Chapter 64 Ning'er, I want you to be my co-wife
Seeing that no one in the room answered, Pei Yanzhou hurriedly explained: "Ning'er, don't worry, I promised you that I would not enter your bedroom, and I will definitely abide by the rules!"
"A lot has happened in the past two days, and there have been many misunderstandings between us. I came here to reconsider our relationship."
He sighed and laughed at himself, "You don't know, I'm getting married to Chu Ruyan on the eighth day of next month..."
"But I didn't feel happy. My heart was in turmoil. When the time came, I realized that I didn't seem to care that much about Chu Ruyan. Instead, it was you..."
He hesitated, clearing his throat, not wanting to speak his mind. "Actually, I'd rather... never have broken off the engagement with you!"
After Pei Yanzhou finished speaking, he looked into the house cautiously.
There was clearly a shadow moving in the room, and he even heard the sound of the teacup lid hitting the cup, but Shen Yuning did not respond to him at all.
He knew that Ning'er was still angry with him and she must be jealous.
Pei Yanzhou's heart warmed up. He took a step forward and raised his voice, "Ning'er, I know you haven't slept yet, and I know you must be sad, but please listen to me and finish what I have to say—"
"We've been together for many years, and I know you have me in your heart... Considering you've been marching and fighting with me for so long, I... I can make you my equal wife!"
With a "bang", the sound of a teacup falling to the ground came from inside the house, as if the cup was broken.
Pei Yanzhou thought, maybe Ning'er was excited.
He simply blurted out his true feelings, "On the eighth day of next month, can you and Chu Ruyan marry into the Pei family together?"
"Don't worry. Although I've wronged you due to my status, I will definitely compensate you in other ways, such as betrothal gifts and..."
Pei Yanzhou's handsome face flushed. "On the wedding day, I can stay in your room first. When you have a child... I will make other plans."
He seemed to have no better idea.
As for Chu Ruyan, he thought about it carefully and it seemed that he had never had any physical fantasies about her from the beginning to the end. She was just a tool to him, someone who needed to be repaid.
With a "bang", there seemed to be a sound of a chair breaking in the house.
Pei Yanzhou gritted his teeth and quickly explained: "Yu Ning, Ning'er, I promise you, Ben Xiang's first time... will be yours!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet.
Then, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer. It was Ning'er coming, and she was walking towards him.
She was going to open the door and see herself.
Pei Yanzhou was delighted and quickly straightened his temples and collar, thinking: Ning'er is finally moved by me. I knew that the feelings of so many years could not change so easily.
Finally, the door creaked open.
The expected stunningly beautiful face did not appear, but was replaced by Xiao Yihan's handsome face that was evil, charming, and full of murderous aura.
"General Pei is so elegant! He just set a date for his wedding with Chu Ruyan, and he can't wait to ask for a co-wife?"
The corners of his mouth curled up in sarcasm. "What a man who has so many beauties, sitting here enjoying all the happiness. How could I have a cousin like you?"
"Pei Yanzhou, are you worthy of letting Ning'er be your equal wife?"
Pei Yanzhou's pupils shrank sharply and he took a step back: "Cousin, why is it you? Why did you appear in Ning'er's bedroom so late at night?"
He was surprised, but also felt a strong sense of jealousy.
It was the dead of night, a man and a woman alone. Could it be that he and Ning'er... were really together?
"Why can't I come? Tell me the reason." Xiao Yihan smiled wickedly. "Ning'er and I are both unmarried. We are in love and it's open and aboveboard. General Pei, do you have any objections?"
"Your humble servant dare not!" Pei Yanzhou's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "But what were you and Doctor Shen doing just now? Is... is my cousin's cold coming back?"
He deliberately mentioned Shen Yuning’s identity, implying that he was still her superior.
He deliberately used the excuse of being concerned about Xiao Yihan's condition to ask what he wanted to ask.
"What did I do that I need to explain to you?"
Xiao Yihan's face froze, clearly furious. But thinking of not affecting Shen Yuning's reputation, he patiently explained, "Don't worry, I and Ning'er aren't like you and Chu Ruyan—we've already had an affair. My little disciple and I are innocent!"
Pei Yanzhou looked embarrassed, but still argued: "Cousin, Chu Ruyan and I are actually clean and innocent."
"Even though I was poisoned by Chun Qiong, I didn't ask her for an antidote. I..."
He raised his voice, as if he wanted the people in the room to hear him.
"Shh, be quiet." Xiao Yihan said with a half-smile, "Ning'er just fell asleep, do you want to wake her up?"
"Ning'er fell asleep? Then what did I say just now...?"
Xiao Yihan nodded calmly, "She drank the tranquilizer. She didn't hear a word you said just now!"
Pei Yanzhou clenched his fists involuntarily. He thought that after he had mustered up the courage to say so much, his cousin was the only one who heard it?
Xiao Yihan closed the door and approached Pei Yanzhou step by step.
"What? After spending a few days with Chu Ruyan, you regretted it and want to go back to her?"
"Or did you always like Ning'er, but just realized it now? Hmm?"
Pei Yanzhou's eyes flashed, and he quickly looked aside, "No, I just feel sorry for Shen Yuning. It's impossible for me to fall in love with her."
Xiao Yihan's hawk-like eyes scanned Pei Yanzhou's face: "At this critical moment, your mouth is harder than a duck's."
He clearly likes Shen Yuning in his heart, but he refuses to admit it.
But it’s better this way. A man who is irresponsible doesn’t deserve her.
"If you don't really like her, why do you want to marry her?" Xiao Yihan sneered, "Could it be that General Pei is the kind of person who wants it all, and wants to be both powerful and powerful?"
"I..." Pei Yanzhou turned his head to the side, "Cousin, Ning'er and I have worked together for several years, so please don't say such harsh words."
He pinched his fingers and said boldly: "Cousin, Shen Yuning has an arrogant and domineering personality and is not suitable to enter the East Palace."
"Besides, she is used to being arrogant, so it is not suitable for her to be the mistress of another family."
"Instead of that, why not just follow me? I'll treat her well because she's my Xuanjia Battalion's doctor..."
"Bang——" A heavy punch hit Pei Yanzhou's face, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cousin, why did you hit me?"
"Do I have to choose a time to beat you?" Xiao Yi said coldly, "See if you're talking human language?"
Pei Yanzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was not angry, but begged: "Cousin, please stop interfering in the affairs between Ning'er and me. You...you don't have to have her."
Hearing this, Xiao Yihan's face darkened, and a chill spread throughout his body: "How do you know that I don't have to be with her?"
