Chapter 43
The two of them gazed at each other silently.
Su Qingwan’s face was slightly flushed. Wearing the new clothes he had specially changed into, he took a few light steps closer. In front of his beloved, he slowly stretched out his slender arms, turning slightly left and right to show them off. “Elder Sister Yuner, do I look good in this outfit?”
To be honest, she was stunned.
This pink outfit was particularly difficult for men to pull off. If not careful, it could easily look gaudy or tacky.
But the young man before her had fair and smooth skin, well-proportioned figure, and most importantly, that incomparably handsome face that had enough capital to suit different colored clothes.
Lu Yuner nodded, giving an honest opinion: “You look good.”
Receiving the praise, a wave of immense joy washed over him.
Su Qingwan’s eyelashes fluttered like raven feathers, a faint smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to his brows.
The fair skin exposed outside his clothes also blushed slightly from shyness, like a peach soaked in pleasant sweetness, seemingly surrounded by a haze of pink bubbles.
He truly was an exceptionally beautiful young man.
Lu Yuner’s gaze rippled slightly as she looked away, “Let’s eat!”
She really wanted to leave Yun Qinwang’s mansion soon. She hadn’t returned home last night, and since Qiu Yi hadn’t come looking for her, Manager Chen must have informed her household.
Staying overnight at Yun Qinwang’s mansion, plus the spying in the peach blossom grove, and now deliberately arranging for her to be alone with Young Master Su, it wasn’t hard to guess the intention behind these actions.
Lu Yuner’s long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. She had thought Yun Qinwang would keep her promise, but unexpectedly, under the guise of “helping”, she was actually trying to matchmake them.
Moreover, in terms of status and power, she and Yun Qinwang were worlds apart.
From a national hostage to the now famous Yun Qinwang, she had no power to refuse at all. On the contrary, it could bring her many inconveniences.
The chess game incident last time was enough to show that Yun Qinwang was a decisive person who spared no effort.
In these days since her soul transmigration, Lu Yuner knew deeply that under power, human life was worth less than an ant’s.
At this point, she could only temporarily put aside other matters and agree to Young Master Su’s request first, in order to possibly gain the initiative.
Su Qingwan obediently ate his meal, occasionally stealing glances at the person beside him with his peripheral vision, chewing slowly and deliberately, his manners refined and elegant.
He looked somewhat entranced.
Suddenly, when the other’s gaze swept over, his secret glances were discovered. His heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly lowered his eyelashes, nervously pressing his feet together under the table.
She had long noticed the young man’s gaze, but when she looked back, he would dodge.
Lu Yuner’s examining gaze fell on the young man who was burying his head in his food. She then raised her chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his bowl. “This chicken is good. It’s boneless, with a rich texture and tender meat. Young Master Su, try some.”
“Alright.”
Elder Sister Yuner didn’t like him, so he never dared to hope that in the month they spent together, he could get her active response. Su Qingwan stared blankly at the meat in his bowl with an expression of obvious surprise, trying hard to control his surging emotions.
Suddenly, he recalled the last time at Qu Le Fang, at the dining table, when Elder Sister Yuner had also picked food for him. Then she got drunk… and then…
As he thought about it, the kissing scene in the carriage that made him blush and his heart race suddenly flashed in his mind. Su Qingwan’s cheeks suddenly became hot and flushed.
His expression changed slightly as he stole another glance at Lu Yuner, his burning gaze slowly moving to her cherry-red lips.
Although some time had passed, the sweet softness of their lips touching was still unforgettable to him, causing him to toss and turn.
Su Qingwan unconsciously swallowed, his fair ears heating up, and a sudden surge of restlessness rose within him.
Lu Yuner, who had finished her meal, was just wiping her mouth, unaware that Su Qingwan’s covetous thoughts about her were surging like huge waves in his mind.
Young and in the prime of youth, experiencing first love, full of vigor, shy and unbearable.
Once one tastes the matters of love, it becomes impossible to stop, gradually being consumed by desire.
Once involved in carnal matters, one progresses step by step from nervous inexperience to passionate boldness.
Even the most naive and innocent little rabbit can turn into a scheming black-bellied puppy.
So it’s not impossible to become crazy with love.
Su Qingwan stared for a long time with deep eyes, slowly getting closer, his hand moving with his heart, unable to restrain his emotions.
His restless heart drove his mischievous hand to boldly reach for that moist, soft redness. Just as he was about to reach it—
Suddenly.
“Young Master Su, what do you mean by this?” Looking at the slender white fingers so close, Lu Yuner instinctively backed away, asking with slightly furrowed brows.
Just eating a meal, how did this little guy suddenly become so handsy?
She saw the young man before her with phoenix eyes brimming like water, seeming drunk but not drunk, the teardrop mole under his eye as if dyed red, lazy with a hint of coquettishness, making her extremely uncomfortable. “What’s wrong with you?”
Looking at Young Master Su before her, based on her keen intuition, she felt that something was off about him, but looking at those bright, clear phoenix eyes, he seemed completely harmless.
“Elder Sister Yuner…” A low, hoarse voice sounded, as if spreading from the depths of Su Qingwan’s desires to his throat, carrying thick lust and dissatisfaction.
He had almost… almost succeeded.
A glint of cunning suddenly flashed in Su Qingwan’s deep eyes. His innocent gaze carried a hint of shallow tenderness as his pink fingertips twitched slightly. He changed his words: “There’s some soup stain at the corner of your mouth that wasn’t wiped clean.”
“Is that so?” Lu Yuner instinctively took up her handkerchief to wipe again, not noticing the unusual look in Su Qingwan’s eyes.
Although Lu Yuner didn’t care much about dressing in silks and satins, as long as her clothes were comfortable and proper, it was fine.
She only cared about her personal image.
Simple and plain was no problem, but she absolutely could not be sloppy or unclean. This was her lowest principle.
“Is there still some?” Without a mirror to check, Lu Yuner could only face Young Master Su and ask.
Su Qingwan opened his round, clear eyes, pretending to be serious: “It’s gone now.”
However, she still retained some suspicion. She always ate neatly, and had already wiped her mouth. How could there still be soup stains? But looking at Young Master Su’s clean gaze, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Su Qingwan’s jet-black eyes moved slightly, staring unblinkingly at the beautiful face before him, with a flattering expression. “I was wondering… if I could invite Elder Sister Yuner to go boating on the lake and enjoy the night scenery tomorrow?”
As he spoke, he kept staring at those half-open, half-closed red lips. The corners of his mouth curved up into an intriguing smile.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuner agreed.
After finishing the meal, she returned to the Imperial Academy. As soon as she entered her room, she noticed something amiss. Lu Yuner frowned as she approached the cabinet and found that the small wooden piece she had wedged in the crack of the cabinet had fallen to the ground.
Sure enough, someone had been in her room.
