Shameless (2)
Towards Li Hong Yuan’s deeds, Luo Old Madam was actually very pleased. Once she learned that Jin Qinwang was indeed not like how he was on the surface, with a thoroughly rotten reputation, and no power nor influence, she immediately nodded in approval. Most importantly, he was able to shield Wan Wan. In reality, on this bit, there was nothing to nitpick. If it was anyone else, for example the previous Chen Zheng Min or Sun Yi Lin, encountering today’s matter, they would only be able to remain silent. No matter how angry they were, they would still only be able to helplessly watch Wan Wan get bullied. At most, they could only just vow in their hearts what to do in the future, but most people would only see the present. Even if in the future, they’re able to take revenge, the grievances at present were still true and real.
She further hoped for Wan Wan to not suffer the slightest grievance at all.
Once they left the Gong Qinwang Manor, everyone climbed into their carriage, and afterwards, not long after, they got intercepted halfway.
To dare do this kind of thing this openly, aside from a certain someone, there was none other.
Fortunately, the ones that came together with Luo Old Madam were just Jing Wan and Sun Yi Jia. As for the others, even Wang-shi didn’t come.
The words that Li Hong Yuan said at the time when he went to look for Luo Pei Shan, Luo Pei Shan for the most part repeated to his old wife exactly as said. If one were to let Wan Wan spend alone time with him, to want her granddaughter to be completely ‘pure’ and not get taken advantage of at all, that was definitely impossible. But, can you stop him? If he really got stopped, then he probably won’t be the living Enma. That’s why, this grandson-in-law, the places that were satisfactory made one very satisfied, and the dissatisfactory areas just made one hate they can’t chop him up.
Luo Old Madam ultimately sighed, and could only nod in agreement, just hoping Jin Qinwang doesn’t go overboard.
Li Hong Yuan just let Gong Mama stay behind to serve, having the rest all brushed aside.
Sun Yi Jia watched Jing Wan get on Jin Qinwang’s horse carriage. It didn’t have the qinwang manor’s mark, nor was it a conspicuous horse carriage. Recalling his ‘illustrious bad reputation’, she worried that Jing Wan would suffer. Even if the two of them already were engaged, but for every day they are not married, they’re still a lone man and woman alone together. If others find out, it will similarly ruin one’s reputation. So long as there was a bit of care, then he shouldn’t have done something like this. As expected, the rivers and mountains easy to change, but one’s inherent nature difficult to alter. Enduring again and again, she ultimately was unable to endure. Sun Yi Jia jump down from the carriage after her.
“Yi Jia, come to grandmother’s carriage.”
Sun Yi Jia got called to a halt by Luo Old Madam. Seeing Luo Old Madam holding up the window curtains, then looking to the already beginning to move Jin Qinwang horse carriage, she hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave up and didn’t chase after. Luo Old Madam loved little sister Wan dearly, yet was this easy-going and calm, so there shouldn’t be any problems, right? Turning around, she climbed onto Luo Old Madam’s carriage, “Grandmother………..”
Luo Old Madam had her pulled to her side to sit down. The horse carriage slowly advanced, and a moment later, Luo Old Madam finally opened her mouth, “Jin Qinwang treats Wan Wan differently, you don’t need to worry.”
Sun Yi Jia blanked. She didn’t understand what this meant, but seeing Luo Old Madam not having the intention to say more, she could only have the doubt pressed down in her heart. “I understand grandmother.”
“You are similarly a good child. Speaking from status, marrying Jing Bo, you are the one that’s wronged……..”
“Not at all, grandmother, I don’t feel wronged at all, really, not a bit wronged at all.” Sun Yi Jia paused, “To tell you the truth, in the Luo family, I feel much happier than when I was living in the Ding Duke Manor. To be able to marry Jing Bo is my greatest fortune in this life, good fortune cultivated from eight lifetimes.”
“For Jing Bo to be able to marry you, that is also his good fortune. Your maiden family’s matters, you also don’t need to think too much about, just properly live out your days with Jing Bo. As for grandmother, I don’t ask for Wan Wan to have great glory or wealth, just wishing for her to be well. Towards you all, it is also the same hope. Just, the heavens seemingly want to splash her with riches and honor, but whether or not her days will be smooth, that is hard to say. She hopes for us to be well, that’s why, you all absolutely must be well.”
Sun Yi Jia’s eyes reddened. How could she still not understand Luo Old Madam’s meaning. A pair for a lifetime, she also knew and even supported, “Grandmother……….”
