Chapter 927: Chapter 927: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate Turn Bad (4)

Deep into the night, Mo Yan, lying in bed, was sleeping peacefully when suddenly she felt something as light as a feather brushing against her face. Half-asleep, she thought it was an annoying mosquito and waved her hand over her face, her beautiful brows slightly furrowing, clearly bothered by the "harassment".

A soft chuckle sounded like thunder in her ears, instantly chasing away all of Mo Yan’s sleepiness. She jerked her eyes open and sat up abruptly, only to hit her forehead against something hard, seeing stars and nearly biting her tongue.

"Ouch—" Xiao Ruiyuan inhaled sharply, rubbing the dizzy spot on his head, a bitter smile on his face: "Yanyan, are you attempting to murder your husband?"

He had looked at his sweetly sleeping fiancée and couldn’t resist kissing her cheek. He hadn’t expected such a hard blow in return—it was too quick a retaliation.

Groggy, Mo Yan looked at Xiao Ruiyuan in confusion for three seconds before she realized what she had done. She might have felt a little guilty, but after hearing the accuser play the victim, she held her forehead and resentfully said, "Who’s pretending to be someone’s husband? Did I acknowledge it?"

Xiao Ruiyuan was left speechless by the question, taking advantage to sit on the bed and gently kissing her forehead, cheek, and tip of her nose, before his thin lips finally landed on her soft pink lips, lingering for a long time until the girl turned red in the face and could hardly breathe, he whispered, "If he’s not your husband, would you let him do this to you, hmm?"

Mo Yan glared at the man who was taking advantage of the situation.

By the time the two of them finally managed to sit down properly for a chat, more than half an hour had passed...

With swollen lips, Mo Yan felt that even speaking was torture. She glared fiercely at the man who looked utterly self-satisfied, but inside she felt a deep sense of powerlessness: This man was getting worse by the day—no, he was not human anymore, damn it, he was like a wolf starved for hundreds of years!

Xiao Ruiyuan had no idea of the litany of complaints in his beloved girl’s heart. Seeing her deliberately sitting far away, he was filled with regret. He had reminded himself to keep things light and not to scare her, but he could never resist asking for more.

This guilty look, seen by Mo Yan, instantly seemed like an act. Irritated, she asked, "What are you doing here? Is there anything that can’t be said in a letter?" She really wanted to send him thousands of miles away right now.

Seeing her take the initiative to speak, Xiao Ruiyuan felt like he had been granted special amnesty. He walked over to her in large strides under her cautious gaze, took her hand tightly in his, and looking straight into her eyes, he said, "I just wanted to see you."

Under such intense gaze, Mo Yan was instantly charmed, almost blurting out the silly words, "I actually want to see you too."

But even without speaking, her eyes revealed everything. Xiao Ruiyuan struggled to resist the resurging evil thought, his mouth dry and forcing a change of subject, "What’s the deal with the Cui family?"

Mo Yan, not catching the heavy hint of jealousy, casually said, "It’s just as it is. Luckily, the Imperial Edict for the betrothal came just in time, otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known how to deal with it."

Thinking about Madame An, who tried to meddle despite knowing of her own engagement, she felt that if the engagement wasn’t to a powerful man like Xiao Ruiyuan, the Cui family might have tried every method to ruin the betrothal if there were no Imperial Edict.

A shadow crossed Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes as he casually said, "In the future, if any of these messy people come calling, kick them out directly."

Mo Yan scoffed, "Who would be so bold as to break up a marriage decreed by The Emperor?" Such a thing would never happen again.

Indeed!

Xiao Ruiyuan was satisfied, feeling that the Imperial Edict finally served a purpose. But thinking about the letter he received earlier, where the girl spoke with such pride about the proposal from the Cui family, his mood soured, and he scowled, facing her squarely, "You are already a betrothed woman; you must not think of other men."

Mo Yan tried to hold back a laugh, said provocatively, "That depends on your behavior. If you are not good to me, why shouldn’t I think of someone else? Besides, we are not officially married yet, The Emperor still owes me a promise. If one day you dare to wrong me, this marriage can be annulled at any time... mmph..."

Xiao Ruiyuan kissed the woman fiercely on the lips, cutting off her impending words. He was afraid he might lose control and strangle this nonsensical little woman. Perhaps he lacked the gentleness other men showed to their wives, but to spend his life with her, he was willing to give everything, never to betray.

Mo Yan, her head spinning from the kiss, felt a burning pain on her lips and inwardly regretted provoking someone who could explode at any moment—after all, she was the one who would suffer.
