Chapter 124: Extra
His cute and kind little wife—shouldn't she have finally gathered the courage to confess her love to him by now? Even if it was just throwing herself into his arms would suffice. How could she be so cold and heartless, so... ignoring him?
The prince, who had never been treated this way before, fell into deep doubt about his own charm. He sneakily glanced at his little wife, and when he noticed that her gaze still hadn't fallen on him, the prince froze for a moment, then quickly found a reason for it.
It must be because his little wife was too shy and pure. His little wife was probably now lost in worry about his unfortunate fate. She must think he was currently fretting over making a comeback. Fearing that expressing her love would distract his thoughts, she had forcibly held back this burning passion.
Alas, his considerate little wife loved him too much, placing herself too low in status.
Unfortunately, his noble and aloof self still couldn't reveal to his little wife how high a place she held in his heart.
The prince, said to have been deposed, stood stiffly by his little wife's door for a long time. Only when she still hadn't spoken again did he wither away and leave her room.
"You're saying I should act out the role of someone enduring humiliation while biding my time. Under the pressure of evil forces, I still haven't lost my fighting spirit. Through sheer willpower and perseverance, after countless trials, I return to the position of prince?" The prince furrowed his brow deeply. "Then... what about my little wife?"
"...According to the script, that person should go through hardships alongside you. During your lowest moments, they'll be with you, fighting side by side, and you'll develop a beautiful romance during this period. But..." Zhang Du glanced up, voice trembling, "that person seems to have no intention of experiencing all this with you..."
"Of course, you should believe! Though the process will be difficult..." Zhang Du seemed to realize something, his voice suddenly growing louder, "...with the deep love between you and that person, you two will surely have a happy and fulfilling ending!"
"I know that much, obviously." The prince's brow relaxed slightly but quickly furrowed again. "But can't I go see him at all during all these days?"
That cold gaze fell on Zhang Du mercifully, and Zhang Du brilliantly grasped the meaning hidden behind that look: what's the point of you if you can't even do this?
Zhang Du shuddered all over, never having reacted so quickly. "There... there is another script we could try."
Since neither *The Arrogant CEO and His Little Wife* nor *The Fallen Noble and the Charming Student* could satisfy the prince, they had no choice but to try another approach.
*Knock knock knock.*
Just as Qi An was about to sleep, the door was knocked on again.
The moment he opened it, he saw a certain handsome man leaning against the doorframe. The man suddenly gave a wicked smile. "Hm. Man, you have successfully captured my attention."
Seemingly afraid he would misunderstand something, the smiling man added, "I am Augustus II, the younger brother of Augustus."
"Though you are my brother's invited guest, you must understand—I have taken his position as prince. That man holds absolutely no status here now, so..." The man flicked his finger lightly, quite playfully and dominantly lifting his little wife's chin. "If you want to survive in this world, if you don't want to become a blood slave to those hideous vampires, you must learn to please me. Do you understand?"
Qi An looked at that face, utterly familiar, then looked at the clothes that had been changed. He truly didn't know what to say.
Could this man actually think that just by changing his clothes and switching his name, Qi An wouldn't recognize his alt account?
