Special 12: Passionate Love (Section End) 1
“Is this really okay?” Xue Yuan frowned. He was suspicious.
“Since Zhenzhen wants to give it a try, why not? Or do you doubt the efficacy of my family’s medicine? Don’t forget, I got drunk on this ‘Intoxicated Rouge’ back then. Over the years, Xinxin has improved the recipe. It’s not harmful to the body and the effects are excellent.” Si Fangchen smiled very proudly. Now, he will not be the only one in the Brother’s League who was half-forced to marry a wife because of an aphrodisiac.
“I’m not doubting the efficacy of ‘Intoxicated Rouge’, but I’m worried about Jian Xing…” Xue Yuan paused and sighed helplessly, “It’s not like you haven’t experienced Jian Xing’s stubborn temper. After it happened, he would definitely marry Zhenzhen, but it is uncertain whether the knot in his heart will be resolved.”
“It’s just you who thinks too much. A Xi always said that you are the most naggy, and I see he isn’t wrong. Jian Xing likes Zhenzhen, which is a fact known to the Brother’s League, but because of Zhenzhen’s identity, he has never dared to admit his affections. Now, Zhenzhen finally made up her mind to try this method, but you’re still hesitating. Too annoying.”
Si Fangchen stretched out his limbs, spread out on the soft couch, and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the third baby came out of his wife’s stomach, he has not had a day of leisure. This time, if it weren’t for Xue Yuan, there would be no chance to go down the mountain to take a break.
But then again, he never imagined that he would stay in Qingfeng Zhai for seven years. During this period, except six years ago, when his sons turned a month old, he held a wedding banquet and every Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year’s Eve, he would be reunited with his other family and friends in Heyuan.
For The rest of the time, he stayed in Qingfeng Zhai to deal with the affairs that were inconvenient for the lady. At the same time, he would accompany and tease Jiao’er, and meet the expectations of their parents. She gave birth to a lively, lovely, and energetic daughter five years ago. It was a fulfilling and busy time.
Xue Zhen didn’t know how to react when he heard Si Fangchen’s words. What did he mean that she finally made up her mind? She has already had this idea, but she never had the chance, and she is afraid of Jian Xing reactions after. However, after the New Year’s, she will be twenty-four; she couldn’t delay any longer. Her imperial father and mother will not let her wait forever.
“Brother Xiao alsos agrees?” Xue Yuan was astonished. Lin Xiao and Jiang Huaian were the most calm and indifferent in the Brother’s League, but they actually agreed with his sister’s idea?
“Here’s the ‘Intoxicated Rouge’. Anyway, my task is completed. The next step is to see if you two are willing. You should just turn a blind eye and let Zhen Zhen handle it by herself.” Fangchen took out a small paper bag from his arms and threw it on the desk. He then stretched and walked out of the room.
“Zhenzhen?” Xue Yuan stared at the small paper bag for a while, before he raised his eyes to look at his sister, “You know, based on Jian Xing’s temperament, he will never allow himself to be manipulated by others. Brother is just worried that if he knows this was your plan, would…” he push her further away?
“Then I will resign. Brother, I only want him in my life. Whether he wants me or not is his business…” Xue Zhen suppressed the sourness in her heart and said lightly.
How could she not have thought of the other ending? After he consumes the ‘Intoxicated Rouge’ and her, he will just stand up and resolutely leave her. From then on, it would be really difficult for her to get even the slightest concern from him.
“If that’s the case, then try it. I hope he will feel sorry for your persistence and stay.” Xue Yuan sighed, already agreeing with Fang Chen’s words. Jian Xing was interested in her, but because of the difference in their identities, always refused to admit it. If the two of them were allowed to continue to waste like this, what awaited them will only be endless waiting and parting.
—
It hurts. She felt as if her whole body was run over by a carriage, and her whole body was weak and sore.
With her eyes closed, Xue Zhen moved her hand to grab a cup of water from the bedside table, but didn’t want to bump into a warm object. She suddenly opened her eyes.
Immediately, the fiery scene from last night flashed in front of her. It made her breathless, she blushed and her heartbeat accelerated.
She and him actually consumed the ‘Intoxicated Rouge’ and performed the actions that only a husband and wife were to do.
Currently, Jian Xing, because of last night’s madness, was sleeping soundly. His clean and handsome face was not tense as usual and his slightly pursed, rosy lips were not as silent and difficult to approach either. She was tempted to lean in. Closer and closer; just as her lips were about to meet his, she was stunned still when he suddenly opened his starry eyes.
“Are you okay?” His hoarse voice broke the silence between the two.
“It’s…it’s okay…” She whispered in a low voice.
“I’m sorry, I…” Jian Xing was about to say that it was also his first time, so he would inevitably hurt her, but unexpectedly, she covered his lips and interrupted: “Don’t…don’t say anything like sorry. If you don’t want to marry me, treat it as if nothing happened last night. Don’t worry, I won’t hold you responsible.” When she said the last sentence, Xue Zhen closed her eyes bitterly. She didn’t want to see Jian Xing’s contemptuous eyes.
