Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Longing for him to kiss her again.
Zhu Yinluan's thoughts were deep and her movements became a little slower.
After the carriage started moving, Shen Jingzhan asked her what she was thinking about.
Zhu Yinluan was still in a trance, her eyes fixed on Shen Jingzhan's face, staring at him for a long time unintentionally.
It was the man's deep eyes that slowly brought her back to her senses.
Every time she made eye contact with Shen Jingzhan, she would always be the first to give in. In this world, there should be very few people who could withstand Shen Jingzhan's gaze. Zhu Yinluan no longer knew what to say.
But this time she decided not to keep silent and told Shen Jingzhan that she had had many dreams.
"What dream?" The person driving the carriage was Shen Jingzhan's capable follower. The carriage was traveling through the streets of the capital without any bumps.
Shen Jingzhan poured Zhu Yinluan a cup of her favorite dew water, and Zhu Yinluan took it with both hands.
After taking a sip, she slowly told him about her dream, "When I was in the Wei family, I often had this dream."
"At first I thought it was just an ordinary dream. The man in the dream..."
She thought it was Wei Ruzhuo, but gradually, the difference was too obvious. Wei Ruzhuo was not as tall as the man in her dream, and his chest was not as big as Wei Ruzhuo's.
Later, when she realized that it was not Wei Ruzhuo, she thought that she had such a dream because she really wanted a child.
But I didn’t expect that I would have the same dream about “that man” again and again.
She couldn't tell anyone and could only keep it in her heart. Now that she told it to Shen Jingzhan, she actually felt relieved.
"Why did Luan'er think it was me?"
"Before you told me these things, I...every time I got close to you, I always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart."
The man leaned back slightly, supporting his head with his hands, and looked at her with his head tilted, with a wanton and lazy look, less cold and more seductive.
Zhu Yinluan looked at his "harmful behavior to the country and the people" and shifted her gaze slightly away, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with the rim of the lamp.
"So this is why Luan'er and I are avoiding each other?"
He was still smiling, just a slight smile, but Zhu Yinluan felt itchy.
It's really no wonder that so many noble ladies in the capital city fell for Shen Jingzhan one after another.
Even if he had no money or power and lived outside, he would surely attract many noble ladies to fight for him.
"Distracted again?" He waited for a while, but didn't hear her answer. He raised his hand and pinched her chin, shaking it slightly.
Zhu Yinluan coughed lightly, brushed his hand away, and looked away.
The man's eyes always followed her profile.
Looking at her avoiding him, she pretended to be nothing but with a hint of shyness.
Even though she was pregnant and had had countless intimate times, she was always like an unmarried girl. If he looked at her for too long, her face would turn red after a few glances. If he looked at her a little more excessively, she would raise her hand to hit him.
But if it was a fight, she hadn't done it since the last time, and none of the items in the inner room had been used.
The tips of Zhu Yinluan's ears turned slightly red, and she began to bite her lips subconsciously when she became nervous.
"I wasn't distracted..." Zhu Yinluan said after a while.
She looked so adorable when she was being serious. Shen Jingzhan wanted to kiss her fair face, but he was afraid that she would be angry, so he refused to continue.
After all, today she had finally managed to resolve some of the rift between them and was willing to open her heart to him.
He cannot be impatient for quick success, and even if he wants to press for more, this is not the time.
"Well, Luan'er is not distracted, please continue."
Zhu Yinluan thought back to where they were talking about, and remembered what Shen Jingzhan said, and she asked back, "Have I been avoiding you?"
At that time, she was still a wife of the Wei family, Shen Jingzhan was a stranger, and his reputation was so great that he was well-known in the capital, so naturally she had to keep her distance from him.
But it’s not to the point where we can’t avoid it, right?
At most it's to avoid suspicion.
However, Shen Jingzhan told her with certainty that there was, "Luan'er's avoidance of me is like a flood or a beast."
This sentence sounded somewhat familiar. Shen Jingzhan had said this before, right?
"In the Chubingzhai, I saved Luan'er. As soon as you stood firm, you immediately distanced yourself from me, not even daring to raise your head."
