Li Rong stopped talking.

He Yan was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, one level higher than Pei Wenxuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Now that Pei Wenxuan had just been transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, he took the initiative to invite Pei Wenxuan to a banquet, and there was naturally no reason for Pei Wenxuan to refuse.

Just saying...

"He Yan is so brave."

Li Rong spoke coldly, how dare they invite her husband to a brothel? Now Pei Wenxuan has not gained power, and these people have such courage. Wait until the future...

"Your Highness," Zhao Chongjiu reminded coldly, "You and Lord Pei are divorced."

Li Rong: “…”

She felt that Zhao Chongjiu's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down on her, which made her sober up a lot. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and said in a low voice: "Why don't you keep talking!"

Zhao Chongjiu had a blank expression on his face. Li Rong slowed down in the room and finally decided that she wanted to go and take a look.

On the one hand, we want to see how Pei Wenxuan "negotiates things" in the brothel, and on the other hand, Cui Yulang's matter is indeed urgent.

After thinking it through, she suppressed her anger and raised her hand to give orders: "Ask someone to look after Chunfeng Tower. Give me an identity to sneak in. Keep a close eye on me and don't let anyone find me."

Zhao Chongjiu responded and went downstairs to do his work. After a while, Zhao Chongjiu sent a female guard back to lead Li Rong to Chunfeng Tower.

Li Rong wanted to enter Chunfeng Tower secretly, so she couldn't go through the open road. On the way, the guard told Li Rong about the arrangements for today: "Lord Zhao has already bribed a dancer who is attending the banquet in Chunfeng Tower. Your Highness may have to lose some status tonight and replace the dancer to enter. What do you think?"

"Just get it done."

Li Rong nodded, and at the same time thought that a dancer would be a good opportunity to see clearly how Pei Wenxuan socialized outside.

Although she had great confidence in Pei Wenxuan, she also inherited Li Ming's suspicion. Even for the person she trusted the most, she still kept the possibility that that person might turn bad.

After all, which woman doesn't think it's good to love that person?

Li Rong stroked the small fan in her hand and lowered her eyes.

The female guard led her into Chunfenglou through the back door and into a dancer's room. When the dancer saw Li Rong, she thought she was some lady's wife and told her several times, "Madam, no matter what you saw today, you can't make a scene in our store, or else my mother will kill me."

"Don't worry," Li Rong smiled and soothed, "I'm just going to take a look. I won't get you into trouble."

"But there is one thing," the female guard suddenly said, "what if the patron inside takes a fancy to you?"

"Don't worry," the dancer smiled, "Mr. He who came today is a regular customer of the store and will not make things difficult for you. And I have already told the waiter who sent you to the room that I will not receive any customers today. The waiter will help you when the time comes."

"That's all." Li Rong nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "If there is an accident... I have a way."

Anyway, as long as her identity was revealed, Pei Wenxuan would naturally protect her, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

After hearing this, the female guard felt relieved and asked the dancer to take Li Rong to change clothes.

After they got behind the screen, the dancer took out a set of Persian dancer's clothes and handed it to Li Rong, saying, "Madam, do you need my help?"

Li Rong looked at the dancer's golden sequined dress in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

She began to wonder if this was all a trap set by Pei Wenxuan...

Seeing that Li Rong hadn't spoken for a long time, the dancer asked cautiously, "Madam?"

Li Rong finally came back to her senses. She was already here. Even if it was Pei Wenxuan's trap, she had to go see him. So she didn't care about it anymore and said directly, "No need. I'll change it myself."

The dancer bowed and retreated.

Li Rong quickly changed into a dancer's outfit behind the screen and walked out. She then asked the guards to quickly put some heavy makeup on her to ensure that she would not be recognized after she put on the veil.

After changing her clothes, the dancer taught Li Rong the moves for tonight's song in the room.

Li Rong was going to stand at the back tonight, so she didn't need to dance very well, as long as she followed behind without making any mistakes. So Li Rong spent an hour following the dancer, memorizing the general postures and rhythms, and listened to the dancer explain the rules of Chunfeng Tower. It was almost night, and lanterns were hung outside. The female guard had just lit the lights when she heard a boy calling, "Sister Qinghe, guests are here, and Mom wants you to come over."

