Chapter 2735: Escape

Xuexue’s face turned red with anger, making her look even more alluring. She huffed and said, "Why are you jealous? I haven’t had any intimate contact with that man."

Originally, Xuexue thought Long Rui would be speechless, but then she heard him say, "Who said you didn’t? Isn’t Xiao Jiu a male?"

"...!"

Xuexue was thunderstruck in an instant. This guy is shameless—can’t find a man, so he picks a bird?

It’s simply insulting her intelligence.

Long Rui admired his own wit a bit, glanced at Xuexue, and chuckled, "What’s wrong? Have nothing to say now, dear wife?"

After all, there’s no smoke without fire. Last time, although Zi Xia said Xiao Jiu peeking at Xuexue bathing was just a misunderstanding, when being cheeky, a misunderstanding can be evidence too.

Xuexue: "You are such a rogue."

Long Rui: "No matter. I, your husband, just want to calm down."

A flash of brilliance crossed Xuexue’s mind. She looked at the big hand pressing on her shoulder, her voice turning incredibly sweet, "Prince, how can I calm your anger if you’re holding me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Long Rui was overjoyed, thinking Xuexue really agreed to calm him down, and quickly released his arms around her.

Unexpectedly, just as his arm relaxed, a sharp pain shot up from his foot...

"Ouch!"

It turns out, Xuexue seized that moment, lifted her foot, and stomped hard on his foot, causing Long Rui to jump in place with pain...

"Ouch... it hurts... dear wife, you’re murdering your husband, that’s way too cruel, ouch ouch... it’s killing me." Long Rui shouted loudly while jumping in pain.

At this moment, not a single shadow of the usually stern prince could be found on Long Rui; he was just a doting husband being bullied by his wife.

After succeeding, Xuexue wasted no time and turned, sprinted out of the room, came to the door, turned back, and smugly leaned against the doorframe, addressing Long Rui, who was still jumping inside, "How was that for calming down, prince? Satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Despite the severe pain in his foot, Long Rui gritted his teeth, "Dear wife, since you’re so cheeky, tonight I must teach you a good lesson."

Xuexue was about to turn and leave when she heard this, twisted her head back, and provocatively said, "Almost forgot to tell the prince, I miss my father, I’ll go stay at the General’s Mansion for the next couple of days and won’t be coming back. Prince, sleep alone tonight, remember to cover yourself well to avoid catching a cold."

With that, she didn’t wait for Long Rui to react and dashed away like a streak of lightning.

"Situtu Xueer, come back here!"

A thunderous shout came from behind.

Xuexue ran even faster, taking advantage of the fact that he hadn’t reacted yet, and quickly slipped out of the mansion, or else she wouldn’t be able to escape.

The steward waiting at the door saw this and stealthily slipped away too. Are you kidding? The prince is now in a rage, only a fool would step forward; better to avoid it lest he suffers.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu flew back from outside, saw the usually composed Xuexue running in such a flustered manner, and found it very odd. So, flapping its wings, it followed behind Xuexue, shouted in its high-pitched voice, "Master, Master, what are you doing? Are you losing weight?"

"Lose what weight, can’t you see? Your family head is running away!" Xuexue replied urgently while she ran.

Xiao Jiu: "Master, what heaven-shaking thing did you do that you have to flee?"

The big bad guy really dotes on the master, the master hasn’t done anything outrageously wrong, running away isn’t possible, Xiao Jiu found it very strange.
