“You have to accept the flowers when they are delivered to you again,” he instructed her both softly and begrudgingly.

 “Are you sure about that?”

 “Just accept them!” He issued his final decision with cold resolution.

 “Give them to me after you accept them.”

 He stopped her under a street lamp, turned around, and used his hands to lift up her chin. Looking straight into her eyes, he declared gingerly and dangerously, “You are mine.”

 He would eliminate whoever tried to lay a claim on her one at a time. No exceptions!

 Cloaked under the dark night sky, the dim light of the street lamp cast an elongated shadow on a couple embraced in a passionate kiss…

…

 Lin Jingxuan’s health took a turn for the better after he rested for more than half a month. Meanwhile, the scar on his chest was healing well. Gu Feirou had also moved in with him to devote her attention entirely to him during this time.

 “Brother Jingxuan… M-My mother has urged me to return to the Blue Tower… Can you come back with me?”

 The man’s brows furrowed tightly when he heard what she said. “Why is she pushing you to return to the kingdom? Isn’t she coming over instead?”

 The woman grumbled. “Something unexpected came up so she cannot take a trip here anymore. Jing Xinze told me that I have an elder brother and he is now in Country L. Now, the family wants me to return too.”

“An elder brother?”

 “Yes, he’s my biological brother and he arrived in the country some time ago. She also brought up the topic of preparing me a harem…” she mumbled.

 The man was about to take a bite of the fruit in his hand when he stopped what he was doing. “What do you mean by ‘harem’?”

 “I’m not sure either. According to Jing Xinze, my mother has lined up a number of men for me.”

 Lin Jingxuan pursed his lips as he pondered. Indeed, the Blue Tower had retained a monarchy system. The men of the royal household could have a few wives and, likewise, the females in the family could enjoy the same privilege. As the princess of the Blue Tower Royalty, she naturally would get to keep a harem as well.

 “Brother Jingxuan, rest assured. I only want you in this lifetime. Only you will be in my life.”

 The man, however, could not contain the uneasiness inside him. When the harem of men came running and showered her with their attention, there would be no guarantee that he would be her only one.

By that time, she would be surrounded by men. That would not do!

 The more he thought about it, the more sullen he became.

 When a woman was surrounded by all kinds of men, her heart would take flight one day. When that happened, she would no longer want to help him and this would result in a tougher battle to win over the Lin inheritance.

 “What’s on your mind, Brother Jingxuan?” She waved her hand in front of his eyes to try to get his attention.

 Upon recomposing himself, he said, “Nothing much.”

 “Don’t worry, I won’t pay them any attention.” She reassured him as she peeled an apple for him.

 He slowly sat up on the bed, reached out to grab her wrist, and asked earnestly, “Xiao Rou, will you help me get my inheritance back?”

 “Of course! But the time isn’t ripe yet. I’ve already told my mother that I’ll return to the Blue Tower after I get what I want from the Lin Family. She said that this would depend on you, though.”

 “Depend on me? What does she want from me?”

 “I have to marry you. We are engaged, but she has yet to see her future son-in-law. Naturally, she wants to meet you now.”

 He frowned. “Son-in-law? If she was willing to accept me as her son-in-law, she would not have arranged a harem for you.”

 The woman held onto his hand. “Brother Jingxuan, what are you worried about? You are my man, and she will have to accept that. Otherwise, I won’t return to the Blue Tower.”

 The man smiled only after hearing her reassure him repeatedly.
