Chapter 61: Cruel Prince 10

At the Crown Prince’s residence—

The moment Feng Qitong returned, he headed straight for the bedroom. As soon as he saw Tang Wan, he immediately stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

Almost instantly, the faint irritation that had been lingering inside him disappeared completely.

“The fifteenth of this month will be the day you and I marry,” Feng Qitong suddenly said while casually playing with her soft earlobe. “Tomorrow, this prince will personally go to the Tang residence with the betrothal gifts.”

Tang Wan subconsciously shrank back slightly before replying in surprise, “So soon?”

“What?” Feng Qitong’s tone immediately darkened. “You don’t want to marry this prince?”

“No, of course not! It’s this subject’s honor!” Tang Wan quickly answered sincerely.

“Ding! Feng Qitong’s favorability has increased by 5. Current favorability: 60. Congratulations, Host! Keep going!” the little cutie cheered.

Tang Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Feng Qitong lifted her chin and kissed her possessively, completely unconcerned with restraint.

Clearly, in his eyes, Tang Wan already belonged entirely to him, and he could do whatever he pleased.

Knowing resistance was useless, Tang Wan could only silently remind the little cutie:

“Little Cutie, remember to save pictures! Take the best angles possible!”

Little Cutie: “...”

I’m a system, not a camera!

Still, it obediently adjusted its recording angles anyway.

...

Only after kissing her thoroughly did Feng Qitong finally release her.

Then he said, “Come. This prince will escort you back to the Tang residence.”

“Alright,” Tang Wan replied softly, though her thoughts were still somewhat dazed.

Every time this man kissed her, it felt as though he wanted to devour her whole, leaving her breathless every single time.

Of course...

she secretly enjoyed it quite a lot too.

Soon afterward, Feng Qitong pulled her out of the Crown Prince’s residence. Along the way, Tang Wan was so distracted that she completely failed to notice the servants staring at them in utter shock.

After boarding the carriage, they headed toward the Tang residence.

Inside the carriage, Feng Qitong pulled Tang Wan onto his lap and casually played with her long, pale fingers.

Then he asked lazily, “Do you have any idea who drugged you?”

Hearing this, Tang Wan looked at him in surprise before shaking her head.

Even if she knew, she couldn’t say it.

The female lead was someone she absolutely couldn’t afford to offend casually.

...

“I truly don’t understand how you obtained the title of capital’s number one talented woman,” Feng Qitong said meaningfully. “Are you actually foolish, or are everyone else simply blind?”

Tang Wan: “...”

Although the original owner’s reputation really had been somewhat exaggerated, hearing Feng Qitong say it outright still made Tang Wan feel strangely insulted.

So annoying!

Seeing her puff up in anger, the corners of Feng Qitong’s lips unconsciously curved slightly.

“Don’t worry,” he said casually. “With this prince protecting you from now on, no one will dare scheme against you again.”

Tang Wan instantly decided to forgive him for calling her stupid earlier.

“Does Your Highness already know who did it?” Tang Wan asked curiously.

“Mm.” Feng Qitong nodded calmly. “You only need to return home peacefully and prepare to become my bride. This prince will personally handle the matter.”

“Alright!” Tang Wan nodded obediently.

At the same time, she secretly thought to herself:

In the previous world, the heroine’s fate had technically been ruined by the villain, yet the system never punished her for breaking apart the original couple.

Did that mean that as long as she didn’t personally interfere with the male and female leads’ relationship, it wouldn’t count as violating the rules?

Could this be considered a loophole in the system?

The moment that thought appeared, the little cutie immediately jumped out to explain:

“Host, this isn’t a loophole. It’s actually a protection mechanism provided to hosts dealing with problematic protagonists.”

“The system is very humane. It won’t allow male or female leads to endlessly bully the host without letting the host retaliate.”

“However,” the little cutie added seriously, “I still need to remind you not to deliberately use this benefit to indirectly break apart the protagonists’ relationship. If the main system discovers it, the consequences will be severe!”

Some hosts believed they were clever after discovering so-called “loopholes,” using side characters within mission worlds to deal with the male and female leads indirectly.

But in reality—

nothing could escape the eyes of the main system.
