Humans are greedy animals.
At first, Lin Jiangnian just wanted to test whether this Lady Liu’s mouth was really that hard.
After trying it, it was confirmed that Lady Liu's mouth was very soft.
It smells great too.
So, Lin Jiangnian began to wonder whether Ms. Liu's body was soft or not.
The cold wind was howling outside the door, but the room was warm like spring.
As Lin Jiangnian once again savagely and domineeringly blocked Ms. Liu's mouth, Liu Su finally gave up after struggling in vain and gradually sank into despair.
Perhaps it was anticipated, or perhaps the two had already had physical contact.
In comparison, there is not so much resistance.
The two of them began to breathe faster and their body temperatures gradually rose.
In the warm environment, there seems to be a slightly ambiguous atmosphere gradually heating up.
It was like an impulse that had been suppressed for a long time, with a bit of emotion of reunion after a long separation, it was ignited at this moment.
Lin Jiangnian's big hands, which were wrapped around Lady Liu, began to become restless. They slowly moved around Liu Su's slender waist, gently caressing it and moving up along the curves of her body.
However, when he was about to touch the area he had touched before, he was suddenly held down by a hand.
"Let go... No, no..."
Liu Su's voice trembled slightly, and her rapid breathing was accompanied by an unconcealable feeling of shame and anger.
Her pretty face was already flushed, tears streaming down her face, as beautiful as a startled swan. Her long eyelashes trembled, and she was too embarrassed to raise her head.
Lin Jiangnian didn't continue his attack. He stared down at Liu Su's face and whispered in her ear, "Then promise me you won't be angry anymore?"
No answer.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian attacked again without hesitation.
The delicate body in his arms straightened, and his bare hands tightly grasped Lin Jiangnian's hands, refusing to let him succeed.
But at this moment, Liu Su's body was limp and her mind was already in a mess. How could she have any strength left?
She could only watch Lin Jiangnian's hand gradually approaching, and her already red eyes seemed to be filled with tears from anger.
At this time, Lin Jiangnian stopped again, hugged Liu Su again, and said softly: "Then I will take it as your consent... Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Still no answer.
Liu Su lowered her head, letting her hair, which had not yet completely dried, fall in disarray, covering most of her face, and no emotion could be seen on her face.
She didn't move or speak, just remained silent, with only her rapid breathing and her full, round chest rising and falling.
The breath he exhaled was slightly hot.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian smiled.
Not answering is another form of acquiescence.
The room fell into a brief silence, and neither of them spoke again. It wasn't until a long time later that Liu Su's rapid breathing gradually subsided, and she seemed to calm down.
She slowly raised her head, revealing her beautiful face beneath her messy hair. Her eyes were slightly red, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian with watery eyes, gritting her teeth in hatred: "Is it fun to bully me?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel distressed: "How could it be? How could I bear to bully you?"
"You have it."
"Okay, okay, I did. It's all my fault. I admit it... I will never do it again, okay?"
Liu Su bit her lower lip, stared at him for a few seconds, and then looked away.
"Let me go."
This time, Lin Jiangnian did not insist any more and let go of his hand.
Liu Su struggled to get up from his arms. As she stood up with difficulty, her legs went weak and she staggered and almost fell. Lin Jiangnian hurriedly supported her.
After she stood firm, she turned around and glared at Lin Jiangnian with shame and anger. She took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and tidied her messy clothes. She slowly walked to the table and sat down.
Lin Jiangnian also stood up and walked over to sit next to Liu Su at the table. He looked up at her and asked softly, "Where have you been for the past six months? And why did you come to the capital?"
Liu Su lowered her eyes and remained silent, not saying a word.
"Back to the Tianshen Sect headquarters?"
"Have you met your leader?"
"Are you still leaving this time?"
Liu Su seemed to react, turned her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a while.
"You want me to leave?"
She looked away again.
"Of course not."
Lin Jiangnian said: "I hope you can stay with me."
"Stay by your side and be your pet canary?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. "I won't restrict your personal freedom. Whether you want to leave or stay is up to you. I just hope you don't end up like this time, where you've been gone for half a year without a word."
