Chapter 70 Love You the Way You Like

Jiang Yuan and Han Gaojie regained some sense only after they were caught and separated.

She looked down and saw that her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and the hem of her skirt was still hanging on the vulgar and ugly Han Gaojie's head. She was immediately filled with shame and anger, and rushed up to pick at him:

"You despicable thing, if you dare to flirt with me, I will fight you to death."

Han Gaojie dodged and cursed, "You crazy woman, you rushed to me without saying a word the moment we met, like a sex-hungry ghost. Now that you've been caught, you blame me. Don't you see that you are in this state? Your waist is almost as thick as mine. I don't even like you."

"You crazy woman, if you hit me again I will hit you back."

Han Gaojie still thinks he is innocent.

Someone sent him a secret letter this morning, saying that Wen Nianxi would meet him in the direction of the ginkgo forest in the afternoon, and asked him to wait here.

Han Gaojie was deeply attracted to Nianxi from the first time he saw her. He has always loved beautiful women, especially when she was so charming, as bright as a lotus and as bright as the morning glow.

But the beauty was aloof and turned a blind eye to his attentions. She also sat and slept with the strange Princess Wenshu every day, so it was difficult for him to succeed.

This letter was just like the pillow that met his sleep, so he had no choice but to accept it. So he did not go hunting today, but waited under the ginkgo tree early, waiting for his beloved.

Who knew that the beauty was only a vague shadow, and then a hot-tempered and lustful woman appeared out of nowhere, kissing and taking off her clothes as soon as they met.

What can he do? She took the initiative.

Of course he made love with her.

It was not until the maid of this woman called out and attracted a crowd of onlookers that Han Gaojie finally came to his senses, "You stinky woman, you actually set a trap for this prince!"

"I'm telling you, there are many people who love me. Don't say that I didn't sleep with you. Even if I broke your virginity today, you, a slut, can't even enter my house!"

"A lewd woman like you, don't even think about getting close to me!"

Han Gaojie's shouting attracted more and more people to watch. He had recognized Jiang Yuan's identity by this time, so he shouted even louder, proving that she seduced him first.

This is to avoid any disturbance in the Xindu Marquis' Mansion and hold him responsible.

He doesn't want such a lewd woman!

Jiang Yuan was still not fully awake and was being provoked by Han Gaojie again and again. She didn't care about the situation and just rushed up to fight with him.

The palace maids were all busy shouting "Stop the fighting", but no one really stepped forward to stop it. Instead, the scandal spread, and many palace maids on duty elsewhere also ran over to watch the fun.

Only Pei Jian stepped forward and kicked Han Gaojie to the ground, ending the farce.

He used all his strength in this kick, but Prince Han, who had been immersed in alcohol and sex for years, was unable to resist and was unable to get up from the ground for half a day.

Even the shouting became quieter.

Jiang Yuan, who was fighting with him, was frightened and gradually regained her clarity of mind.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei..." She looked at Pei Jian as if she had seen a savior.

Pei Jian didn't look at her, but stared at a certain direction. Jiang Yuan followed his gaze and saw that there was nothing there except a few palace ladies.

…

Xingyue supported Nianxi and avoided the two princesses. On the way back, she was excited and scared, "Miss, I am so relieved just now. She deserved it for letting her hurt others!"

Nianxi also felt happy.

"Thanks to Fuling and Yan Qing."

Otherwise, such retribution in this life would be really difficult to achieve.

Xingyue responded, "Do you want to prepare a thank-you gift?"

Of course she wanted a thank you gift. Regardless of whether Fuling and Yan Qing cared about it or not, it was the expression of her gratitude.

"When we return to Beijing, I will prepare two generous gifts."

Xingyue took note and asked curiously, "Just now, Pei Langjun stood up for Jiang Yuan. It's a shame that he is the eldest young master's friend. How despicable! I wonder what the relationship between Pei Langjun and Jiang Yuan is?"

