Chapter 75
Before Wen Shu could react, her chin was lifted, forcing her to meet Pei Lingjun's dark, inky eyes.
His breath trembled, his right knee pressed against her thigh, leaning forward slightly—a posture brimming with aggression.
"Don't marry him! Wen Shu, he's not right for you."
The woman, who was half-surrounded, had no chance of escaping. She was no match for the man in terms of strength. Being forcibly entered into her home in the middle of the night, she felt extremely wronged.
Tears welled in her eyes, and Wen Shu, furious, reached out to push him away. "What do you mean? Am I supposed to marry you instead of him?!"
The woman's willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed deeply as she glared at him, her expression a mixture of coquettish anger and sullenness.
Pei Lingjun's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed as he caught a whiff of her pleasant fragrance. During their struggle, her undergarments had become increasingly loose, the thin neckline barely covering anything...
His gaze suddenly shifted, and Pei Lingjun swallowed hard, his face flushed as he asked her, "Are you willing?"
"???"
After a long, stunned silence, Wen Shu finally came to her senses and stared at him in disbelief, managing to stammer, "Have you no shame?"
Pei Lingjun: "..."
"Ah Shu, I'm not joking." His voice suddenly became much hoarse, and his gaze fell on her face from top to bottom. He spoke in a serious tone, "When we first met, I threatened you in the temple and you still managed to escape unscathed. Afterwards, you hid me in the medicine shop. At that time, I thought to myself, this young lady Wen is quite extraordinary. She is clever and intelligent and can't wait for me to die."
"Later, I heard you got engaged. When Wenxi brought Qi Chengxuan to the medicine shop to question you, you couldn't argue with them, and even your fiancé wouldn't help you. I was thinking, when Miss Wen was bullying me, she was so domineering, but in reality, she was often bullied by others herself. And your taste in men is really terrible..."
Wen Shu punched him, "Are you ever going to stop?!"
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Wen Shu opened her eyes wide in surprise to see Pei Lingjun holding her hand and placing it on his heart.
"Later, when I moved into the Wen family mansion, you were punished by being made to kneel in the ancestral hall. I was worried about you, so I stayed with you all night. Later, Wen Tao was assassinated, and I was also injured. I tried every means to keep you here to apply medicine for me, saying that I could break off the engagement for you. But you smashed the pear blossom wine I had given you. Until later, you and Qi Chengxuan were officially engaged, and you turned me away..."
Pei Lingjun stared into her eyes and said, word by word, "Wen Shu, I just like you."
That's insane.
Pei Lingjun must be insane!
The hem of the red wedding dress on the clothes rack fluttered in the wind, and the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Wen Shu quickly withdrew her hand, her lips twitching for a long time before she could utter a word.
This shouldn't be the case.
Wen Shu blinked, a thought flashing through her mind: What did he want to use her for this time?
Do you like her?
No.
Pei Lingjun was in love with Princess Jiang Xianyi of Sui'an.
When he was 'Song Yuanzhuo', he could pretend to like her, but when he turned back into Pei Lingjun, he no longer bothered to use such words to deceive her.
"Enough!" Wen Shu's face turned cold, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. "Cousin, you may be out of your mind today. I'll pretend I never heard these words. Please leave."
