Chapter 120 Everything Settled
“I’m not interested,” Qin Linfeng said indifferently. But in his mind, he had come up with many possibilities. The worst one was that….
“I put this powder into sister’s flower-made nail polish. Brother, I dose you with your own physique, so I may not have the chance to go mad as you think. If you are interested, you can go to the Yeting Palace to ask sister how profound and wonderful this feeling is.”
“You are so malicious,” Qin Linfeng gnashed. Speaking of Qin Yunzhuang, he felt deeply heartbroken.
“Not as malicious as you,” Qin Yunuan stood straight and smiled, “An eye for an eye. If I’m deemed malicious for doing so, how should you be described? Aren’t you or Dou Qing’e malicious?”
“Yunzhuang did nothing!” Qin Linfeng shouted out.
“She did way more than you knew,” Qin Yunuan replied lightly, “Don’t you know how she got engaged with Prince Ray? In the painting hall that day, so many people had seen what she did. Now in the Royal City, rumors go that Grand Miss used philter on Prince Ray so that….”
“Shut up!” Qin Linfeng was unwilling to hear this. Qin Yunzhuang was not only his dear sister but also his secret love. Three years ago, he clearly realized that he loved this delicate and charming sister. Then, he chose to leave. He would rather travel outside for study than stay home to confront his embarrassing and abnormal love.
However, when he came back after receiving an urgent letter from Dou Qing’e, his love for Qin Yunzhuang which he thought died down flared again at the sight of her. He was distressed when knowing that Dou Qing’e was determined to send Qin Yunzhuang to the palace to marry Prince Ray and that Qin Yunzhuang was caught seducing Prince Ray in public. He felt like that his beloved treasure was stolen by a man who wouldn’t cherish it and that he could never get it back.
“The wedding of sister and Prince Ray has been postponed.” Qin Yunuan whispered to Qin Linfeng, “You still have a chance.” Then, Qin Yunuan straightened up and took a few steps back, giving Qin Linfeng a deep glance. She didn’t like to get involved in such a mess but she was happy to be a troublemaking bystander. After all, in her previous life, Sima Ray, Qin Yunzhuang and Qin Linfeng made Baochuan and her suffer a lot. She just paid a little back to them.
Stepping back to the door, Qin Yunuan left her back to tightly tied Qin Linfeng. With the sunshine coming in, the light and shade were in stark contrast, dividing the inside and outside into two different worlds. Qin Linfeng squinted to get used to the strong sunshine that came in suddenly.
“Set him free.” Qin Yunuan turned her head slightly and ordered Leng Shuang who stood near the door.
Leng Shuang was a little hesitant. Although she didn’t fear Qin Linfeng, the exalted son of the mansion of Grand Commandant. She was afraid that setting him free without any preparation would do harm to Qin Yunuan who she should protect.
“Don’t worry. He’s not that threatening.” Qin Yunuan kept her chin up. She already showed her attitude before Qin Linfeng and clearly told him that she knew every detail about the relationship between Qin Yunzhuang and him. She knew his secret so he would not take risks for the sake of Qin Yunzhuang.
A few days later, the news about the wedding of Infanta Ping, or the daughter of the mansion of Grand Commandant, and Leng Changxi, High Guardian General, had spread in the Royal City.
Workers in many shops in the Royal City became busy because a few months earlier, masters from the Prince Ning’s Mansion had ordered many wedding cakes and silk. Besides, Queen Mother also sent people to place orders. Everything from engagement, divination, matchmaker invitation to betrothal gift preparation all went smoothly in just a few days. It seemed that seven days was fairly enough for preparing a wedding. Moreover, the large order of wedding cakes and the grand scene could predict that this wedding would be the most spectacular one in the past decade in the Royal City.
In the mansion of Grand Commandant, peonies were in full bloom to accord with other blooming flowers in the city. Seemingly, this allowed people to temporarily forget the turmoil that happened a few days ago.
Towards noon, it was the hottest time in a day. But Qin Yunuan’s room was not hot thanks to an arm-long ice block which Leng Changxi sent to her for cooling down. Concubine Chang teased Qin Yunuan and said that they two weren’t married yet, but Leng Changxi cared her so much.
