The mask made a light silver light in the snow and flew far away, as bright as the snowy night of the day . The face of the man in black was visible .

Before Yu Linglong could see his face clearly, two thin hot lips suddenly fell to the center of her eyebrows, blocking her sharp eyes .

Her forehead seemed to be burned with a piece of hot coal, and the snowflakes on her forehead were gradually melting . Yu Linglong felt an instant shock, followed by a strange burning sensation .

The answer was so close to herself, so real . She was held in his arms, but she couldn’t see his face clearly .

She struggled desperately, but she couldn’t get rid of his iron hoop-like solid chest . She was beating, kicking, pinching, biting, using 18 kinds of martial arts, but she couldn’t push him away .

She was breathing rapidly, ruined .

Just when she was extremely annoyed, a dark and low voice sounded in her ear: “Is it really that important to you who I am?”

The big hand pressed her against his chest, and the man’s voice was full of magnetism with helplessness as if he was coaxing an innocent child .

Yu Linglong stopped her movements . Her smooth forehead was forced to press against his chest . Her voice was stubborn and unyielding: “If you don’t have any tricks in your heart, why don’t you let me know who you are!?”

He didn’t answer her but was silent, but the strength in his hands was not loose, and he imprisoned her in his arms domineeringly .

In the overwhelming snow, the two figures of him and her became a solidified posture, and they did not move for a long time .

For him, he would not move; for her, she could not move .

The warm body temperature gradually spread in his arms, and even through the heavy clothes, the heat was pa.s.sed in layer by layer, and the warmth made her feel itchy and tempted to be greedy .

Yu Linglong didn’t dare to relax at all . She waited fully guarded, watching his movements all the time, but after a long time, he was motionless like a statue, wondering what she was thinking .

It was silent for a long time . Her slender body was always tight, stubbornly refusing to give in . He must give her an answer .

After a long time, she heard a long sigh that seemed to be compromised: “Follow me . ”

The flying cloak wrapped her tightly . Before Yu Linglong could make a protest, her body rose off the ground and leaped into the heavy snow with him .

Yu Linglong’s head and face were covered in a black cloak, and she could not see anything in the darkness before her eyes . She could only lie motionless in his arms, locked in the unique cold smell of his body .

If it weren’t for this scent, she might not have thought it would be him…

She didn’t know where he was going to take her, she could only feel the body being taken up and down by him . It was obvious that he was performing light work and leaping in the air . After a period of time, she finally felt that his feet were slowing down and they were coming down .

There were several sounds of closing and locking a door in her ears . Soon, she was placed on a couch . Her head was loosened, and the cloak had slipped off her face .

The room was pitch black and she couldn’t see her fingers . In the darkness, she only heard his rustling voice, and she didn’t know what he was doing .

Just as Yu Linglong was about to speak, she saw a small cl.u.s.ter of flames ignite .

The man took out some matches and lit the candle .

Yu Linglong’s gaze immediately fell on his face . The silk palace lantern exuded a dim light, but it was enough to outline the handsome side of his face .

Yu Linglong snorted: “It’s really you . ”

Lord Xu looked at her, no longer wearing the usual awe-inspiring white clothes . His face was calm as never before, and two golden flames danced in a pair of azure ink eyes, looking at her thoughtfully .

“You knew it was me?”

Yu Linglong turned away, not wanting to answer this question . She couldn’t say that it was because of his unique mint fragrance that she guessed it was him, right? If he knew the reason, he might turn into that sticky candy that couldn’t be beaten and scolded away .

She looked around and saw that it was a small room with all the tables, chairs, and beds available . It was very clean and concise . There were no extra furnis.h.i.+ngs . Thick black curtains were hung on all four walls, making it quiet and private .

“Where is this?” Yu Linglong frowned and looked at him .

No matter what this guy’s status was, he shouldn’t live in such a small and clean place . It didn’t look like the Xu Palace in any way .

Lord Xu replied indifferently: “Another courtyard . ”

Yu Linglong turned her head . A pair of autumn-water and star-like eyes looked at him, and she finally asked, “Who are you?”

The corners of his angular lips showed a faint smile, and he said: “Naturally, I am Yu Lieyang . ”

Yu Linglong was speechless . Even though she guessed that the man in black was him, she still had countless questions in her mind, and she couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t find the answer .

For example, why did he always look like a little prince, squandering and doing whatever he wanted? Why would someone follow him and watch his every move? Why was he once again a mysterious man dressed in black, strong in martial arts, cold and wise, full of murderous air?

Who was he? What was he hiding? And what role did she play in his plan?

As if perceiving her probing gaze, Lord Xu slowly sat in front of her and said in a deep voice, “It’s safe here . Just ask what you want to know . ”

Thousands of questions rushed to her lips, but she asked an irrelevant question: “…Why did you let me know?”

With his skill, he could knock her unconscious when she lifted his mask, or use light work to leave . No matter which method was used, he could continue to hide his ident.i.ty in front of her without worrying about his secrets being exposed .

