Don’t Publicize Our Relationship

“Calm down, please, Crown Princess. You can do anything you like, as long as you don’t disturb the crown prince and remember to keep noise down,” Thunder replied respectfully.

“You…” The man rendered Li Shengxia speechless by his blunt words.

That was it! However, the energy he exuded was truly terrifying. Her intuition told her not to provoke the man.

She decided to endure it!!

The furious woman bit her lips. Bored, she grabbed a rag and began wiping down the table.

Out of her expectation, bodyguard

“Tang Sanzang”

came around again…

“Crown Princess, please stop doing that! That’s a servant’s job.”

“You’re relentless!” she yelled angrily. This was the first time she had lost her cool at someone else. Thunder was really getting on her nerves today.

“Sorry, Crown Princess, this is the crown prince’s order. You may bring up your dissatisfaction directly with him if you wish.”

“…” As if! Why was Mo Nianchen’s bodyguard more of a nuisance than him? She said while glaring furiously at the man. “Can I at least take a nap?”

Thunder kept quiet.

However, the woman still felt rather uneasy. She questioned with her eyebrows raised with curiosity, “Are you going to watch me sleep?”

The other man replied in a serious manner, “Crown Princess, please enjoy your rest. We’ll be around for your protection.”

“…”

There was no way she could fall asleep under those circumstances.

The woman tossed and turned on the bed.

She felt oppressed by the man’s watchful gaze. Just as she was about to doze off, Thunder’s voice rang in the air again.

“Crown Princess, you’re tossing and turning too much.”

“…” She wished her eyes were the scorching sun so she could burn the man to death! She shut her eyes and began counting sheep. “One sheep, two sheep, three…”

“Crown Princess, please do it quietly.”

“Crown Princess…”

“Crown Princess…”

“Oh goodness! Leave me alone! Are you the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang?! Just say whatever you need to say at one go!” She could not bear with the man any longer!

“What’s the matter? You’re upset?” A familiar voice suddenly rang in the air.

“How could I not be when everything I do is somehow wrong!” she shouted angrily out of embarrassment.

That voice replied flatly, “I can fire the man if you don’t like him. There’s nothing to be upset about.”

It was only until then that she realized the voice did not belong to Thunder. She lifted her gaze to find Mo Nianchen looking back at her. “Um… There’s no need for that.” The man walked toward her before her voice trailed off. Nervous, she enquired immediately, “What do you want?”

“It’s time for a bandage change.” His magnetic voice entered her ears.

This caught her by surprise. “Your job here is done. You may leave now,” he ordered the bodyguards.

The men left the room almost instantly.

A surge of frustration rocked through her upon seeing the relentless Thunder being dismissed simply with a flick of a finger… She genuinely thought of asking the man to not let Thunder near her sight in the future. That bodyguard would drive her mad someday.

By the time she recollected her thoughts, she discovered Mo Nianchen had already removed the old bandage on her palm and replaced it with a new one. Her heavily bandaged palm now looked silly. It was as thick as a bear’s paw.

All of her patience had been exhausted by now. “Mo Nianchen, is it your habit to make a mountain out of a molehill?”

He raised his eyebrows elegantly and replied in a charming voice, “Why would you say that?”

Exactly! Why would she say that? Was it not obvious enough? He could do whatever simply because he was filthy rich! However, could he not waste her time?

She glanced at the man, speechless, and silently swallowed those words to the back of her throat.

He enquired upon witnessing the frustration expression on her face, “Is it boring being with me?”

“What do you think?” she replied with another question.

Nothing she did seemed to be right. She could not make noise nor touch anything in the room. Anyone else in her position would suffer a nervous breakdown too!

The dismay was audible in his voice. “Then I’m more determined to make you live under my control,’ he said coldly.

A shudder passed through her. Living like this for half a day was enough to make her miserable! She would undoubtedly lose her mind if this was to be her future. Therefore, she quickly tried to guide him into thinking otherwise. “Don’t you think this is a waste of resources? Is it possible to keep moving these things every day?”

A serious expression washed over his face. “You’ve got a point. You’ll begin working at Emperor Heritage starting from tomorrow,” he replied in a steady tone.

“What?” The man always acted in opposition to her! She bit her lips angrily. “I don’t have the time for that. I still need to manage my dad’s company.”

He smiled slyly. “Don’t you worry about that. You showed up every day in the past but was your presence actually required?”

He definitely had a wicked tongue!

“Oh, fine,” she replied reluctantly.

Indeed, it was exactly because she was weak and useless that he could have total control over her! There was no way she could fight against him!

“I can assign you to whichever department you prefer but you have to be obedient.”

What was the alternative? Would he not force her to work in his company if she refused to listen?

However, he was still not entirely heartless for giving her options.

“The design department,” she replied without hesitation.

He raised his eyebrows.

The design department? The woman was bright enough to choose a department not too far away from his office. Nonetheless, he already knew her answer when he posed the question.

She had always dreamed of becoming a designer since her childhood. It was out of his expectations that she had not chosen to further progress her studies in that direction.

At least her choice right now meant something never changed.

He twitched his lips into a smile. “I’ll make the arrangements for you to start tomorrow.”

“Thanks!” She was tempted to roll her eyes at the man. On second thought, she would rather work at Emperor Heritage than to be constantly pestered by “Tang Sanzang.”

“You performed well today thus I’ll grant you a wish. Tell me, what do you want? Apart from exempting you from work, I can promise you anything within my power.”

Was he trying to make up for her humiliation earlier?!

She glanced at him quickly before replying. “I don’t mind going to work but please don’t publicize our relationship. That’ll make me uncomfortable.”

She really did not want everyone in the company addressing her as the crown princess. There would unquestionably lead to her having a mental breakdown! It would be for the best if no one knew about their relationship. She feared history would repeat itself and she did not want to become the common enemy that got constantly cursed at again.

“Is this what you want?” he questioned with a frown.
