Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 261.2: Hunter and Prey

Jing Wan slightly blanked, and immediately after, thought of a possibility. A person, during the same period of time every year, becoming mentally abnormal must mean that this period of time is exceptionally special. And since it was also related this man before her, then seemingly, aside from his birth mother, there weren’t any other possibilities. However, this wasn’t the point she cared about, “Ah Yuan’s birthday is almost here?”

However, Le Cheng Emperor, that man, was also too much. Clearly it was him that singlehandedly created this kind of situation. How many years has it been already, yet still a look of ‘deep feelings without regret’. In Jing Wan’s eyes, it was nothing more than just putting on an act, just having a spasm and going crazy these few days. Didn’t see him sleep with any less women, and give birth to any less children either. At the time, when Imperial Noble Consort was still alive, shouting with his mouth how much he liked her and how deeply he loved her, yet it was nothing more than every month sleeping with a few more night, what the hell did that count as?

The one feeling guilty, thus wanting to compensate his son was him, venting his anger out on his son and ignoring was also him. There truly isn’t anyone more disgusting than this.

On the contrary, Li Hong Yuan was somewhat peculiar, quietly staring at her. A moment later, he suddenly smiled, “The day after tomorrow.” Quietly praising his wife’s sharp wit.

“The twentieth of the third month? It’ll be a good day.” The twenty-fifth of the third month was the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday. Just think back on last year’s grand celebration, and moreover, it’s said that it has never fallen behind year after year. And that was still just his Majesty’s younger sister. Yet, as his most beloved son, it was quiet without a sound. The other sons as well as daughter-in-laws, which one was ever told to be low-key, yet only for him, it was this soundless. Forget celebrating, afraid not that many people even remember. Jing Wan suddenly hugged him, “In the future, I’ll spend it with you.”

Li Hong Yuan softly chuckled. In reality, towards this matter, he’d only just cared about before in his childhood. Never mind now, even in his past life, after becoming the Emperor, his birthday becoming the longevity festival, he all never once cared. Returning to ten years old, and living through these years again, if not for Noble Consort Su preparing a table full of dishes for him every year, he probably would’ve thoroughly forgotten about it. However, in his eyes, Noble Consort Su was practically just meddlesome, regardless whether she was putting on an act for others to see, or being sincere.

However, his wife heartaching for him and taking pity on him, in comparison, he very much enjoyed inside.

Resting his chin on Jing Wan’s shoulder, his lips leaning close to her ears, “Then, Wan Wan better nicely prepare a birthday present for me.”

The warm breath brushed past her ears, somewhat ticklish. Jing Wan subconsciously tilted her head.

“What does Ah Yuan want? You seemingly don’t lack anything, and moreover, I’m not good with needlework, and also can’t cook either.”

“Those aren’t needed, just want…………you.”

Jing Wan couldn’t stop blushing. Even if she’d already married, Jing Wan was still unable to get use to his various teasing, wanting to hide.

“What, Wan Wan is unwilling?” Li Hong Yuan kissed her on her earlobe.

“I’m already yours to begin with, so no need to be considered as a birthday present.”

Although this was a fact, but in Li Hong Yuan’s ears, it was just like the most moving words of love. His body and mind were both very delighted. “This is said by Wan Wan yourself, mine, so naturally I can do whatever I want, right?”

Jing Wan finally noticed in hindsight saying ‘yours’ was practically just a kind of invitation. She somewhat angrily had him pushed away, “Enough you, don’t look for trouble in broad daylight.”

“As expected, a woman’s heart like a needle on the ocean floor. Wan Wan just changing face at a moment’s notice, quite heartless.”

Jing Wan sighed. In his man’s hands, she really was unable to gain the slightest advantage. “Our Jin Qinwang’s heart is truly the needle on the ocean floor, who can beat you?”

“Regardless of what it is, it’s all yours, including the body that contains it, also yours. Wan Wan, you are mine, and I’m also yours.” Li Hong Yuan shamelessly leaned closer again.

Speaking of which, why was this man able to be this clingy? Also, it’s very hot, can you move a little? “That woman just now, what’s the matter with her? Ah Yuan, your attitude seemingly was a bit strange.”

Knowing she was changing the subject, Li Hong Yuan also just went along with her words, “Didn’t Wan Wan not want me to casually kill people? Then can only have her kicked out, what’s so strange about it? Actually, it’s Wan Wan getting jealous on your own, right? It’s also okay if you admit it, I like seeing your jealous little look, definitely very enticing.” Want to lead the conversation astray? Still need to see whether or not he agrees.

