Chapter 171 - 171 I Like Him!
King Gu Han couldn’t help but turn to look at Pei Qian, who seemed to have completely given up on talking. This time, he was really curious!
According to his understanding, Pei Qian had been in charge of the Imperial City Division for many years and worked at the Court of Judicial Review. He had always been sinister and ruthless. Torturing people was his hobby. Yet he actually knew how to make a woman happy…
That scene…
It was terrifying!
How could he possibly coax her? Would he say something like, “Your skin is extremely smooth. It’s a perfect painting base?”
“King Gu Han, it’s really time to change your husband! Didn’t he tell you that the colder a man is, the better he is at coaxing people?!
You didn’t see it because he wasn’t willing to coax you!”
Lin Suisui played with the hair hanging in front of her chest and glanced at King Gu Han. Then, she turned around and snorted. “It’s fine if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I’m in your hands now. Whether or not you kill or torture me is up to you!”
“Alright, I’ll take it that you’re right! But there’s still something I don’t understand!
According to what you just said, your husband should hate you two… ahem, and want to kill you two at all costs!
In that case, if I return you and Mr. Pei to him, won’t you guys have no way out?!
Therefore, could it be that you’re deliberately fooling me here to stall for time so that your husband can get reinforcements?!”
King Gu retracted his gaze from Pei Qian and continued to look at Lin Suisui.
Although he usually looked careless and reckless, if he really used his brain, he could easily see the flaws of this plan.
What the woman in front of him said was really fishy.
It wasn’t that her nonsense was all fake, but it was definitely half-truth.
In the beginning, he was really angry because of this woman’s nonsense, but now, he was really curious!
He really wanted to know what method this delicate and weak woman in front of him would use to escape.
“King Gu Han, are you married or not?! If you are, you should know that if women want to control men in this world, there are many ways!
My husband and I have gone through thick and thin together. Even if I can’t resist the temptation now and did something to let him down, our previous relationship hasn’t disappeared!
Although the mistake I made this time would wear down those feelings, it didn’t completely turn cold. As long as I coax him and sincerely apologize, he will definitely forgive me and not hold it against me!
Besides, although I was in the wrong, wasn’t it because Mr. Pei seduced me?!
Even if my husband wants to kill someone, he should kill the culprit first!
“Besides, only a useless man would blame everything on a woman after such a thing happened!”
Lin Suisui spoke confidently and eloquently. Even in front of the mighty King Gu Han, she didn’t show any signs of weakness or fear.
“Heh, so you’re saying that you’re going to sacrifice Mr. Pei for the sake of your own life?!” Even though King Gu Han was prepared, he was still shocked by Lin Suisui’s quick and decisive change in attitude. He turned around and glanced at Pei Qian, who had been standing at the side without saying a word. “Mr. Pei, this woman is so cunning. Do you regret the sweet nothings you said to her back then?!”
“What’s the use of regretting it?!” Pei Qian looked up nonchalantly. “Besides, it’s not the first time I’ve found out that this woman in front of me is two-faced and heartless!
But I like her!”
“I didn’t expect you to be so affectionate!” King Gu Han was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
Now, he really believed what this woman had said previously!
“Alright, I’ll let you live until tomorrow. If your husband still can’t bring what I want tomorrow, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
As King Gu Han spoke, he gestured to his subordinates beside him. Someone came forward to escort Lin Suisui into the Mountain God Temple. Pei Qian reacted quickly and raised his hand to stop that person from reaching out to grab Lin Suisui. He said coldly, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. Wherever we want to go, we can walk ourselves.”
In the end, Lin Suisui and Pei Qian were driven to a corner of the Mountain God Temple.
Fortunately, King Gu Han still remembered his relationship with Pei Qian and didn’t make things difficult for them. He even arranged a separate bonfire for them. The treatment was even better than before they were captured.
“Your wound has split open.” Lin Suisui turned to look at the wound on Pei Qian’s shoulder and couldn’t help but frown slightly. He must have injured himself in the fight with those northern barbarian soldiers just now. If she didn’t bandage it for him, judging from the bleeding, Pei Qian probably wouldn’t be able to last long before fainting from excessive blood loss.
Pei Qian leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest. When he heard Lin Suisui’s question, he sneered as he said angrily, “Thanks to you, I won’t die for the time being.”
Lin Suisui didn’t respond, but her hands didn’t stop moving. She quickly unwrapped the wound that she had wrapped for Pei Qian previously. As expected, she saw that the wound that had just been bandaged and stitched up was bleeding again.
She didn’t waste any time. She turned around and crawled to the side to drag her bag over. Then, she took out the medicine and clean cloth inside to treat his wound again.
Although King Gu Han sat in the middle of the Mountain God Temple from afar, he still looked over from time to time. Therefore, Lin Suisui’s actions didn’t escape his scrutiny.
The longer he watched, the more he felt that this woman was very interesting!
She had just said that she was going to abandon Pei Qian, but now, she carefully treated his injuries with a worried expression!
Therefore, he really couldn’t understand what the relationship between the two people in front of him and the husband this woman was talking about was?!
