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

Chapter 246 Rong Zhen seeks out Yun Wei to fulfill her promise

"Sister Yun, I'll take this guy back first." Xuan Yuanjing turned around and said to Yun Wei, then tried to drag Pei Qing away.

Pei Qing was furious. "Xuan Yuan Jing, this is utterly disgraceful of you. Let me go right now, or our marriage is off."

Xuanyuan Jing was taken aback, then turned her head and stared straight at him. "So, if I let go of you, will we get married right away?"

Pei Qing: "..."

Shame and indignation made the veins on his neck bulge. "You're a princess, how could you force someone to marry you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

"It's just a joke, it won't hurt me," Xuan Yuanjing said nonchalantly.

Pei Qing: "..."

It's true that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

"Alright, let go of me now," Pei Qing said helplessly.

Xuanyuan Jing realized that he couldn't escape, so he released him as instructed.

Pei Qing rubbed her wrist, which was sore from being strangled, and asked with a puzzled look, "Why did you fall for me?"

"Because you look just like the dog I used to have," Xuan Yuanjing said earnestly.

Pei Qing coughed up blood.

He is handsome and learned, how come he looks like her pet dog?
That's utterly insulting!
"Then why don't you just marry a dog?" Pei Qing said angrily.

“A dog is not a human after all… Pei Qing, are you itching for a beating?” Xuan Yuanjing said, then put her hands on her hips and glared at him angrily.

Pei Qing said awkwardly, "I was just kidding."

Seeing that Xuan Yuanjing really wanted to marry Pei Qing but didn't know how to speak properly, Yunwei stepped forward and said, "Lord Pei, don't listen to A-Jing's nonsense. She actually likes you, that's why she wants to marry you."

"She likes me?" Pei Qing looked at Xuan Yuanjing in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, the usually carefree Xuan Yuanjing blushed slightly and did not refute Yun Wei's words.

Pei Qing stared at the blush on her face, feeling as if the sun was about to rise in the west, and asked uncertainly, "Do you really like me?"

Xuan Yuanjing said fiercely, "Who likes a pedantic scholar like you?"

Pei Qing said sullenly, "That's true. It would be a miracle if you liked me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing opened her lips as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Yunwei smiled and said, "Lord Pei, why don't you think about it? There are so many talented young men in the capital, why did A-Jing only set her sights on you?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing blushed slightly and glanced at Xuan Yuanjing. Seeing that she did not refute Yun Wei's words, he was quite shocked.

He thought she wanted to marry him because of her mother.

However, he is a handsome man after all, so it's not surprising that he would like him.

Moreover, his mother had been pressuring him to get married. Before, Rong Zhen was there to stand in his way, which he could use as an excuse, but now that Rong Zhen was married, he had no excuse left.

Rather than marrying a woman he doesn't know, he'd rather marry Xuanyuan Jing.

Thinking of this, he coughed softly and said to Yun Wei, "I'm sorry to have bothered you today. I'll take Xuan Yuanjing back first."

Yun Wei nodded. "Okay."

"Let's go back." Pei Qing turned to look at Xuan Yuan Jing.

"Mm." Xuan Yuanjing nodded.

Pei Qing felt a little uncomfortable seeing her become so quiet now.

Does this savage woman really like him?
He found it incredible.

However, he didn't actually dislike her.

Of all the noble ladies in the capital, none of them are as affected and pretentious as she is.

Pei Qing curled his lips, put his hands behind his back, and left the Regent's Palace.

As soon as he left, Xuan Yuanjing immediately reverted to her original demeanor, winked at Yun Wei, and said gratefully, "Thanks! Once I successfully marry into the Pei family, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Yun Wei smiled and said, "Then I wish you success."

Xuanyuan Jing skipped and hopped away.

Yunwei returned to Qingxue Courtyard and was about to ask someone to prepare water for her bath when she saw Rong Zhen sitting in the room, with food already laid out on the table. "You...when did you arrive?" Yunwei was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Just now," Rong Zhen said gently, taking her hand and making her sit down beside him. "Let's eat, the food will get cold soon."

Yunwei wanted to take a shower first because she felt sticky and uncomfortable.

But since the food was already laid out, we had no choice but to sit down and eat.

Yunwei ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen asked in confusion, "Why are you so distracted? Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, I just don't feel hungry." Yunwei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "You eat, I'm going to take a bath."

"How can you eat so little? It's fine if you don't eat the rice, but at least drink a bowl of soup." Rong Zhen frowned when he saw that she only ate a few bites and then stopped eating. He then served her another bowl of soup.

Seeing that there was more meat than soup in the bowl, Yunwei frowned and said, "There's too much meat."

"There's not much meat, it's all bones." Rong Zhen glanced at her and said slowly, but the smile on his lips was somewhat meaningful.

Yun Wei: "..."

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the flesh around her waist.

She's actually not very thin.

"It's poking me," Rong Zhen whispered in her ear.

The man's warm breath brushed against the skin near her ear, and Yunwei immediately felt a tingling sensation throughout her body.

She silently picked up the bowl and began to eat.

After she finished eating, Rong Zhen also finished eating.

He put down his chopsticks and asked, "It's still early, why were you in such a hurry to take a bath?"

Yunwei couldn't possibly say that she was too sticky, so she simply said, "It's cold, I want to go to bed early."

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then nodded. "That suits me perfectly."

Yun Wei: "..."

Ever since that incident, she automatically interprets anything he says in a suggestive way.

She coughed lightly and explained, "That's not what I meant, don't overthink it."

"Am I the one overthinking things?" Rong Zhen reached out and pinched her chin. "But you, don't forget to keep your promise."

What did she promise?
Just as Yunwei was thinking this, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.

Yes, she mentioned it in the study...

Just then, Rong Zhen suddenly stood up and picked her up in his arms.

Yunwei snapped out of her daze and looked at him blankly. "What?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to take a bath?" Rong Zhen looked down at her.

Yunwei suddenly felt a little flustered. "I can go by myself."

“Going together will save time.” Rong Zhen smiled, picked her up, and strode into the clean room.

Yunwei's mind went blank for a moment.

Bathing together?
When she came to her senses, the two of them were already in the clean room.

"I'm not used to showering with other people," Yunwei said dryly.

“I’m not just anyone, and besides, you’ll get used to it after a few more washes.” As Rong Zhen spoke, he bent down and began to untie her sash.

Yun Wei: "..."

"Do you remember the hot spring at the villa yesterday? We soaked in it together," Rong Zhen reminded her in a low voice.

When Yunwei remembered this, she unconsciously dug her toes into the ground.

At the time, she thought she was having a wet dream...

Lost in thought, her dress had fallen to the ground.