The dancer deliberately lowered her voice and said in a hoarse voice: "Right now."

When the boy heard the dancer's voice, he was a little confused: "What's wrong with Sister Qinghe's voice?"

The dancer listened to the boy's words, stood at the door, opened it, coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "My throat is a little uncomfortable today. Please wait a moment, I will go after I change my clothes."

The boy responded, and the dancer closed the door, walked up to Li Rong, and said in a low voice: "This boy's name is Xiaogui. You don't need to say too much later, just follow him."

Li Rong nodded. The dancer estimated the time and motioned for Li Rong to go out.

Li Rong walked out of the house and nodded to the boy.

Xiaogui thought that Qinghe had a bad throat, so he didn't say much. The two of them walked in silence. The boy sent Li Rong to the front hall, and Li Rong saw a middle-aged woman, who must be the "mother" Qinghe mentioned.

The middle-aged woman, wearing heavy makeup, put her hands on her hips and scolded the young girls: "Today is the occasion for Lord He to entertain the distinguished guests. You all should perform well and don't neglect it. Lord He said that if the distinguished guests are not satisfied today, they will not come again in the future. You should give me enough strength and be as coquettish as you can. Do you understand?"

All the girls answered in unison. Li Rong was mixed in the crowd, listening to these words, with a breath of anger stuck in her chest, unable to let it out or swallow it down.

This is the business of these girls, and she also understands it. She is not used to making things difficult for women, so whether she will express this attitude depends on Pei Wenxuan's performance.

Li Rong thought about it and followed the crowd to the backyard. After waiting for a while, she heard her mother downstairs calling out to someone, "Sir, such a handsome man like you is a rare guest..."

When Li Rong heard this, she quickly looked over. Looking down from the second floor, she saw Pei Wenxuan, wearing a blue shirt and a jade crown, with his hands clasped in his sleeves, leading Tong Ye upstairs.

He looked different from what she usually saw him in. He had no smile on his face, and he looked cold and distant, looking particularly difficult to mess with. His face, which was usually as gentle as the wind in March, also showed a bit of the unapproachability of the snow on the mountain.

Others made fun of him all the way, but he remained expressionless, as if he had heard nothing, and walked upstairs with his feet picked up.

Li Rong was stunned by Pei Wenxuan's behavior, and then she laughed at herself for being so surprised. She had seen Pei Wenxuan's ugly face countless times in her previous life, and now she was used to seeing Pei Wenxuan coaxing her, and she almost forgot what kind of man he was.

Li Rong felt that this trip was worth it when she found that she could see a different side of Pei Wenxuan. When Pei Wenxuan arrived at the door, the girl waiting there quickly bowed and saluted. Li Rong also bowed reluctantly. Pei Wenxuan glanced at her and saw a slender waist with white hair. He turned around in fright, pretended to be calm, pushed the door open and walked in.

He Yan is indeed an old player in this romantic place, and even the dancers he chose are so bold.

Persian dance was originally loved for its exotic style, but later on, entertainment venues discovered that Persian dance clothes were easier to design and the twisting of the waist in the dance was more likely to seduce men, so it became popular in entertainment venues.

In fact, compared to the dancers on the street who actually came from Persia to perform, the dancers here have shorter tops, revealing more of their slender waists, and have lower necklines. If their breasts are bigger, the lines of their entire upper body can be described as breathtaking.

It’s just that this seems too explicit, so scholars and literati don’t like it, but some gluttons in brothels like it.

Pei Wenxuan had a rough idea of ​​this future "old colleague" in his mind, and this idea was not unexpected to him.

Judging from the information he had obtained, He Yan was a greedy, lustful, and sociable person. His behavior today was not unexpected to him.

He didn't want to come, fearing that Li Rong would misunderstand him. But being on good terms with He Yan was crucial to his next step. He Yan took the initiative to invite him to the banquet, and if he didn't go, he would seem too aloof, and it would be difficult for him to get close to He Yan in the future.

So he came over anyway, thinking about going back and explaining to Li Rong later.

Of course, it is not impossible for him not to explain. If he does not explain, and waits for Li Rong to ask him, he will ask her about Cui Yulang. She will defend herself and naturally dare not say more.

The moment Pei Wenxuan entered the room, he had already thought about how he was going to quarrel with Li Rong later.

