Da Li Temple - Chapter 63
Chapter 63
Sparks
The winter night is cold, spraying white mist between breaths. Lin Wanqing had returned to Da Li Temple while Ye Qing and Su Moyi were still in the Song Mansion, busy ‘looking for assassins.’
??
When Lin Wanqing did her work today, she removed her wedding clothes. Her night clothes were thin, but she did not feel cold because she was nervous. But now, when it was quiet, she realized her hands and feet were already frozen.
??
Time was already late, and Lin Wanqing did not change into regular clothes, only to find a thicker robe to cover her up.
??
Xiao Bai was bored all day in the yard. When it saw her back, it cheerfully wagged its tail and rubbed its head against her legs and stomach.
??
Lin Wanqing then remembered that it hadn’t eaten yet, so she fetched its small bowl. But when she looked at the scene, she froze.
??
Outside the wooden fence in the yard, somehow, there are more bones; they are all excellent cow bones with tendons. Generally, people would use it for stew and would rarely be willing to feed it to their dogs.
??
Of course, it was an exception for the royal dog raised by Lord Su, Si Yu.
So —
Si Yu uses ‘public food’ to please the ‘girl’?
??
When Xiao Bai saw that Lin Wanqing wanted to take the bowl but didn’t move, it seemed to have reacted, walked to the pile of cow bones, and tossed two piles of soil with its hind legs. The meaning was that it didn’t like this stuff.
??
“…… ” Lin Wanqing suddenly felt a bit distressed for Si Yu. She had to put away the cow bones that Si Yu had painstakingly accumulated and then wiped Xiao Bai’s feet at the doorway. After guiding it in, she fished two meat buns from the paper bag on the table and gave them to it.
Xiao Bai ate cheerfully. The charcoal pot was burning, and the room finally warmed up. Only then did Lin Wanqing bother to sit down and warm up her nearly frozen hands and feet.
??
“Bang!”
??
The door to the small courtyard was violently pushed open by whoever. The sound was so loud that it shook the candle flame on the couch.
??
Lin Wanqing froze and was about to look around when she heard a heavy knocking outside the door. That sound was not fast or slow, but every time it slammed down, it was a heavy blow that made one’s heartbeat stagnate. At this late hour, other than Su Moyi, no one else will come, right? While thinking, she gathered the robe on her body and shuffled her embroidered shoes to open the door.
??
“Lord?” Lin Wanqing looked behind him and asked, “Is the Song Mansion’s matter already done?”
??
Su Moyi’s face sank. He said nothing, entering the room in silence.
??
He wore a brocade purple dress today, which was a colorful dress, but it couldn’t cover his coldness.
??
Lin Wanqing suddenly remembered when she encountered him in the runaway scene. Could someone have stepped on this person?
??
After Su Moyi entered the room, he didn’t move or speak; he only looked at her with downcast eyes, and only after a long time did he reach out to untie the belt of his thick velvet cloak.
??
Lin Wanqing quickly and obediently took it, turned around, and hung it up for him.
??
“Where are you tonight?” The person behind him suddenly opened his mouth and asked headlessly.
??
The hand holding the cloak froze momentarily, and Lin Wanqing quickly reacted; Su Moyi was already suspicious of her. But this matter was for Da Li Temple, and the wedding was fake, so it would be fine if she admitted it. But the problem was that she promised Ye Qing; reneging on her promise was punishable by retribution.
??
Thinking about this, she turned to Su Moyi and smiled, quickly saying, “I’m in Da Li Temple. I didn’t go anywhere.”
??
Su Moyi’s face sank another three points. He didn’t say anything and sat sideways on the couch. Lin Wanqing saw the dark color of his eyes in the dim candlelight and the aggression he couldn’t hide.
??
This kind of Lord Su tightened her scalp, and she could only go to unlock his belt while changing the topic, “Is this case finished, Lord?”
??
A pair of hands only ringed up his waist, then was held by him.
??
Su Moyi is angry and annoyed, holding down Li Wanqing to keep her in a close position, looking down at her, and asking, “What about the earrings I sent you last month?”
??
“Earrings? What earrings?” Lin Wanqing didn’t understand. She knew that whenever Su Moyi returned late, he would always bring her something from the palace or the market. But now the questions came so abruptly: how did she know what earrings?
??
Su Moyi’s face was already so dark that it could drip ink.
??
She felt the big palm holding her hands tighten; the strength increased steeply and turned into a pinch.
??
Lin Wanqing, who was very familiar with Lord Su’s dog temper, finally sensed the danger. But before she could explain, she saw a carnelian patterned earring appear in front of her eyes.
??
“Guess this, where did I find it?” Su Moyi asked, his voice soft but tainted with a clear threat.
??
Lin Wanqing subconsciously touched the earrings she hadn’t been able to remove yet – her right hand grasped empty. “……” Finally, as if she was waking up from a dream, she gulped and said sheepishly, “This I …… I can explain –“
??
Su Moyi did not move, twisting the carnelian earring in his hand, looking at her without moving.
??
