Shi Baoyou trembled and shrank her neck, calling in a low voice, “Your…Your Highness.”
“Hmm?” Mo Junhao answered casually but didn’t stop touching her.
He joyfully watched Shi Baoyou’s charming expression with a blush. She wanted to dodge but controlled herself and didn’t do anything. She was so fascinating.
After a long while, he finally enjoyed enough and asked unhurriedly, “What do you want to tell me?”
Shi Baoyou stiffened and seemed to be covered with gooseflesh.
She leaned aside slightly and met Mo Junhao’s eyes. Then she answered softly even though she felt ashamed, “Your Highness, I love you.”
Before she finished her words, she lowered her head with shyness, and even the back of her neck was red.
But as a result, she didn’t see that because of her words, Mo Junhao was stunned for quite a while, with astonishment and doubt flashing in his eyes.
They kept a secret relationship for many days indeed, but Mo Junhao thought that Shi Baoyou should know that he wanted to marry Shi Qingxue, and they would flirt with each other at most. After they got married respectively in the future, perhaps they could have some relationship.
They could see through something like this but wouldn’t speak it out. It was a common game of adults.
Mo Junhao hadn’t expected that Shi Baouyou would be so naïve as to express her love for him directly, and she didn’t speak in a euphemistic way.
“Your Highness?” Shi Baoyou didn’t hear Mo Junhao’s answer after a long while, so she raised her head in doubt.
Mo Junhao’s expression changed and he smiled warmly. With his hand caressing Shi Baoyou’s hair, he asked gently, “Baoyou, do you really love me?”
Shi Baoyou thought that Mo Junhao didn’t believe her, so she nodded and stressed, “Really! Your Highness, you are energetic and handsome, and your talent is famous in the capital. We stay with each other these days, and I have seen your gentleness and love for Qingxue. I don’t know why I…”
Shi Baoyou wanted to express her feelings, but in the end, she was so shy that she couldn’t go on, and she lowered her head again.
Everybody could know her feelings after seeing her expression like a girl falling in love.
Although Mo Junhao thought that Shi Baoyou didn’t deserve him and he would never marry her, anybody would feel happy after knowing that he was loved, by a beauty.
Anyway, Shi Baoyou was Shi Juncai’s daughter. He would do it out of consideration for somebody else. Shi Juncai was useless indeed, but Mo Shujun attached importance to this son, and it was fine if Mo Junhao got close to Shi Baoyou.
Moreover, Shi Qingxue was so difficult to please. In order to leave a good impression on her, he had kept away from booze and women for a long time, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. Now a beauty got close to him, and he was tempted more or less.
But he must be careful and couldn’t reveal it. Otherwise, if Shi Qingxue heard about it, nobody knew what would happen.
At this thought, Mo Junhao was gentler to Shi Baoyou.
When Shi Baoyou couldn’t continue to speak, he reached out to pull her into his arms and stated in a soft voice, “Well, don’t need to say more. I understand your feelings.”
Shi Baoyou was healed by Mo Junhao in an instant and suddenly looked up at him.
She hadn’t concealed the expression on her face which showed that she wanted to cry, but joy burst out of her eyes. “Then, Your Highness…”
She looked at Mo Junhao with expectancy and hoped that he could say “I love you, too.”
“I certainly like you, too.” Mo Junhao spoke out what Shi Baoyou expected most.
However, before Shi Baoyou smiled again, Mo Junhao’s eyes darkened, and helplessness was written on his handsome face.
He added after a sigh, “But, Baoyou, you need to understand that I am a prince and I can’t do many things of my own free will!”
Shi Baoyou paused for a while.
Mo Junhao didn’t wait for Shi Baoyou to answer but pretended to be helpless. “I can’t decide my marriage since long ago.”
“How is it possible? Don’t you want to marry Qingxue?” While saying that, Shi Baoyou involuntarily showed jealousy and grievance on her face which couldn’t be found easily.