After making sure he could win the argument, he smiled and bowed to He Yan who was already seated: "Master He."

Then he bowed to the others in the room and said, "Hello, everyone."

"Master Pei is here."

He Yan stood up and spoke. He looked to be in his early forties, thin, and had a mustache that made him look a little cunning.

As he spoke, he beckoned Pei Wenxuan to take a seat: "Come, come, sit down, and listen to what Big Brother has to say today."

In just a few words, He Yan and Pei Wenxuan had become brothers. He Yan asked Pei Wenxuan to sit down and introduced the people in the room to him one by one.

Almost all the people in the room were from the Ministry of Personnel, with varying ranks, all of whom were colleagues who would get along with each other in the future. They looked at each other and exchanged pleasantries.

Pei Wenxuan was a man who knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he soon became familiar with everyone. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, He Yan waved his hand and asked someone to bring the girl in.

Li Rong followed the crowd into the house and mixed in with the last row. After she scanned the crowd and confirmed that they were all people from the Ministry of Personnel, she roughly understood the mood of today's banquet.

While dancing, she listened carefully to what Pei Wenxuan was saying to everyone.

The group exchanged pleasantries in the house, speaking only official language, but never getting to the point. They drank a lot of wine and talked a lot of nonsense.

Li Rong followed the others and twisted her body in the crowd, while taking advantage of the gaps to look at Pei Wenxuan. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was already familiar with each other. He Yan took the wine glass, took the initiative to approach Pei Wenxuan, raised his hand to embrace Pei Wenxuan, and said happily: "Brother Pei, you are a straightforward person, I like you. Don't worry, I will protect you in the Ministry of Personnel in the future."

"Then Wenxuan thanks you, brother."

Pei Wenxuan laughed and immediately changed his address. He Yan patted Pei Wenxuan on the shoulder, sat next to Pei Wenxuan, and said with some emotion: "I know you were bullied by Princess Pingle. Now you finally got divorced. You are finally free, right? Come, let yourself go today. Brother will treat you." He Yan raised his hand and waved at the girl, "Take a closer look. If you like any of them, call them over."

Everyone heard this, including Li Rong.

Li Rong stared at Pei Wenxuan in the crowd, just to see what Pei Wenxuan would say.

If he dared to agree, she would kill him when she got back.

Pei Wenxuan was also in a dilemma. He had finally established a good relationship with He Yan. If he refused now, he might offend He Yan. But if he wanted him to agree...

Before Pei Wenxuan could refuse, He Yan saw what he meant and said quickly, "You are young, and I know you are shy. Come, I will help you choose. Look, the best part of this woman is her waist."

As He Yan spoke, he stared at the dancer's twisting waist, like a wolf looking at fat meat, and commented: "A good waist depends on its thinness, toughness, and agility. This Persian dance tests the girl's waist strength..."

"Brother He..." Pei Wenxuan couldn't bear to listen any more and raised his head to change the subject. However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw He Yan staring at a girl and praised: "Look, brother."

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he looked over subconsciously, and then he heard He Yan say, "Good waist!"

Pei Wenxuan was stunned when he looked over.

The short-sleeved top of the golden Persian dancer's dress was covered with gold flakes. Under the swaying gold flakes, the woman's slender and flexible waist twisted like a snake.

There was no fat on her waist, it looked firm and beautiful, the upper and lower curves were connected very smoothly, and the most important thing was that between the sequins, on the edge of the spine, a small red mole flickered in the light, as if calling out for something, attracting people's attention.

Li Rong got angry when she saw Pei Wenxuan staring at her blankly. She was wearing heavy makeup today, so it was unlikely that Pei Wenxuan could tell it was her. He was staring at her blankly like he couldn't take his eyes off a beautiful girl.

But Li Rong felt that she couldn't jump to such a conclusion, so she waited for Pei Wenxuan's next reaction.

Pei Wenxuan's stunned state also aroused He Yan's interest. He turned around and said with a suppressed smile, "Brother Pei, do you like this?"

"It's indeed a good arrival." Pei Wenxuan came back to his senses and realized that it was probably Li Rong.

As for why Li Rong appeared here, it was not difficult to guess. She was probably anxious to tell him about Cui Yulang and came here to chase him.

