Chapter 205: Urging On

“Don’t tease me! Stop!” Sang Wang could not handle him messing around and clumsily tried to block him while complaining, “My body is still aching from just now and doesn’t have the strength, yet here you are teasing me!”

Shi Fengju pinched her on the waist lightly before pulling her into a tight embrace, “Who asked you to get distracted when you’re by my side?”

“Since when was I!” Sang Wan flinched.

Shi Fengju lowered his gaze to her and smiled, “Silly Sang Wan, as someone who shares the same bed as me, do you think it’ll be possible for you to hide anything from me? Tell me, is there something on your mind? Mm?”

Since he had asked, Sang Wan’s eyes darkened and she let out a soft sigh before replying, “There is, but please don’t get mad after hearing me out.”

From her expression, Shi Fengju could tell that she was being serious, and he immediately stopped messing around. Thinking that Sang Wan must be feeling wronged by others, he gently tried to coax her. Sang Wan could not help but have mixed feelings.

But after hearing what happened today from Sang Wan, Shi Fengju’s expression immediately darkened.

“That rascal from the Hong family is really shameless! How dare he ask Third Sister to be his concubine!”

“Keep your volume down!” Sang Wan tugged at him lightly before she sighed, “Who knows what they have in mind! Regardless, they have already sent people here to deliver the proposal, and Mother seems to be considering it, what do you…”

“Definitely not!” Shi Fengju replied coldly, “Although Hong Xi and his father had settled here for only about half a year, he’s famous for being a good-for-nothing who spends his time gambling and visiting brothels. I will never allow Third Sister to marry a person like him, it will only ruin her entire life! Truly, Mother must not have thought it through!”

“Mother does not know much about what is happening outside. That is why the Hong family is able to boast erroneously in front of her. You have to persuade her otherwise tomorrow!” Seeing that Shi Fengju was completely against the marriage proposal, Sang Wan felt as if a huge weight had been lifted.

“That is a must of course. Our family has not fallen to a point where we need to use a missy to exchange for benefits, and Third Sister is my younger sister, there’s no way I could bear to watch her jump into the pits of hell! What’s more, Third Sister had already rejected Hong Xi in the plum blossom forest, should she marry into his family, she would definitely not be able to lead a peaceful life! I will definitely not allow it to happen.”

Sang Wan answered delightfully, “With your words, I can finally be at ease! I went to visit Third Sister today. Seeing her cry so sorrowfully, my heart felt miserable too!”

Shi Fengju took another glance at her and smiled, “Third Sister is closer to you than anyone else, but I didn’t know you two were close to this extent! You must be very concerned about her well-being, aren’t you?”

Sang Wan glanced at him and replied, “how would you men understand the difficulty that us women face? Indeed, we are close with each other, but I am also showing concern out of empathy. Women have no control over their own marriage. Marrying an understanding husband will be a wife’s blessing, but if she were married to a bad one, there is nothing she can do but to bear with it. I can’t bear to watch a fine woman like her fall into the hands of such a man and endure endless suffering in the future! ”

Shi Fengju went silent, before he spoke mock himself, “Are you still upset about the past and blaming me for not treating you well?”

Regretting her words, Sang Wan shook her head and smiled, “I am not blaming you, I was just speaking my mind! And you didn’t treat me badly then…”

“Sang Wan!” Before she could finish her words, Shi Fengju gave her a tight hug, and caressed her face as he apologized, “I’m sorry!”

Dumbfounded, Sang Wan simply looked at him dazedly.

Shi Fengju smiled, “You are innocent, I shouldn’t have blamed you for something you didn’t do. Don’t be angry anymore, alright?”

Tears filled Sang Wan’s eyes. She avoided his gaze and buried her head in his chest, “Please, don’t say that, Lord. We are getting along well now, aren’t we? I am not angry at all, I promise.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

Shi Fengju smiled as he tilted her chin towards him and said, “I will believe you if you give me a kiss!”

Geez…This person was so cheeky!

With his blazing gaze staring right at her, she had no choice but to lean forward and give him a peck on his cheek.

Shi Fengju laughed as his eyes glistened brightly, “That isn’t counted, you have to kiss me here for it to count!” He pointed to his lips.
