The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 139: Injuring Xie Yunzhen

Ji Mingzhu didn’t want to appease Xie Yunzhen.

But everything sent from the Eastern Palace had been placed in his study, and if the cold war continued, it would delay her proper affairs.

Moreover, all the attendees at this banquet were high-ranking officials, and she needed to confirm some information with Xie Yunzhen.

Hesitating for a moment, she instructed Gold, "Prepare a meal again, I’ll change clothes and go to the study."

She was still wearing the outfit she had worn when entering the palace.

Not exactly formal, but not casual either.

She put on a lotus-pink gauze dress and took down her hair bun, only using a single hairpin to hold her dark hair.

Washing off the makeup, revealing her true appearance.

Her skin was as smooth as silk, her eyebrows green without needing touch-up, her lips red without any enhancement, her features radiant and lovely.

Though she wore no makeup, she was still so beautiful that one couldn’t look away.

Once Ji Mingzhu finished freshening up, the meal was ready too.

By then, it was already evening, and it wasn’t advisable to eat greasy food.

The meal prepared consisted of wontons and iced yuanzi, along with thirst-quenching clear tea.

Taking the food, Ji Mingzhu went to the study alone.

"Young Master, Madam has brought you a late-night snack."

Xie Yunzhen sneered, "She still remembers me, why didn’t she wait until I was starving before coming!"

The words were filled with grievance, leaving the servant unsure of how to respond.

"Get out!"

As soon as he said "get out," the servant quickly moved away.

Even sent the servants away far enough, not letting them disturb the Young Master and Madam.

Ji Mingzhu stood at the doorway, facing the man’s deep and cold gaze.

She only felt a chill down her back.

But since she was already here, if she turned around and left, who knows what this bastard might do.

Ji Mingzhu stepped into the study bravely.

In front of Xie Yunzhen were some documents, fortunately, the desk was big enough, so Ji Mingzhu placed the food in an empty spot.

One standing, one sitting, neither spoke a word.

Xie Yunzhen just continued to stare at her silently, the air growing chilly as if it might freeze.

In the end, it was Ji Mingzhu who gave in first.

She pushed the bowl of wontons forward, "Eat something first."

Xie Yunzhen didn’t move, "Who’ll be responsible if these documents get dirty?"

Ji Mingzhu could only move the wontons back to their original place.

Afraid he’d pick on her again, she moved all the food to another small table at the side.

Ji Mingzhu stood far away, "Young Master, you don’t have to worry about dirtying the documents this time."

Xie Yunzhen leaned back comfortably, stretching his long legs, "Putting it that far, how am I supposed to eat it?"

Confirmed, he was just looking for trouble.

Ji Mingzhu gritted her teeth, "You can move."

"Don’t want to walk, tired."

If she didn’t need something from him, Ji Mingzhu would definitely turn around and leave.

He can eat if he wants!

Exhaling a breath, she tossed her shawl onto a chair, and Ji Mingzhu directly set to moving the small table beside Xie Yunzhen.

Asked with a fake smile, "Young Master, is this suitable?"

A flicker of amusement passed through the man’s eyes.

His left hand was caressing his right wrist, "Maybe from writing too many documents, my hand feels a bit sore."

"Don’t push your luck."

The amusement in the man’s eyes vanished, "I’m your husband, shouldn’t you be concerned about me at times like this?"

Ji Mingzhu said nothing.

Xie Yunzhen laughed instead of being angry, "If it were Yuan Changan, would you still give him the cold shoulder?"

Looking at his cold expression, Ji Mingzhu’s heart inexplicably felt a pang.

A glowing drop unexpectedly fell from the corner of her eye.

The surge of emotions hit her belatedly.

Stirring up a tempest within her.

"Young Master needs care, if you’re dissatisfied with me, you can find someone else."

Ji Mingzhu turned and walked away.

She didn’t know what was wrong with herself, her heart felt sour and unbearable.

Tears fell unexpectedly more.

Perhaps it was Xie Yunzhen’s teasing.

