Chapter 22 Honeymoon Trip~
Not long after the sun came out, the rain started drizzling again.
Pei Hengzhi knelt down in a sorry state, sprawled on the ground, his knees throbbing with pain, especially the sudden contact with the bluestone slab, which felt like being thrown from the air.
"Luo, Yun, Qing!"
Just as he was about to get up, a white sneaker stained with mud and water stomped hard on the back of his hand. Before he could pull away, his hair was grabbed and pulled back, forcing him to raise his head.
"You never learn." Luo Yunqing leaned down, slapped his face with each word, "You should call me, Second Aunt."
Her gaze shifted, slowly moving from his fiery, almost murderous eyes to his vulnerable neck.
If only I had a knife to cut open this artery.
Blood spurted out instantly!
Pei Yanli wouldn't be pushed down the stairs by him like she was in her previous life, causing secondary injuries and permanently rendering her unable to stand.
The more he gripped his hair, the tighter it became.
Pei Hengzhi had the illusion that his scalp was about to be ripped off, and he became even more certain that he was furious. "I hit the nail on the head! You're only after money!"
He was terrified of poverty growing up in an orphanage. Now, all he has to do is say a few nice words to please his second uncle and make him happy, and he can get a large sum of money. He certainly won't give it up easily.
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.
"What does this have to do with you?" Luo Yunqing grabbed his hair and shook it back and forth. "You always say I'm doing this for money, so what?"
Pei Hengzhi frowned in pain, but his gaze went downwards, staring menacingly at the slightly open collar behind him, where several fresh hickeys had appeared. "For money, you really are willing to do anything!"
"Ha!" Luo Yunqing immediately tightened her collar, put her five fingers together and ran them through the stray hairs on her forehead, flicked the water droplets off her fingertips, and suddenly broke into a bright smile, her voice becoming much gentler, "You're wrong, I like him the most, the most."
"impossible!!"
"What are you two doing here?"
Seeing that it was starting to rain outside, Pei Yanli, who was still in the old man's courtyard, quickly asked Chen Zhao to go and bring her an umbrella.
He turned past the pavilion in the center of the garden and headed straight for the owner's courtyard. He slightly raised his black umbrella and saw the owner's wife stop halfway there.
Not only that, but there was also a person kneeling at his feet.
Chen Zhao looked closely and saw Pei Hengzhi!
He quickly glanced left and right to see if anyone had seen him. Unfortunately, two maids with umbrellas appeared to his right, just a few meters away from turning into the road where the landlady and her family were.
Ignoring everything else, Chen Zhao strode over, opened another umbrella in his hand, and handed it to her. "The boss saw that it was raining outside and specially asked me to bring you an umbrella. Boss lady, let me take you home first."
He glanced at the corner as he spoke.
Someone is coming.
Luo Yunqing then released her foot from Pei Hengzhi's hand, took the umbrella, and strode away without looking back.
After he left, Chen Zhao glanced at the ground, then at the umbrella in his hand, and sighed, "What a pity, there's only one umbrella left."
After saying that, he started walking and caught up with Luo Yunqing.
“Boss lady, I know you’re angry, but you…” Chen Zhao said with lingering fear, “Luckily there were no surveillance cameras in that area, otherwise there would have been evidence.”
"I know there are no security cameras." Luo Yunqing only made her move after confirming that there were none.
Even if it exists, he will find a way to lure people to a place where it doesn't exist.
Chen Zhao didn't understand. "Why did you suddenly attack him? If you were really angry, why didn't you just lure him out of the old house, put a sack over his head, and beat him up? At least you wouldn't know who it was."
Chen Zhao's increasingly rapid pace suddenly slowed down. Before he could stop, he had taken several more steps forward and turned back in confusion.
“He said… I was doing it for money.” Luo Yunqing pursed her lips, her eyelids drooping slightly. “He said I would do anything for money.”
"This kid has gone too far!! I'm going to tell the boss right now." Chen Zhao turned around and prepared to go back.
Luo Yunqing intervened, "That's why I beat him up, and there are no surveillance cameras in that area."
"Then that's it, let him bully me as he pleases!" Having probably said even harsher things, Chen Zhao grew angrier the more he thought about it: "I really regret it so much, I shouldn't have saved him in the first place!"
Luo Yunqing nodded, then asked halfway through, "You... saved him?"
“Yes.” Recalling the incident, Chen Zhao felt like he had swallowed a fly, unable to swallow it or spit it out. “The year he turned 10, my boss and I came back from abroad. The kid was playing and fell into the water. I’ve always been a good swimmer, so I went in to save him.”
Luo Yunqing's eyes twitched twice, and she rubbed her forehead: "You're the one who saved him."
"Please don't repeat it." If Chen Zhao had known he would end up rescuing this thing, he would have preferred to have been blind and not seen it back then.
"No, no, no." Luo Yunqing shook her head with a laugh: "You know what he told me. He said that Song Xuechen saved him."
