Chapter 27

I'm stuck.

Stuck with him.

"Here. Try this one."

All-day long I was stuck with him picking my wedding dress because this bipolar guy decided he'll I'll marry me in five days. How merciful.

I thought that'll happen when we will go back to his kingdom and he just said it to 'gently' threaten me.

Chu~

I instantly moved away shocked and bewildered holding my right cheek before acting quickly and kissing his right cheek grinning like a child.

That's too sudden. My goodness. I thought I was going to die.

I whispered. "Dear, if you need us to act lovingly at least warn me or give me some sign."

"Was my kiss disgusting?"

"..."

That's not the confirmation I have in mind. Why are you looking at me like you are a dog?

"Li Jia Ying was just startled."

"You look horrified."

My bad, that was too obvious of me.

I sighed. "You're mistaken."

"You really won't reword your thought?"

I just smiled at him.

"Would it truly change your mind?"

"It would still comfort me."

In my peripheral vision, I saw Gu Mei Xiang entering looking like a manhwa princess with the first form of art.

Not good. This is bad news for my villain character. Well, not like I acted my role...

I quickly took action and sat as close as possible to ML. "Let me borrow your fingers a bit."

I told him and grabbed his hand playing with his fingers.

My, even though his hands feel rough and there are scars as it must be from training and fighting with his sword but it's quite slender, so perfectly carved like....ehehehe. Dang. My mind just went green.

I didn't know he was closely watching me when I looked up at him with a frown.

"Hmm?"

"It tickles."

"You're skin is thick."

"Wife, this husband is not that shameless."

"Yes, the wife believes you."

"Alright. If something comes up, your man can take care of it."

"..."

Cheesy. I just giggled and fiddled with his fingers.

"Greetings to the King of Yi and Elder Sister."

Speaking of the devil and she will come.

"This King and his wife also greets the Second Princess. Oh, the Second Prince is also here. Greetings, Your Highness."

Huh? I secretly glance back and indeed my brother just entered walking beside Gu Mei Xiang.

Now, that's something. What's with this dude? He hates going to these kinds of stuff tho.

I'll just ignore him.

"My Elder Sister l and the King of Yi truly have a good relationship. It makes everyone envious."

You're calling her your wife even if you're not married yet. That's what Gu Mei Xiang's words meant.

"Indeed. After all, it was love at first sight."

ML replied with his signature smile.

Hays. I just focused on his fingers so as not to make my disgust obvious.

"Sister."

Ignore him.

"It seems sister has forgotten already. It was just recently that she mentioned childishly becoming my wife. Now, brother is saddened you didn't tell me you have a husband already."

Ugh.

"Hmp!"

"Little sister, you're still mad when brother left you before? Brother won't do it again. Next time, we will this brother will invite you to the innermost of his garden and we will play there. What do you think?"

I excitedly turned around and smiled beautifully like a blooming flower, foolishly appeased by his words.

"Brother!"

I opened my arms making my way to hug him like a nine years old child. "That's a promise!"

"Then you don't hate brother anymore?"

He asked me patting my head.

"Brother is my most precious person. He is good! But not good in hiding as a brother!"

Yeah, you bastard. You're good at hiding away while dead set on getting me killed. In the first place, I've never done anything to trigger a death flag in your route.

"Brother, when will we play?"

I asked, seeing him secretly glancing behind me.

Li Jing patted my head, "Be patient. You should try to play more with His Highness, the King of Yi first."

If you say it like that, I do want to ask some of you s9me questions in a roundabout matter...

"But—eh?"

I felt Jin Hai's hand placed a hand on my shoulder pulling me close to him.

"Indeed, c"

"Y-Yea...Yes."

*smiles*

Ahhhh! The light.

"Husband is like the sun, so blinding."

In which the King of Yi merely laughed.

"You made my heart flutter."

Chu~

*stills*

!!!

Act, Jun Xue! Act!

"Ehihi!"

I giggled rubbing my head against his chest. If only I could squeeze him with my arms...

See? Can't you see we're acting lovey-dovey? So screw off your wheelers!

"Your Highness, these are the other wedding dresses solely made for Her Highness."

A servant said.

"Oh, it seems you are busy. Then we will leave first."

Gu Mei Xiang was silent before excusing herself.

"Not at all."

The King of Yi replied as Gu Mei Xiang and my brother left.

Come to think of it, in the novel my brother didn't appear with Gu Mei Xiang, there was no record of it.

A slight tap on my cheeks made me regain my composure.

"Hmm?"

As I took one of the newly made red wedding dresses it made me wonder how can this King of Yi's people make so many dresses and it accurately fit my body. So frightening, was his calculation so heavenly that he knows beforehand about marrying me? His way of preparation is outstanding.

"What are you thinking?"

I frowned and looked at the servants surrounding us before turning to him, giggling, "Where to play hide and seek!"

And there he goes again smiling mischievously.

"When you're done."

I'll make sure to make it faster and just ran back to my chamber and sleep. Being outside my protective room is always a vile meeting with every main character.

One protagonist is enough for me to see every day.

As the maids prepped me up I kept thinking about the Overlord. It's been two days... Every night at the same time I met him I would look at my window before returning to my chambers. Was it even worth it to wait for him?

The young duke already has Gu Mei Xiang, it's foolish for me to think again and make be close to him. That was too hasty for me.

I gritted my teeth.

Being with this male lead is such a pain in the ass. Everywhere he goes, women flock over him, a dangerous magnet. I swear this day forth, yes, I Jun Xue, Li Jia Ying will never fall for him. Will never, ever take the steps of those transmigrated and isekai'd modern people's steps! No fvck. Well, if we say fvck—no, let's think about that later.

"Princess? Is there something wrong?"

"Ehehe."

Calm your wildness. Have peace of mind. The northern wind blows the calming breeze. Starlight skies cover the mundane world. For a split second, I remembered a certain part of the novel where the male lead unabashedly bend the FL's body on the table and railed her from behind.

"Ahhhhhhhhh."

My peaceful thoughts were gone with that small reminisce. Oh why, of all the important events right now, why that! Am I that sexually deprived?! Gahhhh.

"P-Princess? We're... Um, do you feel your clothes very tight?"

Whoops. Sorry.

"No. No."

It's just my healthy mind, I mean corrupted mind doing some frivolous wonders.

I composed myself and tried to calm down reciting Disederata before shifting it to the lyrics of Popular Monster.

Hoooo~

"The life of a fool is foolish."

And the maids that heard me don't know how to react.

"Tehee~"

Alright, enough for my nonsense. I'll stop blabbering for now.
