The closer it got to the coronation, the more worrying the situation became.

  “When will he recover?” Lu Fenying asked.

  “In around half a month. Your Highness, why don’t you return to the country first and let Miss Qian’er stay here for treatment? We can pick her up later.”


  Red Wolf knew how urgent matters were in the country. They really couldn’t stay in Southern Glory Empire any longer.

  Lu Fenying said coldly, “You want me to return empty-handed?”


  Red Wolf lowered his head and stopped talking. He could only make the suggestion, but knew that the crown prince probably wouldn’t agree.

  Once the crown prince made a decision, he would definitely follow through with it.

  Lu Fenying’s eyes turned even colder. If he let Mo Qian’er stay here and she came into contact with Xiao Xiao, her soul would probably be stolen away.

  Lu Fenying went to see Xiao Xiao himself.

  It was extremely heated between the love rivals. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere in the room was like the powder and smoke on a battlefield.

  Lu Fenying looked at Xiao Xiao sharply with pitch black eyes, and itched to kill this thing that had an eye on his woman.

  However, this man had extraordinary medical skills.

  If he died, nobody would be able to resolve any problems Mo Qian’er might have in the future.

  That was why he had promised Mo Qian’er to spare his life.

  Xiao Xiao looked at him calmly.

  The matter was already out in the open. No matter what he did, Lu Fenying would still dislike him. What was there to be worried about?

  He never thought that after wandering the world on his own, he would meet a little fairy like Mo Qian’er and lose his heart to her.

  He had restrained himself before, but it was useless.

  He dreamt of her beautiful face every night. His heart ached when he thought about how she was imprisoned by Lu Fenying and wasn’t treated well.

  Even at the cost of his reputation, and no matter if everyone else disdained him, he was determined to help her get rid of this demon.

  Lu Fenying said coldly, “I never thought the Xiao family would have a thief like you.”


  A strange light flashed in Xiao Xiao’s eyes. Lu Fenying could scold him however he wanted, but he couldn’t implicate the Xiao family.

  “Your Highness, don’t blame other people for wanting to take a treasure that you don’t appreciate,” said Xiao Xiao calmly.

  “Mo Qian’er will always be in my hands. Just give up.”


  Xiao Xiao looked at him calmly. “Are you really so confident that you can control her forever?”


  “What can you do?” Lu Fenying smiled mockingly.

  “It’s good to be confident, but it’s easy to be slapped in the face if you’re blindly so.” Xiao Xiao got off the bed. “If Mo Qian’er finds out that she can no longer have children after you struck her, do you think she’ll hate you?”


  “What’s there to be afraid of?” Lu Fenying retorted.

  If Mo Qian’er hated him, so be it. In any case, he would never let her go.

  “You’re not afraid?” Xiao Xiao stood up, his eyes burning.

  Lu Fenying frowned. Was he afraid?

  Of course he was. He didn’t like the way Mo Qian’er looked at him as if he was her enemy. That put him in a bad mood.

  But so what? He still couldn’t let Mo Qian’er go.

  “You wouldn’t be standing here if you weren’t afraid. Why are you telling me to give up? Your Highness, you’re afraid that I’ll steal Miss Qian’er’s heart.” Xiao Xiao walked over to the couch and poured two cups of tea. “Why don’t we make a bet?”


  “I have no reason to bet with you.” Lu Fenying was disdainful.

  “No reason, or you don’t dare?” Xiao Xiao took a sip of the tea, and his complexion softened as the warm water flowed into his heart.
