They were playing around and laughing.
When the butler and secretary general who were following secretly behind saw this, they were surprised.
The Secretary General wanted to stop the Third Prince’s actions, but the butler pulled him back.
“His Highness is leaving tomorrow. He seldom has such a simple and happy time. Why don’t you let him let loose a little?”
The Secretary General frowned, his expression serious. “Butler, His Highness is not in line with the Royal rules and decorum doing this.”
“Rules are also set by people. As long as we don’t say anything, no one will know.” The butler pulled the Secretary General away. “His Highness is more calm and restrained than any of us. He knows what to do and what not to do. We don’t have to worry too much about him.”
Gu Meng and Ye Qing’s clothes were soaked and they lay on the beach and watched the sunset after they got tired chasing each other around.
Gu Meng stared at the sunset for a while and could not help looking at the man beside her. He was wearing a mask, showing only a pair of lips and his strong and firm jaw.
Even so, she thought he looked amazing.
“Brother Ah Dai, can I ask you a question?” She looked at him with her head tilted sideways.
Her hair was a little messy and a few strands of hair fell over her forehead, slightly covering her clear and bright eyes. Ye Qing raised his hand and brushed those strands of hair away, his voice deep. “Mm, ask away.”
His fingertips were cool from the sea water and the moment it touched her forehead, her heart beat wildly and her fan-like eyelashes fluttered. “Did you touch Xue’er when you were the Third Prince…” Afraid that he would get angry, she added hurriedly. “You can choose not to answer too.”
Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng and felt that she looked cute. He smiled. “Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”
Gu Meng glared at him with a pout. “Why are you like this? Forget it, I don’t want to know anymore.”
“I didn’t touch her.”
Gu Meng’s eyes widened. “Is that a lie?”
“It’s the truth.”
Gu Meng rolled over and lay down beside him, looking at his deep and dark eyes. “Really?”
“Next topic.”
As soon as his voice fell, he was kissed by the girl.
Ye Qing did not move or push her away.
Everything seemed to have stopped. Even the sound of the waves disappeared, leaving only their breaths and heartbeats.
Gu Meng knew that she would not have another chance to kiss him except today.
“Don’t know how to kiss?” He looked at the girl with red cheeks and bright eyes.
Gu Meng hummed softly.
“Do you still want to?”
He was wearing a mask so she could not see his expression. She could only see his eyes that seemed to be able to devour people and she paused slightly. “I-I don’t know how.”
She had just finished speaking when their positions changed.
The fresh and enchanting masculine breath was unfamiliar and charming to Gu Meng. Looking at him, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Grabbing the back of her head, he lowered his head and kissed her.
…
Gu Meng had a smile on her face when she returned home in the evening. Although it felt like an unrealistic dream, she was really happy.
After returning home, Gu Meng took a bath and changed her clothes.
Coming out from her room, Gu Meng heard people talking in the yard and she went to the window to take a look.
“Mrs Gu, don’t worry. The partner I found for Mengmeng is one of the richest families in the neighboring village. As long as you can persuade Mengmeng, you will be satisfied with the betrothal gift.”
“Oh by the way, they have only one request, that is, Mengmeng is still a virgin.”
Mrs Gu nodded. “Don’t worry about this. Mengmeng’s father and I are very strict with her. We will never allow her to have a relationship with a man before marriage.”
“That’s good.”
After the matchmaker left, Mrs Gu went back into the house and was shocked when she saw Gu Meng standing by the door with a fierce gaze. Mrs Gu patted her chest and said angrily, “Why are you standing there without making any sounds? Do you want to scare your mother to death?”
“Do you still know that you’re my mother? You’re only thinking about how to sell your daughter all day long. If you accept betrothal gifts again, you get married yourself or let Gu Jiao get married!”
Slap!
Mrs Gu slapped Gu Meng angrily. “You are twenty-three years old today. Do you think you’re still seventeen or eighteen? In our fishing village, you are an old leftover girl. In another few years, are you going to be a nun or stay in this house and depend on me and your father for the rest of your life?”
Gu Meng touched her face that had turned red from the slap. It hurt, but she had turned numb to it.
“So you still remember that it’s my birthday today!”
“What do you think? Your brother has just been pulled back from the gates of Hell, do you think we’ll come back to celebrate your birthday? I still have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning. You’d better stay at home! When your father comes back, the marriage matter will be settled. Don’t even think about refusing!”
Gu Meng ignored Mrs Gu and turned around, going back to her room.
Mrs Gu was furious at Gu Meng’s attitude.
Gu Meng sat by the window, with her face resting on her hands and she stared out of the window in a daze.
She never thought of marrying again in this life.
Thinking about how the matchmaker said that the other party requested for her to be a virgin, she could not help but burst out laughing.
She wanted to give her body to Brother Ah Dai only.
No one else could get her.
Thinking of this, Gu Meng pushed the window open, jumping out of it.
…
When Ye Qing returned from the beach to the house where he had lived when he lost his memories, the butler and Secretary General came to advise him not to stay there tonight. The living conditions were so simple and bad that the place to have a bath was just a shower shed with a solar panel outside.
How could their Third Prince stay somewhere so deplorable?
In response, Ye Qing asked the butler and Secretary General to leave. He walked into the shower shed that could only accommodate him and took off his clothes to take a bath.
