Chapter 30 Don't tell anyone
Anyway, she wasn't the kind of person who would die for chastity. No, she was determined to never pay any more attention to Li Shangxuan, let alone marry him.
The next day, given her pre-existing injury, it wasn't unusual for her to stay home.
Xin Wanyou led the puppy in, smiling and talking to her. At first, their conversation was fairly normal.
But after a short while, Xin Wanyou revealed her true colors, closing the door and windows, checking them several times to make sure they were locked before running back to her seat. She pulled a handful of pumpkin seeds from her pocket, gave half to Yang Qing, and began to eat them with relish. "Did you sleep with that dark-faced guy? How's his skill in bed?"
Yang Qing's face turned completely red. She didn't consider herself a particularly thin-skinned person, but she was always intimidated by Xin Wanyou's straightforwardness. This time, the question was even bolder than ever before. Not to mention now, even in her previous life, after the two of them had been married for so many years, no one dared to ask her how good Li Shangxuan was in bed.
Xin Wanyou teased, "Autumn hasn't even arrived yet, the apples aren't even red, but your face is already flushed. Don't be shy, tell me. We're both girls, I promise I won't tell anyone else, it's okay to talk about it."
Yang Qing finally snapped out of her shock and questioned, "How did you know? Did Li Shangxuan tell you?"
Xin Wanyou shook her head and said, "How could that be? He's not sick, why is he dragging me into saying all this? Just yesterday we saw him come out of your room shirtless. Don't tell me nothing happened between you two, I'm not a three-year-old, I won't believe it."
Yang Qing keenly realized that she had said "we" instead of "I." "Who else saw it?"
Xin Wanyou said, "And Huo Lu too."
Yang Qingzhen regretted it. She shouldn't have acted impulsively yesterday and told him to get dressed before leaving. Now look what happened, both of them saw them.
Seeing her expression, Xin Wanyou could guess what she was thinking and comforted her, "What's wrong with that? I won't tell anyone, and Huo Lu won't tell anyone either. Where we're from, it's not uncommon for young men and women to go straight to the woods if they hit it off."
Yang Qing asked, "Then you should know a lot about this, right? Why are you asking me?"
Xin Wanyou said, "I have high standards, I wouldn't even look at those people. Oh, Xun, just tell me first, and I'll talk to you about it later. I'm really curious."
Yang Qing, annoyed by the way the girl was shaking her arm, could only reply perfunctorily, "It's just so-so."
Xin Wanyou was very dissatisfied with such a vague answer: "Comfortable is comfortable, and uncomfortable is uncomfortable. What do you mean by 'just so-so'?"
She leaned closer mysteriously, "Okay, since you don't want to say, let me ask you another question, is it big or not?"
Yang Qing really wanted to strangle her, and said angrily, "I've only seen his, there's no comparison, how do I know if it's big or not?"
Xin Wanyou said, "How can you be so stupid? You don't know anything?"
Yang Qing secretly recalled in her mind, it shouldn't be considered small, right?
However, she didn't intend to tell Xin Wanyou about this, and could only plead repeatedly, "Please don't tell anyone else."
Xin Wanyou naturally patted her chest and guaranteed it.
Yang Qing ate breakfast and lunch in her room, but Li Shangxuan came over after dinner.
Yang Qing was not only angry but also embarrassed, so she quickly turned her face away and ignored him.
Li Shangxuan touched his nose, looking unusually awkward. He asked her questions like, "How's your foot? Does it still hurt?" but she didn't answer.
Li Shangxuan sighed and handed her the basket he was carrying. Yang Qing didn't want to take it, but Li Shangxuan insisted on giving it to her, saying, "Open it and take a look, you'll like it."
Yang Qing thought it would be some kind of novel pastry or something, and she was quite disdainful in her heart. Did Li Shangxuan really look down on her?
Is she the kind of person who would happily forgive him for a few pieces of pastry?
After his repeated urging, Yang Qing reluctantly lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket. Unexpectedly, it didn't contain any pastries, but a snow-white kitten with jewel-like blue eyes.
Yang Qing couldn't help but let out a small gasp when she saw it for the first time. She reached out and touched it. Its fur was long and soft, and it didn't try to avoid being touched. Instead, it gave her a cute and innocent "meow" in a very standard way.
Yang Qing's heart melted instantly, and she couldn't be cold towards Li Shangxuan anymore. She asked excitedly, "Where did you find it?"
Li Shangxuan had long expected her to like him, but he had always been uneasy. Now, he was finally relieved.
He reached out a finger and poked the kitten's upturned pink paw, his voice gentle, "Do you like it?"
Yang Qing nodded quickly: "I love it, I love it. Is this for me?"
Li Shangxuan's lips curled up: "Or what?"
Completely relieved, she picked up the kitten from the basket. The little guy was probably only a little over a month old. It was small and soft, but not as light as feathers. It was warm, had weight, and was a little life breathing.
Taking the opportunity, Li Shangxuan asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Yang Qing snorted but didn't say anything, continuing to stroke the kitten's fluffy head. "What does it eat?"
Li Shangxuan said, "Of course cats eat mice."
Yang Qing was not happy. She had just kissed the kitten. If it ate the mouse, wouldn't that be the same as it kissing the mouse?
"I don't want to feed it mice."
Li Shangxuan said, "Then don't let it eat it."
