Chapter 84:
It was he who made her angry.
Pei Yuqing felt somewhat at a loss, not knowing how to coax her out of her anger.
He…
After Xie Wanning finished applying and wiped, she stood up and walked toward him.
Pei Yuqing’s fingers slowly curled up, his heartbeat pounding like a drum, only feeling that each of her steps was stepping on his heart’s tip.
Xie Wanning stood still by the bedside, lowering her eyes to look at the man whose cheeks were already flushed with red tide, not knowing what he was thinking.
She looked quietly for a long time, until the man’s face on the couch had returned to normal, before saying: “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Hearing this, all the amorous thoughts in Pei Yuqing’s mind vanished without a trace. He moved his lips, and after a long while, said softly: “…Sorry.”
Xie Wanning hummed, saying indifferently: “Is that all?”
She bent down, lifted the chin of the man on the couch, their gazes meeting, looking into his slightly flickering eyes, and asked: “Do you have some strange fetish?”
Pei Yuqing looked puzzled: “What?”
Xie Wanning did not answer, continuing to ask: “You deliberately let Lu Ziyan in, right?”
Pei Yuqing stayed silent, tacitly agreeing.
Xie Wanning smiled, asking again: “You could have made it so that Lu Ziyan couldn’t return tonight, right?”
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing’s eyelashes trembled, and under her gaze, he softly hummed.
Xie Wanning’s teeth clenched, her finger joints suddenly exerting some force, her tone indifferent: “So, is this result the one you anticipated?”
Are you satisfied?
Pei Yuqing heard the implication in her words. He opened his mouth, explaining: “I just wanted to resolve everything at once, so he wouldn’t come entangle you anymore.”
“Oh, like that,” Xie Wanning released his jaw, “Do you think things will develop as you expected?”
Lu Ziyan won’t come entangle her?
“Did you ever think about me? After tonight, what kind of gossip will I face?”
She reached out to undo the knot buttons of his nightgown, stating indifferently: “I’m not afraid of other discussions, but if Lu Ziyan falls into despair from this, I will become the femme fatale in everyone’s mouths who seduced the empire’s general star. The common people who learn of this, your parents, the civil and military officials and nobles of the court, even His Majesty the Emperor will all spit on me.”
The current world appears calm on the surface, but in reality, wars have already been frequent, and the Great Khan has long had external threats and internal troubles.
In recent years, droughts and floods have been reported everywhere every year. The dynasty is overburdened, barely maintaining the current peaceful prosperity thanks to His Majesty’s wise governance, cherishing talent, and employing people without doubt.
But foreign tribes are eyeing covetously, and the fact that bandits are rising everywhere inside cannot be covered up.
Who is Lu Ziyan?
From a young age, he followed the Old Marquis into the military camp to train soldiers and practice martial arts, took command at fourteen, and at sixteen was already able to pacify a rebellion for His Majesty.
Now eighteen years old, he has campaigned east and west for two years without a single defeat, relieving His Majesty of countless worries.
He is the rising general star in the army. Several elderly generals praise him effusively and he is hailed as the empire’s hope.
Such a person, upon hearing the news of her marriage, rushed back to the capital from the Yunzhou battlefield continuously for several days and nights, just to beg her to turn back. Who wouldn’t sigh upon hearing this that he is a devoted and righteous good young man.
And she, the former fiancée who hastily married less than three months after breaking the engagement, what good reputation will she get?
As long as Lu Ziyan didn’t cause a scene on her wedding night, as long as they could get through tonight, with the matter settled, even if he returned to the capital later, she wouldn’t end up in such a controversial situation.
But this person clearly knew she feared most that her marriage would be affected, clearly knew she was marrying to get rid of Lu Ziyan.
Yet he schemed for Lu Ziyan to arrive on the wedding night, even letting him barge into the wedding chamber.
Just to resolve everything at once?
What could be resolved?
What could be resolved?
The young lady he longed for was undoing the knot buttons at his neck, the sweet fragrance from the girl’s body transmitting over unreservedly as she drew near. Pei Yuqing felt somewhat moved. Afraid of startling her, he slowly lowered his eyes, habitually wanting to hide the look in them, when he heard her words.
The surging heat in his body instantly stiffened. His eyelashes trembled, he grasped her hand that was undoing his buttons, and said hoarsely: “Don’t think of things too badly. He won’t fall into despair, and no one will gossip that you’re a femme fatale.”
Plundering is the nature of wolves, and Lu Ziyan has wolf nature. If he isn’t made completely give up, he will muster all his strength to snatch her away. No man would be willing to have the girl in his arms coveted by a wolf.
Pei Yuqing is also a man; he is no saint.
He wanted Lu Ziyan to give up completely—what could make him give up more easily than seeing their wedding night with his own eyes?
Besides, even if Lu Ziyan really couldn’t take the blow and fell into despair, that person wouldn’t allow it…
Not knowing what he thought of, Pei Yuqing’s eyes flashed, and he said warmly: “Wanwan, trust me. Even if I’m jealous, I won’t let you become the target of criticism.”
In any case, he could guarantee that this wedding chamber farce wouldn’t affect home and country matters.
However, what Pei Yuqing didn’t expect was that this young lady raised in the boudoir, who seemed spoiled and naive on ordinary days, could think of this layer.
Xie Wanning gave him an ambiguous glance, pushed away his hand, and continued her actions.
One, two, three.
The lapel opened halfway, she paused, reached in, and slowly caressed.
Her hand was already warm, but her voice was still cold: “You dared to let him in, aren’t you afraid I’ll be moved by him, regret marrying you, and leave you on our wedding night to go with him?”
Pei Yuqing pursed his lips looking at her, his eyes pitch black, no longer the usual clear and gentle warmth, saying nothing.
If it was before tonight, seeing him like this, Xie Wanning would probably be infatuated, but now her fingertip slid to a spot on his chest and gently pinched.
Hearing his breathing become heavy, she smiled slightly, smiling maliciously: “Does it feel good?”
“Hm?”
That light “Hm?” with a trailing tone was like a feather lightly brushing the heart’s tip, very enticing.
Pei Yuqing’s adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, nodding, reaching out to pull her onto the bed, but he heard her scoff.
“Did you forget? This hand of mine was just held and kissed by him for a long time. You still find this comfortable?”
Pei Yuqing’s whole body stiffened, slowly lifting his eyes to stare deadly at her.
Xie Wanning was not the least bit intimidated, smiling sweetly: “What are you looking at me like that for? Isn’t this what you hoped to see?”
“Our Young Lord Pei really does have a strange fetish, right?” She withdrew her hand, saying softly: “Likes watching his wife, with whom he has worshiped heaven and earth, being kissed and embraced by another man?”
“Wanwan!” He finally couldn’t control himself and lowered his voice, his eyes filled with a deep anger she had never seen.
Seeing him like this, the heart in Xie Wanning’s chest that felt like it was filled with lead finally stopped its aching fall.
Is that so? That’s how it should be.
Isn’t he always so suave?
What does he take her for?
She trusted him so much—what does he take her for?
