140 One and only wife!

After Zheng Liang handed the bathrobe to Yang Ning with his eyes closed, she ordered him to turn around and stand in the corner.

He was speechless at being ordered around by her like this but ended up following her directions anyway. Before he could protest, his legs were already moving toward the corner of the bathhouse.

Yang Ning chuckled to see him obediently following her orders and was impressed by the way he was following her words and not acting like a cold, jerk male lead.

She cleared her throat in hesitance before cautiously standing up in the bathtub to cover herself with the bathrobe. Her face blushed when she was standing in the bathtub with her naked body and had to change with Zheng Liang standing in the same room.

She wanted to send him outside the bathhouse so that she could change into her clothes properly. However, he was also not wearing any clothes on top and was showing off his perfectly toned abs muscles, and muscled chest to her.

Is he trying to seduce her by flexing his strong core muscles and broad shoulders to her? His face is already handsome enough, and on top of that, he has the perfect sculpture-like body.

How can she send him outside in this condition? Being single for the past 25 years, she was already drooling over this beauty in front of her, what can she expect from the other court ladies?

She is doing all of this to protect his royal dignity and reputation. She can see him naked like this because she is his wife.

Even though it was just a political marriage between the two families, it was still a marriage and they are husband and wife.

.....

Also, if she sends him back right away, it will only invite unnecessary rumors which will bother them later.

That’s why she changed her clothes while he stood in the corner as if he was getting punished for barging into the bathhouse without knocking on the door first.

She secured the bathrobe around her body with a tight knot and made sure that it would not open up in front of everyone easily.

“You can turn around now. Here. You can wear this now.” After wearing her bathrobe, Yang Ning went to pick up the bathrobe for Zheng Liang and threw it at him.

If she is completely covered, how can she allow him to roam around like this? He has to cover himself as well.

Although she would like to admire this beautiful view for a long time, it will not be good for her little maiden heart. That’s why she wanted him to cover himself before she would lose her self-control and leap at him.

‘No, Fang Li. Don’t be a pervert. You’re a lady, so act like one.’ She took a deep breath and calmed her racing heart.

Zheng Liang turned around to face her and was surprised when she casually threw the bathrobe at him.

With his quick reflexes he catched the bathrobe and stared at her in daze.

He pursed his lips when he saw her in the bathrobe. A while ago, he caught a glimpse of her without the bathrobe and he still cannot forget that scene from his memory.

She was wearing the bathrobe, but he cannot help but imagine her without the bathrobe.

It was a sight to behold, indeed.

He took a deep breath when his body temperature started to rise and his earlobes turned crimson in embarrassment.

He cleared his throat and started to wear the bathrobe as well, just as she asked him to. However, while he was putting on the bathrobe, he realized that something was not right.

“Why? Why did you suddenly stop?” Yang Ning frowned at him when Zheng Liang suddenly stopped his actions and did not wear the bathrobe properly.

He left it hanging on his shoulders and didn’t tie it properly. She swallowed her saliva as she could still see his toned abs muscles.

What does he want? She screamed in her head.

Yang Ning cleared her throat and said, “If you want, I can stand in the corner as well while you change.” After saying this, she stood in front of the wall.

Seeing his indifferent expressions, she assumed that just like her, he might also need some privacy to change his clothes in front of others.

Though it doesn’t look like so, she still gives him some privacy to wear his bathrobe properly.

“After changing we can go outside and talk about this matter in detail. I don’t think it will be proper to talk about it in the bath house.” She said seriously.

She was curious to know what he was trying to do by barging into the bathhouse while she was taking a bath.

After speaking her words, she was about to turn around when she noticed Zheng Liang’s incomprehensible gaze.

He stared at Yang Ning with indifferent expressions and stepped closer to her without saying anything.

“Why....why are you coming close? Stay right there.” Yang Ning panicked when he suddenly started stepping forward, walking towards her.

Her eyes were fixated on his bare chest which was coming closer to her.

She reflexively stepped back to avoid him but he didn’t stop walking forward. He continued to walk towards her and didn’t stop until she bumped her back into the wall behind her.

“What...what are you doing?” She cried in desperation when his face was only a few inches away from her and she had no way to go back either because her back was against the wall and he was standing in front of her.

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she could feel his hot breath on her face. More than that, the way he was staring into her eyes was making her feel shy and guilty for some reason.

But she didn’t do anything wrong, why is she feeling small in front of him?

While Yang Ning was panicking while sticking to the wall for her dear life, Zheng Liang’s lips curled up in a mischievous smirk to see her getting nervous like this.

He pursed his lips to not smile in front of her and looked into her eyes indifferently.

“Princess Yang Ning, Firstly it wasn’t me who wanted to come here while you were taking a bath. Just like you, I am equally surprised as well.” He said while looking coldly into her eyes.

Yang Ning raised her brows and listened to his words, wondering if he really had to push her into the corner to talk about this matter.

“Secondly, why do I feel that I am being ordered around here and there? I am still the Crown Prince of the Empire. I have never received anyone’s orders in my life. What right do you have to order me around here and there?”

More than Yang Ning who was ordering him around, he was shocked that he followed as she said and didn’t cut her off. How can it be possible? He wondered.

‘Ah! So this is the problem.’ Yang Ning exclaimed inwardly when she understood why he was acting like a thug suddenly.

It was because he felt that she was ordering him around.

Well, she was indeed ordering him around and while doing so, she forgot to mind her manners and at times she even called him without using the formal language which might sound unfamiliar and strange to him.

She did that because in reality, Zheng Liang and Fang Li were of the same age. In the real world, she is also 25 years old and felt a sense of companionship with him.

Looks like he didn’t like the way she ordered him around. However, does it sound so bad that he cornered her like this to interrogate?

Yang Ning took a deep breath and decided to not back down from her stance this time. She faced him and looked into his eyes rather than avoiding his gaze.

Zheng Liang was surprised when Yang Ning suddenly turned her face to his side and looked into his eyes and said, ” What right do you ask?”

” If you are the Crown Prince of the Empire, I am the Crown Princess of the Empire. Moreover, I am your one and only wife. Can I not ask my husband to do a few things for me?”

Zheng Liang was caught off guard by Yang Ning’s response. His ears turned red when she called herself his one and only wife.

From Yang Ning’s reaction in the morning, it looked as if she didn’t like that they slept on the same bed last night.

However, the way she called him her husband, he felt something strange building up inside him.

‘Husband?’

While many thoughts were going in Zheng Liang’s head, Yang Ning looked at him provocatively and asked, “Or do you feel embarrassed in following your wife’s words?”

“Your Highness, I am disappointed in you. I never thought that you would be a narrow-minded man like other people.”

“I only spoke to you in such a way because I assumed that our relationship is close enough to drop the formalities between us. If you feel offended by my words, then I will never speak to you in such a way in the future.”

“I apologize for acting rude towards you.” She apologized to him, however, after speaking her mind.
