue you."
"who?"
Zhao Xi didn't explain, "You'll know when the time comes."
"Why does it sound unreliable to me?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "What if I really die there? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
"You can't die."
"How can you guarantee that?"
Zhao Xi raised her beautiful eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I promise with my life, okay?"
"I'm already dead, what's the point of you guaranteeing your life?"
“…”
Zhao Xi's face flushed with anger: "So what do you want?"
"I raised this question legitimately, and didn't think anything of it."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Since I promised to help you kill him, I will naturally not go back on my word."
Zhao Xi's expression softened slightly as he said, "Don't worry. Even if the assassination attempt fails, you'll be absolutely fine... I guarantee on the Zhao family's reputation that nothing will happen to you."
Listening to Zhao Xi's assurance, Lin Jiangnian became more and more curious. Why was she so sure that he would be fine?
Were you prepared in advance?
Or...what?
"However, at the moment, it is still unknown how long His Majesty will remain in seclusion."
Lin Jiangnian added, "It's been a while since I came to the capital, but there has been no movement in the palace."
Zhao Xi thought for a moment: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be soon..."
"Um?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suddenly fallen ill. The situation at court is now dire. Without the Crown Prince as the backbone of the regent, the court is in jeopardy... Your Majesty, it is impossible that you are unaware of this."
"If he doesn't come out again, the situation in the court will probably change."
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhao Xi and saw something strange in her eyes.
"You must have known about this a long time ago, right?"
Zhao Xi's eyes flickered with something, and he looked at Lin Jiangnian and asked.
Lin Jiangnian was bewildered and shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Stop pretending!"
Zhao Xi snorted coldly, then remembered something. She looked Lin Jiangnian up and down with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly said, "You hit the Third Prince today, he won't let it go so easily."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes: "How do you know?"
Zhao Xi's expression was filled with pride: "Why shouldn't I know?"
Lin Jiangnian was silent, stared at Zhao Xi for a few seconds, and soon figured it out.
This Miss Zhao's intelligence and connections were probably even more formidable than he had imagined. No one outside knew about his attack on the Third Prince, and the Third Prince would never spread the news.
Then the only possibility is...
There is a traitor around the third prince!
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "Miss Zhao is truly an all-powerful person. I admire her greatly."
"snort!"
Zhao Xi rolled his eyes at him, ignoring his teasing, and asked, "Why did you dare to hit him?"
"Why not?"
"He is the Third Prince!"
Lin Jiangnian asked back, "The Third Prince can't be beaten?"
Zhao Xi thought about it, and it seemed that there was no reason why the Third Prince couldn't be attacked. This guy's status was no lower than that of the Third Prince. To others, attacking the Third Prince would be tantamount to treason. But when it came to the Crown Prince of Lin, it seemed quite reasonable.
"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Lin Jiangnian chuckled twice: "If I don't hit him, won't he retaliate less?"
Zhao Xi recalled the assassination attempt outside the city not long ago. The guy in front of him had barely escaped death.
The culprit behind this is, unsurprisingly, the third prince.
In addition, the murder of Zhou Huiguang this time was most likely caused by the third prince.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi nodded: "That's right. The Third Prince is used to doing whatever he wants in the capital. You beat him this time, and you really put a damper on his spirit. It's very satisfying!"
At this point, Zhao Xi glanced at him again, "However, you have to be careful. The Third Prince is narrow-minded. I'm afraid he will use any means to retaliate against you..."
Lin Jiangnian was naturally aware of this, but the Third Prince wanted to take revenge on him, and how could he not want to kill the Third Prince?
Lin Jiangnian naturally would not mention these to Miss Zhao in front of him.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Zhao."
"I don't care about you."
Zhao Xi curled her lips, "I'm just worried that if he accidentally kills you, there'll be no one to help me kill Chen Zhao."
As he spoke, he rolled up the map on the table and threw it to Lin Jiangnian: "Take this map and familiarize yourself with the topography of the palace first."
Lin Jiangnian glanced down at the map in his hand and shook his head gently: "No need, I've already memorized it."
"?"
Zhao Xi looked up at him suspiciously: "What did you say?"
"Did you write it down?"
"Um."