That was acceptable. Yang Qing added, "I want to give it a name."
Li Shangxuan practically half-embraced her: "Go ahead and get it."
Yang Qing rolled her eyes and said, "It was born in the south, so let's call it Nan Nan."
He deliberately tilted his head back to ask Li Shangxuan, "Is it good?"
Li Shangxuan's childhood name was "Duonan" (meaning "difficult"), which was said to be a humble name so that the child would be easier to raise. She deliberately used a homophone.
Li Shangxuan knew exactly what she was thinking, and said helplessly, "I think it would be better to call her 'Qingqing' or 'Xunxun'."
Yang Qing said, "No way, this is my cat. I can take whatever I want. I'm going to name it Nan Nan."
Li Shangxuan said, "Then why did you ask me that just now?" His smile deepened, and he gently rubbed his lips against her cheek. The sun was shining brightly today, streaming in through the window and illuminating Yang Qing, who was holding the cat.
A thought struck him, and he couldn't help but envy the kitten. How lucky it was to be held in her arms like that, cherished like a precious jewel.
Yang Qing knew she was fickle and had originally resolved not to speak to Li Shangxuan, but upon seeing this kitten, all her previous bold words vanished. Her eyes were filled with the fluffy, adorable little creature, and her anger had long since dissipated.
Li Shangxuan is truly despicable!
In the following days, she couldn't bring herself to be rude to Li Shangxuan. Although she still ignored him, he was incredibly good at getting things done. He not only brought her delicious food and toys, but also brought delicious food and toys for the kitten.
The little cat, who had never seen the world, was even less resolute than Yang Qing. She almost began to suspect that it had fallen for Li Shangxuan more than it had for herself.
Having already stayed here for four or five days, Yang Qing knew it was because of her foot injury. She had told him yesterday that whether they were traveling by boat or carriage, she would not be allowed to walk on her own and that there was no need to stop for her.
Li Shangxuan said, "Wasn't it because the journey was bumpy that I was worried you'd get hurt?"
He reached out and pinched Yang Qing's face, thinking that she looked better the way she was now. He wondered what kind of suffering she had endured when she was kidnapped from the capital, that she had become so thin.
It doesn't matter if we can't catch Granny Zhao. When he gets back, we'll definitely give the Prince Ning's mansion a good beating.
Why did you eat so little this morning?
Yang Qing said, "That bun is full of fatty meat, it's so greasy, I don't want to eat it."
She only ate a small portion, leaving the rest for Li Shangxuan.
However, she wasn't hungry; she ate several pieces of pastry when she got back.
The post station was small, and the food it provided was naturally not very good. It was also quite a distance from the city, making it difficult to go out and buy things.
Li Shangxuan said, "Alright, we've been delayed in Xuzhou for too long."
Yang Qing asked, "Are you leaving?"
Li Shangxuan touched her face: "Didn't you want to go to your brother-in-law's? I think what you said makes some sense. I'll send you there tomorrow, and you can return to the capital after you've recovered."
Yang Qing was slightly stunned.
Li Shangxuan pinched her nose: "Don't overthink it. I only said that you can stay at your brother-in-law's house for a while, but I didn't say that I wouldn't marry you."
He lowered his head to find Yang Qing's lips, kissed them briefly, and then continued, "You must marry me."
Yang Qing said, "Shameless."
Li Shangxuan said, "Fine, I'll do as you say, and you still scold me."
Yang Qing couldn't escape at all. He easily grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, and patted her buttocks in a very flirtatious manner.
Yang Qing's face turned red, she couldn't tell if it was from anger or embarrassment, but she was afraid that if she continued to scold him, he would do something else, so she could only swallow her words and express her accusation to him with her eyes.
Seeing her trembling with anger, Li Shangxuan chuckled softly, then gently nibbled on her soft, white earlobe before releasing her. He then whispered in her ear, "Ah Xun, we won't see each other for at least a month and a half this time. Aren't you even a little bit reluctant to part?"
Yang Qing wanted to say: Not even a little bit.
But before she could speak, his lips were sealed shut, and she could only make muffled whimpering sounds.
＊＊＊＊
Although it was only once this time, it felt even better than the last two times.
Since it was the first time, he was afraid of hurting her by using too much force, and he was also concerned about her foot injury.
Today, however, he realized that Yang Qing, even if she was only slightly in pain, would exaggerate it to the extreme in front of him, and that he couldn't completely trust what she said.
Thinking of the woman's panting and moaning, and seeing her shy, pink face, if time hadn't been so tight, he really wanted to drag Yang Qing along for another round.
But then she thought better of it. If two people are truly in love, why should they be together every day? They have plenty of time ahead of them. If they make too much of a fuss today, it won't be good if others notice.
She was clearly still not recovered. Li Shangxuan kissed her face and touched her full breasts, thinking how adorable she was. But he couldn't help but tease her, saying, "It really is time to separate. Otherwise, when we go back, I'm afraid she'll be a slender girl when she came out, but a chubby girl when we return. My parents-in-law will probably resent me to death."
Yang Qing was indeed angry. Her mind was filled with the words "fat girl" and "father-in-law and mother-in-law". Her eyebrows furrowed. "Since you dislike her, then let go of her now."
This guy is shameless! He kept saying she was fat while he kept touching her all over.
