Chapter 29 How to Make Me Happy

Li Shangxuan said, "Why can't I do this? If I want to, what can you do about it?"

Yang Qing was about to cry again, but Li Shangxuan snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be pitiful, that trick won't work on me today."

His gaze lingered for a moment on the plate of pastries on the table, which showed no signs of being touched. She really hadn't eaten anything for a whole day and night.

His gaze grew darker as he looked at her lips and said, "You should know how to make me happy."

Yang Qing was stunned. Of course she knew how to make him happy, but...

She glanced at his face, unsure whether he was deliberately trying to scare her or genuinely doing it. Oh well, she'd take the plunge; she didn't want to be locked up.

She leaned closer, her soft white hands wrapping around his shoulders. He refused to give in to her, so Yang Qing could only try to lift her upper body to kiss his lips, but he still didn't react, like a block of wood. It seemed he was determined to make her please him.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Yang Qing could only bite his Adam's apple. She knew that was his most sensitive spot, and sure enough, he was aroused and let out a muffled groan.

As Yang Qing undressed him, she secretly hid the dry food in her arms under the blanket. Unexpectedly, he seemed to sense something and caught her red-handed.

Li Shangxuan smiled and opened the oil paper package. When he looked at Yang Qing again, his gaze was very complicated. He said, "How could Yang Qing really be on a hunger strike?"

He threw the things on the table. "A hunger strike?"

Yang Qing remained silent.

Li Shangxuan: "Starve yourself to death?"

Yang Qing blushed.

Li Shangxuan sneered and urged, "Continue, don't just stand there like an idiot."

She then slowly moved closer to undress him. Summer clothes weren't complicated, and she easily took them off, leaving only his underpants. Yang Qing was too embarrassed to take them off any further, so she looked up at him for help, but Li Shangxuan still didn't say anything, only staring intently at her.

Yang Qing could only grit her teeth, take off her clothes, and stop when she was left with only her most intimate undergarment. She looked at him timidly, noticing that his pants were bulging with a large bulge.

Her attempts to please him weren't stiff; she'd probably done it before. Li Shangxuan felt all the blood rush to his body.

What I said earlier to make him happy was meant to make her go get something to eat, but I didn't expect her to misunderstand and think it was...

Since she was so proactive, Li Shangxuan thought he'd kiss her a couple of times and tease her a bit, but then he discovered she'd hidden some dry rations. This was truly...

Li Shangxuan was so angry he laughed. Since that's how it is, then let's just go with the flow. Anyway, in this life and the next, she will be his wife.

He watched with a clear conscience as she took off her own clothes, and then hers, revealing her snow-white shoulders and neck, and the edges of her breasts were not covered by her inner garment. Li Shangxuan's mouth was dry, and his voice was hoarse. "Is this how you please people?"

This guy is really... clueless about romance, Yang Qing cursed inwardly, but on the surface she had to flatter him, guiding his hand to her chest. He gave it a squeeze, and Yang Qing immediately blushed. Hearing his laughter, she said, "Now you know how to be shy?"

Li Shangxuan remembered her foot injury and, to avoid hurting her, pulled her into his arms, teasingly urging, "Continue, do it yourself."

Yang Qing was furious, but luckily he hadn't gone too far and had still done some foreplay.

When he actually entered the experience, although Li Shangxuan had seen it in those fragmented fragments, he only understood what it felt like after experiencing it firsthand.

He felt a chill run down his spine. In order not to embarrass himself, he desperately wanted to say something else to her to distract her. "I remember, Ah Xun, I remember everything."

Yang Qing was uncomfortable from his thrusting. She was only eighteen years old this winter, and this beast really had the heart to do that.

This time, the tears in her eyes weren't forced out, and her voice was off-key, "What did you remember?"

Li Shangxuan said, "The child from my past life wasn't mine... Ah, don't squeeze! What will you do if you don't have a child?"

Yang Qing's mind was a complete mess. She shook her head, trying to clear her head. "I don't believe it..."

Li Shangxuan asked, "What don't you believe?"

Yang Qing did not answer. If he did not leave behind a child, then it would be really difficult for her to be the Empress Dowager. She would definitely have to choose someone from the imperial clan to adopt, but... that would bring countless troubles, which were undoubtedly things she was not good at handling.

She thought about it carefully. Although the child claimed to be only three months old, she wasn't stupid. The child was clearly six or seven months old. If the child wasn't born with extraordinary abilities, then the child was lying. Li Shangxuan had only been on a military campaign for a year. Considering the ten months of pregnancy, the child shouldn't have been born that big. Unfortunately, Yang Qing was only stuck in the shock and grief and didn't properly investigate whether the woman was from Yunzhou. Maybe she had already hooked up with Li Shangxuan in the capital.

"Then why are you only telling me now?"

Li Shangxuan paused briefly and said in a low voice, "I... I just remembered today, and I was going to tell you... Who knew you'd be pretending to go on a hunger strike again... Humph..."

Li Shangxuan is still too inexperienced; he can't withstand this.