"What did you write down?"
"map."
"all?"
"Um."
“…”
silence.
"You don't have to pretend like that."
Zhao Xi looked at him expressionlessly and said unhappily.
Write it down?
Are you kidding me?
Her map records a lot of information about the palace, and there are countless detailed annotations. This guy just took a few glances at it and wrote it all down?
Why is he pretending to be an expert?
"Forget it if you don't believe me."
Lin Jiangnian didn't explain much. While Zhao Xi was explaining the plan, he had already memorized the roughly marked routes on the map. He couldn't say he'd missed anything, but he was pretty close.
The map was almost completely presented in his mind.
Of course, Miss Zhao in front of him didn't believe it, and Lin Jiangnian didn't intend to explain.
But his reaction only aroused the rebelliousness of Miss Zhao.
She quickly stepped forward, snatched the map from Lin Jiangnian's hand, and stared at him: "Are you sure you have memorized everything?"
"Just pretend I didn't remember it."
“…”
Zhao Xi gritted his teeth and flipped open the map in his hand. "Then let me ask you, when will the palace guards change shifts, and how will the personnel be arranged?"
Lin Jiangnian thought without hesitation: "The guards change every two hours during the day and every hour at night. The imperial guards are divided into groups of three. In addition, there are many secret sentries stationed at..."
"How many eunuchs and imperial guards are there in the Health Palace?"
"Seven eunuchs, including eighteen imperial guards..."
“…”
“…”
The more Zhao Xi asked, the more frightened he became. In the end, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Lin Jiangnian answered all the questions she asked fluently and almost word for word.
This made Zhao Xi stunned and doubt himself.
Her eyes stared at him as if she had seen a ghost, and she asked in disbelief, "How did you remember that?"
“I read it twice and I remembered it.”
"Only watched it twice?"
"Is it difficult?"
“…”
Is this sentence difficult? It completely silenced Zhao Xi.
I couldn't utter a word.
Let him finish installing it!
In addition to being astonished, Zhao Xi suddenly realized that the Prince of Lin in front of her seemed to be even more... surprising than she had imagined?
This guy actually has a photographic memory? !
How many secrets are hidden in him?
That woman Li Piaomiao actually despises this Prince Lin?
It's really blind and a waste of natural resources...
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Zhao Xi's face suddenly turned red, and a hint of shyness flashed across her eyes.
No, Zhao Xi, what are you thinking about?
This guy is the prince of Lin Wang and is engaged to that woman Li Piaomiao.
Even if there is no engagement, you can't...
Zhao Xi's face suddenly felt hot, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She felt ashamed of the thought that had just come to her mind. She quickly looked away, took a deep breath, rolled up the map in her hand and threw it back to Lin Jiangnian.
"You're quite capable, but you should take this map... If you have nothing else to do, go back first."
Zhao Xi waved his hand and started to chase people away.
Lin Jiangnian looked at Miss Zhao in front of him and saw that her face suddenly turned red for no apparent reason, which made him feel a little strange.
However, he didn't think much about it, picked up the map, and was about to turn around and say goodbye.
"etc!"
Zhao Xi suddenly called him again.
"Anything else?"
"Today's events..."
Zhao Xi seemed to have thought of something, and a blush appeared on her face. She said unhappily, "Since you promised to help me kill Chen Zhao, I will naturally keep my promise... Let's leave today's matter at that. However, you'd better forget everything you saw today!"
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I don't remember anything."
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him again, "That's better."
After hearing what she said, Lin Jiangnian remembered something: "One more thing..."
"What is it?"
Lin Jiangnian's gaze fell on Zhao Xi's delicate, fair face, which was slightly flushed, and he slowly lowered his gaze: "Miss Zhao, do you still remember what you said yesterday?"
"yesterday?"
Zhao Xi's eyes were confused, as if he was thinking about what he said yesterday.
Lin Jiangnian reminded him, "Yesterday, Miss Zhao said that if I help Miss Zhao kill Chen Zhao, Miss Zhao will...what was it?"
He didn't continue.
But when Zhao Xi thought about it carefully, he quickly remembered what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, it seemed like it was also here, what did she say?