"Huh?" Chen Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Song Xuechen? At that time... let me do the math, he was only 7 years old! Could he have saved someone who was 3 years older than him? And afterwards, the boss saw that my clothes were wet and asked me what happened."
"In other words," Luo Yunqing slowly parted her lips, "someone has claimed it fraudulently."
"Let them claim it fraudulently."
Chen Zhao waved his hand dismissively.
But I feel disgusted whenever I think about what he did to the boss.
“You can’t say that.” Luo Yunqing unbuttoned the choker around her neck, touched the marks left on it, and then, remembering Pei Hengzhi’s reaction when he saw the marks, she smiled and discussed with him, “Why don’t you let me claim it too?”
Chen Zhao: ?
Luo Yunqing suddenly thought of a brilliant and clean solution, "Since it doesn't work with the Pei family, then naturally we have to find a solution from my Xiaoxue."
Chen Zhao: "What can we do about him?"
“You don’t understand him.” Luo Yunqing smiled meaningfully. “He’s doubly afraid of losing anything he’s stolen. If he knew that I was the one who saved Pei Hengzhi, what do you think he would do?”
Chen Zhao pressed his lips to his lips in deep thought: "Kill you?"
Luo Yunqing: "..."
What happened to the rule of law in our society? Can't we think of something normal?
"It seems unrealistic." Chen Zhao also felt that his idea was too far-fetched. "Besides, it's just such a small matter."
Luo Yunqing: "What if we add other things?"
Chen Zhao probed: "For example?"
“Pei Hengzhi… fell in love with someone else,” Luo Yunqing pointed back to herself, “me.”
After a two-second silence, Chen Zhao silently turned his head away, his lips twitching slightly.
If I remember correctly, he had just stepped on someone's hand, pulled their hair, and apparently punched them in the face twice.
Would Pei Hengzhi like him?
Is it masochism?
He suppressed a laugh and coughed, "Even if I did fall for you, so what?"
“That’s when the sense of crisis comes. Especially for someone like Song Xuechen.” After all, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stay in the Song family, so he tried to seduce Pei Hengzhi. The more Luo Yunqing thought about this method, the more feasible it seemed. “In that case, we won’t even need to lift a finger; he’ll figure something out himself. He’ll cling to Pei Hengzhi and become deeply tied to him.”
Chen Zhao: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
Reaching the courtyard gate, Luo Yunqing stopped again: "Then think of a good way for me, how about we just drug him directly?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Chen Zhao was mainly worried about getting him involved.
He was trying to keep it a secret from the boss, and if it got discovered, the boss's wife would be fine, but he, as an accomplice, would really lose his job.
"Okay!" Luo Yunqing thought to herself.
I was thinking too much on the way back. To keep my hands clean, I kept my methods becoming more and more roundabout. The simplest way would be without his interference.
"Anyway, Ali and I are going on our honeymoon." He tossed the stall aside. "Give it a try, and try to get a good result."
"Boss lady..."
"Don't disturb us during our honeymoon."
…………
Before noon, the sky had completely cleared up.
After lunch and packing their luggage, at 2:00 PM sharp, Luo Yunqing and Pei Yanli set off for the coast to board a cruise ship owned by the Pei family.
Chen Zhao stood on the shore, watching them until the cruise ship left the shore, feeling a chill in his heart.
The task the landlady gave me is really difficult.
“The cruise ship will stop by Lover’s Island.” Pei Yanli held a map and a drawn itinerary, her other hand casually resting on the other person’s waist. “I heard that many newlyweds choose this island for their honeymoon. There’s seafood, you can go fishing… there are quite a few entertainment facilities.”
Luo Yunqing leaned lazily against his chest, her fingertips twirling a corner of a piece of paper. "There's a hot spring in the suite! Can your legs soak now?"
"The doctor said it's okay to soak in it to promote blood circulation, but you can't soak for too long."
Okay~
Luo Yunqing loosened her fingers, rubbed against his chest, and unconsciously revealed her canine teeth: "Let's go soak in the hot spring together."
The hand that was resting on her waist slowly moved upwards.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. Luo Yunqing raised her head and went to meet it.
Hehe, Pei Yanli kissed him on her own initiative.
"Lying like this...it must be uncomfortable, right?" Pei Yanli stepped back and bit his lip, glancing at his legs, which forced him to kneel and crawl.
Reach out and you can grasp the ankle resting on the side of the wheelchair; the other half of the ankle has already been bruised.
If he doesn't have to use a wheelchair anymore, will Xiao Luo feel better?
"It's alright, this is perfect." Luo Yunqing placed her hands on either side of his waist, gently rubbing her waist against him. "Right now, it's Ali who's feeling unwell, isn't it? Let me help you!"
As he spoke, he went to unbutton his shirt.
“Xiao Luo…wife.” Pei Yanli quickly grabbed his hand. “We’re on a boat now.”
Luo Yunqing reached into the pocket on the right side of her wheelchair and said, "It's 3:20 now. There are still two hours until sunset. We'll get to the island after sunset, so we'll have enough time."
