I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 385 I Will Like You

Meanwhile, Yan Jinyi stood in the distance, his gaze gloomy.

Seeing her chatting and laughing with the two of them, a fire of jealousy rose in his heart.

But going out now is not in his nature; he'd rather return to the banquet and at least make an appearance.

Chang Yu Muling looked at the ointment on his neck, then grabbed her wrist and rolled up his sleeve.

Qianqiu Chang'an grabbed Changyu Muling's hand: "Brother Muling, what is the meaning of this!"

"She also suffered some minor injuries to her wrists during the battle with the leech monster earlier today."

She twisted her wrist to break free from Qianqiu Chang'an's restraints, and massaged her wrist with her fingers to let the medicine fully penetrate her.

Zhongli Yuelu deliberately moved closer to Changyu Muling, while maintaining a distant smile towards Qianqiu Chang'an.

"Young Master Chang'an, you should hurry back to your seat. Those young ladies from noble families are probably looking for you."

"Yes, Brother Chang'an, why don't you go and care about your sister?"

Chang Yu Muling truly hated everything associated with Qian Qiu Chang Huan, because Qian Qiu Chang Huan was always targeting Zhong Li Yue Luo, which led to him having no good feelings towards Qian Qiu Chang An as well.

"Muling, let's go for a walk over there later. There's a kind of flower here that I heard only blooms when the moon rises."

Qianqiu Chang'an clenched the medicine pot in his hand, calling him Young Master Chang'an and Changyu Muling, but referring to him by his given name!

So her relationship with him was really just a transaction.

“Miss Yueluo, I’m more familiar with this Wanhua Pavilion. If I wander around at night, what if it happens again like last time?”

Although he felt a little disappointed, he was determined to seize the initiative. Even if he knew she was using him, so what?

Their ultimate goal was the same: to sit in that position and be free from the constraints of the Qianqiu Clan.

He had to take a gamble.

“Brother Chang’an, Yue Luo said she wants to come with me.”

At this moment, Su Fengjun and Chang Yuxuanyuan also left the banquet. They hid in the shadows on the other side, observing the group.

"It seems your fiancée is quite popular. What kind of magic does she possess?"

Chang Yuxuan crossed his arms and looked Chang Yumu Ling up and down before finally fixing his gaze on her forehead.

Su Fengjun clenched his fists tightly, ready to rush forward if they made any further inappropriate moves.

Fortunately, you always hold hands through your sleeves.

Su Fengling, however, kept his eyes fixed on Qianqiu Changhuan, for knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

"Brother Feng, how about lending me a hand?"

"what for?"

"I want to draw away the dust from Chang'an and have Yue Luo and Mu Ling together."

This isn't a sister's hopeful expectation for her brother; she just wants to speed things up so she can get what she wants.

What she wanted, Zhongli Yueluo also wanted, but their plan was to make Changyu Muling the Earth Lord.

This would change the situation for the Five Lords, so they wouldn't be hindered when they returned.

If handled well, it could even become an asset to them.

However, their interests are now aligned, so they'll lend her a hand.

"Young Master Chang'an, Miss Changhuan needs your help."

Su Fengjun emerged from the shadows, and his appearance was quite convincing, especially since Qianqiu Changhuan was indeed looking for him.

Qianqiu Chang'an frowned, handed the medicine to Zhongli Yueluo, stood up, and left somewhat reluctantly.

"Hmph, Brother Chang'an, why don't you go back to the table and have a couple more drinks?"

He tugged at Zhongli Yueluo's sleeve, somewhat smug, believing, at least for this moment, that Zhongli Yueluo had chosen him.

Who knew that when she turned around, she would meet Su Fengjun's cold eyes, which were even colder than Zhongli Yueluo's before the Ice Curse was lifted.

"release!"

He simply uttered two words coldly, and Chang Yuxuanyuan stepped out from the shadows and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Feng, so you've been wandering around here. Let's go have a drink!"

She knew that if she didn't come out, Su Fengjun might explode!

Chang Yu Muling still stared blankly as he released Zhong Li Yueluo's hand. He could sense Su Fengjun's emotions from those eyes.

Su Fengjun's affection for Zhongli Yueluo was beyond his reach; his liking for Zhongli Yueluo was simply a pure liking.

But Su Fengjun seemed to have engraved her into his soul.

Su Fengjun was forcibly dragged away by Chang Yuxuanyuan. Before leaving, his gaze was meaningful and complex beyond description.

Zhongli Yueluo frowned slightly and nodded to her. She treated these people as if they were little kids.

To be honest, there's no room for anyone else in her heart.

"Muling, let's go see the flowers."

Zhongli Yueluo knew Changyu Xuanyuan's ambition, and since she was in such a hurry, she would give her a push as well.

Most people felt there wasn't enough food at the table, while some wandered around the perimeter of the Wanhua Pavilion.

Chang Yu Muling tried to take Zhong Li Yueluo's hand several times, but she turned away and refused.

But in the end, he still grabbed her sleeve, his smile full of innocence, without any other ulterior motives.

"There's a really nice smell up ahead, could it be the flower you were talking about?"

Zhongli Yueluo shook her head; she had never seen it either, only overheard others mentioning it.

The two walked to the corridor, where a trellis had been erected, covered with vines, though they were not yet in bloom.

All the flowers were buds with tassels, but their fragrance was already hard to conceal.

When they reached the middle of the long corridor, Chang Yu Muling's eyes lit up.

The moon had risen high in the sky, shining on the flowers, and the buds gradually opened.

It was as if the fragrance materialized and lingered around Zhongli Yueluo.

It has a faint purple hue, and a subtle blue hue.

Zhongli Yueluo looked into his eyes and noticed a red mark between his brows that was also shimmering.

It seems that he is very wavering at this moment.

She knew how to win the heart of a young man just beginning to experience love.

She gently tossed her hair, tilted her head, narrowed her eyes into crescents, revealing dimples, and softly called out, "Mu Ling."

Chang Yu Muling twirled two fingers in front of him, his heart pounding wildly.

He took two steps forward and hugged Zhongli Yueluo tightly: "Yueluo, look at me carefully."

But Zhongli Yueluo held her hands to her chest and gently pinched his shoulders with her fingers.

He couldn't see her expression, but she only showed a calculating smile.

It seems that he's only one step away from revealing his true colors.

But now is not the time; at least we have to wait until the three successors after the Five Princes have chosen their heirs.

"Does it have to be the position of young lord? I probably can't compete with him."

Chang Yu Muling also realized the gap between himself and the Yan brothers, and his voice trembled.

When she released him, Zhongli Yueluo saw the loneliness in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "I really like you."

"You are different from others."

Zhongli Yueluo took a step back, and the moonlight spilled onto her face, casting a floral shadow.

"Mu Ling, you are kind and gentle by nature, the Earth Lord will like you."

He forced a smile; he didn't need her answer, he already knew the answer.

But he still stubbornly looked into her eyes and asked, "And you?"
