Ling Hui was never one to dawdle. If she liked it, she liked it. If she didn’t like it, she didn’t like it.

  She was really not interested in Tang Xi’s type at all.

  No, to be exact, she was not interested in any man right now.

  She had not yet completely recovered from the trauma and hurt that Ling Motian had caused her. How would she dare to let herself sink into it again?

  However, he had helped her that day and she had indeed promised him.

  She had always been clear about gratitude and grudges, and was a person who kept her promises.

  She looked at Tang Xi. “Let go of me first. I don’t like talking to you in this position.”


  Tang Xi let go of Ling Hui. Ling Hui had just regained her freedom when something tightened around her wrist and she was pulled onto Tang Xi’s lap.

  “Why are you such a gangster?”


  Tang Xi found it funny. “Princess, I haven’t done anything. How am I a gangster?”


  Ling Hui struggled on his legs, wanting to get off. She heard him say with a deep breath, “If you move again, I’m really going to be a gangster.”


  Ling Hui glared at him.

  “Princess, you seem to be very afraid of me?”


  Ling Hui could not stand people provoking her the most. The more he said that she was afraid, the more she had to sit down.

  “I just got a divorce and I’m not in the mood to date anyone. I don’t want to waste your time either. It’ll be a month at most. If you can’t make me fall for you, let’s not be entangled anymore.”


  One month?

  To be honest, Tang Xi was not too confident.

  Ling Hui was different from other girls. She grew up in the presidential palace and had seen too many outstanding men. Take her ex-husband, Ling Motian, for example. Although he was a bastard, it did not mean that he was not good.

  A month was too short.

  Tang Xi weighed it and raised his eyebrows. “Three months.”


  “One month. If you don’t want it, then forget it.” Ling Hui pretended to leave.

  Tang Xi bit his chin. “Okay, just for a month. If the Princess has feelings for me, you will follow me for the rest of your life.”


  Looking at his confident expression, Ling Hui smiled brightly. “If you lose the bet, you have to keep your promise!”


  Tang Xi stared at her beautiful eyes that did not have any emotions for him and smirked evilly. “Alright, I, Tang Xi, always keep my word. If the Princess still doesn’t fall for me after a month, I won’t appear in front of you anymore!”


  Ling Hui and Tang Xi stared at each other for a few seconds. A confident and arrogant smile appeared on her exquisite and cold face. She leaned down and landed by Tang Xi’s ear. “I won’t let you win.”


  Tang Xi grabbed Ling Hui’s slender waist, looking devilish and domineering. “Princess, don’t jump to conclusions until the last day. Even if the Princess is indifferent to me, I will conquer your body in bed!”


  This shameless bad man!

  Anger appeared on Ling Hui’s charming and cold face again. She did not notice that this man could always anger her with just a few words and make her emotions fluctuate.

  “I won’t let you have your way.” Ling Hui pulled her hand away from her waist. “Let’s meet again in a week. I still have something to settle here. The Ye family is coming to propose marriage and I will be very busy during this period.”


  Since she had agreed, Tang Xi was not in a hurry.

  “Alright, we’ll do it whenever the Princess says. The Princess should get ready as well. You can live in the capital for a month then.”


  Ling Hui hummed and got up from his lap. She got out of the car and waved at him, indicating that she was going upstairs.

  Tang Xi looked at her back and lowered the car window, calling her, “Princess.”


  Ling Hui turned back. “Is there anything else?”


  Tang Xi pointed at Ling Hui’s long legs that were exposed outside. “Don’t wear such clothes when we’re together.”


  Ling Hui was speechless. “Young Master Tang, you’ve had many girlfriends before. I remember that you liked sexy young models for a period of time. The hot pants they wore were much shorter than mine.”


  A devilish smile appeared on Tang Xi’s lips. “If you like it, you can wear it in front of me.”


  Ling Hui could not help but roll her eyes.

  This fellow was starting to care about what she wore before they were even together!

  Ling Hui returned to the apartment and found that Gu Meng had come over. She was standing on the balcony and when she saw Ling Hui return, her smile was a little ambiguous. “Sister Ling Hui, is that your new boyfriend downstairs?”


  Ling Hui didn’t hide anything and told the truth, “I guess so, but we’ll be apart after only dating for a month.”


  “Could that man be Young Master Tang?” These few days, Gu Meng and Ling Hui spent a lot of time together. The only person who could make Sister Ling Hui agree to date him for a month was probably Tang Xi.

  At the mention of Tang Xi’s name, Ling Hui thought of what he had done to her in the car and could not help but feel embarrassed. “Yes, it’s that shameless fellow.”
……

  Three days later.

  The Queen and Ye Qing came to Y Country with rich betrothal gifts and were full of sincerity as they met with Dai Xuan.

  Gu Meng was not at the scene at that time and did not know what they had said. She only knew that they had talked for several hours before they finally decided on the date of their marriage.

  The Queen stayed in Y Country for two days. Before she left, she invited Dai Xuan to visit S Country.

  Apart from accepting the Queen’s invitation, Dai Xuan had arranged two days of private time. She also wanted to see the Gu family who had raised Gu Meng.

  After the schedule was arranged, Dai Xuan brought Gu Meng and Ling Hui to S Country.

  She went to S Country’s royal family first and had dinner with the Queen, the royal couple, Ye Fengjun, and Ye Qing.

  After dinner, Dai Xuan and Gu Meng went to the Royal Hospital.

  Gu Meng had never told Dai Xuan about the evil things that Mother Gu had done to her. She was not one to hold grudges. In the Gu family, Father Gu and Gu Che treated her like family. She would not draw the line with them just because she had acknowledged her biological mother.

  To Mrs Gu, Gu Jiao’s death was the biggest blow and punishment!

  Gu Meng brought Dai Xuan to Father Gu’s ward.

  Before she could go in, she heard a loud roar from behind her. “You brat, how dare you come here! You killed my Jiaojiao, return my daughter to me!”


  When Mrs Gu saw Gu Meng, she pounced at her crazily.

  The bodyguard quickly stopped Mrs Gu. “What are you doing?”


  Mrs Gu was pushed to the ground by the bodyguard. She thought that the bodyguard was Gu Meng’s new backer and said with red eyes, “Why are you protecting her? Don’t be deceived by her appearance. She’s a jinx. Whoever gets involved with her will be unlucky. She killed my daughter. The next one might be you……”


  Mrs Gu was about to say something when a cold and dignified voice interrupted her. “Enough!”


  Dai Xuan turned around and looked at Mrs Gu, who was sitting on the floor. “Was this how you treated my daughter all these years?”


  Mrs Gu looked at the woman standing not too far away. She was wearing a custom-made suit and her hair was tied into a bun. She looked extremely noble and elegant. Her tongue was slightly tied. “What…… daughter? You mean, Gu Meng is your daughter?”