When Pei Wenxuan thought of this, he felt angry again, but the more angry he felt, the bigger the smile on his face.

He looked at He Yan and jokingly asked, "Master He is also interested in you?"

"Since you've taken a fancy to her, how can I compete with you for her?"

He Yan smiled, turned around and pointed at Li Rong, saying, "The one in the last row," he waved his hand, "Come here. Today's distinguished guest has taken a liking to you. You should be happy to see such a handsome man!"

Upon hearing this, all the dancers started laughing. However, the wine waiter who was watching the scene became anxious and stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is our courtesan..."

"Here is one hundred taels." Pei Wenxuan took out the banknote and put it on the table without waiting for the other party to finish. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then heard Pei Wenxuan smiled and said, "You said, should I give this silver to you or your boss?"

This amount of money is enough to buy a dancer's virginity. If this money goes to the boss, it can corrupt any prostitute.

The waiter had received Qing He's instructions, so he knew that Li Rong was not one of them. He quickly tried to find a way to help Li Rong out of this predicament, but before he could think of a solution, Li Rong bowed and said in a hoarse voice, "I won't embarrass you, brother."

As she spoke, Li Rong stepped out, came to Pei Wenxuan, bowed to him, and said respectfully in a hoarse voice: "It is my duty to serve you, sir, you don't have to spend any money."

Just kidding, that's one hundred taels.

Pei Wenxuan had never seen Li Rong be so respectful to him before. He felt a sense of refreshment that he had never felt before. He smiled at Li Rong and patted his side: "Girl, please sit down."

When Li Rong heard this, she was so angry that her teeth itched.

Looking at his gentle and considerate appearance, I'm afraid he has been blinded by lust.

But she still wanted to see how far Pei Wenxuan could go, so she bowed and said timidly, "Thank you, sir."

He Yan saw Li Rong's expression and laughed: "She is a sensible girl."

As he said this, he stood up from Pei Wenxuan's side, returned to his seat, called three girls over, hugged them left and right, and one of them knelt behind him for him to lean on. He looked very happy.

Other officials also called girls, and each hugged at least one. Some girls encouraged them to drink, some talked, and those who were not chosen continued to dance. The scene was very lively.

Li Rong walked around the small table and sat next to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan turned around and looked her up and down gently. Li Rong lowered her head and pretended to be shy, worrying in her heart whether Pei Wenxuan could see her.

Pei Wenxuan felt his heart melt as he saw Li Rong's rare coquettish look. He reached out and held her hand, saying softly, "Are you cold wearing so little?"

"It's not that bad," Li Rong said softly, and then responded in a low voice, "It's still a little cold outside, but it won't be cold once you get inside."

Pei Wenxuan didn't say much after hearing this. He just took off his coat, took off his coat, and put it on her.

He Yan watched from the side and couldn't help laughing: "The girl deliberately wore less to seduce you, but you covered her up with your clothes. Lord Pei, you are very kind to women."

"This little sister's hands are cold," Pei Wenxuan turned around and responded, leaning back on the chair, and took Li Rong into his arms, raising the glass and saying, "Don't be merciful, what if it gets frozen?"

His movements were extremely gentle, but when she thought that Pei Wenxuan might not recognize her at all, Li Rong felt a little sad.

She leaned on Pei Wenxuan's chest and listened to Pei Wenxuan asking her: "What's your name?"

"Qinghe."

Li Rong reported the dancer's name, and Pei Wenxuan nodded and said, "It's a good name."

"It's not good enough to be a dilettante."

Li Rong didn't give Pei Wenxuan any face and started talking about her bad name. Pei Wenxuan didn't get annoyed and just asked with a smile: "How old are you? Are you over 20?"

"No," Li Rong pretended to be serious, "I am almost nineteen this year."

"You're not that young anymore." Pei Wenxuan said, and he found it very interesting to see Li Rong respond to him. "Do you have someone you like?"

"some."

"Oh? What's his name? What kind of person is he?" Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong was really cute and couldn't help teasing her. Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was so interested in talking to the little girl, she was furious and just said, "His name is Pei Tieniu, he's a fool."

Pei Wenxuan: “…”

He heard the resentment in Li Rong's words and looked carefully. He saw that although Li Rong tried her best to restrain herself, there was still some anger in her eyes that she could not hide.

He looked at it for a moment and then understood.

