Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 180: Trust Me

Jing Wan was unwilling to give up, still wanting to continue reaching out to hold it. However, this time, the little guy directly squeezed with all its might into the bodyguard’s bosom, just like as if Jing Wan was a demon king, and the person holding it was practically just like its savior, even disregarding its leg injury. Seeing the injury on its leg clearly about to open again, Jing Wan hurriedly withdrew her hands, even retreating two steps. Afterwards, that little thing that was looking at her stopped its struggling. That pitiful little look, in Jing Wan’s eyes, was like as if rejoicing.

Jing Wan was heartbroken. Was she just this dislikable? But, clearly it was perfectly fine before, that why’s it definitely wasn’t her fault. Thus, that ‘carrying a bit of accusation’ look landed on the bodyguard. ——-It’s all your fault!

This time, the gaze that was targeting the little guy landed on An Yi. An Yi endlessly complained in his heart, his body rigidly tense——-Miss Luo, great aunt, the main culprit is behind you, don’t look at me. If you keep looking, master will definitely have me chopped up. An Yi wished that he could turn around and run away, but he didn’t dare, and could only lower his brow and retract his gaze, motionlessly frozen there.

Fortunately, Jing Wan just stared for a little while before retracting her gaze. She somewhat reluctantly glanced at the little guy, though she wasn’t stubborn, turning her head and letting Bai Shao treat the little guy’s injury.

Li Hong Yuan reached out and rubbed Jing Wan’s face, “It’s that little beast that doesn’t know what’s good for it.”

Jing Wan avoided his hand, inwardly rolling her eyes at him. With this many people present, even if you’re a wangye, still need to abide by etiquette a little. Her grandfather was still watching from the side, and moreover, this kind of thing, once leaked out, the reputation to suffer damage will forever just be the female side’s, even if this matter right now absolutely won’t be known to outsiders.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t overstep either, retracting his hand, “If you like, I’ll let someone bring you some from other places. For cats and dogs, any breed is all doable, and if you want other kinds, that’s also not a problem. I remember in the northern snow mountains, there seems to be a kind of fragrant snow fox, its whole body snow white, possessing a rare fragrance. And if you want to raise something a bit more fierce, tigers, leopards………..”

“Wangye……….” Jing Wan interrupted his words, “It was just an opportune chance that made me come across this little guy, that’s all. Once its injury recovers, naturally need to release it back into the mountains. In fact, we will just treat its wound, and won’t take it away with us.” Raising tigers and leopards? It’s not like she was a beast tamer. These ‘high-end’ pets, one can’t afford to play with.

Li Hong Yuan understood Jing Wan’s meaning. Even if she liked, she still wouldn’t want to forcibly change someone else’s fate, even if just an animal. This kind of heart was actually somewhat incompatible with a great majority of people at present. Never mind those high ranking officials and noble clans, even the ordinary commoners all knew, if you have power and influence, then you are just above others, and you can just easily control someone else’s fate. This was something that can’t be more expected by all rights. In his past life, Li Hong Yuan also knew that she won’t easily harm another life, just at that time, he just felt her heart was exceptionally merciful. However, after beginning to suspect Jing Wan’s origins, he became increasingly curious as to what her life was like initially.

However, this bit, he rather wasn’t in a rush to know. There will be a day, where he will let Jing Wan tell him of her own accord.

As for these little bastards, since Wan Wan liked, then he naturally needed to satisfy her. When time comes, just have them all sent to her. After all, would she be able to ruthlessly throw them away then? However, prior to sending them, definitely need to have them trained well. Raising them before her, letting her tease and play with was fine, but if they dare pounce on her, heh, they’ll inevitably suffer.

This eventually led to Jing Wan raising a huge pile of pets in the future, yet in the end, she at most could only pet them. Anyone could hold them, but only she alone couldn’t. Jing Wan’s mood, how was it enough to just be described as ‘sullen’. Besides, those little guys clearly quite liked her, and when seeing her, they would come to her side, rubbing against her feet, but once she reached for them, that speed in escaping was just like as if Jing Wan wanted to take their lives.

