Chapter 164
He's taking advantage of the fact that she can't use her leg properly!
Wen Shu struggled fiercely, "If you leave, I'll be too busy giving you a big send-off with drums and gongs."
"You little ingrate," Pei Lingjun pulled her into his arms, pinching her cheek with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Do you like that guy surnamed Lu?"
In public, he always calls him "Cousin Lu," but in private, he always refers to him as "Lu."
"What's it to you?" Wen Shu pried at his hand, her eyebrows furrowed in anger. "Put me down. It's getting late, I need to go home."
"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do after I leave?" Pei Lingjun seemed to ignore Wen Shu's words, resting his chin on her neck and sniffing her delicately.
The irregular breaths brushed against her skin, sending shivers down her spine with a tingling sensation. Wen Shu frowned, wondering what kind of fetish Pei Lingjun had.
Why do you have to hug someone while you're talking? And in such an intimate position...
"W-What are you going to do?"
Hearing Wen Shu ask the question, Pei Lingjun generously relaxed a bit, hooking his fingers around the strands of hair on her chest and entwining them around his fingertips.
Wen Shu deliberately avoided it, her gaze fixed on the candlestick not far away, lost in thought.
"His Majesty has granted Cai Jing permission to return to his hometown, and news has come from Cai Jing that he will depart in the next few days."
Suddenly realizing what Pei Lingjun was doing, Wen Shu abruptly turned her head, "You...you want to take Cai Hui's life?"
“Not bad.” The man’s sharp facial features cast many shadows under the candlelight, half of his face was in light and half in shadow.
Wen Shu knew about the blood feud he carried, and she had no right to blame him.
After all, if such a blood feud were to befall her, she would make the same choice as Pei Lingjun.
When do we set off?
"After the end of the year."
The pine trees outside are covered in snow; the year-end is just around the corner.
Wen Shu looked away; she was still sitting in Pei Lingjun's lap, feeling...ashamed.
"Put me down first," Wen Shu frowned, trying to steady herself on her good foot.
Just as success seemed imminent, the young man suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the hand around her waist tightened its grip.
They pulled her back again.
"Ah Shu, don't move..."
The man's low, hoarse voice, filled with suppressed emotion, was right beside me, and the rise and fall of his chest was clearly visible even through his clothes.
"You..." Wen Shu froze, "Are you...are you alright?"
They were husband and wife in their past life, so how could Wen Shu not know his current situation?
Serves him right! Who told him to provoke her for no reason?
"It's alright." Pei Lingjun suppressed his burgeoning desire, his eyes reddening slightly. "There's a lantern festival in Shanzhou on New Year's Eve. Would you like to come with me?"
Wen Shu couldn't possibly listen carefully to what he was saying, and hurriedly nodded.
Seeing her agree so readily, Pei Lingjun laughed instead, "A-Shu, if you send me such a big bowl of nourishing soup every day, how can my body take it in the long run?"
He was already burning with desire the moment she teased him.
"It's because of your old ailment, Uncle, that's why... um..."
With her soft, fragrant lips, Pei Lingjun kissed her sweet and tender lips.
"You lecherous scoundrel!"
Wen Shu was so angry that her body trembled. After a short while, she hopped out, one foot on the door frame, without even closing the door for him.
She wiped her lips, thinking to herself, "I might as well let him freeze to death!"
