Whether or not to bring this up with Ye Shuang when she got back was another question; she didn't want to embarrass Ye Shuang too much.

Cheng Fei ordered coffee and stood in front of the shop to wait. He turned around to make sure the arrogant girl was resting on a seat outside the shop. The boy took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Shuang about what had just happened, so that she wouldn't expose him to Lin Xuanqi later.

After reminding the obedient girl not to reply, the boy deleted the message history, and just then the clerk placed the coffee in front of him.

Lin Xuanqi gazed at the park scenery, covered her mouth, and let out a lazy yawn.

"Tired?" Cheng Fei returned with two lattes, pressing one against her face.

"My back is a little sore." The haughty girl took the room-temperature coffee, took a sip, and glanced at him with a subtle look.

"Then go back and rest?" The boy seemed oblivious to her resentful tone.

Lin Xuanqi subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but then changed her mind and said in a bored tone, "Let's go back, there's nothing interesting outside anyway."

"Lying down is still the most fun?" the boy said, not without a hint of sarcasm.

The girl rolled her eyes at him, stood up, tugged at him, and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and get going."

So the two left the park shortly after going out and took a taxi back to the hotel.

After getting out of the car, Lin Xuanqi regained her spirits, her pigtails bouncing with her steps, and she smiled brightly, "Honey~ tell me, am I good to you now?"

"It's too good to be true." The boy shook his head and sighed.

"Is she a good wife?" the girl asked with a smile.

"Very competent." The boy nodded seriously.

"Then you must cherish such a wife for the rest of your life."

"Xuanqi, why do I feel like you're brainwashing me?" The boy stared at her, rubbing his chin.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll change your mind in the future?" The girl looked innocent. "I only have you in my heart, and of course I want you to only have me in your heart too."

"You've always been the only one in my heart," the boy said without hesitation.

"Really?"

"It's true."

"That's more like it." The girl snorted softly, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

When the boy suddenly pinched her chin and leaned closer, she immediately and skillfully stood on tiptoe to meet him.

In this atmosphere, the two returned to the hotel.

Lin Xuanqi walked into the room, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back. Her uniform shoes made a crisp sound on the floor. She went to the window, stretched lazily at the bustling street scene below, stood still with her hands behind her back, her toes slightly raised, and a smile on her lips.

"Hey Xuanqi, how about we switch to a regular hotel and stay in a suite?" the boy's voice came from behind.

"No need, a smaller room is fine too. I've never stayed in such a small room before." The girl glanced at the suggestive decor of the love hotel, seemingly unconcerned.

"Oh, young lady."

"Your young lady is still your young lady." The girl raised her chin and gave a haughty snort.

"mine?"

"Then what...?!" The girl's words were cut short as her mouth and nose were covered. At the same time, the stinging pain of her hair being pulled made her pupils shrink, and she couldn't help but gasp. Then she closed her eyes slightly, looking lost and helpless, sinking into another round of merciless treatment. Her naturally flawless face revealed a sickly look.

……

Meanwhile, on the 36th floor of a high-end apartment building on Guang'an Street.

In the quiet study, Ye Shuang caught a glimpse of a WeChat message notification popping up on her phone on the table. She put down the comic book in her hand and picked up her phone to read the message.

After reading the message, the girl became nervous, and her little hands on her lap clenched involuntarily.

"Hmm? Something's up." Asuna Nagasaki seemed to sense something, and leaned over with her hands behind her back, her expression deliberately serious.

Ye Shuang quickly turned off the phone.

"Shuangshuang, did Cheng Fei send you this message?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

Ye Shuang paused for a second, then nodded obediently.

"Can I take a look?" Nagasaki Asuna asked with a smile, extending her hand.

Ye Shuang hesitated for a moment, then opened her phone and handed it to the other person, "Take a look..."

After reading it, Nagasaki Asuna looked thoughtful. "Eh, it seems that Lin's offensive has been neutralized by Cheng Fei again?"

