In Chapter 11, during their tender moments, she deserved the best of everything in the world. ...
Meng Yu once heard a saying: When facing someone who is a hundred or a thousand times stronger than you, a head-on confrontation is never the best strategy. The only thing you can do is to penetrate the deepest part of their heart, bewitch them, and entice them, so that they believe they have already captured you.
That's how she feels about Lu Xiuyi now.
***
A large, warm hand, slightly cool, gently patted her back. Meng Yu didn't know how much pity was in his palm, but she was certain of the tenderness within it.
She cried for a long time, and just before Lu Xiuyi's patience was about to run out, she stopped crying at the right moment, suppressed her inner anxiety, and left his embrace.
Meng Yu wiped away her tears and wrote down what she had prepared all night: "Please don't blame Mother, Father. Although we are from a humble family, we have very strict family rules. Mother just couldn't accept this fact for a moment, which is why she lost her composure."
After writing it down, Meng Yu handed it to Lu Xiuyi to see, looking at him with teary eyes.
She knew her face was beautiful; even without makeup, her natural beauty was undeniable. She figured Lu Xiuyi's attraction to her was solely due to the trouble of that day. Since there was no turning back, she decided to recreate that scene to give herself a chance for the future.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, like pear blossoms in the rain, perfectly fulfilling Lu Xiuyi's protective instincts.
As expected, Lu Xiuyi softened upon seeing her like this, raised his hand to gently stroke her face, and said softly, "I know, I will not blame your mother."
Meng Yu smiled gently and immediately lowered her head to write: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Master. It is my greatest fortune to have won your favor, and I will certainly not let you down. However, could you grant me one request?"
As she wrote, Lu Xiuyi read on. Suddenly, he saw the words "not failing" and his heart stirred slightly. Before she could even look up and hand him the notebook, he said without thinking, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do as you say."
Meng Yu paused for a moment, then raised her head and smiled at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Seeing the tenderness in Lu Xiuyi's gaze, she lowered her eyes and wrote, "This servant knows the heart of the master towards this servant, and also understands the good intentions of the mother. Her objection to this servant following the master is only because she worries that as a concubine, this servant will suffer in the future after entering the Marquis's mansion. But if the day the master marries this servant is glorious, with ten miles of red bridal procession, so that the whole city knows the heart of the master towards this servant, then the mother will definitely not object anymore."
Lu Xiuyi laughed loudly, "What's so difficult about that?"
Meng Yu blinked, writing in disbelief, "But, but I'm a concubine, can I really get married in such a grand and glorious way?"
Her blinking revealed a rare innocence and cuteness that melted Lu Xiuyi's heart. He raised his hand and gently patted the top of her head, saying softly, "Since you are the one I chose, in my eyes you deserve the best things in the world."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, her head suddenly throbbed, and her mental defenses seemed to crumble under his words.
Whether in her past life or this one, she was surrounded by people who suppressed her, and the words that always echoed in her ears were, "Are you worthy?", "Is this something you should have taken?", "What kind of person wears what kind of earrings?", "You're just a country bumpkin, how dare you compete with me?"
No one has ever said that she deserves the best things in the world.
However, in the blink of an eye, Meng Yu suddenly came to her senses, and the defenses in her heart were reinforced again and again.
If she has to obtain a sense of superiority from others, then she is no different from a piece of duckweed on the sea. When the towering waves come, the deep sea will become a grave from which she can never rise again.
She deserves the best things in the world.
She should say these words herself.
"I've already agreed to your request, so why are you still frowning like this?"
As she pondered, Lu Xiuyi's slightly displeased voice suddenly came from above. Meng Yu snapped back to reality, composed herself, clenched the hem of her clothes, and hesitated for a long time with a flushed face before lowering her head and writing: "This servant is thinking that my family has always valued the chastity of women. Even if Master agrees to this matter, I'm afraid Mother will not allow this servant to have sex with Master before marriage..."
The ink slowly seeped onto the snow-white paper. Meng Yu didn't dare to write down the last few words because a heavy sense of oppression was coming over her. Even without looking up, she could clearly feel that Lu Xiuyi's face must be as black as ink at this moment.
Indeed, when a piece of meat that he had been craving for a long time was finally in his mouth, but he could see it but not eat it, how could he not have a sullen face?
But she went to great lengths to put on such a grand show, laying so much groundwork, and this was her ultimate goal. No matter how unwilling Lu Xiuyi was, she wouldn't give up until she achieved her objective.
***
Things progressed more smoothly than Lu Xiuyi had imagined. He had prepared a whole basket of threatening words but couldn't utter a single one. Now, upon suddenly hearing Meng Yu's request, he immediately returned to calm from his state of ecstasy and carefully examined every expression on her face.
Upon reflection, he suddenly recalled how stubborn she had been when faced with immense wealth not long ago. How could she possibly change her mind so easily now? Moreover, she not only disobeyed her mother but also showed a determination to overcome all difficulties to be with him.
