Chapter 532 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 24
Junyu's kiss was urgent, yet it concealed a hint of suppressed anger.
It's like a punishment.
Jiang Zhiyi's lips were being caressed and rubbed by him, and even her breathing began to become disordered.
All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat.
She placed her hand on his chest, trying to push him away, but he pressed her down so she couldn't move at all.
"Mmm..." Jiang Zhiyi murmured indistinctly, "No more..."
These words sound like a rejection, but the sweet, coquettish tone and the ambiguous scene only made the man lose control even more.
If she hadn't said it, it would have been fine, but now that the words were out, she had no choice but to accept them.
"Don't let go, okay?" Jun Yu chuckled.
Jiang Zhiyi was furious.
That's not what she meant at all!
He's a complete scoundrel!
Realizing she had run out of strength and her struggles were fading, his kisses softened, becoming gentle and tender.
He carefully traced the outline of her lips.
After an unknown amount of time, Junyu finally stepped back slightly, though his nose was still brushing against her face, their breaths mingling.
Jiang Zhiyi's cheeks were flushed red, her lips were swollen and moist from the kiss, and she looked at him with a dazed expression.
Junyu adored her appearance.
He gazed at the tears in her eyes, in which his own reflection was clearly visible.
The usually calm and composed me was now somewhat moved, even my breath felt hot.
They were clearly two different people, yet they got married, became husband and wife, and became intimately entangled together, with their hearts and eyes only for each other.
My chest felt like it was filled to the brim with something, both sour and soft, a comforting feeling I had never experienced before.
"This is the last time," Jun Yu said suddenly, his voice hoarse.
Jiang Zhiyi was taken aback by his words and didn't quite understand what he meant.
She had a small guess in her mind—was he referring to her leaving home this morning?
However, before she could think it through, Jun Yu started pestering her again.
The room was instantly filled with the warmth of spring.
They tossed and turned like this for almost the entire night.
The next day.
When Jiang Zhiyi woke up, the person next to her was already empty.
She touched the cold mattress; it was completely devoid of warmth, suggesting that he had been gone for quite some time.
She got up and washed up.
Cuiyu brought in a basin of water and saw a faint blush on her face. Junyu had come out of this room again this morning, and she immediately understood what was going on.
She smiled and leaned closer.
"Miss, did you not sleep well last night? Did the young master keep you up again?"
Jiang Zhiyi glared at her, "What are you asking about?"
Cuiyu stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Actually, she heard some noise last night, and it was indeed absurd.
However, she had previously worried that the two were at odds and that it would affect their relationship. Now that they have reconciled, she is naturally happy for them.
"Miss, there's ginseng soup warming in the kitchenette, and we've also made your favorite dish..."
Cuiyu named several dishes.
The young master was quite thoughtful; he instructed the small kitchen to prepare everything Jiang Zhiyi liked early in the morning.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhiyi was sitting by the window reading when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
She frowned and told Cuiyu to go out and see what had happened.
A short while later, Cuiyu rushed back, her face pale.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! I heard... several of the Jun family's important cargo ships have run into trouble and have been hijacked!"
Jiang Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
She stood up. "What did you say? The cargo ship was hijacked?"
Cuiyu nodded. "Yes, I just heard people outside saying that quite a few people have died... Young Master is currently in the front hall, fuming."
This was the first time since entering the manor that Jun Yu had been so angry.
The construction of cargo ships is already labor-intensive and time-consuming, and daily maintenance is even more delicate work, requiring real money to be invested in every single aspect.
Such a laborious and time-consuming voyage would incur considerable costs and losses, not to mention the priceless cargo it carried...
This time, the Jun family will likely suffer heavy losses!
Jiang Zhiyi frowned and headed towards the front hall.
Cuiyu hesitated for a moment, "Miss, the young master is in a bad mood right now, we'd better not go over there..."
They don't understand these things and can't help. It would be bad if Junyu lost his temper and took it out on them.
Cuiyu had a vague intuition that it would be better for them to stay inside.
“Let’s go over there,” Jiang Zhiyi interrupted her.
“Yes, Miss.” Cuiyu had no choice but to follow.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the front hall, they heard Jun Yu's angry voice coming from inside.
"A bunch of useless idiots! They can't even handle this simple task! Didn't we tell them repeatedly? Do they even know how much stuff was inside? Now so many people have been injured. What do you suggest we do?"
Immediately following were the obsequious replies from the managers.
Jiang Zhiyi pushed open the door.
The people in the lobby were drawn to the sudden opening of the door and all looked towards the entrance.
Jun Yu also stopped scolding. When he saw Jiang Zhiyi standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment. The anger on his face subsided a little, but his expression was still unpleasant.
"Why are you here?" His voice was somewhat stiff.
Jiang Zhiyi walked to his side and said softly, "I heard something happened, so I came to check on it."
Her gaze swept over the managers present.
They all lowered their heads, their faces were pale, and they dared not breathe.
She turned her gaze to Junyu, her voice gentle: "Husband, getting angry now will not help. Since the managers have already admitted their mistake, why not let them take stock of the losses first..."
Junyu frowned.
He knew this principle, of course, but he was angry and needed to vent his anger.
"What are you still standing there for?" he shouted, his tone still carrying lingering anger, but he had softened his stance. "Do as the young mistress says. I want to see the detailed files by tomorrow."
The stewards, as if granted a pardon, bowed in unison and hurriedly left the front hall.
The door slowly closed, shutting out the oppressive atmosphere of the room, leaving only the two figures standing opposite each other.
Jiang Zhiyi walked to the table, looked at the map spread out on it, and lightly tapped her finger on the place names circled in red.
"This place is treacherous and has always been a popular location for bandits. Why would the Jun family's ship happen to pass by here? Didn't they know they should have avoided it?"
The supervisor sent out should have had many years of experience sailing, and it's impossible for him to make such a foolish mistake.
Junyu wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and spoke with a heavy weariness in his voice.
"Originally, the Jun family's ships planned to take the southern route, but the First Prince personally ordered them to change course to make way for the imperial court, saying that the court had important goods to transport..."
Jiang Zhiyi froze.
"He is involved in this matter, and it may have been intentional, aimed at the Jun family."
Junyu spoke close to her ear, his voice carrying a dangerous undertone.
"If what I say is true, then guess why he would do this?"
