Chapter 32 Feeding
Shen Yan clearly felt the girl in his arms stiffen.
Damn it, except for the servants who were forced to come, no one was willing to set foot in her yard. Even if they had something to ask her, most of them would send someone to tell her to go to the main hall.
What kind of evil wind blew today, not only blowing Shen Yan in, but also blowing Ning Li, who had been in love with Shen Yan for many years?
What's more unfortunate is that Ning Li saw her lover hugging her, and heard her words.
Damn it, she was always careful, why did she become more and more outspoken in front of Shen Yan recently?
If her father knew, he would definitely punish her according to the family rules.
Ning Yuan's first reaction was to explain her words.
"I..."
She considered, looking up at the sky, ignoring the fact that she was hanging on Shen Yan.
It was just after the 15th, and the moon in the sky was round, as if the sun had darkened the sky.
"I just remembered the day when the princess held a banquet."
"The whole family is happy, the flowers are in full bloom, and the moon is full, it is for the sake of happiness, you, you must not misunderstand..."
Shen Yan held her in his arms and still had no intention of putting her down. Instead, he walked towards Ning Li.
"Yuanyuan, Miss Ning is a man waiting to be married. Since she has no marriage contract, she naturally doesn't know what happiness means. How could she misunderstand?"
Ning Yuan only then realized that she was still in Shen Yan's arms.
What she should have done at that time was to jump out of Shen Yan's arms instead of trying to explain.
How could she win over Shen Yan in the matter of words?
He said so casually, but he was able to point out her point with a single word.
Ning Li would never publicize her words.
Although it is common for ladies in the upper class to talk about some indecent things in the market, after all, only after experiencing marriage, being personally instructed by the pre-marriage tutor and the candles in the wedding chamber, will they be allowed to truly understand.
Before that, most young ladies had to pretend not to understand even if they vaguely understood, so as to maintain their pure image in front of others.
Not to mention in front of the lover she had loved for many years.
Ning Li blushed slightly.
She said softly, "The princess held a banquet that day and only invited my sister. She didn't send me an invitation. My sister talked about the banquet with Lord Shen, and I naturally couldn't get a word in."
Ning Yuan didn't pay attention to what she was saying. She just tried to let Shen Yan let her go.
However, after struggling to no avail, Shen Yan still refused to let go.
Every time she struggled more violently, he would tighten his grip on her.
His slender fingers could easily hold her firmly.
Seeing that she was inexplicably getting closer to Ning Li, she didn't want to appear in front of Ning Li in such a shy manner.
It seemed that she was relying on Shen Yan's power.
Ning Yuan could only whisper to warn him: "Put me down."
"No."
His voice was as calm and indifferent as usual, with a hint of fear, as if he would not tolerate disobedience.
But somehow, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Ning Yuan was devastated and thought that he probably just couldn't bear to see her live a good life in the world, and had to tease her for fun.
"Shen Yan, why did you have to hold me?" Shen
Yan paused, and said in a voice that could be heard by the three of them: "Because you were injured."
Ning Yuan: ?
When was she injured?
The person concerned said he had no idea.
Seeing the puzzlement in the girl's eyes, he leisurely placed her on the stone bench beside the bamboo forest. When he bent over, he finally lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "You can't say it's because I had sex with you."
The girl's soft white earlobes were immediately dyed red by the warm breath.
"...Why do you want to stay in my house?" She said angrily.
"Probably because I'm a pervert."
"Perverts should look perverted."
...
Didn't she just call him a pervert on the roof? She
wouldn't hold a grudge until now, right?
Ning Li's eyes were locked on the thin white wrist next to Shen Yan's neck.
Under the sleeve of the robe, there was a warm and white jade bracelet, which emitted a faint halo in the moonlight, as if it completely connected the two of them.
After saying that, Shen Yan stood up slowly and calmly, and when facing Ning Li, he resumed his usual reserved and distant demeanor.
"Second Miss Ning, your sister sprained her ankle outside, and I was too lazy to send a greeting card to the mansion, so I took the initiative to carry her over the wall and entered the mansion."
"After all, it was my fault for offending you, I hope you don't mind it."
Ning Yuan was a little surprised.
Eh?
Why did he take all the responsibilities alone?
Ning Li nodded knowingly and lowered her eyes: "Sister, are you seriously injured?"
After growing up, Ning Li seldom talked to her, and almost stopped calling her sister. I don't know why, but tonight she seemed to be trying to show her good will.
Is it because Shen Yan is here?
"...It's not serious. I'm fine."
At this point, Ning Yuan had no choice but to cooperate with Shen Yan's lie.
"You came to see me so late, what's the matter?"
"I... I saw that you didn't eat much for dinner and were always absent-minded, so I brought some snacks and wanted to see you."
Ning Li did come to please Ning Yuan tonight.
She actually didn't have such a big grudge against Ning Yuan. Even when they were young, she was very happy to have a sister who was about the same age as her.
