Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 788 - Chapter 788 Chapter 788 Whoever Dares to Oppose My Wife This

Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Whoever Dares to Oppose My Wife, This King Will Take Her Down Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Whoever Dares to Oppose My Wife, This King Will Take Her Down Xuexue was somewhat annoyed. This War Prince, who did he think he was? Just because he saved her once, he thought he could lecture her at will?

That was far too arrogant and conceited.

“The Prince is a busy man, you needn’t trouble yourself over my affairs,” Xuexue said indifferently, with a hint of burning bridges after crossing the river.

Zi Xia, standing beside her, was shocked. Her young mistress was too bold, not even considering the War Prince significant.

Long Rui frowned at her, thinking to himself that his lady’s temper had grown larger in the few months they hadn’t seen each other.

He glared at her, not saying a word, hesitating in his heart whether he should reveal his identity to Xuexue.

The unsuspecting Xuexue thought this War Prince was trying to oppress her, so she matched his intensity without falling back, staring back at him with spirited eyes. However, no matter how hard she stared, she could only see a cold mask and a pair of deep eyes.

Yet, in those deep eyes, that trace of concern was so genuine. As Xuexue gazed, a faint sense of familiarity surged in her heart.

Why did the War Prince’s gaze resemble Big Bull’s so much?

Immediately after, Xuexue shook her head, murmuring to herself, “Impossible, impossible.”

“Miss Situ?”

Xuexue looked at herself in a daze, Long Rui was very worried. Could it be that she had been frightened by Noble Consort Wang?

“Miss Situ, are you alright?” Long Rui instinctively reached out to touch her forehead.

With Long Rui’s touch, Xuexue instantly snapped back to reality. Big Bull was so honest and naive, completely different from the War Prince. Realizing this, she quickly stepped back and distanced herself, saying, “Your Highness, men and women should not touch each other. Please keep to yourself.”

Long Rui felt a bit dejected as he withdrew his hand.

It was alright. His lady had not recognized him yet, and her resistance was normal.

Xuexue: “Zi Xia, let’s go back.”

“Yes.”

As Xuexue and Zi Xia were leaving the Imperial Garden, Xuexue turned her head and said, “War Prince, when will you take our younger sister away?”

Long Rui’s voice was filled with amusement as he countered, “Miss, when would you like this Prince to take her?”

“The sooner, the better, to save me from trouble,” Xuexue said as she walked away. In reality, she hadn’t really expected the War Prince to take Situtu Qinger away–it was just a casual inquiry.

Xuexue’s and her servant’s figures had just disappeared when Long Yi came out of hiding.

“Master, the young mistress is so resistant to you. Why not tell her your identity?”

“No, our current situation is threatened by internal and external dangers. To prevent the worst-case scenario, let’s talk about it later,” Long Rui replied gravely. Despite the outward splendor of the War Prince, the War Prince’s Mansion had long been a thorn in the Emperor’s side.

As for him, the War Prince, the Emperor had tried to harm him several times, and a few months back, when murder attempts had failed, the Emperor spread rumors while he was out of the Capital, claiming that the War Prince had met his fate in an effort to seize his military power.

Luckily, his timely return to the Capital thwarted the Emperor’s plot.

Thwarted once, the Emperor hatched another scheme.

He specifically trained two female assassins and, under the guise of sending beauties, sent them into the War Prince’s Mansion.

Now, the War Prince’s Mansion was like walking on thin ice.

Outsiders saw the endless splendor of the War Prince’s Mansion, but in reality, it was full of crises, with many insiders actually being the Emperor’s spies.

He and Xuexue’s affair must certainly not be known to the Emperor.

Otherwise, General Situ’s Mansion would face utter destruction.

Long Yi: “Then you also can’t take her sister as your wife, can you?”

Long Rui declared dominantly, “That’s not called taking as a wife but claiming. If anyone dares to oppose my lady, this Prince will claim her and see how she reacts.”
