Chapter 51: The Lonely King is Very Disappointed in You

  “Ow…” Hua Xiang Rong sat up, rubbing the large bump on her forehead, glaring at Xiao Yue Han's back of his head with a mixture of sadness and anger. She gritted her teeth, but had to swallow the words she wanted to scold him with, instead forcing herself to produce two ladylike tears, and began to sob pitifully.

  Xiao Yuehan sighed and turned his head to glance at her lightly: "Wipe away your tears."

  "Huh?" Hua Xiang Rong was taken aback, hastily wiping away her tears with her hand. Then she knelt behind him, looking at him with a wronged expression: "You're willing to listen to me? I thought you were going to ignore me from now on."

  Xiao Yuehan merely hooked up his thin lips, coldly smiled, looking at her pouting face: "When will Fuer and Yuniang's acting also reach this point, I estimate their good days are over."

  "What's wrong?" Hua Xiang Rong looked at him with a puzzled expression, her eyes fixed on the cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think I'm acting? Can't you see that I'm being sincere? Prince..." Hua Xiang Rong suddenly became somewhat agitated and flung herself forward, tightly embracing Xiao Yue Han's shoulders: "Do you think that I couldn't possibly truly like you, love you, or genuinely care about your feelings towards me?"

  Listen, such enchanting words...

  "Is that so?" Xiao Yuehan's eyes gradually gathered a cold intent, and he raised his hand to gently brush away the jade arm that Hua Xiangrong had wrapped around his chest. "Do you love Emperor Gu?" he asked with a cold smile.

  Hua Xiang Rong was taken aback for a moment, then lifted her eyes and met his gaze.

  As she looked into Xiao Yuehan's eyes that seemed to see right through everything, Hua Xiangrong gritted her teeth: "Love!"

  She didn't think that her casual words would make the mocking and disdainful glint in Xiao Yuehan's eyes grow thicker. She was about to continue her long-winded speech when she suddenly felt a tight grip on her wrist, Xiao Yuehan grasping it and gently pulling her into his arms, leaning down to smile: "How much do you love?"

  She saw the disbelief in his eyes, and also understood the implication of his words that required her to put on a show, but she knew even more clearly that if she took a wrong step now, all her previous efforts would be for nothing.

  "What do you want me to do to make you believe?"

  Xiao Yuehan smiled wickedly again, bent down and sealed her tender red lips with a kiss, rolling and kissing, his eyes only had desire, no emotions.

  Hua Xiang Rong suddenly felt that it was good, a man like him couldn't fit another woman in his heart, let alone love. She had repeated this so many times, but still hadn't gotten his heart, especially when facing the ridicule and sarcasm he directed not only at her, but also at the carefree spirit within her, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

  She didn't think she was smart, but rather felt a bit silly because she had actually fallen for him, although only a little, and not to the point of being unable to extricate herself. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but mock herself, knowing full well that he could never love her back, yet she still insisted on putting herself at a disadvantage.

  But as Xiao Yuehan said, her sharpness was exposed, which was the murderer who harmed herself. He could not tolerate her cleverness, nor could he tolerate her dangerous existence. After all, she was the daughter of Hua Jian Ting, a time bomb and a pawn of two forces.

  That night was another entwining of the two people after more than a month, only this time with a sense of determination. It wasn't until she fell asleep from exhaustion that everything finally came to an end.

  ……

  The noise outside grew louder, Huaxiang Rong turned over, opened her eyes to find that it was already daylight. She turned her head, only to discover that Xiao Yuehan was still asleep. She lifted the curtain and looked out, they had already entered Jiangyuan City, seemingly about to arrive at Jinwang Fu. Suddenly, she thought of that place in Lüzhong Village, and abruptly turned back, looking towards the man who was still fast asleep.

  Only at this time, just like the day she had just crossed over, a man as handsome as a god, with his eyes closed, made her feel an overwhelming urge, and when he opened his eyes, they were definitely a pair of eyes that could absorb all things in heaven and earth.

  Is it only when she gradually understood that the only harmless Shao Yuehan was when he slept, without any mask on his face?

  Hua Xiang Rong looked at him again, thinking about what he said last night. Once they returned to the Jin Wang Fu, he might not even bother to see her, after all, her weak "I love you" had already exposed all her lies.

  The flower thought to lower her eyes and saw the white jade dragon plate on his hem, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yuehan who was still sleeping, her heart tightened, stretched out her hand to remove it, and broke her only slightly moved thoughts.

  But as soon as her hand touched the cold jade pendant, Huaxiang Rong only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and was tightly grasped by someone.

  Xiao Yuehan slowly sat up, looking at the dazed Hui Rou who was staring back at him, and coldly smiled. He shook off her hand, adjusted his disheveled clothes, and icily threw down a sentence before getting out of the carriage.

  "The Lone King, I'm very disappointed in you." He said so.
