Chapter 163 Angry

Chen Wan was in a very good mood and ate half a bowl more for dinner. She didn't feel anything while eating, but felt a little bloated afterward, so she took a walk in the yard to help digest the food.

After strolling back to the house, the feeling of boredom came over her, and Shen Wan decided to go to the study and ask Xie Jingyu for a few books to pass the time.

Shen Wan took Shan Hu to the study. The lights in the study were on, but Shen Wan knocked on the door twice and no one responded.

Is there no one in the study?

Chen Wan wondered where Xie Jingyu had gone since he was not in the study so late at night. She turned around and prepared to go back to the house. After all, it was someone else's study and it was not a good idea to barge in. But after taking two steps, Chen Wan turned around decisively and pushed open the study door.

Xie Jingyu had broken into her boudoir time and time again. She just went into his study to get two books to kill time. What was wrong with that?

The study was elegant, and there were so many books in it that Chen Wan was surprised. She walked towards the bookshelf, and then she heard faint noises coming from outside the window, like... a fight.

Chen Wan walked towards the window and found that there was a side door in the study, and it was open. Driven by curiosity, Chen Wan went out through the side door.

After walking a dozen steps, I saw Xie Jingyu practicing sword in a spacious open space under the moonlight.

The sword in his hand cut through the sky, making a clanging sound.

Shen Wan knew that Xie Jingyu was a martial arts expert, but she didn't expect that Xie Jingyu was so good at martial arts and so hardworking. She even hoped that her brother could beat Xie Jingyu and help her beat Xie Jingyu when he bullied her.

As expected, expectations are just expectations and nothing can be achieved.

Xie Jingyu is better at martial arts than her elder brother, and he is also more hardworking than her elder brother. What can her elder brother use to compare with Xie Jingyu?

Shen Wan walked over, and Chen Ping and Chen An saluted her.

Shen Wan asked quietly, “Is your master always so diligent?”

“…Today is the first time.”

Shen Wan, “…”

Not only is he not hardworking, but he is also good at martial arts, which is even more infuriating.

Shen Wan felt strange, "Why is your master so abnormal tonight?"

Chen Ping knew the reason, but he didn't dare to answer, "The Crown Prince's Consort should ask the Crown Prince herself."

Chen Ping and Chen An quickly dodged.

It's just a question, is it necessary to ask them away?

Not wanting to disturb Xie Jingyu's sword practice, Shen Wan prepared to leave, but before he turned around, Xie Jingyu said, "Stand there and don't move."

Shen Wan didn't dare to move. Normally, she didn't dare to take Xie Jingyu's words lightly, not to mention that he was holding a sword in his hand. If she didn't obey him, he would get angry and stab her with a sword...

Shen Wan stood there watching. After Xie Jingyu finished practicing with the sword, he threw his hand and put the sword back into the scabbard steadily.

Xie Jingyu walked towards Chen Wan, his forehead covered in sweat. Chen Wan subconsciously took a step back, and Shan Hu ran away.

Seeing Shen Wan retreat several steps, Xie Jingyu said, “Wipe my sweat.”

Chen Wan hurriedly handed him the embroidered handkerchief.

Xie Jingyu just looked into her eyes. Shen Wan felt uneasy at the sight of him and could only raise her arm to wipe the sweat off his face.

His forehead and neck were covered in sweat. It was okay to wipe his forehead, but when he wiped his neck, it just touched him. Xie Jingyu's breathing became tight, so he took the handkerchief and wiped it himself.

Shen Wan asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Xie Jingyu asked, "Why do you ask?"

Shen Wan said, "Chen Ping said that this was your first time practicing sword at night, and you suddenly became so abnormal..."

Xie Jingyu asked, "You don't know the reason?"

If she knew, she wouldn't be curious anymore.

Seeing Shen Wan looking at him, Xie Jingyu felt his teeth itching. She was indeed a heartless woman. He looked at her with resentment, "I can't always get up and take several cold showers in one night."

boom!

Shen Wan’s face flushed.

Unable to withstand it, she turned and ran away.

She originally went to the study to find a book to pass the time, but she didn't take any books and ran back to the room.

After returning to the room, she took a long time to relax, and the temperature on her face subsided. Then she worried about what to do next. Xie Jingyu was not a man who could remain calm. A single man and a single woman were in the same room with her, and he liked to hold her in his arms while she slept. If he held her in his arms every day and fell asleep like this, she would almost lose control of herself. It was really dangerous.

But her head was about to explode, and she couldn't think of a good solution. There was even a moment when an inappropriate thought came to her mind, but she desperately suppressed it.

Shen Wan felt that he was really crazy.

She actually thought that since Xie Jingyu hadn't met the girl he liked yet, she might as well become his Crown Prince's Consort. The marriage was granted by imperial decree, and divorce was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Besides, her parents would not allow it. More importantly, after the divorce, she would not marry again, and she didn't need to remain a virgin for anyone.

Being held like that by Xie Jingyu, she also felt a trace of desire. Although she had given birth to two children in her previous life, because they were only conceived after taking Yuanyang Powder, she had no memory of what happened that day. She still didn't know what it felt like to consummate the marriage.

But when this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it.

The Jingbei Palace seems harmonious on the surface, but it is actually a dangerous place. It is better to leave if possible. More importantly, she doesn't even know who the girl Xie Jingyu likes is, so how can she be sure to hold on to him and prevent him from falling in love with someone else.