Although her head was not raised, a faint pink hue of shyness could be seen on the sides of her neck and ears.
"I also want to ask, did Luan'er know it was me at that time?"
Zhu Yinluan went back to a long time ago, when she and Shen Jingzhan met in Chubingzhai. At that time, she did not see Shen Jingzhan, but... she also felt that he was familiar.
Later, someone around him said something about the prince, and she was shocked to realize that this person was Shen Jingzhan.
At this point, Zhu Yinluan's thoughts changed and he answered the question irrelevantly, "What about you?"
"You deliberately met me by chance. At that time, did you... intentionally let me recall those..."
He smiled and didn't respond.
Zhu Yinluan turned around and glanced at him.
Their eyes met, and Shen Jingzhan stood up slightly and moved a little towards her.
Zhu Yinluan sensed the danger and retreated, but Shen Jingzhan continued to chase after her.
She put down the teacup and placed it on the small table between them, using it to separate them.
She was nervous and thought that Shen Jingzhan would take the teacup on the edge of the table, approach her and trap her in a corner, but she didn't expect that this time he would stop and stay not far away.
When he looked at her like this, Zhu Yinluan always had a bad feeling, and soon she knew why she had such thoughts.
Because Shen Jingzhan asked directly, "What do you think, Luan'er?"
"I don't know. Your thoughts are so complicated, how can I guess what you are thinking?"
"How could she not guess it? Luan'er was able to solve the situation I had set up for several years. Princess Feng'an had been investigating for a long time, but Luan'er figured it out on her own without any human intervention. How could she not guess it?"
"So is it true?" She didn't fall into the verbal trap set by the man.
After a long time, Shen Jingzhan also told her directly, "No."
"I didn't know Luan'er was dreaming and even started to remember what happened in the past."
"Does everything in the dream really exist?" This is what she wanted to ask.
Shen Jingzhan obviously heard it too. He chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "It's both true and false."
"Which part is true? Which part is false?"
"Luan'er, guess what?" He refused to say anything again.
Zhu Yinluan looked at him for a while, but he still didn't want to say anything. Just as she looked away, Shen Jingzhan opened his mouth and asked, "So when we were at the Wei family, Luan'er had feelings for me?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yinluan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. What did it mean that when she was at the Wei family, she couldn't help but have thoughts about him...
Having said that, at that time she actually... did have some doubts and confusion. After all, she later realized that the person in the dream was not Wei Ruzhuo, but she still kept having that kind of dream.
I still remember that I was very confused at that time. She was wondering if it was because of the incident between Wei Ruzhuo and her elder sister that she had the idea of going astray?
But this thought didn't last long before I was scared away.
Later...she said it was just a coincidence and she didn't quite believe it.
Anyway, she and Shen Jingzhan had already revealed their cards, and she also wanted to change the subject, fearing that Shen Jingzhan would continue to talk in such a lingering way.
Zhu Yinluan asked, "When my stepmother came to me to ask for a dowry, did you instruct those hooligans?"
"No." Shen Jingzhan told her that he did know about this matter, but he did not instigate Madam Zhu to do so.
"Later, in the government office, Mr. Xing—"
Before Zhu Yinluan finished speaking, Shen Jingzhan interrupted her and explained to her seriously that he did not go along with Lord Xing.
"but..."
"But what?" Zhu Yinluan stared at the expression on his face, trying to find the loophole between his expression and words.
It was a pity that after looking at him for a long time, apart from his handsomeness, she could not see the expression on the man's face that she had imagined she would see.
"But it is true that I took advantage of Luan'er's weakness."
He helped her when she was desperate and tricked her into marrying him.
It can indeed be said that he took advantage of someone's misfortune and took advantage of the opportunity.
But Zhu Yinluan didn't know what was wrong with her. How could she talk about these things with Chen Jingzhan calmly?
She herself was wondering why she didn't mind or was no longer angry?
Maybe I know that it's useless to worry or get angry.
Being angry is harmful to your health and it won’t change anything.
The important thing is to sort out her thoughts. She can't divorce Shen Jingzhan.
