Chapter 57: Cruel Prince 6

Hearing Tang Wan directly call his name, Feng Qitong wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he smiled faintly and lifted her chin.

“You truly are bold,” he said coldly. “You even dare call this prince by name.”

Tang Wan froze for a moment before suddenly remembering this was ancient times.

But thinking about her current miserable state, she immediately pushed against him and said loudly, “Why wouldn’t I dare? You... you already treated me like this. Am I not even allowed to complain?”

Feng Qitong immediately replied, “Don’t forget—last night, you were the one who took the initiative. You clung to this prince and refused to let go.”

“You’re clearly twisting the truth!” Tang Wan retorted angrily. “If a woman kept pestering you, couldn’t a grown man just leave?”

It seemed this man wasn’t only cold-blooded and ruthless—

he was also shamelessly thick-skinned!

Facing her accusation, Feng Qitong answered matter-of-factly, “With such a beauty throwing herself at me, if I walked away, wouldn’t I be letting myself down?”

Tang Wan: “...”

Fine.

She finally understood.

This man was impossible to reason with!

“Alright, even if that’s true, I’m awake now. Can you let me go already?” Tang Wan gritted out.

Feng Qitong let out a cold snort. “You want to leave? Then first let this prince calm down.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and fiercely kissed her lips again, forceful and overbearing.

Tang Wan was almost stunned senseless by the kiss.

This guy kissed far too aggressively.

After finally managing to catch her breath, she tightly grabbed Feng Qitong’s shoulders and said stubbornly, “Even if you get my body, you’ll never get my heart!”

“Perfect,” Feng Qitong replied with a faint smile. “This prince only wants your body anyway.”

Tang Wan: “...”

Cruel!

Absolutely ruthless!

But what he definitely didn’t know was—

although she complained nonstop, she actually wasn’t hating this nearly as much as she claimed.

...

After being tormented for another long while, Tang Wan repeatedly begged for mercy before Feng Qitong finally released her.

He only felt completely refreshed afterward, both physically and mentally.

Then he personally carried Tang Wan to the hot spring to clean up—

though not before taking advantage of her once more.

Only afterward did he summon maids to help Tang Wan change clothes.

Tang Wan hurriedly said, “I-I can do it myself! If others find out I spent the night here... I’m afraid I’ll only end up dead...”

Of course, she herself had no intention of committing suicide over losing her virginity like a traditional ancient woman would.

But in this era, public opinion could kill people.

The Tang family had treated the original owner extremely well, so Tang Wan naturally didn’t want the family to lose face because of this matter.

Hearing her words, Feng Qitong’s expression instantly darkened.

“Without this prince’s permission,” he said coldly, “no one is allowed to let you die. Including yourself.”

Tang Wan looked at him blankly.

It seemed he had no intention of abandoning her.

But that made sense.

In the original plot, after the two were set up together, they had still ended up married.

This time would probably be the same.

...

Still, if she showed no reaction at all, Feng Qitong might become suspicious.

So Tang Wan quickly continued with a worried expression, “But... but I didn’t return home all night. If word spreads...”

“Relax,” Feng Qitong interrupted calmly. “This prince personally escorted you back to the minister’s residence last night. Who would dare question it?”

Tang Wan immediately felt relieved.

Then she smiled sweetly at him.

“Thank you, Your Highness! Now I can finally feel at ease.”

Unexpectedly, although this man was somewhat domineering and reckless, he still knew how to protect her reputation.

In the original storyline, there had been no such consideration. Instead, the scandal had exploded publicly after they were discovered together on the spot.

Seeing Tang Wan smile at him, Feng Qitong’s eyes darkened slightly.

Then he pinched her chin and said, “In the future, without this prince’s permission, you are not allowed to smile at other men.”

Tang Wan: “...”

“I understand.”

Forget it.

You couldn’t expect too much from someone with such an unstable personality.

This was her future husband after all—she had to be patient and tolerant.

Seeing Tang Wan obediently agree, Feng Qitong nodded in satisfaction.

“Ding! Feng Qitong’s favorability has increased by 5. Current favorability: 55. Keep going, Host! Victory is close!” the little cutie cheered enthusiastically.
