2576 Side Story 80: Thank You
Marriage contract.

When these two words landed in Jian Fengchi’s ears, they were like thunder that struck Jian Fengchi’s mind.

He looked at Mu Hongyu in a daze. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if this was reality or illusion. Did I drink too much tonight and am very drunk, or…

“…Hongyu, you’re… willing to marry me?” His voice was very light, and there was a hint of caution. Even if it was a dream, he didn’t dare to disturb it.

Looking at his rare dazed appearance, Mu Hongyu was both angry and amused. That sentence just now was almost equivalent to me taking the initiative to propose. Why didn’t he nod immediately?

Even though she had a straightforward personality, she was still a lady and was still shy in such matters. Saying that sentence had already used up all the courage she had accumulated with much difficulty.

She snorted softly. “It’s fine if you’re unwilling.”

As she spoke, she took a step back and walked around Jian Fengchi, about to leave.

Jian Fengchi grabbed her wrist and hugged her tightly.

With the soft and fragrant jade in his arms, he even felt that he could hear her heartbeat. It was deafening when it mixed with his.

“How can that do?”

He rested his chin on her shoulder, as if he was afraid that she would run away again. He hugged her extremely tightly. “You’ve already agreed. How can you go back on your word?”

As he spoke, his lips couldn’t help but curl up, and he chuckled softly.

The scorching aura landed on Mu Hongyu’s neck, causing her to itch.

She moved away and placed her hands on Jian Fengchi’s chest, wanting to push him away.

This hug was too tight.

“Jian Fengchi, it hurts!” She stepped on Jian Fengchi’s boots.

Jian Fengchi felt the pain, but he couldn’t care about himself. When he heard her say that it hurt, he hurriedly let go and looked down at her, his heart aching. “Did I hurt you?”

Mu Hongyu saw his nervous and worried face and couldn’t help but laugh. “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently rubbed it against her neck. “It’s just a little itchy.”

When Jian Fengchi spoke just now, he was really too close. Even if the two of them were separated now, the burning and itchy feeling seemed to still be on her skin.

Upon hearing this, Jian Fengchi blinked lightly. “I’ll help you then.”

Before Mu Hongyu could recover her senses, she felt the man in front of her approaching her again.

He wrapped his long arm around her slender and soft waist and pulled her into his arms.

Probably because he made the same mistake as before and accidentally hurt her, his actions were still strong this time but much gentler.

Mu Hongyu was dazed. “What are you—”

Her voice trailed off. All the words melted into the soft lips that gently landed on the side of her neck.

Mu Hongyu’s mind was blank. Then, she suddenly widened her eyes and realized what had happened.

Her heart suddenly beat rapidly, almost jumping out of her chest. It was as if there was a fire burning there, and the scorching temperature quickly swept through her body.

“You!” She was extremely embarrassed. I never expected Jian Fengchi to actually, actually—where exactly did he learn such a method?

She took half a step back and looked up to see if this man was really drunk or pretending!

Detecting her actions, Jian Fengchi obediently let go again. After that, he lowered his head and gazed at her gently and expectantly. “Is this better?”

There was drunkenness in his eyes, but they were especially clear. It was as if he had just used his hand to gently scratch her a few times.

Mu Hongyu’s face instantly flushed red.

Sensing that Jian Fengchi really didn’t do anything else and was just waiting for her reply with a face filled with questions, she felt that she had thought wrongly.

The strong smell of alcohol permeated the air.

Mu Hongyu secretly felt regret. It’s probably the aftereffects of the alcohol. What am I fighting with a drunk person for?

After a while, she stammered, “M-much better.”

Once the words left her mouth, her entire body seemed to burn.

Mu Hongyu’s head hurt. I didn’t drink. Why do I seem to be drunk too?

When Jian Fengchi heard this answer, he seemed especially happy, and his lips curved up. “That’s great.”

Mu Hongyu looked at him and felt that this man looked especially obedient. He didn’t look like the carefree Eldest Young Master Jian that she had never seen before.

Their eyes met, and there seemed to be a faint flirtatious aura flowing.

Jian Fengchi’s face was indeed demonic. Even if he didn’t speak and just looked over quietly, he was still charming.

Mu Hongyu gradually couldn’t take it anymore and gently pushed him. “Let me help you to rest.”

As she spoke, she led him into the house.

Jian Fengchi was half a step behind her and obediently let her do whatever she wanted.

Behind, where Mu Hongyu couldn’t see, his eyelashes fluttered as he raised his hand to gently brush his lips.

He had indeed drunk quite a bit tonight, and all sorts of emotions in his heart were triggered by the alcoholic smell. However… it was far from enough to make him drunk until he was unconscious.

Seeing that Mu Hongyu was still walking in, he looked up slightly and saw the especially soft and wide bed.

Her hand was soft and boneless. When she approached, she could still smell a faint fragrance.

That aura was mixed with the alcoholic smell, making it even more alluring.

No, I can’t stay here.

Jian Fengchi closed his eyes.

“Lie down and rest first. When you fall asleep, I’ll—” Before Mu Hongyu could finish her sentence, she felt Jian Fengchi suddenly stop behind her.
She turned around in shock. “What’s the matter?”

Jian Fengchi glanced at her deeply.

Nothing much.

He just didn’t dare to stay in the same room as her. If not, he didn’t know what else he would do.

He held her hand tightly and seriously said, “I don’t want to sleep now.”

Mu Hongyu was confused. “Then, what do you want to do?”

Jian Fengchi paused. “Follow me.”

…

In another courtyard of Fantasy Divine Palace.

It was already late at night, but the lights were still on.

The warm yellow light shone through the window, reflecting a tall figure.

Inside the house.

Tuan Zi was sitting on the bed. She looked up and was elated. “You haven’t said it yet! Did you like me first? If you don’t make yourself clear today, I-I won’t leave!”

As she spoke, she swiftly lay down and occupied the entire bed. Her eyes were filled with provocation, but her elated and arrogant expression was already very certain.

Zi Chen pressed his glabella. I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

After the commotion in the day, he didn’t have much time to say anything. Chu Liuyue only said, “Let Tuan Zi think about it properly,” before bringing the stunned Tuan Zi away.

In the end, Tuan Zi actually ran over on her own at night and kept asking him questions. Only then did he know that Chu Liuyue meant for Tuan Zi to think about this properly…

He coughed lightly and walked to the side. “I’ll go take a shower. You can sleep here if you want. There’s a small couch in the outer room—I’ll go there later.”

Tuan Zi immediately jumped up and ran to him barefooted to stop him. “Then, I’ll bathe with you!”

I don’t believe I can’t find out!

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open. “Zi Chen, I brought Hongyu over to thank—”

Jian Fengchi and Mu Hongyu stood outside the door and clearly saw Tuan Zi almost hugging Zi Chen. They even clearly heard her declaration.

“…Thank you…”

Zi Chen: “…”

Tuan Zi: “…”