Liu Su was silent for a long time: "She wouldn't want me to stay."
"who?"
"Who else do you think it is?"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Zhiyuan is not that kind of person."
Liu Su suddenly stared at him and said coldly: "I'm talking about the eldest princess."
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
"Zhiyuan holds a special place in your heart. You, the dignified Crown Prince of Lin, actually have to depend on the mood of a maid like her?"
"...Is she really just a maid?"
Lin Jiangnian was speechless. She had never expected Liu Su to trick her. He sighed softly and shook his head, "I won't marry the eldest princess."
Hearing this, Liu Su's smile froze slightly and she stared at him: "What did you say?"
Lin Jiangnian's expression remained calm: "I won't marry her."
"Why?"
"I don't even know her, why should I marry her?"
"You want to disobey the order?"
Lin Jiang laughed: "Why can't she disobey the order?"
"she?"
Liu Su seemed to realize something: "She doesn't want to marry you?"
"Why would you be willing?"
Lin Jiangnian said, "One is a direct disciple of the sword, the best swordsman in the world, and a royal goddess famous throughout the capital. The other is a notorious, dandy prince from a barbaric land. Who would be willing to marry her?"
"So what about the news that's been circulating in the Jiang Mansion these days that you're going to marry the eldest princess?"
"Advance to retreat."
Lin Jiangnian's explanation was concise, but Liu Su quickly understood.
"You're trying to force her to become impatient and initiate the process of breaking off the engagement with the Emperor?"
"That's the case. It depends on whether she is willing to take the bait."
Liu Su stared at him: "What if she doesn't want to?"
"Then I'll run."
Lin Jiangnian sneered, "The court is in chaos right now. The Crown Prince is seriously ill, and the old eunuchs are meddling in politics... Even the Emperor, who's been in seclusion for so long, isn't sure whether he's dead or alive. They're so busy taking care of themselves, how could they care about my marriage?"
"Even if I break off the engagement and return to Linzhou, what can they do to me?"
“…”
Liu Su raised her eyes and glanced at him, then said silently, "If you flee back to Linzhou, your situation will become extremely passive."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Are you concerned about me?"
Liu Su turned her head suddenly, expressionless: "Your life or death has nothing to do with me."
Lin Jiangnian smiled, stood up and sat next to Liu Su. She turned her head suddenly and stared at him warily.
"Breaking off the engagement and fleeing back to Linzhou is naturally a foolish move, but if the timing is right, it can be a complete no-brainer."
Lin Jiangnian paused and said with a smile, "You should already know about the grudges and conflicts between me and the Third Prince, right?"
Liu Su didn't say anything.
The news was spreading all over the capital, so of course she had heard about it a long time ago.
"The Third Prince hates me to the core now, but he can't do anything to me right now. But once he gets a chance to lay his hands on the throne in the capital, things will be completely different..."
"There is the crown prince of the current dynasty, he..."
Liu Su was about to say that there was a crown prince in the current dynasty, but suddenly realized something.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly became seriously ill. Is there any connection between these two events?
"you mean……"
Lin Jiangnian smiled at Liu Su, "The Crown Prince is seriously ill, and this is the Third Prince's chance. He's been keeping a low profile for so long, isn't it just for this day?"
"The only chance in his life is right before his eyes. It's impossible for him not to be tempted. Once he really makes a move, the capital will be in chaos. By then, naturally no one will care about the marriage of a mere prince of Lin."
Liu Su thought for a moment: "What if the Third Prince succeeds?"
"He will let you go?"
"There's no way he'll succeed."
Liu Su understood instantly, her beautiful eyes narrowed: "Are you planning to intervene?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled at Liu Su, "The Third Prince is a prince, but he's restless and trying to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and seize the throne... As the crown prince of the dynasty, shouldn't I have the responsibility to stop him from rebelling and usurping the throne?"
"Have you planned this for a long time?"
"It's just now."
Liu Su fell silent and didn't say anything else. Her face was slightly solemn, as if she was thinking about something.
