Chapter 154 People Must Have Perseverance

Now that the grave relocation has been completed, it is time for Lu Jiangnian to get down to business.

"My lady, I will ride a fast horse to Bazhong today and will be back in the evening."

Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru mentioned about Du Yong. If he didn't have this excuse, he might not have been able to leave Beijing to find her.

"If you are in a hurry, you can come back early tomorrow morning."

Bazhong is not far from Nanjiang County, but the roads there are mostly rugged and difficult to travel, so it may not be possible to get there in one day.

Lu Jiangnian lowered his voice and spoke softly, "I'm not in a hurry. I don't care about this distance at all. It's autumn now, and it's not hard to ride a horse at a fast speed. Besides, the night is long, and I don't want to waste time outside."

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Whatever. I'm going to help Xiaojie today. I don't know if I can cure his disease."

His eyes were deep: "My lady, don't be too embarrassed, just do your best."

"I know my limits."

Yuan Wanru didn't care and replied casually. Lu Jiangnian stood up, took her hand and walked to the window: "Open it and see if you like it."

On the wooden table by the window, there were three brocade boxes. Yuan Wanru asked curiously, "When were these things placed here?"

Not last night.

Lu Jiangnian stood behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, leaned forward slightly and said in her ear: "I asked Xuanqing to deliver it this morning."

She could feel his breath falling on her ears, carrying a warm atmosphere. She smiled slightly, no need to guess, there was probably another little gift from him inside.

When it was opened, the first brocade box contained a golden phoenix hairpin. When it was picked up, one could see that the phoenix was holding a string of pearls of uniform size in its mouth, with rubies underneath. The material was luxurious and the style was exquisite.

In the second box was a pair of plum blossom hairpins made of silver, kingfisher feather and inlaid with sapphires. The plum blossom had five layers inside and outside, and was exquisite and unique, making the large, round sapphire even more eye-catching.

The third brocade box contained a double-ring jade pendant. The rings of the jade pendant were carved with patterns of fish playing in the water, which were cute and lively, with smooth lines.

Lu Jiangnian had been paying attention to her expression and found that her eyes were bright and interested, so he knew that these things caught her eye.

Yuan Wanru turned her head to look at him: "Why did you give me so much at once?"

He usually gave gifts, and the things he gave away were all of the best quality. However, he always gave them one by one, but this time he gave three at once.

Lu Jiangnian smiled as clear as the wind and bright moon: "I gave too much before, and my wife probably wouldn't accept it."

He seemed to think of some bad memories, lowered his eyes and whispered: "At the beginning, my wife was determined to draw a line between us. I gave you silver but you didn't want it. How could I dare to give you more."

"Now, of course, things are different. No matter how much I give her, my wife won't refuse it."

Yuan Wanru was speechless. He was quite vindictive.

When she was going to the East Palace for a banquet, Wang Min asked Lu Jiangnian to give her some money to buy clothes and jewelry, but she refused.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered this incident.

"Just give it to me. I will accept all of it in the future."

The situation has changed a lot. He wants to please her, so why shouldn't she want to? What if she dampens his enthusiasm and he stops giving her gifts in the future? That would be a big loss.

She stood on tiptoe, her red lips close to his, but she didn't kiss him: "Thank you, husband."

Lu Jiangnian smiled, his eyes doting, and his voice encouraging: "Verbal thanks? My wife, you are too careless. Your husband is waiting."

Yuan Wanru smiled and kissed him directly, but Lu Jiangnian was naughty and turned his face away deliberately, and her lips fell on his cheek.

She was stunned for a moment. This was not like his style. She took the initiative, but he avoided her?

Yuan Wanru usually loves to use osmanthus perfume, but she doesn't like strong fragrance. As she moves, the elegant osmanthus fragrance emanates from her body, impacting Lu Jiangnian's sense of smell and making him even more excited.

However, this time, he didn't want to take the initiative. He stared at her with deep eyes: "If I dodge, will you not kiss me anymore?"

“People need perseverance.”

He just wanted to feel what it felt like to be chased and kissed by her.

It must feel better than when he takes the initiative.

Yuan Wanru was a little confused at first, but when she met his suppressed eyes, she understood.

Does this person want to be arrogant for once and play the trick of playing hard to get?

Okay.

She doesn't mind pampering him once. He's her own man, so she should pamper him herself.

The slender white fingers fell on his angular face, from the sharp brow to the tip of his handsome nose, and then fell on his thin lips. Finally, she lifted his chin and said lazily and ambiguously: "Sit down, you are standing so high, how can I kiss you."

Although she ordered him, his heart felt sweet as if he had drunk honey. He sat down on the chair obediently, raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, come quickly."

Yuan Wanru almost burst out laughing at the sight of the little boy waiting to be ravaged by her.

However, that person narrowed her eyes slightly, with an intoxicated expression. If she laughed, she was worried that he would go crazy and kill her on the spot.

"Be good, I'll be right there."

Yuan Wanru lowered her head and slowly moved towards him. When she saw the upward curve at the corner of his lips, she knew how happy he was.

They kissed so many times, and he couldn't hold back and kissed her like a wolf.

This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him.

It feels quite novel.

Lu Jiangnian felt her breath getting closer and closer, and his heart was beating very fast.

Finally, soft lips fell on his, and at that moment, his mind seemed to be full of flowers.

Feeling that she seemed to be about to leave, his hands had their own will and had already grasped her, turning the passive position into the active one, and kissed her deeply.

Yuan Wanru hummed softly a few times, but obediently hugged his narrow waist, sat on his lap, and endured his passionate kiss.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly became gentle, rubbing my ears and licking me, and finally, everything stopped.

He hugged the person and said angrily, "I really don't want to go to Bazhong anymore."

Yuan Wanru laughed and looked at him mockingly: "I don't believe it."

Although he likes her, he is not love-brained. He will not be vague about such an important matter.

As expected, he chuckled and kissed the top of her head: "My lady really understands me."

A man who only knows how to talk about love can never become someone else's support. He wants love and power, and the two are not in conflict.

The two of them sat together quietly. Although they didn't speak, they both felt extremely at peace with each other.

It’s getting late. If we don’t leave now, we may not be able to get back in the afternoon.

Lu Jiangnian took Xuanqing to Bazhong and left Xuanying behind.

Xuan Qing really wanted to stay, but the prince felt that his martial arts skills were not as good as Xuan Ying's, and he was not qualified enough to protect the prince's wife.

He looked at Liu Yan with gloomy eyes as she stood with the Crown Prince's wife. When would this girl finally come to her senses? He had shown his goodwill several times along the way, but it was of no use at all.

The previous times I sent her food, she accepted it. But today I sent her a silver hairpin, and she turned around and ran away as if she had seen a flood or a beast.

It was a waste of food.
