Doppel-Box-Schallplatte - Kapitel 222
"Two years ago," Mu Wenchen said calmly. Ever since he and Rufeng parted ways at Fengxian Academy, he had been personally preparing this, all for tomorrow. Thinking of the expression on Feng'er's face when she saw the gift he had given her, Mu Wenchen couldn't help but smile faintly. He began to wonder if he should go see Feng'er that evening; he missed her so much.
Mu Tong was completely stunned. He stared at Mu Wenchen with his mouth agape, his face full of admiration. He said, "Master, you are truly amazing." He had already started preparing the betrothal gifts back then. Could it be that he was certain that Ru Feng would marry him? You know, Miss Ru Feng has many suitors.
"So you only need to prepare a few things, I'll take care of the expensive ones myself," Mu Wenchen said calmly, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Just prepare these." He had learned this from reading many books, and Mu Wenchen hoped to make the wedding as perfect as possible.
Ignoring the almost petrified Mu Tong, Mu Wenchen went directly to the emperor's bedroom after getting off the carriage.
"What brings you here? I remember you never liked coming here." The emperor looked at Wen Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, looking at Mu Wen Chen with indifference, but still dismissing everyone around him.
Mu Wenchen casually found a place to sit down, looked at the emperor, and said earnestly, "Brother, I'm getting married."
"Marry a wife?" The emperor's indifference vanished; he glared angrily at Mu Wenchen and roared, "I will absolutely not allow it!"
"You're my brother. I'm just informing you. Nobody needs your permission." Mu Wenchen glanced at him coldly, without any emotion.
Influenced by Mu Wenchen's cold gaze, the emperor quickly calmed down. He sat opposite Mu Wenchen, staring intently at him, and tentatively asked, "I am the emperor. If I don't allow you to marry, then you cannot marry. Don't forget, I am not only your brother, but also the emperor of this country." He regained his dignified demeanor and glanced sideways at Mu Wenchen.
“I know you are the emperor, but my marriage to Rufeng doesn’t affect you. Haven’t you always wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Yuchi family?” Mu Wenchen looked sharply at the emperor.
"Even so, I still hope that my two sons will marry her, not you." The emperor said clearly. He knew beforehand that he would not marry any woman other than Yuchi Rufeng, so he let the other two women make a fuss and wanted to take the opportunity to discourage others from thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, while he and other ministers were discussing the matter of the crown prince, just as the banquet was about to end, Yu Chi Ru Feng suddenly appeared, disrupting his plans.
"I only want to marry Rufeng." Mu Wenchen repeated, his bright, star-like black eyes fixed firmly on the emperor, refusing to back down.
"I disagree," the emperor insisted.
After a long while, the two remained silent, and the fragrance of incense from the censer rose gently throughout the palace, soothing their emotions.
"What was your deal with Xuanyuan Tianze?" Finally, Mu Wenchen broke the silence. "As the price for handing Rufeng over to Xuanyuan Tianze!"
"What do you mean by this?" The emperor seemed startled, but his face remained calm.
"You know, brother," Mu Wenchen said quietly. Didn't everyone already know the truth?
"I don't understand," the emperor murmured, puzzled as to why Wen Chen knew his intentions.
"Brother, I understand you a little now. You're family, I won't do anything to you." Mu Wenchen thought of the past, his heart softened, and he said softly, "Don't you want to know the exact news about her?"
Mu Wenchen stood up, slapped his hand away, and said softly, "Brother, this is a deal. I know you can't find her now, and Rufeng is back, so I don't care about the past. But I hope Rufeng and I can get married smoothly." He stated his request. When he mentioned going to Rufeng's house to propose earlier, the worry in Rufeng's eyes was obvious, and he didn't want her to suffer. He wanted her to marry him openly and honestly, in front of the world.
"Brother, I'm telling the truth," Mu Wenchen emphasized again, staring intently at the emperor.
The emperor lost his composure and stared blankly at Mu Wenchen.
In the evening, after finally escaping her family's endless questions, Ru Feng finally had some private time.
