Chapter 155 The King Likes You
Pei Jing pinched her face and turned it towards him, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm pretending to be crazy, and you're pretending to be stupid. Aren't we a perfect match?"
"How am I acting stupid?" Jiang Fei said in a low voice with a guilty conscience.
Just as he was about to start, Pei Jing turned him back, "Jiang Rufei, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You clearly know what I am thinking, but you pretend not to understand."
Jiang Fei's jaw was pinched by him, and her words were a little slurred: "I...what do I know?"
Pei Jing sneered and suddenly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath spraying on her sensitive earlobe.
"You know that this king likes you."
Jiang Fei's whole body stiffened and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that the straightforward confession would come at such a moment.
Pei Jing's voice continued in his ears: "You know all this, but you insist on getting entangled with Wei Mingzhen. You move freely between the two men with ease. It's fun to see us being manipulated by you, isn't it?"
Jiang Fei subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Pei Jing held her waist tightly.
God, she is not Aquaman, nor a master of time management. She is forced to do this because of the mission. Who can understand the bitterness of her being caught between two men?
"Speak!" Pei Jing said.
Jiang Fei: "I don't have any."
"Explain clearly to this prince, otherwise..." He held her waist tightly, "You came back on your own, don't even think about leaving this room today."
How could Jiang Fei explain this? If she said something about a system task or time travel, Pei Jing would probably think she was even crazier than him.
"I must go to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion today and explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, they will easily believe Wei Ciying's one-sided story."
Pei Jing had a gloomy face and his lips were pressed into a line.
He was telling her that he liked her, and she was saying some nonsense?
Jiang Fei was completely oblivious. She counted on her fingers and analyzed carefully: "Wei Ciying is too scheming, and she has Wei Mingzhen to help her. I have to go and test her. If she complains to Wei Mingzhen that I deliberately didn't help her cover up, then all my previous plans will be in vain. Also, I suspect she..."
"Jiang Rufei." Pei Jing suddenly interrupted her.
"Ah?" Jiang Fei only then noticed his ugly expression. "What's wrong?"
Pei Jing grabbed her by the back of the neck and forced her closer, their noses almost touching. "Did you not hear a single word I just said?"
Jiang Fei finally reacted and stammered, "I heard it."
"What did the king say?"
"That's...that...you like me." Jiang Fei's cheeks flushed.
"Then what?"
Jiang Fei's eyes wandered, "Then, then I just wanted to finish the important things first."
Pei Jing was so angry that his temples were throbbing. "Business? When you said that I liked you, all you could think about was Wei Mingzhen?"
"No!" Jiang Fei shifted her seat. "I'm afraid Wei Ciying will do something bad! If she complains first, Wei Mingzhen will definitely believe her and not me. Then I..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Jing suddenly leaned over. Jiang Fei had already noticed something wrong in his eyes and quickly covered his mouth.
"That's enough. We've already been kissing for so long today."
Pei Jing's Adam's apple rolled, and he closed his eyes, suppressing his anger and restlessness.
Opening his eyes again, Pei Jing exhaled, "What exactly are you planning? Tell me, I can help you."
Jiang Fei moved her lips, but didn't utter a word.
Pei Jing frowned. "Who are you planning to kill?"
"Why not kill him now? Can we wait until next year?"
Pei Jing's frown deepened. "What on earth are you talking about?"
Jiang Fei thought that her life was really difficult, as she was deceived by that rubbish system.
System: "I can hear this."
"That's what I'm telling you." Jiang Fei said to the system, "What kind of crappy mission did you assign me? Others only need to capture one person, but I need to control everything. And then I have to face a rebirth. Are you really determined not to let me complete the mission?"
"Host, this just shows how exceptionally capable you are!" the system flattered. "How could ordinary tasks be worthy of a master like you?"
Jiang Fei rolled her eyes inwardly: "Stop it! What should I do now? Pei Jing is almost eating me alive!"
The system suddenly said seriously: "It has been detected that Pei Jing's emotions are fluctuating violently. It is recommended to comfort him immediately!"
Only then did Jiang Fei realize that Pei Jing's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
"How dare you be distracted while talking to this prince?"
"No, no, no, I'm just thinking about how to explain it to you."
Jiang Fei thought to herself, “Now I just want to be a matchmaker, to make the hero and heroine in the book together, and to let the characters in the book reach their respective original endings, those who should get married will get married, and those who should die will die.”
She couldn't tell anyone that she had to marry Wei Mingzhen, nor could she tell anyone that she wanted Pei Jing to kill her entire family. After thinking about it, there was only one thing she could say.
"My current wish is to be a matchmaker and bring Jiang Linyuan and Wei Ciying together."
What kind of weird wish is this?
Pei Jing's expression froze for a moment, and then his brows furrowed even tighter: "Say it again?"
Jiang Fei gritted her teeth and explained, "I just think Jiang Linyuan and Wei Ciying are a good match, and I want to bring them together."
"Heh." Pei Jing sneered, tightening his grip on her waist. "Jiang Rufei, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? You're so rude just to see Wei Mingzhen?"
"Really?" Jiang Fei was in tears. Why did no one believe her when she told the truth?
"Do you have to go today?"
Jiang Fei nodded, "That's right."
Pei Jing loosened his grip on her and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Fei got up from his lap, "Really?"
Just after taking a few steps, Pei Jing said coldly: "If you leave, don't come back."
Such a familiar line, but this doesn’t seem to be her home.
Jiang Fei turned around and saw Pei Jing sitting there with a gloomy face, twisting his fingers unconsciously.
"You said it!" Jiang Fei suddenly raised her chin, turned around and ran out the door, "Then I'm really leaving!"
"Jiang Rufei!" Pei Jing stood up suddenly, knocking the table to the ground. "How dare you—"
The only response he got was the sound of a door closing with a bang.
Pei Jing stood there, his face gloomy and uncertain.
Duan Jiu cautiously poked his head in: "Your Highness, do you want to... chase her?"
"What are you chasing?"
Pei Jing kicked over the table, and the tea set shattered all over the floor. He strode to the window and just saw Jiang Fei running out of the courtyard gate with her skirt lifted up.
The heartless little thing ran away so fast without even looking back.
"Good, very good." Pei Jing's chest heaved with anger. "Duan Jiu!"
"I'm here."
"Go throw away all her favorite preserves!"
Duan Jiu: "Your Majesty, that candied fruit was specially bought from Tongqu..."
"Throw it away!"
"yes……"
"Wait." Pei Jing stopped him again, "Melt the jade headpiece I ordered for her!"
Duan Jiu gritted his teeth and agreed. Just as he was about to leave, Pei Jing added, "And burn that new fox fur coat too!"
"……yes."
Duan Jiu retreated in response, but before he even walked out of the courtyard, he heard another voice: "Wait."
Duan Jiu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else you want to burn?"
Pei Jing turned his back and didn't look at Duan Jiu. "I will make it myself."
"Then I'll bring you the brazier."
"I am not in the mood to burn today."
Duan Jiu: “…”
Well, he just couldn't bear to burn it. Fortunately, he didn't run so fast, otherwise if it really burned, the prince would probably hunt him down.
