Chapter 7 Shen Yuning, you...a lecher!

Pei Yanzhou avoided her gaze, "I, I, Ben has always only liked Yan'er!"

"I'm talking about me!" Shen Yuning's eyes were as sharp as torches.

"Why should I answer you?"

Pei Yanzhou suddenly became angry and looked extremely impatient.

The tall man exuded an extremely majestic aura, which made Shen Yuning feel cold all over.

She instinctively stepped back, feeling extremely sad.

But she suddenly lost her balance, screamed, and almost fell into the lake.

"ah--"

"careful!"

Pei Yanzhou's pupils shrank and he quickly reached out to grab the person.

"You're so grown up, and you still can't stand steadily?"

His voice was fierce and his tone was bad, but his movements were instinctive and he pulled the person completely into his arms.

"call--"

Full of fragrance and soft body.

Before the other party reacted, Pei Yanzhou already felt his breathing become heavier, as if he had died once.

This was the first time he and Shen Yuning were almost close to each other.

Her waist was very thin, but her fullness was too curvaceous. He knew she had a good figure, but he didn't know it could be this good...

So this is what it feels like to hold her in my arms...

The tips of his ears turned red, his body trembled slightly, and he felt numb all over.

Pei Yanzhou couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Chen...Chen Yuning, how can you behave like this? We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're so clingy...clingy to me?"

"You grabbed me with your hands!"

Shen Yuning's tone was normal, and her face was still calm.

Pei Yanzhou's handsome face flushed, his hand loosened, and he hurriedly let her go.

Not only that, he had a strong sense of morals and in order to show that he was a gentleman, he deliberately pushed the person out hard!

"ah--"

"Pei Yanzhou, you——"

Shen Yuning had already been drinking and was feeling tipsy. At this moment, her steps were unsteady and her whole body was weak.

Now, after being pushed by Pei Yanzhou, her body began to fall backwards again.

Seeing that Shen Yuning was about to fall into the lake again, Pei Yanzhou was anxious and annoyed, and almost instinctively hugged her again.

"Boom——" His mind went completely blank.

This time it seems to be tighter than last time.

The young man, who had never had sex, had a rolling Adam's apple and disordered breathing.

His mouth was dry and he couldn't help but stare at the woman in front of him.

Why is Shen Yuning so beautiful? And so delicate?

It's a pity why she is so bad and cruel?

"You...is this all you can drink?"

Pei Yanzhou took a long time to utter this sentence, then he exerted force with his hands and hugged her even tighter.

"Why don't you let me go?"

Shen Yu's eyes were deep, serious at first, but when she saw that he was unwilling to let go, she became playful.

"Pei Yanzhou, if you hug me again, I will lock you up in my boudoir."

"This is the Shen Mansion, my home!"

The threatening tone, the inquiring expression... Pei Yanzhou's heart began to panic, and he became even more at a loss.

"Chen Yuning, you...you lecher."

His face flushed as he cursed softly, his voice hoarse, but he was reluctant to let go of his hand.

"Master Pei, are you really not going to let go?"

Shen Yuning's voice became louder, and the playfulness in her peach blossom eyes became even more intense.

“Chen…Chen Yuning, you, how do you look like a woman?”

Pei Yanzhou cursed and quickly let her go.

Compared with other people's calmness, he felt like a shy young wife.

"Do you still like me?"

She looked at him and suddenly asked.

"What?"

Pei Yanzhou obviously didn't react, and his handsome face turned red again in an instant.

"Pei Yanzhou, do you like me?"

She asked again in a soft voice.

"Hehe, how, how is it possible?"

Pei Yanzhou touched his nose, "Chen Yuning, what are you thinking about?"

He raised his voice and denied it vehemently. But what he didn't know was that -

When he was talking, his cheeks were red, his eyes were wandering, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. It was obvious that he was saying one thing and thinking another.

Shen Yuning was in a trance for a moment, as if Pei Yanzhou had not changed his heart, as if he was still the silver-armored boy she once knew.

She remembered the kindness the Pei family had shown to the Shen family, and how he had once rescued her from a fire...

All the memories came to her mind, and under the effect of the osmanthus wine, Shen Yuning's beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly turned red.

Her eyes darkened, and she suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Pei Yanzhou, come with me!"

—

Shen Yuning took Pei Yanzhou across the small bridge, passed the rockery, and came to a statue of the Medicine King.

Gently turning the mechanism on the side revealed a large stone chamber.

Push open the stone door, light the candle, and you will see a different world inside - boxes of golden gold are shining inside, which is particularly dazzling in the dark night.

"Pei Yanzhou, look!"

The light in Shen Yu's eyes was even more dazzling than the gold:

"Before my father died, he told me to donate the two hundred thousand taels of gold in the stone chamber to the Xuanjia Camp free of charge to repay Uncle Pei for saving his and my mother's lives."

"This gold was the reward given to Dad by the imperial court when the Shen family developed a new medicine."

"We haven't spent a cent, and we've saved quite a bit over the years... Daddy said these are my dowry, and I can take them to the Pei family."

She suddenly grabbed his hand and said seriously, "Pei Yanzhou, I know you're not the kind of guy who plays with women and then abandons them. Did you choose the Chu family because of the food problem in Xuanjia Camp?"

She looked at him gently, "Yanzhou, I still have some silver, which is my own savings for making medicine. There is a lot of it."

"I can give you everything I have, just don't choose Chu Ruyan, okay?"

When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Not to mention that Daddy had specifically instructed us to leave the gold to the Xuanjia Camp.

Back then, when Dad went up the mountain to look for medicine, he encountered horse bandits. Fortunately, Pei Yanzhou's father came to the rescue... The Shen family has always remembered this kindness.

The sincerity and trust in Shen Yuning's eyes made Pei Yanzhou's heart tremble.

He was shocked at first, shocked that the Shen family, who were usually frugal, had such strong financial resources.

Besides being shocked, he was also ashamed - he had just heard that the Shen family would not return the betrothal gift, and he thought she was a vain person. He really judged others by his own mean standards.

Finally, I was deeply moved!

No matter how bad Shen Yuning's character is or how many wrong things she has done, her feelings for him are real.

Over the years, she seemed to be extremely good to him, and he could see the admiration and passion she showed him.

What a pity...

Pei Yanzhou really wanted to call her stupid and dumb, and also wanted to sing praises of his relationship with Chu Ruyan.

He even wanted to tell her that he was willing to accept the emperor's marriage proposal just to avenge his sister...

However, he couldn't utter a word at this moment.

People are most sincere when they are drunk. Shen Yuning's eyes, which showed her wholehearted devotion, burned him to the point of feeling ashamed.

Finally, Pei Yanzhou said, "Does our Pei family look like a family that is short of money?" and then fled.

He could not afford such deep love from a woman, even though she was vicious and a femme fatale.

But, love has no distinction between high and low, right?

——

After leaving the Shen family's gate, Pei Yanzhou rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping because of his inner turmoil.

He wanted to see Chu Ruyan immediately. He wanted to use Yan'er's kindness and innocence to wash away Shen Yuning's "temptation" for himself.

His pace quickened, faster and faster.

—

Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Pei Yanzhou stepped into the flower hall, Chu Ruyan was leaning on the rosewood couch and writing a gift list.

"Brother Yanzhou, although you and Shen Yuning haven't broken off the engagement yet, this is definitely a done deal."

"Since our wedding is just a few days away, my family urged me to write you a list of betrothal gifts."