She was not born in the Duke's Mansion.
She remembered that the small courtyard where she lived at first was square, small, and deserted. There were only her mother and her, and her mother would not accompany her every day.
Later, her father took her and her mother into the Duke's Mansion. It was the first time she realized that there could be so many people in a family.
There was a father, a mother, a sister, and later a younger brother.
But her mother seemed to have no room for this sister.
Especially after she knew that she fell in love with Shen Yan at first sight, she tried desperately to make her disappear from this family.
Compared to her sister, she felt that her mother was more important.
After all, Ning Yuan was just her childhood playmate.
Although her mother was a little strong and mean, she was always thinking about her.
If she could really marry into the Shen Mansion under her mother's plan, it would be a happy thing.
It didn't matter if Shen Yan didn't like her.
Anyway, he was so cold to everyone, and he had never heard that he liked anyone else. He even made sarcastic remarks to Ning Yuan, who was betrothed to him since childhood.
But he would marry in the end.
She just wanted to be his wife.
But when he threw himself into the water without hesitation at the riverside in the rainstorm, she felt that her dream was completely gone.
She was wrong.
Ning Yuan might be the woman he hated the most, but at least he really treated her as a vivid woman.
Not like her, who was dispensable air.
Even the first time he cast his eyes on her was because her mother threw Ning Yuan into the river.
She knew at that time that she probably could not become his wife.
But fortunately, the woman in his eyes was Ning Yuan, her only sister.
As the saying goes, those who are close to someone get the moon first. Ning Yuan is the eldest daughter after all. She has eased her relationship with Ning Yuan, and it is not wrong for her to enter the Shen Mansion as a concubine in the future.
Tonight, she came here without telling her mother.
If her mother knew that she was willing to be a concubine under Ning Yuan, she would probably poke her on the head and scold her for not living up to her expectations.
Ning Li put the food box on the stone table, opened it diligently, and quietly raised her eyes to look at Shen Yan: "Master Shen can also try it."
Shen Yan stood still and did not answer, still ignoring her aloof look.
He saw Ning Yuan restrained his previous lively expression and returned to his previous dull and quiet state. He just lowered his head and thought nothing.
In the past, he was very annoyed by the noise in his mind, but now, he actually wanted to listen to her heart.
Ning Li saw that she did not move, and after a few hesitations, she softly apologized for what happened last time: "Sister, the last patrol was because of mother's confusion. She has been punished. Please don't be angry."
"If you are still angry with her, then I will apologize to you and give you a gift... whatever you want."
Ning Yuan said "um" softly, and said in a light voice: "Are you done?"
The girl's indifference made Ning Li feel a little embarrassed in front of Shen Yan. She bit her lower lip and her voice became softer, with some pity like begging: "...I just don't want to be estranged from you sisters."
Shen Yan listened on the side and had lost his patience.
Ning Yuan had better not forgive so easily, otherwise he would definitely look down on her.
"Lili, we can't be estranged."
She sat quietly on the stone bench, her clothes gently sweeping the bluestone slabs in the courtyard in the evening breeze.
"You and I are from the same clan, connected by blood. No matter what happens between you and me, even if we are facing each other with swords, we will always be half-sisters, and it is destined to be unchangeable."
Ning Li's heart beat fast: "...Then you are not angry?"
She is now even a little grateful that Shen Yan is there.
In front of him, Ning Yuan will pay more attention to his words and deeds, and will not be lazy to talk to them as usual.
"I was not angry in the first place."
Ning Yuan lowered his eyelashes slightly, and his tone was very light.
Ning Li was obviously excited.
She knew that Ning Yuan was not a petty person. She was gentle, kind, and always good-hearted.
Otherwise, why would she be close to Ning Ze.
Shen Yan felt a little disappointed that they could not make each other out.
"Ning Yuan, you..."
The girl quickly raised her pretty face and looked at him straight.
Shen Yan's slight anger was abruptly stopped.
Ning Yuan was very beautiful, with gentle features, but still delicate. Many times when she was angry, she seemed to be coquettish, so he always liked to provoke her recently. But
at this moment, she was very calm, and her eyes looking at him were as gentle as always.
But for some reason, he glimpsed a firmness that could not be offended.
She looked at Ning Li.
"It's as expected. Why should I be angry?" This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. She still has a good voice like that soaked in spring rain.
"Your mother has been trying to ruin my engagement for a long time. She has done countless things behind my back."
"Anger is an emotion that comes from disappointing people. I never had any expectations of her, so of course I won't be angry."
"I just simply hate her."
"Besides, why should I forgive her?"
Ning Li's joy instantly fell to the bottom.
She felt like she was stripped naked in front of Shen Yan and slapped in the face.
"Sister, mother has been punished. A harmonious family is the key to success..."
"She was punished because she made a mistake, not because she harmed me. What does it have to do with me?"
"How can you say that? It was Lord Shen who prevailed for you that day..."
"What kind of justice is it if the victim is not satisfied with it?"