"I've told you almost everything Luan'er wants to know. What about what I want to know?"
"What?" She looked at him.
"When I was at the Wei family, Luan'er didn't treat me at all—"
Before Shen Jingzhan finished speaking, Zhu Yinluan immediately made up her mind and said firmly, "No."
"You are so sure, it's as if you are angry because I said it right." Shen Jingzhan was actually choking her.
Zhu Yinluan puffed up her cheeks, looking a little annoyed, "Do you think everyone is as obsessed with plotting against a married woman as you are?"
Shen Jingzhan was not angry after hearing this, he even smiled, "Luan'er, you are wrong. I only care about you, not others."
Zhu Yinluan's counterattack seemed to hit cotton, "......"
Seeing this, Shen Jingzhan laughed even more quietly, and Zhu Yinluan turned his back in a huff.
But in the corner where the man couldn't see, a hint of relaxed joy flashed across her brows.
But on the Meng family's side, two people from Madam Shen did not come, and coupled with Shen Jingzhan's attitude that day, Madam Meng had some concerns in her heart, and this marriage might not be successful.
But he was unwilling to accept this, after all, the Shen family was so prestigious.
He was just about to take Meng Yun to the Shen family's door with Lord Meng, but he didn't expect that someone from the Shen family would come.
He brought so many things with him, and any one of them would be valuable.
If he said he came to propose marriage, he didn't bring a matchmaker.
Bad thoughts emerged in Mrs. Meng's mind.
I'm afraid this marriage that's already been decided is going to fall through, otherwise why didn't you bring a matchmaker?
Unexpectedly, his words came true. Lord Shen did not beat around the bush when he spoke. After sitting down, he made his purpose clear in a few words and said frankly that they were not destined to be in-laws.
Madam Meng couldn't stop feeling regretful, but she didn't know what to do. Then Madam Shen said she wanted to adopt Meng Yun as her adopted daughter.
In an instant, Mrs. Meng was overjoyed again, and the previous ridicule was swept away. Although the Meng family and the Shen family could not become a marriage, if Meng Yun became the adopted daughter of the Shen family, what would she have to worry about with such a sworn brother taking care of her?
Before Madam Shen finished speaking, Madam Meng immediately took over the conversation, as if she was afraid that Madam Shen would go back on her word.
"Your Excellency and Madam Hou are really too kind. Even if we can't become in-laws, it's fine for our two families to be related. Don't talk about whether we owe each other or not. Isn't that embarrassing for us?"
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, “In this case, I have to thank Madam and Master for their understanding.”
Madam Meng and Lord Meng smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
On that day, Meng Yun was asked to pay respect to Madam Shen and Lord Shen, and he immediately changed his words and called them adoptive father and mother.
The noble families only lack interests, and these valuable items are nothing more than things used to exchange favors. The Meng family had a relationship with the Shen family, so they gave the Shen family an even more generous gift of recognition of relationship.
The news had to get out, and it was decided that three days later, the Meng family would go to the Shen family for a family recognition dinner.
After leaving the Meng family, Lord Shen went to the camp outside the capital.
Mrs. Shen returned to the Shen family alone. She was worried about Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan, so she asked the maid who delivered the things to ask them how they were doing.
The old woman said that Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan went to Zhu's house today.
"What are you going to the Zhu family for?" Mrs. Shen frowned instantly.
"I don't know either."
Madam Shen couldn't ask directly. Thinking of what Lord Shen said, she had to suppress her worries and told the maid, "Ask about it."
"Let's go to the Zhu family and find out what's going on."
"Yes, don't worry, ma'am."
After returning to the Shen family, Mrs. Shen checked the servants of the Shen family in the name of checking the accounts to see if anyone was taking advantage of the situation. She also instructed the maids to prepare for the family recognition banquet three days later.
As for Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan, Madam Shen wrote a letter herself and asked her personal maid to deliver it.
This letter was naturally sent to Zhu Yinluan, because Madam Shen knew very well that if she handed it to Shen Jingzhan, he would definitely not accept it.
