Chapter 252 "Pei Jingxu, kiss me."
Rong Xuanzhou came alone.
Pei Jingxu noticed this and looked at Rong Xuanzhou, frowning unconsciously.
——It seemed that she had not seen Bai Shutong’s two children for a long time.
Bai Shutong is now imprisoned in a secret cell. Logically, the two children should be at Rong Xuanzhou's mansion.
The sight that fell on Rong Xuanzhou was caught.
Rong Jianxue stepped forward and blocked Pei Jingxu's sight.
Pei Jingxu slowly came back to her senses. The man in front of her had his back to her, his body straight and tall, easily blocking her view.
Rong Xuanzhou walked in front of everyone and finally took his eyes off Pei Jingxu.
He bowed to the Rong family and said, "Father, Mother."
Nowadays, when people talk about the Rong family, it is no longer just the second son of the Rong family.
Rong Jianxue was so far ahead that compared to him, Rong Xuanzhou's achievements were really nothing to brag about.
Rong's face looked a little embarrassed.
She originally thought that even if Rong Jianxue sent an invitation and said that she wanted to hold a family dinner at the Rong family, Rong Xuanzhou would avoid suspicion and find an excuse to refuse because of his current relationship with Pei Jingxu.
But no one expected that Rong Xuanzhou would actually come.
Pulling the corner of her mouth, Rong nodded and smiled at Rong Xuanzhou: "Is everything all right in the General's Mansion?"
"Mother, everything is fine."
Rong Xuanzhou said this and turned to face Rong Jianxue on the side.
Rong Jianxue is tall and slender, with cold and indifferent eyes.
Nodding slightly towards Rong Jianxue, Rong Xuanzhou said, "Brother, long time no see."
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
For a moment, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Rong smiled hurriedly, grabbed Rong Jianxue's hand and said affectionately, "Jianxue, come quickly. We have prepared your favorite dishes for today's family dinner. Come and take a look."
After saying that, Rong and Rong Baimao stood on either side, surrounding Rong Jianxue in the middle, and walked towards the mansion gate.
Looking at Rong Jianxue walking in front, Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
——I have to say, power is really a good thing.
In the past, the Rong family treated Rong Jianxue well, but they were definitely not as good as Rong Xuanzhou. Now that Rong Jianxue has risen to fame, the Rong couple can't wait to get close to him.
Without thinking any more, Pei Jingxu lifted her skirt and followed Rong Jianxue towards the mansion gate.
But before she could take two steps forward, Rong Xuanzhou's voice came from behind her: "I didn't know Bai Shutong had done so many bad things to you before."
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and turned to look at Rong Xuanzhou behind him.
Just now, she was only thinking about Bai Shutong's two children, and she didn't notice that the green robe Rong Xuanzhou was wearing today seemed... to be the one she embroidered for him that year.
At that time, she and Rong Xuanzhou were not yet husband and wife. After they exchanged engagement letters, Pei Jingxu sat in her boudoir all day, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Seeing this, Rong Xuanzhou looked at her with a smile, "Pei Jingxu, you haven't even gotten married yet, why are you so happy that you can't sleep?"
Pei Jingxu curled her lips unhappily when she heard this: "I've never been married before, so why should I be nervous?"
Rong Xuanzhou looked helpless: "Little Ancestor, you say that as if I've been married before!"
After a pause, the young man's black hair fluttered as he looked at him with a smile: "My family is preparing the betrothal gifts. Pei Jingxu, please embroider a dress for me."
"You wish. My embroidery skills are priceless. Why should I embroider clothes for you?"
Rong Xuanzhou wasn't angry either. He touched his nose and said with a smile, "Father said I wasn't paying attention when practicing martial arts and damaged a lot of clothes. He kept scolding me for being a spendthrift."
"I thought, if the clothes were made by you, I would definitely cherish them and would definitely not damage them."
"So, please, Miss Ah Xu, condescend to me and sew me some clothes!"
“…”
Pei Jingxu had mended many clothes for Rong Xuanzhou, but this was the only piece of clothing that she personally selected the material, made the pattern, and embroidered stitch by stitch.
Now seeing Rong Xuanzhou wearing this dress, it feels like a lifetime ago.
After hearing Rong Xuanzhou's explanation again, Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Too lazy to care.
Pei Jingxu turned around and was about to leave.
"What if, what if Bai Shutong wasn't there!" The man behind him seemed to have no intention of giving up. He shouted to Pei Jingxu, "What if I returned to Beijing safely, what if I didn't bring Bai Shutong back with me, would we still be the same as before?"
Pei Jingxu couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
"I heard that three days after you faked your death, you sent a letter to your mother-in-law and father-in-law, telling them that you were safe and that faking your death was just a temporary solution."
Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly, widened his eyes, and opened his mouth to explain something.
Before he could speak, Pei Jingxu sneered and continued, "Rong Xuanzhou, you clearly knew that the news of my death in battle would devastate me, but you still chose to conceal it. Why?"
Pei Jingxu covered his mouth, feigning surprise. "Could it be that you already had a beautiful woman in your arms at the time, and in your heart, I, your wife through thick and thin, was not worthy of your time and effort?"
"No!" Rong Xuanzhou's pupils constricted, and he took a panicked step forward. "I, I'm just worried that the more people know the truth, the worse it will be for our plan."
Pei Jingxu laughed even more sarcastically upon hearing this: "You can tell your mother-in-law and father-in-law, you can tell Bai Shutong and her children who have nothing to do with you, even the maids in the mansion will know that you faked your death to escape."
"Now you say that there is someone like me who knows the truth?"
If he admitted that she was not in his heart, Pei Jingxu might even think more highly of him.
Now it seems that he is a habitual liar and has no sincerity at all.
——Of course, Pei Jingxu doesn’t need his sincerity.
"Ah Xu, you and I were in love since childhood. Are you really going to break up with me because of these things?"
Rong Xuanzhou said, tugging at his sleeve. "Look, this is the clothes you made for me personally. I still treasure it!"
"Then take it off."
What Pei Jingxu wanted to say was spoken out loudly by a cold male voice behind him.
Pei Jingxu felt a chill on her back and turned around, and the man grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.
She and Rong Jianxue stood on the stone steps outside the mansion gate.
Rong Xuanzhou stood not far away and looked up at the person who came.
She saw the hands that fell on her waist.
Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand?" Rong Jianxue tightened her grip on Pei Jingxu's waist and said calmly, "I'm saying, right now, outside the mansion, you have to take off this dress before you can enter."
Rong Xuanzhou pursed his lips and said, "Brother, we've been friends for many years. Do you really want to do something so ruthless?!"
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, but turned slightly to face Pei Jingxu.
Pei Jingxu felt a little guilty because Rong Jianxue interrupted him.
One hand clasped her waist tightly, forcing her to let out a soft cry and look up at him.
In front of Rong Xuanzhou, Rong Jianxue raised her chin slightly and looked down at her: "Kiss me."
Pei Jingxu widened her eyes as the man embraced her. She gently pushed him away, saying, "There are outsiders here. Can we go back?"
If it were any other day, Rong Jianxue might have appreciated her words and forgiven her a little.
But now, he won't.
Tightening the grip on her waist, Rong Jianxue almost lifted her waist, and the distance between them gradually closed: "Pei Jingxu, now, kiss me."
