BXBX NOVEL Chapter 290 - Night was the best time
Chapter 290 Night was the best time
Chang Nuo and Meng Ying were both in servant clothes, which raised He Danggui’s curiosity. She asked, “What are you doing? You are honored guests of Luo’s Mansion. Why are you wearing these clothes?” When seeing the quilt in Chang Nuo’s arms, she suddenly remembered that Chang Nuo was to bring her quilt “one year ago.” That was a long time.
Chang Nuo went to inspect Zhu Quan’s situation and took off the green hat. He might have seen that Zhu Quan slept with his eyes half open before. He closed Zhu Quan’s eyes, as if he was handling a dead man. Then he picked Zhu Quan up sideways and turned around to ask He Danggui, “Did he scare you?”
Finally, there was a reasonable guy who did not accuse her! He Danggui shook her head and said, “Not at all. But I am very tired and want to be alone.”
Before Chang Nuo spoke, Meng Ying cut in, “Miss He, who are you going to marry? Are you pregnant?”
“That man. Tie him...” Zhu’s mouth was covered by He Danggui’s hand, and the following words turned into a string of snorts.
He Danggui calmly explained, “My nephew has had a bad brain since he was born. We are still working on healing him. You don’t have to listen to him.” Then, before they questioned her, she showed them the door, “This is my bedroom for the time being. I don’t like people vising here at night without knocking.”
Chang Nuo and Meng Ying looked at each other. Then, Chang Nuo nodded to He Danggui, “Good night.” When they were about to leave, Zhu Quan suddenly woke up. He struggled to jump out of Chang Nuo’s arms and asked, “What happened to me?”
Chang Nuo whispered a few words to him. Though He Danggui couldn’t hear the conversation, she saw Chang Nuo glimpse at her.
Seeing that Zhu Quan was silent, Chang Nuo whispered again. This time, He Danggui heard Chang Nuo’s question, “Did you make her pregnant last time?” He Danggui flew into a rage. What a jerk! Zhu Quan sexually harassed her and even showed it off to others! Who else knew that?
Zhu Quan was also confused. Last time he suddenly became “addicted” as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou City. That feeling was like a drug addict without drugs. He was out of breath and lost his balance. His world was spinning around. At that time, he didn’t bring a portrait of Concubine He. By the way, a simple portrait was no longer useful to him. So, he immediately thought of the woman who caused his addiction, and Luo’s Mansion was not far away from him.
Soon, he sneaked into Tao Yao Yard and saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed. That was a silent invitation to him! His addiction was even relieved a little bit. He took off the boots and went to bed. Her cheeks were pale pink, and her nose was cute. She was even prettier than Concubine He in the Dream, but she was a bit thinner. Her black hair was still a little damp, and it seemed that she had just bathed. Leaning face on her shoulders, he felt the sweet fragrance lingering around the tip of his nose. He could no longer suppress his frenzied emotions. This woman belonged to him!
Just at this moment, the beautiful woman groaned and wrinkled her crescent eyebrows into two small bumps, as if she had known someone was smelling her fragrance on the sly and was about to wake up at any time. Therefore, Zhu Quan took out a sachet with the scent of green tea and hung it around her neck. He didn’t want to see her sharp eyes. He still remembered that her eyes were sharp as a knife as if she wanted to cut two holes in him three years ago.
The sachet came from his teacher Bai Yangbai. If he wanted to do something with a miss at night, the sachet would be necessary. It was more effective than any aphrodisiac. All women who smelled the sachet would become proactive and wouldn’t attempt suicide afterwards.
This was the first time he had used it, so he was skeptical about its efficiency. However, it didn’t take long before her jade-like arms wrapped around his neck. Her small hands overlapped at the back side of his head. Her fragrance and her half-opened lips were tempting him. So, he quickly removed his clothes and enjoyed her beauty.
He thought that she must want to be his wife, so she imprisoned his heart with some sorceries. Well, it was the right time for him to inspect the goods first.
Memory fragments were flashing in his mind constantly, including their tea tasting by the furnace, the depression of her betrayal, and the grief of losing her. Everything turned into a flame. The Concubine He that he once lost was actually lying under him, like a puddle of water… His mind had entered a crazy state, and he couldn’t realize what he was doing. However, he heard two women coming over, and he had to stop his work. What bad luck!
He looked at the woman under him. It seemed that he hadn’t done a full process. And the other parts of her body that he didn’t touch were still tempting him heavily… Then he took off the sachet on her neck, hurriedly got out of bed to dress up, and flew out of the window before the door was opened. That was his first crime, and he concluded that night was the best time for him. There was much interference in the daytime.
He Danggui’s eyes were covered by glooms. Zhu Quan remembered that he didn’t do a full process. However, he was not sober at that time… Maybe he was wrong? Chang Nuo said that she was pregnant and was trying to solve this problem. And the little boy said that he, Zhu Quan, was the baby’s father. Chang Nuo asked him whether he made her pregnant last time, and he was confused. Maybe he did make her pregnant? He was going to be a father?
