Chapter 248: Chapter 248 - 240: You’re Kicking Me Out for Him?

...

The next morning.

Yun Han woke up naked from the bed.

He held his forehead, his head throbbing with pain. In a daze, he turned his head and saw the beautiful female sleeping soundly beside him, his movements instantly froze.

Fragments of memories from last night flooded back like a tide.

He remembered getting drunk last night and running to the Princess Mansion to find Shen Qingli in the middle of the night, but everything afterwards became a blur. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall what happened next until...

Yun Han’s stunned gaze fell on Shen Qingli, seeing the marks left on her snowy skin, and smelling the lingering scent in the air. It was crystal clear what they did last night, and his heart was filled with shock and bewilderment. He hadn’t intended... how could he have lost control so suddenly?

But regardless of what happened, it had already happened.

Moreover, Qingli was his chosen partner, and it didn’t make much difference whether it was now or half a month later.

Yet Yun Han’s heart remained puzzled, with a hint of unusual emotion even he couldn’t recognize, which he soon brushed aside.

"Brother Yun Han, you’re awake." Shen Qingli woke up with a shy and bashful face, revealing a different kind of charm.

Yun Han’s Adam’s apple rolled, just about to say something, when the headache struck him again!

Shen Qingli knew it was the aftereffect from the use of the spray, she quickly got dressed and comforted him softly, "You got drunk last night, I’ll go get you some sobering soup."

After speaking, she got out of bed and left.

Just as Shen Qingli stepped outside, she ran into the brown-haired male slave coming towards her.

She looked surprised, "Mo Qi, why are you here?"

Mo Qi didn’t rush to answer her but instead, his deep gaze fell on her disheveled collar, noticing the faint traces of the previous night’s intimacy.

His face darkened slightly, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, casting a glance inside the hall.

Deep dissatisfaction and overwhelming confusion.

Didn’t the two of them have a big fight last night, promising to part ways?

Why was it different from what he imagined?

Did they make up so suddenly after last night?

A cold laugh echoed within Mo Qi’s heart, he heard that this Young Master Yun was supposed to be incredibly proud, yet so easily coaxed? Unbelievable!

The sinister emotions within were hidden well, not appearing on the surface, as Mo Qi smiled with gentle elegance, speaking softly, "It’s getting late, I noticed that you hadn’t gotten up yet, so I wanted to ask if there’s anything you’d like to eat. I’ll prepare it."

Seeing Mo Qi being so considerate, Shen Qingli felt a touch of unnaturalness.

She pursed her lips, forcing a smile, "No need to prepare food. Oh, by the way, call all the male servants in the mansion. I have something to tell you all."

Observing Shen Qingli’s slightly distant expression, a sense of foreboding flashed through Mo Qi’s heart, but he asked nothing, simply nodded and went to gather all the male servants in the mansion to a remote courtyard.

Shen Qingli instructed them not to mention what happened last night and gave them a considerable amount of money, ordering them to leave the Princess Mansion and never return.

The male slaves kneeled down one after another, reluctant to leave.

Most of them hadn’t come to the Princess Mansion for money, they genuinely wanted to serve the beautiful and noble princess, even without any title, just staying close to her was enough for them.

A young male beast with green curls hugged her leg, pleading bitterly, "Your Highness, I’ve served beside you for so long, please don’t drive me away! I don’t want to leave you! I’ll do anything as long as I can stay by your side!"

Shen Qingli showed a hint of apology on her face, but deep in her eyes, a flash of annoyance at being pestered passed.

After this lesson, she became wiser, never allowing another mishap to happen!

Besides, now that she had Yun Han, these male slaves were of no use, leaving them would only pose a threat, better to get rid of them early on.

Mo Qi watched Shen Qingli closely, naturally seeing the shift in her emotions.

Instantly, his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

He’d known for a long time Shen Qingli was a flirtatious and heartless female.

But it wasn’t until this moment that he truly understood they meant nothing to her, disposable like old shoes.

Perhaps driven by a sense of unwillingness, Mo Qi stepped forward, looking into her eyes, and knelt with a thud.

The man lowered his head, his back straight like a pine, brown hair covering his amber eyes, his voice low and restrained, "Your Highness, I’ve been with you for thirteen years, longer than Yun Han has known you!"

"For you, I willingly became a male slave, never asking for any status... Are you really going to ruthlessly cast me aside for him?"

When Shen Qingli looked at Mo Qi, a flicker of hesitation crossed her face.

When she was still wandering outside, not yet taken back to the Imperial Palace, Mo Qi was always by her side, taking care of her.

She had promised to make him her Beast Husband, even to be the first.

But now, she was the dignified Empire Princess, no longer the nameless rural civilian female, Mo Qi’s talent was only an ordinary B-level, merely an early strategy target to deal with emergencies, how could he be worthy of someone like her now?

Promises from those days naturally didn’t hold anymore.

Looking at Mo Qi’s deeply emotional eyes, tears like flames burned her conscience. Having known each other since childhood, she’d never seen him cry, fingers deeply pinching her palm, unable to voice her true thoughts, she could only comfort him reluctantly, "I... I’m not abandoning you, just asking you to leave for a while, we’ll discuss this after the wedding, alright?"

Mo Qi looked into her beautiful, captivating eyes, unable to utter a word.

He wasn’t foolish, he could tell Shen Qingli was merely making excuses, deliberately stalling.

Her mind was set on driving him away.

All the unwillingness and pain transformed into silent, dangerous undercurrents.

Mo Qi suppressed the dark gloom in his eyes, ultimately said nothing, asked for no compensation, and left the Princess Mansion with the male servants.

After secretly sending away all the male slaves from the mansion, Shen Qingli finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

Yet deep inside, she felt slightly uneasy, always fearing other accidents might happen.

She bit her nails, hesitating whether she should seize the moment and send assassins to eliminate these male slaves to prevent future troubles.

However, after spending so much time together, there was a trace of love and affection.

Especially Mo Qi, he’d been with her since childhood, protecting and caring for her when she had no parents and was bullied, even going hungry himself, always treating her with deep love and tenderness.

She couldn’t bear to be heartless.

Still, without eliminating them, Shen Qingli worried about exposure.

Forget it, at least the current situation was stabilized, Yun Han was completely her man, the Wolf Clan always loyal and affectionate, there shouldn’t be any more mistakes.

Once the wedding is completed, everything would fall into place!

Shen Qingli hid her delight, took some sobering soup from the kitchen, and returned to the room.

More than half a month later, the wedding between Empire Princess and Young Master Yun proceeded as scheduled, with invitations sent to all nobles.

Shen Tang naturally received one too.

She originally didn’t want to entangle in this mess, but those sly foxes kept urging her to come and enjoy the spectacle.

Shen Tang saw through the intentions of those dog men, the original protagonist was infatuated with Yun Han, only by witnessing Yun Han’s marriage could ’she’ completely give up!

She had no intentions toward Yun Han whatsoever, rather preferring to keep her distance, and accepted the invitation to reassure Shen Li and the others.
