Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Little White Flower smiled innocently, believing that Liu Rushuang would definitely be happier with Nangong Ba.

Liu Rushuang tried to pull her hand out, but Little White Flower held on to it tightly. As such, she had to use her other hand to pinch Little White Flower’s cheek, frowning as she seriously said, “Do you know what you’ve done wrong now, Little White Flower?”

“Eh?”

Little White Flower’s watery eyes widened. “What did I do wrong, milady?”

Seizing the moment of her distraction, Liu Rushuang pulled her hand out of Little White Flower’s grasp, hiding it as she seriously said, “I’m His Majesty’s wife, Little White Flower. How can I be with the lord magistrate?”

Before Little White Flower could come to a realization, Liu Rushuang pulled her little hand and press her back into her little stool, putting several dishes in her bowl and smiling, “Hurry up and eat, Little White Flower. Let’s go play afterward.”

“Okay!” Little White Flower started digging in at the sight of food in her bowl, though her eyes would keep darting between Liu Rushuang and Nangong Ba from time to time.

She found the governor much more good-natured than the emperor, not to mention his good looks… either way, she preferred the governor.

Still, it was so troublesome that her lady told her that she couldn’t be with the governor… why not?

Little White Flower frowned tightly then, finding her food not that tasty then.

At the same time, Nangong Ba quietly pulled her hand back, an imperceptible bitterness showing in his small smile.

Liu Rushuang put some dishes in her bowl as well then, and smiled caringly. “Stop drinking wine and eat more, Nangong Ba!”

Nangong Ba smiled dazzlingly and started eating.

“You should eat too, Shuang’er.”

Later, the trio had a stroll on the streets of Qinghe City after lunch.

Liu Rushuang was wearing her veil, while Little White Flower held hers and Nangong Ba’s hand, the latter remaining devilishly handsome as ever.

The combination naturally drew the attention of every citizen along the way.

“Look, that family is so good-looking!”

“Tut, tut… where did they come from? How could they be so gorgeous!”

“Ah! Look, look! Isn’t that man Nangong Ba, the richest man of Beiming?”

“Heavens! That’s Nangong Ba? He’s even more gorgeous than the rumors say!”

Such words of praise never ceased as they strolled along, and Little White Flower was naturally pleased that someone would call them a family. Still, the resemblance was there!

On the other hand, Liu Rushuang could not help remembering Han Moze when she heard the people’s words. She looked down at her belly, and somehow regretted leaving the palace.

To tell the truth, she was completely unable to leave that overbearing and ruthless man. No matter how bad his temper was or how violently cruel he was, she could not help loving him.

In the world, the cheesiest thing in the world is love: she fell for that man without control just because her senses felt that he was a good man, and that was all there is to it.

She turned to glance at Nangong Ba just then, who turned towards her as well, and flashed a perfect smile at her. Her mind could not help comparing his smile to Han Moze’s smile just then.

One was warm like a summer breeze and oozing charm, while the other was devilishly cold, and burned like flames.

An angel and a demon.

How did she end up choosing the demon?

And that demon selfishly desired to devour her, and hostilely demands no insolence from her.

And yet, she was that demon’s only treasure in his world, one which he would never allow others to touch or harm, to be enjoyed by him.

Many thoughts crossed Liu Rushuang’s mind along the way, and she ended up sighing quietly.

That tyrant must be furious right now!
