Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-156

Li Hong Yuan naturally sensed the change in Jing Wan’s mood clearly. Truthfully speaking, he felt somewhat baffled.

The women in his past life weren’t considered many, but they weren’t considered few either. However, they were actually not too different from the servant girls that purely served him, so naturally don’t count on him to go understand these women’s temperament and preferences. At the time, in his cognitive mind, those women were just his vassals, so naturally everything all ought to comply with him. Afterwards, he met Wan Wan, and under that special kind of circumstance, they got along for a period of time, so he somewhat had an understanding of her. But that was the Wan Wan that had experienced through various hardships and torment. Perhaps her inherent nature won’t change, but her temperament would definitely have changes. Compared to the ‘still having the worries of a young maiden’ Wan Wan right now, there would definitely be differences. Although, starting from several years ago, he already began learning about her everyday affairs, that kind of understanding was still just on the surface level, unable to touch upon her inner heart.

To want to be connected by the heart, and to want to thoroughly understand her, one still needed to grind.

Li Hong Yuan inwardly sighed. He really was just asking for hardship to suffer, but it can’t be helped, who let him just want such a treasure, not only just the body, but more importantly the heart. Don’t want to have her changed into the same as other women, then one can only go understand her. In that case, no matter how great the suffering, one still needed to bear!

Li Hong Yuan leaned back, one leg stepping on the couch, having Jing Wan lifted and placed on his other leg, letting her entire person lie on his body, her head pressed on the side of his neck on his shoulder, using his chin to lightly rub against her forehead, gently stroking her back in a purely pacifying manner. Afterwards, he just quietly held her, no longer having any other movements.

Jing Wan was somewhat stupefied by his actions. Just a moment ago, the air was still filled with lust, getting teased by him in various ways. How come in an instant, he just turned into a ‘warm puppy’ type? This style was completely off?! Jing Wan wanted to see what expression he had at this moment.

“What, Wan Wan still wants to continue compensating this prince?” Li Hong Yuan didn’t stop her either, just softly chuckling as she got up.

Jing Wan blanked, and then very perceptively and obediently laid back down.

This time, Li Hong Yuan’s laugh persisted much longer, the vibrations in his chest accompanied by the sound of his heartbeat. Jing Wan subconsciously rolled up her fist and hammered his chest. Afterwards, she realized that she made a mistake again.

This somewhat coquettish little punch, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, was just like a scratch, and even specially landed on his heart. Although he was getting somewhat restless again, in the end, he still restrained himself, reaching out to wrap up her hand, “This temper also quite bad.”

Jing Wan didn’t say anything, and didn’t have her hand pulled back either. After blanking somewhat in the beginning, and after letting out a bit of temper afterwards, she was actually very shocked inside right now, because of Li Hong Yuan’s attitude. He was currently taking her mood into consideration, even carrying indulgence and pampering. No matter how she thought about it, it all didn’t feel right. Afterwards, Jing Wan unexpectedly recalled another special characteristic on Li Hong Yuan———-seven day pampering. On this bit, what she knew wasn’t considered much. She just knew a little from Sun Yi Jia chattering about her extreme dissatisfaction towards Jin Qinwang. The beauties he took a fancy to, he will give them extreme pampering, but how it was specifically, Sun Yi Jia actually didn’t know. Then, did Jing Wan have a reason to suspect that everything he did to her today, regardless whether it was the previous teasing, or the current cherishing, was it all part of his ‘extreme pampering’?

If at times like these, he was able to restrain his bad temper somewhat and really have a woman cupped in his palm, in addition to that indulging tenderness, to want to sink into obsession for him seemingly really wasn’t something very difficult. It’s no wonder she even heard that every time these seven days pass, quite a few women all become foolish for him, and go crazy for him.

However, once these seven days pass, the gentle lover will just transform into the callous King of Hell, so don’t count on obtaining a trace of pity from him.

Jing Wan wasn’t sure if she has entered such a phase, don’t know if after seven days, will she also be heartlessly ‘abandoned’ by him. Of course, her status was different, and can’t stay by his side for seven days. However, the seemingly so called ‘seven day pampering’, seven days was just the limit for the longest period of time. No one has ever exceeded seven days, and the number of people that reached seven days were also very few. There seemingly were also ones that made him thoroughly lose interest in one day.

Jing Wan, believing to have found where the problem resided, actually relaxed, even quite optimistically thinking to herself, since she was able to be ‘pampered’ by Jin Qinwang, then that meant her appearance should be prettier than how she originally thought, or perhaps it was just her status that brought her extra points? Perhaps, after today, he will no longer pay attention to her?

In any case, from the start, she just wanted a title, that’s all. Because of Grandmaster Liao Chen’s fortune, as long as no uncontrollable mishap occur, no need to think about cancelling the engagement anymore. Recalling those previous fiancees of Jin Qinwang’s, this uncontrollable mishap, Jing Wan absolutely won’t allow it to happen. Seeing on behalf of her di wife status, he should at most have her thrown into the manor’s rear court, and not the villa where he keeps beauties. After all, that will also damage his face, no?

The more detailed areas, Jing Wan, at this moment, refused to ponder over. Since Jin Qinwang was in the mood to play, then she can just sit back and enjoy it. She rather want to see his so called extreme pampering, exactly to what degree can he pamper to.

Li Hong Yuan clearly sensed Jing Wan’s body relaxing, not like before, where she was more or less tense the whole time. He didn’t believe that his pacifying was the main reason that brought about this. As for what, he temporarily was unable to come up with an answer. However, regardless of what reason, for Jing Wan to be able to lean on him like this, something that he’s dreamed of for too long, it was exceptionally enjoyable.