TN: All
“Alright, alright, what are you crying for, let’s not talk about these anymore. If you don’t disdain grandmother, this old woman, then just chat with grandmother. You can say anything you want.” Perhaps it was still because of Jing Wan, towards the people close to Jing Wan, she was always a little more patient towards.
On the other side, Jing Wan was sitting on the lateral side of the horse carriage with her head slightly lowered, while Li Hong Yuan sat half-leaning in the middle. From the moment Jing Wan got on the carriage, his line of sight has never left her. If Jing Wan knew, he previously smashed a jug of wine, dirtying his clothes and shoes, then this while, she will have noticed that he’s already changed into a completely different set of outfit.
This carriage, looking from the outside, didn’t appear conspicuous, but it was actually very big. The decorations inside were also very luxurious. Compared to that one that Jing Wan once stayed in before for a brief period of time, this one was not inferior in any aspect. Every little bit all revealed that Jin Qinwang had money, super rich, yet wasn’t the least bit crude, extremely tasteful and matching with his status. Moreover, Jin Qinwang was clearly even one to know how to enjoy life. Luxury, elegance, and comfort, these three, when combined together, was further difficult to satisfy, but on this person, it was seemingly just a piece of cake.
“Come over.”
Li Hong Yuan’s rather deep voice sounded, relatively soft, more or less just audible enough for Jing Wan to hear and not frighten her because of his sudden voice. Jing Wan lifted her head. Li Hong Yuan pointed to the cushioned seat in front of him, that intention couldn’t be more obvious.
Jing Wan hesitated for a moment, but still got up and sat over, reason one being that she can’t refuse. Even if unyielding, one still needed to choose the right target. It was obvious, towards Li Hong Yuan, it’d be useless. Besides, Jing Wan wasn’t a real ‘locally bred’ ancient person. Her notion towards the reservation between man and woman, from beginning to end, was never that heavy. The other party was her fiancee, and at present, there was no one, so moving a little close wasn’t a problem. Although her subconscious mind rejected frivolous stud horse-like men, but towards Li Hong Yuan, she didn’t have any expectations, and further didn’t hope for love. Sooner or later they would need to come to this step, so she wasn’t very resistant either.
Li Hong Yuan very naturally embraced Jing Wan’s waist, slightly using a bit of strength to have her moved inwards, preventing her from sitting unstably, and at the same time, also leaning even closer towards him.
Jing Wan subconsciously reached out, blocking her hands on his chest. However, even if her strength was much stronger than an ordinary young lady’s, compared to Li Hong Yuan, she was still too far apart. His other hand grasped Jing Wan’s scallion-like, delicate and slender fingers, lightly caressing…………
Jing Wan, in her past life, also held hands with her boyfriend before, but that ex-boyfriend, compared to this one before her, that was just heavens apart. Moreover, this off the charts attractive man was even gently and lovingly gazing at you, as if you’re his whole world. The sensation at her fingertips uncontrollably pulsed with electricity, engulfing her entire body, tingly and numbing. Her body couldn’t help but tremble.
“Wangye…….”
“En?” Li Hong Yuan softly responded, his voice deep and enticing, pulling her hand to his lips and kissing her fingertips, once, twice, three times………..taking turns, not letting a single finger slip by.
Jing Wan just felt Li Hong Yuan’s lips were slightly cold. All say, he was that type of flawlessly beautiful man, so naturally this lip shape was exceptionally good-looking. Even Jing Wan all somewhat had the urge to want to close in and have a taste of his lips. Although it’s not like she’s never kissed him before, but at the time, she was being forcibly kissed by him while he was half-conscious and muddled from a high fever. She was nearly scared to death that time, who would still be in the mood to experience that taste? Thinking like this, Jing Wan unconsciously swallowed her saliva, and when Jing Wan realized what she had done, her face instantly flushed red, lowering her head, and hating that she can’t turn into an ostrich.
Jing Wan absolutely refused to admit that she was a lustful girl, it was all this bastard’s fault.
Jing Wan’s series of reactions naturally all fell into Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, hooking his lips and letting out a soft chuckle.
Li Hong Yuan let go of her hand and pinched her chin, slightly exerting strength, forcing her to lift her head. Afterwards, his hand moved along her neck to the backside, hooking her nape, exerting force at the same time with the hand on her waist. Their bodies tightly glued together. Li Hong Yuan slightly lowered his head, their lips practically touching, “Let you have a taste?” Li Hong Yuan enticingly coaxed, his breath brushing her face……………
T/N: I died a little at the scallion fingers part because I kept thinking about the withered scallions in my fridge.
