Chapter 361 His Thoughts!
"What's there to be unsure about?" A clear male voice, tinged with a hint of coldness, rang out, startling Liu Tingting into a daze!
"It seems that your Mu family is quite concerned about my taking a concubine?" Duanmu Chuze said with a half-smile.
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him, her face stiff, and said, "Do whatever you want, who can control you, the dignified Prince Chang Le? My sister just spoke carelessly. If Your Highness thinks what she said is wrong, you can simply pretend you didn't hear it."
When Duanmu Chuze saw her like this, he knew she was angry, but he couldn't bring himself to blame the concubine, so he could only use Liu Tingting's words as a reference.
"But I clearly heard it, how can you pretend I didn't hear it?"
When Duanmu Chuze said this, his eyebrows looked cold and hard, and the lines on his face did not show his usual gentleness, which really startled Liu Tingting.
"Someone, my sister is a little tired. Please take Miss Biao back to rest."
"Yes, ma'am."
Liu Tingting didn't want to leave, but after meeting Mu Xinnuan's assertive gaze, she knew she had no choice but to go.
"Mu Qing, I'm tired and need to take a short rest. No one is allowed to come in and disturb me."
"Yes, Miss." Mu Qing suppressed a laugh. Having followed her mistress for so long, how could she not know that her mistress was clearly deliberately trying to embarrass the prince?
Duanmu Chuze had only said it casually, never expecting Mu Xinnuan to actually get angry. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve, and said in a pleading tone, "Anuan, I was wrong. I was just talking nonsense because you said so. Please don't be angry."
"Angry? What are you angry about?" Mu Xin Nuan turned to look at him innocently. "Your Highness has made a mistake, hasn't he? This humble woman is truly exhausted. Oh, right, I almost forgot, Your Highness, this is the inner quarters, not a place for you. Someone, escort Your Highness out."
"Yes, ma'am."
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, she abruptly flicked her sleeves and entered the house without looking back.
Duanmu Chuze was left standing there, frozen in place, looking utterly helpless. Seeing Mu Qing and Mu Hua approaching, they gestured for him to proceed, to which Duanmu Chuze simply bared his teeth!
"Step aside!"
The two exchanged a glance, but dared not move aside. They said cautiously, "Your Highness, as you can see, Miss is in a bad mood right now, don't you think?"
"Of course I know that. It's precisely because I know she's angry that you actually believe what she's saying right now? If I really leave, I'm afraid your young lady won't calm down for at least three to five days."
As Duanmu Chuze spoke, he rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled, and put one hand on his hip, as if he were in a difficult position.
Mu Hua pursed her lips. "Well, Your Highness, you may go in, but what about Miss's place?"
"Don't worry! If she doesn't calm down today, I won't come out."
After saying that, he took a deep breath, with an air of fearlessness, as if he were going to the battlefield and never to return, and strode into the house.
The two people outside breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, Mu Qing reacted a beat slower and said, "This is Yuexuan, the young lady's boudoir. How can a prince not come out?"
After he finished speaking, the two realized that they had been fooled by the prince's words. In fact, they would have been really worried if the prince hadn't come out.
But now that everyone's inside, it's no use for them to be anxious or regretful. Fine, they'll just stay outside and keep watch!
Mu Xin Nuan lay on the couch and naturally heard Duanmu Chu Ze's footsteps as he entered. Her brows furrowed. "What are you doing in here? Get out of here."
"Anuan, you really are heartless! I came to see you last night to tell you about the concubine, but you went to bed early. I was worried you would go to bed too early tonight, so I came to see you during the day instead. I didn't expect you to be so angry as soon as we met!"
Mu Xin Nuan snorted and closed her eyes, ignoring him.
Duanmu Chuze wasn't annoyed. Instead, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "Anuan's reaction is so strong, could it be that she's jealous?"
Unfortunately, such a provocation was completely ineffective against Mu Xin Nuan; she didn't even blink.
"Anuan, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Crown Princess. That Xie Yilin won't marry into the Chang Le Prince's Mansion. At least not now."
Mu Xin Nuan still ignored him, as if she were truly asleep.
"Anuan, the Empress Dowager wants to arrange a concubine for me, and I have no choice. I've already said I don't want to take a concubine, but the Empress Dowager won't agree no matter what I say, so what can I do?"
After Duanmu Chuze finished speaking with a grin, he saw that Mu Xin Nuan on the bed still had no reaction at all, and he knew that this time he had probably really touched a sore spot.
"Sigh!" Duanmu Chuze sighed heavily and sat down on her couch, close to her body, which made her brows furrow even more, and then she moved her body to the side.
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Chuze's face lit up with joy, and he sat back a little further. Although Mu Xin Nuan was unhappy, she still didn't open her eyes, only shifting her body further to the side.
Just as Mu Xin Nuan felt she had nowhere to retreat, she became annoyed and was about to lose her temper when she felt the man's aura beside her suddenly become stronger. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a strong hand wrap around her shoulder.
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly annoyed. After struggling a few times to no avail, she could only grit her teeth and glare at the instigator, "Duanmu Chu Ze, what exactly do you want? Men and women should not touch each other, yet you are lying in my bed now?"
Seeing her anger, Duanmu Chuze was in a good mood. He put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh! Not on the bed, but on the couch! Besides, Anuan, you're talking so loudly. Are you worried that no one will notice what's going on between us?"
Mu Xin Nuan stiffened, while Duanmu Chu Ze chuckled softly, "Ah Nuan, you really are adorable!"
Mu Xin Nuan wanted to ignore him, but the pleasant, slightly refreshing scent emanating from the man stirred ripples in her heart. She bit her lip lightly but still didn't say anything to him.
"Anuan, I've said it before, I'll only have you as my wife for the rest of my life, and I will definitely keep my word. Don't rush me, give me some time, I'll arrange everything. I will absolutely not let you suffer the slightest grievance."
