Chapter 90: Kiss Me, Will You?

Lu Yuner knew there were feelings between them. Otherwise, how could they get along so well these days? Did love need a reason? The answer would certainly vary for different people.

But love is a two-way journey. Why embark on it? These were answers they both needed to seek.

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to! Elder Sister Yuner, don’t leave me!” When Su Qingwan heard that the marriage was to be annulled, he hugged her and cried anxiously.

At this moment, he finally understood why Elder Sister Yuner had asked him several times about the reasons he liked her. It turned out that Elder Sister Yuner had always had concerns in her heart, and he hadn’t even noticed the changes in her emotions.

Su Qingwan looked at her painfully, his bright eyes quickly misting over with a layer of tears. His delicate eyelashes trembled uneasily, and clear, crystalline tears overflowed from his reddened eyes, sliding down his fair cheeks. With a choked voice, he said, “I admit that at first, I had mixed feelings towards Elder Sister Yuner. Elder Sister Yuner made me feel a long-lost sense of security, just like the dependence I had on my father when he was alive. That’s why I kept having people search for your whereabouts, wanting to know if your life was going smoothly and well.”

“Before finding news of you, I had countless times in my dreams imagined scenes of meeting you, always feeling disappointed because I couldn’t see your face clearly. So I could only sleep while hugging the clothes you left behind.”

Lu Yuner’s heart skipped a beat: He still kept my clothes.

“I don’t know what love at first sight feels like, I don’t understand it either. But the first time I saw Elder Sister Yuner at the Imperial Academy, I was stunned by your matchless beauty and those captivating peach blossom eyes. Afterwards, when I came out of the dormitory and heard male students discussing Elder Sister Yuner, I felt an inexplicable irritation in my heart.”

“That day at the lotus pond in the Imperial Academy, when I asked you to confirm the truth and found out it was you, that joy was several times stronger than ever before. But after you left, I felt a kind of emptiness in my heart. So I secretly began to harbor thoughts of coveting Elder Sister Yuner.”

Hearing this, Lu Yuner’s eyes moved almost imperceptibly.

“Then you went to see Brother Nanxi, and even bought him gifts. I don’t know why, but I felt sour inside, so I couldn’t help but follow. Later, you accidentally got drunk, and Brother Nanxi asked me to take you back to the mansion.”

“At first, I kept my distance from Elder Sister Yuner. Who knew that suddenly, when the carriage was moving, there was a jolt, and you, who were unconscious at the time, almost fell. So I naturally supported you, and to prevent you from leaning forward again, I fixed you in my arms.”

Su Qingwan’s ears turned red before he spoke, his expression shy as he said, “But Elder Sister Yuner, in order to find a comfortable sleeping position, you leaned into my embrace, occasionally rubbing against the skin of my neck. So at that time, I couldn’t help but take liberties with Elder Sister Yuner, and as a result, I couldn’t stop myself, so I…”

Lu Yuner now understood what had happened. Looking at his tear-stained little face, she raised her hand to wipe away his tears, feeling heartache. “Alright, after hearing Ah Wan say so much, I’ve already got the answer I wanted. Ah Wan felt irritated, upset, jealous because of me. Actually, all these changes in Ah Wan are manifestations of love at first sight for me. It’s just that Ah Wan is young and naive, inexperienced in matters between men and women, and doesn’t know the reason.”

Su Qingwan stopped crying, his black pupils reflecting a shimmering light. In a humble tone, he asked, “Then Elder Sister Yuner… can you not casually talk about leaving me in the future? I’m really afraid that Elder Sister Yuner will abandon me.”

The young man’s pitiful plea, his sincere words, his eyes full of love for her – Lu Yuner seriously “hmm”-ed, feeling slightly guilty for making him cry. She coaxed gently, “Then will you stop crying now? You’re almost becoming a little cry-baby.”

The gentle, soft voice with its coaxing tone fell lightly on his heart like a feather.