He hurriedly put down his phone, saying as he untied the phone, "I'm afraid we won't have enough time, please hurry."
The moment he inserted his penis, Pei Yanli straightened her back, placed the itinerary on the coffee table next to her, wrapped her arms around his waist, and bit his collarbone.
"Wife...it can't be done quickly."
…………
We ultimately failed to see the sunset at 5:20.
Luo Yunqing pushed the person to the deck, where only a sliver of the afterglow remained on the horizon.
Pei Yanli felt extremely guilty: "Let's see about it tomorrow."
"Okay." Waiting for the boat to dock, Luo Yunqing released her right hand and handed it over. "But my hand is so sore."
My palms are all rubbed red.
Pei Yanli silently rubbed his hands.
A breath suddenly landed beside her ear, "Next time, try... try the other hand, or... use something else. Huh? Honey, your ears are so red."
28-year-old Pei Yanli is so innocent.
Luo Yunqing teased him the whole way.
After disembarking, I got into a car sent by the hotel to pick me up.
At this time of year, although it has rained, it hasn't gotten too cold, and it's also seafood season, so there are quite a few tourists.
The hotel butler introduced the sights to them along the way. When he learned that they planned to go fishing, he recommended a few places: "Fishing is convenient on the island, but there is a smaller island not far from here. It is quieter and more suitable. Most people who come to fish go there. There is night fishing tonight, and there are also small boats going to that island at 10 am and 2 pm tomorrow. You can choose the time freely."
"Let's get some rest early tonight." Having already been on the boat for over two hours, Luo Yunqing was worried that Pei Yanli's health wouldn't be up to par. "How about we go tomorrow afternoon?"
Pei Yanli did not disobey him.
Twenty minutes later, the van arrived at the hotel.
The butler led them through the hall and then into the archway, where they found themselves in a bamboo grove filled with Chinese aesthetics, with artificial hills, babbling brooks, and soft nightlights illuminating the cobblestone path.
"Your luggage has been delivered to your room. Turn left after entering through this main door and you'll find the hot spring pool. You can soak there if you'd like, or you can go through the archway to the lobby, where there's a large public bath with an even bigger hot spring pool." The butler explained the basic layout of the room, including the hotel's emergency escape routes, and then asked, "Would you like to have your meal now?"
Luo Yunqing nodded.
"Alright. We'll make the arrangements for you two right away." The butler glanced at his watch. "The meal is expected to arrive in about fifteen minutes. We won't disturb you any longer. We wish you a pleasant stay."
After the person left, Luo Yunqing pushed the child around, focusing on the hot spring pool. "Dad recommended it, it's pretty good. We'll come here after dinner to digest."
Pei Yanli agreed.
Back in the room, he eagerly opened his suitcase and pulled out a shirt even thinner than the one he wore on their wedding night, along with a long, thin necklace.
Why would you wear that while soaking in a hot spring?
Before he could figure it out, the butler had dinner brought in.
Considering Pei Yanli's health and Luo Yunqing's eating habits, all the seafood was cooked thoroughly, and there were also shrimp noodles and seafood baked rice as main dishes.
After the meal, there was a small piece of coconut jelly.
Luo Yunqing scooped up a small spoonful, glanced at the person opposite her, and winked.
Pei Yanli: "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
"It's delicious, you should try it!" Luo Yunqing got up, walked to the other side, scooped out a spoonful, and brought it to his mouth.
Pei Yanli doesn't actually like sweets, but... he opened his mouth, and Luo Yunqing stuffed the coconut jelly into it.
Seeing that he was being teased, Pei Yanli laughed it off.
However, not long after, Luo Yunqing put down the coconut jelly and spoon, hugged his face and kissed him.
After filtering the sweet coconut jelly, only a slight aftertaste remains.
"That's much better!"
Pei Yanli swallowed hard and nodded.
"Want some more?"
"……want."
Dinner was eaten later than expected.
In preparation for the hot springs later, Luo Yunqing pushed him out for a walk to digest his food. The hotel lobby was bustling with activity as many tourists, dressed in sauna suits, headed towards the large public bath.
The two attracted attention as soon as they appeared.
Pei Yanli awkwardly pulled at the blanket on his lap, but Luo Yunqing immediately pushed him away.
This place is not like a welfare home.
The view can be good or bad.
"Huh? Old Pei?"
Just as I was about to head back, Teng Zaiye, sporting a striking head of pink hair, strode through the crowd and said, "You two came here to have fun!"
Luo Yunqing didn't reply to him, but tilted her head and looked behind him with a quiet gaze.
Brother Xiaoyu!
"It's just a company team building activity." Jiang Ziyu turned to the side, covered her mouth, and coughed lightly: "Don't get the wrong idea."
Luo Yunqing: "Company team building, the two of you?"
Jiang Ziyu turned around, and her colleagues who had been following behind her waved from afar and walked away one by one.
