55. Chapter 55: Embarrassment
He said he wanted to deepen it, but in fact he didn't know how. After the light touch, he unconsciously extended the tip of his tongue to savor her sweetness. He outlined the shape of her lips, and got closer to her little by little. He couldn't even hold back and probed between her lips and teeth.
In her sleep, Xiaoxiao unconsciously let out a "hmm." Pei Xiuhan subconsciously held his breath before removing his lips. Thinking of waking her and potentially meeting her terrified gaze, Pei Xiuhan regained some of his composure.
He moved his lips away, but his eyes unconsciously fell on her lips. After being kissed by him, the girl's delicate and tempting lips were shining with water, looking even more alluring.
Pei Xiuhan's eyes darkened a little. For a moment, he felt that letting her live in Suyuexuan was a mistake. He had ultimately overestimated his own control.
He took a deep breath and placed another kiss on her forehead, this one tinged with apology. He felt like a complete traitor for taking advantage of her before they were even married.
The next day, when Xiaoxiao woke up, she found that she had fallen asleep in bed without knowing when. She suddenly remembered her dream and couldn't help but touch her lips.
Her cheeks were red, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. The little man in her heart couldn't help but scream and buried her little face in the pillow. She actually dreamed that Brother Pei kissed her.
It wasn't just a light kiss that swept away the syrup from the corner of her lips, but a real kiss. He even licked her lips. Xiaoxiao's heart beat very fast.
She was so embarrassed that she could hardly raise her head. She had no idea why she had such a dream. She was not syrup, so how could Brother Pei lick her?
Could it be that she actually longed to be treated like this by Brother Pei? That's why she thought about it day and dreamed about it night?
Xiaoxiao's eyes widened unconsciously, she was a little scared, and her little face was red as blood.
She whimpered and buried herself completely in the quilt, almost unable to raise her head in shame.
Because she went to bed early, Xiaoxiao woke up early too. In fact, if she got up at this time, she would definitely be able to see Brother Pei. However, Xiaoxiao did not dare to get up. She was afraid to face him. When she thought of that dream, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide.
If Brother Pei knew that she had dreamed about him like this, she wondered if he would think she was shameless.
Xiaoxiao was filled with guilt, but when she thought of the feeling of being kissed by him, her heart began to beat again. She really liked him so much. She liked him so much that just thinking of him made her heart feel weird.
Xiaoxiao hid in the quilt for an hour, and then fell asleep in a daze. She woke up at dawn, and when she woke up, Brother Pei had indeed left the house.
Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She spent a whole day preparing herself mentally before she finally stopped herself from recalling the dream.
After adjusting her mindset, she took out the jade pendant and planned to give it to Brother Pei when he came back in the evening.
Unexpectedly, she still didn't see him that night. In the evening, he asked his servant to tell her to have dinner early and not to wait for him at night, as he might stay in the palace.
Xiaoxiao was inexplicably disappointed that she couldn't give the jade pendant away.
The next day was the full moon ceremony for the little girl from the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion are old friends, so Mu Wen and Mu Xi were naturally among the invited guests. Knowing that Xiaoxiao must have been invited as well, they went directly to Guxing Street, intending to pick up Xiaoxiao to go with them.
After arriving at Guxing Street, the two found that there was no one in the courtyard. Yang Chen's servant heard the noise and came out to take a look. He recognized the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at a glance and knew that they were looking for Xiaoxiao. He hurriedly told them about Xiaoxiao's move to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Mu Wen didn't think much about it after hearing this, but Mu Xi's eyes narrowed unconsciously. From here to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, they happened to pass by the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so the two of them went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion again.
Just as Xiaoxiao was about to ask the servant to prepare the carriage, she heard the maid say that Mu Wen and Mu Xi had arrived and were waiting for her at the door. Xiaoxiao took the longevity lock and went out. Seeing them, she smiled and said, "You came so early. I was just about to look for you."
Mu Xi said, "I wanted to go to your place first to pick a watermelon to eat, and then go to the Anguo Mansion, but who would have thought you would move back to the Prince's Mansion."
