Chapter 18 He approached, she avoided him.
He actually imagined so much just from looking at Ji Wanyuan's back, and even became somewhat agitated.
Could it be that she drugged him again?
The man's gaze sharpened at the thought of such a possibility.
Ji Wanyuan had already climbed in. As she lay on her side and slipped into the bedding, her undergarment was pulled up a little, revealing her fair and eye-catching waist.
The man staring at her naturally noticed, but his gaze was cold, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light.
Ji Wanyuan was startled when she met his gaze.
The two “tragic” sexual encounters left a deep impression on her, and the way Wen Qiyan looked at her before each encounter was still fresh in her memory.
So when Ji Wanyuan lay on her back and saw the man's cold, meaningful gaze, she instantly understood.
Has he been drugged again?
Why are you looking at her like that?
Ji Wanyuan was extremely nervous. She wanted to speak to ask questions and refuse, but she really didn't know what to say. Wen Qiyan's stare made her very scared.
For a moment, she couldn't catch her breath under his intense gaze, so she opened her mouth slightly to catch her breath.
Ji Wanyuan simply calmed her breathing.
Little did she know that her unadorned, nervous appearance was also quite alluring.
The young woman in Wen Qiyan's line of sight had her two delicate, fair hands nervously clutching the brocade quilt. Her round, clear eyes, like pearls and jade, were not only staring at him intently, but her eyelashes were also trembling as delicately beautiful as butterfly wings.
She even slightly parted her full, moist lips, revealing a soft, bright red tongue inside, like a small carp leaping about.
For the first time in his life, Wen Qiyan felt that his eyesight was excellent. The candles in the inner room had been extinguished, leaving only one, and the curtains of the canopy were mostly lowered.
Even in such a blurry and unclear situation, he could still see clearly.
What's she panting for? Is she trying to seduce him?
Just moments ago, he had put aside those alluring memories of watching her climb onto the bed and her beautiful waist and hips outlined. Now, as Ji Wanyuan turned around, revealing her face and looking at her lips, he suddenly thought of kissing her again.
It's sweet, but not cloying.
The soft fragrance is very alluring.
He actually wanted to lean down, pinch her face, and kiss her.
He even considered what would happen next: if she played hard to get again, he could simply use some force, pinching her cheeks with his thumb and forefinger, to open her small mouth and then penetrate her directly.
Thinking of this, he not only felt a surge of emotion, but even his breathing became warmer.
Ji Wanyuan must have drugged him again.
The dosage this time was much smaller than the previous two times? And the onset time was a bit slower?
Otherwise, why would he want to be intimate with her just by looking at her?
"..."
The woman being stared at didn't dare say a word, and didn't even dare to breathe.
Because the tall man standing in front of the bed was like a small mountain, he was surrounded by the reflected candlelight, and his whole body was bathed in a halo of light.
His expression was hidden in the dim light, and his eyes grew increasingly deep.
Waaah... that's scary.
Could he have fallen for it again? Otherwise, why is he staring at her like that, as if he wants to devour her?
But she checked everything carefully, and there was nothing there at all.
What should we do? Who is trying to harm her?
Ji Wanyuan was panicking, thinking, what if... what should I do?
The finger marks on her chest, waist, and buttocks haven't completely disappeared yet.
The marks on her wrists were invisible because she was wearing a bracelet and had applied some makeup to cover them up.
After thinking it over, why not just pretend to be sick?
If Wen Qiyan tries to have sex with her again, she should just pretend she has a stomachache, right? It's a bit embarrassing, but it's better than being at his mercy, isn't it?
But to her surprise, the man looked at her, then suddenly closed his eyes, as if taking a deep breath, and then... he actually walked away.
They...left?
The shadow in front of me disappeared.
It took Ji Wanyuan quite a while after the person left before she came to her senses.
Why did he leave?
Unsure if they were really gone, Ji Wanyuan got up to check.
Emerald ran in, "Miss...why did the young master leave?"
"Really gone?" Ji Wanyuan asked, frowning.
Emerald nodded emphatically and said, "He left the courtyard and it looks like he went to the side room in the guest courtyard."
Ji Wanyuan frowned, pondering Wen Qiyan's unusual behavior, and confirmed again, "Did he go to the guest room?"
"right."
Emerald looked at Ji Wanyuan's profile and couldn't help but feel anxious for her. Seeing her "deeply in thought" reaction, she thought she was sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
After all, their young lady had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time, hoping to be able to share a room with her son-in-law.
The lamps were already turned off and everyone was about to rest. At the last minute, the son-in-law left with a gloomy face and an inscrutable expression.
Ji Wanyuan waited for a while, but Wen Qiyan didn't return. To prevent any mistakes, she asked Emerald to check again and confirmed that he was already there and wouldn't be coming back.
Although she didn't know why, Ji Wanyuan was very happy.
After Emerald sighed and said "Miss" on her behalf,
Ji Wanyuan quickly turned her back, climbed onto the bed, pulled the covers over her eyes, and closed them.
"Let's take a break!"
She was excited, but others didn't understand.
The news quickly reached Mrs. Wen's ears the next day.
Madam Wen was shocked, "Qi Yan left in the middle of the night?"
The old woman recounted in detail the news she had heard from the maid.