If Li Hong Yuan knew what Jing Wan was thinking, don’t know what kind of expression he will have.

However, Li Hong Yuan actually wasn’t one to firmly refuse to repent, walking down a dark path to the end. Even if he were to run into a wall, he would probably just directly dig a hole and continue walking. Perhaps in the future, when Jing Wan pulls him to take a turn, he’ll probably just obediently follow her.

That’s why, Li Hong Yuan feels, he and Jing Wan in the future still have things to polish. This really was a great truth. Right now, the thought process for the two of them were on completely different frequencies.

The inside of the horse carriage sunk into tranquility, and the paralyzed expression on the faces of the people outside finally eased a little.

However, recalling how a certain someone has endured for this long, finally having the chance to openly get some benefits, afraid this kind of thing won’t happen any less. That’s why, they can only feel stifled inside. Of course, the one that truly felt stifled was probably just Gong mama alone. The rest at most just felt somewhat awkward listening to what was going on. But in reality, ever since the living Enma learned about this marriage from his old man, his mood lately has all been pretty good. And him being in a good mood meant that for the people at his side, their days of suffering will lessen. According to their wishes, it would be best if Luo third miss can immediately marry into Jin Qinwang Manor.

Once the horse carriage stopped, Jing Wan got up along with Li Hong Yuan, and also sat up, just where she sat didn’t change. Li Hong Yuan reached out to have the somewhat messy head ornaments on Jing Wan’s head put back in place again, but because his hands were unfamiliar, in a moment of carelessness, he instead hooked Jing Wan’s hair. Jing Wan didn’t think much of it, but Li Hong Yuan instead began heartaching. He might as well have all the head ornaments that were just for decoration and not for holding her hair in place all removed, “Later, have it restyled again. ——–Are you hungry? Let’s go eat something.”

Actually, right now, it was still early, with still some time before the usual meal time. However, compared to the two of them staying in this ‘sealed’ space the whole time, it was better to go out. Thus, she nodded her head.

According to Li Hong Yuan’s idea, he wanted to directly carry Jing Wan down from the carriage, but got firmly rejected by Jing Wan.

Li Hong Yuan however didn’t argue with her either, getting down from the carriage ahead of Jing Wan. Afterwards, when Jing Wan came out, he very naturally extended his hand, wanting to support her down. Jing Wan paused for a moment, before reaching out and placing her hand in his.

The rumored moody, cold, and ruthless Jin Qinwang, when ‘pampering’ someone, to be able to humble himself to this degree, even Jing Wan felt it was somewhat inconceivable. For those locally born and bred girls whose status was far inferior to hers, afraid would be overwhelmed by the favor from one’s superior, coming another step closer to falling into oblivion.

One can’t blame Jing Wan’s mind for taking this turn and unable to turn back, because no matter how one looked, it all didn’t look like it was his first time doing this kind of thing. Generally speaking, someone of his status, after getting down from the horse carriage, to be able to stand still and wait for you was already not bad.

Never mind Jing Wan, even the people serving by Li Hong Yuan’s side all were exceptionally shocked. Because of that assassination incident at White Dragon Temple, the spies that belonged to others among Li Hong Yuan’s bodyguards all got plucked, and those that appear to be people from other factions, in actuality, were all loyal to Li Hong Yuan. Even if they were inferior to that most intimate batch of people by Li Hong Yuan’s side, towards Li Hong Yuan’s matters, they more or less still knew. They knew their master had a person at the tip of his heart, and after this marriage was confirmed, they also knew that that person was precisely the current soon-to-be wangfei. But, when they personally witnessed this scene, they were further certain of their soon-to-be wangfei’s position in their master’s heart. Once wangfei marries in, need to use what kind of attitude to face her, they once again reaffirmed in their hearts, perceptively lowering their heads, their eyes to their nose, their nose to their heart. To dare stare at the soon-to-be wangfei, this was wanting to get their eyes dug out?

After Jing Wan steadied her footing, she finally looked around. Unexpectedly, this while, they’d already entered an elegant courtyard. There was a winding little stream, a small bridge and pavilion, flourishing blossoms like brocade, and a randomly strewn rock garden. Speaking from a certain perspective, it very much matched Jing Wan’s taste.

But, when she met with that solemn gaze of Gong mama’s, Jing Wan suddenly felt awkward again, even having some unclear and indescribable bashfulness, slightly lowering her head, somewhat helpless looking, just like getting caught by an elder doing something bad.

Li Hong Yuan swept Gong mama a glance, pulling along Jing Wan and directly stepping onto the little bridge before them.

Towards that living Enma’s ‘wishing for her to thoroughly disappear’ gaze, Gong mama was completely unfazed, just inwardly lamenting for Jing Wan. As soon as this marriage was set, this living Enma just began openly devouring like a whale. Afraid miss will………

Passing through the garden, they directly stepped into the building on the opposite side.

(T/N: Specifically this kind of building structure, it’s basically kinda like a two-storied pavilion.)

This building was different from other places’. First of all, it was considerably spacious, with only a few main pillars as support, as well as the protective rails on the edge. The other areas all were left empty, with just drapery suspended from above. After the two of them entered hand in hand, the servant girls just soundlessly lowered the drapery.

And the decorations inside, not one didn’t manifest luxury, elegance, style……….

However, Jing Wan’s gaze not at all surprisingly landed on that large bed with the conical muslin veil. She turned to look towards the man next to her. Even if there was a deep abysmal darkness, Jing Wan seemingly also sensed a bundle of flame.