Xiaoxiao uttered an "ah" and smiled shyly. "My brother went to fight bandits, and Brother Pei was worried about me, so he asked me to move in. I just moved in, and I haven't had time to tell you that the watermelon I sent you the day before yesterday is finished?"
When Xiaoxiao left the courtyard, she picked all the remaining watermelons and sent three to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Mu Wen said, "There are many people in the mansion. If you give me a piece, it will be gone. The watermelon is so sweet. We still want to eat more. We simply left a little earlier. Who would have thought that you were not in the courtyard."
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I should have told you earlier. All the watermelons in the yard have been picked. If you still want some, we can come back early this afternoon and buy some on the street. I'll plant more next year."
That's all we can do.
As they were talking, they arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion unknowingly.
After the three of them got off the carriage, a servant came to greet them and personally led the way for them.
Led by the servant, they went directly to the second room. After arriving at the second room, Xiaoxiao found that not only the wife of Duke Anguo was there, but also Old Madam Zhang.
There are many boys but few girls in the family. Old Mrs. Zhang has several grandsons but only one granddaughter, Mo Shuang. She has always been looking forward to having another granddaughter, but now she has a great-granddaughter first. She is so happy that her eyes and eyebrows are full of smiles.
She held the little girl in her arms and was teasing her, calling her "little darling".
Several ladies had already come into the room and were all praising the little girl.
The little girl is exactly one month old. Her cheeks are not as wrinkled as when she was just born. Her little face is rosy and she is really cute.
Xiaoxiao and the others had someone present a gift and say a few flattering words. A few more noble ladies arrived one after another, and the atmosphere was getting lively. Suddenly, a servant came running in, pissing his pants. He stammered, "Old Madam, Fifth Master, he's here."
Mo Chuan hadn't set foot in the second house for more than ten years, so it was no wonder that the servant was so scared.
Back then, when the old lady refused to let Xue Ji enter the house, Mo Chuan's second brother supported the old lady very much. He had always been jealous of his eldest brother being able to inherit the position of Duke, and at that time he had the intention of sowing discord between them.
Without his instigation, his eldest brother would not have been sent to the battlefield. Mo Chuan naturally saw through his calculations. He not only resented the old lady, but also resented his second brother over the years. This was why he was full of resentment.
Hearing the servant's words, the old lady's hands couldn't help but tremble, and the baby in her arms almost fell out. Fortunately, the wife of the Duke of Anguo was nearby and quickly hugged the child.
The old lady looked pale, not knowing why he came.
Everyone else looked at each other in confusion, obviously not understanding how Mo Chuan's mere appearance could scare the old lady so much.
The next moment, Mo Chuan pushed the wheelchair to the second room.
Although he could not see clearly, he did not bump into anything along the way and walked straight in, pushing his wheelchair.
The man was tall, with strong features and a pair of eyes that were always dark. Even when sitting in a wheelchair, he looked imposing.
The moment he appeared, Xiaoxiao unconsciously tightened her grip on Muxi's arm, feeling that he was indeed a bit fierce.
In fact, it wasn't just Xiaoxiao. Everyone in the room could tell that he had ill intentions. His eyes seemed to be filled with thorns. Although he couldn't see anything, his eyes were full of violence, as if he could explode at any moment. It was quite creepy.
Lady Anguogong's heart was beating fast. She and the Second Master had been married for a long time, so she naturally knew something about what happened back then. Seeing this evil spirit suddenly appear at the baby's full-month ceremony, she was a little scared. She quickly put the baby on the bed and covered her small body with a quilt.
She forced a smile and said gently, "Fifth brother, are you here for a drink? Why didn't you tell me before you came? I can ask someone to show you the way. The men are all in the front yard."
What she meant was clearly that Mo Chuan had come to the wrong place. This was the backyard, and logically speaking, Mo Chuan should not have come here.
Mo Chuan ignored her completely. His expression was cold from beginning to end. He raised his head and looked towards the position above him, as if he could see something.
Mrs. Zhang was really afraid that he would do something reckless. Her eyelids twitched involuntarily, but she suppressed her uneasiness and spoke, "There are only women in the room. What are you doing here?"
