Chu Jinling grew exasperated with her constant pestering and couldn’t recall how many times he had pushed her away. “Xiao Ruxue, I’m warning you. If you come again, I won’t be polite!”
He waved in frustration. “Get her out!”
Despite the bookstore staff persistently ushering people away, Xiao Ruxue stuck like glue. Her gaze remained firm. “Cousin, even if you break my legs, I’ll still come back. My love for you is unwavering!”
She wouldn’t relinquish her position as the Ninth Prince’s consort!
This was a noble status and a great wealth. She would never let Lin Sisi snatch it away, and she would not let the other daughters of the Xiao family snatch it away first!
When Chu Jinling was pestering Chu Yihan to play, he felt that he was shameless enough. She didn’t expect Xiao Ruxue, a woman, to be so shameless.
He seriously considered breaking her legs.
“Sisi, if you keep hiding , there will come a day when the Ninth Prince won’t be able to protect you. Your marriage might fall to the Xiao family. Are you willing?” Su Yingxue cautioned Lin Sisi.
Lin Sisi trembled. “Will… will it?”
“It will. Noble Consort Xiao bowed temporarily due to the Ninth Prince’s scratching her face and threatening her. She doesn’t like you in the first place. In the long run, even if the emperor doesn’t care, she will still let the Ninth Prince marry the daughter of the Xiao family. Xiao Ruxue’s persistence might eventually trouble the Ninth Prince.”
She made things sound more serious.
She understood Chu Jinling’s stubborn nature, a trait of the Chu Imperial family. He was very loyal to his feelings.
In this lifetime, he would only love Lin Sisi.
Yet for both to reach the end, it couldn’t rely solely on one’s efforts. Lin Sisi needed to step out of this shadow.
Lin Sisi bit her lip, her heart tightening.
The inferiority complex in her heart was still shrouding her like a shadow. Xiao Ruxue pounced on Chu Jinling again. She hugged Chu Jinling and snuggled up to him. “Cousin, you’re a prince. You’re so outstanding, but you’ve been living here for a woman. Ruxue feels wronged for you. When you’re tired of it, Ruxue will come to pick you up personally and serve you well.”
As she spoke, her smile, reminiscent of a blossoming flower, held a hint of shyness. Two red blushes adorned her face, rendering her exquisitely beautiful.
Chu Jinling inadvertently glanced at her jade-like chest and quickly blushed, moving away. “You… Stay away from me!”
He pushed Xiao Ruxue away, his fair complexion flushed red.
Su Yingxue couldn’t bear to watch any longer and wanted to intervene to help him. However, she knew that if she did, Lin Sisi would forever remain hidden above and never come down.
Lin Sisi gripped the red jade whip tightly in her hand, her lips bitten until they bled.
Xiao Ruxue adjusted the clothes covering her chest. When she attempted to approach Chu Jinling again, Lin Sisi couldn’t contain herself any longer. She leaped downstairs and shouted furiously at Xiao Ruxue, “You shameless person! Didn’t you hear what Jinling said? Get out!”
Xiao Ruxue shrieked in fear. “Ah!”
When she saw Lin Sisi’s face clearly, she immediately revealed a mocking expression and covered her mouth as she chuckled. “1 was wondering which shrew it was. So, it’s the disfigured Miss Lin! Your veil is crooked. The scar on your face is so ugly!”
Xiao Ruxue held her chest, her face full of shock.
When she said that, the onlookers all focused their attention on Lin Sisi’s face..