When she came to her senses, she realized something and lowered her eyes.
"open."
Liu Su gritted her teeth.
Her hand, hidden under her sleeve, had fallen into Lin Jiangnian's hand at some point and was being held tightly by him.
Lin Jiangnian didn't let go, but held her tighter, looking up at her: "I need your help."
"No help." Liu Su glared at him.
"I haven't said what it is yet."
"No help."
"...Didn't you agree not to be angry?"
Liu Su turned her head away and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sat closer to her.
Liu Su stood up subconsciously: "I'm leaving!"
Just as she was about to leave, Lin Jiangnian pulled her back and held her in his arms.
"open!"
Another futile struggle.
In the end, Liu Su gave up.
She gritted her teeth and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug you."
"Go and get your kite."
Lin Jiangnian stared at her for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Are you jealous?"
"Oh, why should I be jealous of her?"
Tsk tsk, I'm about to burst with jealousy.
Still being stubborn.
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help laughing, "Why are you arguing with her?"
"I don't mind."
"You really don't care?"
"without……"
Liu Su opened her mouth, but noticed that Lin Jiangnian's eyes were fixed on her with ill intent.
She immediately became alert and leaned back: "You, what are you doing?"
Lin Jiangnian was about to speak when Liu Su, who was sitting in his arms, suddenly turned her head to look outside the door, and her aura disappeared instantly.
"how……"
Lin Jiangnian noticed her reaction and turned to look outside the door. Soon, he noticed some movement outside.
Is anyone there?
There was a slight movement, as if someone appeared in the yard.
It’s so late, how come there are still people here?
Is it Xiaozhu?
Or another maid?
Lin Jiangnian looked at Liu Su in his arms, but saw that her face was solemn. She stared at the door for a moment, then suddenly stared at him. She didn't say anything, but her stare made Lin Jiangnian a little nervous.
"who?"
Lin Jiangnian looked outside the door and asked.
No response.
Outside the door, there was only the howling cold wind.
"I'll go take a look."
Lin Jiangnian was about to put down Liu Su in his arms and go to open the door to check. Just as he made a move, he was stopped by Liu Su.
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled, but saw Liu Su staring at him with a stern face and silently making mouth shapes.
"Don't go!"
Although he didn't say anything, he seemed very decisive.
Not allowed to go?
Lin Jiangnian glanced outside the door, and the next second, he felt a chill on his back.
Could the person outside the door be...
As soon as the thought came to mind, the atmosphere in the courtyard quietly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Gone?
Lin Jiangnian was stunned. Was it an illusion?
Or... a kite?
But Zhiyuan, why did you suddenly come to him at this time?
"Already gone."
A cold voice came: "Want to find her?"
Liu Su was staring at him coldly.
Lin Jiangnian coughed and said, "Just now, was it a kite?"
"How should I know?"
Liu Su glanced outside the door and said, "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Lin Jiangnian came back to his senses and looked at Liu Su's expressionless face and laughed: "You still say you are not jealous?"
"I don't."
Liu Su struggled to get up: "Go find her, I'm leaving."
Lin Jiangnian didn't let go, holding her tightly in his arms, and shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere tonight."
Liu Su stared into his eyes and suddenly stopped struggling: "Did you say that?"
"I said so."
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I will stay here with you tonight and not go anywhere."
The coldness in Liu Su's eyes softened slightly: "If you don't go find her, aren't you afraid that she'll be angry?"
"Won't you be even angrier if I go find her?"
"So what if I'm angry? What does it have to do with you?"
"Of course."
Lin Jiangnian looked directly into her eyes and said seriously, "If you're angry, I'll feel bad."
At the same time, he silently added in his heart: "If Zhiyuan gets angry, I will also feel distressed."
Although he didn't know why Zhiyuan suddenly came to find him, now was definitely not the time to look for Zhiyuan.
If Liu Su leaves tonight, it will probably be difficult to see her again next time.
We must deal with this woman first.
As for the kite...
