The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 164 If you won't marry me, who will you marry?

Her face flushed slightly. She turned away, pretending not to understand him. "Then how would Your Highness like me to thank you? Should I treat you to a meal? Or do you need my help with something?"

"No need for a meal, and I don't need your help with anything, I just need..."

A deep, resonant voice slowly rose from behind.

Just as Yunwei was about to turn around, a pleasant, refreshing scent suddenly wafted into her nostrils.

Before she could react, the man's hard, muscular chest was pressed against her back, and his arms wrapped around her waist.

Yunwei's long, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and a blush immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

This intimate embrace made her heart pound uncontrollably.

She felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

After a moment, she steadied herself and turned to look at the man behind her. "You... um!"

She had barely uttered a single word when her lips were sealed by the man's.

Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, but her face turned even redder.

Perhaps it was because this wasn't her own territory that she felt so insecure.

It's one thing if it's your own territory; even if your servants see it, they wouldn't dare to gossip. But this is Rong Zhen's territory.

It wouldn't be good if the two of them, who are not yet married, were to engage in such intimate behavior and be seen by others.

She just didn't have that kind of thick skin.

Just as she was about to push the man away, he pressed his lips to hers and said, "Don't worry, there's no one here. The area has been cleared out."

Yun Wei: "..."

How does this man know what she's thinking?
And... clearing the area?
Realizing what was happening, she was filled with shame and anger.

So, this man had planned this all along?

Unable to resist, she took his lips into her mouth and bit them hard.

Unexpectedly, after the man let out a muffled groan of pain, he seemed to receive some kind of encouragement and became even more excited.

She was half-pressed against the tree trunk, her face tilted back, forced to endure his onslaught.

Unidentified petals fluttered down from the branches, like a rain of flowers.

Finally, a petal landed by sheer coincidence on their intertwined lips, bringing this tender moment to an end.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Rong Zhen paused and suddenly tucked the orange-red petal that had fallen between their lips into his own.

Yunwei was shocked, "Don't eat random things... um!"

The regent not only ate it, but also fed it into her mouth.

Just as Yunwei was about to vomit, the man chuckled and said in a low voice, "This is osmanthus, it's edible."

Yunwei paused, unsure whether to swallow or spit it out.

Seeing the worry on her face, Rong Zhen chuckled softly, reached out and touched her hair, and said slowly, "Isn't it a little too late to start worrying now?"

"Huh?" Yunwei asked, puzzled.

Rong Zhen's gaze lingered on her swollen, bright red lips for a moment, then he said meaningfully, "You've already drunk quite a bit."

Yun Wei was taken aback at first, but after realizing what he meant, even someone as thick-skinned as her couldn't help but blush.

"Rong Zhen!" she angrily punched him in the chest.

Rong Zhen grunted and took her hand in his. He was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, his eyes were full of pleasure.

It's truly rare to see her so girlish and delicate.

Seeing that she was getting increasingly annoyed, he stopped laughing, coughed lightly, and gently patted her back. "Don't be annoyed." He paused, then added, "I'm very healthy and clean, and I guarantee I don't have any diseases."

Yun Wei: "..."

Is this what she is talking about?
“I’ve drunk quite a bit of yours too,” Rong Zhen added. Yun Wei: “…”

"Alright, stop being angry. I'll take you to see a place." Rong Zhen took her hand and led her towards the courtyard on the side.

Yunwei was initially annoyed, but when she saw the plaque above the courtyard, she asked incredulously, "Why do you have a Qingxue Courtyard here?"

That's right, the courtyard in front of us is also called Qingxue Courtyard, and the layout and size of the gate are almost identical to the Qingxue Courtyard in Qingyi Garden.

Rong Zhen smiled, but didn't say anything. Instead, he took her hand and pushed open the door to enter the courtyard.

Stepping through the gate, you enter a spacious courtyard with several crabapple trees. At this time of year, the crabapple blossoms have faded, but the branches are laden with bright red crabapples.

A clump of phoenix tail bamboo was planted in the corner of the wall.

It's exactly the same as her Seisekuin.

Seeing this, how could she not understand?

She turned to look at the man. "Did you specially renovate this courtyard for me?"

"Yes." Rong Zhen did not deny it. "After you marry into the family, you will live here. It's close to the front yard."

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then deliberately said, "I never said I wanted to marry you."

"I've let you kiss me, I've let you touch me, if you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?" Rong Zhen tightened his grip on her hand.

Yun Wei's lips twitched slightly, as if she had taken advantage of him in some great way.

But this man was indeed thoughtful.

He had only visited her Qingxue Courtyard once, yet he had memorized its layout and even built a courtyard modeled after it.

Rong Zhen took her for a walk around the courtyard, and finally led her into the house.

The layout of the house was similar to her courtyard in Qingyi Garden.

She was very satisfied, but said aloud, "I originally thought that marrying you would be like living in a different environment, which would be interesting. I didn't expect you to make the whole yard exactly the same."

Rong Zhen sensed the disappointment in her words, his brows furrowed, and he quickly said, "If you don't like it, I'll tear this place down and renovate it."

Yunwei noticed his anxiety, shook his hand, and said softly with a smile, "I was just kidding. I actually really like it here."

"Really?" Rong Zhen stared into her eyes. "If you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself."

"I was just kidding." Yun Wei's smile faded, and her face became serious. "How could I not like it when you put so much effort into it?"

Rong Zhen was finally relieved.

The two came out of the backyard and were surprised to see Rong Xue leaning against the wall.

As he popped peanuts into his mouth, he said sarcastically, "I thought you guys wouldn't come out of the backyard until tomorrow morning."

The two looked slightly stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Rong Zhen scolded.

Rong Xue said with a grin, "Uncle, don't be angry, I was just joking. By the way, I brought someone with me, Uncle, why don't you meet him?" With that, she hurriedly ran out.

Rong Zhen ignored him and took Yun Wei's hand, saying, "After dinner, I'll take you back."

Seeing that it was already dark, Yunwei didn't refuse and said, "Okay."

Just as the two were about to enter the dining hall, Rong Xue brought someone in from outside.

"The daughter of a disgraced official greets the Regent." As soon as the woman entered, she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Yun Wei looked surprised, her gaze falling on the woman in crimson on the ground.

It was already late autumn, but the woman's clothes were very thin, even somewhat revealing, while her face was heavily made up.

She didn't look up, remaining cramped and uneasy.

Who is this person?
