Damn it! I'll strangle you to death

  "Prince...?" Bai Xinbi's face, filled with resentment, suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with emotions, gently and movingly looking at the man who appeared.

  Bai Han lightly said: "How can I still sit?" He and He Lan stood up one after another to welcome and pay respects, saying: "I didn't know you were coming, King. I'm afraid we failed to greet you from afar. Please forgive us."

  His clear eyes swept the Bai family with a hint of chill, and when his gaze fell on the gaunt figure standing motionless in the center of the hall, Yan Mo's heart suddenly felt stifled, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him, making his chest ache.

  The woman in front of him was still surprisingly thin, and he had no idea how she took care of herself. Looking at her tattered clothes, which clashed with the luxurious and elegant hall, he suddenly felt a twinge of regret... Had he been too hasty!

  "White sir, I heard that the princess who has not yet entered my palace has been brought back. I am deeply missing her and thus hurried over to take a look. I suppose White sir would not have any objections?" He withdrew his pained gaze, his deep eyes suddenly sinking as he looked at White Hanlin.

  Bai Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly in concern. It seemed that he had already been targeted by Cheng Wang...

  She stood up with the crowd, and with a slight bow, she replied somewhat awkwardly: "Your Highness, I've just returned to the mansion, and I'm covered in dust from the journey. It's not very becoming of me. Please, Your Highness, grant me some time to tidy myself up before meeting with you."

  "No need." Yan Mo rejected coldly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd once more before suddenly walking towards the person who had been standing still like an idiot. "White gentleman, although I and Miss White are not yet married, the imperial edict has already been issued, and Miss White is now considered a member of my royal household. Today, I have come to your residence specifically to invite her out for a trip. As for dressing up, I will take care of it myself. You just need to prepare Miss White's dowry properly, and the rest I will handle on her behalf."

  He spoke in such a casual and offhand manner that no one dared to refute him.

  Finally, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged him, ignoring the tattered and dirty clothes, and left the sight of the Bai family with a carefree and composed demeanor.

  "Grandma..." Bai Xin's lower lip was about to crack, and as soon as the person left, she immediately flung herself into He Lan's arms, crying pitifully.

  He Lan's heart was filled with disgust and resentment, but also with affection and reluctance towards this good granddaughter. Seeing her cry so sadly, she hurriedly patted her to comfort her, saying: "Bie'er doesn't need to worry, that scoundrel wants to take your place, I will never agree no matter what!"

  Bai Han shook his head gently, not knowing what to say. His goal was to get close to the Cheng Wang Fu family, but now that they had abandoned their well-behaved and talented daughter for that useless one, he was at a loss for what to do. Even the Emperor had agreed to it, so what could he possibly do?

  ……

  Out of the White Mansion, Bai Xincheng was directly led onto a horse carriage by the man beside her. Along the way, she felt that there were people around and continued to remain silent. However, at this moment, she had retracted her foolish aura and furrowed her brows like a normal person, releasing her discontent.

  She was undoubtedly shocked and surprised by the man's appearance. Looking back on what she had heard from the servants on the street in Jing, plus what the man himself had just said at the White House, she had already inferred the truth of the matter - the person she was about to marry was this man - Cheng Wang!

  Watching her indifferent and distant attitude, Yan Mo Yu kept his thin lips tightly pursed all the way, his deep eyes falling on her as he accompanied her in silence.

  As the luxurious carriage stopped outside a wine house, he got up first and suddenly grasped the small hand that had been clenched into a fist all along, wrapping it in his palm with a hint of force, pulling the person out of the carriage.

  "Sir, the matter you instructed has been prepared." Looking at the two people who got out of the carriage, Yin Du came forward from the entrance of the wine tower and said respectfully. A pair of eyes secretly glanced at Bai Xinduan's body back and forth, and the more they looked, the more unbelievable it became.

  With so many ladies in the Wang family, how could their father stoop to such a level?

  Alas! What kind of eyesight does grandpa have?

  Dirty and smelly, thin like a bamboo pole, if the two have any intimate behavior, how can I bear to do it, how can I swallow my pride?

