Chapter 169 Who said that I was wasting resources?
"I have always thought that Pei Mochen was the obstacle between the two of us, but I didn't expect that the biggest rival in love is Di Xiuyan."
He saved her, jumped off the cliff with her, and gave her his most beloved guqin.
It is said that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own life, so how come Di Xiuyan got there first?
"Yan Yan, what do you want me to do with you? Just snatch you away from me?" Pei Yuxiao gently lifted Mu Wanyan's chin with his fingers, and put his lips close to her, wanting to kiss her.
She turned her head away and looked at him in disbelief: "Pei Yuxiao, are you crazy? I am Mu Wanyan, not your Lin Xue or Mo Wanyan."
Pei Yuxiao smiled bitterly, "Do you really believe in the existence of Mo Wanyan?"
Mu Wanyan shook off his hand and resisted: "Don't touch me, I am Di Xiuyan's woman."
Pei Yuxiao: "Very good, you know how to use the Regent to put pressure on me."
He looked at her quietly like a sculpture, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to penetrate her soul.
Time seemed to stand still, it was eerily quiet.
Suddenly, something wet dripped onto Mu Wanyan's cheek.
Mu Wanyan raised her eyes in horror, "Pei Yuxiao, you——"
Is he...crying?
Pei Yuxiao wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, realizing that he had lost his composure.
His voice was a little hoarse: "This prince likes you, and it started from the day I bullied you."
He had always included Mu Wanyan in his future blueprint——
Step 1: Marry Lin Xue and gain the power of the Lin family; Step 2: Make Fengnu the queen and gain Fengnu's luck; Step 3: Ascend the throne, kill Concubine Xiao, and place Pei Lingsong and Pei Mochen under house arrest;
Step 4: Seize Mu Wanyan and make her your concubine. Then... want her, want her, want her every day.
Mu Wanyan: “…”
"Your Highness, please stop scaring me. Let me go first, okay?"
Feeling her struggle, Pei Yuxiao tightened his grip on her arm.
He said in an extremely sad tone: "Don't move. Don't worry, I will never touch Di Xiuyan's woman."
If the person he saw dating Mu Wanyan tonight was anyone else, Pei Yuxiao knew very well that with his crazy personality and narrow-mindedness, Mu Wanyan would probably have been tied to the couch and bullied by him by now.
But that was Di Xiuyan, the only man he respected in Dafeng Kingdom.
He is a hero of their country, who has fought on the battlefields for many years, defending the people, and is the regent who has protected piece of territory after piece for their Pei family.
"I will not snatch the woman that the Regent likes."
(I can’t rob him, I can’t beat him, and I’m worried that the Xuanwu Army will mutiny.)
He stared at Mu Wanyan for a long time, then suddenly pushed her far away and returned to his usual cynical look.
He laughed and said, "Look how scared you are. Do you think I would like a little girl from a small country like you? I want to marry the daughter of the prime minister. You are not within my consideration."
"Hiss, it hurts—" Mu Wanyan rubbed the arm that was hit, "Can't you be gentler?"
While tidying up her clothes, she looked at him with some fear. "Pei... Pei Yuxiao, did you... did you drink alcohol today? Can you... can you please not make such jokes in the future?"
Pei Yuxiao turned his back to wipe his tears, then turned around and answered nonchalantly, "Nothing can escape Xiao Yanyan's eyes."
He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, I have always respected Brother Xiu Yan. I will never tell my idiot third brother about the two of you having an affair."
Mu Wanyan: "...Many things are not what you see. I am not a prostitute. Besides, even if you tell Pei Mochen, he won't have any emotions."
Pei Mochen had already sent Mu Wanyan to Di Xiuyan's bed on their wedding night. Therefore, Di Xiuyan was his real husband.
"But thank you anyway. Before Xiu Yan returns from Beimo, I don't want anything to affect him on the battlefield."
It seemed like a thank you, but it was also a threat to Pei Yuxiao. After all, Di Xiuyan was going to help their Pei family fight the war.
She believed that all things would be revealed after Di Xiuyan returned from Beimo. If she could successfully secure the position of Phoenix Girl, perhaps time would be faster.
-
After Mu Wanyan left, Pei Yuxiao walked alone and silently to the peach tree where Di Xiuyan had just had a date with Mu Wanyan.
Feeling the remaining warmth from the tree, I hugged the peach tree tightly and tears fell like rain.
"Idiot, I don't smell of alcohol at all. Just because I said I was drunk, did you really believe it?"
-
It was not until midnight that Pei Yuxiao returned to his bedroom with heavy steps, heart full of sadness.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The scene of Di Mu and the other person kissing passionately always lingered in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed in his heart, "Di Xiuyan is incompetent. He is simply wasting a gift from heaven. He can't bear to kiss such a beautiful woman too hard. What's the point of being so gentle?"
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said to himself: "If I were allowed to come..."
I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.
He cursed again: "Brother Xiu Yan only knows how to practice martial arts, and doesn't even know how to make a woman happy. He has learned all those palace erotic theory classes in vain."
He sighed deeply, "It's a pity that Yanyan followed him."
(Note: Di Xiuyan and Pei Yuxiao are two of the most outstanding young people in Dafeng Country. Their theoretical knowledge in that area comes from the same master.)
Di Xiuyan was in the Regent's Palace, and his ears felt like they were burning as if someone was scolding him.
If he could hear clearly what Pei Yuxiao was saying at this moment, he would definitely retort:
"Who said that I am a wasteful person? What good boy wouldn't be more restrained when dating outdoors?"
"This king and Yanyan were in the dark night. She was crying like a pear blossom in the rain under this king. Could this king let you see it?"
-
The scene returns to the Prince's Eastern Palace.
Pei Yuxiao is as melancholy when he is awake as he is crazy in his dreams.