Earlier, Maner prepared a bowl of lotus-nuts and cubilose soup on which the translucent cubilose, lotus nuts and several ice cubes were floating. It looked really delicious.
“Third Miss, have some soup. You have read account books for a long time.”
Shen Xun had left all affairs in Golden Butterfly Embroidery House to Qin Yunuan but she was not very good at running shops at the very beginning. Later she learned how to read account books and use abacuses from Concubine Chang. Although she was skilled at reading account books now, it still took her a lot of time and energy.
“How’s Qin Yunzhuang?” Qin Yunuan took a sip of the tasty cubilose soup and asked about Qin Yunzhuang.
“It’s said that Grand Miss had a fight with nannies again. Grand Young Master was exasperated and went to palace at once, planning to argue with Empress Chen. Luckily, Master’s servants had stopped him at the gate. Otherwise, he would have led to disasters.”
Qin Yunuan snorted and commented, “It seems that Qin Linfeng can seek trouble for himself and push himself to the hell. We can save much energy.” Qin Yunuan spooned up cubilose and tasted it carefully. Then, something more serious occurred to her. She frowned and asked, “How is North Di going? It’s said that Sima Ruo and Princess Saichun have engaged. How is the assassin accident resolved?”
Maner stood in amazement. When she glanced at the door, she saw a familiar figure which showed up unexpectedly. Wearing a smile, she tilted her head and said, “I don’t know this but someone knows.” After finishing her sentence, she pouted her lips towards the door and hinted Qin Yunuan to take a look.
Confused, Qin Yunuan turned her head and saw Leng Changxi who stood straight at the door against the midday brightest sunshine. It was already dog days, but Leng Changxi still dressed in dark purple. His mask shone under the dazzling sunshine and it was as shiny as his star-like eyes. Leng Changxi grinned with his eyebrows naturally going up. He was really joyful, not pretending to be happy.
He had been in such a happy mood for many days. He hadn’t seen Qin Yunuan for a long time. Now, the girl he missed so much sat right before him. She read books quietly and drunk cubilose soup gracefully. Her charming gesture, perfect move and every part of her would all belong to him shortly. She was going to marry him, becoming his own love and only wife.
In Qi, engaged but unmarried couples should not meet each other in private as required. However, Leng Changxi never cared about such stereotypes and these wouldn’t keep him from meeting Qin Yunuan.
He missed her, so he went to meet her. That was it.
Maner tittered. “I’m going to serve your future husband a cup of tea.” Then, she left and closed the door, leaving them alone to have a talk.
“You’re really…” Qin Yunuan looked down, “In the broad daylight, why are you so bold?”
“You don’t want me to meet you?” Leng Changxi still wore a smile, “So I’d better go.”
“No!” Qin Yunuan unconsciously grabbed his arm but Leng Changxi intentionally dragged her and held her in his arms. The thin summer clothes couldn’t hide their beating hearts. Neither could the chillness coming from the ice block cool down their stronger passion.
Qin Yunuan huddled up in his arms and couldn’t move. Leng Changxi hugged her tightly and put his weight on her so that they leaned on the pillar. The light yellow gauze curtain hung on the pillar therefore fell down to cover Qin Yunuan’s blush and tender face as well as her full and lustrous lips. This added some seducing and hazy vibe.
Leng Changxi took a deep breath and he was stunned by Qin Yunuan’s astonishing beauty. He took off his mask with one hand and showed his perfect and handsome face. He kissed on Qin Yunuan’s lips gently.
Through the silky gauze curtain, he kissed her hard and tasted her saliva. Her sweet and mellow taste was so good that Leng Changxi didn’t want to stop.
Indulged in intimacy, Leng Changxi moved his hand down until he reached the long and thin belt around Qin Yunuan’s waist. Qin Yunuan didn’t dress too much when she stayed in her room. The belt seemed to be the only barrier between Leng Changxi and her. The man gave her a deep kiss and bent down slowly to quickly tear off her belt.
As the belt fell to the ground, Qin Yunuan’s thin clothes fell too, exposing her dusty pink bra and white round shoulder. Leng Changxi’s hands were as hot as a soldering iron.
“Can I?” Leng Changxi suddenly stopped to ask her in a low and hoarse voice.
