After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"What?" Shen Zhaixing stood up suddenly, spilling the wine all over him. "No way, I just said so much, but you didn't listen to a word I said? I said he has evil intentions, and I want to use him even though I know he has evil intentions?"

Gu Jingheng said calmly, "Take him with you when you go outside the city to provide disaster relief. The farther you go, the better. It's best if you don't return to the capital during this period."

Hearing this, Shen Zhaixing seemed to understand something. He sat down and looked at Gu Jingheng with interest: "Oh, I understand. Sending your love rival away will give you a chance, right?"

Gu Jingheng did not explain and acquiesced. Anyway, the so-called engagement documents had been suppressed by him a long time ago. Now that Xie Luochen was transferred out of the city, the matter would be almost settled.

"Also, give Xie Luochen a strong dose of medicine and don't let him do anything wrong during the engagement period." Gu Jingheng didn't believe that there would be any man in this world who was not lustful, especially when facing Nan Yuan, no mistakes were allowed.

Shen Zhaixing nodded, picked up the wine glass, and smiled meaningfully: "Leave it to me."

After Nan Yuan had packed up and was debating whether to go to the appointment, Xie Luochen arrived.

"Miss, Madam asked you to go meet Master Xie." Seeing that her young lady was still in a daze, Yue Ran spoke again to remind her.

Nan Yuan just came back to her senses and said, "Let's go."

Xie Luochen brought Nan Yuan good news: "Cousin, I delivered the document to Master Shen according to the recipe you gave. Master Shen was very happy and sent someone to tell me to follow him to the outside of the city to provide disaster relief."

"Then congratulations, cousin." Nan Yuan smiled faintly.

She knew that Xie Luochen had been busy with this matter these days, and now it was finally effective, and she was extremely relieved.

Besides, the Xie family and the Nan family are now in a relationship where they prosper together and suffer together. If Xie Luochen can really make some achievements this time, it will be a good thing for both the Xie family and the Nan family.

Xie Luochen looked at Nan Yuan with complicated eyes. He knew that his success this time was mostly due to Nan Yuan. Otherwise, there were many affairs in the city, so why did she transfer him out of the city?

But no matter what, it's better to be busy than to sit at home doing nothing.

“It’s just…” Xie Luochen hesitated to speak. Thinking about how he had just gotten engaged to Nan Yuan and was now about to leave the capital and be separated from Nan Yuan, he felt a little hesitant.

He has just been appointed. If he lets Nan Yuan and the prince get along now, Nan Yuan's heart may become distracted, and he will lose both his money and his life!

"What's wrong, cousin?" Nan Yuan didn't know that Xie Luochen had planned so much. She just felt that he seemed to have something to say to her, but it seemed difficult for him to open his mouth.

"It's just that you and I have just got engaged. Logically, I should stay with you for a few more days and take good care of you. But at this critical juncture, I was sent out of the city. I'm afraid of my uncle and aunt..." After Xie Luochen finished speaking, he looked at Nan Yuan nervously, observing her expression.

Nan Yuan frowned slightly, obviously not expecting Xie Luochen to think of this.

Nan Yuan smiled and said, "We still have a lot of time in the future, not just this moment. Cousin, your current mission is to go and do your job. I will talk to my parents. They are also reasonable people and will definitely understand you."

Hearing Nan Yuan say this, Xie Luochen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "I have nothing to do today. Why don't I take you around today?"

Hearing this, Nan Yuan was stunned, but she had already made an appointment with Gu Jingheng today, saying that she would make everything clear today.

Seeing the embarrassment on Nan Yuan's face, Xie Luochen understood something, but he pretended not to see it and continued, "I told my aunt in advance, and she also said that you have been bored at home these days, so it's a good opportunity for you to go out with me."

Having said that, Nan Yuan couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse anymore, so she could only nod: "...Okay."

Nan Yuan followed Xie Luochen for a whole day. During that time, she expressed her desire to go home, but Xie Luochen rejected her with various reasons, so she had to keep silent.

It was not until the evening that Nan Yuan saw that it was about to rain and found an opportunity to come back.

But the time agreed with Gu Jingheng had long passed, and Nan Yuan thought that he would not wait so foolishly in the south of the city for so long.

"Miss, why are you so absent-minded today?" The thoughtful Yue Ran was the first to notice that something was wrong with Nan Yuan and asked with concern.

Nan Yuan shook her head and said, "No problem."

She suddenly remembered that her clothes were still in Gu Jingheng's hands, and he always had a bad temper. Would...

Nan Yuan was conflicted for a long time and didn't say much along the way.

When she got home, the first thing Nan Yuan did was to ask the housekeeper whether anyone had come to the house. Only when she heard the housekeeper say that no one had come did she feel relieved.

I will find a chance to explain this matter later, Nan Yuan comforted herself.

-

South of the city.

Gu Jingheng deliberately put aside all his affairs and waited here an hour earlier than the agreed time. He looked towards the city gate from time to time, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

But he waited for a long time, until it got dark, but he still didn't see the person he was waiting for.

"Your Highness, it looks like it's going to rain. It's not safe for the pleasure boat to stay in the lake. Do you think we should first..."

"Boom-"

Gu Jingheng threw all the gifts he brought to the ground, and the gifts broke into pieces!

The servant who came to report was silent as a cicada, not daring to breathe.

Gu Jingheng laughed in anger, his face gloomy.

"Okay, Nan Yuan, you're great."

***

Nan Yuan has been restless ever since she returned home. Even though Yue Ran and Bai Zhi came to talk to her and entertain her, she still didn't have much energy.

Yue Ran and the others just thought that the girl was tired after playing all day, so they just let her be and did not disturb her rest.

Nan Yuan lay on the bed, staring at the beams in a daze.

Thinking about what happened on the houseboat that day, especially Gu Jingheng's threat, Nan Yuan felt a little upset.

It was indeed her fault for breaking the promise, but what had happened had already happened and there was nothing she could do. After all, he had stood her up many times in his previous life.

Lying on the couch, tossing and turning, Nan Yuan couldn't fall asleep. She simply got up, dressed, and planned to go out for a walk.

"Squeak-"

The door was slowly opened. Nan Yuan looked into the yard and saw Gu Jingheng standing in the yard holding an oil-paper umbrella. It was unknown how long he had been standing there. He was wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind and his black hair fell to his waist.

His face was gloomy and his brows were cold. When he saw Nan Yuan opening the door, he curled the corners of his lips towards Nan Yuan.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan's heart skipped a beat and she pretended to close the door.

"Wow--"

The oil-paper umbrella was thrown to the ground, splashing water everywhere.

Gu Jingheng stepped forward and stood in front of Nan Yuan, holding the door with one hand. He looked down at Nan Yuan with cold eyes.

Nan Yuan pushed the door hard, but couldn't move Gu Jingheng at all.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Nan Yuan asked with gritted teeth.

Gu Jingheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled wickedly: "Of course I'm here to sleep with you!"

Nan Yuan: “…”

Before she could react, Gu Jingheng stepped forward and squeezed in, closing the door behind him: "Little Fengzheng, you are so naughty!"

As soon as Gu Jingheng finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pinched Nan Yuan's chin, pressing her slightly open lips hard!

Nan Yuan opened her eyes wide and tried to break free, but Gu Jingheng was so strong that she couldn't get away at all.

Nan Yuan's mouth was blocked by Gu Jingheng. She tried desperately to breathe air, but the man took the initiative and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. She felt Gu Jingheng's tongue tip flexibly prying open her teeth, forcefully inviting her to be intimate with him.