Su Qingwan lowered his eyelashes, a different thought flashing through his eyes. He slightly turned his fair face away, forcing out a flushed, annoyed look, muttering softly, “It’s all because… Elder Sister Yuner said… things that hurt and upset me.”

“Alright, it’s my fault.” Lu Yuner, with a faint smile in her eyes, rested her head on his shoulder, slowly approaching his neck, constantly nuzzling back and forth. With a playful look in her eyes, she deliberately teased him, “Is this how it was that day?”

Faced with Lu Yuner’s sudden affectionate behavior for the first time, Su Qingwan froze like a conditioned reflex, but his heart was beating violently like a little deer.

Lu Yuner slowly exhaled a soft warmth, her intimate tone carrying a hint of indulgence: “Ah Wan, I don’t remember anything from that time I was drunk. Now I want to experience the scene that happened in the carriage then. Will you help me relive it?”

Su Qingwan heard her words clearly, was stunned for a few seconds, while at the same time, the scorching heat of her breath gradually settled on his fair skin. His cheeks seemed like a cluster of red clouds on the horizon, burning hot.

Noticing the young man’s stiff body, Lu Yuner raised her eyes and silently stared at his handsome face, his picturesque eyebrows, his slightly parted lips, the blush on his face.

Suddenly, her eyes darkened. She reached out and pressed the somewhat dazed young man against the carriage wall, while her other hand explored his soft, slender waist. This was Prince Yun’s carriage, spacious and comfortable inside, very convenient for doing things.

Lu Yuner leaned close to his ear and seductively said, “How about it?”

Su Qingwan’s back was pressed against the carriage wall, but his front was tightly pressed against the woman’s chest. A familiar cool fragrance surrounded him, constantly invading his nostrils. The string in his mind was taut.

Su Qingwan suppressed the upward curve of his lips. What he loved most was when Elder Sister Yuner took the initiative to be intimate with him. Casting aside the so-called male sense of shame, he wrapped his arms around her neck like a little demon, nodding with a faint shyness, “Alright, but… if we’re going to do this, Elder Sister Yuner should know what state she’s in when drunk.”

The next second, Lu Yuner’s eyes flashed with surprise. She withdrew her hand and hugged his thin, slender waist, obediently leaning into his embrace. She said directly, “Including that time in the carriage, I’ve been drunk twice in total. I don’t know what state I’m in, but Nanxi said I don’t cry or make trouble, and I’m very obedient. Is that right?”

Hearing the phrase “very obedient,” implying she could be taken advantage of, it immediately transported Su Qingwan to that scene. This phrase had left a particularly deep impression on him, otherwise he wouldn’t have had those restless thoughts.

The fact that Elder Sister Yuner gets drunk easily must absolutely not be known to others. If someone were to take advantage of the situation, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Su Qingwan said very seriously, “Then Elder Sister Yuner, will you promise me not to drink alcohol anymore?”

Lu Yuner looked up at him, her expression slightly troubled, “Ah Wan, I might not be able to promise you that.”

Su Qingwan looked confused. Usually, she would agree to his requests, especially since drinking alcohol easily harms the body. He asked, “Why?”

Lu Yuner hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually… I used to have nightmares frequently and couldn’t fall asleep at all, so I would drink a small cup before bed. It helps me sleep better.”

Hearing this, Su Qingwan frowned, his eyes showing a hint of worry. Lu Yuner noticed his unease and gently stroked his smooth cheek, comforting him, “But don’t worry, Ah Wan. I rarely have nightmares now, and I’ve reduced my drinking frequency. Moreover, I only drink a little, and it’s all fruit wine or flower wine that Nanxi brews for me, which doesn’t easily intoxicate. Don’t worry about me.”

Seeing things were developing in a good direction, Su Qingwan finally relaxed and advised, “Then Elder Sister Yuner, except when at home, if you want to drink anywhere else, you must have me present, alright?”

