Chapter 33.1
Qingxi’s voice made Shen Zhen’s eyes widen in shock.
“Young Lady?” An momo asked.
Shen Zhen whispered in An momo’s ear: “It’s time for me to go. I’ll talk to momo about this next time.”
She pushed open the door and went out, raised her head and met the man’s eyes.
A candlelight in the room reflected on him.
He had a tall and straight figure and a refined and arrogant appearance. When he saw her coming out, he just said lightly, “It’s time to go.”
Four words, cold and empty, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
Shen Zhen moved to his side, subconsciously touched the beaded hairpin on her head, and then said nonchalantly: “When did My Lord come?” Sometimes people just don’t regret what they say before they blurt it out.
When Shen Zhen really said it, she wanted to bite off her tongue.
This is what it means to say ,the harder one tries to conceal a thing, the more it attracts attention
Lu Yan lowered his head and looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips and said, “Came just now.”
Hearing what he said, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, she didn’t turn back. If she did, she could see Qingxi wildly shaking her head and trying to make eye contact with her.
Lu Yan walked out casuallynand Shen Zhen followed silently behind.
He held the horse and signalled for her to go up by herself.
Shen Zhen tried hard twice but failed, so she turned around and said, “My Lord… I can’t do it. Can you teach me again?” Shen Zhen looked at his eyes and felt uneasy.
She had the feeling that her heard her.
Lu Yan glanced at her, expressionlessly grabbed her waist with both hands and lifted her up.
Shen Zhen grabbed the horse ring and mounted the saddle.
Lu Yan immediately got up afterwards.
On the way back, his speed obviously slowed down a lot, causing Shen Zhen in his arms to always look up at him, once, twice, and on the third time, Lu Yan finally couldn’t help but raise the reins and stop, he lowered his head to look at her.
The bright crescent moon hung in the sky while the leaves in the deep forest were rustling.
The silhouette of a man and a woman riding a horse stood in the bleak evening breeze.
Looking at it from a distance, it is indeed evocative.
Shen Zhen leaned against his solid chest.
Lu Yan knew that this was her usual method of trying to please him and he couldn’t help but sneered coldly.
Aren’t you planning to break up?
Then what’s the point of leaning over?
Although he didn’t say a word, Shen Zhen listened to his fluctuating heartbeat and was convinced that he must have heard it.
She was not qualified to decide how this temporary affair will end. She just thought that according to his temperament, when he got married, he would not leave an outside mistress or leave a mess to his new wife.
She wanted to wait until then to mention leaving.
Now is clearly not the right time.
She took his hand fawningly.
Her hands were soft and white, as if they were boneless and could rub and soften a person’s heart.
When the words “love” and “desire” are blended together in the middle of the night, they are like dry wood meeting fire, igniting at the first touch.
When Shen Zhen saw that he didn’t move away, she raised her head and kissed his adam’s apple.
Her lips were moist, soft and warm, like a glass of strong wine, which makes people happy and addictive…
Lu Yan’s adam’s apple slowly slid down, his eyes were stained with an unknown dark color and veins in the hand holding the reins popped up.
After a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said hoarsely: “Shen Zhen, don’t tease me.”
Such an alluring pair of peach blossom eyes and such an indifferent tone really has managed to create the flirtation and detachment just right.
Shen Zhen looked at him and was about to speak when her chin was lifted slightly.
His careless gaze seemed to be telling her, don’t seduce me, I don’t care if I’m on horseback at the moment.
Shen Zhen whispered: “Is My lord angry?”
How could someone as proud as Lu Yan, admit that he was eavesdropping in a corner.
Just when she was about to explain, Lu Yan suddenly saw two figures appearing in another part of the dense forest.
He frowned slightly, took her into his arms, pressed her tightly to him and whispered in her ear: “There is someone, don’t move, don’t make a sound.”
He leaned down and immediately, a thin and dense kiss fell…
In less than a moment, a few mottled patches fell on her fair cheeks. Shen Zhen lay obediently in his arms, not daring to hide. She could only cooperate with him and make some thought-provoking marks.
He raised his hand and took off her hairpin and her silk black hair poured down…
In another part of the jungle, the man kneeling on the ground carried a baggage and clasped his hands together saying: “Pang Shu, please remember our past friendship and let me go. I swear, I will not say anything! That letter, I will … .will be burned and will never hand it to the Emperor. I will bring the matter of Yangzhou City to the coffin!”
The man standing said nothing, but the sword in his hand was already out of its sheath.
Lu Yan flipped over and dismounted, followed by Shen Zhen.
“Get closer to me,” Lu Yan said as they approached the sound.
As they approached, the man holding the sword suddenly said: “Who is it?” A cold sword sliced through the air, reflecting the moonlight and pointing directly at the two of them
Lu Yan lit the fire folders1(A fire folder is a tightly woven paper roll made of very rough earth paper. After being ignited by fire, it is blown out. At this time, although there is no flame, a red bright spot can be seen burning faintly, just like the afterfire in the ashes, which can remain burning for a long time. The inside of a firecracker is phosphorus and some easily oxidizable substances. When the temperature is high, blowing or quickly shaking it with your mouth will cause it to come into full contact with oxygen and react violently and burn.)
on his body and a beam of firelight leapt up, immediately illuminating the dark and silent dense forest.
When their eyes met, Lu Yan’s eyes immediately changed. He bowed and said, “Nice to meet you, Lord Pang Shu.” His name was Pang Shu and he was one of the most capable people under Zhao Chong’s command.
When Pang Shu saw “Wei Huan”, he couldn’t help but narrowed his eyes and asked warily: “Why is Young Master Wei here at this time?”