This is vinegar.

Thinking of Li Rong being jealous of him, Pei Wenxuan was so happy that he wanted to hug her and kiss her, but then he remembered that He Yan was still there, and he didn't want to show too much inappropriate emotions in front of He Yan, so he just smiled and nodded: "It just so happens that my last name is Pei too." Pei Wenxuan leaned close to her ear and said with a suppressed smile, "You can call me Brother Pei."

She didn't want to call him Brother Pei, she just wanted to blow his head off.

But she couldn't show it, so she could only blush and respond with a low "hmm".

"Lord Pei likes this girl very much."

He Yan saw Pei Wenxuan being very gentle to Li Rong and couldn't help but joke, "Look at how considerate he is. He may not be that kind to the princess."

When Li Rong heard this, she quickly glanced at He Yan.

Very talkative, she noted.

Pei Wenxuan did not deny it, but said: "The princess is naturally noble, but I like this little darling too."

"Why don't you let your little darling take off the veil so that everyone can see it."

Someone started laughing, and Li Rong froze for a moment. Then she heard Pei Wenxuan say, "I'll pick it off so you can see it. If it looks good, you'll have to fight me for it."

"Master Pei, I promise not to snatch your little sweetheart away," the man who was stirring up trouble said seriously, "Everyone else's dancers have taken off their veils, so it would be bad if you didn't take off yours, right?"

"Forget it," Pei Wenxuan said nonchalantly, hugging Li Rong. "I'm very picky. I finally liked this girl's waist. If her face turns me off, I won't be able to sleep alone tonight."

Pei Wenxuan changed the subject and looked at He Yan and said, "Brother He, is Lord Wang really in charge of this imperial examination?"

"The Minister has a lot of things to do," He Yan said casually when Pei Wenxuan talked about serious matters. But it was not a big deal, so he said, "Even if he is in charge, he can't really do it. The imperial examination is not a big deal. A group of poor students want to make a leap," He Yan drank the wine handed to him by the dancer and said casually, "How can the Minister be in charge of so many things?"

As he spoke, he kissed the dancer.

The dancer smiled and hid, so he chased after her. Everyone followed suit, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Pei Wenxuan sat quietly in front of a group of people, seeming a little too calm. He Yan laughed at him for being here for the first time, and he just said, "I'm just not used to being in front of people."

Pei Wenxuan said this and chatted with the people from the Ministry of Personnel about the situation in the Ministry of Personnel. It didn't sound like anything important. Li Rong lay on Pei Wenxuan's chest, and he stroked her back from time to time. Listening to their worthless conversation, Li Rong couldn't help feeling sleepy.

The people around were toasting each other from a distance, but he didn't drink. He gave all the wine to the dancer. When it came to Pei Wenxuan, he drank it all himself and didn't give any to Li Rong.

The banquet went haywire in the second half. These people were full of energy and were getting drunk and making a scene.

While Pei Wenxuan was asking He Yan and others about the status of the imperial examination in the Ministry of Personnel, he was also responding to the toasts from everyone. Although the wine was not strong and was even a little mellow, but after drinking too much, one still felt it and all rational reactions were dulled.

This made him involuntarily pay attention to his surroundings. The people around him had already started playing, and the extent of their play was extremely large. Pei Wenxuan turned his eyes away, but it was difficult for him to ignore Li Rong leaning in his arms.

Li Rong lay in his arms for a long time. She seemed to be sleepy and fell asleep in a daze, looking like a cat.

Pei Wenxuan glanced to the side for a moment, and saw under the dim light that the girl had thick and long eyelashes, cherry-colored lips, and her small lips were slightly parted, revealing a little bit of the tip of her tongue.

Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, turned around and talked about business with He Yan again.

He Yan had already explained the entire process of the imperial examination to him. Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "According to what Brother He said, there is actually not much we need to do."

As Pei Wenxuan spoke, his hand on Li Rong couldn't help but move down.

He had covered Li Rong with clothes before. The clothes were like a quilt covering Li Rong. Originally it was to keep out the cold, but now it became the best cover.

No one could see what he did under his clothes, but Li Rong froze the moment he moved.

Pei Wenxuan knew she was awake, but he pretended not to know, with a calm expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.