This way, with him there, no one would dare to force Elder Sister Yuner to drink.

Lu Yuner’s lips curved into a gentle smile, deliberately calling him in a drawn-out tone, “Alright, my future little husband.”

Hearing these words, Su Qingwan’s little face grew redder and redder, becoming more and more charming under her gaze. Lu Yuner had originally wanted to be intimate with him for a while, but their conversation seemed to have passed quickly, and Qiu Yi was probably already waiting for her at the mansion.

Lu Yuner sat up straight, preparing to lift the curtain. “Alright, I’ll go call someone to send me back to the mansion!”

Seeing this, Su Qingwan immediately pulled her back. The two were at the height of their emotions with no one to disturb them. His thoughts about her were known only to himself, having been restrained for so long. He not only wanted to win her heart but also coveted her body, wanting even more to become her husband.

Although the two were already in love and only needed to wait for their wedding day, it was still a kind of torment for him. It wouldn’t hurt to have a little sweetness occasionally.

It was rare for Elder Sister Yuner to take the initiative to be close to him and even act coquettishly. How could he bear to let her go!

Su Qingwan shamelessly sought her favor, “Wait a moment, Elder Sister Yuner, there’s still something we haven’t finished, right?”

Knowing what she meant, Lu Yuner smiled and said, “Next time.”

“I don’t want next time.” Su Qingwan threw himself into her arms, not letting her make the next move. “A gentleman’s word is worth a thousand gold, and a great woman should not go back on her word. Moreover, Elder Sister Yuner, as a teacher, you should do what you say.”

Seeing him trying every means, using her identity, and even lecturing her on principles, Lu Yuner helplessly explained, “It’s already late, if the carriage stops for too long…”

“I don’t care.” Su Qingwan, knowing Lu Yuner’s nature, began to show watery eyes, looking pitiful. He rested his chin on her shoulder, pretending to cry, “Elder Sister Yuner doesn’t keep her word.”

The delicate young man’s crying really got to her. Lu Yuner reached out to hug him, smiling, “You! Have you been harboring improper thoughts about me for a long time?”

They weren’t even married yet! He was already unsatisfied with her several times. What would happen after marriage? He’d probably cling to her every day…

The child who cries gets the candy, the man who acts coquettishly gets the best fate. These were all things Brother Nanxi had told him – that in front of the woman you love, you shouldn’t be too shy.

Su Qingwan’s face was red and hot. He buried his face in the nook of her neck, appearing docile, but his eyes flashed with an unfathomable darkness. “That’s right. I’m not afraid of Elder Sister Yuner calling me impetuous, lacking a man’s gentleness and restraint. Actually, ever since I secretly kissed Elder Sister Yuner in the carriage last time, from that moment on, I’ve been thinking about Elder Sister Yuner all the time. I want both Elder Sister Yuner’s heart and body, and I’ve been coveting them for a long time.”

Lu Yuner’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. She pulled him away from her embrace and looked at him thoughtfully. The young man had a delicate bone structure, thin and frail, clearly a born delicate young master, but the words he spoke indeed surprised her.

After saying these heartfelt words, Su Qingwan did not avert his gaze out of shame. Although his face was red, he still maintained eye contact with her. His thick, black eyelashes trembled as he slowly approached with an affectionate gaze, his heart pounding nervously. “Elder Sister Yuner, will you kiss me?”

Would he succeed this time? Would Elder Sister Yuner agree to his request?

Hearing these words, Lu Yuner seemed to return to their first encounter at Qinghua Garden, when Young Master Su had gazed at her lovingly, while using a low, hoarse voice to entice her with the words, “Elder Sister Yuner, will you give us a try?”

It had thrown her heart into chaos, causing her to make mistake after mistake.

At that time, they were not yet in love with each other. She had rejected all his affections and even hurt him with her words, causing him to shed many tears.