“I am going to Song Mansion today,” Lin Wanqing mumbled, secretly peeking at him. She is shorter than Su Moyi by almost a head; from her perspective, what comes into her eyes is just a curved jawline and two eyelashes that are as thick as butterfly wings. It looks soft and rigid but shows the man’s cold and solemn abnormality.
??
With her heart beating one point faster, Lin Wanqing put her head on Su Moyi’s chest, making a posture of admitting guilt. “But I’m not marrying anyone. I’m just dealing with official business.”
??
“You have performed a marriage ceremony with someone else.” A low, aggrieved male voice rang in her ears.
??
“That one doesn’t count!” Lin Wanqing said, “I was on duty.”
??
“But you did perform the ceremony with someone else.” Su Moyi was unforgiving.
??
“…… “Lin Wanqing couldn’t argue with him; she broke the pot and said, “Yes, I did perform the ceremony with someone else, but isn’t this for official business? You’re the Chief of Da Li Temple. You can separate public and private affairs, right?”
??
The burning charcoal pot exploded softly, and sparks lit the dim room.
??
Su Moyi was stunned and fell silent. He really should separate public and private matters. The sourness in his heart nowadays, if one were to scrutinize it, perhaps not much of it was related to her performing ceremony with someone else. That was not what he cared about.
??
Fire flowers bloomed like ten feet of smoke and misty fire. He had always been a sober person, but now he became confused, unable to understand the woman in front of him. He always felt that a layer of invisible and untouchable rivers separated them. He could never understand the waves under the river’s surface. Just like her heart that loaded with many things, cases, family’s hatred —
Everything suddenly ranked ahead of him. Therefore, today, when he saw her wearing a wedding dress and performing a ceremony with other people, his heart was not jealous anymore, but afraid of her one day becoming a firefly – becoming someone else’s wife. But, it was useless to say out loud; he would only push her away if he held her too tight. So he put away the gloom in his heart and raised his hand to stroke her back wordlessly.
??
Lin Wanqing seemed to notice something, coquettishly embraced him tighter, and softly said: ”When I perform the ceremony, I have meditated in my heart; this is official business; it’s not real. I will marry Su Moyi, who has the stinkiest face in Sheng City. In the end, I also added; the heaven and earth will prove it.”
??
Only then did Su Moyi’s face blossom into a smile. In the next moment, Lin Wanqing attached two pieces of warm and soft lips to his face. She stood on her tiptoes and gently sucked his lips.
??
“This compensation for you,” she said, “Is it enough?”
??
Su Moyi did not return to his senses for a moment. The delicate person’s face in his arms blushed, highlighting that glistening and translucent pale skin. Her two pieces of soft pink lips gasped slightly, murmuring.
??
When thoughts are disturbed, he can no longer listen to her; he only wants to let those two cherry lips rest for a while. He then leaned down and kissed her.
??
The croaking in the ears finally stopped, but Su Moyi did not. He bulldozed over, with one hand holding her waist and the other holding the back of her head, pressing the person into his arms with all his strength.
??
Her lips were the only warm and soft in the world; once he touched them, it was like a long drought encountered nectar. He was always unable to control himself and indulged in it, unwilling to let go.
??
“Hmmm ……” His kisses came so suddenly that she almost couldn’t stand up. She staggered back two steps, her outer robe falling to the ground. Her waist hit the table behind her, making two ear-piercing scraping sounds.
??
Su Moyi then grabbed her waist and lifted it smoothly, making her sit up.
??
“This is considered compensation?” He asked, his eyes doting and focused on the candle flame.
??
Lin Wanqing was momentarily lost in thought as she looked at him. However, before she could answer, a large, warm palm traveled to her waist and back, probing into her middle clothes and flowing around her waist and hips.
??
“Your period is gone?” Su Moyi asked with dots of fire in his eyes, burning as if he wanted to set her on fire.
??
Lin Wanqing’s heartbeat stalled. The evidence is conclusive; if she lies at this moment–
??
Therefore, she felt that there was nothing to be reserved again and climbed onto Su Moyi’s shoulder, nodded, and said, “Let’s go to bed –“
??
Before her voice fell, Su Moyi sealed her lips again.
??
“Right here,” he said while undoing the ties of her middle clothes, revealing a portion of her white shoulders, “I don’t want to wait.”
??
When he finished, he kissed the side of her neck.
??
“But, but ……,” Lin Wanqing turned her head, looking at Xiao Bai, lying on the couch on one side, staring at the two without looking away; she couldn’t hide the shame and nervousness in her heart.
??
“Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai is watching ……”
??
Lin Wanqing pushed him, but the always bashful Lord Su was not the least bit moved, grabbed her unrestful hands and lifted them upwards, revealing the two masses of softness hidden in the clothes, and said, “Let it watch.”
??
“It’s fine.” After speaking, he leaned down and captured the reddish and pretty nipple.

Author Notes:
??
Qingqing: Su Moyi, why are you getting more shameless? Xiao Bai is still a virgin!
??
Dog Su: Let it learn a lesson. It’s time to reward my family’s Si Yu with something.
??
Xiao Bai spoiled Si Yu’s bones, and Qingqing spoiled Lord Su’s earrings, hiahiahiahiahia
