The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 169

Yu Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go to the kitchen with you to eat." He then took Ru Feng's hand.

Ru Feng glanced at her grandfather, who was talking to someone, and hesitated whether to tell him. Yu Xuan, however, said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to tell the old general." With that, he pulled on Ru Feng's sleeve and was about to walk out.

Some sharp-eyed people present noticed something: it seemed that the Yuchi family had indeed sided with the Second and Third Princes, as evidenced by the close relationship between Yuchi Rufeng and the Third Prince.

On the other side, the crown prince's eyes darkened upon seeing this, but he only regained his composure and returned to his original elegant and harmless demeanor after being reminded by those around him.

As Ru Feng hesitated about whether to go out, she was already being pulled away by Yu Xuan against her will.

On the way to the kitchen, Ru Feng looked around, finding everything new and interesting. As they passed a shady spot, the light suddenly dimmed, and Ru Feng was suddenly pulled into Yu Xuan's arms.

Ru Feng was stunned.

Volume 3, Chapter 133: A Forced Kiss (Description of a Heartless Yet Compassionate Path)

"What do you want to do?" Ru Feng hissed.

Yu Xuan, however, disregarded everything and bent down to nibble on Ru Feng's lips without any rhyme or reason.

Ru Feng was almost completely dizzy. What was going on? Her first reaction was to push Yu Xuan away, but she found that the arm holding her was so strong, the embrace was so broad, and the lips that were pressed against her were so hot...

The difference between men and women! Ru Feng had come to a profound realization!

Ru Feng struggled for a while and then stopped moving, just standing straight with her eyes wide open. In the darkness, Yu Xuan's expression was not visible, but it was clear that he had closed his eyes.

His kiss was so urgent, passionate, joyful, and uneasy… it conveyed a wealth of unspoken messages. From his kiss, Ru Feng discovered some issues she had always overlooked…

Does Yuxuan really have those kinds of feelings for me?

Finally, when Ru Feng's hands were sore and weak, Yu Xuan stopped, not looking at his side, his bright eyes fixed on Ru Feng, and he said in a trembling voice, "Ru Feng!"

Ru Feng struggled to push him away, wiping her lips. To be honest, Yu Xuan's kissing skills were much better than Mu Wenchen's, making it easy to become intoxicated. But as soon as she thought about how he had earned this kiss through countless battles, Ru Feng lost all interest in him. Besides, she didn't like him.

"Have you had enough? Let me go!" Ru Feng hissed.

“Ru Feng, I like you, I really like you, even though you are just a man. Ru Feng, I can give you what your royal uncle can’t. I’m just a carefree prince, I can accompany you to travel and do what you like. These are things your royal uncle can’t give you.” Yu Xuan’s voice was urgent and deep, almost whispering in Ru Feng’s ear.

Ru Feng's mind was in complete chaos. Yu Xuan actually had feelings for her!

Ru Feng rubbed her temples and waved her hand, saying, "Enough, I want to go back. Let's leave it at that. I like Mu Wenchen, not you." Despite her surprise, Ru Feng made herself clear. Although Yu Xuan's words did move her, even knowing he was a man, in today's society, for someone to say such things meant either a lie or that he was deeply in love. Sigh!

Yu Xuan grabbed Ru Feng's hand urgently, his voice trembling slightly: "Can't you give me a chance?"

Ru Feng sighed softly, looked at Yu Xuan, and said, "Xuan, you have always been dashing and charming, with countless female admirers. Perhaps today's events were just a momentary lapse of judgment. Let's just let it go. This is the palace, and there are spies everywhere. If you don't want us to get into trouble, we'd better separate now."

Yu Xuan refused: "This is inside a rockery, no one will see us. My guards are watching from the shadows. Ru Feng, we need to make things clear today. I really like you, even love you. I don't want to see you with the Imperial Uncle anymore." As he finished speaking, his voice changed from jealousy and hatred to gentleness. "Ru Feng, you don't know how amazed and happy I was when I saw you by the palace gate tonight. I even thought about taking you home immediately and hiding your face, or making you ugly, so no one could see you."

Ru Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I am a man, and perhaps you are only attracted to my appearance." In the past, she had always been proud of her appearance because she had never been so beautiful in modern times. But in this life, she was fortunate to have such a good appearance, so she took great care of it. She never expected that this would attract Yu Xuan, her love interest.

