Chapter 105: Countdown to the Big Wedding 5

The woman before him smiled so enchantingly, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection. Her gaze was clear, rippling like water, completely different from her usual demeanor. She was stunningly attractive with an added allure that made one’s imagination run wild.

Anyone who saw her would be mesmerized.

Su Qingwan’s cheeks grew hot at her words, his heart beating a little faster. Suddenly thinking of something, he stared into her eyes and said meaningfully, “I’m not the only one with ulterior motives towards sister Yuner today. I noticed those noble guests at the banquet were quite enthusiastic about you, all eager to marry off their young sons to you!”

Although he was seated on the inner side, he wasn’t far from the woman’s seat. His attention had been on her the whole time, so he could hear bits and pieces of the women’s conversations, all about matchmaking for sister Yuner.

Fortunately, sister Yuner directly stated that she was already engaged, which put an end to their chatter.

Lu Yuner’s eyelids twitched slightly: “Jealous?”

Su Qingwan didn’t want to hide his feelings. Who would want their beloved woman to be coveted by others? So he earnestly responded with an “Mm.”

Faced with Su Qingwan’s honest answer, Lu Yuner smiled and explained, “Whether it’s my aunt’s or uncle’s birthday, I come to Jinling Zhou every time to attend the birthday banquet. I’ve met these noble guests before.”

“Perhaps they find me decent, so they specifically inquire about my marital status from my aunt. Seeing that I’m not yet married, they try to matchmake. Before I met Ah Wan, this happened every year.”

“Now that I’ve informed them all that I’m engaged, they won’t mention it again.”

“Sister Yuner,” Su Qingwan called out to her happily.

Reaching out to her fair face, he seemed to be intentionally caressing her skin. “Aunt’s birthday banquet is over. In another day, we’ll return to the capital, and then we’ll be separated.”

“Moreover, according to wedding customs, we can’t meet before the wedding, let alone be intimate like this. Will sister Yuner miss me?”

Lu Yuner’s eyelashes trembled. She hadn’t thought about this. Since their engagement, they had spent almost all their free time together.

Although it was mostly the young master Su who actively clung to her, she had already gotten used to having someone around her.

Before meeting young master Su, her life had always been routine, and this world held no deep attachments for her.

Now, everything had changed since the moment she met him. He possessed qualities unlike anyone else in this world. From initially being moved by the young man’s passionate confession to him following her without regard for his own life.

His love for her exceeded her imagination, immeasurable.

To be so deeply in love with a woman, was he foolish?

No, he knew what he wanted.

Was he stupid?

No, he simply loved her purely, without considering the consequences.

Seeing that she hadn’t answered quickly, Su Qingwan’s mood became a bit gloomy. Why did sister Yuner need to think so long about this question?

He lowered his eyes and thought, it had always been him clinging to her, loving to be by her side.

Without him, perhaps she wouldn’t feel like she was missing anything.

Thinking of this, a faint sadness tinged Su Qingwan’s eyes.

Lu Yuner came back to her senses and, seeing his mood suddenly drop, comforted him, “Of course I’ll miss Ah Wan.”

Hearing this, although Su Qingwan was happy inside, he raised his eyes dissatisfiedly, his gaze intentionally pitiable, and softly uttered two words, “Too late.”

Too late? Lu Yuner’s eyes moved. He thought her answer came too late.

Well then, she’d coax him!

Lu Yuner leaned down and gently sucked on his lips, her domineering and chilling aura engulfing his lips and tongue. The continuous sound of water echoed with ambiguity.

This time, Su Qingwan, with a red face, didn’t actively entangle with her. Restraining the restlessness in his heart, he allowed the person on top of him to keep kissing.

His goal was to make sister Yuner take the initiative to seek pleasure in front of him.

Seeing that Su Qingwan wasn’t falling for this, a glint of interest flashed in Lu Yuner’s eyes. Who knew this little one’s thoughts were becoming more and more complex.

Lu Yuner whispered in Su Qingwan’s ear with a light laugh, “Ah Wan, do you remember what I said earlier at the rockery?”

Hearing these words, Su Qingwan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils filled with infinite expectation.

Lu Yuner’s lips curved, and she reached out to undo the ties of her inner garment. Her clothes scattered like clouds, her chest heaving, her skin as white and delicate as snow, revealing a scene of alluring spring.

Seeing this, Su Qingwan unconsciously swallowed. Now seeing it for the second time, those suppressed amorous thoughts began to surge again.

The next second, Lu Yuner pulled over the quilt beside her and covered the two of them. Because of the man below and woman above body overlap, the quilt formed an arc, inevitably leading to endless imagination.

Under the quilt, it was pitch black and filled with ambiguity.

She took Su Qingwan’s hand and slowly explored under her clothes. As they continued to delve deeper, Su Qingwan’s phoenix eyes widened in shock, the blush on his face becoming more vivid and spreading throughout his body.

Everywhere his hand went, he felt an unprecedented wonderful sensation, making him so nervous he could hardly breathe, his ears burning and red.

Su Qingwan finally lowered his eyelashes shyly, not daring to look at her anymore.

But his hand continued to touch, as if obsessed.

