The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 117: Xie Yunzhen Is Out of His Mind

Xie Yunzhen was strong, and Ji Mingzhu in his embrace was like a proud little cat.

Not allowing him to touch, yet unable to resist.

She could only stare at him with her beautiful, watery eyes, gritting her teeth.

The man’s large hand stroked her slender back, finally resting on the woman’s soft waist.

"Zhu Zhu, you didn’t come to pick me up today."

After speaking, he slapped Ji Mingzhu on the butt.

As if expressing dissatisfaction, or seizing the opportunity to deliberately bully her.

Ji Mingzhu’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she asked sharply, "When did I ever agree to pick you up?"

Xie Yunzhen whined, "Can’t you just make me happy this once?"

Ji Mingzhu sneered coldly, "In a few days, the Commandery Princess will probably arrange a concubine for you. Whatever you want, someone will satisfy you then."

In her past life, she was pregnant and couldn’t serve Xie Yunzhen.

Due to the discord between her and Xie Yunzhen, Princess An He had mentioned the matter of taking a concubine.

At that time, she truly liked Xie Yunzhen and couldn’t accept sharing her husband with another woman.

Therefore, she flatly refused the idea of a concubine.

Because of this, she was punished by the Commandery Princess.

Later, she was affected by fetal movement, and the doctor said pregnancy made her emotionally sensitive, so the idea was dropped.

If not for her difficult labor in the past life, Ji Mingzhu believed that the topic of taking a concubine would’ve resurfaced soon enough.

This life is the same as well.

That bowl of tonic soup was a signal.

In the Duke Mansion, her purpose was to bear heirs for Xie Yunzhen, and be used as a weapon by others.

If she couldn’t manage this, she would either be divorced or see Xie Yunzhen take a concubine.

If she were the Ji Mingzhu of the past, she would certainly be anxious at this moment.

However, in this life, she no longer hoped for Xie Yunzhen’s love.

No matter which way things go, as long as she is heartless and love-free, without weaknesses, the initiative remains with her.

If adversaries press on, she might as well let it all break down.

The tip of her nose was lightly bitten.

Ji Mingzhu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, glaring at Xie Yunzhen, "What are you doing?"

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were playful, "I was biting my little wife. Didn’t you say a concubine would unconditionally satisfy me? I’ll bite whenever I want."

Ji Mingzhu eyed him coldly, "Princely Heir, you should focus on getting your mind treated first."

Xie Yunzhen’s mouth cornered lifted wildly.

The saying goes that hitting is affection, and scolding is love.

If a woman is unwilling to even scold you, that’s when you’re really in danger.

Just like that time around last year, Mingzhu didn’t want to pay attention to him.

She avoided him everywhere.

At that time, she was planning to leave the capital.

To leave him.

After experiencing those things, Xie Yunzhen understood how fortunate it was to be scolded by Mingzhu.

He just loved being scolded by Mingzhu!

Holding Ji Mingzhu’s hand, he kissed it repeatedly at his lips, "Zhu Zhu, scold me a few more times."

Ji Mingzhu’s eyes showed fear.

She felt more and more that Xie Yunzhen had a screw loose.

She forcefully pulled her hand back and wiped it on the man’s clothes, as if she had touched something dirty just now. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Xie Yunzhen’s smile grew broader.

In front of other men, Mingzhu never exposed such a cute side.

Including Yuan Changan.

Thinking of his former rival, and the letter Xi Yu sent before returning home.

The letter mentioned the hidden truth about the incident in Yangzhou.

Xie Yunzhen’s raised mouth gradually lowered.

Staring intently at Ji Mingzhu, his eyes meticulously tracing her features.

Delicate forehead, thin brows, eyes like clear water, a graceful nose and bright teeth...

A tiny lip bead on her lips, making her appear more charming and enchanting.

Xie Yunzhen’s hand on her slim waist unintentionally tightened.

"Mingzhu, never leave me."

His expression was very serious.

His eyes hid a deep unease, like there was a constant risk of losing her.

Ji Mingzhu didn’t respond directly.

Instead, she said, "I don’t want you to take a concubine."

Although whether or not Xie Yunzhen took a concubine no longer hurt her heart.

But between the main wife and a concubine, inevitable conflicts of interest would arise.

She had to handle Xie’s elders, deal with Du Peifang, and keep energy reserved to face unforeseen situations.

If Xie Yunzhen took a concubine, she would need to expend more energy to deal with it.

Thinking of such a situation, Ji Mingzhu felt exhausted.

Even though she knew that for now, Xie Yunzhen wouldn’t take a concubine, she wanted to clarify her position.

Ultimately, how it would play out depended on his choice.

Xie Yunzhen hugged Ji Mingzhu tightly, "I won’t take a concubine, not even if I die."

Ji Mingzhu eyed him, "Really?"

"If I lie to you, I’m a dog."

Ji Mingzhu: "..."

Understanding what worried her, Xie Yunzhen said, "I will speak to my mother. I won’t let her trouble you."

From beginning to end, what he wanted was only one Ji Mingzhu.

What did other women have to do with him?

If he lost Mingzhu again, his life would be for naught!

In his past life, his mother had also brought up the matter of taking a concubine, and at that time, he didn’t support Mingzhu, leaving her to deal with the mess.

Later, she affected the pregnancy, not only injuring her body, but also earning a reputation of being jealous, narrow-minded, and intolerant.

He had been wrong.

It was absolutely wrong to abandon her in the perilous inner courtyard, ignoring her suffering.

He kissed Ji Mingzhu’s forehead forcefully, "Don’t leave me. I’ll solve all the problems."

Xie Yunzhen had always been capricious.

But lately, his emotions had been relatively steady.

Todays repeated mentions of leaving made Ji Mingzhu look at him with curiosity.

Meeting her gaze, Xie Yunzhen tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety.

Nonchalantly, he picked up Ji Mingzhu, letting her sit sideways on his lap.

He gently touched her flat stomach, his eyes tender.

"Let’s eat, you must be hungry."

Ji Mingzhu couldn’t be as shameless as he was, "Let go quickly, what if someone sees us?"

Xie Yunzhen snorted softly, justifying, "We are husband and wife, with an official marriage certificate from the government. What’s wrong with me holding my own wife?"

After speaking, he quietly let out a breath.

Mingzhu had already married him, in a proper marriage, and no one could take her away!

Before the maids entered the dining hall, Xie Yunzhen released her as agreed.

The soft sensation lingered on his thigh, and he instinctively placed his hand on it, caressing it.

His expression was somewhat entranced.

Ji Mingzhu caught a glimpse of his action, her ears turning crimson.

She glared at Xie Yunzhen.

Whoever spread rumors about Xie Yunzhen being cold and abstinent, disinterested in such matters?

This person was clearly no different in bed or out!

Turning into a rogue at every opportunity.

Shameless!

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes filled with amusement, wiping his hands carefully with a handkerchief.

His large hands were well-defined, veins tracing from the back up to the sleeve.

Being watched by him made Ji Mingzhu inexplicably uncomfortable.

She averted her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

No need for maids to serve the meal, Xie Yunzhen waved them out of the dining room.

"All clean, Zhu Zhu, need to check?"

Ji Mingzhu’s face flushed entirely red in an instant.

His teasing words from those nights replayed in her mind when his fingers teased.

"If you’re not eating, then get out!"
