Da Li Temple - Chapter 58.2

Chapter 58.2

Exploit

“Lord ……” She saw Su Moyi’s expression ease a bit, sidled up against him, and, in the next moment, pulled on his hand under the wide sleeve.

??

Lord Su has long been a sweaty hand.

??

Sniffing hopefully, Lin Wanqing bit her lip and stretched out her index finger, gently scratching at his broad palm.

??

“That Second Young Master is arrogant. Today, if not for Lailuo, his secret guards will hurt me and brother Liang – eh – Liang Weiping ……” Lin Wanqing put her calves on Su Moyi’s leg and then pulled open her pants, revealing the red and swollen knees from the fall.

“Look at that, it’s all bruised.”

??

“He did this?” Su Moyi’s tone steeply chilled.

??

“En!” Lin Wanqing nodded her head, aggrieved, “They even used a knife.”

??

Su Moyi’s breathing became deeper at these words, and his face immovably sank another three points.

??

Lin Wanqing was afraid he would run and hurriedly turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist, arching towards his neck, saying, “You know me, I never want to owe favors. The current me can’t repay Lailuo with my limited ability, and I only have you, so I can only ask for your help.”

??

Not knowing which sentence touched Su Moyi, Lin Wanqing felt that his breath seemed hotter, and under the dim light, she could even see his undulating chest.

??

“You can only ask for my help?” He asked, lowering his eyes to look at her.

??

Lin Wanqing froze. Seeing a hint of delight in his eyes, she nodded in confusion.

??

Su Moyi looked at her flattering and pleasing manner and suddenly laughed. He last saw her like this when she drank ‘Confused Heart.’ Now, she dares to be more unrestrained in front of him.

??

Lin Wanqing saw him laugh and didn’t say anything. Thinking that he was consenting and worried he would back out, she shouted directly outside, “Lailuo, Lord Su has agreed; quickly come in and thank him.”

??

“……” Being preempted, Lord Su felt a sudden heart attack. But she already said it: if he is now backtracking, she will inevitably lose her temperament.

??

After all, the Heir Mansion is big, and to shelter anyone is just a matter of words; Su Moyi did not bother with her, nodded his head, and agreed.

??

The night finally came to silence; Su Moyi changed clothes, freshened up, and read as usual, leaning on the bed, waiting for Lin Wanqing to dry her hair. When she climbed onto the bed, it was almost past midnight.

??

Su Moyi rightfully leaned over and pressed her underneath.

??

“What are you doing, my Lord?” Lin Wanqing asked with a naive face as she placed her hand against his chest, where his sash was slightly scattered.

??

Su Moyi slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as he asked back, “What do you think? I’ve been busy since I came back from Hongzhou; how long has it been since we ……”

“But my period has come.” Lin Wanqing blinked her eyes, extraordinarily sincere.

??

Su Moyi then remembered, counting the days, it seemed like she was indeed in these days. Therefore, just now, her softening and flirting for Lailuo’s sake was without the intention of ‘using sex for personal gain.’

??

Su Moyi immediately felt his chest become even more clogged.

??

Lin Wanqing saw him defeated, secretly curved the corner of her mouth, got up, printed a kiss on his lips, and said: “Lord, have been working hard for days. You should rest well. Let’s sleep early.” After saying this, she switched off the light and turned her head to sleep, leaving him a ‘broken bridge after crossing’ on the back of her head.

??

Su Moyi: “……”

??

The next day was the palace family banquet; because of Lin Wanqing’s identity, Empress Dowager only invited a few of her most valued relatives in the royal family, the Empress, and the four noble concubines.

??

Su Moyi was still going to the court early in the morning, but before he left, he instructed Lin Wanqing to wait for him at the Heir Mansion earlier. When he returned from the Xuanzheng Hall to the Heir Mansion to pick her up, Lailuo was grooming her.

??

Today, she chose a yellow jacket with a moonlight-white robe. Her lipstick was a soft coral, bringing a dignified atmosphere with her white jade-like skin but not losing the charmingness.

??

Su Moyi froze as he watched.

??

“My Lord,” Lin Wanqing saw him from the mirror and called out softly.

??

Su Moyi pretended to avert his eyes, but his ears were secretly red as always.

??

“Let’s go.” He marched over, took her hands and warmed them, put a fox-fur cloak in his hand over her, and stuffed a hand stove with the right temperature into her arms.

The carriage stopped outside Xuan Wu Gate. Su Moyi held Lin Wanqing, led by a group of palace people, walking towards Lin De Hall.

??

In early winter, the night wind is cold. However, in front of the lofty hall lights, countless palace lamps reflect the blue waves of the Taiyi Pond like a starry night, making people feel like they are walking on a sea of stars.

??

Lin Wanqing suddenly had an unreal feeling and suddenly slowed down her steps.

??

“What’s wrong?” He stopped and asked her.

??

Lin Wanqing shook her head and laughed, “Nothing, my legs are weak.”

She covered her hand and buried her head to walk forward again.

??

“Wait,” Su Moyi called out to her, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze falling on her hair bun.

??

“What’s wrong?” Lin Wanqing couldn’t see it and could only touch it without knowing what to do, but Su Moyi pulled her halfway there.

??

“The beaded hairpin at the back is a bit loose,” Su Moy said, “I’ll fix it for you. Turn around.”

??

“Oh,” Lin Wanqing obediently turned her back and lowered her head.

??

Amidst a coolness, Lin Wanqing could feel Su Moyi moving closer, his burning breath caressing the back of her neck, making her itchy. She ducked forward. The next moment, two soft, warm lips gently landed on the back of her neck.

??

Lin Wanqing shuddered. “You!” She never expected the always proper Lord Su to kiss her in such a scenario, and her face immediately reddened, shy, and annoyed. Therefore, she could only cover the back of her neck with one hand while glancing at those palace maids.

??

Fortunately, the people in the palace, in the end, are well-trained. The royal relatives and guests generally avoided directly looking at the face; those who just followed did not dare to look up to see.

??

Still, she was too shy.

??

Lin Wanqing was momentarily speechless, looking at Su Moyi’s face, which was as red as hers, saying ‘you’ for a long time but not finishing the following words.

??

“Alright,” Su Moyi pulled down her hand covering her neck and said, “I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

Qingqing: Oooooooh, someone is bullying me! I hurt the skin on my knee! You see!

Lord Su: Heh! You’ve learned to complain.
