Chapter 35: The Days of Oppression
For the next three days, Hua Xiang Rong pitifully wore only a camisole and a pair of shorts, sitting in the carriage for that demonic prince to admire, unable to escape his line of sight no matter how she moved.
Every time the maids and servants came in to deliver food and water, Hua Xiang Rong would always hide behind Xiao Yue Han, tightly grabbing onto his clothes to cover herself, lest she be exposed. Xiao Yue Han seemed to enjoy teasing her, not only did he not call for someone to bring her clothes, but also didn't take her threats seriously anymore.
Finally, Hua Xiangrong reluctantly told him a few of the most special tactics from the Thirty-six Stratagems, and only then did she manage to get a set of clothes in exchange.
But those clothes... were actually her pajamas, another one of her nightgowns.
After putting on that dress, Hua Rong thought to herself, how did she not know when Xiao Yuehan started liking the way she looked in her pajamas with messy hair?
Didn't he carefully observe her at the Jin Wang Fu a while ago? But she really didn't feel it.
However, she now has a certain admiration for him. The other day at the Wang Fu, when they were rolling around on the bed, she discovered that he was the type of person who is both cunning and lustful, with an extraordinary amount of energy. But now, in this small space of the carriage, which is lined with thick and soft cushions and has excellent soundproofing, she is sitting across from him wearing very little, yet he hasn't made any moves on her.
In fact, on the way they occasionally stopped at some inns to rest for a while, and then they took turns finding opportunities to take baths. She thought she was fragrant and had not gained extra fat or wrinkles, and she was still that beautiful flower-like face that made people breathless, with a slender and charming figure.
How can this man control himself now...…
She wasn't a pervert, but she couldn't help but think about it a little more, and occasionally she would sneak a very careful glance at a certain part of Xiao Yuehan.
Every time she glanced over, she would directly hear a light cough from Xiao Yuehan's side, and hurriedly turned her head to pretend to sleep with a red face.
Five days...
She was locked in the carriage for five whole days, suffering from spiritual torment and intimidation by that evil man every day.
By the fifth night, she had reluctantly told him thirty of the Thirty-six Stratagems, but still reserved a few for future use.
Then she finally heard some good news, tomorrow at noon, they would arrive in the imperial capital.
Just as Hua Xiang Rong was excited and couldn't sleep, on one hand happy that she no longer had to face Xiao Yue Han all the time, and on the other hand thrilled that she would soon see the legendary imperial palace, suddenly a cold and handsome face zoomed in before her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Hua Xiang looked at Xiao Yuehan's evil and charming smile in shock, actually saying really, just these few days, she found that Xiao Yuehan was no longer cold and icy, he seemed to have found a way to deal with her... and threaten her!
However, Xiao Yuehan just looked at her dazed expression, smiled coldly, and pressed her head to let her lie down and sleep.
She really couldn't understand what was going on with this moody man, and she was actually afraid of him to the point where she became like this. Where did that fearless girl go? How could it be that in just five days, she changed from a proud peacock into a defeated rooster?
If she had a choice, she would rather he be the kind of cold and hard man who absolutely wouldn't show those eerie smiles, at least that kind of man's heart is easier to guess.
Xiao Yuehan's heart... She really couldn't see...
She just knew he was very dangerous and absolutely couldn't fall in love with him, absolutely!
