Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 1076: Jealousy Consumes His Heart

Cheng Yaojia was instantly overcome with embarrassment. She hadn’t meant to drink that way, fearing he might misunderstand and think she was indirectly inviting him to ki$$ her. Her heart pounded wildly.

However, when his lips t0uched hers, Cheng Yaojia instinctively loosened her teeth, letting his t0ngue somewhat roughly intrude.

And so, without realizing it, Cheng Yaojia had drunk most of a pot of grape wine. She was now slightly dizzy, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes became hazy and alluring.

“Madam, is it alright now?” Song Qingshu’s eyes were perfectly clear as he gazed at her intently.

“You, you just know how to tease me! I’m already like this, and you still… still asking me.” Cheng Yaojia said coquettishly, her voice tinged with a mixture of drunkenness, shyness, and boldness.

Song Qingshu smiled mischievously. “If Madam doesn’t say it herself, how will I know if I’ve misunderstood?”

“You haven’t misunderstood,” Cheng Yaojia said, biting her lip and enunciating each word clearly.

“What do you mean by ‘haven’t misunderstood’?” Song Qingshu’s playful expression deepened.

Cheng Yaojia felt a tickle in her teeth, wanting nothing more than to get up and bite him. “It means I won’t refuse whatever you want to do.”

“If I want to t0uch places I shouldn’t t0uch, is that allowed?” Song Qingshu’s smile grew even stranger, his large hands already hovering near her c0llar.

“Whatever,” Cheng Yaojia turned her head away, obscuring her expression, but her ears were clearly red.

Song Qingshu found her even more charming and adorable, and couldn’t resist lifting her chin and ki$$ing her deeply again.

“Mmm~”

Cheng Yaojia felt a little breathless, but she couldn’t bear to push him away. Although she was no longer a young woman waiting to be married, she had never experienced such a gentle ki$$.

At first, she was a little stiff, but she quickly closed her eyes, leaving only her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

“This man is such a bad guy. He was just deliberately asking me questions, but now his hand is already…” Cheng Yaojia’s pretty face flushed, but she was too lazy to care about him and could only let him do as he pleased.

Song Qingshu was incredibly experienced. 

After a few str0kes to her delicate bud, Cheng Yaojia found herself almost unable to hold on. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: she wondered how many w0men this man had t0uched to develop such a torturous skill.

Just as Song Qingshu was about to remove the mask from his face, Cheng Yaojia felt his movement and quickly grabbed his hand: “No!”

“Hmm?” Song Qingshu looked at her in surprise. Even at this point, why was she still refusing? “No…don’t take it off.” Cheng Yaojia’s voice trembled slightly.

“Why?” Song Qingshu was completely bewildered.

“Because…because…” Cheng Yaojia blushed, then suddenly whispered, “I…I like you better the way you are now.”

Song Qingshu was immediately at a loss for words, unsure whether to laugh or cry. He prided himself on his handsome appearance, yet in the end, he couldn’t compare to Tang Kuo Bian, this bearded man. 

Speaking of Tang Kuo Bian, although his appearance was rugged, he seemed to have a way with w0men. The most beautiful woman in the Jin Dynasty was infatuated with him, and even her sister liked him. Now, with Cheng Yaojia, he had unknowingly won her favor as well.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. After all, he had spent most of his time with her as Tang Kuo Bian these past few days, so it was normal for her to prefer him.

Thinking this way, he immediately regained his confidence in his charm. Even without using his handsome face, he was still quite charming.

“Since Madam likes this face, then let’s use this face.” Song Qingshu’s words made Cheng Yaojia so embarrassed that she buried herself in his arms, not daring to look at him again.

Unconsciously, Cheng Yaojia’s r0be was half undone. 

Song Qingshu reached out and t0uched her, a faint smile appearing on his face. He leaned close to her ear and said gently, “Madam… seems ready to welcome me inside.”

Cheng Yaojia wanted to bite him, thinking how hateful this man was, always teasing her like this. However, she was now completely ar0used and suddenly boldly looked back at him, gently biting her lip: “Yes, are you coming in?” (G: d@mn…)

Song Qingshu felt a fire explode within him, and he immediately got up and placed her on the table beside him.

“Ah, on the table?” Cheng Yaojia suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, she had always been very proper, even after marriage, her intimacy with her husband was always respectful. How could she be in such… such an absurd place?

“What, doesn’t Madam like it?” Song Qingshu placed his hand on the table, looking at her closely from above.

Cheng Yaojia instinctively wanted to say she didn’t like it, but the thought of her husband choosing to have his wife seduce other men for the sake of the family’s interests filled her with a vengeful pleasure. She raised her round, white chin: “I like it!”

Song Qingshu leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Actually, even if Madam doesn’t like it, I’ll still take you here.”

‘Oh no!’

Cheng Yaojia sighed inwardly, feeling completely controlled by him. This man’s casual words, even his breath, could ar0use her.

