Suddenly, Ye Jiu was practically fuming, "You really are too much, do you think it's fun to mess with me?"
"I was wrong." Without a moment's hesitation, Sikong Mo's apology slipped out.
Sikong Mo, a dignified Prince, apologizing so readily made Ye Jiu wonder if she was being a bit too capricious.
However, capricious or not, she wouldn't admit it.
"Aren't you attending the royal matchmaking banquet tonight? You still have time to find me, you must be really free." Ye Jiu spoke, her tone clearly tinged with accusation.
Sikong Mo chuckled, "Jiujiu has learned to be jealous too, it truly comforts me." Over the years, it seemed his efforts were not in vain.
"Who's jealous? I'm just congratulating the War King, being single for so many years, finally having the chance to..."
The rest of the words, Ye Jiu didn't have the chance to speak, because they were already firmly blocked back in her mouth.
With wide eyes, Ye Jiu was completely stunned.
Her... her first kiss, saved for two lifetimes, was just gone like that?
Finally, when she almost couldn't breathe, Sikong Mo slowly released her.
At this moment, Sikong Mo had countless things to say, countless actions he wanted to take, but after thinking it over, for the safety of both himself and Jiujiu, he decided to behave. If he ended up locked in a small dark room, the loss would be huge!
"Jiujiu, listen well today, whether you were Ye Jiu of the past or Qin Jiu of now, I, Sikong Mo, will only marry you, understand?"
"Then tonight's palace feast..." Ye Jiu was still worried.
Sikong Mo chuckled, "Since I was underage, the palace has sent maidservants knowledgeable about such matters, and just after I came of age, I was granted marriage several times. Jiujiu, if I were the kind of person easily manipulated, we wouldn't have had our encounters and time together later."
Finally, Ye Jiu beamed with joy, but she couldn't help but tease, "I heard from my father that Grandpa Emperor is really determined this time, he definitely wants to appoint a Princess Consort for you."
"Isn't that just perfect!" Sikong Mo's magnetic voice was particularly enticing, "I have been waiting for years, and now, the time is just right."
Sikong Mo's eyes were filled with laughter, causing Ye Jiu to blush and turn away, "You're dreaming if you think I've agreed to be your Princess Consort."
"So Jiujiu will bear to watch, and let me be a bachelor for life?" Sikong Mo stepped forward two steps.
At this time, Ye Jiu had already forgotten that before meeting Sikong Mo, she was still angry, angry that he hadn't contacted her for so long, that she had to hear the news from Prince Jing.
Love truly is something that brings joy and sorrow, and it can make a smart person instantly lose their wits.
Ye Jiu never believed such a fact before, even now, despite the obvious evidence, she didn't realize that her intelligence in front of Sikong Mo had long turned to zero.
Aside from that initial kiss, their interactions, though sweet, were kept within the bounds of propriety and decorum.
In this era where etiquette and norms are held in high esteem, for Ye Jiu's sake, Sikong Mo wouldn't make any excessive moves, and although Ye Jiu came from the modern age, she also understood the theory that a girl shouldn't be too forward. For more chapters visıt 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
Originally, Ye Jiu planned to use the Face-changing Technique to sneak into the palace banquet with Sikong Mo, but Sikong Mo didn't agree, instead telling her to wait for his news.
