Chapter 65: Lack of Confidence

Who wouldn’t love such a handsome, adorable, pure, and deeply devoted little boyfriend!

Lu Yuner withdrew her gaze and immediately fell into serious contemplation.

She had no idea about the current situation in the capital, but Lu Yuner believed that with elder sister Ranzhi there, she would surely handle the account book matter properly.

However… the disappearance of young master Su was a major issue. Yun Qinwang would certainly send people to search for him. With her abilities and methods, she could quickly trace their whereabouts based on clues.

But it had been almost two days, and there was no sign of anyone coming to search. Perhaps Yun Qinwang had already discovered that young master Su was with her, guessing that she would undoubtedly protect young master Su at all costs.

After all, the lives of everyone in her Lu family depended on young master Su. If anything happened to him, the others would all perish with him.

Fortunately, heaven favored them, and she and young master Su escaped death.

Lu Yuner saw that young master Su had fallen into a deep sleep. She lightly kissed his forehead and softly said, “Good night, A-Wan.”

Then she left.

Over the next few days, the feelings between the two deepened considerably. Su Qingwan’s body gradually recovered, and he was able to walk on his own.

However, wherever Lu Yuner went, the love-struck Su Qingwan followed like a shadow, always wanting to stick close to her.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, casting a beautiful twilight.

Old Man Li had been invited to treat someone in the neighboring village and would return tomorrow.

Lu Yuner was preparing dinner for the two of them. She was very skilled at washing vegetables and cooking, but unable to refuse young master Su’s desire to help, she arranged for him to sit by the stove and watch the fire.

During this time, Su Qingwan watched Lu Yuner’s fluid cooking movements, his eyes shining brightly, filled with endless love and admiration.

At the same time, he recalled the last time he suddenly got his period, and elder sister Yuner personally made menstrual pads for him. Now thinking about it, elder sister Yuner was so capable, able to handle both court affairs and kitchen work.

Such a rare and good woman in the world belonged to him alone.

Thinking of this, Su Qingwan’s cheeks heated up, suddenly turning rosy.

Noticing that the stove fire had gotten a bit smaller, Lu Yuner was currently facing away from him, cutting vegetables. Seeing this, Su Qingwan tried to learn from elder sister Yuner’s method of putting firewood into the stove.

However, having been born into wealth and luxury, always served by others in everything, his life was vastly different from that of ordinary people. Even the basic task of adding firewood was a great challenge for him.

Soon, Su Qingwan’s fair little face became dirty and smudged.

At the same time, while grabbing a piece of firewood, he was scratched by a splinter, causing young master Su to quickly withdraw his hand in pain. The firewood fell, making a noise that attracted attention.

Lu Yuner heard the commotion behind her, put down her vegetable cutting, and quickly came to young master Su’s side with furrowed brows, asking worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

Su Qingwan lowered his eyes to look at the blood seeping from his finger, hesitating whether to speak up, “I…”

Before he could finish, he saw elder sister Yuner grab his bleeding finger and immediately put it in her mouth. The moment it was enveloped, he clearly felt his finger being wrapped in a wet, soft warmth.

Accompanied by gentle sucking, this strange yet wonderful sensation made the inexperienced Su Qingwan involuntarily let out a short, low moan, “Mmm—”

Su Qingwan quickly came to his senses, his eyes widening as he instinctively covered his mouth with his other hand, realizing he had made a strange sound.

His face flushed red, and he glanced at Lu Yuner with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance before lowering his head again, unable to face her.

Seeing young master Su’s reaction, Lu Yuner’s eyes flashed with momentary surprise before she removed his finger from her mouth.

This method of temporarily treating simple wounds was something she had learned from her grandparents in the countryside, but she hadn’t expected… young master Su to be so sensitive.

Lu Yuner took Su Qingwan to the room and brought ointment to apply on him, explaining, “Our saliva contains small amounts of lysozyme and blood clotting factors. For small wounds like yours, it has some disinfecting and hemostatic effects. But the effect is minimal, so you still need to apply ointment.”

Su Qingwan nodded, seeming to understand but not quite, still with a layer of blush on his face.

After applying the medicine.

“However…” Lu Yuner smiled sweetly and said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect A-Wan to be not only easily embarrassed but also so sensitive. You can’t handle much teasing. What will we do in the future!”

After Lu Yuner finished speaking, she glanced at his jade-white ears, which had already turned as red as blood droplets.

She stopped teasing him and noticed his face was dirty like a little cat’s. The corner of her mouth curled up, “Wait for me a moment.”

Although Su Qingwan was embarrassed, these words stirred up strange thoughts in his heart.

Elder brother Nanxi had once told him that women in this world most like obedient and romantic men, and that was also the easiest way to keep a woman’s heart.

Elder sister Yuner was gentle and romantic, understanding the ways of interaction between men and women, while he was a blank slate in this area, somewhat wooden and not understanding romance. He complacently enjoyed elder sister Yuner’s care and doting,

But what could he bring to elder sister Yuner?

Soon, Lu Yuner brought in a basin of clear water, wrung out a clean cloth, and gently wiped his face. Su Qingwan was still blushing, not noticing the change in his own mood.

“Look at your little face, dirty like a little cat.” After wiping his face, Lu Yuner also wiped his hands. “You’re not good at these trivial household chores, so don’t do them in the future. Just sit quietly on the side.”

