Zhao Rong seemed unaware of the noise made by Concubine Zhao Lingfei.

He still didn't turn his head to look at her.

Zhao Rong turned his head to look outside the pavilion and said in a strange tone:

"My lady, this is strange. I don't miss you. Why do I need your permission to miss someone else?"

Concubine Zhao Ling held her hands up and placed them horizontally in front of her belly, with her head held high, her neck looking as swan-like. She was also tall, with a slender waist and straight shoulders. At this moment, she stood in front of the seated Zhao Rong like a jade lotus, looking down at him.

Concubine Zhao Ling lowered her eyelids to hide a little of her cold eyes, but her eyes still shone with a light as bright as stars.

"No, you can't even think about other women."

Her voice was crisp and cold. She paused, stared at Zhao Rong, and spoke with great emphasis:

"Brother Rong'er, you are mine, only mine. You cannot think about other women... Well, Ling Fei is also yours, your wife. Apart from you, Brother Rong'er, there has never been any other man in my heart except for my teacher. We both have each other like this, okay?"

The originally cold female voice had a slight tremor at the end, just as if at this moment, Concubine Zhao Ling's long eyelashes were trembling because she was staring at Zhao Rong without blinking.

Zhao Lingfei's posture at this moment was like a towering iceberg, standing in front of Zhao Rong.

She wants his promise, she wants his promise!

However, Zhao Rong did not take the pressure from her head-on. He looked elsewhere and his eyes flickered for a moment.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips and said nothing. He felt the burning emotion hidden in Qingjun's harsh and selfish words. He felt distressed and wanted to respond to her. However, Qingjun still wanted to take the lead in their private interactions, and she had not yet given in.

Then he cannot give in, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.

Zhao Rong was surprisingly alert at this moment. According to his experience in struggle, the dispute at this moment was not just a dispute between the two of them about "the man is strong and the woman is weak" or "the woman is weak and the man is strong".

But it involves whether he can give Xiao Xiao a sense of belonging.

If he retreats at this moment, even just by one step, Qingjun will take the initiative in the emotions between them, and will be more forceful in the future, encroaching on him step by step, and completely occupying him. Then, the "I want it all" he had said in the past will become empty words in an instant.

As for accepting the other party, given Qingjun's current jealous nature, he would definitely not agree. Even Xiaoxiao, who usually listens to her lover obediently, might have great resistance in her heart.

However, Zhao Rong felt that if he did not even have the courage to turn the predicament around, and just went with the flow, agreeing to whatever Qingjun and Xiaoxiao said, accommodating this and that, then how could he really want it all?

There is endless joy in fighting with others, especially with the stubborn ideas and prejudices in people's hearts.

Zhao Rong wants to change Qingjun Xiaoxiao, turn Qingjun Xiaoxiao around, and convince the people around him to accept his ideas.

Today is the first step.

Zhao Rong's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, seeing that he had not responded to her, Concubine Zhao Ling's eyes flashed, and she suddenly reached out and took the initiative to grab Zhao Rong's left hand.

She interlocked Zhao Rong's hand with her slender hand, and with her other hand she gently covered the back of his hand, sandwiching Zhao Rong's hand in the middle and rubbing it gently with the palm of her hand.

Concubine Zhao Ling raised her eyes to look at him. Her originally cold eyes had melted for Zhao Rong and she gave him a tender glance.

"You can also miss Qian'er. After all, you haven't seen her for quite some time. It's okay to miss her. And Aunt Liu, that's definitely okay, but you can't think about other women anymore."

Zhao Rong only felt that his left hand was sinking into a piece of warm and soft jade, and her warmth continuously flowed from the palm of his hand to his heart.

He exhaled slowly, sat upright, kept his mind focused, then tilted his head, shifted his gaze, and "appreciated" the scenery of the lake, still without saying a word.

Zhao Lingfei tilted her head and blinked her eyes at Rong'erge who suddenly became serious. However, the sweet rewards after the big stick were not just these. As long as he was obedient, he would have everything.

Only to see the next moment.

She held Zhao Rong's hands with both hands, lowered her head, put her lips close to his, and pouted her pink lips slightly.

“Huh~”

Concubine Zhao Ling gently blew a breath of hot air into his palm, then grabbed Zhao Rong's trembling hand and put it close to her face.

Zhao Lingfei pressed her cheek tightly against Rong Erge's palm and felt a little cold on her face, but she was happy in her heart because in this way she could warm him and pass on the warmth to him.