Aunt Jiang, who was standing nearby, naturally heard this as well, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
She secretly thought to herself that the time it would take for the Cao family girl to enter the Wen family was going to be shortened again.
"Qi Yan is really something!" Madam Wen, no longer caring that Aunt Jiang was still there, immediately began to scold, "You should be accompanying Ji Wanyuan back to her parents' home today. Even if you hate her terribly, you shouldn't leave at this crucial moment!"
Given Ji Wanyuan's spoiled and intolerant nature, being treated with such disrespect, although she didn't make a scene in the middle of the night, she'll probably go back and exaggerate her story to Madam Ji.
Thinking of Madam Ji's sharp and difficult nature, Madam Wen couldn't help but rub her forehead. "Go, go and call Qi Yan here."
"He's such a worry!"
After the old woman left, Aunt Jiang comforted Madam Wen, telling her not to be angry, that it was a small matter, and that the person hadn't returned yet, so she should properly appease Ji Wanyuan.
When Wen Qiyan arrived, Lord Wen also came from his study. Aunt Jiang wisely left to check on breakfast and did not stay to listen to the couple scolding their son.
Madam Wen berated him, demanding to know what he was thinking. Was he trying to embarrass Ji Wanyuan on the day of her homecoming because he found the house too quiet?
"Aren't you afraid the Ji family will cause trouble?"
Wen Qiyan remained silent.
Although Wen's father didn't say anything, his eyes clearly showed his disapproval.
The question he conveyed to Wen Qiyan through his eyes was more profound than the possible accountability that Madam Wen spoke of regarding the Ji family; it was the imperial edict issued by the court.
Wen Qiyan remained silent.
He suspected he had been drugged yesterday and, fearing he might get angry and punish her again, he left.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the courtyard and arriving at the guest room, after half an incense stick's time had passed and Ji Wanyuan was no longer in sight, the heat in his body gradually disappeared.
Without seeing her, I couldn't recall those romantic thoughts anymore; those alluring ideas never crossed my mind again, and I even felt a strange emptiness...
She didn't drug him, which means the effects of the drug from a few days ago haven't completely worn off.
After all, the drugs Ji Wanyuan gave him each time were very strong, even the kind of aphrodisiacs that could knock out livestock. The doctor said the drugs were potent, and he would experience pain afterward and occasionally think of intimate moments with her.
It seems that it will take some time to completely forget about it.
But these are things that are hard to say.
So he accepted his parents' accusations, saying, "It's all my fault."
And he assured that "it will not happen again in the future."
Before Wen's mother could start scolding again, Wen's father cut her off, saying, "Alright, let's leave it at that."
“Qi Yan, remember what you said to your father and mother today.”
He added meaningfully, "This marriage between the Ji and Wen families was not easy to arrange. You need to keep the Ji family in mind at all times. Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least consider the Buddha."
As for which Buddha it is, only the father and son know.
"Hmm." The handsome and refined man lowered his long eyelashes and said, "Son understands."
"..."
Before leaving, Madam Wen not only scolded Wen Qiyan, but more importantly, she also comforted Ji Wanyuan separately.
He said that Wen Qiyan was being unreasonable and that he had already scolded him. He also promised that it wouldn't happen again and asked Ji Wanyuan not to be angry.
Fearing that Ji Wanyuan might not understand his veiled words, he simply told her to go home and not tell Madam Wen these things, so as not to cause discord between the two families and make her a laughing stock in front of outsiders.
As they were talking, he took a bracelet with excellent water content and color and put it on Ji Wanyuan's wrist, telling her to wear it and play with it.
After saying that, he carefully observed her reaction.
Ji Wanyuan looked down at the bracelet that Madam Wen had given her. She didn't hold a grudge, because even if Madam Wen didn't say anything, she didn't plan to complain. She didn't want to sleep with Wen Qiyan in the first place.
The reason he was slightly frowning was because Madam Wen said that Wen Qiyan guaranteed there would be no next time.
There won't be a next time, which means I still have to sleep with her?
Therefore, she pondered this matter deeply.
Madam Wen, unaware of her inner thoughts, assumed she was dissatisfied and led her outside, behind the screen.
She gave Wen Qiyan, who was waiting outside, a look, signaling him to say something nice to Ji Wanyuan to coax her.
Ji Wanyuan met the man's cold gaze, subconsciously pursed her lips, and glanced away.
Seeing this, Wen Qiyan also assumed she was angry.
Thinking of Wen's father's other instructions.
He got up.
He walked up to Ji Wanyuan.
As the man approached, his body enveloped her, getting quite close. Ji Wanyuan instinctively felt afraid, not only avoiding his gaze but also lowering her head to avoid the man's gaze.
She hasn't forgotten how he stared at her yesterday!
It looks like it's going to eat people! Terrifying.
From Wen Qiyan's angle, he could see the girl's fair, white nape.
He had been glancing at it casually, but suddenly his gaze stopped.
The person in front of me had all her black hair tied up, and her skirt collar was not pulled up properly.
A blooming red plum blossom was faintly visible on the back of her neck.
Such marks could not possibly have been made by Ji Wanyuan; it could only have been done by him.
then……
When was it done?
Which time? And what position?
How did it end up here?
