Chapter 55: Cruel Prince

Cruel Prince 4

Tang Wan noticed someone approaching and immediately grabbed Feng Qitong’s arm.

Then, like someone in the desert finally finding water, she pulled his hand against her burning face.

After a moment, still dissatisfied, she moved closer and mumbled, “Tongtong... I want water...”

As she spoke, she lightly bit Feng Qitong’s finger.

The soft, damp touch instantly stirred something within him.

Feng Qitong’s dark eyes unconsciously fell onto Tang Wan’s lips.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

The next moment, as though driven by curiosity, Feng Qitong lowered his head and pressed against her soft red lips.

Soft.

Warm...

Sweeter than the finest tofu he had ever tasted.

At that moment, Tang Wan instinctively clung to him, seeking relief from the unbearable heat consuming her body.

Her arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck while her body pressed against him restlessly.

Feng Qitong felt as though he were holding an agitated little rabbit. Not only did he not want to let go, he almost wanted to swallow her whole.

“Ding! Feng Qitong’s favorability has increased by 20. Current favorability: 10.”

Unfortunately, Tang Wan could no longer hear the system notification.

All she could think about was instinctively drawing closer to Feng Qitong to ease the burning sensation tormenting her.

Just then, the maid’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

“Miss, I’m back!”

Hearing the sound, Feng Qitong abruptly regained his senses.

After lowering his head and looking at Tang Wan’s dazed expression, his eyes darkened slightly. Then he picked her up sideways, wrapped her securely in his outer robe, and quietly left the side hall through the window.

...

Within a quarter of an hour, Feng Qitong carried Tang Wan into a magnificent palace residence.

Seeing his master bring back a woman, Feng Qitong’s personal guard was visibly shocked.

“Your Highness, this is...?”

“Guard the entrance well. If anyone asks for Miss Tang, tell them this prince invited her here for tea,” Feng Qitong ordered.

Then, with a kick of his foot, he shut the door behind him.

After entering the room, he placed Tang Wan onto the bed before leaning over her.

It was rare for Feng Qitong to encounter a woman who neither feared nor rejected his touch.

Letting her go now simply wasn’t his style.

Like a wolf eyeing its prey, Feng Qitong swiftly removed the final layers of restraint between them.

...

Back at the banquet, when Tang Wan’s personal maid finally returned over an hour later, Tang Qingzhu secretly smiled to herself.

Tang Wan, ah Tang Wan...

In the previous life, Grandfather gave you all the best things. Even the finest marriage arrangement was reserved for you first.

But in this life?

She wanted to see what Tang Wan would do now.

Feng Qitong was destined to go mad eventually.

What good could possibly come from marrying a cold-blooded, ruthless, violent man?

So what if Tang Wan became a princess?

In this life, Tang Qingzhu would take away everything that once belonged to her.

Who told the Tang family to be so unfair?

...

Half an hour later, Tang Wan finally regained a bit of awareness.

The moment she realized there was a man pressing against her, her eyes widened slightly.

Damn it.

Feng Qitong, this beast, really made his move!

Did he seriously never think about the consequences?

For a moment, Tang Wan instinctively raised her hand and weakly pushed against his chest.

“Let go of me...”

But the words carried no real threat at all.

Seeing this, Feng Qitong let out a low laugh.

With one strong arm, he easily held her slender waist and pulled her tightly against his chest.

“Let you go?” he said lazily. “You were the one who took the initiative to provoke this prince. Don’t you know? Once someone provokes me, no one is allowed to escape.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his large hand firmly pressed against her waist, effortlessly changing her position beneath him.
