Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 717 - 715

Chapter 717: 715

Shangguan Xuanyi’s face turned completely dark.

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Xiao’er pushed him away and quickly disappeared into the space.

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."

Xiao’er, standing in the space, couldn’t help but pat her chest: that scared the hell out of me.

Shangguan Xuanyi waited for a while, but seeing Xiao’er didn’t want to come out, he sighed: She has too many tricks up her sleeve, even disciplining her is not possible.

Hiding into her space? Let it be her way of self-punishment. She can’t possibly spend her entire life in that space.

Then he walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book, and sat down on the imperial consort chair to read.

Xiao’er watched from her space as Shangguan Xuanyi sat there reading.

She rolled her eyes, always needing to coax him back. She couldn’t stay in her space forever.

She’d escape into her space whenever he was angry, and keep doing so until he calmed down and promised not to be angry anymore.

With that in mind, Xiao’er went into the study, picked up the brush, paper and inkstone, and began writing energetically.

After a while, she finished her letter of apology. Then, she rubbed her arms to get rid of the goosebumps. She felt so embarrassed by her own self.

Xiao’er threw the confession letter out of her space and waited for a certain someone to be blown away.

A paper drifted down from thin air to Shangguan Xuanyi. He raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked to pick up the paper. Then he walked back to the chair and began to read.

The first thing he saw were the big characters spelling "letter of apology". He almost laughed. An apology letter? What the hell was in this girl’s mind? He couldn’t keep the corner of his mouth from curving upward as he continued to read:

My dear, don’t be angry. I knew what Princess Ling’er was up to when I bet with her. I did it because I love you too much. I get annoyed seeing Princess Ling’er trying to get your attention, and I wanted to teach her a lesson! I don’t want her to eye my man.

You know me, I always make sure I have complete control before I act, and this time is no exception.

My dear husband, just watch how I’m going to torment Princess Ling’er so she will never dare to have designs on my man! Don’t be angry, anger makes you grow old, and then you won’t be good enough for my beautiful face! Kisses my treasure," she concluded with a seductive red lip mark.

And kisses to my treasure! Shangguan Xuanyi laughed.

Yet, Shangguan Xuanyi was clearly pleased by Xiao’er’s declarations of "I really love you too much" and "my man", a deep affection flashing in his eyes.

Xiao’er waited for a while, thinking that even if a certain someone was filled with rage, it would be extinguished by her deeply affectionate apology letter!

Then, Xiao’er came out of the space.

"Are you still mad, Brother Shangguan?" As soon as she came out of the space, Xiao’er’s face showed remorse and she asked tentatively.

Xiao’er’s eyes never left Shangguan Xuanyi’s movement. He should not be angry anymore! But she wondered if the ancient man’s heart is strong enough to accept such a heartfelt apology letter.

Nonetheless, Xiao’er was on full alert, prepared to hide in her space the moment Shangguan Xuanyi showed any signs of anger.

Shangguan Xuanyi stood up straight from the imperial consort chair, put the apology letter into the space, then looked up, about to speak...

Xiao’er, thinking he was about to reproach her again, quickly disappeared back into her space.

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."

He looked around and grumbled, "Come out, I promise I won’t smack your butt!"

Shangguan Xuanyi was genuinely left without a trace of anger by Xiao’er’s series of actions.

Xiao’er in the space: "..."

This sentence sounds so familiar, why would it mean the reverse to her?

Let’s wait a little longer.

"Come out now! If you don’t come out, I’ll really be angry!" After waiting for a while, Xiao’er still didn’t come out, Shangguan Xuanyi said, looking at the spot where Xiao’er just disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er came out of the space and quickly clarified, "You said you won’t spank me, and you won’t be mad."

She’s this old and still getting spanked. Where would she put her face? Does he really think she’s a little kid that needs educating? This habit has to change, otherwise, when they have kids, and the kids see it, where would her dignity be?

May I just say: girl, your thoughts are way too over!

"Come here." Shangguan Xuanyi neither admitted nor denied.

Xiao’er took a few steps forward, stopped at a safe distance that she estimated, and just stood there.

Shangguan Xuanyi was exasperated. He looked at her helplessly and said, "Come here! No more anger, I always keep my promises!"

Shangguan Xuanyi imitated Xiao’er’s words.

While it was indeed true, Xiao’er didn’t believe him this time. She just stood there, then started to act offended: "Brother Shangguan, you keep attracting bees and butterflies, bringing me loads of enemies. I have to deal with one after the other, I’m nearly driven mad by all the flies around you. It’s all your fault! If you weren’t so excellent, so attracting, I wouldn’t have to bet with others! And you know I only agree to a bet when I’m 100% sure I will win!"

Shangguan Xuanyi was both amused and exasperated hearing this, so this was his fault now.

"It’s not about fearing everything, it’s about fearing the unexpected! You’re not allowed to use me as a bet again!"

"Okay! I absolutely won’t do it again! Even if I’m betting on myself, I won’t bet on you!" Xiao’er hastily promised!

"You dare!" Shangguan Xuanyi glared at her upon hearing this!

"So I can’t even bet on myself? You’re being overbearing!"

"No, you can’t! Don’t forget, I’m your man, you naturally belong to me!"

Xiao’er was dissatisfied: "Since you’re my man, why can’t I gamble with you?"

"So you still think betting is right?" How can he not? Does this even require questioning anyway!

Xiao’er murmured very softly, "Only fools wouldn’t bet if they’re 100% sure of winning!""

"Huh?" Shangguan Xuanyi pointed at her butt.

"I was joking, just joking!"

"You’re not allowed to hide in your space when I’m angry from now on!"

Hearing those words, Xiao’er was unhappy. She’s not stupid, why wouldn’t she hide, and she needs to hide even faster. But she couldn’t speak her mind, so she said, "I understand."

She understood, but that didn’t mean she would comply.

Shangguan Xuanyi could clearly see what she was scheming in her mind, but he didn’t say anything.

With this lesson, if she could still escape into the space next time, then his name should be written in reverse.

"Are you not coming here yet!"

Xiao’er quickly ran over, practically jumped onto him like a goat, sitting on his lap, cupped his face and kissed him: "I knew my husband cannot bear to be really angry with me."

It was a good thing Shangguan Xuanyi reacted quickly, steadying his body. Otherwise, they both would have toppled over.

Shangguan Xuanyi circled one arm around her waist and the other supporting her bottom, holding Xiao’er tightly, he stood up and walked towards the bed: "Little girl, now I know how to make you listen to me."

Shangguan Xuanyi placed Xiao’er gently on the soft bed, and then he quickly leaned over, pressing her underneath him.

"Stop! I know I was wrong, there won’t be a next time!" Startled, Xiao’er quickly begged for mercy, covering his mouth. They still have the zoo to visit!