The first was to let Zhu Yinluan go and persuade him, and the second was to show his attitude to Zhu Yinluan, telling her that the matter on the Meng family's side had been settled. Finally, he told her to take good care of herself outside, and that everything was safe at home and she need not worry.
At night, Zhu Yinluan had already finished her bath and was reading the letter sent by Madam Shen.
Not only the letter paper, but also a bunch of supplements, as well as pearls, hairpins and silks.
These things were delivered yesterday and again today. Zhu Yinluan sincerely admired Mrs. Shen's generosity.
She was truly relieved. The breakfast that day ended in a bad mood, and Mrs. Shen didn't seem to take it to heart.
When Shen Jingzhan came out, she was still watching.
He knew exactly what was written on the letter, but he pretended not to know and asked her.
Zhu Yinluan explained it to him again.
Listen to her soft voice and look at her pitiful expression under the candlelight.
Shen Jingzhan didn't hear clearly what she was saying.
I just think she looks so soft and beautiful without any makeup, with her plump and pink lips moving, making her look very kissable.
"......"
Zhu Yinluan finished reading without listening to Shen Jingzhan's reply. She looked up and encountered the man's extremely deep expression.
His eyes were fixed on her face, a precursor to something she was very familiar with.
Zhu Yinluan cleared her throat, trying to wake up Shen Jingzhan's thoughts.
But the man was still distracted, so she raised her voice and called him, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah." He clearly wasn't listening, but he still had the nerve to respond.
It's clearly just perfunctory.
The darkness in the man's eyes did not fade, and he sat down beside her.
A fresh breath swept over, and Zhu Yinluan moved to the side without making a sound, hoping to increase the distance between them, but the old fox was one step ahead.
He stretched out his hand and pressed down, and his big palm came around from behind and directly embraced her in his arms.
Xuxu hugged her and looked at the letter in her hand.
At this moment, Zhu Yinluan's nose was filled with the fresh scent coming from his body after bathing.
His broad chest embraced her, and he didn't hug her directly, but through the thin undershirt, Zhu Yinluan could already feel the warmth of his chest.
Zhu Yinluan couldn't help feeling dry in the mouth.
She simply handed the letter in her hand to Shen Jingzhan, trying to persuade him to let go, but it was useless. She covered her stomach and crouched down, trying to get out.
But she didn't move, so Shen Jingzhan covered her hands.
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
"I didn't listen carefully just now, Luan'er, can you read it to me again?"
"The letter is right in front of you, take a look for yourself." Zhu Yinluan resisted and retracted her hand.
But just when she was about to break free, Shen Jingzhan grabbed her again.
Once could be considered a coincidence, but after twice, Zhu Yinluan clearly didn't understand.
She got angry, turned around and glared at him, "What are you doing!"
"Let me go."
Shen Jingzhan still didn't let her go, and looked down at her little face.
When Zhu Yinluan realized that he was getting closer and closer, she tilted her head, but was pinched on the chin and kissed by Shen Jingzhan.
Zhu Yinluan sobbed, and all her attempts to argue were swallowed up by Shen Jingzhan.
Only some incoherent moans came out.
The light piece of paper fell down.
Shen Jingzhan kissed her deeply, and he became more and more advanced. After just two or three kisses, Zhu Yinluan was already out of breath.
When she's not prepared.
He held her waist, leaned over her legs, and carried her to the soft bed.
As Shen Jingzhan moved, the wind from his sleeves blew, the candlelight was extinguished, and the curtain fell.
Zhu Yinluan used her hands to hold herself back, but the quilt beneath her was too soft and she felt like she was sinking into a cloud.
Before I could find a safe place, I felt a chill on my wrist.
Zhu Yinluan thought to herself that something was wrong.
"Why did you lock me up again?" She was a little annoyed.
Her breathing hadn't even calmed down yet, and her tone of voice was a little too soft.
“You——” Before he could finish his words, he was kissed back by Shen Jingzhan.
Today's spring rain falls slowly and steadily.
Zhu Yinluan gradually fell in love with him in the gentle spring rain, and actually slowly ignored the hand clasped between them on her wrist.
