Love Across Time

Chapter 41

He handled things so much better than she had, so she decided to reward him, pulling his neck down to kiss him, and provocatively slipping her tongue into his mouth…

“Actually…” Her kiss moved to his ear. “You should be glad I tried to kill myself, otherwise I wouldn’t be who I am today. I know you love me this way, don’t you?”

Shi Wuji was unaware of the deeper meaning behind her words, his mind completely captivated by her beautiful body... successfully keeping him lingering in the room, unwilling to leave...

Did I hurt you?

After a long while, Shi Wuji finally realized what was happening and asked, leaning to the side and resting his elbow on his hand to look at her.

Huan'er's satisfied and beautiful expression, like that of a well-fed kitten, was displayed openly in his eyes, accompanied by a charming laugh.

"I'm not that delicate!" Seeing him lose his self-control for her was one of her proudest achievements. She loved seducing him, she loved it very much.

Shi Wuji pulled her into his arms and said in a deep voice:

"Huan'er, Su Guangping is my enemy. I will not let him go. I'm telling you beforehand that this matter is not to be changed."

"I'm powerless to change anything, and this is none of my business." The murderer of the entire family is still at large; how could the Shi family let this go? In fact, none of this concerns her, and she cannot try to intervene and change anything, but she hates bloodshed.

This doesn't align with Huan'er's personality! The suspicious point is that Huan'er didn't plead for her biological father. Even if her parents were terrible, Huan'er's kind nature wouldn't allow her to stand idly by. This doesn't make sense! Why is she standing aside? The longer we spend time together, the more doubts arise!

Huan'er, oh Huan'er! What kind of person are you?

"Is there... anything you want to tell me?" Shi Wuji asked.

Huan'er smiled faintly.

"If you like me as I am now, why ask any more questions? If I said this body isn't mine, would you believe me? You love this body, and you love my personality. Saying too many absurd things will only become nonsense and mislead the public. Wuji, I can't explain it clearly, I can only say that my failed suicide attempt allowed me to be reborn."

Shi Wuji pondered for a while, then smiled with relief. Time would bring the answers to things that were unclear, so there was no need to rush. He sat up and prepared to get dressed.

“It’s really time to go out. I’ll ask Leng Gang to order some tonics and have the kitchen prepare them for you to help you recover. I’ll also have Wuxia come and keep you company.”

It was getting dark; it was time for dinner.

Huan'er reluctantly helped him get dressed and tidied her own clothes.

"Go back to your room early, I'll wait for you."

Shi Wuji nodded, kissed her, and left.

Chapter Eight

The next morning, Huan'er dragged her husband to the Plum Blossom Courtyard to play chess with Wuxia. She won against Wuxia but lost to Leng Gang. Later, Wujie and Wuhen also arrived, and they took turns playing. Huan'er's cheerful mood infected everyone, and they all focused on the game, even dining together at the stone table under the plum grove. Her happiness was not without reason; Wuji was going to spend the whole day with her. She planned to explore every inch of Aolong Fortress, though embarrassingly, she sometimes got lost.

I thought I'd have a day of leisure, but little did I know that business would begin right after breakfast! Wang Haowen, one of the stewards responsible for reception, came over and said:

"Master Su and Young Master Ke have come to visit! They are currently seated at Juxian Tower."