Of course, these were all later matters, and for the time being, don’t need to be mentioned.

“As long as you’re happy.” Li Hong Yuan said.

Jing Wan lifted her head and quietly stared at him. Saying it that indulgently, and being this considerate and attentive, Jing Wan suddenly wanted to know, where was his bottom line towards her. Even if she was considered as a substitute, this phrase seemingly wasn’t right. He should’ve just shifted his feelings onto her, and under the circumstances of her not having to put in real feelings towards him, why not just enjoy it. Because from beginning to end, she firmly believed that feelings all need to go both ways, then aside from romantic love, she can have him treated as her close family. However good he is towards her, she too can be that good towards him. Although because there was the etiquette between man and woman, she right now can’t do too much for him, else she’ll incur gossip and slander, but this didn’t prevent her from remembering in her heart, and waiting until after their wedding. And because she won’t invest romantic love, she won’t produce the desire to monopolize him. That way, she won’t care about how many women he has. Just like his words just now, as long as he’s happy. And she herself also won’t be heartbroken and depressed.

Jing Wan’s two eyes lit up, feeling this idea of hers really was too perfect, and she also won’t need to ponder over the aim every time he does something. Regardless of what he does, and what he gives, she just need to accept, all the way until the day he stops.

“Wangye, how about coming together with us, I feel this place is quite fun.” Saying this, she didn’t wait for Li hong Yuan to react either, just jumping down from where she came up from just now. As she walked, she even turned back saying, “Bai Shao, after treating the little guy’s injury, whether it’s to take back to recuperate, or releasing, you decide yourself.” Immediately after, she even smilingly beckoned at Li Hong Yuan.

At twenty-two years of age, in her past life, many were all still studying in college, precisely the time when one loved to play. Although the people at present generally matured early, including the things Jin Qinwang sometimes did, seemingly appearing somewhat willful, even a bit troublesome, but one still can’t deny the reality that he was a mature man. That’s why, occasionally playing around was also fine.

Li Hong Yuan naturally sensed that Jing Wan’s attitude towards him distinctly warmed up by a lot, no longer that distanced and restrained, abiding by etiquette. If not for the change happening a bit too quick, he would’ve all suspected whether or not he’s managed to ‘persist till the clouds parted, seeing the clear moon’. Then looking again to Jing Wan’s gaze towards him, it’s not like he’s never seen women being infatuated towards him before, but that was completely different from Wan Wan’s look right now. Right now, he still lacked that tacit understanding with Wan Wan, and didn’t know what she was thinking, but for her to be willing to be close with him, it can probably be considered a huge improvement.

Thus, he didn’t hesitate, directly following after. Aside from An Yi, the other bodyguards all followed after too.

However, because Bai Shao just happened to be standing close, a wave of female fragrant penetrated into his nose, causing An Yi, this grown man, who because his identity was special, didn’t dare casually look for women, to feel somewhat strange all over his body. He rather wanted to directly have this leopard cat handed over to the other party and quickly leave, but with just a line of ‘hold it properly’ from Bai Shao, An Yi could only continue rigidly standing there. And those departing brothers, not only weren’t loyal, they even ambiguously smiled at him as they were leaving. For people like them, prior to being unable to continue serving master anymore, they were destined to not marry and have children. Even going to the brothel to look for women was all forbidden. To want to marry and have children, there was only one kind of circumstance, when one was no longer fit to be a bodyguard or shadow guard————-either having suffered injuries, or just as one’s age increased, no longer having that ability and competence. For the most part, it was all the former. And when one really encounters that kind of situation, nine out of ten all were unwilling to take a wife. Because the body was severely damaged, it meant that their life won’t be long. As such, why the need to bring disaster to those good family girls.