Mo Junhao noticed that and felt laughable, but he pretended depressed.
He grabbed Shi Baoyou’s hand and didn’t allow her to shrink back. Then he expressed in a deep voice, “Since we talk about this, I don’t want to hide it from you anymore. Yes! I told you these days that I want to marry…Shi Qingxue, but that’s because I have no choice.”
Shi Baoyou pursed her lips with displeasure and asked in a low voice, “Why? You are a prince. Can’t you marry anybody as you like?”
Mo Junhao shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed. “No, of course! If we are from ordinary families, I can certainly choose the one I love.”
When he said the words “the one I love”, he looked at Shi Baoyou gently with affections in his eyes, seeming to express his indefinite love for her.
Shi Baoyou finally showed her displeasure, but it disappeared in an instant.
She looked at Mo Junhao worriedly and asked in doubt, “Then why can’t you now?”
“Because I am not alone now. All my followers hope that I can take the throne, lead the country to be prosperous and bring them glory and wealth in the future. My marriage is not the pure love but the tie of interests since long ago, so I have to marry Qingxue.”
Mo Junhao’s voice was deep and hoarse, with endless sorrow hidden in it.
Even an ordinary person would understand his difficulty and helplessness after hearing that, let alone Shi Baoyou who loved him.
Shi Baoyou’s displeasure was gone, and she just felt sad for him.
She hurriedly grabbed Mo Junhao’s hand and expressed, “Your Highness, I understand your difficulty and won’t force you anymore. Don’t be so sad.”
Mo Junhao shook his head and stared at Shi Baoyou with expectancy. “Will you blame me?”
“Of course not! It’s not your fault,” Shi Baoyou replied quickly.
Then she sighed deeply and continued in a soft voice, “In fact, I know that even if you don’t fight for it, others would force you to. Unfortunately, I can do nothing to help you.”
“It’s great that you can understand me.” Seeing that he finally convinced her, Mo Junhao almost showed a smile of victory on his handsome face.
Shi Baoyou sighed again. “Don’t worry. I won’t pester you anymore in the future.”
Mo Junhao’s smile was frozen on his face.
“No. You… Baoyou, will you break up with me?” Mo Junhao couldn’t help but question her loudly.
“Of course not.” Shi Baoyou denied it in a hurry.
Before Mo Junhao sighed with relief, she continued in a disappointed voice, “But you will marry Qingxue. I will be too immoral if I am between you. I can’t do that!”
Mo Junhao had planned to persuade Shi Baoyou to be his secret lover, but he didn’t expect that this woman was so naïve and stupid. If she couldn’t marry him, she would stay away from him.
What would he play with?
He raised his hand and forced Shi Baoyou to look up at him. Then he asked, stressing each word, “Don’t you love me?”
Shi Baoyou was forced, so she had tears in her eyes instantly. Then she stubbornly turned away and kept quiet.
“Answer me,” Mo Junhao turned her head back and requested coldly.
Shi Baoyou could do nothing but stutter, “Yes, I love you!”
“If you love me, just be with me.” Mo Junhao thought Shi Baoyou was pure and ignorant and wouldn’t understand if he beat around the bush, so he said straightforwardly.
Shi Baoyou heard the man she loved say what she dreamed of, and then she looked joyful, but soon, she got worried.
She understood what Mo Junhao meant by saying “be with him”. She wouldn’t be the fourth prince’s wife, and even in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she probably wouldn’t be his concubine. She could only be his lover without a title.
Even though Shi Baoyou loved Mo Junhao, she couldn’t do something so shameless and immoral.
“But…”
“No but!” Mo Junhao interrupted Shi Baoyou rudely, and only displeasure was left on his face.
He was annoyed enough after he was refused by Shi Qingxue. Who was Shi Baoyou? He liked her, which was her great fortune, but she wanted to refuse him?
Shi Baoyou kept silent after Mo Junhao yelled at her. She raised her tearful eyes and looked at him with a grievance.
