Han Yunxi didn't know what to say to Long Fei Ye.
It didn't seem likely that the ruler of a nation would apologize to a woman! But it had happened, and it had happened to her.
Emperor Kang Cheng definitely wouldn't let them leave just like that, nor would he be stupid enough to apologize to Duanmu Baiye. Thus, the emperor would personally urge them to stay, and the only way to do so would be to apologize. Otherwise, how could he persuade them to stay?
Happy?
Han Yunxi had been happy for a long time. Now that she understood that Long Fei Ye was enduring for Duanmu Baiye's sake and not for Duanmu Yao's sake, she wasn't sad anymore.
Her heart wasn't that weak. If she could ruthlessly trap Duanmu Baiye and cut down the Chu Clan's pillar of support, then endure his eloquence, then it was worth it.
Of course, she had to ask about Duanmu Yao before Emperor Kang Cheng caught up to them. It was fine if she didn't know before, but now that she did, she felt uncomfortable hiding it.
In this aspect, she admitted that she was a petty person who haggled over every detail!
"Long Fei Ye, did you come to White City seven or eight years ago?"
Han Yunxi didn't ask directly, but the insensitive Long Feiye had learned his lesson after eating a special sour pastry. He knew what Han Yunxi wanted to ask as soon as he heard her words.
"Western Zhou is the only way to leave Celestial Mountain and return to Tianning. At that time, I came with Duanmu Yao to pay my respects to Emperor Kang Cheng. I didn't make a special trip to send her back, "Long Fei Ye explained clearly.
However, women wouldn't be satisfied no matter how clearly he explained. Either she didn't ask, or she'd ask a lot of questions.
"So Emperor Kang Cheng took a fancy to you back then? He wanted you to be his son-in-law? "Han Yunxi teased.
Long Fei Ye's unchanging iceberg face was clearly a bit embarrassed. This was the first time someone had dared to ask him such a question so directly. He looked out the window and made a low sound of agreement.
"Why didn't you agree back then? The power behind Duanmu Yao's back is something that my Han family can never catch up to. "Han Yunxi said sourly on purpose.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye glanced over and asked, "How do you know that this prince didn't agree?"
Han Yunxi froze …
Long Fei Ye sized her up with a sidelong glance. After a while, he said, "You're the Poison Sect's daughter of the first wife. This prince won't lose out by marrying you."
Han Yunxi was annoyed. "You!"
Long Fei Ye didn't explain. He just stared at her. Han Yunxi wanted to tease Long Fei Ye, but he teased her instead.
Han Yunxi couldn't continue this topic, so she changed the subject. "How long did Duanmu Yao stay with you at Celestial Mountain? How did you two become childhood sweethearts? "
This time, Long Fei Ye answered seriously. "That year, Master announced that he was accepting disciples. In order to win over Tianshan Mountain's factions, each country's royal family sent their princes and princesses to participate in the competition. Out of a hundred or so children, Master chose me and her. After we joined Master's sect, we stayed on Tianshan Mountain for half a year before returning to our respective countries. We only went there once in a while to learn the way of the sword. We didn't run into each other often, and only ran into each other once or twice by coincidence. "
The truth was that Duanmu Yao had clung to Long Fei Ye the first time she saw him. After returning to her country, she tried every means possible to find out when Long Fei Ye would return to Tianshan Mountain. She created a series of coincidences so that she could cultivate together with Long Fei Ye.
After those two coincidences, Long Fei Ye deliberately avoided her. Unless he had no other choice, he would wait until Duanmu Yao returned from her cultivation every year before going up Tianshan Mountain.
"So after running into each other once or twice by coincidence, the two of you cultivated together? She … chased after you all day long? "Han Yunxi was jealous again.
Women were so narrow-minded!
When a man fell in love with a woman, he couldn't wait for her to be the only woman in his life. He couldn't wait for her to be the only woman in his memories.
Before Long Fei Ye could answer, Han Yunxi said, "Long Fei Ye, tell me … why didn't I meet you earlier?"
Long Fei Ye looked at her and unconsciously brushed her bangs. "I … wanted to too!"
If he had met this woman earlier, would he have been less lonely these past 20 years?
The two of them looked at each other. There was no need for further explanation.
Long Fei Ye slowly inched closer. Just as he was about to kiss her lips, Han Yunxi snapped out of her daze and pushed him away. "I'm not done yet!"
Long Fei Ye smiled bitterly. Even he hadn't imagined that he would indulge a woman like this one day.
"Your master likes Duanmu Yao a lot, right?" Han Yunxi's question hit the nail on the head.
Long Fei Ye nodded, then quickly added, "Very."
"Then why did he only let you protect her until she turned 18? Why not just protect her for the rest of her life?" Han Yunxi asked gloomily.
A complicated look flitted across Long Fei Ye's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said, "When we go to Celestial Mountain next year, perhaps you can ask him."
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. That answer was as good as not answering at all!
"Does your master know that she likes you?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Long Fei Ye felt uncomfortable again. He pulled Han Yunxi into his arms and said domineeringly, "Just remember that this prince doesn't like her. Why care about others?"
"So your master knows about it?"
