Chapter 647 - Quarrel (2/2)

“You...this prince traveled without stopping day and night in order to see you sooner. I didn’t do this to fight with you. Calm down a bit!” Although Zhu Junyang was quite angry inside, he couldn’t bear to say a harsh word to the little la.s.s in front of him. What was he to do with her?

“Do you think I wanted to fight with you too? You’re the one being too tyrannical, trying to force me into a life I don't want to live! You also know that I’m the type of person who has my own ideas and I love having freedom and independence. I don’t like it when people try to control me. You should have known all of this before you proposed marriage to me. I thought that you liked me for who I am, my entire self, and that you didn’t want to change me! If things go the way you described, then why don’t you just marry any n.o.ble young miss in the capital? That’s the type of life that they long for!”

Yu Xiaocao thought of how much she had missed this stupid fellow in front of her for the past year. In fact, she even spent a lot of time and effort making a table full of delicious foods for him, yet all she got in return was his grim and icy looking face. Instantly, the feeling of being wronged rose in her heart.

Zhu Junyang felt his heart fall when he saw the tears form in the little la.s.s’s eyes. He hastily said, “You misunderstood this prince. This prince doesn’t want to control you. I just feel bad seeing you work so hard for the court’s matters while also managing all of your businesses. I’m afraid that you’ll become too tired, so I wanted to give you a comfortable and relaxing environment. If you don’t like it, then this prince won’t force you to become an idle young matron in the inner courtyard. In the future, you can do whatever you like, as long as you keep yourself safe and don’t tire yourself out. Is that okay ah?”

“You were the one who didn’t say it clearly, which made me misunderstand you. It’s all your fault!! Furthermore, you glared at me in such a hateful manner while yelling at me. You need to apologize for that!!” Apparently it was because the man in front of her cared too much about her and wanted her to be well rested. Why couldn't he say it clearly earlier? Yu Xiaocao blinked away the tears in her eyes as she pouted her little mouth. It was clear that she was stubbornly holding onto her position.

Zhu Junyang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and helped the little la.s.s wipe away the tears on his face. He sighed again and said, “Alright, alright, alright! It was all my fault! In the future, this prince won’t glare at you ever again, okay ah? However, in the future, please don't say anything about breaking off the wedding. It felt like someone was stabbing a knife into my heart when I heard those words. Right now I’m still hurting!”

There wasn’t one person who was stronger in relations.h.i.+p issues between men and women. The outwardly heroic Royal Prince Yang easily acquiesced and bent his head down in front of his little la.s.s, as if it were no big deal. As long as his little la.s.s wasn’t sad anymore and would smile again, it was worth it.

“I’ll help you rub it a bit so it won’t hurt anymore!” The person in front of her had apologized sincerely. In addition, she also had some fault in the manner, so Yu Xiaocao felt a bit embarra.s.sed now. She stretched out a little hand and began to ma.s.sage Zhu Junyang’s chest. It didn’t look like she was trying to relieve a hurt. Instead, it looked more like she was taking advantage of him.

A few times, that little hand rubbed him in such a way that made him feel sensitive. Zhu Junyang simultaneously enjoyed her ministrations while being tortured by them. Finally, he restrained her naughty little hand. If he continued to allow her to stoke his fire, he wasn’t sure he’d be able to endure any longer without ravaging the little la.s.s. He needed to wait a little longer; there was less than half a year left for him! The little la.s.s didn’t have any adult women around to remind her at the moment so he needed to make sure he respected her. He needed to wait for the most important step of their relations.h.i.+p and do it on their wedding night. It would be an unforgettable experience.

“Is it bad that you didn’t come back with the army?” Yu Xiaocao quietly leaned against Zhu Junyang’s chest as she listened to the sound of his beating heart. She felt incredibly calm and secure at this moment.

“It’s not a big deal. Only Inspector Su knows about me coming back early. Before I entered the capital, I made sure to disguise myself, so no one saw me. Tonight, this prince will secretly go back to where the army is. There’s no need to worry. This prince isn’t someone who does things rashly!” Zhu Junyang had made sure to make all of the proper arrangements in order to see his la.s.s earlier. It had taken quite a bit of effort for him.

Yu Xiaocao nodded her head and then worriedly asked, “If Sir Su knows, doesn’t that mean that the emperor will know too? Will the emperor use this as an excuse to make trouble for you?”

“Don’t think too much ah! At the worst, the prince could get rid of all of the duties that I was given. I’ll just go back to what I was before, an idle and leisurely royal prince. However, at that time, this prince will have a much lower income stream, so Wife, you’ll have to make sure I don't go hungry!” Zhu Junyang had absolutely no interest in keeping and obtaining political power. The only reason why he worked so hard right now was to improve his status and become a better s.h.i.+eld for his little la.s.s. That way, he could prevent all harm from reaching her.

Furthermore, from his understanding of the emperor’s personality, the situation would never get to the point that the la.s.s worried about it. The la.s.s was only being wary of shadows because she was concerned about him.

Yu Xiaocao forcefully nodded her head and said, “Alright! I’ll raise you ah!! All you have to do is keep yourself forever young and beautiful, and I’ll be in charge of the money in the household. Hee hee...it suddenly feels like I’m raising a little kept man at home!”

“What sort of nonsense are you spouting now? This prince was only horsing around. I don’t think my circ.u.mstances are that bad, alright? Do you really think this prince is someone who would happily live off my wife?” Zhu Junyang had a helpless expression on his face as he gently pinched the la.s.s’s cheek to ‘punish’ her.
