Chapter 398 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 16

Yun Qing originally intended to question Helian Yin about his true intentions, but as soon as Helian Yin saw her, he ordered a meal to be served.

Yun Qing instantly calmed down, happily sat down next to him, tugged at his sleeve and shook it, "Helian Yin, you're so good."

Helian Yin let her tug at his sleeve and asked her with a smile, "Then could you be a little gentler next time you hit me?"

Yun Qing scoffed, "I just made a loud thud, I didn't hurt you."

As she lowered her gaze, she saw Helian Yin's hand emerge from his sleeve. His slender fingers were slightly curved, with distinct knuckles, and they were quite handsome. So she muttered, "Why haven't the dishes been served yet?"

She quietly hooked one of his fingers with her own.

Helian Yin's fingers trembled slightly, then he said nonchalantly, "What's the rush? I'll be here soon."

Yun Qing hummed in response. Seeing that he didn't react, she became bolder, pinched his fingers, and then slowly began to trace along his fingers.

Although Helian Yin's hands looked fair, there were actually some thin calluses on his fingers. Yun Qing didn't mind and gently touched them until she reached his palm.

Helian Yin finally couldn't resist grabbing her hand, tapping the back of her hand with his fingertips, and said in a low, husky voice, "Stop fooling around."

Although Yun Qing would only deliberately flirt with Helian Yin when she thought of him, Helian Yin felt that she was constantly stirring his heartstrings. Her unconscious and purposeless closeness made him even more unable to control himself.

But she was too naive to understand, thinking that her awkward and exaggerated attempts at intimacy were seduction.

Just like now, she didn't realize that he had been disturbed by her, and instead of being pleased with himself, she looked guilty as if she had been caught doing something wrong, her eyes darting around and avoiding his gaze.

Helian Yin rested his forehead on his hand, sighed inwardly, and comforted himself, "It'll only be a few days, just wait a little longer."

Neither of them spoke again, nor did they even look at each other, but their clasped hands remained inside Helian Yin's wide sleeves, not letting go.

At this moment, Qi Shi suddenly walked in. Seeing the terrifying silence between the two, he felt even more hopeless and knelt down with a "bang".

Helian Yin looked at his fearless expression and felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

This happened the last time he received the board!

Qi Shi sincerely admitted his mistake, "Your Highness, I am guilty and beg for punishment!"

Helian Yin frowned and asked, "What crime?"

Qi Shi lowered his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood you."

Helian Yin couldn't help but look at Yun Qing, who then remembered, "He said you were pretending to be a good person!"

Qi Shi looked bewildered. "Did I say that?" "Oh, right, that's how the princess understood it."

Helian Yin's face darkened. He squeezed Yun Qing's hand and said to her, "Don't listen to his nonsense in the future. He's just wasting his breath!"

Yunqing was clearly trying to steal his body and his heart, but in Qi Shi's mouth it became that she was pretending to admire him and making Jiang Yunyan jealous.

If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked Qi Ying, he wouldn't have known that Qi Ying was so good at relaying messages!

Yun Qing looked at him shyly and nodded, "I know, Your Highness is the best~"

As she spoke, her fingers reached for his wrist, hooking, scratching, and rubbing... to be precise, she rubbed it.

Helian Yin: ...

Oh! I've remembered I should seduce him again.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless; he had been quite good at it just now, but after trying, he couldn't do it anymore.

Whether he'd be tempted or not, given how she was beckoning him, his wrists were bound to have a few scratches from her hooking.

However, he said nothing and did not even stop her actions.

Just as Yun Qing looked at him with some hesitation, wondering if she had done something wrong, he reached out and took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her.

After receiving the jade pendant, Yun Qing immediately withdrew her hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter, her spirits soaring, and she looked a little proud.

In Yun Qing's view, every time she tried to seduce him, Helian Yin would give her something, which meant that he was moved and that she was one step closer to completely winning his heart!

Seeing her happy expression, Helian Yin rubbed his scratched wrist, lowered his eyes, and smiled.