  "Order it, within ten steps of the wine building, no one is allowed to disturb." The man just took a glance at Yin Du who came to greet him and immediately pulled the woman beside him into the wine building.

  A elegant room

  Looking at the table of delicious food, it can be said that Bai Xin had never seen such a sumptuous feast in her two lifetimes. Stunned for a moment, she came back to herself and completely disregarded his face, shaking off the big hand, walking towards the dinner table, and sat down.

  "There's no one here, you can speak freely." The man only sank his expression when she waved her hand, and then followed her to sit down, intentionally sitting beside her.

  Bai Xingdye took a deep breath and was about to brush away the hair in front of her forehead, but before she could do so, a hand that didn't belong to her quickly reached out.

  She didn't even think about it and turned her head away, refusing his touch, and didn't even glance at him from start to finish.

  His large hand stiffened in mid-air, and he let out a sigh as he looked at her attitude like a stranger, asking in a low voice: "Do you know everything?"

  Her patience was wearing thin, fed up with the man's incessant nagging, like a fly buzzing around her ear. She clenched her fist and asked without looking up:

  "Why do you have to do this? What's in it for you?"

  "She..." she began, and Yan Mo was naturally overjoyed, but in response to her cold question, he furrowed his brow, unsure of how to answer.

  He quietly placed a dish in front of her and said softly, "Eat first to fill your stomach, later I'll take you to wash up."

  A table of delicacies, Bai Xin's heart wasn't unmoved. Loosening her fist, she picked up her chopsticks and began to stuff food into her mouth without hesitation.

  If I don't eat, I won't have the strength to beat this dead man!

  As he watched her eat, Yan Mo's deep and profound black eyes couldn't help but be tinged with a smile, gently gazing at her as she devoured her food. He lifted his sleeve and placed the remaining dishes one by one in front of her, his gaze warm, his movements gentle and considerate, elegant and refined. Gradually, it made Bai Xin, who was already half full, feel uncomfortable.

  What is he going to do?

  Feed the pigs?

  She put down her chopsticks and turned around to gaze coldly at the diligent and considerate man: "I'm full, say it, what do you really want to do?"

  His eyes twitched, and he gazed deeply at her thin face with a profound gaze. His large hand moved slightly, and then he couldn't help but raise his hand to brush away the hair on her cheek. The action was natural and casual, as if he had done it thousands of times before, revealing her entire delicate face.

  "His Majesty has his eyes on you to be my queen..."

  "Does the Emperor intend to choose me as your queen?" Bai Xiner couldn't help but interrupt him halfway, coldly scolding, "Could it be that the Emperor is ill? And seriously ill at that? That's why you chose me as your queen?"

  "Hmph!" That gaze full of anger made Yan Mo slightly turn his head away, avoiding eye contact with her.

  "Is the imperial decree something you actively sought?" She now only wants to confirm one thing.

  Now that things have come to this point, there's no need for Yan Mo to hide anything. The person has already returned to the capital, and he naturally doesn't worry that she will fly away. So he nodded: "Yes."

  "So Old Man Bai brought me back from the mountain den, right?" This process had actually been told by those servants before, but she still wanted to confirm it.

  As for her calling Bai Hancheng, Yan Mo Yu was slightly stunned, and then continued nodding: "Yes."

  "Damn it—" Bai Xinzhi suddenly gritted his teeth and pounced on him, with the man completely unguarded. In an instant, he stretched out both hands and grabbed his neck, "Bastard! I'll strangle you to death—"

  He didn't expect her to make such a move, thinking that she would only be angry at most. Who would have thought that she could change her face so quickly? He was caught off guard by her sudden pounce and fell backwards, his whole body leaning back.

  Bai Xinzhen was so angry that she wished to strangle the man in front of her to death. She fell backwards, and then pounced on him, still furiously shouting: "Do I have a grudge against you or what? I was living my life just fine, why did you have to come and interfere?! Do you know what I hate the most? You actually brought me to this godforsaken place! I'll strangle you to death - I'll strangle you to death!!"
