e tumbled straight into a deep pool. The icy water sent a jolt through her, clearing her hazy consciousness somewhat."Who" Su Qingying had just emerged from the depths of the pond when a chilling voic...Su Qingying and the other person were not far apart, so he heard every word Zhao Tianyu said.

He pursed his thin lips, a complex emotion swirling within him. To say he wasn't touched would be a lie.

"Tianyu, your father is really good to you." He's more than just good, he's incredibly kind. Su Qingying's eyes welled up, as if blinded by sand, so much so that she almost wanted to cry. She suddenly missed her own father.

"Hmph, that old geezer," Zhao Tianyu snorted arrogantly. Although his face showed disdain, the corner of his mouth had a suspicious upward curve, which he couldn't suppress at all.

Seeing the deep affection unconsciously revealed by Zhao Jin, Shangguan Jinghong's expression was dazed for a moment, she pursed her lips and remained silent. A warm current flowed in her heart, causing her heart to tremble slightly.

He suddenly felt a pang of jealousy towards Zhao Tianyu, he had never experienced such paternal love. His father emperor would never look at him with such affection...

Just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly remembered Su Qingying's repeated warnings. In order not to reveal anything, she could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She turned her face away and ignored him directly, her expression seeming to carry a hint of displeasure.

"Hiss—" Witnessing his obvious display of anger, the surrounding audience couldn't help but gasp and hold their breath, nervously wiping cold sweat from their brows for him.

Even the emperor's face isn't spared, this second prince is truly becoming more and more arrogant!

However, the emperor who was publicly ignored and disrespected by his unfilial son did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he smiled gleefully and squinted his eyes, looking quite pleased. There seemed to be a hint of relief in his expression, leaving everyone dumbfounded with their jaws dropping.

That's it! That rebellious attitude is just like his son! A good boy, bah! All that is just a fantasy, nonexistent!

It was getting late, don't miss the auspicious time. Master of Ceremonies, begin! Zhao Jin sat on her place at the high platform and eagerly urged the dumbfounded master of ceremonies to start the wedding ceremony.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the emcee bowed and immediately perked up, clearing his throat. He loudly proclaimed, "The auspicious time has arrived! The groom and bride, bow to the high altar."

Shangguan Jinghong and Xuanyuan Rongfei each held one end of a large crimson silk cloth, almost simultaneously bowing to Zhao Jin.

"Bow twice to heaven and earth."

The two bowed to each other, then bowed once again to the heavens and earth.

"Bow to each other as husband and wife."

Slowly, Shangguan turned to face the other person, his eyes twinkling with a flirtatious and charming smile.

Rong Fei, this time, we'll officially be considered married. For the rest of your life, you will always be my Shangguan Jing Hong's wife!

"The ceremony is complete, she's being sent to the bridal chamber."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly scooped up Xuen Yuan Rongfei in her arms, ignoring the murmurs and gasps of astonishment from the crowd. She strode swiftly towards the bridal chamber.

Zhao Jin was slightly taken aback, her dark eyes flickering with suspicion.

Strange, wasn't this kid quite resistant to the marriage before How come he's acting like a changed person now He's practically eager to get into the bridal chamber, like he hasn't seen a woman in centuries.

On the other side, Shangguan Jinghong carried Xuanyuan Rongfei back to their bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.

"Rong'er…" Looking down at her red bridal headdress, Shangguan Jinghong didn't reach out to uncover it immediately. He murmured softly, picked up her hand and gently placed a kiss on it.

"Second, Second Prince," Xuanyuan Rongfei exclaimed, quickly retracting her hand, her heart pounding nervously.

"I'm not the second prince, take a good look and see who I really am" Hearing her call out to another man, Shangguan Jinghong gritted his teeth with displeasure and sourly lifted her red bridal veil.

"Ah! Shang, Shangguan Jinghong How could it be you!" Xuanyuan Rongfei's eyes widened in surprise, her clear and beautiful eyes reflecting his handsome face.

"Seeing me, you're disappointed" He didn't miss the fleeting anger in her eyes. Shangguan Jinghong's voice suddenly turned cold.

She was stunned for a moment, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei silently retreated a few steps, almost as if her every move was visible in his pitch-black eyes. Uncomfortably, she turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, biting her lower lip and staying silent.

"Why agree to marry into the Nanjiang clan" He grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him. Shangguan Jinghong's voice was laced with suppressed anger.

Under his questioning, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei lowered her head, hiding the tears that flickered in her eyes. Her voice was cold and chilling, "Why Shangguan Jing Hong, what are you to me Why question me This Xuan Yuan Rong Fei has nothing to do with you anymore. Who I marry has nothing to do with you."

“What do you want from me Xuan Yuan Rong Fei, haven't you forgotten who you belong to now” A rage burned in her heart. Shangguan Jing Hong’s handsome face turned black with fury as he gripped her shoulders tightly, his anger uncontainable.

Feeling a sharp pain in her shoulders, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei instinctively frowned and struggled to break free from his ironclad restraint. She glared at him with coldness and anger, "That time I was drunk, I don't remember what happened. You don't need to bring it up again, just leave."

"Forgotten Good, very good. Since you've forgotten, this palace will let you remember again. Last time, you were drunk and unconscious. This time, I want you to remember this feeling forever!" Her eyes darkened, Shangguan Jinghong laughed angrily, her voice cold as smoke. The chilling smile on the corner of her lips terrified Xuan Yuan Rongfei to the extreme.

He pressed her down on the bed without mercy, roughly tearing at her wedding dress. Her delicate hairpins fell loose and scattered around her.

A chill went through her chest, Xuan Yuan Rongfei hurriedly reached out to block, "Shangguan Jinghong, what are you going to do... um..."

With her hands held high above her head, all her words were silenced by his lips. His kiss was brutal, laced with fury.

All night long, no matter how much Xuan Yuan Rong Fei cried and begged for mercy, Shangguan Jing Hong was determined to torment her, unwilling to let her go. He clung to her relentlessly.

Xuan Yuan Rongfei could no longer bear the pressure, her waist felt like it had been broken, she was utterly exhausted and fainted. She didn't wake up until the sun began to set the next day.

My whole body aches, remembering his madness and ruthlessness last night, Xuen Yuan Rong Fei couldn't help but cry out in grievance, "Ugh, Shangguan Jing Hong, you bastard, you only know how to bully me. Back then, when you took my innocence, didn't you say you wanted to be responsible What is this now"

Her eyes were red and swollen, her long eyelashes covered with a layer of crystal-like water vapor, looking just like a pitiful little rabbit. Seeing this, Shangguan Jinghong's heart was filled with deep sympathy.

"When did I ever say I wasn't responsible" Shangguan Jinghong pinched her small face, raising his handsome eyebrows with a nonchalant look.

In a fit of rage, Xuanyuan Rongfei slammed his hand away, leaving red welts on his back. "But you clearly left the Heavenly Realm that day..."

"Silly girl, that's because I took advantage of you while you were drunk. I don't know how to face you after you sober up. I left so I could give you some time to cool off." A smirk played on his lips as Shangguan Jinghong completely ignored the pain in his hand. He squeezed her cheek again, rubbing it with his thumb.

This girl's touch is so good, how come he didn't notice it before

"Are you serious" Xuen Yuan Rongfei stared at him with tear-filled eyes, her gaze flickering.be arrogant once in a while, isn't it But you, who didn't even come close to winning yet insist on provoking me like this. You're not even smart enough to understand your own foolishness! What gives y...
