Chapter 566: Face smacking!
Translator: Lord bluefire
“Women have limitations, like pregnancy and childbirth that take up time... Women are also more emotional, making decisions based on their preferences...”
“There’s no doubt about the Princess’s identity, but she has an unstable foundation and no support in our Country A...”
As soon as the heads of the Luo and Ji families spoke, Jing Zhen immediately responded, “What does it matter if there’s no support or foundation? Hasn’t the support arrived today?’
Jing Zhen looked at Shen Ruojing, “When Dugu Xiao arrives later, remember to get closer to him.”
Shen Ruojing fell silent and nodded.
Jing Zhen asked again, “Is that okay?”
Shen Ruojing glanced at him.
Jing Zhen didn’t know that Dugu Xiao had targeted her in China, did he? But looking at him now, it seemed like he had it all planned out, and he clearly knew much more than she had thought!
Sensing Shen Ruojing’s gaze, Jing Zhen coughed and tried to cover up his uneasiness.
However, the head of the Yan family said, “I heard that Dugu Xiao has a strange personality and wants women to please him. He has taken many women under his wing. Is it appropriate for the Princess to demean herself to please him? This would damage the dignity of our Country A!
The three major families could try to fawn and intentionally please Dugu Xiao, but the King and Princess must maintain their dignity.
Otherwise, Country A’s royal family would become a joke.
The head of the Luo family immediately agreed, “Yes, Dugu Xiao is very disrespectful to women. It’s better not to let the Princess do this. Besides, our three families plan to establish relationships with Dugu Xiao through marriage. Only such relationships are unbreakable. The Princess can’t marry him as well, right?”
“Dugu Xiao won’t stay in Country A as he belongs to the Aplow family. The Princess’s search for a royal husband must involve someone who will stay in Country A, so how could Dugu Xiao agree?”
“This is simply a joke.”
Seeing the three heads of the families arguing again, Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze and spoke coldly, “Who said I’m going to marry him?”
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they heard Shen Ruojing say. “Is it true that as long as I can subdue the dark web organization, I can become the Crown Princess, and you will all be quiet?”
She was tired of these palace dramas.
Hearing this, the people from the three major families looked at each other. After a moment of silence, the heads of the Luo and Ji families nodded at the head of the Yan family.
So far, among the three major families, the Yan family was naturally the leader since they had produced an Empress Dowager. Therefore, the head of the Yan family spoke, “That’s correct. However, the Princess must not use her beauty to please him or demean the dignity of our Country A!’
Shen Ruojing nodded. “No problem!”
The heads of the three major families looked at each other.
Following this, everyone’s eyes revealed an expression of looking forward to a good show.
Dugu Xiao had a strange personality, and to please him, one must cater to his preferences. Therefore, daughters from the three major families started wearing red dresses and golden masks. On the other hand, it was evident that the Princess would not do this, so it was a far-fetched idea for her to impress Dugu Xiao with her pride.
Just as they were feeling confident, someone from outside came to announce.
“Mr. Dugu has arrived!”
Jing Zhen said, “Let him in!”
The people from the three major families immediately stood up and walked to the entrance to welcome him.
When they looked back, they saw Shen Ruojing sitting next to Jing Zhen, not coming with them, and they felt somewhat satisfied. At least, their Princess knew her place and didn’t show any signs of trying to get close to Dugu Xiao.
Thinking this, they saw a man in a dark purple suit walking over.
Dugu Xiao still had that sinister aura about him, and his suit was very flamboyant. His collar was open, revealing his chest, and he looked very provocative. His walking posture was as domineering as ever.
His gloomy eyes looked at the three heads of the families and then directly went past them. After that, his gaze suddenly locked on Shen Ruojing.
He paused for a moment.
This was his first time appearing in front of her after learning that Shen Ruojing was 518. When their eyes met, he even felt as if he had returned to their days together in the organization.
His eyes turned slightly red, but he immediately suppressed his emotions and walked into the banquet hall.
The three heads of the families hurriedly talked to him, trying to get close and build rapport. They also vaguely mentioned that their daughters loved wearing red dresses with a very humble attitude.
Listening to their words, Dugu Xiao pursed his lips and then refused. “No need,
I don’t like people who wear red dresses anymore.”
The head of the Yan family immediately asked, “Oh? So, what kind of clothing does Mr. Dugu like now?”
Dugu Xiao’s gaze immediately swept over Shen Ruojing.
Even after joining Country A’s royal family, Shen Ruojing still dressed casually.
Hence, he directly said, “Casual style.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the three heads of the families immediately sensed that something was wrong and turned their heads to look at Shen Ruojing in unison.
Their Princess was wearing casual clothes at the moment, so was Dugu Xiao teasing her?
Just as the three of them thought about this, they heard Shen Ruojing calmly say. “Dugu Xiao, you’re being presumptuous.”
The three heads of the families suddenly panicked.
The Princess should maintain her pride, but how could she say that Dugu Xiao was being presumptuous?
This was overcorrecting!
The three of them thought that it was over, and Dugu Xiao would definitely be angry.
But they didn’t expect what would happen next....
