Chapter 200: Desire is hard to satisfy
His face darkened, as if he had thought of a possibility.
When he raised his hand again, his hand was shaking when he knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock"
There were three soft sounds, and the yard seemed particularly empty, without even a hint of response.
Shen Yu's throat rolled over, and he paused at the door for a moment before he mustered up the courage to push it open.
"Xiao Wan..."
He called out softly, and he didn't even notice the fear in his voice. When he came to his senses, he only felt a bitter taste in his throat.
Did she leave?
Just left like that without saying a word?
Not even a proper goodbye?
The hand hanging at his side unconsciously clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. He just lowered his head, and his lonely expression blended into the dark night.
Suddenly, a faint murmur came from the direction of the bed.
Then, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy burst out from his chest.
He strode to the bed and picked up the person who had rolled off the bed.
“You, you didn’t…”
Didn't leave.
Perhaps he was extremely scared, as he didn't even dare to say a few words.
When Wen Wan fell off the bed, her nose hit the edge of the bed. It was already very painful, and she was suddenly caught in Shen Yu's arms. The tip of her nose hit his chest again, and she gasped in pain.
She pushed him in a complaining manner and said aggrievedly, "Let go, let go quickly, my nose hurts."
Shen Yu then distanced himself from her, "I thought... I thought..."
Wen Wan rubbed her nose and heard the slight tremor in his voice before she realized what he was saying.
Then she cupped his cheeks and smiled.
"Why, you thought I left here?"
Shen Yu pursed his lips and said "hmm" in a muffled voice.
Wen Wan pinched his face and smiled heartlessly, "Don't worry, since you promised to let me go, I won't leave without saying goodbye."
"Really?" Shen Yu asked.
Wen Wan nodded and chuckled, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know in the future."
Shen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed her neck greedily and hugged her even tighter.
"Xiao Wan, I found that I overestimated myself a little."
Wen Wan was puzzled, "Why?"
Shen Yu murmured, "I thought I could let you go, but I found that maybe... I can't do it."
Just now, when he thought Wen Wan had left, a bad thought came to his mind.
Why did he let her go?
With his strength, no one could stop him even if he imprisoned her by his side!
In that case, why not... just be the bad guy and keep her?
After saying that, Shen Yu buried his head in her neck and said in a pleading tone: "Xiao Wan, please don't leave, okay?"
In the silence of the room, she did not answer.
The two of them snuggled up to each other, hugging each other with all their strength, burying all their emotions in darkness.
After a long time, Wen Wan raised her head and kissed him gently.
As their breaths intertwined, a hot tear fell on her cheek. The hot touch made her soul tremble.
In an instant, she choked and cried out.
She cried and laughed at the same time, choking and saying, "Silly boy, if you do this, I will really be soft-hearted."
Shen Yu didn't say anything, but turned his head away, avoiding her hand that wanted to wipe it for him.
He didn't know that although there was no light in the room, she could still see his red eyes and the crystal tears hanging in the corners of his eyes with the help of the scattered moonlight outside the window.
That's enough. That's enough.
With a man like this who loves her with all his heart, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
Wen Wan burst into laughter. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, put her arms around his neck, kissed the side of his cheek, and then spread her kiss down along his sharp lines.
That night, she did everything she could to please him.
She seemed to want to use everything to fill the void in his life, and also to fill the unfillable gap deep in her own soul.

There was a loud thunder, and suddenly, heavy rain began to fall.
It was already early morning, but the sky was still gray.
Fortunately, summer rain comes and goes quickly. Around noon, the sky cleared, the haze disappeared, and the sun filled the sky again.
After tossing and turning all night, Wen Wan woke up at noon.
The food was being warmed in the kitchen, but Wen Wan had no appetite. She only drank two mouthfuls of porridge before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
Apart from reporting for duty at the imperial court, Shen Yu had been staying in her small courtyard for the past two days.
Even those young men from aristocratic families who came to learn martial arts were sent away by him. He used a logical excuse, saying that he had no children and had no intention of teaching them martial arts.
Of course, Zhou Lingling, a dog-skin plaster, was not included among the young masters of noble families who were sent away.
Zhou Lingling was, after all, the King of Cang. When Chen Yu refused to let him in, he shamelessly went to the old lady and said that he wanted to deliver some nourishing herbs to the Queen Mother.
Everyone around her was living in a world of intrigue and deception, and they all spoke and acted cautiously, fearing that they would be criticized. Only Zhou Lingling didn't even care about her dignity.
"Sister Xiaowan, I've gradually come to understand some things in the palace these days. As long as I'm still Prince Cang, no matter how I hide, trouble will always come to me."
While Shen Yu was in the study taking care of something, he sat on a small stool and fanned Wen Wan on the couch with a small fan.
When talking about the experiences during this period, he still looks sad.
"Can you believe it? In such a short period of time, I was poisoned three times! I also encountered accidents like frightened horses, a flood, and a collapsed roof beam."
He curled his lips in displeasure.
"I, the King of Cang, don't know how many days I can live. Before, I didn't dare to interact with you in public because I was afraid of causing trouble."
"Now that I think about it, I don't have many days left to live anyway. Instead of being timid and not daring to talk to you, I might as well give up and live one day at a time."
Hearing what he said, Wen Wan glanced at him with sympathy, but didn't know how to comfort him.
She is just an ordinary person with some abilities and abilities. She is not so arrogant as to think that she can change the whole world with her cleverness.
"Sister Xiaowan," Zhou Lingling looked up at her eagerly and whispered, "I heard from Grandma Huang that she will send General Shen to find the remaining Cangqi secret box in two days."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Lingling said pitifully, "Can you help me tell General Shen... to find that thing and hand it over to me? The Queen Mother said that only if I get those things can I sit firmly on the throne of King Cang and save my life."
Only Zhou Lingling, who is so sincere and enthusiastic, would state her purpose so directly.
Fortunately, he met Wen Wan.
Wen Wan raised her hand and rubbed his head, her lips moved, but she finally shook her head slowly.
Zhou Lingling opened her eyes wide, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Why not?"
