Chapter 167 Uninvited Guests
"Xiao Yuan, do you believe in karma? Maybe, you and I are it." She didn't take the lantern, but looked at him straight.
"Bad fate is also fate, and it is also destined."
He stepped forward without saying anything, placed the rabbit lantern on the water, and then looked at Shen Anan with a threatening look, "Make a wish."
"..." Shen Anan could only close his eyes and put his hands together, "I hope that in this life, we can live in harmony and grow old together."
If we have to die this time, let's die together. It's absolutely impossible for her to die alone in depression in her previous life.
"What else?"
"What else?" Shen Anan looked at him blankly.
For generations to come? Forget it, there are so many lanterns in the river, even if there are gods, it is impossible for all of them to come true. But Shen Anan doesn't dare to gamble. If it comes true, how long will they be entangled?
These two lives are enough torture.
"My name, don't mention my name. Are you the one you want to grow old with, the one you want to remember in your heart?"
"..." When did she start silently reciting someone else's name?
Shen Anan held her breath and said, "The lanterns haven't floated far away yet, I'll add them."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and made a new wish, "I hope that in this life I can live with Xiao Yuan as an equal, and grow old together."
Only then was he satisfied, and he gently tied her cape around her, as if he had become a completely different person, "It's cold outside, let's go to the boathouse."
Shen Anan glared at him and curled her lips. Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. It must be said that it was really cold outside. There were no houses around, only the lake, and there was nothing to block the wind.
At this time, their boat had gone a long way without them noticing. Shen Anan was about to go into the boathouse with Xiao Yuan when she suddenly saw an equally luxurious large ship heading towards them.
"Whose boat is that?" She turned her head and asked Xiao Yuan.
"It has nothing to do with us." He said coldly, "Tonight belongs to us. Why bother with those trivial matters? They are disturbing our interest."
He grabbed her wrist without saying anything and went into the cabin.
The decoration of the boat room is also very gorgeous, with more bright red as the color. There are dragon and phoenix wedding candles as thick as arms burning on the table, and there are layers of curtains on the bed, giving people a charming feeling of infinite reverie.
Shen Anan was stunned for a few breaths, then looked back at Xiao Yuan.
He was also looking at himself, with a deep black color dancing in his dark eyes.
"What are you doing?"
How do you dress like a bridal chamber? It’s only been a few days since their wedding night, it was perfect and there are no regrets, so why are they doing this?
Xiao Yuan suddenly came over, pressed Shen An'an's waist against the table, and flicked her crotch with his fingers, "You're leaving in a few days, shouldn't you make it up to your husband? An'an, we haven't had sex for a few days?"
"..." Shen Anan's face turned red, "It's only been two days since we were separated."
"No," he hugged her waist, afraid that the table would be too hard and would hurt her soft waist, "it's been two years. I miss you so much that I feel sick every day."
Shen Anan had a blank expression and had nothing to say.
Xiao Yuan's love words came one after another, leaving her at a loss as to how to continue.
Xiao Yuan lazily played with her small earlobe, blowing gently on her ear crotch and swinging it back and forth, "Madam seems to be quite indifferent to sex, so I have to put in some effort to help Madam get excited."
Shen Anan stared at him.
Is she cold?
"This is a disease and needs to be treated." Xiao Yuan said seriously.
Is she sick, or is he simply unsatisfied and lacking self-control?
Shen Anan was too lazy to argue with him about these things, and she didn't have such a thick skin, so she said, "This is outside, you have no shame, but I still have."
"The boatman will stop the boat far away. No one will dare to approach it. No one will know. There will be a small boat to take them away. Madam, don't worry."
So he has arranged everything?
He slowly stroked her pretty little face, which was rosy in the candlelight, and said, "An An, you have to cooperate with me. Let's slowly sweep away those regrets and leave behind beautiful memories."
Whenever she recalls it in the future, the first thing that comes to her mind will be the absurd night on the boat, rather than the frustration of not being able to get what she wanted.
Shen Anan's face was a little bitter. It was fine in the mansion, but she really couldn't accept it on the boat.
"When does An An plan to leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan?" Xiao Yuan's eyes were filled with provocative threats.
"...wait until the banquet at Yongning Marquis's Mansion is over and leave."
The banquet at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was on the third day of the New Year. She would wait until the gate was closed and then leave.
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and said nothing, his meaning was very clear, Shen Anan could only grit his teeth, nodded, and agreed.
She must go to Jiangnan. She must catch Gu Tan and give her elder brother a fulfilling life. She must find out the identity of the woman favored by the emperor and what happened back then and give an explanation for her grandmother's death.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were instantly filled with tenderness, taking Shen An'an in completely, and he led her to the table.
There was a pot of wine on the table, and he poured it for the two of them personally and handed it to Shen Anan.
“…I don’t drink.”
"With me here, you don't have to worry about getting drunk. This wine won't make you feel uncomfortable."
The atmosphere was at this point, Shen Anan could only take it and raise her head to drink, but suddenly Qingfeng's voice was heard outside.
"Master, the Second Prince is also on the cruise ship, and invites you to come over and have a few drinks with him."
"No." Xiao Yuan's face turned cold.
It really is a haunting presence that ruins the mood.
Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Second Prince's Consort and the Duan sisters are also here, and they want to talk to the Prince's Consort."