Sitting in the large bathtub, Ru Feng smiled gently, recalling her conversation with Ru Xue earlier. In fact, after learning that Mu Wenchen was about to propose to her, Ru Xue's attitude had improved considerably. Although they hadn't returned to the close relationship they once had as siblings, Ru Feng was content. After all, there would be plenty of time to get to know each other better later.
Ah—Ru Feng suddenly remembered something. She was now the younger sister, so if her older sister wasn't married yet, could she get married too? Ru Feng covered her mouth, hoping there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.
However, after thinking about it, she realized that it was just an engagement and wouldn't cause any problems.
After relaxing, Ru Feng felt more at ease. She put a hot towel on her face, closed her eyes comfortably, and was completely unaware that a dark figure had quietly pushed the door open and entered.
It wasn't until a pair of large hands broke through the water that Ru Feng woke up. He ripped the towel off his face and his second move was to capture Fu Ren.
"It's me!" A familiar voice came from beside me.
"How come it's you?" Ru Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the door and window, and said dejectedly, "How did you get in?"
Mu Wenchen pinched Ru Feng's cheek and said unhappily, "How could this door possibly be difficult for me? But you, why aren't you careful when you take a bath?"
Ru Feng could only chuckle and say, "Is it because Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou are outside? That's why I'm at ease." Besides, his martial arts skills were clearly much higher than his own, so it would be relatively easy for him to keep it from him.
"Them?" Mu Wenchen frowned and said, "They're men, and I'm still not entirely at ease." Although he had personally trained them and they would undoubtedly be loyal, they were, after all, men. Thinking of this, Mu Wenchen couldn't help but lament why he didn't have any female subordinates.
"Alright, stop thinking about it, let's not worry about it." Ru Feng interrupted his thoughts. Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou had helped him a lot, so he really didn't want anything to happen to them. So he had no choice but to ask, "What are you doing here? It's already so late."
Epilogue of Chapter 166
Upon hearing this, Mu Wenchen's eyes lit up. Looking at the water surface covered with flower petals, he said happily, "I missed you, so I decided to come and steal your fragrance."
Ru Feng looked at him silently, while Mu Wenchen took action and began to take off his clothes.
"Do you want me to work myself to death?" Ru Feng looked at Mu Wenchen, pouting, looking very dissatisfied, but her eyes were wide open, scrutinizing Mu Wenchen's figure.
Broad shoulders, strong chest muscles, lean waist, flat stomach, fair skin... Because he was wearing white underwear, his lower body was not visible, which made Ru Feng very dissatisfied. He leaned over the edge of the bathtub and said, "Your skin is too white. It doesn't seem very manly. I admire men with a bronze complexion the most. That's so handsome! It looks very healthy and energetic..." Ru Feng squinted his eyes, looking intoxicated.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wenchen was also displeased. He lifted Rufeng's head and said, "Feng'er, are you thinking about another man in front of me? My skin may be fair now, but I can get tanned." His tone was sour. He thought of Yuxuan, and it seemed that the boy had the skin tone that Rufeng wanted. Could it be that Rufeng really liked Yuxuan's skin tone? Then where was he?
"Hehe, I was just saying." Ru Feng chuckled dryly and said, "Actually, I still like you the most, no matter what you look like." Then she looked at him sincerely. If she was attracted by Wen Chen's appearance at first, it was definitely not now.
"That's good." Mu Wenchen didn't intend to be aggressive, so he quickly stretched out his hands, his target—Ru Feng's bathtub.
"Ah—what do you want to do?" Ru Feng whispered, grabbing his hand. Now Ru Feng's fragrant shoulder and a fair arm were exposed, and her face, which was already flushed from the heat, turned even redder, while her big eyes darted around.
"I just missed you," Mu Wenchen said honestly, his eyes fixed on Ru Feng's exposed skin.
"You want to..." Ru Feng beckoned with his finger and pointed with his eyes, saying ambiguously, "You want to do what we did this afternoon?" You could tell just by looking at his eyes; they were almost turning blue.
"Mmm." Mu Wenchen nodded, and without saying a word, he used the same trick again, pulling out the scarf he had used that afternoon from his clothes and looking at Rufeng shyly, "Would you like to cover yourself up?"
Ru Feng was speechless. She stared straight at Mu Wenchen, her voice a little low: "Are you planning to do this every time we get intimate from now on?"
