Chapter 170: Can I give you an imperial decree?
She distanced herself from him in an attempt to hide her differences.
His finger bones tightened slightly, and Rong Jianxue looked down at her condescendingly.
The vague gazes of the male guests around them all fell vaguely on the two of them.
——He didn't care much about those gazes.
Rather, he was very good at it and secretly hoped that those eyes would fall on them.
Made for each other.
He pursed his thin lips, and after a while, Rong Jianxue straightened his back again.
"Come on, follow me to see Xuanzhou."
He complied with her "request" and took her away from there.
Everyone in the guest seats watched the two leave the tent. They were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, but dared not say anything.
Not long after the two walked out of the tent, a hand grabbed Pei Jingxu's wrist and pulled her into his arms!
Pei Jingxu screamed, but as if he was worried about being discovered by others, he covered his mouth belatedly.
The man above her head sneered and covered her with his wide robe.
The broad, cool hand stroked her wrist bone, as if trying to remove all the warmth that Rong Xuanzhou had just left on her wrist bone.
Her fair and delicate skin was as smooth as petals covered with morning dew. His fingertips caressed it, easily turning the skin on her wrist bone red.
He pressed her against the corner of the enclosure.
Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and said softly: "It hurts..."
Rong Jianxue raised his chin slightly and looked at her without any emotion. He only stopped when the entire wrist bone was rubbed red by him.
There was a smell of alcohol on her, which was left by Rong Xuanzhou.
It makes him irritable.
His eyes fell on the corner of her lips.
Then he stretched out his thumb, rubbed the lip balm on her lips, and touched the corner of her lips.
The originally bright and beautiful red lips looked a little disheveled and full of seductiveness because of his smearing.
Pei Jingxu looked confused and met the man's eyes in a panic: "Husband..."
Before she even said it.
The man pressed his hand on her lower lip with a little force, as if reminding her of something.
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he changed his address: "Jun Mou..."
"Um."
He responded without being able to discern his emotions, and the bright red lip balm smeared on the corners of her lips and on the tip of his thumb.
The red spot on the fingertips slowly moved up along her cheek and was applied to the corners of her eyes.
The corners of the eyes are scarlet.
Pei Jingxu's long eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at him with eyes as misty as water: "The lip balm is smudged..."
The man's gaze moved slightly, slowly moving down along her eyebrows, landing on her messy lips, and then on her barely visible skin and collarbone.
——He knew Rong Xuanzhou didn’t kiss her.
But that didn't stop him from being angry.
Rong Jianxue moved her eyes and said indifferently, "Well, I'll compensate you when I get back."
It was dusk, and the two of them were in the corner, not very noticeable.
There were occasional people passing by, and Pei Jingxu subconsciously tensed her body and grabbed the man's sleeve.
The man had no intention of letting her go just like that.
The black hair was entangled with the woman's black hair, bringing the two closer together.
"I helped you collect your debt today and won the game, but you haven't thanked me yet."
The man's voice was low and deep, like a charming enchantress as night fell, patiently and gently persuading her.
Pei Jingxu lowered his head and said softly and carefully: "Thank you..."
"Just that?"
Pei Jingxu bit her cherry lips lightly. She looked around cautiously and stood on tiptoe when there was no one around.
With one hand pulling the man's sleeve and with the other hand holding his waist, she placed a kiss on the corner of his lips as light as a dragonfly touching the water.
"Thank you, sir..."
——She always seemed to know how to arouse his attention.
Rong Jianxue raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes flickered under his cold brows, with emotions surging.
Without allowing her to evade, the man grabbed her lower back with one hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, you haven't said it's over yet."
As he spoke, he held her waist, bent her down, and forced her to look up to deepen the kiss.
The lip balm that had already been spent was in a mess. The remaining bright red color moved to the man's thin lips, and the bright red color made him look like a fairy who sucked people's essence.
The originally upright and dignified gentleman's temperament changed because of the lip balm mark at the corner of his lips.
Until all the air in her mouth was snatched away, Pei Jingxu pushed the man in front of her away in panic, her ears turned red and her eyes were blurred with tears.
"We'll be seen..." Pei Jingxu lowered her head and buried it in the man's chest, her voice muffled and helpless.
Rong Jianxue raised his chin, wiped the lip balm from the corner of his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms with a gloomy expression.
His voice was hoarse, and he chuckled lightly, with a rare nonchalant tone: "I'm teaching you how to breathe, haven't you learned it yet?"
"Rong Jianxue..." Pei Jingxu tugged at the man's sleeve in embarrassment and panic, "Stop talking..."
The corners of his lips finally curled up into a faint smile.
"His Majesty told me that if you want to make any request, you can tell him." After a pause, Rong Jianxue looked at her and whispered, "What do you want?"
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "You won that, why are you asking me?"
Rong Jianxue stroked the woman's wrist, his tone cold: "What I want, I can get it myself, I don't need the emperor's reward."
This is really a bit arrogant.
Pei Jingxu rolled his eyes and said, "Ah Xu doesn't want anything either. You can decide for yourself."
The movement of stroking her wrist bones paused slightly, and Rong Jianxue leaned over and whispered in her ear with a hoarse voice, "How about I give you a decree?"
Buzz——
Pei Jingxu's mind buzzed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
She even thought she had misheard and blinked with a look of confusion in her eyes.
The man's eyes flickered, one of his hands still covering her waist, pinching her waist: "My decree."
Finally reacting, Pei Jingxu swallowed nervously and said softly, "Stop joking..."
The hand on the lower back slowly tightened.
"Do you want the imperial edict, or do you want my imperial edict?"
Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, his voice awkward and strained, "Sir, do you think that if Ah Xu were to receive the imperial decree in his current situation, would he be ridiculed and humiliated by the world?"
The man's eyes wandered over her body.
He spoke in a low voice with a cold tone: "Then wait a little longer."
"It's yours after all."
…
Rong Jianxue took Pei Jingxu back to the tent, re-applied lip balm on her messy lips, and then stopped.
Inside the tent, before Pei Jingxu could say anything else, he heard Jiang Hui's voice coming from outside the door.
"Master, this is bad! The Second Young Master got drunk and insisted on practicing swordplay. I left for a while, and when I came back, the Second Young Master had injured his arm. He's now in the tent, asking the imperial physician to bandage and treat him!"
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly upon hearing this and stood up: "How is his injury?"
"I don't know either, but the Second Young Master is lying in bed, unconscious with a high fever, and he keeps shouting that he wants to see... he wants to see the Second Lady..."
