C9 Brazen a Series of Schemes!

A sudden urge hit him.

"What... what did you do?" Jing'an shivered, standing rigidly, afraid to move.

Chu Jiuge had already released her grip on him, allowing him to breathe freely, yet his face was even redder than before. Initially, it was from holding his breath; now, it was from anger. Of course, he was also scared.

Earlier, he hadn't taken Chu Jiuge's words seriously. How could he, Jing'an, possibly wet himself in public? But now, he wasn't so sure. He didn't know what Chu Jiuge had done, but he certainly felt the urge now.

"That's not important. What's important is... if I want, you will lose control and wet yourself in public. Want to try, Little Young Master?" Chu Jiuge's voice was soft and gentle, like a lover's whisper, with a hint of tenderness.

But at this moment, Jing'an felt no romance, only shame, anger, and a tinge of fear. He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was terrified of humiliation. If people found out that the young man from the Xiao family was scared into wetting himself by a woman, he wouldn't just lose face; the entire Xiao family would be humiliated.

"What do you want? Speak!" His personal fate was minor, but the family's honor was not to be tarnished.

"Apologize, and then... admit that today's incident was your fault, not mine." With Jing'an's words, she could ensure her safety for now.

Jing'an, though afraid of losing control in public, was even more unwilling to admit fault. "No way. You wrote to me, asking to meet at the city gate. You want me to admit fault? You must be joking."

Yunhua hadn't heard Chu Jiuge's words, but she heard Jing'an's. "Chu Jiuge, you shameless woman. You wrote to Jing'an, begging him to meet you at the city gate this morning to run away with you, and now you want him to take the blame? You can't even own up to your actions. A woman like you isn't worthy of the North King."

"On one hand, you say I'm not worthy of the North King, and on the other, you claim I'm not worthy of him. So, Miss Yuen, do you think you are?" Alright, now she understood why Yuen Yunhua was giving her a hard time—it was all because of a handsome face.

"You... how dare you! Chu Jiuge, Jing'an is not someone you can covet. Stop writing him letters. Those letters... you have the nerve to write them, but I don't have the nerve to read them." Yuen Yunhua admired the North King but didn't dare to admit it.

The young aristocrats lived lavishly and freely, but...

They also had responsibilities and duties to fulfill, like marriage.

"What did I write that you can't bear to read? Besides, even if I did write them, what's it to you? I didn't write them for you." Chu Jiuge squinted, trying to recall if the original owner had ever written to Xiao Jing'an.

The original owner did have a slight admiration for Xiao Jing'an, but to Chu Jiuge, it was superficial, merely an appreciation for an outstanding and handsome young man.

No doubt, the so-called love letters were another setup. She just didn't know who was behind it all, orchestrating such a clever scheme...

Chu Jiuge chuckled, not bothering to explain that she hadn't written to Xiao Jing'an. Whoever was behind this had crafted it so well, they must have solid evidence. Her explanations would be weak and unbelievable.

Chu Jiuge had no intention of getting entangled with Yuen Yunhua and urged Xiao Jing'an to make a decision.

Would he choose to embarrass himself, or admit his mistake and walk away?