But, if wangfei is seeking a husband for her own personal servant girl, the people she takes a fancy to, would master not agree?

It’s not that this way of thinking didn’t exist, using this kind of method to break away from their current post, but in reality, it was mostly still because this bunch were the same as their master, a bunch of old virgins that have never eaten before. Suddenly having the opportunity to interact with a beautiful girl, the person involved perhaps was ‘bashful’, but for the other brothers, it was inevitable for them to be ‘dirty’ inside.

Speaking of which, were the people by Li Hong Yuan’s side all like this? Naturally no. For some special missions, they naturally needed special methods. As such, there naturally existed special experts in various aspects, for instance romance experts and whatnot were just too common.

An Yi, because his body was stiff, had the little guy tightly clutched. The sound of the cries were somewhat miserable. Bai Shao frowned, reaching out to pat An Yi once, “What are you holding that tightly for, let go a little.”

Afterwards, as soon as An Yi loosened a little, he just got scratched by the little guy. Never mind his clothes directly ripping, he even felt the stinging pain. It was obvious, his arm also suffered. Unsurprisingly, Bai Shao lifted her head and glanced at him. Clearly just a very dull glance, yet An Yi kept feeling her left eye said ‘use-‘, and her right eye said ‘-less’. He genuinely felt he lost a lot of face.

For the people that have already walked far, they naturally disregarded the ‘undercurrents of emotions’ between these two. Under Jing Wan’s lead, they continued their great expedition. Of course, Jing Wan also didn’t forget to turn back to tell her grandfather to be careful.

Li Hong Yuan finally spared Sir Luo a glance, his eyes like an ancient well with no ripples. In contrast, Sir Luo was indeed brimming with anger, especially because Li Hong Yuan once said, he won’t let his dear granddaughter lose her purity, and at most would just hug and kiss. Heavens, was hugging and kissing still not enough? How many people, prior to marrying, never even met once? That’s why, even though quite a few people looked forward to having their daughter, or granddaughter, married into the imperial family, Sir Luo wasn’t willing in the slightest. The most important point was that this kind of son-in-law, or grandson-in-law, one had no way of beating up.

Li Hong Yuan watched Jing Wan scuttle around everywhere like a small child, but didn’t say a single word, very effortlessly following behind her. And when she wanted to pick something or get something that she was unable to reach, he would just step forward to help out.

Thus, Li Hong Yuan completely took over Bai Shao and Hei Mei’s job, listening to whatever Jing Wan said.

“Wangye, look, is that a tea tree up there?” Jing Wan said pulling his arm.

Li Hong Yuan looked up along her line of sight. It was indeed a wild tea tree, not very big, but appears to be very dense and verdant. “Go fetch a basket over.”

Previously, it was still okay, but this time, Jing Wan was instead startled by his same as usual tone of voice. That was halfway up the mountain on the side of a steep cliff, “Wangye, it’s too dangerous. This subject was just a little astonished from suddenly seeing it, and didn’t say one wanted to pick.”

“Aren’t there vines on the side, it’s quite easy to go up, it’s fine.”

“It’s still better to not go, really too dangerous.” Jing Wan disapprovingly shook her head.

Li Hong Yuan looked to her, “Trust me.”

Jing Wan opened her mouth, yet was unable to say anything. She kept feeling these words of his weren’t just referring to this current matter.

The basket was very quickly brought over, “Master, how about letting this subordinate go?” As a bodyguard, he naturally wasn’t willing to see him endanger himself either.

Li Hong Yuan turned his head, faintly casting him a glance, “When you know how to pick tea leaves, then come say these words.”

The bodyguards felt ashamed. Looks like their skills were still far from enough. To want to curry favor with the wangfei, and in turn, win master’s favor, they needed a full set of skills. Whatever, they’ll just have to go all out, and go back and properly study. However, master, you know how to pick tea leaves?
