When Pei Yan heard this, a slight blush flashed across his face.
But Song Huan was crying with her head down, feeling very aggrieved, and had no time to pay attention to Pei Yan's expression.
Pei Yan leaned over, approaching Song Huan little by little, and lifted Song Huan's chin with his slender fingers. His gaze fell on her tear-filled eyes, as if he was trying to find out whether what she had just said was true or false.
Song Huan was forced to look up and suddenly stopped sobbing.
What does this guy want to do?
Could it be that just because she said she wanted to consummate the marriage...this guy wanted to strangle her to death?
She still remembered the cannon fodder female supporting character in the book who had her eyes gouged out and her legs chopped off by this guy because she coveted Pei Yan's body...
Song Huan's breath hitched, and his calves began to tremble uncontrollably. He said decisively, "Actually... no, it's okay not to consummate the marriage."
As long as the boss doesn't get upset and twist her neck, it'll be fine.
Pei Yan's eyebrows knitted unconsciously when he heard this, and he was a little dissatisfied: "Huh? What did you say?"
Song Huan paused, unsure of what he meant. "How about...it's up to you?"
Pei Yan curled his lips slightly, looking at Song Huan with a half-smile. "My lady was so sincere just now. As a husband, how could I possibly disrespect her..."
After he finished speaking, he stroked Song Huan's chin twice with his fingertips, and then slowly moved towards her slender neck...
The cold touch made Song Huan feel a numbness on the neck of his destiny, as if it would break at any time.
She suddenly raised her hands and tightly grasped Pei Yan's hand that was wandering around her neck.
Pei Yan half-closed his eyes and approached Song Huan without changing his expression. "Madam, what do you mean?"
Song Huan: “…” She just didn’t want to die yet.
She cried out "Ah!", "My Lord, why are your hands so cold? Let me warm them up for you first!"
Pei Yan: "It's a little cold, thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Song Huan hurriedly shook his head, "It's not hard, it's what I should do."
At this moment, Song Huan couldn't help but feel fortunate that it was winter, allowing her to use such a poor excuse to delay the deadline of her death.
But this method can only delay for a while, but it cannot save you forever.
Song Huan thought she had only been warm for half a minute, so Pei Yan said, "I have a naturally cold body, so I'm afraid it won't be warm for a while. Besides, I think it might be faster if you get into bed and warm me."
Song Huan's heart skipped a beat: "My Lord, you just woke up. The doctor told you not to overwork before he left. Why don't we wait until later..."
"I'm not tired." Pei Yan uttered a few words lightly, picked up Song Huan from the ground, and held him horizontally.
Song Huan's body suddenly flew into the air, and her heart instantly rose to her throat. Pei Yan turned around and placed Song Huan on the bed, pressing down on her. "Just now, Madam said she wanted to consummate the marriage. What? Are you afraid now?"
Song Huan: “…”
Does this guy really...really want to consummate the marriage?
Don't you want to strangle her fate?
If that's the case...why is it that she feels a little bit of anticipation and resistance at the same time?
Song Huan felt puzzled, she had never been so pretentious before.
Never mind.
If you stick your head out, you will get a knife; if you keep your head down, you will also get a knife.
Completing tasks and earning life points is the most important thing!
"Don't be afraid!" Song Huan closed his eyes and waited for Pei Yan's next move.
However... after a long while, the weight on her suddenly disappeared.
Song Huan opened his eyes and saw only Pei Yan's back as he turned and left.
Before leaving the room, Pei Yan paused and said to Song Huan in a deep voice, "Go to sleep peacefully and don't keep thinking about useless things."
Song Huan: “???”
She had a bold guess...
If you think about it carefully, the description of Pei Yan teasing the heroine in the book is also a bit strange.
At that time, the heroine was taken back to Pei Yan's residence in Ning County, and she had not yet fallen in love with the hero.
Pei Yan saved her life and ordered people to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, when Pei Yan got drunk and wanted to molest her, although the heroine resisted in her heart, she did not actually make any move to refuse him.
On the contrary, it was Pei Yan... He suddenly retreated when he was kissing the heroine, and fled when he was about to kiss the beauty.
That's why this guy has never been close to women...
I’m afraid it’s not possible?
Song Huan was a little panicked.
If she guessed right, wouldn't it be impossible to complete the task of "consummating the marriage" in this lifetime?
This means that she can only rely on kisses and hugs to survive every day, and she will never have the chance to stay away from this guy?
Song Huan instantly felt disheartened, and wrapped himself in the quilt with a wronged look on his face, and then... began to hit the system in various ways.
Song Huan cried with every word: "Your false favorability has caused me deep hurt..."
Thankfully, the system was understanding this time: "Dear, once all functions and data on this system are restored, we'll give you appropriate health points as compensation."
Song Huan's eyes lit up, "How much health points do you want to compensate?"
"When will you fully recover?"
