Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 174 Whatever you want

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Whatever you want

Han Zhan did not make another move.

The courtyard of Chu Buqu, inside and out, was filled with Chu Qianli’s people.

Wounded, she entered the room, and outside the door stood more than a dozen experts on guard.

They’d been caught off guard before, but now, whoever came would not be treated with courtesy again.

Seeing the situation clearly, the Duchess and Chu Hongtao could only take their people and leave.

The rest had their own varying thoughts and went back to their respective places.

For the moment, all was quiet.

Everything would wait until the Duke woke up to be dealt with.

On the way back, Han Zhan was preoccupied with heavy thoughts.

After excusing herself from her parents, Chu Huaiyu immediately came to knock on Han Zhan’s door.

"It was the Fifth Sister who started it, you were just saving me just now, Han Zhan, you did nothing wrong, don’t blame yourself."

Han Zhan turned his head and glanced at her.

Chu Huaiyu had just closed the door and was walking toward him.

Han Zhan looked at the shut door and felt inexplicably complex in his heart.

Hearing her refer to Chu Qianli as "Fifth Sister," he didn’t know why, but he felt somewhat resistant to it.

"Han Zhan, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Huaiyu approached him, batting her innocent, watery large eyes, "Are you... angry with me?"

"No." Why should he be angry for no good reason? "It’s just that hearing you call her Fifth Sister... doesn’t feel... quite right."

Chu Huaiyu approached him.

Han Zhan soon realized that the distance between them seemed a bit too close.

He instinctively wanted to back away.

Chu Huaiyu suddenly rushed forward and embraced him tightly.

"Huaiyu!" Han Zhan’s tall frame stiffened slightly, wanting to push her away.

"Do you not like me anymore?" Chu Huaiyu’s eyes harbored a thin layer of mist.

Looking up at him, the moisture in her eyes held a pity-inducing luster.

"I know, lately Father and Aunt Qin have been talking, they want me to marry into the Prince Residence, I know you’re angry, aren’t you?"

Han Zhan was stunned, looked at her, and somehow was at a loss for words.

It seemed he had not thought about that.

Ever since that night, his first thought was that she must have been forced by the Imperial Family to sign the divorce paper.

As if by some demon’s whim, the first person he went to see was also Chu Qianli.

As for Chu Huaiyu... he seemed to have really overlooked her.

Chu Huaiyu immediately felt his distraction.

Han Zhan used to not be like this, but now, his heart was no longer fully hers.

Chu Huaiyu felt very uneasy, noticing that Han Zhan seemed to be growing more distant from her.

"Han Zhan, don’t be like this." She hugged him even tighter.

"Even if I marry into the Prince Residence, the person I like... I... the person I still like is..."

She bit her lip, suddenly let go of Han Zhan, and unexpectedly began to undo the buttons at the neckline of her dress.

Her snowy neck was immediately exposed.

She continued to pull at her clothing, revealing her round shoulders in front of Han Zhan.

"Huaiyu, what are you doing?"

Han Zhan immediately turned his face, averting his gaze.

"Huaiyu, put your clothes back on quickly."

He and Chu Huaiyu have always been very close, ever since she inadvertently saved his life when they were very young, he has always treasured her.

Whether it was a debt of gratitude or affection, he had promised himself to treat her well for the rest of his life.

But their interactions had always been driven by emotion and bound by propriety, never engaging in any improper behavior.

Her hugging him earlier was already very inappropriate.

Now, in the dead of night, alone together in a room, she was undressing before him.

This was completely beyond Han Zhan’s capacity to accept.

"Huaiyu, put your clothes back on, I’ll take you back to rest."

He hurried to the door, but with Chu Huaiyu looking the way she did now, he really couldn’t bring himself to open it.

If someone saw, there would be no explaining it!

"Han Zhan, do you really not like me anymore?"

Chu Huaiyu not only didn’t put her clothes back on properly, but she even pulled down her upper garment.

Her slender body was immediately exposed to the air.

A breeze from who knows where blew across her skin, chilling her to the bone.

She couldn’t help shivering.

"Han Zhan, I’m so cold, can you hold me?"

"Huaiyu, don’t be like this, get dressed quickly!" Han Zhan still dared not turn around.

Nor dared he take another glance.

"Have you really fallen out of love with me? Do you like my fifth sister now?"

Han Zhan, at first, didn’t register who she meant by her fifth sister.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered.

She was talking about Chu Qianli.

But the title "fifth sister" truly sounded strange.

He was stunned for a moment, and what flashed through his mind was Chu Qianli’s smile that was not quite a smile.

Upon thinking about it, his feelings were indescribably complex.

"Han Zhan?" Chu Huaiyu was astonished – he was actually daydreaming!

There she was in his bedroom, her upper body bare, irresistibly attractive!

And he didn’t know where his mind was, it wasn’t focused on her.

The more this happened, the more anxious Chu Huaiyu became.

She couldn’t help but take a few steps towards him.

Han Zhan, although he did not turn to look, knew the state she was in.

The door couldn’t be opened, but if things went on like this, eventually someone would discover them, and it would ruin her reputation!

"Huaiyu, listen to me, you’re going to marry into the Prince’s Residence soon, you can’t..."

"I know, I am soon to be the Prince’s, but my heart has always been with you."

"Han Zhan, why won’t you look at me? Have you really fallen for my fifth sister?"

"No!" Han Zhan immediately denied it, "How could I possibly like that woman?"

That woman, wild and overbearing, unreasonable, impolite, always had that perplexingly ambiguous smile hanging on her lips.

As if she was always mocking him!

How could he possibly like her?

Never!

Chu Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps closer to him: "If it’s not that you like the fifth sister, then you must be angry with me."

As long as his heart had not changed, that was alright.

She approached Han Zhan’s side, clutched at his sleeve with a voice as tender as a breeze:

"Han Zhan, my marriage to the Prince is against my will. But given the Prince’s powerful status, I must marry for the Duke Residence’s sake."

These words made Han Zhan feel strangely unsettled in his heart.

Was the Prince forcing her to marry him?

He had not followed them into the palace and didn’t know what had transpired there.

But it was strange of the Prince, sick as he was, to come looking for Chu Qianli, yet insisting on Chu Huaiyu marrying him.

"Han Zhan, I know you are unhappy, but I truly have no choice. I don’t know how to compensate you."

"I don’t need compensation." Han Zhan was actually not angry, which even surprised himself.

But he really wasn’t.

At least he was clear about that in his heart.

"Huaiyu, you have been kind to me, as long as you are happy, I am happy, truly."

"No, Han Zhan, you don’t need to say those things, I know you’re still angry."

Chu Huaiyu reached for his arm, pressing her bare body against his.

"I will soon marry the Prince, and my body... must be saved for him. But if you... if you desire, I... I can be with you..."

She bit her lip, blushing and trembling, "As long as you do not deflower me, you can do whatever you like."
