"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Wen Yu asked knowingly, feigning panic and alarm on her face. She took a half - step back, her slender hand clutching tightly at her outer robe, wrapping herself up more tightly. "I'm just a widow. What on earth about me is worth all this trouble from His Highness the Third Prince?" As Wen Yu made this move, Ji Yunqing seemed to notice this annoying robe on her for the first time.
"Tsk. The robe on Lady Pei was personally selected by this prince. It'd be no fun if you keep covering up. Take it off."
Ji Yunqing didn't even bother to maintain a fake smile. His face was cold and stern, and his voice carried an irresistible authority.
Hearing this, there was more embarrassment in Wen Yu's eyes. She glanced behind her. "People might pass by here..."
"So you're saying if no one's around, you'll take it off?"
Ji Yunqing seized the loophole in Wen Yu's words, raising his eyebrows as he asked, his eyes full of mockery.
He scanned Wen Yu up and down, a malicious smile playing on his lips. "This prince thought Lady Pei was some chaste and noble woman. But after just one night with this prince, you're willing to take it off behind closed doors for this prince?"
Wen Yu looked up at him in disbelief, tears hanging on her lower eyelashes, about to fall but not yet, showing a bit of stubbornness and fragility.
"I didn't mean that at all. Even though you're a prince, you can't humiliate me like this!" she roared in a low voice, but her eyes were getting redder and redder. However, as her voice faded, an involuntary moan escaped from her throat.
Wen Yu was both ashamed and angry, putting on a good show of the difficult struggle between reason and physiology.
[Does our baby sister even know that the more she resists, the more excited His Highness gets?]
[He's already humiliating her like this before anything even happens. His Highness is just like a daddy!]
[Just break down our baby sister's psychological defenses step by step. This is such a delicious show. I'm gobbling it up!]
"Humiliate you?" Ji Yunqing seemed to hear something funny. The corner of his mouth curled up. He stretched out his big hand and, regardless of Wen Yu's resistance, forcefully tore off her outer robe. "Look at yourself. Do you think people would recognize you as Lady Pei if you walked out like this?"
Wen Yu squatted down in a panic, hugging herself tightly, trying to protect herself.
Big teardrops fell one by one from her eyes, dampening the ground with a slightly darker shade of water.
Too much of her skin was exposed. Coupled with the aphrodisiac in her body, even a gentle breeze would make her shiver all over.
Ji Yunqing folded his arms, leisurely enjoying Wen Yu's embarrassment. After he'd had enough, he lifted his foot, hooked Wen Yu's chin with the toe of his boot, and then applied a bit more force to make her look up at him.
"Lady Pei, stop with your pitiful act. It's this prince's birthday today. I don't have so much time to watch you cry here."
"Now, this prince will give you two choices. One, follow this prince into the room. Be obedient and be a good birthday gift. Use all your skills to please this prince."
"Or, if Lady Pei is not willing to be proactive, this prince can also enjoy this long - awaited birthday gift right here."
Ji Yunqing's tone was casual, but there was not a hint of joking in it. He retracted his foot and sized up Wen Yu with a look of anticipation. "Lady Pei, make a decision."
"But this prince has to remind Lady Pei of one thing. If you choose the second option, this prince can't guarantee that in a moment of passion, Lady Pei won't lose her last shred of covering today."
[Oh my god, this feels so intense!]
[I've learned the art of language. Low - EQ: I order you to please me. High - EQ: I'll give you two choices.]
[I knew the Third Prince was good - looking, but no one told me he was so alluring when he's being evil!]
[Your Highness, you've got the wrong person. Your little puppy is right here. Woof woof, whimper whimper.]
[This is hardly a punishment. It's clearly a reward!]
"Lady Pei, this prince has never been very patient. If you keep stalling, this prince will assume you've chosen the second option?" Ji Yunqing's voice turned colder, and the curve of his lips flattened. His aura became even more intimidating.
Seeing that Wen Yu still didn't answer, he leaned down, his fingertips gently touching the back of her ear and then slowly sliding down, finally stopping at the collar of her clothes. "Since Lady Pei won't say anything, this prince will choose for you?"
[Your Highness, where are you putting your hands?! Where's your morality? Where's your humanity? Where's the link?]
[Our baby sister sounds so nice when she cries (not really)]
Just as Ji Yunqing pretended to really tear her clothes, Wen Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck. "I choose the first one, Your Highness. I choose the first one. Please don't do this here. People will see..."
Wen Yu's voice was choked with sobs. She was extremely helpless and couldn't escape.
"So good." Ji Yunqing was finally satisfied. He moved his hand away from the collar and instead stroked the top of Wen Yu's head. "Well, this prince is looking forward to Lady Pei's performance."
Wen Yu's face was so red that it seemed blood would drip from it.
Ji Yunqing was about to stand up contentedly and enter the room. But when he moved slightly, he found that Wen Yu's hands around his neck didn't loosen.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Yu with a half - smile, his eyes mischievous. "Can't wait? Or do you think it'll be more exciting here?"
"No. My legs are weak. Please carry me into the room, Your Highness..." Wen Yu was extremely embarrassed, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
[Is this considered flirting?]
[She's already so weak in the knees. How will she manage later? Will she even be able to move?]
Ji Yunqing let out a low laugh. Rarely, he didn't take the opportunity to humiliate her. Instead, he really reached out and picked Wen Yu up, even remembering to pick up the outer robe that had been thrown aside.
Wen Yu would need to wear this robe when she left later. He didn't want to be impeached by those old - fashioned officials in the Censorate for coveting the wife of a deceased official.
Saying he'd do it outside earlier was just to scare Wen Yu. In fact, he'd already had his subordinates guard the area to ensure no one would interfere.
Once they entered the inner room, Wen Yu realized that this was not a bedroom but a tea - tasting room.
Two tea tables were separated by a Su - embroidery screen that was even taller than Ji Yunqing. The Su - embroidery was exquisitely beautiful, but it couldn't change the fact that this screen couldn't block much of the line of sight.
As long as there was light in the room, one could clearly see the silhouettes on the other side of the screen.
It's just that the white base fabric made it impossible to see the details directly.
[Wow, it's translucent. Is the purpose of this screen to add to the excitement?]
[Later, when our baby sister is in the arms of the Third Prince, listening to the Third Prince chatting with the younger brother of her late husband, she'll be so excited but won't even dare to make a sound for fear of being recognized. I'm saying this is such a steamy scene. It might as well just run over me!]
[Who understands? I'm a firm supporter of the White - Moonlight General, but the stories of you two are so delicious. Fine, I'll take a little bite. Some white - moonlight is still out there fighting on the battlefield. Sigh.]
