Chapter 41.41 There's something wrong with that wine.

"Young Master Pei, please... don't do this to me."

Even at this moment, Jiang Ninghui, who was heartbroken, still held onto a tiny sliver of hope.

I hope Young Master Pei will let her go.

Leave her a way out.

The woman gripped his sleeve tightly with her fingertips, her small face buried in the crook of his shoulder as she wept silently.

The young man's fingers gripped Jiang Ninghui's slender waist tightly, pressing the trembling woman against him as if they were sewn together perfectly.

As the aphrodisiac took effect, he felt unbearably hot and restless.

It seemed as if countless clamorous, boiling things were trying to burst forth from the bones.

I'm looking for an outlet.

He wanted to blast that overwhelming evil thought into the entrance of the mountain cave.

They forced them all out.

A tugging sensation came from her sleeve as her sister-in-law continued to sob and plead, "Young Master Pei, please... please..."

Pitiful.

How pitiful.

However, his sister-in-law begged him.

So be it.

It's best to proceed slowly and methodically.

If we drive my sister-in-law to the point of taking her own life, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Before Zhao Zhixue stepped into the courtyard, Pei Duo picked up Jiang Ninghui with one arm and closed the wide-open window with a flick of his sleeve.

Then, Jiang Ninghui was placed back on the table.

The young man's slender waist was still around her knees, his two strong arms embraced her, and his handsome face was buried in the crook of her neck.

Heavy breathing.

The scalding hot air made Jiang Ninghui's neck tremble.

Jiang Ninghui remained in a daze for a long time.

She seemed to have just escaped death.

The insults directed at her seemed to be blown away by a cold wind, leaving only the sound of Young Master Pei's panting in her ears.

And then there's... Young Master Pei, whose unstoppable momentum is impossible to ignore!

Jiang Ninghui was already a married woman and had experienced lovemaking, so she naturally knew what it was.

Her hands and feet froze, her scalp tingled, and she felt as if she had been rolled in fire. Her cheeks were as red as clouds, and the tips of her ears were so red and hot that they seemed to bleed.

I felt only shame and embarrassment.

I felt even more terrified and frightened.

She feared that Young Master Pei might lose his temper again, just like before.

She feared that Young Master Pei might force himself on her right under her husband's nose, through a door or window.

Just then, the young master's voice came from outside: "Brother Pei, do you know where your sister-in-law has gone?"

Jiang Ninghui covered her lips in fright, her heart leaping into her throat, terrified that her husband would push the door open and come in.

She prayed.

don't want.

Do not come in.

As long as the young master doesn't come in, he won't know that the woman he's looking for is in his brother's arms.

Jiang Ninghui felt as if she were standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss.

One wrong step and you will fall into the abyss.

Pei Duo's eyes were closed, and terrifying blue veins bulged from his forehead to his neck. The backs of his hands, which were holding Jiang Ninghui, were covered with crisscrossing blue veins. Waves of heat surged through the young man's chest as if a thick flame was gathering, scorching his limbs and bones.

A metallic, bloody taste filled his throat, and his dark pupils were covered with terrifying bloodshot veins.

Pei Duo had never tried aphrodisiac wine.

It had a more potent aftereffect than he had anticipated.

When Zhao Zhixue didn't get a response from Pei Duo, he raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Brother Pei, are you inside?"

Jiang Ninghui gripped Pei Gongzi's sleeve tightly with one hand, pleading for his response to her beloved.

But she didn't know.

What did her pulling motion mean to a young man who was trying his best to suppress his desires?

Pei Duo gripped her wrist, his handsome face flushed an unnatural red.

Those dark, deep eyes were almost entirely covered in bloodshot veins, and the way he looked at Jiang Ninghui was like that of a wild beast eyeing a rabbit in the deep mountains.

Keep a close eye on her.

He strangled her.

No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.

Jiang Ninghui had never seen this side of Young Master Pei before.