“Elder sister Yuner, are you…” Before Su Qingwan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a familiar voice from outside, “Elder sister Lu! Elder sister Lu!”

Hearing this, Su Qingwan’s expression tightened. It was him again, why had he come again?

“It’s Miss Ma’s younger brother-in-law, Chen Jinqing.” Lu Yuner put down the cloth and took Su Qingwan’s hand to go out, her eyes smiling, “Come, let’s go see. It’s a good chance for you two to get to know each other.”

Seeing elder sister Yuner’s smiling face, Su Qingwan knew she was always polite and humble towards others, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Opening the door, they saw Chen Jinqing in the courtyard holding a small bamboo basket covered with a cloth. Lu Yuner walked forward and asked, “Why have you come?”

At the same time, Chen Jinqing’s and Su Qingwan’s gazes silently collided. Chen Jinqing’s eyelashes trembled involuntarily, then he smiled gracefully, “These past few days, a lot of wild vegetables have grown on the mountain, so tender! So I picked some wild vegetables and made vegetable dumplings. They’ve just come out of the oven and are still hot! I brought them for elder sister Lu and young master Su to try.”

After saying this, he paused for a second and deliberately glanced at Su Qingwan with a complex look.

“Vegetable dumplings? You made them yourself?” Lu Yuner suddenly got excited, because her grandparents had made them for her in the countryside, but unfortunately, she hadn’t had them since her soul transmigrated.

“Yes!” Chen Jinqing lifted the cover cloth and took one out of the basket to hand to her. “Elder sister Lu, try it?”

Lu Yuner reached out to take it and immediately broke it in half, handing one half to Su Qingwan, “Here, you try it too.”

Lu Yuner took a bite and savored it carefully. Although it was somewhat different from what she had imagined, the taste was indeed good. She couldn’t help but praise, “Mmm, delicious! Your cooking skills are really good!”

“Really?” Being praised by her like this, Chen Jinqing beamed with joy. Compared to others’ compliments, elder sister Lu’s praise seemed to make his body and mind even more pleased. He said happily, “Then elder sister Lu… and young master Su should eat more.”

Su Qingwan looked at the vegetable dumpling in his hand, his mind in a mess, giving rise to feelings of inferiority and low spirits.

From elder sister Yuner’s expression, he could see that she seemed to like it very much, and those lively eyes even revealed rare excitement and happiness.

Elder sister Yuner seemed to not only like this vegetable dumpling but also praised Chen Jinqing profusely.

Chen Jinqing was clever and capable, good at housework and handling all these domestic tasks with ease.

And him? Apart from knowing a bit of needlework, he couldn’t cook or do laundry, couldn’t even serve people properly, and was like a useless person in front of elder sister Yuner, always needing her to worry about everything for him.

Thinking of this, Su Qingwan suddenly realized that he seemed to be good for nothing, completely unworthy of her.

After sending Chen Jinqing off, the two were having dinner when the observant Lu Yuner noticed young master Su’s unusual behavior. After returning to the room and changing his medicine, they sat facing each other on the bed, silently gazing at each other.

As a couple, there is no naturally perfect fit. Both need to slowly adapt to each other. Regarding young master Su’s hidden concerns, Lu Yuner hoped he could take the initiative to confide in her, rather than having her guess. This way, their future interactions could be more comfortable and stable.

Young master Su was emotionally inexperienced, and she was willing to give him enough time to grow with her companionship,

Suddenly, Su Qingwan, not knowing where he got the strength from, grabbed Lu Yuner’s collar, leaned forward, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against hers, entangling with her passionately.

Young master Su seemed like a restless little dog, overly enthusiastic and in urgent need of comfort.

No matter how calm Lu Yuner tried to be, she couldn’t help but have her heartbeat disrupted by the physiological reaction. She held that slender waist tightly in her arms, involuntarily closing her eyes and cooperating with him.

After getting what he wanted, Su Qingwan, no longer inexperienced, was like a pool of boiling hot spring water, fiercely sweeping through all of the other’s goodness.

They turned and ground against each other, unable to stop.

After a long while.

Su Qingwan moved his lips away in a daze, his whole body flushed with a layer of rosy color. He opened his eyes, breathing unevenly, “Elder sister Yuner, do you like it? If you like it, let me continue to serve you, okay?”

The young man before her had disheveled clothes half open, the beautiful lines of his neck and collarbone revealing intense emotions. His slender waist slightly raised, pressing tightly against her, arching up in an effort to please, even more alluring and bewitching than the coquettish male prostitutes in brothels putting on airs.

His eyes were filled with spring, captivating and enchanting. He seemed a bit wanton but not at all affected or pretentious. Instead, he was sincere and earnest, genuinely heartfelt.

Lu Yuner sighed inwardly again: He really is a little demon. Calling him “Su Daji” wasn’t wrong at all.

But how could she not know about young master Su’s unusual behavior.

Lu Yuner steadied her breathing, stared at him for a while, and said with particular seriousness, “A-Wan, now that we are lovers and will soon discuss marriage, in the process of getting along with each other, we need to be mutually honest and trusting. Only then can our relationship not break due to various conflicts. I, Lu Yuner, sincerely want to walk this path with you properly. Or… is young master Su just playing around with me?”

Lu Yuner also didn’t want to use harsh words, but if such problems kept occurring, and despite having time to resolve them, they continued to drag on.

Given enough time, she couldn’t guarantee that she would still like him.