Xiao Yuan was about to refuse, but Shen Anan held his wrist and put the wine glass on the table. "Since they invited you, just go over and sit down. The night is still long, there is no need to rush."
After hearing what she said, Xiao Yuan's expression finally eased a little. He glanced at her and asked, "You want to go?"
"Three women are a show, so naturally I want to go and see the fun."
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, "I see that you are not interested in the bar."
Shen Anan curled her lips, "Are you going or not? Why? Are you unwilling to see Duan Mengmeng?"
Xiao Yuan really didn't understand why Shen Anan always liked to put Duan Mengmeng and himself together. What made her have the illusion that he had feelings for Duan Mengmeng?
His face paused, and he suddenly remembered her accusations in the dream. It seemed that she mentioned Duan Mengmeng repeatedly. So, was all this the cause of her past life that she mentioned?
"Why should I be reluctant? If you want to go, just go ahead." Xiao Yuan said while holding back his anger.
The boat of the Second Prince's Mansion was the one that Shen Anan pointed at on the boat table just now. It was luxurious and eye-catching.
Of course, their ship is also very eye-catching, but it is the colorful flowers that attract attention.
The second prince Xiao Ze stood on the hull. His hull was surrounded by walls to block the cold wind. There were round tables and benches inside, as well as various musical instruments. There were several women dressed seductively who were plucking the strings to test the sound. They were obviously singers invited from outside.
Really know how to enjoy.
"Do you still want to go?" Xiao Yuan ignored Xiao Ze's enthusiastic greeting and said to Shen Anan.
"Of course, there are beauties to look at, so why not go."
Xiao Yuan held his breath and said, "If you want to see beauties, go back and look at them in the bronze mirror. What's so good about those vulgar women?"
Don't say it, there is some sarcasm, but Xiao Yuan is quite good at talking. At least this sentence is very useful to Shen Anan.
"Surrounded by beauties, don't you like it?" She glanced at Xiao Yuan from the side.
He suddenly laughed, quite meaningfully, "Of course I like them, but they are not ordinary singers, they not only sell their art, but also their bodies. Maybe half of their clothes will be gone while they are dancing. Do you mind if I watch? "
"I don't mind," Shen Anan was very generous, "Let's enjoy the beauty's dancing figure together."
"But...how come the Fourth Prince knows so much about the ways of these singing girls? Has he been there before?"
Xiao Yuan was already irritated by her words "she didn't mind" and ignored her.
Shen Anan felt that the Second Prince should not be so absurd. After all, his principal wife and concubines were all there, as well as her, his brother's wife. He should not be so blatant. But the result told her that she took Xiao Ze too seriously.
The two boats docked together, and Xiao Yuan and Shen Anan boarded Xiao Ze's boat.
Shen Anan didn't care what the two brothers said, she greeted Zhou.
The round table was not big, but there were empty seats. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ze sat in the rocking chairs facing the singer. Xiao Ze was pointing at the dancers and talking to Xiao Yuan about something.
Therefore, she and Zhou were the only two sitting at the round table, and Duan Yingying was waiting behind Zhou, serving tea and water like a maid.
Of course, in Zhou's eyes, Duan Mengmeng was not qualified to sit, so she stood on the other side, and Duan Yingying guarded Zhou like the left and right protectors.
If it was before, Duan Mengmeng would definitely be disdainful, but after seeing Shen Anan's glory and being ridiculed and suppressed by her, the arrogance in her heart came up, and she often glanced at Xiao Ze inadvertently.
Duan Yingying saw everything and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
Shen Anan didn't care how Zhou embarrassed the Duan sisters. On the contrary, the more she did so, the more she could irritate Duan Mengmeng, which would be more beneficial to her.
She and Zhou did not have such a verbal argument, and their conversation was quite harmonious. It seemed that she had really forgotten about the two people behind her, or she really treated them as maids.
There were all kinds of delicious food on Xiao Ze's boat. Zhou also liked drinking, so she drank several glasses, and her fair skin gradually turned red.
Shen Anan was not good at drinking, so he only drank one cup and stopped.
The singing and dancing over there also reached its climax. The dancers boldly took off their outer clothes, leaving only a long dress that covered their chests. Their long arms and collarbones were naked, and even the fullness of their breasts was faintly visible.
Xiao Ze held the wine cup, leaned forward and stared at the scene closely, his eyes leaping with excitement.
Wine and sex go hand in hand. When the alcohol gets in your head, lust is not far away. Zhou looked at his drooling look and was so angry that her nails dug into her flesh.
At the same time, she was very sad, "Fourth brother's wife, you are so lucky to marry a man as chaste as my fourth brother."
"She doesn't indulge in wine and women, and her backyard is clean. Unlike me, I have sleepless nights and days, guarding the title of the Second Prince's Consort and being on guard against a bunch of little bitches with ulterior motives."
Zhou felt dizzy. The dancer over there had already started to tear off her belt and wrapped it around her hands. She was slowly dancing towards Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ze, dancing gracefully and throwing the belt at them.
Zhou couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she said she felt unwell and went back to the boat to rest.
This was a good thing for Duan Yingying, who had been standing. She snorted coldly and sat down in the seat where Zhou had just sat. Duan Mengmeng naturally would not force herself to continue standing, so she sat down as well.
Shen Anan ignored the two of them and looked at the dancers with interest, wanting to know how bold they could be.
Until someone kept moving closer to Xiao Yuan.