Silly.

Although Helian Yin had a reputation for being tyrannical, ruthless, and cruel, he was not actually that cruel and ruthless to those around him; at most, he was fair in rewarding and punishing.

In a good mood, he didn't dwell on it too much and simply waved his hand, saying, "Go and accept your punishment."

This means that a small punishment is enough to teach them a lesson, so they'll remember to shut up when they should and not talk nonsense next time.

Qi Shi withdrew and went to collect his punishment.

Yun Qing touched the jade pendant in her hand and handed it back to Helian Yin, saying, "Remember to put it in the brocade box for me."

Yun Qing has a special brocade box filled with all sorts of little trinkets that Helian Yin has recently given her.

She figured she couldn't back out of the engagement anyway, and that she'd have to bring her things over with her when she married into the family, which would be a hassle, so she decided to just leave her things there.

Qi Ying went to join in the fun and watched her brother get a beating.

She wasn't worried at all. Anyway, her brother was tough and wouldn't be beaten to death. He'd be back to his old self in a couple of days after taking a few lashes.

So, while Qi Shi was being beaten, he also had to listen to his sister pointing fingers and teaching him how to speak.

Qi Shi: ...Sorry, I don't understand.

Seeing his dull-witted expression, Qi Ying gave up helplessly, "Fine, you'd better speak less in front of the Princess in the future!"

It's true! She felt that her brother deserved the beating perfectly.

Fortunately, the princess is not the kind of woman who likes to keep things bottled up and dwell on them. Otherwise, if the princess had harbored resentment towards the prince, they probably wouldn't even know it, and he would have broken up their good marriage!

?

Yun Qing had gotten used to climbing over the wall to the Regent's Palace every day, but on this day she was stopped by someone from the Ning'an Marquis's side.

Yun Qing has been missing every day, how could Lady Ning'an not know? She didn't care about her before and even covered for her because she felt sorry for her and thought that she would never be able to be so carefree again after getting married.

But now, she's about to get married, and she's still thinking about running away!

Has she forgotten when she got married?

After being reminded by Lady Ning'an, Yun Qing counted on her fingers and realized, "Oh right, I'm getting married in three days!"

Her first thought was no longer that she was going to the Regent's Palace to die, but that she would finally not have to go through the trouble of climbing over the wall anymore!

Yunqing stayed home obediently, waiting to be married, but Jiang Yunyan couldn't resist any longer.

With the wedding day of Yun Qing and Helian Yin fast approaching, and Helian Yin showing no intention of breaking off the engagement, how could she not be anxious?

Does he really intend to marry Jiang Yunqing out of spite?

Upon closer reflection, she realized she hadn't told him she loved him. Could it be that he mistakenly thought she still disliked him, and thus became disheartened, feeling that marrying anyone was the same?

Jiang Yunyan was eager to see Helian Yin and tell him her feelings.

She dragged her still-healing leg to the Regent's Palace, but not only did she not see Helian Yin, she was also ruthlessly driven away by the gatekeeper.

Jiang Yunyan was so angry that her face turned red. They were all a bunch of snobbish people. In her previous life, who in this royal palace dared to give her a hard time!

She returned to the Marquis's residence, seething with anger.

Yun Qing was bored at home, so he finally remembered her and came to show off to her.

"Tsk tsk... Didn't you say I couldn't take him away? Helian Yin and I are getting married soon!"

Jiang Yunyan gritted her teeth in hatred and sneered, "Don't be too smug. We're not even married yet."

With her smug and boastful nature, it's truly remarkable that she managed to keep it hidden until the very end in her previous life before revealing her relationship with the Fifth Prince.

Yun Qing wasn't angry at all. She smiled at her, looking smug. "You're just being stubborn! Are you practically dying of jealousy? Come and hit me if you dare!"

She stared at Jiang Yunyan, her eyes full of anticipation, "Quickly! Let me test the results of my recent martial arts training."

If we can't beat Helian Yin, beating up Jiang Yunyan will be just as fun!
