Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 742 - 740

Chapter 742: Chapter 740

Xiao’er glared fiercely at Shangguan Xuanyi, but her blushing, embarrassed face made her look irresistibly adorable. Her glare held an infinite charm.

Shangguan Xuanyi somewhat wanted to kiss Xiao’er. The sight of her in this state stirred the urge within him to kiss her.

"Girl, what should I do? I want to kiss you!" Shangguan Xuanyi whispered so only the two of them could hear, and without waiting for Xiao’er to respond, he took her hand and led her into an alley, heading deeper into it.

When the bustling sounds of the street slowly faded away, Shangguan Xuanyi held Xiao’er and began to kiss her.

Xiao’er thought to herself, the Empress Dowager must be blind. She didn’t see who the real debauchee was!

Kissing Shangguan Xuanyi in public was something she only imagined this morning, and not long after, Shangguan Xuanyi had turned it into reality!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand, through her clothes, touched Xiao’er’s softness until they heard a voice.

"Your Highness, what are you trying to do? Let go of me!"

Xiao’er was startled and quickly ushered Shangguan Xuanyi to step back into the void.

Once they were in the void, neither of them continued, but looked out at the approaching person. The voice they had heard was somewhat familiar.

It was the voice of Du Yijin disguised as a man, Xiao’er had heard it last year and still remembered it clearly.

Shangguan Ruixi dragged Du Yijin to the exact spot where Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi were standing.

Xiao’er: Do the men of the Shangguan family love to choose this spot when they’re up to no good? The location is exactly the same!

"Have you accepted the marriage your father has arranged for you?"

"What’s it to you? Let go! It’s improper for men and women to touch!" Du Yijin tried to shake off Shangguan Ruixi’s grip, but couldn’t free herself.

"Don’t forget, we’ve already shared intimacy; the rule of no physical contact between men and women doesn’t apply to us! Besides, in this lifetime, apart from me, no one else can marry you!"

In the void, Xiao’er’s eyes widened upon hearing this: How did things progress between them so quickly!

Du Yijin’s face turned red at Shangguan Ruixi’s words. Suppressing her anger, she calmly replied, "Your Highness, that time I sucked out the venom from you with my mouth was out of necessity. How can you consider that to be intimate contact? Besides, if it hadn’t been you, I would have done the same for someone else...ah!"

A furious Shangguan Ruixi pushed Du Yijin hard against the brick wall, trapping her between himself and the wall, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Shangguan Ruixi kissed her, and Xiao’er eyes opened wide, trying to get a better view, when suddenly a warm hand covered her eyes!

"Damn it! Have you lost your humanity or something? You’re not even gonna let me watch this!" Clearly, this was the most thrilling scene, right?!

"Don’t stare at what isn’t proper!" Shangguan Xuanyi, with a darkened face, turned Xiao’er’s body around. "If you want to watch, I’ll show you!"

Xiao’er: "..."

Who wants to watch you! Xiao’er pulled his hand off and turned back around. This time Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t stop her.

Just then, Du Yijin bit Shangguan Ruixi’s lip hard. In pain, Shangguan Ruixi released Du Yijin.

Someone came into the alley and saw this scene, immediately turning and running away, scared.

Neither Shangguan Ruixi nor Du Yijin noticed.

With her back aching and her face red, Du Yijin angrily said, "Your Highness, have you gone mad!"

Don’t tell me she wasn’t close to driving him insane!

"Didn’t you say that you sucking out the snake venom was out of necessity and doesn’t count as intimate contact? We are now intimately close, and apart from me, no one else is allowed to marry you in this lifetime!" Shangguan Ruixi roared back at Du Yijin with equal fury.

What does she mean she would do the same for any other man! If there really was such a man, he would chop him into eighteen pieces and feed him to the dogs!

He wouldn’t give Du Yijin the chance to save any other man.

The thought of him working hard towards their wedding, while she instantly agreed to someone else’s proposal, nearly drove him insane!

Early today, he went to the Ministry of Justice to find Du Zhongkai. Unexpectedly, he heard Du Zhongkai telling his colleagues, "Du Yijin has agreed to the marriage arrangement!"

The thrilled official even added, "Tonight after leaving the government office, I’ll have my wife write a letter back to Tongzhou, asking her sister’s son to bring the betrothal gifts. We should settle the marriage matters between both families soon."

Upon hearing this, a sulking Shangguan Ruixi appeared in front of the two men, stating, "This marriage arrangement cannot happen!"

After throwing down these words, he left the Ministry of Justice in haste to find Du Yijin.

He left the two men completely baffled.

He refused to believe that she didn’t understand his feelings. She agreed to this arranged marriage so quickly, she must be trying to avoid him! Even going as far as to marry into a family as far away as Tongzhou!

Shangguan Ruixi found the Du Mansion empty, fortunately since the incident of Gu Honggen harassing Du Yijin, he had assigned people to protect her secretly. After making inquiries, he found out she was currently selling walnuts in disguise as a man.

Shangguan Ruixi headed straight there without caring about the public, and in front of the whole street, he dragged Du Yijin away.

Looking at the indignant and animated expression on Shangguan Ruixi’s face, Du Yijin was on the verge of insanity. This humiliation made her feel wronged and tears formed in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then said in as calm a voice as possible, "Your Highness, I would rather become a nun than be a concubine!"

"I didn’t ask you to become a concubine."

Hearing that, Du Yijin’s expression froze, "I won’t be a mistress either!"

After hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi realized she had misunderstood, his tone softened, "Not a concubine, not a mistress, but a Crown Princess!"

"..." Du Yijin was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

"I’ll find someone to propose marriage quickly; you have to wait for me!"

Du Yijin: "?!?!"

What is going on? Could the snake venom still be affecting his mind?

"You didn’t lose your mind due to the poison, did you?"

"Pfff!" Xiao’er burst into laughter in the space.

Shangguan Ruixi was furious, gritting his teeth and saying, "I’m serious!"

"He definitely has gone mad!" Du Yijin wasn’t feeling wronged anymore, after being kissed by a madman, there was nothing to be upset about!

"Your Highness, where are your servants? I’ll let them take you home! You can’t be running around in your condition!"

"Haha..." Xiao’er was practically doubled over with laughter.

Even Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t resist laughing.

Shangguan Ruixi felt an unprecedented wave of anger, "I’m serious! I’m not mad!"

"Every fool refuses to admit they’re a fool!" Du Yijin muttered, and then said cautiously, "Alright, alright, alright, I got it! Let me take you home, ok?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi was so angry he almost passed out! If he married this woman, he was certain he would die a few years earlier!

She was absolutely infuriating!

"Du Yijin, I’m not mad, my mind is very clear! Wait for me to send someone to propose!" Shangguan Ruixi shouted his intentions.

Did this woman have her head jammed in a door?!

"But if you’re not mad, why would you want to marry me as the Crown Princess? My family’s status is not high, and my reputation..." Du Yijin was cut off by Shangguan Ruixi before she finished, "I know all of this, you don’t need to say, you don’t need to worry, I’ll solve everything. All you need to do is wait to be married to me!"

Xiao’er: "So cool!"

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."
