CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 59: HEAR ME OUT WHILE I TRY TO EXPLAIN

"Hm? What did you say?"

The man’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous aura spreading in the air.

Yun Ran, afraid he would lose control again, instantly caved, "No... I said I didn’t take advantage of you, you, you misunderstood!"

"Heh..."

The man curled his lips into a captivating smile, lazily raised an eyebrow, and waved the torn piece of clothing in front of her eyes, looking somewhat smug:

"The evidence is overwhelming, Lin Wanyue, do you still want to deny it?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[I hadn’t had the chance to destroy the evidence yet...]

[Ah... Beauty is truly deceiving! Leads one astray, indeed!]

Yun Ran quietly stretched out a hand to cover her eyes, unable to bear the sight of that clothing. "Sir, that, actually, it’s..."

"What? You want to say it tore on its own?"

Yun Ran, interrupted: "..."

[I should’ve known to use some knockout drugs on him, then just, straightforward, strip!]

[That way, no one would ever know, nor would there be any trace left.]

[Ah... If only I’d known better earlier!]

With tears streaming inside her heart, Yun Ran spoke sadly, "Sir, this is actually a misunderstanding, listen to me, slowly..."

"Listen to you slowly make excuses?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Can’t you stop ruining the mood?! Such an annoying man!]

Seeing her face flushed with anger, Nangong Mo felt quite pleased, casually reminding her:

"The facts are right here, you can’t deny them. Tell me, how will you compensate me?"

"...I’ll get you another piece of clothing?"

"No, try again."

"Then... ten pieces?"

The man tapped a finger on her forehead, "Do I lack clothes? The point is, you tainted my reputation."

[You have a reputation to speak of? Annoying beast!]

"How did I take advantage of you? You’re slandering me!"

"It doesn’t matter, if I say you did, you did. Before I woke up, who knows how long you’ve been harassing me."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Is this blatant rogue behavior?]

[Can you reason with a rogue?]

"Then what do you want?"

The man mischievously raised an eyebrow, smiling like a fox who’s succeeded in his conspiracy, "After returning, move into my courtyard."

"..."

Wouldn’t she be devoured until nothing’s left?

"I refuse!"

"Then I’ll move into your courtyard to sleep."

"..."

Is there even a difference?

"I refuse!"

As soon as the words fell, the man flipped her onto her back again, his hands roving over her delicate frame, causing trouble everywhere, "Then let’s consummate now."

Yun Ran: "?!..."

...

After three more days in the palace, everything was fine during the day, but come night, Yun Ran felt every day lasted a year.

Inside, she was shocked, angry, and embarrassed:

Why did he appear dignified and elegant during the day, like a noble immortal, behaving cold and aloof in front of others, but turn into a shameless beast at night?

Men are truly inconsistent! Never be fooled by their appearances!

The Empress Dowager figured they’d been cohabiting for six or seven days, surely this little grandson would have prospects soon, so she agreed to let them return.

Yun Ran almost cried with joy.

She’d made up her mind not to move into his courtyard.

However, when Yun Ran returned to her room happily, she found it completely empty, not even a bed board left behind!

Yun Ran: "?!..."

When did he get his hands on this??!

"Nangong Mo! You crafty and shameless scoundrel!"

"I’m running away from home!"

"Where will you run to? Take me with you."

Yun Ran: "..."
