Playing with fire

Chen Juan didn't reply anything, she started to tear up. Mu Xiuying was confused about her sudden change, was she not proactively provoking him, what happened to her now.

It didn't take much time for him to understand when someone suddenly barged in from the door. Mu Xiuying looked towards where the noise came, and was surprised seeing the person standing there.

Chen Juan took the opportunity, and pushed him away, standing out of the bed. She started to sob, running away from Mu Xiuying.

Mu Xiuying understood what she had planned all along, she wanted to play the victim card infront of her parents and Empress dowager.

She was getting more scheming and fun for him. When did she learn this? He had a transient smile which was not noticed by anyone except Chen Juan. Her eagle eyes can ignore that evil smile on his lips, she wanted to scrap it away from his face.

"Wan Xieran." Luo Yiren went to Chen Juan, who was trembling and sobbing as if she was traumatized by what happened.

If Mu Xiuying didn't know what happened, he would be fooled by her acting.

He scoffed, and turned his face away from her; he didn't want to see her scheming face, he may end up believing her.

"Mu Xiuying, what did you do to Wan Xieran?" Empress dowager questioned him. She was surprised seeing her grandson forcing Wan Xieran like that.

She never thought that her beloved grandson could do that. She wanted to give him the chance to explain, maybe it was a misunderstanding. And if he can explain the truth, they can still find a way.

"What happened? Normal thing that happens between two adults." He replied shrugging his shoulders, as if he didn't care about the matter.

Everyone was flabbergasted on hearing except Chen Juan, she had a smirk. She expected right, people like him don't like explaining things, whatever they do is right for them.

'It was going to be fun' she thought in her mind. She was still at advantage, only he will be tarnished for taking advantage of her. She will be ruined but not like him but still she needs to work more.

He was a man and prince, in the ancient world, man always had power. If it was a modern world some may help her, and throw trash at him even if it's still the same.

Girls are always at disadvantage, unless you fight for yourself, no one will. They will only look down upon you as if you made a mistake.

And maybe the ancient world was worse than modern, even if they know a man made a mistake they will never dare to tarnish him, they will say the woman seduced him or she was shameless.

How did she know that much, because she already knew that from hearing Wan Xieran rumours. Was she really evil? If Wan Xieran was evil, what was she?

She was worse than her, she was way stubborn than her. She plays with so many guys, was she cheap because he talks and flirts with her male friends? Was she slut because she always takes the first step in her relationship with Zheng Yuhan?

Maybe for others it was, for her she was not. She did what she wanted, because if she starts to live a life like others she will be alive with a dead soul.

She was always a rebel, and captivating and taming a rebel both are different. And listening to unimportant people is captivating her free spirit, and taming her, no one ever dared to not even Zheng Yuhan, then how can someone like him can tame her.

She looked up at him thinking that his eyes were on her all the time. They both are challenging each other who will win this game. Her eyes mocking while his eyes laughed at her confidence.

Empress Dowager and Wan Ziliang and others were astounded by what Mu Xiuying said. Was he accepting his mistake?

Empress Dowager was utterly disappointed and shocked by his behavior. She just came to visit Wants to inform about the marriage and meet Wan Xieran.

But when they were having a talk, Wan Xieran's personal mail, dashed in saying the prince was molesting Wan Xieran and if they didn't go, she may lose her innocence.

No one believed her words at first, and thought it was a lie but she continued insisting that they should go and check.

At last they gave in, and went with her warning her that if it was wrong, she should be ready for the consequences of slandering the prince.

On reaching Wan Xieran's room, they heard Mu Xiuying's voice saying are you sure. What did he mean by that, and then they heard Chen Juan's sobbing.

They couldn't stop themselves on barging inside, and they were horrified seeing Chen Juan being pinned by him down on the bed. She was trembling and sobbing like she saw a ghost. She was all pale.

If he was not a prince, Wan Ziliang would have killed him then and there.

How can someone be so daring to this his daughter in his own home but he was a prince he can't do anything. He had to keep himself calm.

Because consequences will be handled by his beloved daughter, he didn't dare to. She was still young, and had her life, if he does something to him, it will be his daughter in pain.

"Mu Xiuying!! What were you thinking of?" Empress Dowager questioned him with a serious tone.

"Nothing, just checking out my future wife. How can I be sure she is good enough without testing out?" He said to empress dowager, his eyes on Chen Juan.

'you think only you can play.' he thought on his mind.

'Lady you are playing with fire and you will see how much it's dangerous is.' he said smirking evilly and looking towards her, sending shivers down her spine.
