Forced to Marry the Enemy Prince - Chapter 46
“If it’s not for the Ancestral Worship Ceremony, would he even notice you?” Zhan Lue hugged Xian Sheng and placed him on his lap. He reached his hand out and squeezed Xian Sheng’s face, saying, “Why are you so delicate?”
“It’s because you were too forceful. Look,” He patted Zhan Lue’s hand away and pulled up his sleeves. His wrist was filled with bruises too. Zhan Lue felt bad. It was true that he did not control his strength yesterday.
When he looked at Xian Sheng’s injured face again, he finally felt guilty. He raised Xian Sheng’s wrist, kissed it and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
His voice was very deep and he looked at Xian Sheng with his pitch-black eyes. Xian Sheng’s heart skipped a beat and there was still the warmth of Zhan Lue’s lips lingering on his wrist. Xian Sheng pulled his hand back and lowered his head. “Of course it hurts.”
“It also hurt when both of them hit me.”
Xian Sheng pursed his lips. He could not help but lift his head and look at him. He said on purpose, “Who told you to bully me?”
“Doesn’t your heart hurt for me at all?”
His voice sounded like he was complaining, but Xian Sheng’s ears softened. His heartbeat accelerated and he changed the topic. “Who’s that guy from just now?”
“Qi Siyue.”
“The genius Doctor Qi?” Xian Sheng had actually heard of him before. “He’s related to the Jin royal family?”
Zhan Lue answered all of his questions, but his tone was still gloomy. “He was the previous emperor’s illegitimate son and took his mother’s surname. Although he hasn’t been included in the family records yet, he’s still considered my royal uncle.”
“So that’s how it is.” Xian Sheng recalled, “I remember someone using his name to help me treat my illness. In the end, my illness became worse. In his fury, my brother sent him to jail and discovered that he was the fake genius Doctor Qi.”
“I called him back specially for him to treat your body.”
“In the past, I thought that genius Doctor Qi must be very old, with a white beard. I didn’t expect him to be so young and handsome.”
Xian Sheng’s face was full of admiration. Zhan Lue’s expression immediately became unhappy. “You like him?”
He did not even reply when Zhan Lue looked like he suddenly remembered something and laughed lightly. “It doesn’t matter if you like him. He’s gay and only likes men.”
Xian Sheng was stunned. He looked at Zhan Lue’s expression subconsciously and asked tentatively, “What do you think about… gays?”
“As long as he is a righteous man, it doesn’t matter what his orientation is.”
Xian Sheng asked again, “If one day, you meet a man who looks like me… Will you like him?”
Zhan Lue narrowed his eyes and replied after a while, “I already have you.”
“I’m just saying…” Xian Sheng tried his best to find the most suitable words. “If—I’m just giving an example—if you liked someone and discovered that he is actually not a woman, how would you treat him?”
“If he’s a man, why would I like him?”
“What if he is pretending to be a woman?”
The carriage fell silent for a short while. Zhan Lue looked at Xian Sheng’s beautiful face with his dark eyes. Xian Sheng smiled slowly and asked, “What’s wrong?”
His expression was calm as if he was just making a random joke. Hence, Zhan Lue smiled too and said gently, “I don’t like men. If someone dares to pretend to be a woman to make a fool of my feelings, I’ll skin him alive to relieve my hatred.”
Xian Sheng’s heart immediately froze. He buried his head in Zhan Lue’s embrace fearfully and said, “You’re so ruthless.”
He looked so innocent.
Xian Sheng was not afraid of dying. He was just afraid of pain. If he was to be skinned alive, Zhan Lue would definitely be disappointed. Xian Sheng could barely endure two cuts before dying.
Even if Zhan Lue wanted to vent his anger, he could not do so.
Upon such a thought, Xian Sheng suddenly relaxed again. He moved around in Zhan Lue’s embrace and thought that for each day where his secret remained hidden, it was an additional day of survival. He should treasure each day where he was alive.
Zhan Lue hugged him silently. Suddenly, he reached his hand out towards him, as if he wanted to be certain of something.
Xian Sheng was speechless. “…”
Luckily he had worn the breast pads he brought from Southern Liang so that the Empress could see the effects of the Breast Enlarging Pastries. Although they were small, they were slightly bigger like what Zhan Lue wished for.
He pursed his lips and hit Zhan Lue silently. The latter withdrew his hands and hugged him, relieved.
Xian Sheng’s chest suddenly felt loose…
Wait, did this pervert even pull them? Why did they feel like falling off?!
