Chapter 366: Endurance



Chu Xiaolian lifted the bed curtain with a dagger and looked down at Shangguan Wanning with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

"You really don't know what's good for you. He loves you so much, and you still want to marry someone else."

Shangguan Wanning was a little surprised because she knew who the "he" Chu Xiaolian was talking about.

She tried her best to hide the discomfort in her body, her hands tightly grasping the bed sheets, beads of sweat constantly flowing down her forehead.

"This is a matter between him and me, you have nothing to do with it...get out..."

Chu Xiaolian sneered and lifted Shangguan Wanning's chin with an icy dagger.

"I know that the reason why he is so obsessed with you is because he has never had you. Man! It's not impossible for you to marry Sun Jinyao, but... you have to be his woman first."

After saying that, Chu Xiaolian lightly touched Shangguan Wanning, and Shangguan Wanning's whole body stiffened and she could no longer move.

"you……"

Shangguan Wanning couldn't understand what Chu Xiaolian wanted. She felt more and more uncomfortable. Even her breathing became heavy and sweat almost soaked her entire back.

Chu Xiaolian carried Shangguan Wanning to Mu Jingrui's room.

She placed Shangguan Wan Ning on Mu Jingrui's chest and stared at her blankly for a long time.

Shangguan Wanning's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and at this moment there was only one thought left in her mind.

Chu Xiaolian's heart was bleeding as she recalled the painful experiences she had endured.

There’s no going back... She is no longer worthy of Mu Jingrui.

The sound of light footsteps was heard, and Chu Xiaolian came back to her senses from her memories. She gritted her teeth and jumped out of the window.

Mu Jingrui pushed open the door and paused.

He noticed someone in the room and became alert. But...

He walked towards the bed cautiously, lifted the bed curtain and saw Shangguan Wan Ning lying there.

Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her long hair was scattered, covering half of her collarbone. Her looming appearance made Mu Jingrui's blood boil in an instant.

“Ning’er…”

Mu Jingrui noticed something was wrong, sat down beside the bed and gently called Shangguan Wanning's name.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you... wake up..."

Shangguan Wanning heard Mu Jingrui's voice, and her remaining sanity made her want to shout for help, but she couldn't even hear the sound she made.

"Ning'er, I'll take you to find your master."

Mu Jingrui was worried that Shangguan Wanning might be hurt, so he pulled her up.

Shangguan Wanning took the opportunity to put her arms around Mu Jingrui's neck and kissed him hard.

Mu Jingrui was caught off guard and his mind went blank for a moment.

He wanted to push Shangguan Wanning away, but Shangguan Wanning hugged him with all her strength.

“Condensation…”

Shangguan Wanning ignored Mu Jingrui's struggle. She only knew that her whole body was burning hot and she needed someone to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

"Ning'er, what happened? Don't be like this..." Mu Jingrui finally restrained himself. He held Shangguan Wanning's arm tightly, calmed down and asked.

“Jingrui, I love you…why don’t you want me?”

"Don't be silly. How could I not want you... I'll go out first, and we'll talk after you calm down."

“Don’t… don’t go…”

Shangguan Wanning hugged Mu Jingrui from behind, her face pressed against his shoulder, and the hot breath she exhaled brushed across Mu Jingrui's neck.

This feeling made Mu Jingrui feel like he was about to explode.

“Ning’er…”

"Jing Rui, do you know... I was really sad that you didn't come to marry me. Why did you marry someone else? You said you would love me forever, why..."

Shangguan Wanning’s crying made Mu Jingrui feel very distressed.

He had no choice but to turn around and hug Shangguan Wanning in his arms again.

"Ning'er, I really had no choice. At that time, the Queen Mother... um..."

Shangguan Wanning didn't even let Mu Jingrui finish his words and kissed him on the lips again.

Mu Jingrui really wanted to take Shangguan Wanning with him, so that she could stay with him forever.

Once this thought came up, I could no longer suppress it.

Mu Jingrui responded to Shangguan Wanning's kiss, and they both fell to the ground.

He felt Shangguan Wanning's passion, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

Especially during those days when he was at the lowest point in his life and was humiliated by the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shangguan Wanning was like a ray of light that illuminated his darkest years. Without her help, he would never have achieved what he has today.

Thinking of this, Mu Jingrui took a deep breath and tapped Shangguan Wanning's eyebrows heavily.

Shangguan Wanning snorted softly and then fainted.

Mu Jingrui stood up and took several deep breaths to calm his thoughts. He took his clothes from the screen and wrapped Shangguan Wanning up, then used his Qinggong to leave the county government office under the cover of night.

He held Shangguan Wanning in his arms, found a secluded deep pool, and jumped in.

The cold water woke Shangguan Wanning up instantly. She shivered and subconsciously leaned into Mu Jingrui's warm arms behind her.

Mu Jingrui did not dodge. He knew that Shangguan Wanning's physique could not withstand such cold.

"Jingrui, I'm so cold..."

"Ning'er, don't be afraid, hold on." Mu Jingrui said, putting one hand on Shangguan Wanning's back and slowly injecting his internal energy into her body.

Shangguan Wanning's burning sensation was relieved as she soaked in the pool water. Slowly, it became less and less, until finally only her whole body was trembling.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Mu Jingrui asked softly.

Shangguan Wanning hugged herself with both hands and nodded gently.

She vaguely remembered the initiatives she had taken towards Mu Jingrui just now, and her face flushed. "Am I... am I... very rude?"

"No, I know you have no choice." Mu Jingrui embraced Shangguan Wanning in his arms. He hoped that one day, Shangguan Wanning would be able to show such enthusiasm for him when she was completely sober.

"If you think it's okay, I'll take you back."

"Okay." Shangguan Wanning leaned on Mu Jingrui's chest and responded after thinking.

On the way back, Mu Jingrui did not rush to use his Qinggong skills, but just walked back slowly while holding Shangguan Wanning.

The bright moonlight shone down, and Shangguan Wanning looked at the overlapping shadows of the two people on the ground and couldn't help feeling sad.

"Who did this to you?" Mu Jingrui asked in a low voice.

Shangguan Wanning hesitated for a moment and replied, "Chu Xiaolian."

"I understand. I'll take care of it. This won't happen again in the future."

Both of them fell into silence. Mu Jingrui carried Shangguan Wanning back to the county government office. Just as he was about to send her back to her room, he saw a slender figure standing in the yard.

"Brother Yao?" Shangguan Wanning was surprised.

She didn't want Sun Jinyao to think too much, so she signaled Mu Jingrui to put her down.