Ye Shuang lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Shen Xi was busy studying the data of the dual-body world. She squinted at the screen, then stretched out her hand without turning her head, "Give it to me."

Nagasaki Asuna first cast an inquiring glance at Ye Shuang, and only after receiving a nod did she respectfully hand the phone to the aloof young woman, saying, "Your Majesty, please take a look~"

Shen Xi read the message expressionlessly, handed back her phone, and sneered, "They're still being fooled by Cheng Feiyu's endless lies. That Lin guy is really stupid to the core."

Asuna Nagasaki tapped her chin lightly with her fingertip. "I don't think we can say that. Lin is quite smart, but she relies too much on her special ability. Of course she would be fooled by Cheng Fei, who has immunity to it?"

"You vixen, you're already speaking up for her just because you ate a meal with her?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.

"Not at all, of course I am loyal to Her Majesty the Empress, I was just stating the facts." Nagasaki Asuna lowered her head honestly, her tone full of familiarity.

Shen Xi frowned even more. "I'm warning you, don't talk like that jerk."

Ye Shuang didn't participate in their conversation. She bit her lip lightly, secretly regretting that she had accepted Nagasaki Asuna's invitation to come over today.

"Shuangshuang, please don't let your imagination run wild." Nagasaki Asuna suddenly turned around, as if sensing something, and smiled as she gently stroked her head.

……

When the suffocating silence ended and her body regained its freedom, Lin Xuanqi's consciousness slowly returned. She opened her eyes, swallowed, her chest heaving violently, and then collapsed, powerless.

Feeling excruciating pain all over her body, she became even more engrossed in tax evasion, lost in her own world.

After a long while, she climbed into the boy's arms, closed her eyes again, and savored everything that had happened, following the stinging sensation at the roots of her hair.

"Husband," Lin Xuanqi said softly, raising her head.

"Ah?" The young man gently stroked her red, tear-filled eyes.

The girl nestled against him, breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a moment, said, "When we get back, you can move to Yushui Garden."

"Why?" the boy asked curiously.

"Your place is so small, it must be so uncomfortable to live there." The girl recalled his old rented room.

The boy remained noncommittal. "But I live in Yushuiyuan, where do you live? It's not convenient for you to go back to Nanwan every day, is it?"

Lin Xuanqi glanced up at him, seemingly nonchalant, "Of course I also live in Yushuiyuan."

The boy was even more puzzled. "When I said I'd move in with you before, weren't you terrified?"

"How could I not be afraid of you like this?" The girl rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"Then why do you want me to move there now?"

"I'm afraid I'll want to live with you too." The girl hugged the boy tightly, her eyes slightly closed. "Even if I really die at your hands, I'll accept it."

"That's an exaggeration. It's not like I'd really kill you." The young man hesitated, "But my moving in will definitely affect your work. Is that okay?"

Lin Xuanqi placed her hand on the boy's face, gazed deeply at him, and whispered, "Maybe he'll get used to it over time. He has to get used to it eventually, otherwise what will happen after we get married? Don't you think so?"

"That seems to make sense." The boy stroked his chin and nodded.

"When you get back, just bring a few people and move the important things over. Leave the unimportant things for now," the girl said.

“Alright, I couldn’t be happier.” The boy nodded without hesitation.

Lin Xuanqi couldn't help but swallow, a pleading look in her eyes. "Honey, could you please be a little more considerate of her? Don't go too far with your games every day. Just imagine how embarrassing it would be if someone saw me limping to the company?"

"I'll try my best." The boy's lips twitched slightly.

"Hmm." The girl stared at the window without moving, her expression conveying a sense of determination.

After a brief silence, the boy suddenly said again, "Xuanqi, but then again..."

"What's wrong, honey?" The girl immediately looked up at him.

“I don’t think you need to force yourself to accommodate me.” The boy looked into her eyes, as if he was worried about something. “I still prefer you as you are. You are very cute now, but if you go too far, you won’t be yourself anymore, and you might not be able to stand it in the long run.”

The young woman seemed thoughtful. "So, what does my husband mean?"