It seemed that she didn’t expect that she would ask this question . Lord Xu looked at her and suddenly showed a sloppy smile and said: “Even if I don’t tell you, with your cleverness, you would guess it sooner or later . ”

Yu Linglong said coldly: “Aren’t you afraid I will tell others?”

He tried every possible means to conceal his ident.i.ty . He didn’t hesitate to turn himself into a worthless man, and even lose his reputation . It must be for an extremely important reason, but why did he let her know?

He said lightly: “I trust you . ”

The three words stopped her provocative questioning, but a strange warmth surged in her heart .

She bowed her head and stroked the cus.h.i.+on under her body, groping for the dense needlework of Su embroidery with her white fingertips, with a strange feeling . This courtyard should be his secret stronghold . He was willing to bring her here and let her touch a part of his secrets, which showed a great trust for her .

In front of people, he wore a white robe, pretending to be crazy and silly . In the night, he was dressed in black, cruel, and he could only put down his mask and be himself here, sitting alone with her .

He was so familiar, yet so strange . She was familiar with the fragrance on his body, with his barely perceptible smile, and more familiar with his cold tone and his overbearing voice, but were those the real him?

The light of the palace lanterns was faint but warm, and the faint brilliance surged between them . Even if they were silent and opposite each other, they also revealed inexplicable peace and harmony .

This strange feeling shocked her, and she shrank back subconsciously . Her moist eyes disappeared from the movement that had just flashed, and she became extremely indifferent again .

“Yu Lieyang, what do you want to do?”

From the moment she lifted his mask, she knew that once she knew his true ident.i.ty, she would completely fall into this huge vortex and could never get out of it .

But can she escape without knowing his ident.i.ty?

She tried her best to leave, but things happened one after another, each of which was like a fragment full of magnetism, which held her firmly in the past, unable to break free .

This power was too great . Although she only touched the edge of the whirlpool, she still couldn’t escape, and she could only sink deeply involuntarily .

Since you can’t hide, it’s better to face it head-on; maybe you will find a way out .

At this moment, she looked at Lord Xu coldly, trying to get some clues from him . If there was more information, maybe she would not be as pa.s.sive as she was now .

Lord Xu thought for a moment, and said, “I don’t have much time to explain to you . Just remember that you cannot marry Gan Lin . ”

Hearing what he said, Yu Linglong was furious that he didn’t tell her anything but only asked her to do what he asked . Why did Yu Lieyang direct her to treat her as an unconscious puppet, just playing with her?

Her charming little face was raised stubbornly, and she said coldly: “Why?”

If he didn’t give her reason, he didn’t want her to obediently listen to his instructions!

Under the candlelight, Lord Xu’s handsome face had a faint light, and his magnetic voice was full of calmness and confidence .

“Because you can only marry me . ”

Yu Linglong was taken aback . She thought he would reject her coldly, or give her a suitable reason, but she didn’t expect to hear such a possessive declaration .

Her beautiful face was instantly covered with a layer of frost . Yu Linglong’s pretty face sank, and she said angrily: “Marry you? Are you dreaming!”

It didn’t seem that he was surprised by her fierce reaction . Lord Xu smiled, raised his big hands, and gently held her ears, gathering her slightly fluffy baby hairs .

The gentle and intimate actions were accompanied by his domineering and quiet words: “As long as I want to, you can’t escape . ”

Yu Linglong smiled with anger, thinking of his deliberate publicity on the Ghost Festival . Her pink lips opened slightly, and she said sarcastically: “You designed each step, just to get me? What good can I do, is it worth such a great expense?”

Did he think she was a three-year-old child who was easy to trick? She was not a girl who was ignorant, who had been fooled by him with a few words of rhetoric!

In this cla.s.sy ancient society, he was the distinguished Royal Highness Lord Xu, and she was the humble commoner’s daughter from the fourth-rank general . Why did he cause so much trouble to get her? Don’t use love as an excuse . In her eyes, love was bulls.h.i.+t!

Hearing her sharp questioning, the big hand that was squeezing her temples suddenly stopped . In a moment, it suddenly stretched out and lifted her delicate chin .

He forced her to greet his eyes . He had an uncontrollable rage in his deep ink eyes, and said fiercely: “Didn’t you say that you want to marry Gan Lin because of the power of Gan Mansion? Why, is my status not as good as the Gan family’s? In your heart, am I not as good as a nasty kid!?”

Yu Linglong turned her face fiercely and got rid of his restraint . Her pink lips spit out words like ice: “Who do you think you are!? In my eyes, you are nothing! You won’t let me marry, so I must marry—”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

Before she finished her words, her soft waist had been swept up by him, and a cold and domineering voice blasted like thunder in her ears—

“Yu Linglong, you can only be mine!”

The hot lips fell behind her ears and in her long hair, so dense as raindrops . With a strong breath, it seemed to declare her belonging .

Yu Linglong was caught off guard, and she subconsciously pushed him, but it was like pus.h.i.+ng an extremely hard wall . She exhausted all her strength but it was still useless . Seeing his plundering move from behind her ears to her cheeks, it was about to attack her petal-like corners of her lips in a blink of an eye . She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Stop! I won’t marry!”
