Engagement Annulled? Now The Husbands Kneel and Beg for Her Favor

Jiang Qingli had only meant to get closer and tease the dazed little wolf.

But someone suddenly burst through the door in the quiet hospital wing. Caught off guard, she stumbled forward and fell into the arms of the boy, who still had his eyes closed.

Yi Nuo’s eyes snapped open at the sound. He didn’t even have time to process the warm sensation brushing against his cheek; his first instinct was to raise his arms to protect her, press down the hiked-up hem of her skirt with one hand, and pull the blanket over her.

Only then did he look up at the newcomer. ”Mr. Que, is something wrong?”

At the doorway, Que Feiling was frozen in the pose of having just pushed the door open. His ruby-like pupils contracted sharply, as if he had received a great shock.

’He was shocked that they would actually do *that* in a hospital room.’

The disbelief in the red-haired boy’s eyes was so intense that even though Jiang Qingli hadn’t been thinking along those lines, his stare made her feel the awkwardness of being caught in an intimate moment.

Especially since... she was now completely shielded in Yi Nuo’s arms, with a blanket draped over her.

’No one would believe it if I said nothing was happening.’

Jiang Qingli forced herself to remain calm, her tone as even as possible. ”What is it? Did you need me for something?”

”I... I...”

Que Feiling finally snapped out of it, but he didn’t know what to say, his eyes darting around.

He’d been waiting for Jiang Qingli to come to the hospital ever since he woke up.

After waiting for several hours, he finally received a notification of her arrival.

He had originally planned to be a little more reserved and just send Jiang Qingli a message.

But then that classless savage, that wild leopard Qin Muye, had burst into his room, telling him to get lost now that he was awake and not to shamelessly hang around and affect his female master.

When Que Feiling saw that Qin Muye looked ready to kidnap him and haul him away, he seized the opportunity while Qin Muye was talking to someone else and made a mad dash over to find Jiang Qingli.

’Who knew that the moment I pushed open the door... I’d see another male seducing her!’

’I was too late!’

’Does this mean I won’t even get to be Sixth?!’

Grief washed over Que Feiling, and his heart filled with despair. He couldn’t even manage the speech he had mentally prepared.

”It’s okay, take your time.”

Jiang Qingli offered a polite smile.

At the same time, under the blanket, her hand fumbled to push away Yi Nuo’s hand, which was still holding down her skirt. She gripped his wrist, planning to get up discreetly.

She lifted the blanket, but just then, more footsteps sounded from the doorway.

An intense gaze landed on her, feeling like needles on her back.

Jiang Qingli’s heart tightened. A bad feeling washed over her as she stiffly raised her head, meeting Qin Muye’s piercing gaze.

The snow leopard youth stood in the doorway, his eyes burning like torches as they darted back and forth between the two of them.

He spoke, his voice deceptively steady. ”What are you two doing?”

He must have heard the news and rushed over, as he was still in his military uniform. His usually unruly silver hair was meticulously combed, and his furrowed brow made him look particularly imposing and serious.

But the heavy rise and fall of his chest showed that Qin Muye was absolutely, thoroughly provoked.

Jiang Qingli glanced down at her current situation, and her scalp went numb.

’A moment ago, I could have still claimed I just fell by accident.’

’But now...’

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she was just lifting the blanket to get off Yi Nuo’s lap.

’No matter how you look at it, it looks like we’re getting up after doing the deed.’

Jiang Qingli cleared her throat. ”I accidentally fell just now. Thankfully, Yi Nuo caught me.”

Qin Muye slowly advanced, his gaze dark. ”Is that so?”

Yi Nuo looked back fearlessly. ”Is the Prince questioning Miss?”

”Do you have any right to speak here?” Qin Muye let out a humorless laugh. ”You restless... thing. We paid for you so you could climb into your master’s bed?”

His voice was thick with suppressed fury. In that short sentence, he had to stop himself several times from spewing a torrent of vulgarities.

The pressure from the S-class male plunged the room into a terrifying silence.

But Yi Nuo acted as if he hadn’t heard the condescension in the other’s words, meeting his gaze calmly.

Out of Jiang Qingli’s sight, the gray wolf boy’s lips even curled into a slight smile, his tone perfectly placid. ”The Prince also knows that I belong to my master.”

