After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 194 Do You Really Have Me in Your Heart?

Fumbling to pick up her clothes, Shi Nuanyu began mentally chanting commands.

One, two, three, run!

Before she could take a step, her wrist was gripped tightly, and a deep voice came from behind her, "I've heard that Her Highness the Princess has taken in a male concubine, a gardener?"

Shi Nuanyu was startled and struggled with her wrist, "He's not a male concubine, he's a gardener with many suspicious points."

"It's not like that now, but there's no guarantee it won't be in the future."

Yu Changfeng took two steps forward and pressed himself against the woman, his large hands tightly holding her waist.

The tall man surrounded her completely, like a fish on a chopping board.

The oppressive atmosphere was so intense that Shi Nuanyu could hardly breathe. If she had known this would happen, she would not have spoken her thoughts so soon and should have waited until the envoys finished their pilgrimage.

All passionate love was extinguished by cold water, like a deep pool that could not be stirred.

Yu Changfeng's icy blue eyes were filled with dark, turbulent emotions. He had reason to be angry, but the person in his arms made him dare not be angry.

"I killed him."

The words in his dream filled him with hope and joy, but her one sentence extinguished all his love.

The man's tone was flat, making it impossible to tell whether he was angry or furious.

Shi Nuanyu's heart leaped into her throat. "We can't kill him; he's still useful."

Her shoulders were restrained by the man's arms, and the large hand around her waist slowly moved up to rest on her heart.

The woman's irregular heartbeat caused him a sharp pain in his heart.

Yu Changfeng took a deep breath, trembling. "You're afraid of me."

Fear is even more unacceptable to him than dislike.

"Shi Nuanyu, you're afraid of me because of him."

The man's whispers echoed in her ears, each word like a boulder crashing into her heart.

Shi Nuanyu gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and explained in a low voice, "I said I spared that person's life because he was useful, and I'm not afraid of you."

Yu Changfeng bluntly exposed his lie: "You're lying."

Why is he trembling all over if he's not afraid?

With her nervousness gone, Shi Nuanyu reluctantly picked up her wet clothes.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that my clothes are still wet?"

Even if he holds her in his arms, it doesn't change the fact that she's cold.

She was indeed afraid when she confessed, after all, the man was the ruthless Yama in the original book, but she wasn't afraid afterward.

Yu Changfeng pursed his thin lips, picked her up horizontally, and used his lightness skill to rush towards the Jade Pavilion without stopping.

Once in the bedroom, he ripped off her clothes with a wave of his hand and casually put her on the bed.

Before Shi Nuanyu could react, a thin blanket had already been placed over her.

Seeing her long, dripping hair, Yu Changfeng picked up a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

The water droplets on his hair had all receded. Yu Changfeng silently took off his clothes and lay bare-chested on the outside of the bed.

He needs to calm down now.

Shi Nuanyu sat on the bed, hesitant to speak, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

How can we communicate like this?

However, why does his back look so familiar? It seems like I've seen him somewhere before.
Shi Nuanyu approached slowly, her curiosity piqued, and examined his back closely by candlelight. She traced his back with her fingertips, feeling every inch of it.

She abruptly withdrew her hand when she touched the crescent-shaped scar under his shoulder blade, staring at the man in disbelief.

It can't be him.

The identical scars served as a reminder to her.

The two figures overlapped, their height and build were almost identical. Imagining him wearing a mask, apart from the difference in their pupil color, they were clearly distinct...

He was lying to her.

An inexplicable anger welled up inside her. Shi Nuanyu wrapped herself in the quilt and stumbled off the bed, but before she could take two steps, her wrist was grabbed again.

Yu Changfeng said angrily, "You won't even lie on the same bed with me anymore, Shi Nuanyu? Do you hate me that much?"

He was the one who lied to her first, and now he's blaming her. Shi Nuanyu seemed to have found an outlet for her anger and forcefully shook off his hand.

"Your Highness, we are not on the same path, so why are you so fixated on sharing a bed?"

She glared angrily at the man's face, her mind filled with memories of Jingzhu and her time together. In his presence, she had let her guard down completely.

Shedding tears freely, exposing her weaknesses to seek comfort.

Now tell her that they are one person.

Shi Nuanyu was so angry that her hands were trembling. "I said in the hot spring that Your Highness is the Crown Prince of Beilin. You will eventually sit on the throne, marry and have children."

"And I have others around me, we have no one in our hearts, why should we be bound together?"

No, she does like it; to be precise, she likes Jingzhu.

"You can even blurt out the word 'bondage,' so where exactly do you place me?"

Yu Changfeng stared at her with deep sorrow, his merciless words like sharp blades tearing his heart apart.

"If I didn't have you in my heart, I wouldn't have come back again and again."

If you love her, why lie to her?

He watched her reveal her vulnerability to him without reservation, and then used another identity to laugh at her.

Shi Nuanyu opened her eyes wide, refusing to let the tears fall.

"I have said all I need to say. Your Highness, please return to Beilin tomorrow."

She could accept being used, but she couldn't accept being deceived in the name of love. How many times could she have explained, but he chose to keep it a secret?

Shi Nuanyu turned and left. Oh well, they were never meant to be.

Yu Changfeng rushed in front of her, blocking her way, and demanded, "Shi Nuanyu, explain clearly what you mean by 'that's all I have to say'."

"We haven't seen each other for many days, and as soon as we meet you say we're not on the same wavelength. What's holding us back?"

He asked with difficulty the question he least wanted to ask, "Do you not have even the slightest place for me in your heart?"

With tears in her eyes, Shi Nuanyu looked directly into his gaze and asked, "Are you sure this is the first time we've met?"

If this is truly the first time they've met, who was she reviewing memorials with in the study?
Yu Changfeng's gaze remained unwavering as he approached her step by step, stopping just a step away.

"Nuan Nuan, you are..."

Found what?
Shi Nuanyu turned her back to him in a panic, at a loss and unable to look directly into her own heart.

She was actually afraid of him admitting it; she really was afraid of him.

Jingzhu knew her vulnerability, and Yu Changfeng knew the secret she was guarding in her heart. The two of them knew everything about themselves.

It's like dissecting her open and exposing her to the world without any defense.

"Yu Changfeng, let's leave it at that."

He was ruthless in court and killed countless enemies on the battlefield, yet he felt powerless in her presence.

Yu Changfeng spoke slowly and deliberately, "I disagree."

He carried the disobedient woman back to bed in a few steps.

Shi Nuanyu struggled with all her might, but the man's embrace was like an impenetrable wall; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Even if her physical strength increases, it's still not enough against someone with combat prowess.

The woman in his arms rubbed against him without restraint, and Yu Changfeng threatened her through gritted teeth.

"We are both naked, if you move again I will take you."

He's not a saint; he also reacts to the woman he loves.

Sensing something amiss, Shi Nuanyu froze, too afraid to move, her face flushed as she huddled into a ball.

That's a beast, he's an absolute beast.

They were clearly going their separate ways and arguing, yet he could still...

The person in his arms closed her eyes, and Yu Changfeng gently bit her earlobe.

What should we do with her?
"Nuan Nuan, when will you open your heart to me? We'll face the difficulties ahead together. Don't be afraid of me anymore."

I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to resist and will tear her apart and swallow her whole.

Shi Nuanyu, who was not asleep, trembled. She could accept their love, but she could not recklessly expose her weaknesses.