As the positions changed, the chains couldn't help but make a collision sound.
She actually found it pleasant to the ear.
Could it be because of other...
The collision between tenderness and strength creates a strong contrast.
Didn't that make her feel that the sound made by the chains was acceptable and not so embarrassing?
She doesn't know.
She resisted Shen Jingzhan's intimacy with her, and she did resist before it started.
But after the kiss, she gradually softened under his entanglement.
Her whole body seemed to be out of control of her thoughts, and he aroused her deepest addiction. Even now that she was pregnant, she still wanted to be intimate with him.
Longing for him to kiss her next.
I hope that this rain, which has already come to the end of spring, can fall a little heavier.
She wanted to get wet in the rain, and it would be best if her entire body was soaked, inside and out.
Before the rain even started to fall, she had already consciously or unconsciously missed the feeling of being bathed in the rain.
Even the toes of the whole person were curled up together and the bedding was crumpled.
"......"
Although she was prepared, she still felt a slight shiver and comfortable when the spring rain came.
This is what Shen Jingzhan gave her, and no one else can give it to her.
She could no longer tell whether she liked him as a person or just liked having sex with him.
It seems like I like it very much...I even have the urge to cry.
It seems that she has cried.
She has cried many times.
The man paid attention to her emotions, bent down to kiss away the tears on her face, and pecked her nose lightly.
Zhu Yinluan opened her eyes and saw the man's handsome profile through the hazy and charming vision.
Tenderness and intoxication are for her.
This night was exceptionally long.
The next day, there was a long-awaited quietness.
Zhu Yinluan slept until noon. When she got up, there was a faint scent of medicine on her body, as well as the fresh breath of a man, and a man's big hand on her waist.
Since getting married, Shen Jingzhan had been with her for a short period of time, and then he had been busy. This was the first time she woke up and Shen Jingzhan was actually by her side.
Although I was there the previous two days, the feeling on this day was completely different.
Zhu Yinluan lowered her eyes and did not move, but she did not expect that Shen Jingzhan had also woken up and actually knew that she was awake.
He asked her if she felt any pain and if she was hungry.
Zhu Yinluan didn't say anything for a while.
"Are you angry?" He stroked her hair.
Feeling a little itchy, Zhu Yinluan began to avoid it.
"Don't. Touch. Me..."
Shen Jingzhan said yes, "I'll listen to Luan'er."
Then I asked her what she wanted to eat today.
Zhu Yinluan answered irrelevantly, "Don't you have to go to court today?"
"Not for now."
How long will it be needed if it is not needed temporarily?
She didn't say it, but Shen Jingzhan seemed to be able to read her mind, "Wait until things create a wave."
Is something stirring up a wave?
What was he referring to? Could it be that something happened in the court?
She had been entangled with Shen Jingzhan these days, and was brought here by him, so Ming Ya didn't even have time to say a few words.
"Luan'er, don't you like me to accompany you?"
Zhu Yinluan pursed her lips, but her heart was unhappy.
Shen Jingzhan tapped her lips with his fingertips, "You're lying."
"When did Luan'er learn to lie?"
"He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black."
The man laughed, his laughter was low and pleasant, "Luan'er, do you mean you learned it from me?"
"...I didn't say that."
"You did."
"I don't."
The two of them seemed to be arguing like children.
"Well, you didn't." Shen Jingzhan's smile deepened, and he nodded to agree with her, backing off and saying that it was all his fault.
"It's your fault in the first place." Zhu Yinluan said this, and when she turned her back, the corners of her lips slightly curled up.
He lay there for a long time before finally getting up.
Zhu Yinluan didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan could actually cook. Isn't it said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen?
How can he still make a fire and cook?
The movements were smooth and flowing, without any roughness, and were done with great ease.
Zhu Yinluan watched his movements...not only were they beautiful, but also...it felt like something she had seen before.
But how have I seen it before...?
That familiar feeling couldn't be more clearly understood.
Zhu Yinluan immediately asked, "Have we ever done this before?"
"What do you mean?" He deliberately misinterpreted her meaning.
"What is this that Luan'er is talking about?"