The implication was that his master had tacitly approved of all his actions.

’Who was Qin Muye to point fingers here?’

How could Qin Muye fail to understand the subtext?

He took a deep breath, his gray-blue eyes locked on Yi Nuo, looking as if he might transform into his beast form and tear him limb from limb at any second.

While the two were facing off, Jiang Qingli quickly got off the bed and patted Qin Muye on the waist.

Her hand moved to his back, and she began to stroke it, as if soothing a cat with its fur on end. ”There, there,” she said softly, ”it’s just a misunderstanding...”

Qin Muye looked up at the girl, his brow furrowed even more tightly. ”What misunderstanding?”

”I wanted to talk to Yi Nuo, so I didn’t notice the door opening. I fell, Yi Nuo caught me, and he covered me with the blanket so I wouldn’t be exposed.” Jiang Qingli blinked. ”That’s all that happened.”

’This was the truth, and every word she said was true.’

Que Feiling, having collected himself, chimed in with certainty, ”That’s right, that’s exactly what happened.”

’He pretended he hadn’t seen Jiang Qingli leaning so close to Yi Nuo.’

’After all, a qualified ’other man’ has to learn to ease the female master’s burdens.’

’Qin Muye is too emotional right now. I should just play along with him for now.’

Hearing this, Qin Muye scoffed.

’In truth, he could tell that Jiang Qingli was trying to cover for Yi Nuo, hoping to prevent the conflict from escalating.’

’But that wasn’t important.’

’There were three males here.’

’Even though Jiang Qingli had been sitting on that shameless dog’s lap just moments ago, she had come to *his* side first to soothe *his* emotions.’

’What did that prove?’

’It proved that she cared about his feelings the most. That she loved *him* the most.’

’As for the other males...’

’Heh, they were just toys.’

’A bunch of pathetic, unpresentable creatures who could only attract her attention by throwing their bodies at her. Would a mature male like him stoop to their level?’

’He and Jiang Qingli even had a cat together! Could any of the others compare to that?’

Suppressing his anger, Qin Muye kissed Jiang Qingli’s cheek in front of everyone and offered a considerate reminder, ”Your lipstick is smudged. Go touch it up. I’ll accompany you to make your report later.”

His calmness was a bit of a surprise to Jiang Qingli.

’My little puppy is getting more and more mature,’ she mused as she walked into the restroom.

The moment the door closed, Qin Muye’s expression turned grim.

Just because Qin Muye didn’t pursue Jiang Qingli’s cover-up didn’t mean he would tolerate it from others.

The Prince glanced at Yi Nuo, who still had a faint red mark on his left cheek, and sneered, ”I am her Beast Husband, and I am also your master. Who gave you the nerve to talk back? Do you really think she’d be interested in a cheap piece of trash like you who disrespects his superiors?”

’Jiang Qingli had made an innocent mistake, but she was just an honest, simple girl.’

’It was this lowly thing who, taking advantage of his position as butler, had been constantly seducing Jiang Qingli, causing her to be momentarily blinded.’

Seeing him lash out, Que Feiling wanted to help ease Jiang Qingli’s troubles and tried to mediate. ”Buddy, you’re being a little...”

”Who the hell is your buddy?” Qin Muye shot him a cold glare. ”Don’t you know how to knock? You classless piece of trash.”

’If he hadn’t startled Jiang Qingli by not knocking, would she have fallen into another male’s arms?’

At this thought, Qin Muye couldn’t help but grind his canines.

’These damned males.’

’If it weren’t for them, how could Jiang Qingli have ever made a mistake!’

It felt like his insides were twisting into knots. The more Qin Muye looked at the two shameless things before him, the angrier he became.

At that moment, he suddenly found himself missing Xie Youchen.

If his brother-in-law were here, he could fire this shameless, bed-climbing trash Yi Nuo with a single sentence, and while he was at it, use his position to force Que Feiling to get the hell out of the Lower District.

With Jiang Qingli gone, the two men being insulted by Qin Muye had no intention of just taking it.

The aura of an S-class male filled the room.

War was about to break out.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A cheerful voice rang out:

”Well now, isn’t this a lively party.”
