After her wrist was grabbed by Tang Xi, Ling Hui’s body was thrown onto the railing of the garden’s balcony.

  They were on the seventh floor and the railing was not high. If she had not grabbed onto the railing in time, she might have fallen backwards.

  Ling Hui was never a good-tempered person and she immediately got angry.

  Her beautiful face was ashen and she was like an angry beast, pushing her hands toward the man.

  But before she could touch him, he pushed her again.

  Her back hit the railing hard.

  Her skin was soft and tender and had probably been bruised.

  Ling Hui’s heart sank.

  Was this how much he liked her?

  The night breeze blew and Ling Hui’s eyes were teary.

  She did not want to argue with him, nor did she want to look at him again. Her expression darkened as she prepared to leave.

  But like before, she had only taken two steps before he grabbed her tightly.

  “Let go!”


  His palm was dry and warm, his grip strong. The more she struggled, the more he refused to let go.

  Ling Hui was completely angered by him. She raised her other hand, wanting to swing it at his face. He grabbed her wrist quickly and pushed her back. Her back was pressed against the railing again.

  He let go of her wrist and grabbed the railing on both sides of her body with both hands. His grip was strong and the veins on the back of his hand were popping out.

  He seemed to be holding back some emotions, his chest heaving slightly.

  “Why were you looking for the Ninth Prince?”


  His handsome face approached her and their noses were about to touch. Under the dim yellow light, she could see her own reflection in his slender eyes.

  Ling Hui was cold and arrogant. The more he tried to go hard on her, the more she refused to give in.

  “It’s none of your business why I was looking for the Ninth Prince!”


  Tang Xi smiled devilishly and coldly. “Princess, don’t anger me.”


  Ling Hui raised her eyebrows slightly. “Otherwise? Do you want to strangle me or rape me?”


  The woman’s bright and beautiful eyes stared straight at him. She was stubborn and fierce, like a little beast that had not been tamed and was full of thorns.

  Tang Xi’s eyes darkened and his hands on the railing suddenly grabbed her waist, lifting her up without warning.

  Before Ling Hui could react, she was lifted onto the railing.

  Her legs suddenly hung in the air and there was a seven-story tall building behind him. Ling Hui’s pupils constricted in fear. “Tang Xi, you’re crazy!”


  She did not want to die yet, so she wrapped her arms around his neck instinctively.

  She wanted to get down, but he held onto her waist and refused to let go.

  “Princess, if you don’t tell the truth, we’ll jump down from here together.”


  Ling Hui was angry and afraid. Her beautiful red lips trembled. “I didn’t do anything with the Ninth Prince. He drank the wine I made and got drunk. If you don’t believe me, go take a look at the wine tasting room.”


  Tang Xi smirked evilly. “Why were you looking for him?”


  Ling Hui did not want to tell him the true reason. However, she was sitting on the railing now and could fall down anytime. It was extremely dangerous. She suppressed the anger and fear in her heart and told him everything. “For my father. The Ninth Prince has a life-saving pill.”


  Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly. “Did you get it?”


  Ling Hui pursed her red lips and her voice darkened. “No, he gave the last one to his sister.”


  Tang Xi narrowed his bright eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

  Ling Hui patted his shoulder. “Are you satisfied with my answer? If you are, put me down!”


  “He touched your waist.” Tang Xi looked at her, his eyes serious.

  Ling Hui almost laughed from anger.

  “Your hands have touched countless women’s waists.”


  Tang Xi smirked. “After I got together with you, I only touched your waist.”


  “It’s normal to hug someone’s waist when dancing. I didn’t let him to do anything else.”


  “I don’t believe you.” His large hand caressed her fair and delicate face, his handsome face moving closer to her. “Kiss me.”


  The light around him was dim and half of his face was in the light, his facial features smooth and charming.

  Her gaze landed on his sexy lips.

  She did not know if it was because of the light and the environment, or because he was too exquisite and devilish, but she suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.

  Ling Hui looked away and did not look at him. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it. Put me down!”


  “We haven’t kissed yet……”


  “I won’t kiss you!” She glared at him angrily.

  “Then I’ll kiss you.” He lifted his lips, his handsome face approaching her.

  Her soft red lips were attacked by his.

  Although they had not interacted for long, this man’s kisses were always aggressive and scary.

  Ling Hui widened her eyes, her long eyelashes brushing over the man’s handsome face like a small brush, tickling his skin.

  The man’s low and hoarse voice sounded. “Princess, close your eyes.”


  Ling Hui seemed to be under his curse. Her long eyelashes lowered and the temperature between their lips slowly rose.

  Just as he pried open her teeth and was about to enter, Ling Hui jolted awake.

  What had happened to her just now?

  Had she almost lost herself in Tang Xi’s kiss?

  Ling Hui was suddenly afraid. She was sure that she would not have any feelings for Tang Xi after a month.

  But after that kiss, she was not sure anymore.

  As if provoked by something, Ling Hui pushed Tang Xi’s shoulders with all of her strength.

  Tang Xi saw the panic and disgust in her eyes and his passionate heart gradually cooled down.

  “You don’t like my kiss?”


  “Tang Xi, I came today to get the antidote for my father. I’m not in the mood to be intimate with you. Can you respect me a little?”


  Tang Xi put Ling Hui down. “Princess, have you never cared about my feelings? If I didn’t force you, you wouldn’t even be willing to explain why you came to find the Ninth Prince and would let me misunderstand you, right?”


  Ling Hui looked at Tang Xi’s frowning handsome face. “Since you know that, why do you have to ask? I only agreed to be with you for a month. I didn’t say that I would tell you whatever I was thinking.”


  “Tang Xi, I told you long ago that I won’t fall for any man easily. If you feel uncomfortable or tired being with me, we can end our agreement early!”


  Tang Xi looked at Ling Hui’s cold and emotionless eyes and his heart tightened slightly, as if an invisible hand had grabbed it, making it difficult for him to breathe.

  “The Tenth Princess confessed to me tonight.”


  Hearing Tang Xi’s words, Ling Hui froze for a second before her red lips curled into a smile. “That’s pretty good. It proves that you’re very charming.”


  “You want me to be with her so that you can get rid of me in advance?”


  Ling Hui frowned. “I didn’t say that. But if you want to be with her, I have no objections.”


  These words were like a long knife that stabbed deeply into Tang Xi’s heart.
