Chapter 2734: Rotten Peach Blossoms

Xuexue gave him a sidelong glance, half-smiling as she asked, "Prince, I’ve sold all your women, why aren’t you angry?"

The Prince laughed and said, "Why should I be angry? My dear wife has helped her husband cut off rotten peach blossoms, I’m too happy to even say!"

Xuexue: "Prince, aren’t you afraid the Emperor will hold you accountable tomorrow?"

Long Rui: "Did my dear wife just now start worrying for her husband?"

Xuexue: "I was too angry at the time and didn’t think about the consequences. Prince, you can scold me, I’ve caused you trouble."

Long Rui furrowed his brow and asked, "Dear wife, what actually happened?"

He knew that his wife wouldn’t just get rid of hundreds of women in the estate for no reason; something must have happened to make her angry.

Xuexue then told Long Rui about the old man and the tea stall incident.

Long Rui also frowned continuously; indeed, it’s extremely annoying to always have unidentified spies around, monitoring one’s every move.

"Dear wife, don’t blame yourself. I wanted to deal with those women a long time ago. This actually saved me a lot of trouble."

"Prince, is that really what you think?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

"But the Emperor is definitely going to blow up and cause you trouble. What should we do?"

"Now you know to be afraid, too late." Long Rui laughed and lightly flicked her nose.

Xuexue brushed his hand away, frowning and said, "Prince, don’t make trouble, I’m telling you something serious!"

Long Rui put away his smile and said earnestly, "When has that old Emperor ever let me off? One more issue or one less makes no difference, we’ll just take it one step at a time."

Things have come to this point, there’s no other choice.

Xuexue looked at Long Rui and asked, "I’ve cut down all your peach blossoms, are you really not angry?"

Long Rui smiling replied, "If I’m angry, will my dear wife buy them back?"

Xuexue’s face darkened, blurting out, "In your dreams, don’t even think about it!"

Long Rui laughed even more joyously, "Dear wife, you’re jealous."

In the past, his wife was always either cold or warm to him, sometimes resting her chin in her hand, looking at him absent-minded as if weighed by worries, with no clue why.

Long Rui once asked her, but Xuexue always answered ambiguously.

Over time, Long Rui stopped asking. He thought Xuexue must have suffered too much hardship in Mo Family Village as a child, and naturally had more thoughts than the average girl, so he didn’t mind.

He secretly vowed that in the future, he would not let his wife suffer.

Xuexue realized, somewhat flustered, "Who’s jealous of you? Stop being so smug."

Long Rui immediately followed her lead, saying, "Alright, my dear wife is not jealous, it’s I who am jealous, satisfied?"

Xuexue: "Hmph! I wasn’t jealous in the first place."

Long Rui: "Yes, yes, my dear wife is always right."

Only then was Xuexue satisfied, as long as he verbally yielded, she didn’t care if he meant it in his heart, so she smilingly asked again, "Really?"

Long Rui’s face was almost touching Xuexue’s, his warm breath floating onto her face, "Of course, it’s true."

"Annoying!"

Xuexue backed away a bit, not knowing that Long Rui would press closer, until she was cornered against the wall.

With nowhere to retreat, tightly surrounded by Long Rui, her entire body unable to move, Xuexue got angry, "Enough, what do you want?"

Long Rui, looking pitiful, said, "Dear wife, I’m jealous, I need to cool down."

Xuexue got furious; this guy was blatantly being unreasonable. What jealousy? She didn’t even know a single man, unlike him. Despite rumors about his ghostly looks that even scared little kids, he was still surrounded by peach blossoms all over Moli Country because of his overwhelming power.