"...Then what do you want?"
"I want her to try drowning." She said lightly, "Don't worry, I don't mean to take her life. Even someone like me who has not fulfilled her engagement has been saved. I believe that our father has been with her for nearly twenty years. He will not turn a blind eye to it, right?"
Ning Li fell silent.
Ning Yuan smiled: "Look, Lili, even you know that your family has been shaky for a long time and will fall apart at the slightest provocation. There is no need to maintain superficial harmony."
"You don't have to muster up the courage to morally kidnap me in front of outsiders."
... Outsiders?
Shen Yan frowned.
"It is obvious that your sister has no morals to speak of." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you "But sister will always be your sister."
After saying that, she picked up a piece of cake with two fingers and took a small bite. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you After biting, she naturally raised her hand and handed it to Shen Yan's lips.
"Not bad, my sister's craftsmanship has improved again."
"Do you want to try it?"
Shen Yan stared at the small row of teeth marks on the front of the cake.
He never eats food that has been used by others, and he doesn't like these overly sweet pastries.
What's more, it's this kind of food that is easily stained with other people's saliva.
Even Ning Yuan's saliva is not okay.
But if he doesn't eat it now, will it be a disgrace to Ning Yuan and make her lose face?
He remembered the promise he made to her in the flower house. He
must not let her lose face in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, she will not keep her word, and what should Pei Zixing do if she acts like a flower boy in front of others in the future?
With his eyebrows moving slightly, he held her wrist and bit it gently.
Ning Yuan's fingertips suddenly felt hot, and they both paused at the same time.
...Did he pass it in too much?
Ning Yuan actually wanted to pull his fingers out quickly.
She fed Shen Yan on a whim, not because she really wanted to feed him the cake.
She just knew that Ning Li liked him and wanted to use him to piss Ning Li off.
Just pretend, what is he doing?
She glared at him dissatisfiedly, motioning him to let her go quickly.
The long-lost voice of his heart finally echoed in Shen Yan's mind, but none of it was what he liked to hear.
Is he something that can be snatched away and given away?
What does it have to do with him that Ning Li likes him?
He has never had any intersection with her.
He has been engaged for a long time, and he hopes that other women in the world will not care about him.
Does she think being sought after is a good thing?
He is so annoyed.
He met her gaze, seemed a little angry, deliberately bit her fingertips, and then licked it gently for a moment.
Ning Yuan's eyes suddenly widened.
Damn it, he took advantage of her again?
She tried to withdraw her hand, but her wrist remained motionless in his grip.
He held her wrist and bit her knuckles, not allowing her to pull out even a little bit. He lowered his eyes and stared at her, hiding a hint of provocation.
His teeth and tongue, one hard and one soft, slowly entwined on her fingers, gradually turning into a rather ambiguous sucking and licking.
The fingertips were full of smooth touch.
The snack slowly melted in his mouth and was rolled away bit by bit by the tip of his tongue.
He chewed it slowly.
Ning Yuan's heart was devastated. She bit her lips tightly, resisting the waves of itching from her fingertips, while maintaining the calmness and composure she pretended to show in front of Ning Li.
To be honest, even the enthusiastic stray puppies behind her house would not lick her like this when she fed them.
If Ning Li hadn't been there, she would have bitten the dog to death!
After he had eaten the cake completely, she finally ended this tormenting feeding.
"Is it delicious?" she said with a fake smile.
"Delicious." He answered in response.
His tone was very ambiguous, and his eyes fell on her fingers.
Ning Yuan's heart trembled, thinking that the delicious answer he gave might not refer to the snack.
Shen Yan noticed that she wiped her fingers stained with Jingying casually behind her back with some disgust, and felt a little unhappy. It
was obviously her who took the initiative to kiss him, and it was also her who took the initiative to lick him, so why did he help her act out this drama without holding a grudge, and she still had the nerve to dislike herself in return?
"Lili, do you want to eat?" She reminded Ning Li.
If she had a discerning eye, she would have known that she should leave now, right?
Ning Li came to her senses and waved her hand: "No, I don't want to eat... I'll go back first."
After turning around, she thought that her trip was worth it. Although she was ridiculed by Ning Yuan, Shen Yan ate her cakes for the first time.
She had secretly sent people to the government office to deliver cakes several times before, but they were rejected without exception.
Sure enough, the pavilion near the water gets the moon first.
She is not a pool of quiet water that can reflect the moon, so it is better to be a pavilion standing by the water.
After Ning Li left, Ning Yuan no longer concealed her irritability and looked in a very bad mood. She first pushed Ning Li's snacks away, then rubbed her fingers on her body several times, then raised her head and said impatiently: "Why don't you leave?"
But the man didn't listen to her at all.
He just stared at her steadily and opened his thin lips: "Do you hate it?"
"...It's all saliva, there is a little bit."
Shen Yan said "hmm", gently pinched her chin with his fingers, and then leaned over.
"Then you hate it."