Mo Junhao instantly realized that he frightened her, so he softened at once and comforted her gently, “Don’t be scared. I didn’t mean it!”
“You yelled at me!” Shi Baoyou endured it in the beginning, but after he comforted her, tears fell from her eyes.
Mo Junhao got helpless as she cried easily. He had to put his palms together and beg for mercy. “Baoyou, good girl, stop crying. When you cry, I feel heartbroken.”
Shi Baoyou rarely turned her head willfully and retorted softly, “No. You love Qingxue, not me.”
“Why is it not you? If I don’t like you, why did I come to see you frequently these days? Why did I forget my identity in front of you?” Mo Junhao hurriedly explained.
It was exactly the same as Zhou Ruyu’s analysis.
Hearing that, Shi Baoyou showed the sweet happiness on her face involuntarily.
She was not as angry as before, but she just lowered her head and whispered, “Even so, you won’t marry me!”
No matter how generous and graceful Shi Baoyou showed, she couldn’t be generous when she faced the man she loved.
Bitterness and jealousy were hidden in her query.
Mo Junhao noticed that and felt more complacent in secret. As expected, Shi Baoyou loved him to the bone. He needed to seize this chance and keep her.
He rolled his eyes, and suddenly he had a plan.
Mo Junhao asked firmly all of a sudden, “Who said that I won’t marry you?”
Shi Baoyou’s eyes widened, and she gazed at Mo Junhao in doubt. She didn’t know if she should believe his words.
“Baoyou, the woman I really love is not anybody else but you… Can’t you believe my love for you for the sake of my sincerity?” Mo Junhao said sadly.
Shi Baoyou was certainly visibly moved and just asked in depression, “What about Qingxue?”
Till now, Shi Baoyou hadn’t made a distinction between her and Shi Qingxue, and she always compared herself with Qingxue involuntarily.
She didn’t have a clear estimation of herself at all.
Mo Junhao tut-tutted secretly but still looked calm. He said firmly, “I have said that I need to marry Shi Qingxue because I have no choice. Why don’t you believe me?”
While speaking, he grabbed Shi Baoyou and swore devoutly, “Baoyou, I know that you suffer from injustice as you are with me but have no title.
“But rest assured. After I succeed someday, I will treat you like the empress. Even so, you won’t believe me?”
“Yes…”
Shi Baoyou hurriedly denied his words and didn’t want him to misunderstand her.
Seeing that Shi Baoyou was tempted, Mo Junhao asked instantly, “So you agree with me?”
Shi Baoyou was still hesitant. After a long time, she finally made a decision and nodded slowly and firmly. “Hmm.”
“Great!” Mo Junhao was so happy that he held Shi Baoyou in his arms and kissed her lips without scruple.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shi Baoyou trembled and shrank her neck, calling in a low voice, “Your…Your Highness.”
“Hmm?” Mo Junhao answered casually but didn’t stop touching her.

Mo Junhao said sadly.Shi Baoyou was certainly visibly moved and just asked in depression, What about Qingxue?Till now, Shi Baoyou hadn't made a distinction between her and Shi Qingxue, and she always compared herself with Qingxue involuntarily.She didn't have a clear estimation of herself at all.Mo Junhao tut-tutted secretly but still looked calm. He said firmly, I have said that I need to marry Shi Qingxue because I have no choice. Why don't you believe me?While speaking, he grabbed Shi Baoyou and swore devoutly, Baoyou, I know that you suffer from injustice as you are with me but have no title.But rest assured. After I succeed someday, I will treat you like the empress. Even so, you won't believe me?YesShi Baoyou hurriedly denied his words and didn't want him to misunderstand her.Seeing that Shi Baoyou was tempted, Mo Junhao asked instantly, So you agree with me?Shi Baoyou was still hesitant. After a long time, she finally made a decision and nodded slowly and firmly. Hmm.Great! Mo Junhao was so happy that he held Shi Baoyou in his arms and kissed her lips without scruple.
