Chu Lan stared at him intently and stretched out a hand into his coat, saying: "If it isn't you then who else? Xi'er, you're not allowed to be tempted by her, you're mine!"

Xia Xi was a little dumbfounded, "Why would she seduce me? I- I'm not a normal man..." How could normal women be appealed to him? What's more, it was Cai Huan, he was certain she had no such feelings for him. Chu Lan stroked his crotch, rubbing the soft flesh through a layer of cloth and said: "You have this. It's hard to guarantee that won't suddenly someday want to try the taste of a woman on a whim. And she always sticks to you, always hugging you, it's inappropriate¹! If she's not seducing you, then is it possible that she's seducing me?" Chu Lan had never considered this possibility. For him, since he married Xia Xi there was no need to look at others needlessly, no matter if they were men or women, let alone Cai Huan. He had always ignored Cai Huan and only occasionally noticed her. He was also annoyed by the fact that Xia Xi was too close to her, especially after knowing the secret of Xia Xi's body. Every time he saw the two getting close together, he would secretly think about what method he should use to send that little maid away, and get some older maids to serve Xia Xi.

At that moment, the young King clearly saw Xia Xi's expression and frowned, realizing that his casual sentence actually contained the truth. He recalled the situation this morning. At that time, Xia Xi was still asleep, and it really seemed that it was more likely that she was seducing himself. He paused and said, "Seducing the Lord, this isn't allowed. I'm not Xia Chao and this isn't Xia. I won't tolerate such a person, Xi'er, I'll ask someone to send her out tomorrow."

When Xia Xi heard what he said, he didn't know how he should feel and hurriedly replied, "My lord, Cai Huan had followed me since then, please don't be like this..."

Chu Lan was a bit impatient, he took a bite on his lips and said with a sour tone of voice, "Protecting her like this, does she really mean nothing?" Xia Xi shook his head quickly and denied it, "I'm not..." He hesitated for a while before whispering: "Chu Lan, or.... you can take her..." He was extremely uncomfortable saying those words, as if he was being stabbed by something. At this time only did he realise that his mother might've not had such strong affection for his father, otherwise, why would she be willing to share favour with so many women? Or was it, you'll get jealous and sad just at the beginning, but just slowly get used to it?

Then will he get used to it one day, when he sees Chu Lan with other women; when he sees him smiling at others and acting coy, would he be unwavering and unmoved?

Xia Xi was ashamed of his inability to do that now. He didn't know exactly when he became possessive of his young husband. It was obviously wrong. Chu Lan was the King, how could he belong to him alone?

When Chu Lan heard what he said, he froze for a while at first. When he understood it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the smile on his face disappeared. His eyes were fixed on him and his voice was a little cold, "What did you say?"

Xia Xi didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his head, uncomfortable and conscious "I mean... do you want to take her...? Although Cai H-Huan isn't that sensible, she's not bad-hearted. She's beautiful... she told me that she liked y-you..." The more Xia Xi spoke, the drier his throat became. He didn't speak anymore after not getting a response from Chu Lan.

The boy stopped touching him. Although the two of them were still leaning against each other, their bodies seemed to stiffen. Xia Xi suddenly felt cold, even though the room was so warm. For a while, Chu Lan didn't make a sound. Xia Xi had to bite the bullet and raised his head to look at his expression. After meeting his cold gaze, his whole body suddenly trembled, and his face paled.
