By a twist of fate, the illegitimate son of the Marquis's family marries the county princess.

Chapter 44 Offering Oneself to the Tiger

Looking at his wife, who was giggling and asking him for a gift, Wen Zongji teased her, "Time was too tight, I wasn't prepared."

The young wife's face visibly showed disappointment.

"Not being prepared...that's impossible."

Pei Rujing's eyes instantly brightened.

Wen Zongji couldn't help but laugh. Pei Rujing couldn't hide anything in her heart; whatever she thought was written all over her face. It was quite amusing to watch her change expressions.

Enraged, Pei Rujing lunged at Wen Zongji, grabbing his neck and snarling, "Your life is in my hands now, hand over the gift!"

Wen Zongji rolled his eyes in agreement: "Princess, spare my life, I'll go get it right away."

Pei Rujing found it amusing and deliberately put on a stern face: "I'm going to keep an eye on you!"

"The things are in the study."

"Come on! I'll go with you!"

Pei Rujing walked behind Wen Zongji, looking like she was watching over him.

Qinghe and the others couldn't help but lower their heads and suppress their laughter.

Granny Feng shook her head.

Upon entering the study, the servants wisely refrained from following him in.

As soon as he reached the desk, Wen Zongji's expression changed instantly, revealing a ferocious smile as he grabbed Pei Rujing.

"ah--"

Pei Rujing was startled.

Wen Zongji carried her to the desk, wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from moving, and revealed a villainous smile: "Hehehe—little lady, you've already fallen into my hands, why don't you beg me for mercy?"

Pei Rujing glanced at Wen Zongji, whose face had been deliberately contorted into a ferocious expression. Her eyes darted around, and she puffed out her chest, declaring with righteous indignation, "I am the Princess of Anhe County! How could I beg for mercy from a villain!"

Wen Zongji was taken aback. Why wasn't he playing by the rules?

Pei Rujing was hooked and continued, "There are countless chivalrous people in this world who uphold justice. Even if I were to leave, it wouldn't affect our great cause."

Wen Zongji: "..."

grass

I almost forgot!

His young wife didn't like reading sentimental romance novels; she preferred martial arts novels.

Now, she has clearly placed herself in the shoes of a heroine who has unfortunately fallen into enemy hands.

Wen Zongji blinked, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Does the county princess know what happens to a heroine who unfortunately falls into enemy hands?"

As he spoke, Wen Zongji moved closer to Pei Rujing, so close that his breath was already hitting her neck.

Pei Rujing's face flushed slightly, and her breathing became much more rapid as she recalled something.

Wen Zongji was stunned.

He waited for his young wife to push him away in shame and anger, but she seemed to freeze, her body motionless.

How should this play continue?

Wen Zongji finally managed to play a role-playing game with his young wife, but she repeatedly went against the script, which really caused him a lot of trouble.

With a silent sigh, Wen Zongji decided to end this role-playing session.

Just as she was about to get up, Pei Rujing raised her hand and put her arm around Wen Zongji's neck.

"Hmph! To prevent you, you fiend, from harming innocent people, I, the county magistrate, have decided to offer myself as bait."

Eh?

Wen Zongji's mind went blank for a moment after Pei Rujing's words.

I was just about to ask Pei Rujing what she was up to?

The next moment, Pei Rujing kissed him.

Unlike his previous recklessness.

Pei Rujing seemed to have already learned the details of kissing. Her soft lips gently touched Wen Zongji's, slightly parted as she tried to invade Wen Zongji's territory.

Wen Zongji's gaze deepened instantly. He raised his hand to embrace Pei Rujing, took a step back, and the two of them instantly moved from the desk to sit on a wooden chair.

Pei Rujing has already used her ultimate move. If Wen Zongji doesn't respond, wouldn't he be unworthy of being a man?

Wen Zongji instantly turned the tables and firmly grasped the initiative in his own hands.

Suddenly, an ambiguous atmosphere arose in the study. The rustling sound of the breeze blowing against the window could be heard outside, but it did not affect the two people inside in the slightest.

I do not know how long it has been

Wen Zongji only released Pei Rujing when he sensed she was about to suffocate.

Lost in her own world, Pei Rujing instinctively chased after him, only to be tapped on the forehead by Wen Zongji: "Little glutton, do you want to suffocate?"

Pei Rujing instantly snapped out of her daze, her face flushed red as she nestled against Wen Zongji's chest, too ashamed to look up at him.

Wen Zongji held her as they sat on a chair, quietly calming the restlessness within him.

At the same time, he was wondering if he had just abducted a minor girl.

Three years as a starting point —

Wen Zongji immediately put the idea out of his mind.

joke!

He was openly being intimate with his wife; how could that be considered kidnapping?

With a stunning beauty lying in your arms, he doesn't believe any man could resist.

He's already a modern-day Liu Xiahui (a legendary figure known for his chastity) for having maintained his marriage to this day.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Pei Rujing became a little unhappy and looked up at him, asking in a sweet voice, "Did I do a great job this time?"

The county princess is very competitive; she made a fool of herself by kissing Wen Zongji last time.

She specially asked someone to buy some storybooks to study. Although Wen Zongji had been leading her most of the time, at least she did a good job in the first step.

It is evident that the learning has been quite effective.

Wen Zongji nodded, praising generously: "Excellent! But I'd like to know which storybook the county princess is reading that features a female knight-errant sacrificing herself to feed a tiger? No offense, I'm just curious to see."

Is this a proper storybook?

Why does he seem a little suspicious?

Pei Rujing's face flushed red again, her head practically steaming, and she stammered, "I forgot... I forgot."

"Oh—you forgot?"

Wen Zongji drawled out his words.

Pei Rujing was even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the county princess was best at sophistry and turning the tables.

The next moment, Pei Rujing stood up from Wen Zongji's embrace, her eyebrows furrowed, and said, "Don't try to change the subject. If you can't produce a gift, I won't let you off the hook!"

Wen Zongji raised his chin: "It's right there on the desk."

Pei Rujing was taken aback. She turned her head and saw a stack of papers covered with writing on the desk, which had been simply bound together.

She picked it up and took a look!

A legend has long circulated in the martial arts world: whoever possesses the Zhenyue Blade will rule the world!

Pei Rujing, who had considerable experience reading storybooks, recognized it from the very first sentence: "This is a storybook?"

Wen Zongji nodded: "I didn't know what to give the county princess, so I wrote one for you since I knew you wanted to read martial arts novels. This is only the first half; it's not finished yet."

He had been working overtime these past few days and had written 100,000 words, which was enough to finish the first major plot, not to deliberately keep Pei Rujing in suspense.

Thinking of Wen Zongji's early mornings and late nights these past few days, Pei Rujing pursed her lips and asked, "Is this what you've been busy with these past few days?"

"Yeah, it has to be finished today."

"Fool!"

Pei Rujing said in a coquettish voice, "Even if you deliver it to me a few days later, would I be angry with you?"

Wen Zongji took her hand and kissed it, then leaned back casually in his chair, a flirtatious smile playing on his lips, adding a touch of debauchery to his expression: "How can that be? I promised the county princess."

Pei Rujing subconsciously swallowed.

Princess Anhe, who had lived for sixteen years, experienced the allure of male beauty for the first time.

This guy!

He absolutely cannot be seen like this by outsiders!

When her possessiveness kicked in, Pei Rujing's first thought was to hide Wen Zongji away.
