Chapter 768: One thing conquers another
The candlelight in the room flickered, and the shadows of the beams falling on the ground seemed to move with the wind.
As Tang Ning flipped through the book, her face turned frighteningly red.
...How could this be...
...Is this true or false...
Tang Ning's eyes were filled with mist, and her cheeks were steamed by the heat like ripe peaches. When she bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes were wide open in shock or disbelief.
When she looked at the woman in the picture album who was already "in pain" but had a spring-like look in her eyes, who was pressed against the edge of the boat, looking like she was in pain and joy, with the waves surging around her and her black hair flying, her lips were slightly open.
Isn’t this uncomfortable?
And that figure behind him, if it was my brother...
The album was somewhat reserved at the beginning, mostly taking place on the bed, and the actions were all very proper. However, as one turned the pages further, the contents of the album became more and more daring, with many shocking scenes and even the places where the actions took place became jaw-dropping.
Tang Ning could hardly hold the book in his hands. His heart was beating fast and he felt that the book was like a deadly poison.
It was as if he was holding a burning charcoal in his hand and wanted to throw it away immediately, but he kept tempting her to take another look, just one more look...
"What are you looking at?"
The sudden sound outside scared Tang Ning so much that he looked up suddenly.
When she saw a man in a black cloak standing outside, full of elegance and aloofness, the book in her hand fell to the table with a "click".
"Ah...Brother...why, why are you here?" Tang Ning stuttered.
Xiao Yan looked at the girl with a flushed face and pretty eyes. Just as he glanced curiously at the things on the table, he saw Tang Ning quickly picked up the booklet like a frightened rabbit and threw it into a box beside him. After closing it with force, he turned sideways to cover it, as if hiding something.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. What was so mysterious?
Tang Ning was already embarrassed by the things in the album, not to mention that she had just been thinking about Xiao Yan and her for a moment. As a result, as soon as the picture appeared, she saw the imaginary person standing in front of her.
The scene on the boat appeared before her eyes. She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan's waist, and suddenly remembered that time when he was naked and holding her in the hot spring pool, his waist was like a bow with a hidden string, full of strength...
Tang Ning's face was burning hot, and he quickly looked away. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig up a brick and crawl into it.
"Why is your face so red?"
"No, nothing."
Tang Ning stuttered for a moment. Seeing Xiao Yan's gaze fixed on her, she quickly blocked it again and said in a steady voice, "It was a little hot just now."
hot?
Xiao Yan glanced at the courtyard where the cold wind was blowing. The dead leaves on the tree branches had almost fallen off, and there was a thick layer of snow on them. Occasionally, a few lonely leaves were left, swirling and blown down by the wind. When the cold wind blew, people's faces were frozen and painful.
Is it still hot in this kind of weather?
Tang Ning blurted out the words and realized that she had said something stupid. Seeing Xiao Yan's gaze turned back to her, as if he was thinking about something, her face turned even redder. She quickly covered the things behind her and pretended to walk towards the window casually.
"Brother, why are you here so late? Didn't my aunt and the others say that we can't see each other on the eve of the wedding? If you are seen, my aunt will definitely teach you a lesson."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Auntie knows."
Tang Ning: "Ah?"
Xiao Yan walked towards the window, but did not enter the house. He just stopped outside and spoke to her through the window:
"That bastard Gu Helian has had the Tang Mansion surrounded tightly since the afternoon. There are three layers of guards inside and outside, and not even a bird can fly in. I sent people to deliver something secretly before, but he caught them and threw them out. He even found a few hunting dogs from somewhere and kept them in the yard. If I hadn't found an insider to help me early on, how could I get in now?"
"Did your aunt let you in?" Tang Ning asked.
Xiao Yan hummed, a little resentful: "Besides my aunt, who can suppress Gu Helian?"
Tang Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's called one thing conquers another. Besides, uncle is taking revenge on you because you always bullied him before."
"Do you blame me?"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. It was Gu Helian's fault for being so mean.
The Gu family is the God of Wealth, and Gu Helian is always shining with gold. He wishes he could have the three big words "I am rich" engraved on his forehead. Everyone in the capital calls him a rich man. The fact that he spends money like water is enough to make people hate him, but he also has a mouth.
Either don't speak, or if you do, you can choke people to death, either with sarcasm or sharp tongue.
If he hadn't been able to become Tang Ning's elder by relying on his influence, and if Mu Feng hadn't been by his side every step of the way, Gu Helian would have been dragged into the dark alley and covered with a sack long ago. How could he still be allowed to bully others and harass him in Jiyun Alley?
Seeing his rare indignation, Tang Ning smiled and reached out to pull his sleeve through the window: "Don't be angry, uncle is just joking. He doesn't dare to make a fuss too much with aunt here, otherwise aunt will pull his ears later."
Xiao Yan snorted softly, "He dares?! Speaking of which comes first, after tomorrow I'll be a member of the Rong family, and Gu Helian won't even be a member yet. If he really dares to mess with me during the wedding tomorrow, I'll show you how I'll deal with him when he wants to marry my aunt."
What goes around comes around, there will always be a hand that makes him sad.
Tang Ning burst out laughing when he heard this: "What do you mean by entering the house or not? You are the emperor, aren't you afraid of being heard and laughed at?"
"What's so funny? I'm happy to please my wife."
Tang Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
When the wind blew, the chill made Tang Ning's black hair lift up, and after the blush on her face faded away, she was filled with smiles. Xiao Yan turned sideways to block the cold wind outside, and saw the person inside with deep dimples and crescent-shaped eyebrows. He held her slightly cold little hand with his backhand.
"Are you still scared?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she met his gentle black eyes, which were filled with her figure, and felt a warm current flowing into her heart.
Although she had already sincerely promised to be with the man in front of her, and had been through many things with him and had decided on him in her heart, she was still apprehensive about the wedding tomorrow.
It was not a lack of trust in the beloved, nor was it a doubt about the feelings between them, but a kind of uneasiness about the unknown future and the impending marriage.
She had a dark past and had died in love. Even if she could escape from prison again and live a free life, those things would still affect her.
Tang Ning didn't know if she could be a good wife, nor did she know if she could be a convincing queen. Even though everyone around her was happy for her and gave her all their blessings, Tang Ning still felt uneasy in her heart.
She didn't dare show it, nor did she want others to know, and she didn't want to ruin the joy in everyone's eyes and make people think she was pretentious.
But the person in front of her saw through her uneasiness at a glance.
