A waning moon hung in the sky, casting the shadows of branches across a carriage on an elevated road not far from the Lu family residence. The moonlight was as clear as a mirror, creating a serene and expansive atmosphere.
When Xie Rongyue lifted the carriage curtain and entered, she saw him sitting impatiently on a small couch covered with brocade quilts. The moonlight shone on half of his face, making him look gloomy and deep.
Why is it so slow?
She put her luggage aside, ignored him, and pulled Fu Yun behind her into the car.
Wang Hezhan frowned and spoke coldly when he saw the maid.
"An Yi, take her riding a horse."
"---"
Xie Rongyue watched helplessly as Fu Yun was taken away, her lips pressed tightly together.
Wang Hezhan glanced at her casually, "You look so unhappy, are you reluctant to leave your ex?"
"---"
She walked over on her own and nestled softly into his arms.
"I have done as you instructed. When will the Prefect of the Capital release the person?"
The beauty was obedient and compliant, and he wasn't a clueless fool. His expression softened, and he lifted her by the waist and held her in his arms.
"They've been released."
Xie Rongyue finally felt relieved when he agreed.
She thought of the child in her womb, a cold glint in her eyes. She couldn't hide it for long; she had to abort the child before he found out.
Even if she were childless for life, she would not want her child to be born as an illegitimate son, struggling to survive under the care of his legal wife.
"Moon~"
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he kissed her with a familiar scent. His cool hands skillfully untied her sash and reached under her skirt to caress her.
Xie Rongyue quickly pressed his hand down, panting, "Brother He Zhan, I've started my period."
Wang Hezhan didn't believe it, but when she offered her lips to him, he unbuckled his belt and covered her mouth with his own. He then leaned back and let her have her way.
Their bodies were pressed close together, her soft lips kissing him tenderly, her sweet and soft body rubbing against his, the surrounding temperature rising higher and higher.
He is always assertive and proactive in bed, and rarely does he put in so much effort.
Xie Rongyue was exhausted and lay motionless on him.
Wang Hezhan raised an eyebrow and slapped her on the butt. "You want me to do it?"
"---"
She let out a soft gasp, her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and the moonlight streaming through the light gauze illuminated her smooth, jade-like skin, making it appear tender and supple.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her. He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, then fiercely sealed her lips with his.
Fearing that he might hurt her stomach with his rough handling, Xie Rongyue quickly softened her body, hooked her arms around his waist, and responded proactively.
It had been so long since I had been touched by her body that the moment I did, my whole body tensed up uncomfortably.
Wang Hezhan kissed her face, neck, and skin, caressing and kissing her inch by inch. His rough fingertips slid over her delicate flesh, making her back itch and tremble.
Should we go back to Yandu now?
Her voice was soft and gentle, and he unconsciously softened his tone as well.
"Come with me to Jiangzhou in a couple of days."
Xie Rongyue didn't care about his affairs, and asked again, "After returning to Yandu, can I stay at a villa in the suburbs instead of returning to your residence?"
Wang Hezhan frowned, and before she could say anything, she bit her lower lip in a wronged tone, her voice slightly hoarse.
"I don't want to go back to your residence."
"Was being a concubine a disservice to you?"
Xie Rongyue remained silent and motionless, burying her face in his shoulder and sobbing softly.
"Alright, stop crying."
He impatiently lifted her face and saw that her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful. He paused for a moment, then kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes and softened his tone.
"what ever."
---
When Pei Qing finished dressing and chased after him, he saw him standing at the back gate of the mansion, quietly watching the carriage disappear around the corner.
She raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and an idea came to her.
"ah---"
The scream of a woman falling behind them came from behind.
Lu Yu was startled and turned around, only to see the woman fall awkwardly beside the artificial hill and flower bushes. After recognizing her, he quickly went over to help her up.
"Miss Pei."
Pei Qing let out a soft cry of pain, and when she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Lu Yu saw the scratches on her hands by the moonlight, then quickly glanced at her legs and frowned.
"Is your foot alright?"
She sobbed, "It hurts a little~"
"I'm sorry for the offense."
After saying that, he lifted her leg, lifted her skirt, and gently massaged her ankle.
Pei Qing stared intently at his profile, the moonlight bathing his face, making his features appear as gentle as a celestial being.
She was so mesmerized that she didn't even notice the scratches on her wrists.
Does it hurt?
A gentle voice slowly rang out. She was startled, then came to her senses and said in a pitiful, delicate voice, "It hurts~"
No bones are broken, so why does it hurt?
Lu Yu was puzzled, but thought that the young girl was just a delicate person, so he lowered her skirt and said, "Then let's go back inside and apply some medicine."
He helped her to her feet, and she leaned against him, her body weak and boneless. As soon as he moved, she hissed in pain.
"Brother Lu Yu, can you carry me on your back?"
"---"
Lu Yu's face instantly became awkward when she was called "brother," and she squatted down.
Pei Qing clung to his neck, leaped onto his back, and laughed like a wildcat from an angle where he couldn't see her.
He walked steadily, the moon overhead shining on the two of them, casting a soft silver glow.
She smelled his scent, and by sheer coincidence, her full lips landed on his neck.
Lu Yu noticed it, his back stiffened, and his palms, which were holding her legs, involuntarily became sweaty.
"Why have you stopped?"
"No-nothing."
This was the first time Lu Yu had been so close to a woman, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable. Suddenly, scenes of the two of them in bed flashed through his mind, and he silently began reciting scriptures.
Seeing his serious expression, Pei Qing chuckled to herself.
Her voice was low, but he still heard it and remained silent.
Pei Qing had been practicing martial arts with her elder brother for many years, so her body wasn't the slender and supple type typical of a lady from a wealthy family. Instead, it was round and healthy, and when it clung to his body, it was extremely elastic.
Especially her ample bosom, the soft parts of her chest were pressed painfully against his shoulder blades, causing her to hiss.
"Can I hold you? It hurts a little."
Hearing her soft, aggrieved voice, Lu Yu didn't understand what she was saying. He frowned slightly, put her down, and picked her up in his arms.
The delicate fragrance of a young woman wafted towards him, but he remained unmoved, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
Pei Qing hooked her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Before she could do anything, she could feel his stiffness.
She was dissatisfied, but knowing his temperament, she could only restrain herself for the time being.
After returning to the house, Lu Yu found a medicine bottle for her and handed it to her.
"I'll go find a maid to help you."
She didn't sprain her ankle and didn't need to see a doctor. She just had a minor scrape on her wrist, which could be treated with some ointment.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was about to leave, but as soon as she moved, she suddenly stood up and threw herself into his arms, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed his lips.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment; his body stiffened, and he dared not move at all.
Pei Qing noticed his stiffness and took the opportunity to pry open his lips and tongue, clumsily and awkwardly entwining with him.
"Brother Lu Yu, stop liking her and marry me instead."