A dangerous aura slowly spread around her, like an impenetrable net closing in on her from all directions.
In a moment of quick thinking, Meng Yu suddenly raised her head and leaned against him.
A kiss, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, landed suddenly on Lu Xiuyi's lips, catching him completely off guard. The deep breath that had been rising within him vanished in an instant.
He paused for a few moments, feeling the lingering warmth from her lips spreading throughout his body like wildfire, making him so aroused that he could no longer control himself. Suddenly, he climbed onto her shoulders and pressed her onto the bed.
Meng Yu trembled slightly, but did not push him away. The murmurs that she didn't have time to utter were all swallowed between their lips.
She even...
She even tried to respond to Lu Xiuyi.
Her kisses were clumsy, shy, and lacked skill.
Lu Xiuyi was too cunning and too meticulous. When Meng Yu said those words, he had already anticipated Lu Xiuyi's reaction.
Her response at this moment was nothing more than a cover-up; if she were to show rejection or disgust at that moment, all her previous plans would be in vain.
She was gambling that Lu Xiuyi would eventually do as she said.
***
After a long struggle, the man, panting, finally and reluctantly let her go.
Lu Xiuyi lowered his head, his hawk-like gaze fixed on the person beneath him. Her face was as red as a ripe cherry, the blush spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. Her butterfly-like eyelashes drooped down, obscuring her watery, shimmering eyes.
The scent of cedarwood from the man filled her nostrils. Meng Yu closed her eyes nervously for a moment, and only after the delicate kisses stopped did she dare to slowly open them.
Lu Xiuyi's eyes, full of passion and desire, suddenly met hers. She was startled, but in a moment, she reacted and gently raised her hand to kiss his neck.
Her kisses were haphazard, pressing against Lu Xiuyi's chest, yet they repeatedly aroused his desire.
The embarrassing voice rang in her ears, and Meng Yu responded with trepidation.
Feeling that slight rubbing, she shuddered with nausea.
The man's palm was burning hot, making her feel hot all over. Meng Yu suppressed the urge to resist, pinched her thigh hard, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
Lu Xiuyi was closed-eyed, immersed in the sweetness that touched his heart, when suddenly a salty drop of water entered his mouth. He quickly opened his eyes and saw tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
He raised his hand and gently wiped it away, his voice becoming low and hoarse: "What's wrong?"
Asking a question you already know the answer to.
Meng Yu opened her eyes, shook her head, and sobbed, "This servant is just scared. But Mother said that the first time is always very painful."
Fearing that Lu Xiuyi might forget what she had said, Meng Yu deliberately mentioned Aunt Shen.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, her brows were slightly lowered, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and her expression of endearment was perfectly portrayed.
Upon hearing the name "Aunt Chen," Lu Xiuyi was suddenly reminded of her shrewish appearance just moments before, and the lust that had gripped his body instantly vanished.
Looking at the tearful face below, he felt somewhat disheartened, yet also felt a pang of pity. He had no choice but to stop and simply turn over and lie down next to her.
Anyway, she couldn't escape, and a woman's chastity is of utmost importance. Judging from her behavior in front of everyone just now, she is already his woman on the surface.
He's not in a hurry.
There is ample time.
***
He suddenly stopped moving, and Meng Yu was overjoyed, but she dared not show any joy. She just turned her head to look at him, showing a surprised look, with a hint of grievance in her expression.
She sat up and took out paper and pen.
"Does Master dislike this servant?"
Lu Xiuyi looked up and saw that her brows were slightly furrowed, she was holding back tears, her lips were red without any makeup, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pouted, as if she was holding a great grievance.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xiuyi was in a great mood, and even the slight irritation that had just risen up disappeared. He took her paper and pen and threw them onto the small wooden table by the couch, then gently pulled her into his arms by her hand.
“Since your mother doesn’t like you doing this with me before your marriage, I won’t force you. But you should know that it’s not because I’m afraid of her, it’s for your sake.”
After a long pause, the person in his arms still didn't react. Lu Xiuyi lowered his head and raised his voice slightly: "Did you hear that? Hmm?"
Meng Yu still did not react. Lu Xiuyi was about to reach out and lift her head when, before his hand even touched her chin, she suddenly stretched out her hands and hugged his waist, burying her head tightly in his chest and nodding heavily.
Lu Xiuyi smiled.
She was holding him too tightly, and he was about to ask her to loosen her grip so he could catch his breath.
Unexpectedly, he felt a dampness on his chest, followed by soft sobs that rose from below into his ears. She seemed to be trying her best to suppress them, but she couldn't hold back at all.
He paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, then a beautiful smile curved his lips, radiating gentle charm.
Lu Xiuyi raised his hand and gently stroked her back, comforting her softly: "I truly want you, so naturally I won't let you become the target of everyone's criticism. I understand that you love your mother, so I'm willing to endure this for more than two months for your sake."
