She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 369 - 368: Truly White, Truly Fine

It was nighttime.

The City Lord Residence was brightly lit.

Lady Chen and Chen Di sat in the hall, staring eagerly outside.

"Why hasn’t the Crown Prince come for dinner yet?"

Chen Di was also somewhat anxious, "Perhaps he’s too tired and is still resting."

"He has been resting all afternoon; isn’t he coming out yet? Could it be that we, mother and son, did something wrong and neglected the Crown Prince and Her Majesty?" Lady Chen said worriedly.

It couldn’t be that the image of her being carried back from a heatstroke was seen by the two distinguished guests, could it?

Chen Di, looking at his mother’s expression, shook his head, "Mother, do not worry needlessly."

Although he was not particularly uneasy, the voice of the beauty behind the curtain that afternoon kept echoing in his mind, intensely bothering him.

Thus, Chen Di said, "How about this? I’ll pick a few dishes and deliver them personally. This shows our sincerity, and perhaps the Crown Prince will think better of our performance this afternoon."

Hearing what her son said, Lady Chen hurriedly instructed the maids to prepare, allowing Chen Di to take the meal boxes over.

The dishes were all prepared by the finest chefs from the Northern Border, exquisitely delicious. Since the Crown Prince had not yet arrived, these dishes were continuously kept warm.

"What are you doing!" the soldier in iron armor, holding a chilling weapon, wore a stern face.

Chen Di was startled and quickly softened his tone, "This humble one saw that the Crown Prince and Her Majesty had not come out for their meal, so I specially delivered this, please inform His Highness."

"Wait here," the soldier said coldly.

Chen Di stood patiently at the spot.

After a long while, when Chen Di felt as if his feet were going to root themselves at the courtyard gate, the soldier finally came out.

He expressionlessly nodded to Chen Di.

Chen Di finally exhaled in relief, showing a sycophantic smile, "Thank you, sir, thank you."

The moment he turned around, his expression darkened.

What audacity!

Once he succeeded in taking over the City Lord’s role, these people would have to respect him.

All of them are just relying on others’ power!

Pah!

Approaching the doorway, he could hear laughter and chatter from inside along with wafts of delicate fragrance.

Standing at the entrance, Chen Di looked inside; amidst pleasant sounds of strings and pipes, a group of dancers were performing. Among them, the most voluptuous dancer wore a captivating, golden powder-colored long dress, jingling adornments chimed as she moved most vivaciously, captivating all who watched.

The Crown Prince, in a dark robe, sat bare-chested and barefoot, thoroughly enjoying himself.

As the dance ended, the voluptuous dancer laughed and spun into the Crown Prince’s embrace, causing Chen Di, who was outside, to stare in shock.

Wanqing had noticed Chen Di at the doorway early on and, with Xiao Pingfeng’s help, she adjusted her facial features. Naturally, she had a somewhat cold-looking appearance, but after the adjustment, she seemed even more charming and seductive.

In Yan Xiaoliu’s words, every movement of hers was enough to destabilize a nation like a bewitching fox spirit.

At that moment, Wanqing squinted her eyes, smiling like a siren, "My lord, someone is here."

She lay pliant in Xiao Pingfeng’s embrace, boneless.

Although it was an act, the lord was genuinely pleased. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Who?" he asked, softly playing with her earring.

Wanqing, with her fox-like eyes lifted, smiled seductively, "I am asking you, who are you?"

Chen Di quickly walked inside, bowed deeply with his hands clasped in front of him, "Replying to the Crown Prince and Your Majesty, I am Chen Di. You even praised me for my enthusiasm this afternoon."

"Oh?" Wanqing curved her lips into a smile, "Did I?"

Being admired by such a beauty, Chen Di felt as if he was floating in the sky.

While the Crown Prince, watching his disgusting expression, wished he could wrench off Chen Di’s head if it weren’t for Yan Wanqing constantly holding him back.

His dark eyes deepened, and Xiao Pingfeng coldly asked Chen Di, "What are you here for?"

"Replying to the Crown Prince, I am here to deliver some food." He hurriedly gestured for his men to bring up the meal boxes.

"Young Master Chen is indeed thoughtful," Yan Wanqing blinked at him.

Chen Di, flattered, became even more diligent, almost wishing he could stay and serve like an ox or a horse.

Watching this made the Crown Prince’s eyes hurt.

When the man had left, the Crown Prince felt very jealous, "Why did you smile at him like that?"

"Chen Di is lecherous," Yan Wanqing stated the fact.

"No, you can’t smile at him like that. He doesn’t deserve it." The more he thought, the more upset he became, and the Crown Prince finished off the wine beside him in one gulp.

Yan Wanqing smiled and stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Why be so angry? From now on, I won’t smile at him; I’ll only smile at you like this, alright?"

"That’s more like it."

It was like placating a child, and Yan Wanqing sighed inwardly.

After tonight, the self-important Chen Di would definitely think she was interested in him. She was really looking forward to seeing the expression on his face when he found out her true identity.

Especially since she heard that Chen Di had displayed their bodies—hers and her sisters—in public for ridicule and beating, she couldn’t help but anticipate that day’s arrival.

Chen Di, oh Chen Di, you had better be able to withstand the shock.

Yan Wanqing tidied up her hair and yawned, "I’m dead tired from the dancing earlier. Let’s wash up and go to bed."

"Honey, you looked really beautiful when you danced earlier." Someone shamelessly pulled her into his embrace.

Yan Wanqing, caught off guard, softly hummed in confirmation, "I just blindly followed the dancer."

She was naturally not good at dancing, although she was quite skilled with the sword.

"Even a casual dance looks so good. Honey, if you really danced seriously, how impressive would that be?" The Crown Prince continued his earnest praise.

As long as he praised her well, his wife wouldn’t leave.

Women need endless admiration.

This was something his mother had told him when he was younger, and he kept it in his heart.

His Wanqing was the best woman in the world. If his mother was still alive, she would have loved her daughter-in-law.

Xiao Pingfeng’s gaze dimmed slightly, but soon he was reassured.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his mother’s blessings that he and Wanqing could end up together.

Now that she was pregnant with his child again, he felt extremely fortunate.

Once matters at the Northern Border were resolved, he planned to start preparing for their wedding. He wanted everyone to know that Yan Wanqing was his wife, Xiao Pingfeng!

"What’s gotten into you today, so sweet with your words?" Yan Wanqing took off the hairpin on her updo and placed it on the table.

Now in the room, only the two of them remained; the dancer and the servants had all left.

Yan Wanqing removed her outer garment, wearing only a thin undergarment, revealing a slender waist that captured the Crown Prince’s stunned gaze.

So white... so slender...

Unable to resist, his dark eyes darkened slightly.

Really want to pinch...

"Honey..." his voice hoarse as he drew her into his embrace, whining like a little puppy, "This is tough."

Yan Wanqing: "... Get lost!"
