Feng Chenling’s fears were quickly relieved when Mo Qingli gave him an approving nod. His wife, it seemed, still cared for him.

Afterwards, he helped support the terrified Feng Qingjue back to the residence.

“I am called Feng Qingjue. May I inquire to what this gentleman’s name is?” Feng Qingjue held onto Feng Chenling’s elbow, looking at him with wide eyes.

“Feng Chenling!”

“Wow, your name is really pleasant to the ears. Going by this gentleman’s looks, you truly are an unforgettable beauty. The princess must really favor you, then!”

At hearing Feng Qingjue’s words, Feng Chenling’s face reddened slightly, raising his head to look beside him at Mo Qingli. Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he allowed himself to relax, joining Feng Qingjue in a round of light chuckles.

“Then, why don’t the two of us live together then?” Feng Qingjue’s face turned to Feng Chenling with an expression of hope. His two quick-witted eyes were opened impossibly big, his pupils starry, as if if Feng Chenling refused him, those two eyes would become filled with tears, the light extinguished.

Feng Chenling couldn’t help but acquiesce, wanting to protect this man from whatever “bad schemes” Mo Qingli wanted to subject to him.

“That’s wonderful!” Feng Qingjue’s hold on Feng Chenling’s elbow tightened again. His lips quirked upwards, inside his eyes flas.h.i.+ng the expression of someone who had just gotten their way.

Meanwhile, at the Fourth Princess’s residence.

“Beauty~~, hic!” Mo Qinghan let out a loud hiccup as she held onto a wine cup, her face flushed scarlet from wine. As she doddered down the hall, her unsteady feet failed her as she collapsed onto a couch. Raising her head, her eyes travelled around disorientedly until they focused on the p.r.o.ne from of Leng Hanling.

“Beauty…” Her mouth released the rank odor of wine as she spoke, her two hands reaching out to grab at Leng Hanling’s clothes.

Originally, Mo Qinghan had went to find Mu Tianlang to have her way. However, despite Mo Qinghan’s best efforts, she was unable to pry open the door to his room, which was why she had settled for the second best option, arriving here now to Leng Hanling’s room instead. Mo Qinghan had never heard Leng Hanling ever speak before, so she had a.s.sumed him to be a mute. Therefore, if she had to compare which one she liked better then, Mo Qinghan would naturally favor Mu Tianlang.

Feeling a sudden warmth on his waist, Leng Hanling snapped open his eyes. He was met with a pair of silky white hands within his robes. Turning his gaze upwards, he stared into Mo Qinghan’s intoxicated eyes, her mouth continuously saying: “Beauty, beauty.” Leng Hanling’s red pupils flashed with killing intent, although he was helpless to do anything with his magic ability sealed. Instead he could only push his body away, landing on the floor, coldly looking at Mo Qinghan.

Huh? Mo Qinghan suddenly realized that the s.p.a.ce beneath her arms were empty. Squinting her eyes, she realized that the beauty had disappeared. Looking around the surroundings, she noticed Leng Hanling was drinking tea on a nearby chair. Using her arms to support her as she clambered up, she drunkenly stumbled towards Leng Hanling’s direction. “Beauty, you, you escaped from me again! Hic…!” Mo Qinghan released another hiccup. “I can promise you riches and splendor you’ve never imagined.”

Leng Hanling glared at Mo Qinghan with an expression of loathing. All of these human women were all the same; once they caught sight of a man they would always try to throw themselves at them! Suddenly, Mo Qingli’s lovely indifferent face appeared in front of Leng Hanling’s vision. Except for her, she was not like any of those other silly human women!

“This daughter wishes to become betrothed to the Fengchao Prince.” Mo Qingli’s thin body kneeled on the hall floor, her gaze steady as she addressed the crowd.

Suddenly Leng Hanling seemed to awaken from a stupor. Hehe, human women were all the same, there wasn’t a single one that was different.

After all, didn’t she, at seeing another man, throw away everything just to marry him??
