The abstinent prince, practicing Buddhism, is seduced by a voluptuous beauty into breaking his vows.

Chapter 184 I'm so tired I could die.

The rain had just stopped.

To show satisfaction with Xiao Chenyuan's "results",

Su Yaoyao swayed so much her waist felt like it was about to fall apart.

Xiao Chenyuan lay on his side beside her, propping his head up with one hand, while the other hand idly twirled her sweaty hair.

Those phoenix eyes, which usually showed compassion for all living beings, were now filled with a dark color that could drown a person.

Su Yaoyao leaned against him, still immersed in the feeling of being "destined in this life and the next."

My heart melted completely.

Then Xiao Chenyuan suddenly spoke.

"Graceful".

"Um?"

He looked down at her, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"You previously..." He paused,

"Do you have a husband?"

The pink bubble in Su Yaoyao's mind burst with a "pop".

She froze.

husband?

In her previous life, she lived for over twenty years, passing through countless fields of grass without a single leaf clinging to her; she truly had no husband...

Ex-boyfriends... I can't even count them all.

But can you really say that?

No!

You absolutely mustn't tell!

She immediately adopted a docile expression, looked up at him, and blinked her eyes.

"Of course not!" Her voice was as sincere as could be.

"Your Highness is the only one in my heart! From the beginning until now, from start to finish, inside and out..."

Xiao Chenyuan looked down at her.

That face was so sincere!

Those eyes were so clear!

But who is Xiao Chenyuan?

It's that crown prince who grew up amidst conspiracies.

He is the Buddhist disciple who can see through people's hearts at a glance.

He tilted his head slightly and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Just one word.

Su Yaoyao felt a chill run down her spine.

This person is...too shrewd.

She gave a dry laugh.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" She blinked, trying to maintain an innocent expression.

"I really didn't..."

Xiao Chenyuan looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That smile was gentle, yet it made Su Yaoyao's heart pound.

"Yaoyao," he said, his voice low.

"Did I tell you?"

"Tell what?"

Xiao Chenyuan raised his hand and gently pinched her chin, making her look at him.

"When you lie," he said, "you blink."

Su Yaoyao: "!!!"

She blinked again unconsciously.

It’s over.

Looking at her like this, Xiao Chenyuan's smile deepened.

"Um?"

Su Yaoyao: "..."

"You're being naughty, Yaoyao." He said in a low voice.

"I will punish you."

Su Yaoyao quickly shrank back. Why was it that sentence again?

Her legs trembled when she saw Xiao Chenyuan's dangerous gaze.

"You, you, you stay away!" she said, trying to run away.

This is no Buddhist disciple, this is clearly a glutton who has broken his vow of celibacy!

Are you all starving? Didn't you say your back ached?!

Xiao Chenyuan leaned in and pulled her into his arms.

"Why are you running?"

Su Yaoyao pushed against his chest.

"Your Highness! I just...exerted myself quite a bit...I'm so tired..."

Xiao Chenyuan looked down at her.

"Then I'll be up there."

Su Yaoyao became anxious.

"I'm really not good enough! It's still...it's still (mid-month)..."

As she spoke, her face flushed red.

Xiao Chenyuan paused for a moment.

He looked down at her, his phoenix eyes swirling with complex emotions—heartache, desire, and a hint of...amusement?

"Then what should we do?" he asked, his tone utterly innocent.

"I want to punish you."

Su Yaoyao's mind raced.

No, no, if this continues, she won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

We need to think of a way...

"Your Highness." She softened her voice and raised her hand to wrap around his neck.

Xiao Chenyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Um?"

Su Yaoyao leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"Your Highness," she called softly, tracing circles on his chest with her finger, "you've had a hard time these past few days..."

Xiao Chenyuan raised an eyebrow.

Su Yaoyao continued drawing circles, her voice soft and alluring.

"How about I, Yaoyao, serve you?"

Xiao Chenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

"...How should I serve you?"

Su Yaoyao smiled like a fox.

"Your Highness can just lie down."

---

Half an hour later.

Su Yaoyao regretted it.

I deeply regret it!

Xiao Chenyuan leaned against the headboard, his clothes slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone and chest.

His cool face carried a satisfied languor, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he looked extremely comfortable.

He looked down at the person lying by the bedside, grieving, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Tired?"

Su Yaoyao glared at him.

speechless.

Xiao Chenyuan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Let me rub it for you."

