Chapter 70 The Two with a Perverse Interest
"You lied to me!" Ye Wanning sat in a chair, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds. Su Wenzhen was standing beside her, looking aggrieved as he massaged her back.
"Hey, be gentle here, but to the side... to the side, a little heavier, yes, that's it." Ye Wanning yawned comfortably.
Cui'er stood aside, secretly laughing. These two really were sworn enemies.
After massaging for a while, seeing that Ye Wanning seemed to be in a better mood, Su Wenzhen pouted and asked cautiously, "Wife, is it comfortable?"
"Hmm..." Ye Wanning half-closed her eyes, feeling somewhat drowsy, "Not bad, but the technique needs improvement."
Seeing Ye Wanning's satisfied expression, Su Wenzhen quickly coaxed, "Since my wife is comfortable, can I..."
"Hmm?" Before she could finish speaking, Ye Wanning shot her a sharp look. "What did you mean by that?"
Startled by Ye Wanning, Su Wenzhen choked and couldn't say anything. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as my wife is comfortable."
"Good girl." Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow and smiled with satisfaction.
After being massaged for a while, Ye Wanning felt much more comfortable seeing Su Wenzhen. She looked at the jade pendant on the table and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
"I found it at your door." Su Wenzhen blinked, looking like she didn't believe him at all.
Ye Wanning nodded, thinking that this guy probably wouldn't lie to her. After a pause, she said again, "Tell me if you find anything in the future, okay?"
"I know." Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning with some grievance. "I didn't think this jade pendant was anything special, so I assumed it was dropped by one of the servants and didn't tell you."
"This jade isn't anything special, but it holds great significance for me," Ye Wanning sighed softly. "Someone gave it to me."
"Oh?" Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the significance of this jade pendant?" It seemed that Wanning didn't know the meaning of this jade pendant. Su Wenzhen smiled, thinking that this was a good opportunity to get the jade pendant.
"It's just..." Ye Wanning bit her lip, as if recalling some painful memory. She looked at Su Wenzhen, her eyes becoming a little moist, "Do you still remember that little palace maid who served us in the palace last time?"
Su Wenzhen was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning, "You mean..."
“Yes…” Ye Wanning sniffed, “This jade pendant is hers. She died for me, and I felt guilty, so I thought of helping her fulfill her long-cherished wish. This was given to me by her friend in the palace.”
Su Wenzhen paused. If that's what she meant, then Qiu Shan must be Liu Xuan's sister? After a long while, he finally spoke, "Then, my lady, you mean..."
"Help her find her relatives and let her return to her ancestral home!" Ye Wanning said firmly.
After saying this, Ye Wanning turned her head and noticed that Su Wenzhen looked somewhat troubled. She was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Wenzhen, what's wrong?"
After hesitating for a while, Su Wenzhen finally spoke up: "Speaking of this jade pendant, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
"Really!" Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly moved closer to Su Wenzhen, asking, "Where have you seen me before?"
It was rare to see Ye Wanning like this, and Su Wenzhen couldn't help but feel playful. He looked at Ye Wanning and said in a tone full of grievance, "I was so tired from massaging my wife's back just now that I don't have the mind to think about anything else."
Ye Wanning's lips twitched. She rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth, and looked at Su Wenzhen. "I'll endure it!" she thought. Then, she gently lifted Su Wenzhen's arm and began to massage it, asking softly as she did so, "How is it? Does it feel any better?"
Su Wenzhen couldn't stop laughing at Ye Wanning's actions, and said smugly, "So comfortable, so comfortable, my wife is the best."
"Really?" Ye Wanning smiled, leaned close to Su Wenzhen's ear and said in a sinister tone, "You know I'm the best, so..." As she spoke, Ye Wanning pinched Su Wenzhen's arm hard, "Then will you tell me or not!"
"Ah! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" Su Wenzhen was in so much pain that tears were almost welling up in his eyes. He hurriedly withdrew his arm and rubbed the spot where Ye Wanning had pinched him, looking like a wronged wife. "Wife, did you have to be so rough?"
Ye Wanning glared at her and said fiercely, "Then will you tell me or not!"