Han Yunxi raised her head to look at him. Long Fei Ye pressed her head back into his arms. "This prince only likes you."
Han Yunxi slapped his hand away and asked again, "If your master knows that she likes you, does that mean …"
However, before she could finish, Long Fei Ye's lips pressed against hers, domineeringly devouring all of her words.
"Mmm … mmm …"
Han Yunxi kissed him a few times, but she couldn't move him at all. She had to admit that this was the first time she was being bullied by Long Fei Ye that she was able to maintain her sanity.
She couldn't push him away, so she gritted her teeth and refused. However, Long Fei Ye was very naughty, his large hands restlessly covering her body.
Although this wasn't the first time, Han Yunxi was still shocked.
While she was caught off guard, Long Fei Ye easily pried inside and attacked her. Soon, Long Fei Ye's lips and hands bullied her so much that she couldn't think straight. Her entire body went limp in his arms.
If Emperor Kang Cheng's carriage hadn't arrived, Long Fei Ye probably wouldn't have been able to think straight either.
A plain-clothed guard rode a horse to stop their carriage. Soon after, Emperor Kang Cheng's carriage approached.
The guard whispered by the window, "Your Highness Duke of Qin, my master would like to invite you to Taoran Inn for a cup of tea. Would you do me the honor?"
Long Fei Ye knew what was going on. He let go of Han Yunxi and casually wiped the corner of his mouth.
Han Yunxi lay on his lap and looked up at him. She suddenly discovered that the way he wiped the corner of his mouth was especially naughty. However, she also liked it.
Her eyes darted around as she snickered wickedly. As soon as Long Feiye lifted a corner of the curtains, she tugged at his robe belt.
Long Fei Ye, who was always calm and composed, suddenly stiffened. It was so obvious that Han Yunxi noticed it.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage next to them also lifted, revealing a dignified face. It was none other than Emperor Kang Cheng, who had just left the palace in plain clothes.
He looked at Long Fei Ye and nodded at Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye still had some self-control. He ignored Han Yunxi and expressionlessly nodded back at Emperor Kang Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi reached under his clothes and easily passed through his undershirt. Her jade-like fingers gently stroked his firm chest muscles.
Long Fei Ye's entire body quivered, but he forced himself to hold on. Seeing this, Han Yunxi's playfulness grew. Her small hand gently stroked his sensitive spot, whether intentionally or not.
Long Fei Ye finally couldn't hold on any longer. He immediately lowered the curtain, leaving the guards and Emperor Kang Cheng outside at a loss.
What did the Duke of Qin mean by this? Was he going to Taoran Inn or not?
If he wasn't going, why did he show up and greet them? If he was going, why did he lower the curtain without saying a word?
They really couldn't figure it out! If they knew that the Duke of Qin was being teased by a woman, and in such a brazen manner at that, they'd probably be shocked for three days and three nights!
Inside the carriage, Long Fei Ye had Han Yunxi under his body and was on the verge of taking her on the spot.
He leaned close to her ear and warned in a low voice, "If you keep being naughty, this prince won't be polite!"
He was so close that Han Yunxi could clearly feel the heat beneath his body. She didn't think she'd be nervous, but now she was scared to death.
Her body was stretched taut, and she didn't dare to move. After all, they were in a carriage!
"Outside … the people outside are still waiting," she reminded him timidly.
"You know that as well?" Long Fei Ye asked coldly.
"I don't dare anymore …" Han Yunxi closed her eyes. His gaze was so terrifying that it looked like he wanted to eat her alive.
Long Fei Ye exhaled heavily before sitting up again. He lifted the curtain again and saw that his carriage hadn't left yet, so they were all waiting outside.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, shall we go?" the guard said hastily.
"Lead the way," Long Fei Ye said coldly, his face cold as well. He quickly lowered the curtain again.
The guard was even more baffled. This was his first time seeing Tianning's Duke of Qin, and he'd heard that he was a cold-faced Yama. Now that he'd seen him in person, he really was cold and unfeeling.
But besides that, there seemed to be something else … the guard couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt like he'd disturbed the Duke of Qin's business and made him unhappy.
Of course, he didn't dare tell Emperor Kang Cheng. Emperor Kang Cheng didn't think too much about it either. The Duke of Qin agreeing to go to Taoran Restaurant was within his expectations, but he wasn't sure what would happen once they got there.
Currently, Duanmu Baiye was sitting in Emperor Kang Cheng's carriage as well. His head was bowed, and he didn't even dare to fart. Fortunately, General Chu had reminded him in time to book the entire Taoran Restaurant and ask for imperial father's forgiveness. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Although imperial father hadn't said anything, the fact that he'd invited the Duke of Qin to Taoran Restaurant meant that Duanmu Baiye still had a chance.
Duanmu Baiye only hoped that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi wouldn't go too far at Taoran Restaurant.
By now, Han Yunxi had already sat up, her head bowed like a child who'd made a mistake. She sat far away from Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye took another deep breath. How could his lust be quelled so easily? Unfortunately, he still had a taboo on him and couldn't bear to part with her.
This was his first time experiencing the feeling of both love and hate for a woman.
Cold eyes stared at her, and in the end …