Nian Xi recalled the look in Pei Jian's eyes when he looked at her just now: guilt, gratitude, relief, sadness... It was so complicated and hard to describe.

She shook her head and whispered, "Who knows? Let's go back quickly. The smell of alcohol makes people feel uncomfortable."

Xingyue smiled and agreed. The master and servant walked to the end of the long street and were about to turn into another road when a deep male voice suddenly came from behind:

"Nian Xi!"

"Wen Nianxi!"

Nian Xi turned around and saw Pei Jian walking towards her quickly.

"Miss……"

Xingyue was a little nervous, thinking that Pei Jian was seeking revenge for what happened under the ginkgo tree, so she quickly stepped in front of Nianxi.

"Nothing." Nian Xi said softly to Xing Yue, "Wait for me on the side."

Xingyue hesitated, but she couldn't disobey the young lady, so she could only walk out, looking back every few steps. Pei Langjun walked up to the young lady with a gloomy face, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Who would have thought that he would speak very cautiously:

"Are you okay?"

Nian Xi looked at him and said calmly, "Why would something happen to me?"

Pei Jian panted twice, as if he had returned to the human world, and laughed softly twice, "I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay."

Nian Xi looked at him quietly for a moment and asked, "Do you think Jiang Yuan is me?"

"No, I'm just worried..."

He was always calm and composed, but now he seemed to be afraid of something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm just afraid that I'll hurt you again."

Nianxi didn't know that it was Pei Jian who had pushed her to come to Quzuo Paddock. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but sigh, "It has nothing to do with you."

Perhaps it was because she was born to be incompatible with the aura of her "cousin", and she could never live in peace in her past and present lives.

"No," Pei Jian shook his head gently. He looked at her bright face with an almost lustful look, his eyes moving and his expression unparalleled. "No, Nianxi. What happened today was all my fault."

"I was the one who invited the Crown Prince to the hunting grounds and suggested that he bring Princess Wenshu with him. I knew the princess would invite you along, and I wanted to separate you so I could have a chance."

"I bought your favorite snacks and preserved fruits. I thought about it very carefully before coming here. What to say to you, how to make you happy... I have planned everything."

"But just now I heard the palace people spread a misunderstanding, thinking that the woman under the ginkgo tree was you. At that moment, I felt so overwhelmed that it was hard to describe how I felt."

"I never thought that one day I would be so scared that I would tremble all over."

Pei Jian used to look down on people who regretted their actions. He thought that those who indulged in the past were just a symbol of incompetence. But just now, he felt heartbroken and empathized with the person.

Nian Xi lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes, and she just listened to him quietly.

Pei Jian chuckled, but his laughter was filled with unspeakable bitterness. "At that time, I thought I was the only one reborn, and I had made up my mind not to fall in love with anyone again. It's the same now. Unless it's you, it's not bad to be alone like this."

"I won't force it anymore, whether you love me or not. You're right, love can't be calculated, I was wrong all along."

In the past, if someone asked Pei Jian whether he could love someone without asking for anything in return and with selfless dedication, he would definitely sneer at the answer.

He is overbearing. He wants everything from his lover and wants his love to be disregarding everything else.

Today, Pei Jian is deeply grateful for the tranquility that the ginkgo leaves falling on her shoulders bring.

"Nianxi, I still love you, but I will learn to do it the way you like."

After saying this, he took out the gift that he had kept close to his heart all the way from his arms, opened it, and handed it to Nianxi. The snack was already broken into pieces, but the preserved fruits were still full and crystal clear.

Nian Xi was stunned for a moment.

She had never thought that Pei Jian, who was always proud, would say this to her. She could not help but look at him. His figure was straight, like a bamboo or a pine tree. The autumn wind blew across the corners of his clothes. He was like a towering jade mountain, and his elegance was reserved.

She opened her lips and was about to speak when she heard someone calling her from above, "Nian'er!"

Nianxi looked up and saw Princess Wenshu waving at her from a high platform not far away. Next to the princess stood a very familiar tall figure.

I don't know when he came.

How long did you stand there?