"How about I move in after we get engaged? I'll try not to be too mean to you then," the boy said seriously.

Lin Xuanqi stared at him without blinking.

A moment later, the girl couldn't help but smile. "Honey, you're so gentle with me!"

“I think rationally speaking, this is better for both of us.” The boy gazed at her.

“Alright, then let’s live together after we get engaged.” The girl nodded, thought for a moment, then breathed into his ear and smiled mischievously like a little devil. “But honey~ don’t be too gentle with me, because I love how you love and hate me at the same time. The more you hurt me, the more excited I get…”

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Then, a relentless stinging pain shot through her hair roots, causing the girl to gasp and tremble.

"Lin Xuanqi, you asked for this," the boy said in a low voice.

"Husband...!" The haughty young woman was forced to look up at the ceiling, her voice trembling.

863. Princess of the Moon

Lin Xuanqi opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes, her eyes moist and tear stains remaining on her face.

Outside the window, night had fallen in Shinjuku, and the neon signs of Kabukicho were flashing again, a kaleidoscope of colors.

The girl subconsciously moved her body and immediately felt as if she had been in a car accident. Her joints and tendons all over her body were stinging, and she involuntarily gasped.

She put her hand on her forehead, blinked while staring at the ceiling, and felt that she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.

I spent another afternoon in the couples' hotel room, completely unaware of the passage of time, and I couldn't even remember when I lost consciousness.

Is it being left exhausted on the bed after everything has settled, or suffocating in a moment of unbearable torment from which you cannot escape?

Never mind, it's all the same.

Even though the painful memories flashed through her mind, Lin Xuanqi couldn't help but curl up a smile, as if the constant pain had become a source of joy.

There's nothing left to worry about; she just likes this feeling anyway...

After lying motionless for several minutes, the girl regained some mobility and struggled to sit up, only to find herself a mess from head to toe.

Lin Xuanqi didn't care at all. She scrambled to the edge of the bed, knelt down, and looked at the boy eating takeout on the sofa. In a coquettish voice, she called out, "Husband..."

"Wife's awake?" The boy, who was devouring a grilled crab claw, looked up and pretended to pick up the takeout box. "Hungry? Wait for me to bring it over."

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll come to your place." The girl shook her head, tried to get out of bed, then her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She looked at him for help, "Honey, I'm out of strength."

With the boy's help, the girl was able to move to the sofa and enjoy the food with him.

Lin Xuanqi checked the food on the table and asked in confusion, "Honey, why didn't you buy any wine?"

The boy paused, then looked at her. "You want a drink?"

"My husband doesn't want me to drink?" The girl looked at him and smiled.

“You drank yesterday too, and I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle it if you drank again today, so I didn’t order any.” The boy said seriously.

"There's nothing I can't stand, as long as my husband likes it... I can get him drunk however I want." The girl leaned close to his ear and whispered with a smile.

The boy met her gaze for a second, then opened his phone without hesitation, saying, "I'll order right away."

Lin Xuanqi caught a glimpse of this scene, a smile playing on her lips, and picked up the curry rice the boy had placed in front of her to enjoy.

After placing the order, the boy looked at her again, glancing at her legs with large snags in her pantyhose, and asked with concern, "By the way, you got the amusement park tickets, are you okay for tomorrow?"

"At worst, my husband will help her walk." The girl said nonchalantly.

"That's true." The boy nodded.

Lin Xuanqi chewed her food, feeling her sore and weak body gradually regain its vitality. She leaned her head on the boy's shoulder and sighed softly, "They said they came here for a vacation, but it seems like we didn't go anywhere all day."

“Want to explore a bit more? No problem, we still have a few days,” the boy said immediately.

"No, it's fine to just stroll around in the morning. We'll go back to the hotel in the afternoon, and my husband can do whatever he wants." The girl mixed curry and rice with a spoon, as if she were talking about something trivial that had nothing to do with her.

The boy turned to look at her, his expression showing a hint of something he wanted to say but hesitated.