She reminded Mo Chuan again that there were outsiders present, hoping that he would be careful.
Hearing her words, Mo Chuan showed a mocking smile on his face. He was handsome, and even though he looked like he wanted to eat someone, he still looked noble and imposing.
He spoke sinisterly, "So what if there are women? I can't see them. So why am I here? Of course, I came to see you."
He was unhappy and didn't want to make them happy. He forced a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. It was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
"I heard there's a new baby girl in the mansion. I came to see if you could smile. I didn't expect you all to actually smile. You treated my eldest brother's children so cruelly, but why are you all so excited about this one? Could it be that this child is born noble?"
When she heard him mention the eldest son's child, Mrs. Zhang's face changed. Over the years, she often dreamed of the eldest son, and he always questioned her in her dreams why she was so cruel.
She wanted Mo Chuan to shut up, but when she met his disgusted gaze, she couldn't muster up any strength. She could only tremble and say, "Mo Chuan! Stop talking nonsense!"
Her voice was trembling.
Mo Chuan tapped the armrest with his slender hands and sneered, "You're afraid too? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being embarrassed in front of everyone? Or are you afraid that Big Brother will be so angry that he'll crawl out of the grave and make you pay with your lives? You even dared to kill an innocent baby back then, so what's there to be afraid of now?"
As soon as he said this, the room fell into silence. No one had expected to hear such a shocking secret, and everyone was stunned.
Xiaoxiao was also stunned and couldn't help but glance at Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang's face was frighteningly pale and her hands were shaking. She seemed to have recalled something and her breathing became rapid. Seeing that the people around her were looking at her curiously, their eyes full of gloating and no one cared about the trouble, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
When she fainted, everyone was scared.
Lady Anguo hurried to support her. Seeing the maid still standing there in a daze, she quickly scolded her, "Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Mo Chuan. Just as she was about to ask him to pay attention to the occasion, she saw him smile coldly and walk away pushing his wheelchair.
Leaving the room feeling awkward.
The guests were tactful enough not to ask any more questions. The wife of Duke Anguo apologized one by one. The old lady fainted, and everyone in the second house was so anxious that they didn't stay for the banquet.
Xiaoxiao, Muwen, and Muxi also left the Anguo Mansion. After getting on the carriage, Muwen was still a little shocked. "Everyone says that this Fifth Master is not a good person. I didn't expect him to dare to say anything. Could it be that the old lady really harmed the eldest child? That's not right. Isn't the master of the mansion not married?"
Xiaoxiao also looked at Muxi curiously.
Mu Xi didn't know much, and seeing them all staring at her eagerly, she said helplessly, "I heard that the master of the mansion had a sweetheart. Because she was from Dajin, she was never recognized by the old lady, so he never married and lived with this woman in Bao Mansion. Later, I heard that he was murdered and the woman disappeared. Could it be that she was killed by the old lady?"
Mu Wen just felt her body was hairy, and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Mu Xi touched his chin and couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at it this way, this Fifth Master is a man of character."
Mu Wen and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh. Since they didn't know what happened back then, they didn't express any opinions.
After Xiaoxiao returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, she no longer thought about this matter. She took out the jade pendant again, not knowing when she could give it away.
She was in a daze when she saw Pei Xiuhan.
The man was dressed in a crimson robe, with the purse Xiaoxiao had given him hanging around his waist. He had returned early. Pei Xiuhan hadn't been trying to avoid her yesterday; he had indeed been busy, and after finishing his work today, he returned home.
When Xiaoxiao saw his figure, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes unconsciously fell on his lips.
Even though two days had passed, she could still recall the feeling of being kissed by him in her dream.
His lips seemed soft and cool.
After realizing what she was thinking, Xiaoxiao's face turned red and she subconsciously wanted to hide.
Pei Xiu Han had already seen her. The little girl was sitting by the window, which was wide open. The little girl's charming face was even more beautiful than Jasmine beside her.
Pei Xiuhan's eyes darkened as he walked towards the little girl. "What are you daydreaming about?"
Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and she licked her lips subconsciously. The pink tip of her tongue flashed by, and Pei Xiuhan's eyes darkened.