"No, that won't happen. If it were, that would be even better. I could search all over the country and I'm sure I could find someone as good-looking as you. But, Rufeng, I don't just like your appearance; I like you as a person even more." Yuxuan said, pulling Rufeng into his arms again.

Ru Feng shook his head, stopping him, and said, "You'd better not do this. I'll let your rudeness go, but I won't be polite next time. I don't care if it attracts attention."

Yu Xuan paused for a moment, but still held Ru Feng's hand and whispered, "Ru Feng, do you remember? The first time I went to your house. I was six years old and you were three. You kissed me then."

Ru Feng sighed and said, "We were young then, and I just wanted to play a prank. It doesn't mean anything."

“I don’t think so. When we were in the academy, we drew lots and ended up in the same room, so we are destined to be together. Besides, I knew you before my uncle,” he retorted, with an unyielding determination.

Ru Feng was speechless. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so she was clumsy in handling it. Moreover, Yu Xuan was not a stranger; he was her friend, a very good friend to her.

"Let me think about it some more," Ru Feng finally sighed, wanting to go back and discuss it further.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan said with delight, "Okay, okay, go back and think about it carefully. Maybe you'll find that you actually like me. Actually, I don't ask for much. I just hope you can give me a chance. Don't hate me. What my royal uncle can't do, I can do."

Ru Feng could only nod silently, and walked out of the artificial hill with Yu Xuan, returning to the light. The darkness just now seemed like an unreal dream, but the stinging on her lips constantly reminded her of what had just happened.

Yu Xuan looked at Ru Feng with some unease. He wanted to take Ru Feng's hand, but seeing his cold face, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He could only try to change the subject and said, "Ru Feng, would you like to come to my residence sometime? I have something to show you."

Ru Feng turned her head to look at him, her tone somewhat sarcastic, and said, "No need, I'm afraid I'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

Yu Xuan froze instantly, his ambition so blatantly exposed... so all he could say was, "How could I do such a thing? Hehe, I would never do such a thing."

Ru Feng glanced at him sideways. She knew Yu Xuan's character roughly. Although he wasn't a bad person, he was usually determined to get what he wanted. Back at the academy, he had his eye on a classmate's painting materials. He used various means to eventually take away the classmate's ancestral paints, even though the classmate was willing. Ru Feng felt that his methods were not honorable, probably because he had grown up in the royal family.

"This is like trying to hide something obvious; don't bother explaining."

Yu Xuan could only sigh, glancing at Ru Feng from time to time. Ru Feng walked without looking to the side. When the two occasionally encountered palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, Ru Feng would subconsciously lower her head when they bowed to Yu Xuan.

Ru Feng was escorted back to the General's Mansion by Yu Xuan. Ru Feng frowned and pondered all the way, walking into the mansion in a daze, ignoring the calls of the steward and servants.

It wasn't until Lin Yilan's scream woke her up: "Rufeng, what's wrong?"

A high-pitched female voice came from behind her. Ru Feng tossed her head, looked at Lin Yilan, and said, "Mother, what's wrong? I'm fine!" She shook her head, exhaled, and looked at the tall banyan tree in the yard.

Lin Yilan rushed forward, pulled Ru Feng's head down, stared sharply at him for a moment, and shrieked, "Tell me, what happened to your lips? Why are they swollen?"

Startled, Ru Feng reached out and touched it, only then realizing something was wrong. No wonder it stung! Thinking this, Ru Feng cursed under his breath. Damn it, wasn't that guy supposed to be a master kisser? How did he still manage to hurt me?

Yu Chisong was also now in a difficult position. He walked over with a serious expression and asked, "Ru Feng, what happened? Have you run into some trouble?"

Lin Yilan suddenly asked, "Could it be... could it be a man who did it?" Her face showed a mixture of joy and worry. She was happy that her daughter might be able to get married, but worried that what if that person was gay and that's why he fell in love with Rufeng?

“No matter what, something’s not right.” Yu Chi Song looked at Ru Feng’s lips and said, “That man was really rude.”

"Hmph, you call others rude, but aren't you the same?" Lin Yilan retorted.

Yu Chisong blushed immediately, looking at Ru Feng with embarrassment.
