Chapter 477 - Who Was Whose Shield? (1/2)

“You want to murder me?” Chu Liuchen said slowly and eerily as his lips were close to Shao Wanru’s cheek and licked her white and tender cheek.

Shao Wanru now looked normal and her eyes were shining again. She glared at Chu Liuchen, gasping, “No!” She just wanted to get away with his control but what she did later was totally out of subconsciousness.

Seeing the hatred vanish in Shao Wanru’s eyes, Chu Liuchen took a cold glance at her and also laid beside her and snorted. “I know you don’t dare!”

Reaching out, he half cuddled Shao Wanru and said, “Tell me about Qi Tianyu. I don’t allow your affair with Qi Tianyu to screw up my plan!”

Shao Wanru closed her eyes and felt a little dizzy. As she still felt the back of her head was throbbing, she then rubbed lightly her head subconsciously.

“I have nothing to do with him. You saw what happened in Jiangzhou. He attempted to plot against me with Qin Yuru together! Given that, how would I have an affair with him?”

Shao Wanru gradually calmed down and explained.

A large hand put on the back of her head and was rubbing softly. “It is said that when you were still in Qin’s Mansion, you two mansions even attempted to get united by marriage. So I suppose it should be Qi Tianyu and you, right?” said he.

Shao Wanru now felt a little comfortable because of Chu Liuchen’s vigorous massage on her head. “Yes.” Shao Wanru answered as she was particularly clear that it was impossible to hide this matter from the public, especially Chu Liuchen.

“However, Qin’s Mansion and Qi’s Mansion had a bad relation because of that event, but how would Qin Huaiyong let you engage to Qi Tianyu?” Chu Liuchen’s voice sounded much gentler and softer. Although Shao Wanru didn’t open her eyes, she knew he now was placid.

She smiled bitterly inwardly. This prince’s race of changing mood was much faster than that of turning a page.

“Well, during that time, General Qin has always been in favor of Qi Tianyu. I suppose he might consider Qi Tianyu as a perfect son-in-law so he has always liked him. However, it was just his thought and I have told Madam Shui that I was unwilling to marry him,” Shao Wanru said.

Since she had promised Chu Liuchen to be his shield, she would not screw up his plan.

As for the reason why Chu Liuchen asked her about this, she now felt it was reasonable. After all, they were on the same side now. Moreover, Empress Dowager had agreed with them, so if some bad rumors about her were spread, Chu Liuchen would be the one who had to suffer from this. No wonder he would be so angry just now.

“Anyway, nobody can determine my marriage!” To assure Chu Liuchen, Shao Wanru added and tried to show that she would not drag him down.

Actually, Shao Wanru thought she should appreciate Chu Liuchen as Duke Xing’s Mansion was unable to decide her marriage as they wanted since she now was Chu Liuchen’s shield.

Even if Madam of Duke Xing had other plans or tried to make her marry others, she now could not decide Shao Wanru’s marriage.

Since Empress Dowager had known the relationship between Chu Liuchen and Shao Wanru and also had agreed with this matter, Emperor should also know this matter. Moreover, with her grandmother’s support, Duke Xing’s Mansion was unable to decide her future with her marriage.

This made Shao Wanru relieved. Without this, she didn’t have to behave passively anymore.

Given this, it could also say that Chu Liuchen was her shield!

“It will be good if you have nothing to do with him. I heard that Master Qi is very nostalgic. Even though he was wronged and was dumped by Qin Yuru, the current wife of the heir of Duke Yong, he has never spoken ill of her in the public.”

Chu Liuchen said leisurely as he took a glance at Shao Wanru who frowned and closed her eyes.

“A fish for fame!” Shao Wanru snorted without hiding her disdain for Qi Tianyu. She curled her cherry mouth in a sarcastic way.

Chu Liuchen was satisfied with her response and kept rubbing the back of Shao Wanru’s head. He rubbed vigorously but also very softly. “A fish for fame? The First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion is very suitable for this title!”

“This is no easy task to deal with Shao Yanru! You have to be very careful!” Thinking about Shao Yanru, Shao Wanru still decided to warn Chu Liuchen. In her last life, Shao Yanru had entered the imperial harem and become the Emperor’s beloved concubine. This matter would definitely be directly relevant to Chu Liuchen. However, she couldn’t figure out why Shao Yanru would enter the palace and become the Emperor’s beloved concubine. Given her disposition, what she wanted most should be the title of princess of one of those princes or, in other words, the Empress in the future.

“When Empress held the consort selection banquet, this First Miss Shao even claimed that she was seriously ill. It was said that they even invited the imperial physician to treat her. All said that she was seriously ill. They even said that it was because she had abandoned herself to learning painting in Yuhui Nunnery without taking a rest that she got ill!”

Seeing Shao Wanru’s eyebrows relaxed a little bit, Chu Liuchen then reached out his hand and cuddled her in his arms, putting her head on his arms.

Shao Wanru tried to push him away but failed because his strength was great. No matter how she tried, Chu Liuchen didn’t move at all but, in turn, Shao Wanru got very tired and even sweaty because of this. Moreover, the back of her head which got better just now got painful again. Thus, she gave up and just laid there.

She didn’t expect that this man who looked so weak that he might get hurt when being touched would be so strong.

“Who is chosen by Shao Yanru?” Shao Wanru asked casually when she kept closing her eyes. She now finally gave up struggling and didn’t dare to shake her head as she feared that she might get painful somewhere.