He pinched her small face with his hand, pressing down with just the right amount of force.

Su Yaoyao leaned against him and hummed.

"Your Highness seems to be feeling comfortable."

Xiao Chenyuan chuckled softly.

"Um."

Su Yaoyao was so angry that she poked his chest.

"How dare you!"

Xiao Chenyuan took her hand and kissed it.

"Yaoyao feels sorry for me, and I am very touched."

Su Yaoyao: "..."

Was she feeling sorry for him?

She was clearly trying to save herself!

But looking at his satisfied expression, I felt...

Forget it.

You chose this husband yourself, so pamper him.

Xiao Chenyuan continued massaging her wrists, then suddenly spoke.

"Yaoyao just now," he said slowly, "why did you lie?"

Su Yaoyao choked.

This person has already sacrificed so much, why are they still clinging to this!

She poked his chest.

"I didn't lie. I said my heart belongs only to Your Highness, and that's it. I came here for Your Highness. Why don't you believe me?"

She wasn't lying; she really doesn't have a husband.

Xiao Chenyuan looked at her.

Those eyes were crystal clear, filled with his reflection.

He suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of helplessness, a hint of doting, and a hint of... resignation in that smile.

"I really..." he sighed, "I can't do anything with you."

After saying that, he gently bit her lip.

Su Yaoyao hissed.

"What kind of problem is it that keeps biting people?"

Xiao Chenyuan looked at her.

"Yaoyao..." he said, "I..."

He paused.

"envy."

Su Yaoyao was stunned.

Xiao Chenyuan pulled her into his arms.

"I envy those who have seen you," he said in a muffled voice, "those who were once present."

Su Yaoyao's heart softened.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Chenyuan continued, "I regret that I didn't find you sooner, that I didn't meet you sooner."

He tightened his grip on his arms.

"I wish I could possess your past life as well."

"But from now on—"

He paused, his gaze so deep it seemed to draw you in.

"In your heart, there can only be loneliness."

Su Yaoyao leaned against him, listening to his words, and her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

This person...

How come his domineering words sound so captivating when they come out of his mouth?

She leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"Very well," she said. "Only Your Highness."

Xiao Chenyuan's lips curled up slightly.

But the smile that had just appeared was quickly suppressed by him.

"Then..." He looked at her, his gaze deep and unsettling, "The things from the past, really, are there no such things?"

Su Yaoyao: "..."

Why are you still asking!

She took a deep breath; this matter absolutely had to be dealt with today!

"Your Highness," she looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, "do you not believe me, or do you not believe yourself?"

Xiao Chenyuan was taken aback.

Su Yaoyao continued, "Your Highness is so wonderful, how could I possibly fall for someone else?"

She poked his chest.

"Good-looking, powerful, and doting on me so much—compared to you, others are like fireflies compared to the moon."

Xiao Chenyuan looked at her.

Those eyes were bright and full of sincerity.

But he always felt...

"Yaoyao," he said.

"Um?"

Have you ever heard the saying?

Su Yaoyao blinked.

"What?"

Xiao Chenyuan lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

"The more sincere it is, the more fake it seems."

Su Yaoyao: "..."

This guy!

Xiao Chenyuan chuckled softly as he looked at her speechless expression.

"Alright." He pulled her into his arms. "I won't ask anymore."

Su Yaoyao leaned against his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could even catch her breath, she heard a faint voice coming from above her.

"Anyway..." Xiao Chenyuan said, "there's plenty of time in the future."

Su Yaoyao froze.

There is ample time?

What does that mean?

She looked up at him.

Xiao Chenyuan was looking down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That smile was gentle and tender.

But Su Yaoyao clearly read a line of text inside—

"You can't escape."

She shrank her neck.

This person... is terrifying.

Xiao Chenyuan's smile deepened as he looked at her adorable expression.

I wanted to lower my head and kiss her again.

Su Yaoyao quickly stopped him.

"Just now... um... I hadn't rinsed my mouth yet."

"I don't mind."

"I'm so tired!! I'm going to sleep!"

"Okay, I'll hold you while you sleep."

Su Yaoyao nestled in his arms and closed her eyes.

Before going to sleep, she mumbled something in her sleep.

"Next time... it's your turn..."

Xiao Chenyuan was stunned.

Then he smiled.

"Okay," he said softly. "Next time, I'll take my place."

Su Yaoyao is already asleep.

Xiao Chenyuan pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head.