Even in his dreams, he wasn't like that.

Jiang Ninghui was immediately startled, her almond-shaped eyes widening in shock and fear.

Pei Duo's eyes captured the fear in Jiang Ninghui's eyes, and his hoarse, deep voice almost burst out from between his teeth.

"My sister-in-law has gone out and will be back later."

Zhao Zhixue: "I understand."

He took a couple of steps, then realized something was wrong: "Brother Pei, why does your voice sound off?"

The young man had lost his patience: "I caught a cold!"

Zhao Zhixue: "Then Brother Pei, remember to go to the clinic and have the doctor take your pulse."

After he finished speaking, the footsteps outside the door passed by the window and returned to the next room.

Jiang Ninghui dared not relax.

She bit her lip, her almond-shaped eyes filled with wet tears, looking at Young Master Pei who was so close to her with great fear.

"sister in law."

The young man's voice was very low, but his breathing was extremely heavy.

He approached Jiang Ninghui inch by inch, and as Jiang Ninghui tilted her head back to avoid him, he raised his hand and pinched her cheeks.

Jiang Ninghui was so frightened that she fell silent, her body trembling like a leaf.

Pei Duo stared intently at the woman's slightly parted lips.

The woman's pearly teeth touched her lips, revealing her alluring, rosy little tongue.

I want to be closer to her.

He wanted to possess her.

I want to completely and utterly take another version of him—

To fit with her.

The woman's tears fell in a downpour, dripping onto his knuckles, the heat bringing him back to his senses for a moment.

The young man's tall, mountain-like body leaned towards Jiang Ninghui, pulling her tightly into his arms and trapping her on the table.

He buried his face in Jiang Ninghui's neck, inhaling the scent of the woman.

"Sister-in-law, there's something wrong with this wine."

"This wine seems to be an aphrodisiac."

Wh...what?!

Jiang Ninghui's almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly.

All the fear and dread that Young Master Pei had just instilled in her was replaced by shock.

She was so surprised that she was stunned for a moment.

If there's something wrong with that wine...

She remembered that it was because Young Master Pei had drunk that wine that he suddenly became like this.

In the six months that he had spent with Young Master Pei, he had never done anything so despicable to her as he was now.

If it were that wine...

Jiang Ninghui suddenly understood the meaning behind the look that Sister Mu gave her when she handed her the wine.

This is an aphrodisiac wine, for the gentleman to drink.

After drinking it, you feel refreshed, relaxed, and have a wonderful aftertaste.

It turned out that it meant something completely different from what she had understood.

Jiang Ninghui felt as guilty as she had been just moments before.

It turns out that the culprit who caused Young Master Pei's predicament was actually her!

If she had understood what Sister Mu meant from the beginning, she would never have served wine to Young Master Pei.

Jiang Ninghui didn't know what to do.

They had no idea how to help Young Master Pei.

She lost her composure, panicked and confused, overwhelmed by waves of guilt and self-blame.

She was terrified that her husband would hear her voice through the wall.

So she lowered her voice and apologized with a sob in her voice: "Young Master Pei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know it was an aphrodisiac... I'm sorry, I've hurt you, I'm sorry."

The young man buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Feel the slight tremor in her shoulder sockets as she cries.

My sister-in-law is so easy to fool.

She believed whatever he said.

And honest.

So well-behaved.

His sister-in-law felt guilty towards him, and her guilt was extremely deep.

in this way.

Just what he wanted.

Pei Duo forcibly suppressed the drug's effects, which were almost extinguishing his reason.

His hand rested on the woman's trembling, soft hand, his knuckles gripping it tightly, guiding her hand—

Gradually moving downwards.

The young man's handsome, thin lips moved from the side of her neck to her ear, breathing hot air into her ear.

His voice showed an unprecedented level of vulnerability.

"sister in law."

"I feel so bad."

"Sister-in-law, could you please help me?"
