The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 39 Jiang Jinshuang, I've changed my mind.

The spring breeze was gentle, and Jiang Jinshuang was wearing a light blue long dress made of gauze.

Beneath the silk as soft as water, her jade-like skin was faintly visible.

Her skin was so delicate that sometimes he even felt that the softest fabric in the world would probably rub her skin raw and chafed.

The door closed, and all was silent.

Jiang Jinshuang shook off his hand, but her body seemed to lose its balance, and she took several steps back before she could barely stand still.

Jiang Jinshuang inhaled several mouthfuls of the intoxicating fragrance due to her overly vigorous breathing.

She bit her tongue, forcing herself to stay awake, and looked warily at the tall, imposing man in front of her.

She smelled the familiar sandalwood scent on him.

It was so familiar that it made her a little irritated.

He didn't speak, but stood five steps away from her, looking down at her.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't like this.

—It seems that Pei Du is always there whenever she looks her most disheveled.

But he, like a refined and noble gentleman, looked down at her from a superior position.

"go out……"

Jiang Jinshuang bit the soft flesh of her cheek, looked up at him with furrowed brows.

He simply stood there, his tall, slender figure detached and aloof. His height was exceptionally superior, his radiance understated, and his temperament outstanding.

Jiang Jinshuang was in a bad mood and repeated fiercely, "Pei Du, get out."

For some reason, Jiang Jinshuang's thoughts were in turmoil, and she even remembered that night three years ago when Pei Du had been just as fierce towards her.

Upon learning that Pei Du had been drugged, she acted rashly and went to his bedchamber alone without thinking.

As soon as she entered the door, a teacup shattered at her feet.

"Get out!"

The teacup brushed casually across her fingertips, leaving a vague, lingering pain.

She stepped on the shards, her voice cautious: "Pei Du, it's me..."

At that moment, she saw a fleeting look of panic and shame in the man's eyes.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't understand at the time, but now that she's experiencing it firsthand, she seems to understand a little.

—I don't want anyone to see me like this.

The burning sensation at the base of her tongue began to spread throughout her body, carrying a scorching heat that seemed to burn her whole being.

Jiang Jinshuang bit her tongue again, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

He just stared at her, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps because she had been drugged, Jiang Jinshuang felt that her senses had been amplified.

She clearly didn't look up, but she could feel the man's gaze following her and slowly moving to her waist.

Her waist was slender and delicate, so small it could be encircled in one hand.

He looked at her waist, and as if thinking of something, his gaze darkened.

Jiang Jinshuang felt uneasy under his gaze.

She took a few steps back and curled up in the corner.

"Pei Du, get out! I don't want to see you right now!"

Jiang Jinshuang forced herself to make her voice sound normal.

The man in front of them finally moved.

Saying it moved isn't entirely accurate.

He merely shifted his position and turned back towards Jiang Jinshuang.

The dark red robe was very eye-catching and easily attracted Jiang Jinshuang's attention.

He stood in the spring light streaming through the window, his expression cold, his integrity evident.

"If you don't want to see me, who do you want to see?"

Jiang Jinshuang frowned in confusion at his inexplicable remark and glanced at him.

He stood there against the light, and Jiang Jinshuang couldn't quite make out his expression.

—I just felt that he was in a bad mood.

Pei Du seemed to have been angry ever since he saw her today.

"Si Ning?"

Why would Tisnin do this out of the blue?
Jiang Jinshuang frowned even more deeply.

The man looked down at her, his eyes filled with emotions she couldn't decipher.

Like a sculpture that shows neither joy nor sorrow, with a graceful and elegant appearance, and unparalleled beauty.

If no man were around, Jiang Jinshuang could have survived on her own even after taking the drug.

But right now, with such a huge piece of fat right in front of her, and she couldn't eat it, Jiang Jinshuang was extremely distressed!
Blood was flowing from the tip of her tongue, and the blood seemed to have burned her mouth. She slightly parted her lips and took small sips of cool air.

Her consciousness was fading. The man in the crimson robe before her was exceptionally handsome, with a graceful waistline. She curled her knuckles, and even the corners of her eyes were red.

“Pei… Pei Du…”

She couldn't help but call out to him.

Her voice had a sweet, soft, and alluring quality that she herself was unaware of.

The man stood there, still motionless.

The light streaming in through the window was like dense gold dust, gilding the dark patterns on his robe with a layer of gold.

He looked at her with a cold expression, without saying a word, remaining silent.

It was as if it were a punishment for her.

punish?

Jiang Jinshuang was startled by this thought that flashed through her mind.

--How can it be?

She didn't do anything wrong, so why should he punish her?

But that rationality only flashed for a moment before a surging wave of desire rushed over her, as if to drown her.

Her voice trembled, her body almost out of her control, as she called out to him again in a soft, reluctant voice, "Pei Du..."

There was an undercurrent in the man's eyes.

His dark eyes swept over her, and his long eyelashes fluttered, like the feathers of a raven in the night.

"Lord Pei, I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to you."

"Yes, I treat Pei Du as my possession."

"But for now, I don't want this item anymore."

"If you like it so much, then go pick it up."

"I'm giving it to you."

……

"Your Highness has a good nature and a good temper. You can make friends with anyone and exchange a few words with them."

"It's just that Your Highness has a bad memory. Back in Jiangnan, although I often dined with Your Highness, Your Highness rarely mentioned the Grand Secretary."

"It seems that His Highness cannot remember."

"Your Highness spent some time in Jiangnan, and that's when I met her."

"Is that so? But Her Highness told me that Jiangnan is a very nice place, and if given the chance, she would like to spend the rest of her life there."

She could never spend her final years in Jiangnan.

After a long while, Pei Du moved.

“Click, click—”

The jade pendant at her waist jingled softly, each step seeming to resonate with her heartbeat.

Jiang Jinshuang's consciousness was already blurred; she only felt that she smelled a refreshing sandalwood scent.

Because she was huddled in the corner, she looked down slightly and saw the pair of shoes that were half a step away from her.

In an instant, a thought flashed through Jiang Jinshuang's mind.

—That's unfair.

That's not fair at all.

He always seemed to look down on her, impeccably pure.

He seems to always be the one on the altar.

That's not fair at all.

Thinking this, she somehow mustered the strength to pull out the silver hairpin and stab it into her fingertip!
Before the silver hairpin could fall, a large, slender hand protected her fingers, and the hairpin easily sliced ​​open the back of his fair hand.

Jiang Jinshuang smelled the blood.

She forced herself to regain consciousness, squinting as she tried to see the man in front of her clearly.

"Tick tock-"

The bright red blood dripped onto the floor with a deafening roar.

Those beautiful finger bones pinched her chin and slowly, yet irresistibly, lifted it up.

Jiang Jinshuang winced in pain at her chin and was forced to frown as she looked at him.

"Jiang Jinshuang, I've changed my mind."

"What……"

Jiang Jinshuang simply couldn't muster the energy to understand that inexplicable sentence.

The man's lips were thin and red, with a very beautiful cupid's bow. When his lips moved up and down, you could see the sheen on them.

"Make him move out of the princess's residence before tomorrow."