He was going to be a father!
As soon as the thought jumped into his mind, a strong feeling of joy suddenly appeared in Zhu Quan’s heart. It was strange and creepy. Then, his body seemed to be out of his control. He pushed away Chang Nuo, who was whispering to him, and walked to He Danggui. He held her hands and laughed happily, “Ha-ha! Yiyi, we have a child again! Again! We can be together forever!”
He Danggui was frightened and angry. She wanted to take her hands back, but she failed because Zhu Quan held them so tight. So, she said in a deep voice, “Let go of my hands.”
Zhu Quan was conscious, but he felt there was another person in his body. That person shook “his head” vigorously and squeezed out two damn drops of “his tears”. “His mouth” made a painful voice, “Yiyi, I will never let you go again. I’m back for you. Please, look at me.” However, the real Zhu Quan was annoyed. Who was manipulating him?
He Danggui partly understood that the person speaking now was the spirit of Zhu Quan from the previous life. However, Qi Xuanyu in the Dream told her that the spirit fragments of the Zhu Quan in the previous life had all fused with the Zhu Quan in this life, and those fragments could not influence the Zhu Quan in this life. Therefore, the Zhu Quan in the previous life had lost his independent consciousness and the memory. And the Zhu Quan in this life did not love her at all. But now, things were not like Qi Xuanyu’s description.
He Danggui was disgusted. How long would he keep bothering her? She gritted her teeth and replied, “You maniac! Leave me alone. I don’t want to see you again.”
“Zhu Quan” begged again, “Yiyi, look at me, please. I am a different man now. This time, I will marry you, only you! Come back to me.”
He Danggui avoided his eyes and frowned, “I am also a different woman. Now you should leave.”
“Zhu Quan” continued, “Impossible, you are you! Are you still mad at me? My time is running out. Could you calm down? We have a child now, so we can work this problem out. Yiyi, look at my eyes.”
He Danggui frowned and glanced at his eyes. The eyes were like... She turned her face away and said coldly, “If you don’t let my hands go, I swear I will kick your ass.”
“Zhu Quan” shed a lot of tears and let out a whimper, which immediately frightened the two men behind him. The cold-faced Lord Ning confessed to a woman? He was even crying like a child after being rejected?
“Yiyi. I really don’t have much time, and I won’t be able to see you again in the future,” Zhu Quan’s lips trembled, “For the sake of the old love, can’t you give me another chance?”
“Sorry. I don’t know you at all, and I can’t help you.” He Danggui tried hard to withdraw her hands.
Chang Nuo thought that it was because she saw the real face under Zhu Quan’s mask for the first time, so he stepped forward to introduce, “Qingyi, this is Lord Ning, and also Ning Yuan three years ago. He brought the bride-price here to propose marriage for you.”
Every time Chang Nuo went to Daning Prefecture to see Zhu Quan, Zhu Quan was more or less influenced by the Zhu Quan in the previous life. Therefore, Chang Nuo had always thought that Zhu Quan was obsessed with He Danggui. However, when they were in the ancestral hall earlier today, Zhu Quan humiliated He Danggui, which confused Chang Nuo very much. What was wrong with Zhu Quan? And why did he treat his “fairy” in such an attitude? In fact, those spirit fragments had melted down at that time. The Zhu Quan in this life had regained his body. Therefore, he hated He Danggui at first sight of her.
Both He Danggui and Zhu Quan ignored Chang Nuo’s introduction, and their stalemate continued.
“Zhu Quan” begged, “One chance. Only one chance. Please try to like me again. I promise I will treat you well this time.”
He Danggui mocked him, “You are running out of time. How could you guarantee that?”
After a pause, “Zhu Quan” answered, “He will treat you well. He is me. Yiyi, I know you like me, and I also know that you are the kindest person. Give me one more chance, please. Let’s be together again, okay?” He thought, “I chased you here. I am begging you. I am not Lord Ning anymore, and I just want you.”
“No.” He Danggui finally withdrew her hands. She stepped back and said, “I don’t want to see you anymore.”
“Zhu Quan” entreated, “I am going to vanish. Are these your last words for me? You said you liked me, and you even peeked at me when I was asleep. Are they all my illusions?”
“You are really insane.” She had heard these words in the Dream, but Zhu Quan said these words again in reality. He Danggui felt breathless because of anger, and she said coldly, “Nonsense. When did those happen? Dead is dead. You don’t belong to this place. Just go.”
“Zhu Quan’s eyes” were full of sorrow. He repeated his words, “I am vanishing. Yiyi, why are you so cruel?”
He Danggui took out the jade pendant with Azure Dragon and handed it over without looking at him, “This is yours. I tore your painting off. Check it. If you have time, send a carriage to take your night pearl and blood-red coral away.”