"Tell me, tell me..." Su Wenzhen pouted, feeling wronged, "But... I really don't remember..."
"You!" Ye Wanning gritted her teeth, glaring at Su Wenzhen with annoyance. But seeing his innocent expression, she thought he had no reason to lie to her. After a long while, she calmed down and asked doubtfully, "You really don't remember?"
“Yes.” Su Wenzhen nodded, then looked at Ye Wanning somewhat timidly, “However, if my wife doesn’t mind, you can leave this matter to me… I have a general direction, which is better than my wife searching aimlessly…”
"That makes sense." Ye Wanning nodded with a frown, then paused for a moment, looking at Su Wenzhen with some unease, "Is it really okay to leave it to you?"
"No problem!" Su Wenzhen patted his chest and assured him confidently.
"Alright then." Ye Wanning blinked her eyes and finally agreed.
Seeing that Ye Wanning had finally relented, Su Wenzhen was inexplicably overjoyed. He took advantage of the situation and moved closer to Ye Wanning, looking at her with a grin, "Wife, wife..."
"What's wrong?" Ye Wanning asked casually, tapping the table with her eyes half-closed.
"My wife, my wife..."
"Um?"
"My wife, my wife..."
"..." Could it be that he's done something stupid again? Ye Wanning glanced at Su Wenzhen secretly, but didn't sense anything unusual.
"My wife, my wife..."
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Wanning asked angrily.
"My wife, my wife..."
When forbearance reaches its limit, there's no need to forbear any longer! Ye Wanning opened her eyes, raised her hand, and punched Su Wenzhen in the left eye.
"Ouch! My wife, don't hit my face!" Su Wenzhen covered his left eye and cried out in pain. He looked at Ye Wanning with a wronged expression.
"What are you yelling about?" Ye Wanning frowned and looked at Su Wenzhen, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Are you bored and have nothing better to do?"
"I just wanted to call your name a few times..." Su Wenzhen lowered his head mournfully, not forgetting to cover his left eye.
"What's there to yell about..." Ye Wanning smacked her lips twice. Seeing Su Wenzhen's unusually desolate back, she couldn't help but wonder if she had used too much force.
"If my wife doesn't like it, then I won't call her that..." Su Wenzhen's voice grew softer and softer. He sat heavily in the chair, turned his head away somewhat stubbornly, and refused to look at Ye Wanning.
Seeing this, Ye Wanning's heart softened immediately. She stepped forward and gently patted Su Wenzhen's shoulder, "Wenzhen, let me take a look..."
"No way!" Su Wenzhen said defiantly.
"Can I just take a look?" Seeing that Su Wenzhen still didn't react, Ye Wanning had no choice but to plead, "Wenzhen!"
Su Wenzhen snorted and shook his head, but after a few seconds, he immediately replied, "If you want to see, you must grant me one request, my wife!"
"Huh?" Ye Wanning was taken aback, looking at Su Wenzhen with some confusion. "What conditions?"
Su Wenzhen turned his head and chuckled twice, "Wife, give me a big kiss and I'll show you!"
Ye Wanning's lips twitched, and she stammered, "Wh...what...what does 'a heavy kiss' mean..."
"It was a really, really intense kiss!" Su Wenzhen said with a smile.
Ye Wanning sighed, wondering if this girl had really gone mad again. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a sudden noise beside her. Ye Wanning turned her head and found Cui'er standing awkwardly to the side, a stool that she had kicked over. It seemed that the girl had tried to sneak away but accidentally knocked something over.
Seeing Ye Wanning and Su Wenzhen staring at her, Cui'er's heart skipped a beat. Her face flushed as she looked at the two of them and stammered, "Sister... Sister... Sister, you and the Prince continue... I didn't see anything..." With that, she ran away without looking back.
Ye Wanning felt embarrassed and turned her head to see Su Wenzhen laughing so hard he was shaking. She couldn't help but feel anxious and punched him in the right eye.
"Ah!" Another scream rang out. "Wife! Can you please stop hitting my face!"
She glared at Su Wenzhen, who was writhing on the ground in pain. It was all his fault that she had lost face like this! When did she become so wicked?