When it comes to flirting, unless an inexperienced young man visiting the brothels for the first time, else men just occupy a natural born advantage. Even if Jing Wan’s face was gradually thickening, she still wasn’t Li Hong Yuan’s opponent.

“Don’t try to bluff your way out!”

“Exactly who wants to bluff their way out?” Li Hong Yuan rubbed against Jing Wan’s body, letting her not have the energy to think about other things.

In reality, Jing Wan sure enough wasn’t his opponent. Thinking it over, on that woman, there seemingly wasn’t anything special either.

Speaking of those three, having gotten ordered to be thrown out, they really did get thrown out, thrown out of the estate’s perimeter.

She originally wanted to carry out the same old tactic, something like, this humble one’s body is delicate, unable to bear the long and difficult trek, don’t know if one can prepare a horse carriage for her back to the capital. Unfortunately, having such a master, there will certainly be such subordinates. They’ve all had their faces trained into an absolute wood plank.

Just turning to leave, very cold and heartless.

The one master and two servants team of three ‘delicate’ girls truly had no other choice, and could only harden their heads and slowly walk in the direction of the capital. Perhaps they can encounter some ‘kind stranger’ heading back to the capital that can take them along with them.

Slowly advancing on foot, even appearing somewhat pitiful, but only coming closer would one discover that this simply wasn’t the case.

“Let someone carefully investigate Jin Qinwang again, I keep feeling there’s problems on him.”

“Yes, master.”

Despite getting treated very heartlessly, feeling resentment and unwillingness inside, she was further excited inside. One has to know, only by hunting this kind of prey would one have a sense of accomplishment. Little by little, like silkworms devouring away, thinking of that process, it was just incredibly wonderful. Those that can be obtained just by waving her hand, she was long bored of.

Just, believing oneself to be the hunter, yet unknowingly, one has long become the prey, even one where the other party already knows all the inside information of. Selfishly feeling it’s all well, thinking everything is all in one’s control, yet never once considering that one was actually being viewed as a dancing clown, and that hunter, coldly watching from the side.

Don’t know whether one should say their luck is good, or people like them were just destined to be the target of attention. A few young masters going out of the city on a hunting trip, after seeing them, just voluntarily proposed to help.

And among these people, there was one with the surname Cui, coming from Changping Marquis Manor.

(T/N: The same Changping Marquis Manor mentioned back in chapter 212.)

Compared with Li Hong Yuan’s ‘unmanly’ conduct, these people were just ‘too manly’.

However, for a woman that toyed with men in the palm of her hand, a skillful sweet smile just had the lot of them all captivated, losing their souls to her.

In many people’s eyes, Li Hong Yuan although liked beauties, he has never been muddled by beauty. Clearly showing that it was him playing with women, and not a single woman can influence him, passionate and heartless, nothing more than just having witnessed too much.

And those women that threw themselves at him always believed that they can become that most special one, the one that can make him turn back.

If carrying this kind of thought, one would only make the path of dried up bones under his feet become increasingly sturdy, that’s all.

In the afternoon, the people that were invited came in groups, arriving at the same time.

And Jing Wan finally learned that the people invited far surpassed her expectations. Or perhaps should say, the ones that ‘turned up uninvited’ were a bit many.

Not only the Luo family’s unmarried younger sisters, older brothers, sister-in-laws, and also a bunch of younger brothers, all getting shipped over, her few close friends also came. Yuan Qiao Qiao rather came alone, but Zhou Ying Shuang brought along her own husband.

Slightly having that bit of a headache, but their arrival, indeed made Jing Wan quite happy.

And naturally there was also someone that was unhappy.

Li Hong Yuan just felt his wife was a bit lonely, and although he was her husband, he can’t occupy all her feelings. She still had close family, and still had friends. He wished for her to be well, and wished for her to be happy, that’s why he was able to restrain his strong possessiveness.

(T/N: So much of their relationship is in the nuances, and lines like these really are the highlight.)

Just, when her time truly got taken up by others, he still couldn’t help but feel agitated, wanting to kill.

Li Hong Yuan was aware that he needed to find a bit of something to do to cool down. Thus, taking his people, passing through the estate, he entered the mountain forest from the other side of the estate. Since he can’t kill people, he’ll just have to find a bit of something to kill.

As for the people that were invited over, at first, they were still a bit reserved. After all, this place was the living Enma’s estate. In the past, no one for the most part visited before, just from the other estates, on higher ground, able to see the beautiful scenes here. They never once thought that they would be able to set foot in here one day. Just, the living Enma’s might was truly too strong.
