“What is it?” Mu JinYu asked in suppressed rage, how can someone be so stubborn!
At this point, Wei Min no longer cared about his opinion of her, “I will let the Emperor announce the news of you, the eldest son of the Duke, taking me, the foreign princess, as your wife.” She started slowly, “The reason why you are anxious right now is that your little lover might’ve seen what happened just now, so, why don’t you give both you and her a chance? If the both of you are really in love and meant for each other, she would definitely be more than willing to meet you and listen to your explanation.”
“If she believes you and intends to marry you, you win. But, if she still does not wish to see you or believe your words three days after the news was announced, that means I win, and you will have to spend your life with me as your wife.” She smiled, “What do you think?”
This was indeed a good idea to settle this issue once and for all… Mu JinYu gritted his teeth and agreed to her proposal, in fact, he had full confidence in himself and Gu MingYue.
However, ideals would always differ from reality, because when Mu JinYu rushed to the mansion of the Zhang Residences, the guards standing on duty at the gate did not even land him a look and completely ignored him.
Mu JinYu smiled wryly at the guard, before requesting for a passage of visit to meet their Miss, however, he realized that not a single guard was responding to his words.
Their actions caught the attention of many passing citizens, and they began surrounding the area in hopes of watching some real-life drama.
Mu JinYu was embarrassed and quickly left the area with a darkened expression. No matter, I’ll just let her cool down… He decided.
Women are moody creatures, and due to his young endeavors with various different ladies, he was confident that his knowledge of them was on point.
But what he didn’t know was that Gu MingYue was not an ordinary woman. In fact, she had been extremely calm when she decided that the best course of action was to return to the old couple.
Although her interactions with Mu JinYu were but a requirement to complete her mission, she had always done her best and treated him genuinely. What’s more, this recent incident had nearly cost her life! But how had he repaid her efforts? By fooling around with the original heroine and giving her the excuse of being ‘busy’.
She was really mad.
She had invested so much hard work and time into him, and just as she was just inches away from reaping her rewards, her target just went ahead and gave her a heartfelt kick.
Not even a good-tempered person could stand this, let alone herself, who, under the guise of a gentle and endearing lady, had always been one with a stubborn temper.
If it wasn’t for this, she wouldn’t have ended up with such a fate in her original world…
In short, Gu MingYue figured it was time for him to get a feel of her true temperament, in fact, she was no longer someone he could push around due to her newfound position as the sole daughter of Lord Zhang.
Though Mu JinYu had probably not noticed, Gu MingYue knew clearly that he had initially chosen her for her gentle and obedient demeanor, and any feelings he developed after that were also under the prerequisite of her being a gentle and considerate lady.
But now, after regaining her place in House Zhang, she had all the rights and capital to act however she wished to. She would not be gentle nor obedient, she would be ignorant and temperamental. Let’s see how he would deal with this!
Princess XiLiang was a woman of swift actions, because on the next morning, after Mu JinYu woke up alone and in a daze on his bed, the Emperor’s personal Eunuch arrived with a royal decree from His Majesty. And within moments, every single person in the capital knew about the marriage engagement between Mu JinYu and the foreign princess, therefore concluding the peaceful relationship between the two countries.
But little do they know, Mu JinYu had been scrubbing himself nonstop ever since the night before, especially the giant beast that was caressed by the princess. He felt as if he had peeled off layers of skin after the numerous cleaning sessions, he was red and swollen, but still, the sense of disgust filled through him whenever he thought of the princess.
Deep inside, his consciousness was truly afraid that Gu MingYue would dislike him for this, hence he had been cleaning himself carefully, without the slightest negligence.
After cleaning himself up thoroughly, Mu JinYu rushed over to Zhang Residences once more. However, instead of the guards from before, this time, it was Gu MingYue’s two elder brothers awaiting, and without saying another word, both of them rushed up to him and started a fight.
Learning from his previous experiences from being attacked by the brothers, Mu JinYu effectively avoided all of the fists aimed at his face. He had no choice, as his plan was to seduce her back with his flawless looks, and he could not afford to have his handsome face destroyed with bruises. He was confident that she would hear him out and also understand and accept his reasoning.
Besides, how could a man only take one wife in this age of time? Every man would have had at least more than a couple of mistresses and concubines… And he was the rightful heir to the Dukedom, nonetheless!
Mu JinYu was beyond confident that their relationship would be repaired easily, it was common sense, and she was an understanding and considerate lady!
However, after the two young master Zhangs got tired from the one-sided brawl, both of them turned their backs towards him and entered the gate, deliberately slamming the gate shut right on his nose without a second word.
What, that’s all? Mu JinYu gaped at the closed gate in shock, the beating he had suffered would’ve been for naught if he was still refused entry into Gu MingYue’s home!
Serves him right! Siscon brothers ftw!!