Concubine Zhao Ling pulled at the sleeve of Zhao Rong's hand, glanced at the deep forest not far away, close to the lake, narrowed her eyes, and whispered:

"Okay, Brother Rong'er, just respond, just one word, or a nod will do, it's not difficult, and then...then I will accompany you to walk in the mountains and forests over there, accompany, accompany you to explore the secluded places..."

Concubine Zhao Ling's voice became softer and softer, but her eyes were always fixed on Zhao Rong, her expression gentle and graceful.

Zhao Rong couldn't stand it anymore. Just now, Qingjun was the arrogant fairy who was cold and domineering, but at this moment, she suddenly turned into a gentle lady who was dependent on others and knew how to care for others.

The contrast caused by this instant of melting almost made Zhao Rong's defenses fall.

This tactic of using a big stick and sweet dates is exactly the same as the one used when Xiao Xiao transformed into the cold and beautiful Su Fox Fairy. Did these two girls know his weaknesses clearly?

Zhao Rong pursed his lips and bit the tip of his tongue. He was awakened by the pain and then used his left hand to pull himself out of the land of tenderness.

Concubine Zhao Ling was stunned, staring at Rong Erge's withdrawn right hand, her pretty face gradually becoming stern.

She suddenly trembled and asked, "Brother Rong'er, did...did that Liu Kongyi come to see you?"

Zhao Rong blinked. He really didn't understand why Qingjun suddenly mentioned this woman. He wanted to take a look at her expression, but he finally held back. He turned his face to Qingjun, looked at the lake, and shook his head.

Concubine Zhao Ling just suddenly remembered that when she met Liu Kongyi in Taiqing Mansion a few days ago, Liu Kongyi had asked her in person with a smile what Rong'er was doing. He said that "I feel guilty for taking a poem about falling flowers and being selfless for nothing, so I want to offer a cup of tea to my teacher of one word and express my gratitude."

Concubine Zhao Lingfei didn't like Liu Kongyi's smile, and she didn't like hearing her say the words "Young Master Zhao", so she was unusually rude and ignored Liu Kongyi, just brushed past her and left.

Zhao Lingfei narrowed her eyes. So, she came to see Brother Ronger? !

The five slender fingers of Concubine Zhao Ling's bare hands, which were held in front of her belly, suddenly clenched.

"My lady, you think too much. No."

Seeing her silence, Zhao Rong was quiet for a moment, then spoke slowly.

Concubine Zhao Ling's pretty face was expressionless, but her face had turned pale without her knowing when. "Brother Rong'er, I want to take a look at your heart."

Zhao Rong shook his head decisively.

Are you kidding? Can you just watch this casually?

Concubine Zhao bit her lip and stared at him straight in the eyes, "I was just testing you. Concubine Ling is not the kind of unruly woman who violates the rules of marriage and checks the heart of her husband. This is just a test, but in the end, you refused without even thinking about it."

She had now returned to her previous arrogant and cold look with her hands held high, but her eyes were slightly red.

"I..." Zhao Rong was speechless.

"You must be thinking about Liu Kongyi in your heart, yet you say no." Concubine Zhao Ling sniffed.

"No...then I'll let you see."

"good."

"Didn't you say that you weren't a barbaric woman who violated women's rights?"

"My husband asked me to watch it, and I dare not disobey."

Zhao Rong shook his head, "Then I won't show it to you."

Zhao Lingfei nodded, "Okay, then I won't watch it, but you have to prove that you don't miss her."

"I..." Zhao Rong choked.

"you."

Concubine Zhao Ling's long eyes were fixed on Zhao Rong, staring at him without letting go.

Zhao Rong was choked. He quickly sorted out the logic of his words, but for a moment he still couldn't understand why Qing Jun was always right and so confident.

As expected, you can’t reason with a woman in love, especially when it comes to other women. Even Qingjun, who was originally so reasonable and well-mannered, became unreasonable...

But before Zhao Rong could think of how to respond, Concubine Zhao Ling spoke again.

She suddenly turned around and stopped looking at Zhao Rong.

Concubine Zhao Lingfei stared straight ahead with her eyes fixed on the outside, the autumn water in her eyes reflected the autumn water outside the pavilion. Her pointed chin was raised stubbornly, her tone was cold, yet mixed with some resentment like an abandoned woman.

"Sure enough, there is another woman in Brother Rong'er's heart."

Zhao Rong: “…”

Return: “…”