"It's really not much," He Yan sighed and said meaningfully, "but the most important part is in our hands, so naturally we can't do without it..."

He Yan smiled and said nothing more.

After hearing what they said, Li Rong suddenly became much more sober.

She leaned on Pei Wenxuan, pretending to be asleep, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Pei Wenxuan seemed to know that she would not tolerate it, so he became even more reckless.

"Then...what should we do?" Pei Wenxuan raised his wine glass. "There are more than one way for the people below, right?"

Pei Wenxuan said this and took another sip of wine.

Li Rong clenched her teeth and suppressed all sounds.

She tried not to have any feelings, any emotions.

Although she intuitively felt that Pei Wenxuan had most likely recognized her, she felt resistance in her heart when she thought about what would happen if Pei Wenxuan didn't recognize her.

This feeling of resistance was mixed with the feeling given by Pei Wenxuan, but it seemed like the sweetness of vinegar, making all the flavors more obvious.

In fact, Pei Wenxuan did not do anything excessive. He just stroked it as if it were a precious jade or an ancient zither, precious and slow. However, it was this kind of surrender after confrontation, the inability to express and speak after surrender, that multiplied all perceptions layer by layer.

Li Rong listened to the conversation between Pei Wenxuan and He Yan, but she couldn't help but immerse herself in a kind of indescribable joy.

"There are thousands of ways, but they all have to go through us in the end. For example, the most common way is to change your name."

He Yan walked over and whispered, "At this time, someone will come to ask you for help."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan laughed: "So there are so many tricks."

"Do your best." He Yan raised his hand and patted Pei Wenxuan, "The Ministry of Personnel is not like the Historian."

"Yes," Pei Wenxuan nodded, "I hope you will take care of me in the future."

"By the way, are you asleep?"

It was almost the same time when He Yanjian saw her. He glanced at Li Rong. Pei Wenxuan turned around and looked at Li Rong, who was pretending to sleep, with a smile. He raised his hand to brush away the loose hair on her face.

The movements of his hand in front of people were extremely gentle, but the opposite was true when he was not visible.

"Too sleepy." Pei Wenxuan smiled, "This girl must be tired today."

"No matter how tired you are, you have to take care of the guests."

He Yan blinked and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you go back to your room first?"

"Then Brother He, you..."

"I'm leaving too."

He Yan smiled and said, "After greeting the other brothers, I will go back to the guest room."

"Then my little brother will go first?"

"Go ahead."

He Yan waved his hand and said, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold coins. I'm sure you've been holding it in all night."

Pei Wenxuan seemed embarrassed and didn't say much. When others were about to call Li Rong, they saw Pei Wenxuan shaking his head.

Pei Wenxuan reached out and pulled the clothes on Li Rong, then picked her up and carried her back to the guest room with the servants.

The servant led the two people back, opened the door and went in. Before turning on the lights, Pei Wenxuan put the person directly on the ground and kissed him without saying anything.

Li Rong pushed him over and stopped pretending. She said directly, "Get lost..."

Before she could finish, Pei Wenxuan pressed her against the door and stopped her from speaking with his lips: "You pushed me to see Cui Yulang, and you still dared to tell me to get out?"

He bit her lips vaguely and said, "You have a bad temper."

When Li Rong heard this, she knew why he pretended not to recognize her today.

She frowned, and Pei Wenxuan intertwined his fingers and pressed her hands against the door. She took advantage of the gap when he kissed other parts of her body, panting softly and said, "You recognized it a long time ago?"

"Do you think I'll be nice to other girls besides you?"

"Why not?" Li Rong hung on him and said with a smile, "If she has a sister or a friend, wouldn't it be normal for you to be nice to her?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan suddenly froze.

Li Rong was quite surprised to see Pei Wenxuan stop moving, so she looked up at him.

In the night, Pei Wenxuan lowered his head. The light shone through the screen window, falling on him. Li Rong looked at him, feeling a little confused for a moment: "Pei Wenxuan?"

"No," Pei Wenxuan suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse. Li Rong stared at him blankly, and then he raised his head and smiled at her. His smile was a little bitter, but he seemed to not want her to notice it, so he tried to be gentle, "I won't be nice to the second girl."

"Rongrong," he leaned forward and touched her forehead with his, "I can't lose you a second time."

"I can't walk alone for another 30 years."