As long as Lin Jiangnian helps her kill Chen Zhao, she will let him... touch her as much as he wants?!
In an instant, Zhao Xi's already flushed face flushed red. Her eyes widened, her face flushed, and she was extremely ashamed and angry: "You, you..."
"You lecher, you are vulgar..."
Lin Jiangnian was inexplicably scolded: "Didn't Miss Zhao agree to this yesterday? Why are you scolding me?!"
Zhao Xi: “…”
It seems to be true!
She took the initiative yesterday!
But, but...
Can yesterday be the same as today?
Ever since the guy in front of him accidentally saw her naked body, Zhao Xi felt as if a layer of membrane in her heart was pierced, and she began to feel inexplicably ashamed.
At this moment, recalling the memory of "seducing" this guy yesterday, he suddenly felt goose bumps all over his body and his face was burning hot.
I felt so ashamed that I didn't know where to put my face.
"Well, that was yesterday...you didn't agree yesterday either."
Zhao Xi gritted her teeth, her pretty face flushed as she glared at him, "Besides, the reason you agreed to kill Chen Zhao today has nothing to do with yesterday..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at her cheeks, which were flushed with shame and anger. He found it quite interesting that this woman who seemed to have remained calm all the time suddenly started to panic.
"So, Miss Zhao has changed her mind?"
Zhao Xi widened her eyes. She clearly didn't agree, so how could she regret it?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lin Jiangnian's half-smile, and he immediately understood something... This guy, did it on purpose?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi was furious. She gritted her teeth and immediately walked to the side of the soft couch in the room and sat down sideways. Her beautiful legs under her skirt were draped over the couch, revealing her slender feet wrapped in white embroidered stockings. She said unhappily, "Okay, since you want to touch it, then come over and touch it if you have the guts!"
“…”
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
He didn't expect that Miss Zhao was so easily disturbed.
He really wants to be strong all his life!
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes inadvertently fell on Zhao Xi's jade feet under her skirt. Although wrapped in silk stockings, they were still slender and delicate. Hidden under the skirt, they added a bit of hazy and seductive beauty.
After glancing a few times, Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze and turned to say goodbye.
When Zhao Xi saw this scene, a sense of pride surged in his heart.
Oh!
I knew he wouldn't dare.
Still want to bully her?
He's just a guy with the intention of stealing but not the courage!
At most, he could only verbally take advantage. If he really dared to do it, wouldn't he be afraid of the eldest princess finding out? You know, she and the eldest princess are best sisters. How could he dare...
Zhao Xi was thinking about it, and the smug look on his face didn't last long, when he saw Lin Jiangnian, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped and turned back.
"I suddenly remembered something... Miss Zhao graciously invited me to touch her. If I don't, wouldn't it seem a bit disrespectful to Miss Zhao?"
When Zhao Xi saw Lin Jiangnian reappear in front of her, she was obviously stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and was a little dazed.
Disrespect?
What the hell?
"Since that's the case, Miss Zhao has taken the initiative to invite me, so I would be disrespectful to refuse."
As Lin Jiangnian spoke, he quickly walked forward and sat down on the couch. He skillfully grabbed Zhao Xi's beautiful legs on the couch and placed them on his thighs.
One hand fixed it, and the other big hand covered the pair of straight, slender, round and delicate jade feet through the skirt and stockings.
Feel the delicate and smooth touch!
Zhao Xi was stunned!
I was completely stunned.
It seemed as if she had not expected that Lin Jiangnian would be so bold. When she came to her senses, Lin Jiangnian was already sitting next to her, with her legs resting on his thighs, and those "evil" hands were touching her unscrupulously through her skirt.
"Don't……"
When Zhao Xi felt the warmth of the big hands on her calves, she trembled violently, her whole body tensed up, as if she was strongly stimulated. She was extremely shy, and her cheeks were red as if blood was almost oozing out of them.
Extremely ashamed and angry.
My mind is blank.
He, he actually dared to touch...
"No, don't...don't..., you...stop it..."
"You, you... stop touching me..."
Zhao Xi's face flushed, she bit her lower lip tightly, her breathing was rapid, her eyes were seductive, and her voice trembled slightly.
At the end, there were faint trembling sounds of pleading.
“…”