I can only bear with her for the time being, and after I deal with Liu Su, I will go and comfort Zhiyuan.
When Liu Su heard Lin Jiangnian's words, her delicate body trembled slightly, she was silent for a moment, and turned her head away: "No need."
The voice was very soft, but it seemed to still carry the last bit of stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
Lin Jiangnian smiled without saying anything. Suddenly, he stretched out a hand, passed it under Liu Su's knees, and picked her up.
“You, what are you doing?!”
Liu Su was shocked.
"It's not a good idea to just sit here. It's getting late. Should we go to bed and rest?"
Liu Su's eyes immediately widened.
Go to bed and rest?
What's his plan?!
"I, I don't want to... put me down!"
When Liu Su came to her senses, Lin Jiangnian had already carried her through the screen and came to the bed in the room, and put her on the big bed that could sleep five or six people.
Liu Su struggled to sit up, but was pushed down again by Lin Jiangnian. He held her with one hand and with the other grabbed the blanket and quickly covered them both.
Sleeping in the same bed!
Under the quilt, Liu Su's pretty face flushed red. The shame and anger that she had just suppressed for a short time surged up again. Her whole body was stiff and tense, and she struggled hard.
"You, you let me go... let me get up..."
Lin Jiangnian hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Don't move... Don't worry, I'll just hold you for a while... Just chat with you, I don't have anything else on my mind..."
Liu Su's delicate body trembled, her ears quickly turned red, her pretty face flushed, she didn't move, and curled up all over.
I don't know if it's because he's nervous or shy, or if he's just acquiescing to something.
But after Lin Jiangnian's comfort, Liu Su seemed to stop resisting.
But, his body was still tense and straight.
It seems even more rigid than the kite at the beginning.
After a while.
"Turn around, don't have your back to me, let me take a good look at you..."
“…”
A while later.
"You smell so good, let me smell it, what kind of aromatherapy do you use?"
“…”
"Your mouth seems a little dry? Are you thirsty? Let me help you..."
"Don't... uh..."
"One mouthful, one hundred million mouthfuls..."
“…”
"Just through the clothes, just once..."
“…”
"This dress is uncomfortable to wear. Come, let me help you take it off..."
“…”
“…”
“…”
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
The lights in the room went out at some point, plunging the room into darkness.
On the bed, under Lin Jiangnian's subtle and increasingly aggressive offensive, Lady Liu retreated step by step, her army was completely defeated, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
Liu Su suddenly opened her eyes, her face flushed, her eyes watery and curved, it was obvious that she was deeply in love, so beautiful that it was beyond words.
But she suddenly stared at Lin Jiangnian, her voice was very soft, trembling, and she asked with a hint of questioning: "You, you and her..."
"Really?"
"Really not."
Liu Su stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, as if she saw the answer she wanted, and finally closed her eyes as if relieved.
Completely gave up resistance.
…
That night, the cold wind howled all night long.
The fierce cold wind was as powerful as a rainbow, constantly beating against the trees in the front yard. The cold wind penetrated back and forth mercilessly through the gaps between the locust leaves, rubbing against the tender green leaves, making a rustling sound.
The trees, still green and not fully grown, seemed unable to withstand the fierce ravages of the cold wind. They were bent over and struggled to hold on, resisting the cold wind.
After enduring a whole night of cold wind, as dawn approached, the trees in the yard finally couldn't bear the weight and fell down, completely succumbing to the cold winter wind.
…
This night.
The courtyard next door.
In the room, Zhiyuan sat at the table, staring at the candle that was about to burn out, then looked up at the door.
It was late at night, and there was no other sound outside the door except the sharp cold wind.
The kite remained silent.
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally slowly let go.
But then, an inexplicable feeling of loss came over me.
At the same time, there is also a bit of uneasiness and doubt.
Some inexplicable anxiety.
She glanced outside the door again, but still no movement.
Finally, she slowly stood up and walked to the door. Just as she was about to push the door open and walk out, her hands stopped moving again.
Hesitated for a long time.
In the end, she still didn't push open the door.
…
