NovelEnglishReluctant to part with (1)
When Mu Mingtang realized what “thank you gift” meant, she was utterly dumbfounded for a moment. Soon after, her face turned red from shyness.
At this moment, the girls from the Zhu family subconsciously looked at the young and handsome prince, and then at the blushing princess. They lowered their heads shyly after realizing what had happened.
After seeing Zhu family members’ facial expressions and movements, Mu Mingtang felt even more embarrassed. She couldn’t stop herself from glaring at Xie Xuanchen and blaming him in her heart as she gritted her teeth secretly. ‘How can this person make fun of her in front of outsiders?’
Seeing Mu Mingtang’s expression, Zhu Yang Hong felt that she had become angry, so he made up an excuse to leave hurriedly, showing great understanding about the situation.
The cheeks of the Zhu family’s sisters became slightly red, and they didn’t dare to look up, so they quickly bowed and left. However, once they left the palace, they could not stop themselves from bursting into laughter.

After the Zhu family left, Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen and said angrily: “What did you say in front of the guests?!”
“Am I wrong?” Xie Xuanchen didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what he said, “I had already received you as my thank you gift when you married me.”
“This…” Mu Mingtang, who became speechless after hearing Xie Xuanchen’s words, pointed at him angrily and said: “You are arrogant!”
“You know that there is a rule in the army which forbids soldiers from accepting gifts from other people, but it’s okay to receive a gift once.”
“You are still saying it! I don’t care about you. I’m moving back to my chamber today.” Mu Mingtang said, annoyed.
Hearing that Mu Mingtang would move to her chamber, Xie Xuanchen immediately fell silent.
‘Oh! This is why people say men must not quarrel with their wives. It turns out no matter who wins the argument, the final victory belongs to the wife.’ He thought deep in his heart.
Xie Xuanchen, who didn’t want Mu Mingtang to move out, immediately regretted his actions. He held Mu Mingtang’s hand and said without blinking: “Mingtang, I was talking nonsense, so please don’t be angry. Didn’t you say that it is not good to be angry on the first day of the New Year? So let’s not be angry, okay?”
“I’m not angry. Let go of my hand. Anyway, didn’t we decide this earlier? I think I should move to my chamber today. Well, I should have moved some time ago, but I forgot about it because I was busy.” Mu Mingtang said while trying to pull back her hand.
‘Ah! How can she still remember this matter? I regret it so much.’ Xie Xuanchen’s mood became gloomy after he remembered their agreement which was made some time ago. He didn’t even remember it before Mu Mingtang mentioned it now.
“Mingtang, today is the first day of the New Year. If you moved today, then you would not be able to have a fixed place to stay for the whole year.” Xie Xuanchen tried to coax her into not moving from his chamber.
Mu Mingtang glanced at him and said: “So, I can just move tomorrow?”
Xie Xuanchen, who was thinking hard to come up with ways to prevent Mu Mingtang from moving out, immediately shook his head to show his disagreement.

Mu Mingtang felt moved emotionally so she deliberately asked, “Why?”
Previously, Xie Xuanchen had always used the excuse that it would attract the attention of the emperor and cause unnecessary trouble for both of them. Additionally, he also mentioned that he would make other arrangements when the time comes.
Xie Xuanchen silently looked at Mu Mingtang for a while and said softly, “Because I don’t want you to.”
Although Mu Mingtang was stunned by his reply, it made her anger lessened a lot.
Initially, Mu Mingatang thought that she would move to her own chamber after Xie Xuanchen recovered from his illness, and Xie Xuanchen also agreed with her. But now, Xie Xuanchen’s sudden words made Mu Mingtang’s heart skip a few beats.
‘What does he mean?‘ (Mu Mingtang)
Seeing Mu Mingtang’s stunned expression, Xie Xuanchen felt really amused and he almost ended up smiling.
However, he soon noticed that there was something wrong with Mu Mingtang’s expression, so he immediately calmed down, clenched Mu Mingtang’s hand, and said in a persuasive tone, “Think about it from another perspective, after you’re gone, what am I going to do if my condition suddenly worsened and I needed immediate treatment?”
