Chapter 136 She is resisting him

The thunder came so fast and so loud!

Pei Jingxu's almond-shaped eyes suddenly shrank, and the tears that had stopped rolling down unconsciously.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was roaring.

Pei Jingxu's gaze focused almost dully as he looked back at Rong Jianxue in front of him.

Rong Jianxue did not have any unexpected reaction to the sudden thunderclap.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Rong Jianxue, who was tall, looked down at the woman in front of him who was frightened and pale.

He stood still, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if waiting for her to say something.

The woman's eyes flickered and tears fell, but she just stared at the man in front of her in a daze and panic. Her red lips opened slightly, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Her face was very pale and her beautiful lips were pursed. Pei Jingxu's tearful eyes flickered a few times, but she lost sight of the man in front of her, turned her head away, and no longer looked at him.

——She is resisting.

Realizing this, Rong Jianxue narrowed his eyes slightly, his cold eyes seemed to be soaked in water, silent and deep.

She turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Finally, she heard a very light laugh from the man above her head.

Before Pei Jingxu looked up, she saw that Rong Jianxue no longer looked at her and turned back to her seat.

The woman bit her lip slightly, but said nothing more. Her petite body trembled as she slowly sat back in her original position.

"Boom—"

Another thunder exploded!

The wine in Pei Jingxu's hand spilled out of the glass. Her knuckles turned slightly white as she clenched the glass tightly.

After Rong Xuanzhou comforted Bai Shutong, he finally returned to Pei Jingxu.

He frowned slightly, not paying attention to Pei Jingxu's frightened expression. He sat back beside her and said in a cold voice, "Pei Jingxu, are you satisfied now?"

At this moment, the woman seemed to have no intention of arguing with him. She moved back a little, as if trying her best to minimize her presence.

She held the wine cup with both hands, said nothing, and pursed her red lips.

When Rong Xuanzhou saw her like this, his face became even darker and his expression even more stern.

He whispered, "Go back tonight and apologize to Shu Tong. Do you hear me?"

Pei Jingxu lowered his head even lower, refusing to look at Rong Xuanzhou or respond to his words.

Rong Xuanzhou frowned, and even his voice became a little higher: "Pei Jingxu, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

As he spoke, he reached out and forcefully lifted Pei Jingxu's chin, forcing her to look at him.

Only then did he notice her slightly pale face.

Rong Xuanzhou frowned, his tone interrogating him, "Pei Jingxu, what do you want to do now?"

The man's hands were covered with fine calluses, left over from years of training and fighting.

The calluses at the base of the thumb were the hardest, and they rubbed Pei Jingxu so hard that she cried.

Her eyes were filled with tears and she bit her beautiful cherry lips lightly, like a branch of flowers in full bloom in March.

"Husband, husband..." Pei Jingxu deliberately stretched out her voice in a delicate and long voice, her frightened eyes trembling slightly, "Can I hold your hand..."

hand……

She didn't say the rest of the words.

She bit her lip slightly, as if she was struggling desperately.

Beside him, Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold, and he heard every word of their conversation clearly.

His fingertips groped for the rim of the wine cup, Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and he said nothing.

The man's eyes were cold, like the snow that never melts on the snow-capped mountains.

"What?"

Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly, still looking at her with impatience.

for a long time.

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and shook her head stiffly: "Nothing... nothing..."

His voice lowered timidly again.

After saying that, she broke free from Rong Xuanzhou's restraints, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Rong Xuanzhou frowned, and rubbed her chin lightly with the fingertips that had just pinched it, which actually gave off a faint cold fragrance.

Realizing what he was thinking, Rong Xuanzhou was slightly stunned.

His expression grew even darker. He glanced at Pei Jingxu, snorted coldly, and ignored her.

The thunder outside is not frequent.

But every thunderclap made the woman's face paler.

She bit her lips tightly, as if she wanted to make them bleed, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The woman looked extremely flustered and uneasy. She subconsciously looked towards Rong Jianxue, but she only glanced at her secretly and didn't dare to say a word.

The man looked straight ahead, sitting upright, not even glancing at her.

The rain is getting heavier.

Finally, the emperor who was above everyone else was surrounded by countless people and entered the Baohe Hall.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

In an instant, all the guests present knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live our emperor—"

The emperor's brows were full of high spirits. Rong Xuanzhou had pushed back the enemy's front line for dozens of miles, so he was naturally in high spirits and in high spirits!

Lifting his robe, the emperor slowly sat down, his tone soft and benevolent: "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Today is General Xuanzhou's celebration banquet. No need for such formalities. General Xuanzhou has decisively defeated the enemy, demonstrating the might of Yunlan and protecting our country. He truly is a formidable general under my command!"

The emperor's gaze fell on Rong Xuanzhou, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted to his "wife" beside him.

After a brief pause, the emperor continued with a smile, "Xuan Zhou, whatever reward you desire, please tell me, and I will grant it!"

Rong Xuanzhou stood up with a dignified demeanor. He walked to the front of the hall and knelt before the Emperor in the Mingtang Hall. "Your Majesty, I have a request that I hope Your Majesty will grant!"

The emperor's smile remained undimmed, his brows and eyes clear and handsome. "I heard some news earlier. General Xuanzhou and his wife have been childhood sweethearts, a loving couple. Naturally, I want to reward her for this great victory!"

"Tell me, General Xuanzhou, what reward do you want for your wife?"

In fact, this has been made very clear.

——A few days ago, there were rumors that at today's celebration banquet, the "wife" next to General Xuanzhou would be of high status. As long as General Xuanzhou asked, His Majesty would definitely be willing to promote her to an imperial decree!

What the emperor said at this time was a hint to Rong Xuanzhou that as long as he opened his mouth, it would be a done deal.

Seeing this, the guests present looked at Pei Jingxu with eagerness and envy.

Of course they knew how respected the status of the imperial edict was!

There are countless noble ladies, ladies from wealthy families, and wives of wealthy families in the capital, but there are only two or three in the entire Yunlan who can ask for an "imperial edict".

Noticing the gazes from all around, Pei Jingxu, although pale, straightened his back and pulled up a smile.

Rong Jianxue sat aside, his expression calm and composed.

Upon hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou kowtowed again and said in a high, cold voice, "This humble official wishes to request Your Majesty to grant an imperial decree to the widow of the general, Bai Shutong, to comfort the countless heroic souls on the battlefield!"

"I am willing to use all my military achievements to seek a title of imperial decree for the Bai family!"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

In an instant, all the guests were in an uproar!
