Chapter 423
"You figured it out?" Shangguan Mu wasn't surprised that Li Zhiwei could guess his identity.
At this thought, Shangguan Mu's gaze toward Li Zhiwei beca even more brazen.
So what if she found out? He was certain that Li Zhiwei wouldn't dare do anything to him.
Or rather, he had long discovered that Xu Heming and Wen Zhaonan's n were watching him.
But so what?
Even if the Emperor of the Lannuo Kingdom knew he was here, he would probably just have to pretend he didn't.
"Leave at once!" Li Zhiwei was secretly anxious. Why wasn't Xu Heming here yet?
She was genuinely afraid that if Xu Heming arrived late, she would be abducted by this foreign prince.
She didn't want to marry into another country at all.
"Miss Li, don't worry. I won't do anything to you. I just want to be your friend." Shangguan Mu naturally noticed Li Zhiwei's nervousness.
However, the more nervous she got, the happier he felt.
After all, this also demonstrated the prestige of his Qinling Kingdom.
"Who wants to be your friend!" Li Zhiwei refused without a second thought.
After all, did this man look even the slightest bit like he was here to make friends?
"So, Miss Li doesn't want to be my friend. Could it be that you want to marry instead?" Shangguan Mu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Miss Li, if you don't want to marry , that's fine too. How about I marry you?" Seeing Li Zhiwei furious, Shangguan Mu continued.
"Give up. I won't marry you, and I won't take you as a husband either! I have a fiancé!" Li Zhiwei was going crazy. She had reiterated several tis that she had a fiancé. Why couldn't this man understand?
"It's just a fiancé. If it really cos down to it, he can be your primary husband, and I'll be your concubine. How about that?" Shangguan Mu said carelessly.
Li Zhiwei's eyes widened. What did she just hear?
This man said he wanted to marry her and be her concubine?
Was he crazy?
Li Zhiwei suddenly thought of Xia Wenshuang, who had countless male lovers in her backyard. She didn't want to beco a woman like that.
"I don't need one!" Li Zhiwei blurted out.
"What? Could it be that your fiancé won't allow it?" Shangguan Mu smugly leaned closer to Li Zhiwei, a triumphant smirk on his lips.
For a mont, Li Zhiwei didn't know how to answer.
Would Xu Heming allow it?
Of course he wouldn't.
Let alone Xu Heming not letting her take a male concubine, she herself was unwilling.
"You see, he definitely doesn't truly love you. Otherwise, why would he mind being your concubine when I don't even mind his existence?" Shangguan Mu said with a look that said 'I knew it'.
Li Zhiwei was completely stunned by these words.
What kind of twisted logic was this?
Qingyue, standing to the side, was infuriated by the man's shaless remarks.
She wondered where this scoundrel ca from and how he could say such things with a straight face.
Xu Heming, who had hurried over, happened to hear Shangguan Mu's shaless words.
His face darkened with anger.
"Your Highness, don't be angry!" Wen Zhaonan, worried that Xu Heming might draw his sword and hack the man to pieces, quickly and carefully urged him.
"Who is he in the Qinling Kingdom?" Xu Heming asked through gritted teeth.
"The Third Prince of the Qinling Kingdom. The one who ca with him is his biological sister, the Ninth Princess," Wen Zhaonan answered hurriedly.
"What a Third Prince! To dare covet my princess consort!" Xu Heming gripped his sword, wanting to go up and cut the man down.
"Prince An, if you get angry, you'll fall right into his trap," Wen Zhaonan added.
"I suspect he knows Miss Li is your fiancée and wants to sow discord between you two. Another reason is probably that he wants to marry his sister off to you."
Wen Zhaonan leaned in close to Xu Heming's ear and analyzed the situation carefully.
"Hmph, in his dreams!" Xu Heming actually took Wen Zhaonan's words to heart this ti.
Angry as he was, he recognized the reality of the situation. He really couldn't act on impulse, or he would play right into Shangguan Mu's sche.
"Let go of , I know what I'm doing," Xu Heming said calmly, glancing at Wen Zhaonan's hand holding him back.
"You go in. I'll stay hidden for now," Wen Zhaonan said.
After all, Xu Heming had to confront him directly now, but he himself needed to stay out of sight as a backup plan.
"Mm." Xu Heming nodded and led Qingsong into the Li residence.
Seeing Shangguan Mu's malicious gaze fixed on Li Zhiwei, Xu Heming clenched his fists.
"My Princess, do we have a guest?" Xu Heming walked up to Li Zhiwei, feigning ignorance, and blocked Shangguan Mu's line of sight.
He deliberately emphasized the word "Princess" to make Shangguan Mu back off.
Seeing Xu Heming arrive, Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly grabbed Xu Heming's hand, looked at Shangguan Mu, and said, "You see him now. He is my husband. You better give up."
Li Zhiwei's palms were sweating. She had never done anything so intimate with Xu Heming before.
Right now, she was worried Xu Heming might think she lacked modesty, but thinking of the lunatic in front of her, she couldn't care less.
She only hoped that Xu Heming would understand her intention and chase this man away.
Xu Heming held Li Zhiwei's hand and turned to look at Shangguan Mu.
"Sir, is there a reason you are looking for my Princess?" Xu Heming asked Shangguan Mu with a look of displeasure.
"Are you Miss Li's fiancé? A pleasure to et you, I am Shangguan Mu!" Shangguan Mu said with a smile.
At this point, Shangguan Mu didn't even bother using a fake na to fool Xu Heming.
As for whether Xu Heming would know his identity?
So what?
His goal was to ruin this marriage so that Xu Heming would marry his sister.
"Young Master Shangguan, please leave!" Xu Heming radiated a cold aura the entire ti, ignoring Shangguan Mu's provocation.
"His Royal Highness Prince An, why be so stingy? Both of us are admirers of Miss Li. For her sake, shouldn't we get along harmoniously?" Shangguan Mu smugly patted Xu Heming on the shoulder.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who wants to get along with you?" Xu Heming had been suppressing the anger in his heart.
However, if this Shangguan Mu pushed his luck any further, he wouldn't mind letting him experience his wrath.
"You see, he really doesn't love you. Otherwise, he wouldn't disagree when I don't even mind being your concubine. At least you still have ," Shangguan Mu spread his hands in an 'I told you so' manner.
"I didn't an that! I never asked him to be my concubine; he said it himself!" Li Zhiwei, frightened, hurriedly explained to Xu Heming.
She wailed internally. This joke had gone way too far.
If Xu Heming truly misunderstood her, she wouldn't be able to clear her na even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"I know!" Xu Heming gently patted Li Zhiwei's hand and turned to glare fiercely at Shangguan Mu.
"The ladies of our Lannuo Kingdom are not as open-minded as the won of your Qinling Kingdom, taking multiple husbands! Third Prince, please see yourself out!" At this point, Xu Heming didn't plan to pretend he didn't know Shangguan Mu anymore.
After all, this man had co right to his doorstep to insult him. Why should he be polite?
