Chapter 928: Long Feiye, accept your punishmen (2/2)
“What’s going on?” his face turned gloomy at once. Before Han Yunxi could reply, he’d already pushed her down to demand, “Han Yunxi, just what happened?!”
He’d bitten her there and left a mark, but it wasn’t deep at all. It wouldn’t have left a scar! How did that happen?
When Han Yunxi saw the ruthless rage in Long Feiye’s eyes, she suddenly realized he must have misunderstood the situation. Who else could have left that scar except for him? She couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “I asked Mu Linger for some medicine to keep a permanent record of your crimes when you bullied an invalid like me.”
Long Feiye’s ghastly expression softened somewhat. He was about to lose it before this woman. She had ignited his seven emotions and six desires and even controlled his moods. A single misunderstanding was enough to destroy his hard heart. He brushed his fingers gently over the scar and examined it carefully. In a warm tone, he said, “Han Yunxi, I’ll admit to this crime!”
Han Yunxi grinned. “Alright. Seeing as you’re good enough to admit your wrongs, I’ll lighten your sentence. You can just…” She too, softened her tone. “Long Feiye, your punishment is to...love me forever. Do you accept?”
“I accept.”
Long Feiye’s scar on his hand matched that of Han Yunxi’s chest, as if they were there from birth. He stared at the mark until his thoughts drifted away and Han Yunxi hugged him, pulling him down until she was whispering into his ear in submission.
“Long Feiye, I beg you. Love me…”
In the silence of the night, the hazy moon illuminated a land of warmth of tenderness, where a man found solace in feminine charms and intoxicating beauty beyond the veil of the bed curtains....

Early next morning, Long Feiye awoke when Han Yunxi was still lost in slumber. Unlike before, he woke her up instead of carefully slipping away.
“I’ll be waiting at the gates of the black market for you after noon,” he said.
Although he wanted to take her away from Three-Way Black Market as soon as possible, Long Feiye still gave Han Yunxi enough time to conclude affairs at Myriad Merchant Hall. Han Yunxi was immediately awake. By the time Long Feiye left, she had already summoned a servant girl to tidy herself up and rush to the prison cells. At last, she could save the Tang Clan Head, Tang Li!
It had been two days since Tang Li last saw Han Yunxi, so he almost fell to his knees at the sight of her. “Sister-in-law, what took you so long?! How’s Ning Jing been doing the past few days? Is she feeling better? Still taking her medicine? Does she still get uncomfortable? Or throw up? What about edema? Can she fall asleep at night? Or the daytime--does she like napping in the day?”
As Han Yunxi stared at him in disbelief, he asked her a whole pile of questions. Finally, he added, “Is my daughter well-behaved?”
Tang Li had completely surpassed Han Yunxi’s expectations. “You know quite a lot!” she remarked.
“Just how is she doing?” Tang Li asked anxiously.
“How are you so sure she’s pregnant with a girl?” Han Yunxi shot back.
Tang Li didn’t reply, nor did he press Han Yunxi. Instead, he resorted to pleading. “Sister-in-law, can you think of a way for me to meet her? Just one glance is enough! I’ll slip out and sneak back in, it won’t take long. No one will catch me!”
Han Yunxi shook her head. “Sorry, I can’t do that.”
Tang Li lost his temper. “I want to see my big bro!”
He didn’t have the skills to escape, but his big brother definitely had the means to tow him out. Even if it exposed the relationship between the Tang Clan and East Qin, he wouldn’t begrudge them. He never planned to get any advantages out of Ning Jing anyways, much less force her to trick the Di Clan. His only thought now was to bring Ning Jing home so she could take good care of herself and the baby. He was going to be a father!
When Han Yunxi saw Tang Li nearly driven to insanity, she couldn’t help but wonder how Long Feiye would react when she got pregnant one day?
“Sister-in-law!” Tang Li pleaded. He was almost ready to take her hostage to charge past those archers guarding the prison.
“Your big brother won’t help you either! If you want to get out, then promise me one thing,” Han Yunxi grinned.
Tang Li immediately shut up and waited for her to finish. Han Yunxi lowered her voice and whispered a whole bunch of words by his ears. Only then did Tang Li knew everything that she’d been doing at Myriad Merchant Hall for the past few days.
“In other words, they’ll all listen to you?” Tang Li asked.
“They listened to me for even bigger matters, to say nothing of a small thing like you,” Han Yunxi smiled.
“This is no small matter…” Tang Li felt wronged.
Han Yunxi gave up and relented. “Alright, alright, your matters are a big deal too. I’ll go find the head elder right now.”
“Hurry and go!” Tang Li was basically chasing her off. For the first time, Han Yunxi witnessed what it meant to experience the joys of being a father. Seeing Tang Li so happy, she felt great as well. She left the cells to find the head elder, but…