Perhaps his attitude was too cold, making her feel a sense of disgrace.

Maybe it was because he mentioned Yuan Changan, that bright and gentle man who appeared briefly in her life.

The discomfort turned into moisture, pouring out from her eyes.

"Bang!"

The study door slammed shut.

"Let me go!"

Xie Yunzhen didn’t let go, single-handedly wrapped around Ji Mingzhu’s waist, lifting her onto the desk.

Seeing the traces of tears on her face, Xie Yunzhen’s imposing demeanor immediately dissipated.

Realizing he had gone too far, he apologized promptly.

"I just wanted to tease you."

"Is it fun?"

Ji Mingzhu’s eyes reddened, "Does teasing me give you a sense of accomplishment?"

Xie Yunzhen was at a loss.

While wiping her tears, he repeatedly apologized.

"I was wrong."

"Zhu Zhu, I’ll never dare again."

Ji Mingzhu turned a deaf ear, forcefully pushed his chest, "Move aside!"

Xie Yunzhen naturally wouldn’t let her go.

The person hadn’t been comforted yet, if he let her leave like this, she’d definitely cry even longer.

The trouble he had caused, he should take responsibility for.

A person trained in martial arts, his stance was exceptionally steady; unless Xie Yunzhen yielded voluntarily, Ji Mingzhu couldn’t push him away.

The man’s thin lips brushed against her eyes.

"I truly know I was wrong."

He was just jealous.

And somewhat afraid.

If Mingzhu still didn’t love him, if a change occurred, could he still hold onto Mingzhu?

Xie Yunzhen’s lips quivered slightly, his kiss gliding over her eyes, landing on her nose, cheeks, lips...

Ji Mingzhu resisted his kiss, but couldn’t escape, only able to lean backward desperately.

"From now on if I get angry again, hit me."

Xie Yunzhen wrapped an arm around Ji Mingzhu’s waist, supporting her so she wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable.

His other hand gripped her wrist, guiding it to his face, "Zhu Zhu, I truly know I was wrong."

A slap and then a sweet date.

The grievance in Ji Mingzhu’s heart exploded completely, kicking right at his vulnerable spot.

"Get lost! You’re the liar!"

Before, he vowed to listen to her and always treat her well.

And now, it hadn’t been long before he discarded his promises.

Men’s mouths were just full of lies!

Ji Mingzhu wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then fiercely pushed the man in front of her.

He staggered, falling to his knees.

Xie Yunzhen was always agile, but in front of Mingzhu, he let down his guard, never expecting her to kick him there.

His jaw tightened, the entire person slightly disheveled.

Seeing Ji Mingzhu still wanting to leave, he hurriedly reached out to grip her ankle.

Ji Mingzhu was in a furious state, she tried to shake off Xie Yunzhen’s hand.

But she heard a muffled sound come from the man’s mouth.

The veins on his forehead popped out, looking quite pained.

Her gaze lowered, Ji Mingzhu then remembered where she had kicked him.

Tears froze.

Her lips curled oddly.

"You’re still laughing!"

"I’m not."

"I saw it!"

Ji Mingzhu immediately pressed her lips, concerned, "Are you alright?"

The man’s gaze was as dark as pitch.

Ji Mingzhu’s heart quivered.

If Xie Yunzhen became impotent, who knows if his personality would change drastically.

It’s said that when a man has problems in this area, psychological issues easily follow.

And there was the Old Lady and the Commandery Princess... they might even kill her.

No matter the reason, right now, the most crucial thing was to help Xie Yunzhen recover.

Ji Mingzhu hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeve, "I’ll call a doctor, get someone to treat you."

Xie Yunzhen’s eyelids twitched, "You want everyone to know, this Young Master got kicked by his wife? Where does that leave my dignity?"

Still ungrateful.

Leaving one irritated to grind their teeth.

"Young Master, you seem to be alright."

"I am not alright."

Ji Mingzhu took a deep breath, telling herself to put up with him for now.

"So what do you want?"

Xie Yunzhen was confident, "You give me an examination."