What if she got caught up in it and Xie Jingyu ended up killing her to make room for his beloved as the Crown Prince's Consort? She wouldn't even know how she died.

Feeling sorry for a man will not end well.

Practicing martial arts diligently is good for him, and he should be grateful to her.

Chen Wan soaked in the bathtub. After she figured it out, she got up and prepared to go to bed, but found that there was only a quilt and a pillow on the bed.

Shen Wan asked, "Why is there only one pillow?"

Shanhu asked, "Don't we only need one?"

There was a quilt thrown away and a pillow thrown away, which showed that they were not needed.

Shen Wan's ears turned red, "Bring another pillow."

Shen Wan took his pillow to the other side and lay down to sleep.

When Xie Jingyu came back from the shower, Shen Wan had already fallen asleep, with his pillow on the other side.

Xie Jingyu picked up Shen Wan without saying a word. Shen Wan was not asleep at all and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"I'm not used to sleeping here," Xie Jingyu said.

Shen Wan said quickly, “I like to sleep here!”

Xie Jingyu put Chen Wan down, lay down next to her and hugged her tightly.

Shen Wan, “…”

Why is this person lying down?

Shen Wan said, "Aren't you used to sleeping here? Go back to sleep."

Xie Jingyu said, "You like to sleep on this side, so I can only sleep with you on this side."

Shen Wan didn't believe that he didn't know that she was deliberately avoiding him.

Xie Jingyu didn't doubt it so much. After all, the bed was so small, where could he hide?

"Go to sleep."

Xie Jingyu practiced sword for half an hour just to get a good sleep tonight.

Shen Wan wanted to sleep, but she couldn't get used to sleeping here either. She couldn't help but want to turn over, but once she turned over, she went from being held by Xie Jingyu to being the one holding Xie Jingyu.

"...How about we just go back to sleep?"

Xie Jingyu said, "You don't have to accommodate me."

“…I like sleeping over there too.”

Shen Wan's voice was too weak to be heard.

Xie Jingyu laughed angrily, "So you're sleeping here to avoid me? Just sleep here!"

Chen Wan didn't know what she was doing, but in the end she still had to listen to him. It was a pity that she wanted to have a good relationship with him, but in the end, she only annoyed him.

She felt uncomfortable sleeping in this position. Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Wan turned over and faced Xie Jingyu.

A certain gentleman was easy to coax, and Shen Wan turned over and coaxed him into good behavior without saying anything, "That's good."

Shen Wan's ears were red. When she turned over, she accidentally touched him somewhere, and he reacted.

Shen Wan wanted to turn back, but was hugged tightly by Xie Jingyu. Shen Wan whispered, "Wait a few days, I will give you a concubine..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Jingyu's face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Shen Wan once again saw the urge to kill on his face.

Xie Jingyu really wanted to strangle Shen Wan to death, he tried his best to endure it, and even laughed, “Why don’t you take a concubine for me tonight?”

Shen Wan didn't dare to answer.

"explain!"

It's over.

It made him angry again.

Shen Wan said with a stiff face, "Tonight is fine too. Which one do you want? I'll open her face right away..."

Before she could finish her words, Xie Jingyu turned over and pressed her under him, blocking her from speaking.

Xie Jingyu was really going crazy.

He knew that Shen Wan had not accepted him yet, and he was unwilling to force her. He was willing to give her time to slowly develop feelings for him and wait for the day when everything would come to fruition. However, she was ready to take a concubine for him. She had not thought about really marrying him at all, and even the imperial decree could not shake her determination.

Since there will be no day when love grows over time and everything comes to fruition, what is he waiting for?

He wants her now!

Although Chen Wan had been kissed by him many times, this time the kiss was particularly domineering, and seemed to be mixed with hatred, just like the time when he molested her in the Imperial Garden while drunk in his previous life. Chen Wan was so scared that she trembled all over.

She was able to escape in her previous life not because her slap really woke him up, but because someone happened to be passing by at that time. This was his room, and no one would come to help her.

Shen Wan's face turned pale, "You, you said you wouldn't force me..."

Xie Jingyu said angrily, "Aren't you going to take a concubine for me? If you don't want to be my prince's consort, then be my concubine!"

He bit Shen Wan's neck, and Shen Wan grabbed his clothes tightly, trembling with fear.

Xie Jingyu was reluctant to scare Shen Wan, he looked into her eyes and asked, "Tell me, why are you so afraid of me?"

This was the umpteenth time he felt her fear of him.

The feeling was especially obvious when he approached her and wanted to be close to her.

Is he really that scary?

Xie Jingyu's eyes were hurt. Shen Wan couldn't explain. After all, that was something from her previous life. Shen Wan couldn't say it either. Tears welled up in her eyes. Xie Jingyu raised his hand to wipe them away for her. "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but don't do things that irritate me like this in the future."

Shen Wan asked, "Can we fake a marriage like others do..."

Xie Jingyu asked, "Besides you and me, who else in Kyoto would fake a marriage?"

Shen Wan said, “Of course there is!”

"How is other people's fake marriage like?" Xie Jingyu asked.

"Live separately, see each other once every ten days or half a month..."

Xie Jingyu laughed when he heard this, "Are you trying to kick me out of the Jingbei Palace?"
