Chapter 59: Cruel Prince 8

The image of Feng Qitong kissing her while she looked flushed and dazed nearly caused Tang Wan’s girlish heart to explode.

Damn it!

How could someone be this seductive just based on looks alone?

She really wasn’t some hopeless fangirl—

but she genuinely had no resistance to this face.

Seriously.

He was just too handsome!

Seeing Tang Wan’s excited expression, the little cutie said speechlessly, “Calm down! Can you try learning some self-control? This is only the second target, and you’re already completely captivated. If you meet someone even better-looking later, won’t you go crazy? Do you have any dignity left?”

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately retorted, “There’s no way someone more handsome than him exists! If his personality were a little better, he’d practically be perfect!”

The little cutie laughed.

“Oh? And who was the one complaining before that I cheated her? Besides, to everyone else, he may be cold-blooded, but toward you, he can actually be guided and trained. Isn’t that basically the perfect husband?”

Tang Wan’s eyes instantly lit up.

“That actually makes sense!”

Then, while watching the moving images of yesterday’s kisses that the little cutie had secretly recorded, Tang Wan began seriously thinking about how to”attack” Feng Qitong.

Although their intimacy last night had greatly increased his favorability, that might only be temporary novelty. Physical intimacy alone could never truly measure emotional attachment.

However, judging from Feng Qitong’s behavior this morning, he clearly liked holding her very much.

Perhaps she could gradually deepen their bond through physical closeness.

Over time, once Feng Qitong became accustomed to her presence, he would naturally start indulging her more and more.

But the premise for all of this was simple—

she had to successfully marry into the Crown Prince’s residence first.

Otherwise, in this ancient era where women were judged harshly, if she actively approached Feng Qitong herself, she would definitely become the target of endless gossip.

...

At that moment, Feng Qitong had already arrived at the palace.

Elder Tang was currently inside the Imperial Study.

Last night, he had already sent people to the Crown Prince’s residence to ask for Tang Wan’s whereabouts, but they waited until dawn without seeing her return.

For the sake of his granddaughter’s reputation, he had no choice but to withdraw his people before sunrise.

But early this morning, he entered the palace personally, fully prepared to accuse the emperor of indulging Feng Qitong’s outrageous behavior.

Tang Wan was his most beloved granddaughter!

The moment Elder Tang saw Feng Qitong enter, he glared fiercely at him.

Feng Qitong calmly stepped forward and knelt down.

“Father Emperor, your son has taken a liking to Miss Tang Wan of the Tang family. I wish to marry her as my princess consort and ask Father Emperor to grant permission.”

In the original storyline, Feng Qitong had never intended to take responsibility at all. It was only because Elder Tang pressured the emperor that he was eventually forced to marry Tang Wan.

But this time—

Feng Qitong had personally come to request the marriage himself.

The meaning behind the two situations was naturally completely different.

Hearing Feng Qitong’s words, the emperor immediately revealed both surprise and delight.

Elder Tang still glared at Feng Qitong, but inwardly, he also felt somewhat relieved.

Now that such a scandal had occurred, no matter how unwilling he was to let Wanwan marry into the Crown Prince’s residence, there was no other choice.

However, if the Crown Prince personally requested the marriage, the situation became entirely different.

Thus, after seeing Elder Tang merely snort coldly instead of objecting outright, the emperor immediately laughed.

“Good! Excellent! Tong’er, you’ve already reached the age to marry. Miss Tang is both talented and beautiful—a perfect match for you! I hereby approve this marriage!”

Feng Qitong immediately bowed.

“Thank you, Father Emperor, for granting this wish. However, this son has one more matter for which I seek Father Emperor’s and Grandfather’s assistance.”

Elder Tang initially didn’t react.

But in the next second, he realized Feng Qitong had just addressed him as “Grandfather.”

For a moment, more than half of his original dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.