"Oh, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's really insecure that you, as a system, actually got a virus."
System: "...Dear, this was purely an accident."
Song Huan: "What accident?"
System: "This system is not convenient to disclose the specific reasons. Dear, please do not ask any more questions."
Song Huan said cheerfully, "Sure, just give me some extra life points as compensation, and I won't ask any more questions."
System: "Dear, the specific amount of health points replenished depends on the decision of your administrator."
When it comes to the administrator, Song Huan feels helpless.
Before sending her here, the administrator always explained the rules to her with a smile and seemed quite kind.
As a result, after she arrived, no matter how she made trouble or threatened, her administrator never showed up again. There was only a semi-intelligent system that often went offline to annoy her.
Song Huan became even more depressed when he thought that Pei Yan might not be able to do it.
"...Anyway, it's too little. I won't agree to it."
"At worst, I'll just die. Every extra day is a gain anyway. If the numbers don't satisfy me, then I won't bother with the remaining two or three months. I'll just use the remaining time to enjoy life."
"I don't even want the remaining chance to be reborn. When we meet at the transfer station, just let me die."
"Ah! Life is so tiring! I don't want to live anymore!"
System: "...Dear, please calm down."
"Don't worry, the numbers will be quite reasonable."
"Let's talk about it after the results come out."
In order to express his sorrow, Song Huan responded quite coldly.
Then she closed the conversation and opened the daily task page to collect today's health points.
"The 'Daily Say' mission has been completed."
"The 'Daily Hug' mission has been completed."
"'Daily Kiss' Mission..."
Completed?
It seems like she didn’t kiss Pei Yan today...she just did artificial respiration?
Song Huan suddenly had another bold guess in his mind.
This system can't even discern the difference between a "kiss" and "artificial respiration." Could it be that... its "marriage consummation" is just superficial? Does simply sleeping in the same bed for one night count as "marriage consummation"?
Song Huan was delighted. If they just simply slept in the same bed for one night... that would be much simpler than "consummating the marriage"!
......
After Pei Yan left the room, he came to the lobby of the inn, walked through the kitchen and entered the backyard of the inn.
Pei Chen had just sent him a telepathic message and was now waiting in the backyard.
"master."
Pei Yan frowned, "Confessed? Who sent them?"
"My lord, they claim to be the bandits who were strangled by their brothers a few days ago. They came here to avenge their elder brother. In my opinion, they have no connection with the people in the capital."
Pei Yan pondered after hearing this, "Have you interrogated everything clearly?"
"Not one is left out."
The light in Pei Yan's eyes flickered. After a moment, he said, "So, are they content?"
Pei Chen nodded, not daring to reply.
"Then I won't wait any longer."
There is no way those people in the capital would be so obedient. If they had not taken action in Fengyuan Town, they would probably have released the person to Ning County.
Pei Yan said, "Pass the order down and set off in three days."
Pei Chen: "Yes, Master."
"The lady..."
Pei Yan paused for a moment, "Let her stay in Fengyuan Town for a few more days. When I leave, you and Steward Pei will take people to send her back to the capital."
Pei Chen accepted the order.
After Pei Yan left, Pei Chen passed the order on.
However, when he told Butler Pei about the Marquis's order, Butler Pei just smiled and said, "As for Pei Chen, just wait and see. Who knows, maybe Madam will follow the Marquis to Ning County in three days."
Pei Chen: "What do you mean, Butler Pei?"
Butler Pei stroked his beard and said, "Do you remember the battle we fought with our master in Southern Xinjiang eight years ago?"
Pei Chen nodded, a look of pain flashing across his face: "Remember."
He was still young at the time, unable to follow the Marquis into battle. However, the army had been out of rations for two weeks, and the city was also short of food, with hundreds starving to death every day...
Steward Pei patted him on the shoulder. "Back then, the master used delaying tactics. Although they weren't particularly clever, the master understood their intentions and managed to stall them. He delayed for one day, then two, and finally, the food and fodder arrived. He also managed to turn that small country in Southern Xinjiang into a fiefdom of our dynasty."
But it is precisely because of this that the master has become another thorn in the heart of the current emperor.
Butler Pei sighed, "Old man, I'm hoping that Madam can understand the Marquis's intentions and can hold off for three days. Perhaps she can go to Ning County with the master."
......
When Pei Yan returned to the room, Song Huan was sleeping soundly.
The quilt that had originally wrapped her round and smooth body had somehow fallen apart, with half of it falling to the ground. She curled up in the bed, looking extremely petite.
Pei Yan walked to the bed and picked up the quilt that had fallen on the ground. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Song Huan's fair and delicate profile, and her beautiful red lips that were tempting and delicious.
He lifted a corner of the quilt and got into bed.
A cold breath instantly swept through the entire bed, and Song Huan's back stiffened.
Oh my god, why is Pei Yan so repetitive? Why did he come back again?