At this point, Lu Yuner stopped her actions. This was also her first time doing such a thing, and in these matters, the body’s reaction was the most honest answer.

She too was blushing, lying in the crook of his neck, breathing hotly, “It’s not that I’m not affected, I only have thoughts for Ah Wan. Ah Wan, do you understand now?”

The warm breath stuck to the skin of his neck, making Su Qingwan’s heart tremble. Even the temperature of his blood kept rising, as if his entire body was on fire.

At this moment, Lu Yuner turned to lie beside him. Suddenly, she had the thought of going too far. The skin contact just now wasn’t just uncomfortable for him.

After calming the desire in her heart, she only wanted to get married soon…

Su Qingwan quickly snuggled into her embrace, his hand on her waist tightening its grip. With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he said in a low voice, “Sister Yuner, you’ve changed! But… Ah Wan likes it.”

If it were before, when he did this, it would always be sister Yuner who called a stop. Now she seemed to be intentionally testing the boundaries. It seems now it’s not just him who easily gets caught up in the moment.

The next day, Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan arrived early at the Mu residence. Because they were returning to the capital tomorrow, they spent the last day with their aunt and uncle, chatting and listening to the elders’ advice.

So they stayed at the Mu residence all day. Regarding the incident of servants’ illicit affair that day, because it was dark and the faces couldn’t be seen clearly, Lu Yuner didn’t say much, only briefly mentioning to her aunt about disciplining the servants in the household.

A day later, it was time to return to the capital. The Mu Xuan family bid farewell to Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan one by one at the ferry dock.

As the passenger ship moved further away from the dock, when Su Qingwan put down his hand that was waving goodbye, he inadvertently noticed a familiar figure standing on the other side of the dock.

Su Qingwan’s eyes darkened slightly. He leaned against Lu Yuner and said, “Sister Yuner, I feel a bit unwell since getting on the ship. I want to lie down for a while.”

“Alright.” Thinking of his condition when he first came, Lu Yuner looked worried and helped him turn to enter the cabin.

The Mu Xuan family also turned to leave. Mu Yang suddenly noticed Tang Jingyuan among the crowd on the other side.

Remembering what young master Su had told him, although he hadn’t mentioned it to sister Yuner, he believed it wholeheartedly. Shaking his head with a light sigh, he followed his parents’ footsteps.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something and asked, “Yuner is returning to the capital today, how come we didn’t see Jingyuan?”

Mu Xuan was slightly stunned.

Mu Yang’s eyelashes trembled as he held Ye Chen’s hand and said, “Times are different now. Brother Jingyuan is also engaged now, he should avoid suspicion.”

Ye Chen nodded, “Indeed, now your brother Jingyuan and sister Yuner are both about to start families. Yangyang, shouldn’t you also consider your lifelong happiness? If you have a girl you like, tell us so we can check her out for you.”

Although Mu Xuan didn’t speak, the corners of his mouth turned up. Yes, now it was time to worry about their own child.

Seeing the topic turn to himself, Mu Yang currently had no woman he liked. His eyes turned slightly, and he said thoughtfully, “Well! I’ve already entrusted my lifelong happiness to sister Yuner. She has promised to choose a good wife for me, so you two don’t need to worry.”

Ye Chen spoke up at this point, smiling contentedly, “Oh? Is that so? I’ve always been at ease with Yuner handling things. Since that’s the case, we won’t ask any more questions.”

She glanced at Mu Xuan, who nodded, “We’ll do as you say.”

Meanwhile.

Only when the figure completely disappeared did Tang Jingyuan withdraw his reluctant gaze. If that incident hadn’t happened, he could have openly sent her off. It’s a pity he ruined it himself.

Although sister Yuner was cold towards him, she still preserved his last bit of face from beginning to end.

Tang Jingyuan once again looked towards the faint ship in the distance, silently bidding farewell in his heart, “Sister Yuner, have a safe journey.”

Lu Yuner still followed her previous travel habits, changing the bedding for him to her own, before letting Su Qingwan lie down to rest, while she accompanied him by his side.

Because they were returning to the capital, they would certainly receive a lot of attention. They needed to wait until their wedding day to be able to be intimate like this.

Su Qingwan had originally planned to pretend to sleep, but for some reason, with someone accompanying him, he gradually fell into a deep sleep, body and mind at ease.

The young man before her had porcelain-white skin tinged with a rosy glow, his thick eyelashes slightly curled, accompanied by light breathing sounds, showing a child-like obedience and loveliness.

Lu Yuner unconsciously smiled, her eyes curving. She got up and went to the window, her expression returning to calm, and sighed lightly as she looked at the undulating river scenery.

The few days in Jinling Zhou were neither long nor short, and she didn’t know the situation in the capital.

But given Yun Qinwang’s temperament, by the time they returned, everything would probably have been settled.

As for her, it seemed to have little to do with her.

However, upon returning to the capital, she still needed to visit Yuanruo Temple. She always remembered the master’s words.

Fate begins, fate ends, fate is self-existent; deep emotions, shallow emotions, are not up to people.

Fate gathers, fate scatters, flowers bloom, flowers wither, all things arise due to fate, gather due to fate.

It was time for her to put down roots.