Yang Qing was somewhat smug, feeling as if she had the upper hand. As for what he said, she still had reservations. She didn't completely believe it, but she didn't completely disbelieve it either. It's not good to draw conclusions easily about such ambiguous things.

But she had to admit that when she heard Li Shangxuan say that the child wasn't his, she was still secretly delighted. This made her pride fade considerably, and she deeply despised her own lack of resolve.

Good heavens, how could she be the kind of person who finds sweet talk from men so incredibly endearing?

Unfortunately, she was in a good mood.

Li Shangxuan recovered and kissed the top of her head lightly, preparing to regroup and try again. He didn't continue to ask about the previous topic and switched their positions.

Yang Qing immediately said, "No, I..."

Li Shangxuan encircled her injured ankle, saying, "It won't touch."

This position definitely won't cause any contact.

After the second time, Li Shangxuan felt it was good. Seeing Yang Qing's flushed face and her almond-shaped eyes filled with spring affection, he thought she must be very satisfied.

Li Shangxuan bent down and kissed her lips, then checked the wound on the sole of her foot. It had already scabbed over, and he hadn't touched it. He told her this, and as he put her down, he also kissed her ankle.

As always, he was in an exceptionally good mood after doing this, and he patiently helped Yangqing get dressed again.

He wasn't quite familiar with women's clothing styles, but fortunately it was summer wear, and convenient attire, not the elaborate dresses of noblewomen, so he figured it out and put it on easily.

There weren't many marks on her body, but he had been paying attention. She had said last time that she couldn't leave any red marks, otherwise she wouldn't be able to face people. While getting dressed, he couldn't resist wanting to kiss her again, but she ruthlessly dodged him, saying, "Go away, you just kissed my feet, don't come any closer."

Li Shangxuan felt helpless: "It's all on your own body, and I didn't even complain, so why are you complaining? Besides, you haven't even gotten out of bed for the past two days, how dirty could it be?"

Yang Qing stubbornly replied, "I don't care."

Li Shangxuan could only continue dressing her. After she was dressed, clumsily, he saw the dry food on the table next to her. The originally square piece of food had been chewed into a mess, as if it had been gnawed by mice. He couldn't help but laugh. "I have no idea what you're thinking. I told you to eat something first, and you're so proactive."

Yang Qing was stunned: "What? Didn't you force me to do this?"

Li Shangxuan was slowly searching for her clothes. This was how she always did when she took off her clothes—they were scattered everywhere. Hearing this, she laughed and said, "When I said I'd make you happy, I meant you should eat something first, so you don't really starve."

Yang Qing then realized what was happening, her face turning almost purple.

She was furious; the tenderness and affection that had been there on the bed just moments before had vanished completely.

She knew this man was up to no good and was always bullying her! She gritted her teeth and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Shangxuan noticed her anger, but showed no sign of restraint, and continued to tease her with great interest, "Why should I tell you? I'm more than happy to have such a wonderful thing."

Yang Qing was furious, and grabbed something to throw at him, yelling, "Get out!"

Li Shangxuan said kindly, "Wait until I've finished getting dressed."

Yang Qing couldn't wait any longer and wanted to get down and chase him away.

Considering her foot injury, Li Shangxuan could only say, "Don't move around, I'll leave."

He took his clothes and opened the door. The inn was small, and his room was just a few steps away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Huo Lu and Xin Wanyou, who were walking towards him from around the corner.

The atmosphere remained frozen; it was as if he had come from nowhere and done everything before he came out.

Huo Lu's eyes were full of laughter, but he was still good at reading people's expressions. Knowing that Li Shangxuan cared about his image, he quickly looked straight ahead and said seriously, "I didn't see anything."

Li Shangxuan breathed a sigh of relief at his tactful words. It was truly inappropriate for him to emerge from the room of an unmarried young woman, shirtless. He had already been on his way to flee, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but turn back and remind her, "You absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

This matter was alright for him; if it got out, it would just be seen as a romantic affair, and everyone would just laugh it off.

But for Yang Qing, it wasn't that simple.

Huo Lu hurriedly replied, "I know."

He calmed down once he was inside, but the scene was still lingering in his mind. He shouldn't have said anything and had to tease her. Now she was angry, and he didn't know how long it would take to coax her.

He's always like this, regretting it afterward, but at the time he was only thinking about teasing her.

He was complaining about himself here, and Yang Qing was also complaining about him inside the house.

Why is this person so annoying? They always have to bully her, no matter what.

He's definitely messed up; he seems happy to see her angry.

However, there are advantages. Now she doesn't have to pretend anymore. She picked up the pastries on the table and put them in her mouth. Although these pastries were peanut brittle, which she disliked the most, they were still much tastier than dry, tough food that made her jaw hurt.

She imagined the crispy pastry as Li Shangxuan's hands, arms, and legs, and bit into it with great force, making a crunching sound.

No, she still didn't want to marry him.

Those things from her past life were originally spoken by him, and Yang Qing didn't know whether they were true or false; maybe he made them up to deceive her.

Not to mention, if she repeats the same mistake, wouldn't she be bullied for the rest of her life?

It was just a nap; she didn't sign a contract to sell herself into servitude. Besides, he was lying to her!