“Tonight… do whatever you want.” Cheng Yaojia could clearly feel her voice was different, more alluring and seductive than usual.

Song Qingshu’s breathing immediately became heavy, like a ravenous wolf pouncing on a lamb before him.

“Hmmph!”

“Ahhhng~”

Not long after, the wine pot and cups that had been swept to the edge of the table clattered and scattered all over the floor due to the continued shaking of the table…

******

The next morning, when Song Qingshu led Cheng Yaojia out the door, Lu Guanying was already waiting outside with dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing her husband, Cheng Yaojia trembled and instinctively stopped in her tracks. 

Song Qingshu, however, held her hand and gently comforted her, “He’s already written the divorce papers; you’re no longer husband and wife. Besides, he made you do that kind of thing yesterday; you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Song Qingshu’s voice seemed to possess a strange magic, and Cheng Yaojia’s agitated emotions slowly calmed down.

Lu Guanying saw them come out and rushed forward, intending to question Song Qingshu, but was suddenly stunned by his wife’s beauty. 

Although Cheng Yaojia was beautiful, her shy and timid nature had always made her appear reserved. Since arriving in Yangzhou, various troubles had arisen, and a faint worry always lingered between her brows. But the woman before him now radiated beauty, like a delicate, vibrant rose.

Lu Guanying felt a sharp pain in his heart. He finally believed that his wife hadn’t lied to him; she hadn’t done anything to dishonor the family. This radiance only appeared after sufficient nourishment, and his wife hadn’t displayed this extraordinary beauty before.

The thought of having personally pushed his wife into another m@n’s arms sent Lu Guanying’s face turning pale and then red. But it was too late for regrets now. He could only hope that this sacrifice would save the family’s future.

“When are we going to rescue Lord Han?” Lu Guanying asked guiltily, avoiding his wife’s eyes, but filled with rage towards Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu replied calmly, “I did promise to help you save Han Dingxing and the others, but I didn’t say immediately.”

Lu Guanying was both shocked and furious, pointing at him and shouting, “Are you trying to renege on your promise?”

Song Qingshu’s expression turned cold: “First, the decision to save them or not is up to me now, so you’d better be polite to me; second, the reason I agreed to save Han Dingxing and the others was only because of Yaojia, so even if I were to renege, it would be on her, not yours; third, we’re going for a walk now, please move aside.”

“You!” Lu Guanying was already furious, and upon hearing this, he charged forward, only to feel as if he had bumped into an invisible wall of energy, staggering back several steps before regaining his footing. He then remembered the vast difference in their martial arts skills, and his face turned pale, then red. 

Seeing her husband knocked down, Cheng Yaojia instinctively reached out to help him, but Song Qingshu shook his head: “Don’t worry, I didn’t hurt him.”

Only after seeing that Lu Guanying was indeed unharmed did Cheng Yaojia breathe a sigh of relief, while simultaneously feeling annoyed at herself for being so weak-willed as to care about this man.

“If you want to go for a walk, go ahead. Leave my wife here; I have something to say to her,” Lu Guanying said, having no other choice but to try to reason with her. 

“Your wife?” Song Qingshu raised an eyebrow, pulling a handkerchief from his robes and waving it in front of him. “You wrote this divorce decree yourself, it’s crystal clear. Yaojia and you have nothing to do with each other anymore. Stop calling her ‘wife’ all you want.”

Lu Guanying panicked and blurted out, “That was just a momentary impulse, don’t take it seriously.”

Song Qingshu took the divorce decree back, smiling disdainfully. “Unfortunately, there’s no going back.”

Seeing that talking to Song Qingshu wouldn’t work, Lu Guanying mustered his courage and looked at his wife: “Yaojia, don’t you really miss me? All these years of marriage, what about our bond?”

Cheng Yaojia’s face paled. She said calmly, “When you misunderstood me and insulted me relentlessly, did you ever consider our marriage? I could tolerate all of that, but then you made me… you know what you made me do. Do you even deserve to be a husband?”

“I know I was wrong before. I will spend the rest of my life trying to make amends…” Lu Guanying was interrupted by Cheng Yaojia before he could finish:

“What’s the point of saying all this now?”

“I…” Lu Guanying was speechless for a moment.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Yaojia took Song Qingshu’s hand. 

Watching the two figures disappear, Lu Guanying’s face darkened considerably. The soft m0ans and singing that had been coming from next door all night suddenly echoed in his ears again. Unable to contain his anger any longer, he burst out, “You fickle woman! When you were with me, you were quiet all night, but with another m@n, you’re so wanton…”

Song Qingshu’s face turned cold. He was about to teach him a lesson when Cheng Yaojia tightly grabbed his arm, pleading, “No~”

Seeing Cheng Yaojia’s pleading eyes, Song Qingshu’s heart softened, and he abandoned his plan to attack. However, he couldn’t physically attack him, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t retort: ​​”Yaojia’s behavior is so drastically different. Doesn’t Young Master Lu realize that it’s because of his own inadequacy in that area?” (G: Savage!)
