It’s indeed time for the evening meal.

Lu Ziyuan stopped his actions, not intending to continue.

Seeing her turn away with a cold and indifferent look, he felt a bit annoyed and reached out to grab her chin, turning her towards him, and kissed her eyes, smiling, "Alright, let’s have a meal first."

...True, he couldn’t really let the girl labor on an empty stomach.

During the evening meal, Xie Wanqing dared not let him know she overheard those words, trying her best to behave as usual.

She couldn’t just watch him go and kill Pei Yuqing. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She must save him!

But she didn’t know how to do it.

This person was used to feigning compliance while acting the opposite. Even if she tore apart his façade and told him she had overheard their plan, he would probably just pretend to give up and secretly continue to look for an opportunity to strike.

How could she make him give up on killing Pei Yuqing!

This question lingered in her mind, without any solution, even as she lay in bed.

Lu Ziyuan noticed her unease and only thought she was trying to avoid intimacy with him. Yet he wouldn’t let her overthink, holding her waist with one hand and her nape with the other, he lowered his head and kissed her.

The nightwear was thin, and it didn’t take much effort for him to strip the girl underneath.

Xie Wanqing knew she couldn’t refuse tonight, feeling both stifled and hurt in her heart, unbearably worried, she simply closed her eyes, letting him have his way.

The person above her was hot and burning breath, his lips slowly slipping down from her neck...

Knees were parted, held apart.

...

Realizing the young girl’s subdued enthusiasm tonight, he was patient.

He wanted to stir her passion.

Wanted her to give some feedback...

The caress of the person above made Xie Wanqing hold back, finally furrowing her tightly shut brows, she kicked his shoulder irritably and said, "Stop kissing, if you’re doing it, hurry up!"

Lu Ziyuan, who was focused on serving her, was bumped and swayed.

He stopped his movements, and when he raised his head, he saw her full of impatience, which made him grind his teeth in anger.

He was overkind to her!

He clenched his teeth, reaching out to grasp her ankle.

"!!!!"

Xie Wanqing’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

What met her eyes was his handsome face close by, sweat still trailing down his high nose bridge, she instinctively turned her face away.

The kiss fell empty, Lu Ziyuan wasn’t angry, instead, he chuckled, "Wanwan, doesn’t matter if you dislike me..."

While speaking, his actions didn’t stop.

Xie Wanqing couldn’t bother to retort, her hand suddenly gripping the mattress beneath her.

Struggling to hold back the gasp already at the tip of her tongue.

But with this person...there was no way she could restrain with mere self-control.

She wanted to bite her lip to clear her mind, but just as she opened her mouth, the person above her kissed down.

Xie Wanqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, thinking of what he had just done...

But soon, she couldn’t think of anything else.

......

When consciousness returned, he had temporarily withdrawn.

"...Are your legs sore?" His hoarse voice whispered by her ear while his hand was rubbing her leg.

Xie Wanqing raised her hand to cover her eyes, ignoring him.

He kissed her cheek again, coaxing, "It’s my mistake, next time let’s change positions."

Xie Wanqing’s breath hitched, hearing him continue, "Which does Wanwan prefer?"

Her lips twitched fiercely, she dropped her hand, opened her eyes, and looked at him.

Lu Ziyuan met her gaze, seemingly unaware of her anger, shamelessly said, "How about from behind?"

He was quick to act, speaking as he reached to grip her shoulder, turning her around.
