Beigong Mingtian’s resistance to this marriage really shocked Gu Qiqi.

This was no ordinary successor.

This was the heir to the throne.

Beigong Mingtian had actually given up his throne to defend his marriage freedom.

That’s very impressive.

She was suddenly impressed with this older boy.

However, within seconds of her approving gaze, she realized that she had rejoiced a little too soon.

The queen said with a smile, “Yes, yes, I understand. Do you have a sweetheart, Tian Tian?”

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Gu Qiqi.

Gu Qiqi’s fingertips trembled.

What was happening?

Why did it feel like the flames of war were affecting him?

Indeed.

The next second.

Beigong Mingtian curled his lip. “Well, I have my own aesthetic and my own feelings. I don’t like being manipulated.”

As he spoke, he was caught off guard and reached out his long arm to hug Gu Qiqi!

Now silence prevailed.

It was self-evident what his taste was and what kind of person his feelings were aimed at!

Gu Qiqi was stunned.

What did he mean?

She looked up and gave him a sharp look.

She couldn’t beat him too hard in front of his parents, so she reached out and pinched his back.

Beigong Mingtian felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He didn’t frown. Instead, his features relaxed.

Well, as long as he could be intimate with her, even if it meant getting beaten up, he was so willing.

Gu Qiqi was even angrier when she realized that he didn’t react.

She whispered in his ear, “Beigong Mingtian, are you crazy? If you want to escape the marriage, why are you dragging me into it? I don’t want to be your shield! Let go! Don’t force me to beat you up in front of your parents!”

Beigong Mingtian was slightly disappointed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. He raised his chin proudly and replied in a low voice, “Gu Qiqi, isn’t this a little unkind? I helped you get the green Tridacna, and this is how you repay me?”

Gu Qiqi felt guilty for a moment.

Yes, everything started because of her.

If she hadn’t dragged him to steal the green Tridacna, he wouldn’t have missed the auspicious time of marriage.

Even if he missed it himself, it wouldn’t make his mother suspect that he’d found someone on the side and refused to marry.

She had basically gotten herself involved.

Even worse, there would be a price to pay for taking the green Tridacna.

She couldn’t bring herself to be one of those bastards who stole and denied it.

Gu Qiqi struggled in her heart for a long time before she made up her mind. “Forget it! I don’t want the green Tridacna anymore! I’m sorry, the repayment you want is too expensive. I can’t afford it!”

With that, she seemed to have the intention of leaving.

Beigong Ming let go and did not force her to stay.

However, he added lightly behind her, “It’s not good to leave after taking advantage of people, right? So Gu Qiqi, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t acknowledge others after eating their things?”

Gu Qiqi staggered. “F*ck, Little Tian Tian, you’re too dirty…”

When had she taken advantage of him!

That was slander!

What blatant slander!

However, Beigong Mingtian opened the door and casually pointed to the side of the bedroom, beside the bathtub. “You didn’t eat it. Your pet did.”

Beside the bathtub, the precious green Tridacna that had fallen to the ground had already been eaten by the little dirty turtle one by one!

On the other hand, the little dirty turtle, that had eaten until its stomach was round and full, was burping and greeting Gu Qiqi. “Master Silver, it’s so delicious… One more piece and I can level up…”

Gu Qiqi was speechless.

Damn, little dirty turtle, you have no morals. You actually… ate it all just like that.

And Beigong Mingtian, aren’t your eyes too good?
