Chapter 1730: I Did This?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lingxi pretended to wake up later than him. The moment she woke up, she started acting. She looked extremely panicked as she quickly put on her clothes and got off the bed. She knelt on the ground and said anxiously, “P-Prince, don’t worry. No one will ever know. I’ll leave. Right now. No one will know. You were drunk last night, that’s why you acted like this. I know.”

With that, she planned to leave.

Xue Bai was an honest man. How could he not take responsibility? Hearing this, he hurriedly said, “Since I did this after drinking, I should take responsibility. Don’t go. By the way, what’s your name?” He only remembered that the person in front of him was a servant girl of the Yang family because this servant girl had brought tea to the front hall before, but he did not know what her name was.

“I… I’m Lingxi.” She paused for a moment, and tears fell from her eyes. She looked as if she had not expected this. “You… Will you take responsibility?”

“Yes, my family and the Academy have taught me to be bold and take responsibility.” This was what he was taught to do. Since he did it after drinking, he would take responsibility.

Lingxi was secretly delighted, but her eyes were still wet with tears. She pretended to reply with carefulness, “Prince, you don’t have to be like this. I am just a servant girl.”

“And you are a human.” Xue Bai said. “When I get home, I’ll tell my family that I’ll marry you someday.”

“Marry?” Lingxi was overjoyed, but she tried her best to suppress it on the surface.@@novelbin@@

“Naturally. No one in my family has ever taken a concubine, and I don’t have any plans of taking a concubine. I’ve always thought that when I’m older, I’ll be engaged and marry a wife. Since I’ve slept with you, I’ll marry you and you only so that you can be my wife.”

Lingxi was already ecstatic in her heart, but she pretended to say, “But how can I be worthy of you?”

“There’s no such thing as a match between our families. Regarding my marriage, my family actually will do as I wish. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this. I did this. This is my responsibility. Even if the family is angry, they’ll only be angry at me. It has nothing to do with you.”

Right then, there were noises coming from outside.

Based on the noise, he knew that it was Yang Yuancheng, Yang Wenwan, and Yang Pingting. Xue Bai quickly said, “You and I should put on our clothes. We can’t go out to meet them like this. We should at least put on our clothes properly.”

Lingxi quickly agreed.

Xue Bai and Lingxi were tidying up their clothes in the room. Yang Yuancheng and his siblings had already stopped at the door. Yang Yuancheng was already asking the servant boy. ” What’s wrong? Is he still not awake?”

The servant hesitated, but he still went forward and whispered to his young master and young miss, “He is awake. I heard some noises inside, but… It’s just…” He hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice even further. “However, in the middle of the night last night, the young prince seemed to have suddenly woken up and called Lingxi into his room. Then, he forcefully took Lingxi. When I came back from the toilet and happened to hear the noises, I didn’t want to disturb anything.”

Hearing this, Yang Wenwan felt as if she were in an ice cave, her whole body turned cold.

Yang Yuancheng was stunned.

“Nonsense!” Yang Pingting had always been hot-tempered, so she naturally scolded the servant boy immediately. “You silly servant, what nonsense are you spouting so early in the morning? Xue Bai is not such a person!”

The servant looked guilty, but he hurriedly begged for mercy. His voice was much softer than before, “Please, Miss, lower your voice. What if the prince hears us? Wouldn’t he know that it was I who said it?! It’s true, no matter how bold I can be, I wouldn’t dare to slander the young prince. It’s true, I even heard the young prince say that he would take responsibility and marry Lingxi.”
