Synopsis: It's finished, but not recommended to read.
Slow-burn emotional flow, but with a competitive, "male rivalry" style pursuit of the wife and a crematorium storyline. :D
Chapter 61 Chapter 61 What do you want to do with me after this...
Wu Jingxun couldn't stand his obviously aggressive gaze, so she lowered her eyes and walked towards him step by step.
Although it was slow, she was indeed walking towards him, and she was willing to choose him.
Pei Huaiguang looked relaxed and didn't rush her. His amber eyes stared at her closely, enjoying the process of her walking towards him with a clear purpose.
When she was only two steps away from him, Pei Huaiguang reached out and put his arm around Wu Jingxun's suddenly tense waist.
The fragrance was the same as before, but she had become thinner. Even through the thick cloak, one could still feel her slenderness and fragility.
"…Are you hungry?"
Pei Huaiguang held her tightly in his arms, his breath overwhelming her. This feeling had been missing for a long time, making her feel unfamiliar and even a little uncomfortable.
His voice rang out above his head, and Wu Jingxun was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was asking.
She shook her head: "Not hungry."
He spoke in a soft voice, as if he had not eaten a full meal for many days.
Pei Huaiguang clicked his tongue but said nothing.
When he was so hungry that he had to dig up grass to eat on the grassland, he spoke much louder than her.
It was his fault that a delicate flower had withered like this due to lack of nectar to nourish it.
Pei Huaiguang tightened his grip around her waist, causing some pain. Wu Jingxun frowned slightly but said nothing.
She often worried about Pei Huaiguang and didn't know what to do.
This man was terribly paranoid. She didn't want to give him many of the things he wanted, but now she had to give them to him.
Fortunately, Cuiping was rescued, and Pei Huaiguang should take her back to Jinling later. The shop next to the old locust tree can be left to Cuiping. She can do some business, save some money, and continue to live a simple life in this small town. It would be good.
Seeing his sixth concubine, who he hadn't even gotten yet, and the young man in black who had come to cause trouble, hugging and kissing each other, Sun Hucheng was furious. He felt like he was being cheated on, and he kicked Li San in the ass, shouting, "What are you still standing there for? Separate them quickly! Tie this stinky boy to the beam and make him watch me and my beauty enter the bridal chamber!"
Li San and a group of minions responded and rushed towards Pei Huaiguang with knives raised in their hands.
She continued jokingly, "Sixth Aunt, please move away. Don't let your lover's blood splash on your beautiful face. It will ruin your beauty."
The flash of swords and sabers were about to fall. Pei Huaiguang lowered his eyes and looked at her pale face. The violence in his heart was constantly soothed by the softness and warmth of the jade in his arms, but continued to surge because of their words.
"Don't be afraid. Wait here for me."
Pei Huaiguang pulled her to the corridor of the courtyard. He raised his cold, slender fingers and tied the cloak for her again. The soft hood covered most of her face. His hand accidentally brushed against her chin, which was getting thinner and more pointed. Feeling her trembling as she subconsciously shrank back, Pei Huaiguang paused, suppressed the urge to kiss her, turned his wrist, and the blade of his backhand stabbed out, revealing a face with a wild smile that had not yet subsided.
There was a 'hiss' sound, which was the sound of blood gushing out through a crack.
She was still afraid of him, and the resistance in her bones could not be deceived.
But so what.
This time she walked towards him by herself, step by step, and he would help her remember it clearly.
Pei Huaiguang's eyebrows were unfocused, and the knife in his hand was swung faster and more fiercely each time.
Seeing Li San and his group of minions falling one after another, the young man in black with a knife glanced at him lightly, full of murderous intent. Sun Hucheng leaned against the door tremblingly and begged for mercy: "Master, please spare my life, master, please spare my life! I didn't recognize Mount Tai. Master, please don't bother with me. The wedding hall and bridal chamber are already decorated. You and your beauty, no, your lover, why don't you enter the bridal chamber here before leaving? I will also give you a hundred taels of gold as a gift to you two, how about it?"
