Chapter 2603: Chapter 2603: Truly Knowing Her Mistake (5)
Royal Posthouse.
Wanyan Liang stormed into the room in a fury, slapping Wanyan Ningshuang across the face.
With all his strength, Wanyan Ningshuang was lifted off the ground then fell to it, half her face instantly swelling up, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Why did you hit me?" Wanyan Ningshuang clutched her cheek, gazing at Wanyan Liang.
"Put away your little schemes." Wanyan Liang, his eyes ferocious, grasped her by the throat. "Don’t forget your mission."
Wanyan Ningshuang’s heart skipped a beat; indeed, she had some schemes, because that man was simply too handsome. Like an immortal when at peace, yet intimidating when serious, he was no less impressive even amongst the Crown Prince and the other princes.
She knew she was to be married into the Imperial Family, but that didn’t stop her from coveting an outstanding man. In Jin Country, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t played around before.
Thus, over the past few days, she inquired about Gu Qingheng’s wife’s situation, intending to probe first. Unexpectedly, that woman was so formidable, and even more unexpected was how much Gu Qingheng protected her and her family.
Wanyan Liang showed no mercy, tightening his grip.
Wanyan Ningshuang already felt the suffocation setting in.
However, fortunately, Wanyan Liang didn’t forget they were in Daxuan. Just as she started rolling her eyes, he flung her away.
Cough, cough... Wanyan Ningshuang coughed violently for a long time before calming down. She realized he truly intended to kill her just now, and couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sorrow. They were siblings, yet he could be so ruthless.
However, some people know when to retreat, some assess situations and act accordingly, but some, the so-called bold ones, confront challenges head-on, desiring things more when they are unattainable.
If Gu Qingheng had been submissive from the start, she might not have craved him as much. Instead, his indifference fueled the deepest madness within her; she longed to see if, once she captured that man, Yang Ruxin would still remain so haughty!
Nevertheless, she was smart enough to know that now was not the time to confront Wanyan Liang, and she immediately shed tears: "Brother, don’t you believe in me either?"
Wanyan Liang frowned.
"I really just thought that hot pot was delicious; I wanted to meet the owner behind it. Who knew that woman would be so arrogant?" Wanyan Ningshuang crawled two steps on her knees and hugged Wanyan Liang’s leg, "I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again, brother, please don’t be angry."
Wanyan Liang frowned at the weeping girl for a while, finally sighed, and bent down to pull her up: "Ningshuang, you are a princess of Dajin; you can act as you please in Dajin Country, but this is Daxuan." He paused, "We are here to foster goodwill with Daxuan, not to make enemies, do you understand?"
Wanyan Ningshuang nodded vigorously.
"Although the Prince of Yun is not the Crown Prince, his abilities are absolutely on par with the Crown Prince, and most importantly, he holds significant military power." Wanyan Liang reached out to caress his sister’s face, "Your task is to win him over and eventually become his Princess Consort."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do." Wanyan Ningshuang looked down.
Wanyan Liang let out a breath: "I hope you truly understand. These days, restrain yourself. Whether you like it or not, you must maintain a good relationship with Yang Ruxin."