Looking at the pile of fat that was smiling flatteringly, Pei Huaiguang's beautiful eyebrows were reflected by the blood-soaked blade and looked particularly cold.
With a flick of his hand and a slash of the knife, a pig's head appeared on the ground.
"Sun Hucheng has a great background, and if you kill him..." Can Cuiping still make a living in Tongcheng?
She hurriedly pulled off her hood, and a faint blush appeared on her originally pale face because of worry. Her charming eyes looked straight at him.
His shadow was reflected everywhere.
Pei Huaiguang was pleased with this realization.
"He offended you first, so he deserves to be killed." Pei Huaiguang said succinctly, "Since I have done it, I have a way to resolve the situation."
Yeah?
Although Wu Jingxun knew that Pei Huaiguang was a newly appointed minister to the emperor, what she remembered most was his wild and unruly appearance when he just returned to Jinling.
Looking at the people groaning and crying in the yard, Pei Huaiguang had a cold expression. He put the knife in his hand into the water tank to wash it casually, sheathed it, and walked towards her.
The young man who had just fought a bloody battle had a cold look on his face and was silent, which made people tremble in their hearts.
Wu Jingxun stood there, silently watching him approach her step by step. Her hands hidden under her cloak were clenched tightly. She told herself that she could not hide.
Pei Huaiguang walked up to her and felt strange. He had just killed someone, but there was no disgusting smell on his body. It was still clear and dry.
"I like you looking at me like this." Without bias, without covering anything, just looking at him alone.
There was obvious joy in his tone. Wu Jingxun didn't know how to respond and could only remain silent.
He didn't care. He put his arm around her waist, and with a tiptoe, they both jumped lightly onto the roof.
Wu Jingxun's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his thin waist.
The man's thin but powerful muscles exuded a heat that could not be ignored. Wu Jingxun frowned and wanted to let go of her hand, but the next moment Pei Huaiguang hugged her tightly and jumped down. The feeling of weightlessness was not pleasant. She didn't care about anything else, bit her lip, and tightened her arms around his waist.
Is he the only one who can hug her so tightly? She will also hug him until it hurts.
Pei Huaiguang had no idea of her angry thoughts, he was just happy that she took the initiative to get close to him.
With a few leaps, they left the Sun Mansion.
Wu Jingxun didn't know where Pei Huaiguang was going to take her. She guessed that it should be back to Jinling, to a private house he had bought.
Her current status was extremely embarrassing. She could only live in a house outside, like those little women, looking forward to his arrival, and then wait until her beauty grew old. No, perhaps she would never even wait until that time, because he would gradually stop coming.
At that time, she packed her luggage and went to find Cuiping.
Wu Jingxun calmed herself down, and the noise around her suddenly became louder. She looked up and found that they were standing in front of a restaurant.
Restaurant?
She was a little confused, and then she heard Pei Huaiguang say, "Aren't you hungry? Come eat something with me."
As he said that, he pulled her inside.
Fortunately, there were many people here, so he at least gave her some face and didn't hold her waist and continue walking in.
But Wu Jingxun still silently put on the hood, covering most of his face.
Pei Huaiguang noticed her little movement, and without stopping, he asked the waiter to lead the way to the private room on the second floor.
He quickly ordered the dishes, and the waiter happily left. Pei Huaiguang picked up the teapot and washed the cups for her before pouring her another cup of tea: "There's no one else here, have some tea."
Wu Jingxun slowly pulled off his hood, held the teacup with his slender fingers, and hummed softly.
Later on, she was always silent most of the time when facing him, except after he was injured, when she was trying to put on a show to coax him into letting down his guard, she would smile at him.
Pei Huaiguang leaned on the chair, his posture was casual, but his mind was a little dazed.
The person before him sat perfectly still before him, frowning and blinking. He was alive.
…but I won’t smile at him.
He was lost in thought, but the aggression in his gaze was like magma, flowing through her skin inch by inch.
Like, he was going to strip her naked.
Wu Jingxun couldn't stand this torture that was like lingchi, so she raised her head and looked at Pei Huaiguang.
"What do you want to do with me later?"
