"Lady Pei is truly the most gorgeous beauty in Shengjing. Her figure and face are both impeccable," Ji Yunqing said, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of having a stunning beauty beneath him. However, as he spoke, a sly smile appeared on his face.
Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, Wen Yu's senses were amplified to the maximum. Every bit of pain and pleasure seemed to multiply.
She knelt in front of the tea table, her knees just touching the edge of the low table.
The half - kneeling position was extremely tiring. Wen Yu's legs trembled, but she couldn't stand up or sit down.
She was completely in Ji Yunqing's control. Although it was her own body, she could only drift in the sea of suffering according to his will.
Wen Yu let out a muffled groan, her voice mixed with sobs. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad.
Seeing that she closed her eyes and refused to reply, Ji Yunqing let out a cold laugh. A hint of harshness flashed across his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to swing the short leather whip in his hand.
After the sound of the whip cutting through the air came the dull thud of it hitting the flesh.
Wen Yu couldn't bear it. A pained groan escaped from her throat.
She couldn't see what was going on behind her, but she could imagine that there must be countless overlapping whip marks on her back by now.
"Your Highness likes every part of Lady Pei's body. It's a pity that Lady Pei seems rather unmotivated. As a married woman, she doesn't even know how to please her man. How boring," Ji Yunqing said in a harsh tone full of disdain.
He waved the whip in the air. This time, he didn't really hit Wen Yu.
He liked to toy with Wen Yu like this, with the whip falling either for real or just a feint, making people not know whether it would land on them the next time.
The fear of the unknown would amplify the body's perception to the maximum.
It was a double torture for both the body and the mind.
His gaze fell on Wen Yu's hands. Every time he heard the familiar sound of the whip cutting through the air, he could clearly see her hands gripping the edge of the tea table tightening involuntarily.
The more she reacted like this, the more fun he found it. He enjoyed the game so much that he treated the person in front of him like a lifeless doll, manipulating her at will.
"Why is Lady Pei crying so bitterly? Your Highness has always been a man who cherishes beautiful women. Since Lady Pei is afraid of pain, Your Highness will spare you today. Let's play a different game," Ji Yunqing said in an extremely magnanimous tone. As if to prove that he meant what he said, he casually threw the short whip on the ground.
Although the whipping stopped, his actions didn't.
The man seemed to be thinking of something interesting next. He let out a short laugh in a good mood, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Is Lady Pei very scared? Don't worry. Your Highness has invited an acquaintance of Lady Pei here to discuss business. With an acquaintance by your side, Lady Pei should be able to relax a lot, right?"
The man's clothes were still fairly neat. When he leaned against Wen Yu from behind, he inevitably rubbed against the wounds left by the short whip.
Wen Yu gasped in pain and couldn't help but whimper.
"Your Highness, Young Master Pei the Second has arrived," a maid's voice came from outside the room.
Although Wen Yu had already learned from the bullet comments what was going to happen next, she still pretended not to know. She turned around pleadingly and said, "No, Your Highness, don't do this!"
"Lady Pei is so shy. It's really cute," Ji Yunqing said, feeling extremely happy when he heard her plea. He smiled gently and said considerately, "Do you see the screen in the middle? He won't be able to see who is in Your Highness's arms. As long as Lady Pei can hold herself back, the person in this room today will just be a dancing girl in Your Highness's mansion."
Hearing this, Wen Yu trembled. She tried to struggle, but the man held her tightly in his arms.
"Be a good girl, Lady Pei. Come to Your Highness. If you're obedient, Your Highness won't make things difficult for you. But if you dare to move recklessly again, Your Highness will order the screen to be removed. How about that?" Ji Yunqing coaxed her in a low voice while pinching her waist hard.
Wen Yu calmed down. Her face showed a pitiful look of helpless compromise. "Please show mercy, Your Highness."
The beauty's submission greatly satisfied Ji Yunqing's strong desire to conquer.
He sat back in his seat with Wen Yu in his arms and lovingly stroked her black hair that only reached his chest.
"Let the guest in," he said loudly to the people outside the room.
When the wooden door of the tea room was pushed open, a gentle breeze slipped in through the crack. Pei Shen strode in and finally stopped on the other side of the screen.
He looked up at the silhouette projected on the screen. His body seemed to stiffen for a moment, as if in surprise or with some other emotion, but he quickly covered it up. He said loudly, "Your humble subject pays respects to His Highness the Third Prince. Congratulations on Your Highness's birthday."
"Young Master Pei the Second, there's no need for such formalities. Sit down," Ji Yunqing said in a good mood, his tone much gentler. After the man sat down, he pretended to be apologetic and said, "The dancing girls in the mansion are so clingy. They always pester Your Highness for fun. Since a beauty asks, Your Highness naturally can't refuse. That's why I set up this screen. Young Master Pei won't mind, will you?"
Although this was exactly as expected, when Pei Shen actually heard what Ji Yunqing said, his heart tightened.
He tried hard to suppress the pain in his heart, then smiled and said, "Your humble subject wouldn't dare."
Ji Yunqing let out a hearty laugh, while the person in his arms let out a muffled groan in a low voice.
Wen Yu controlled the sound just right. It was loud enough for Pei Shen to hear but also made the two men think that she was trying extremely hard to restrain herself.
However, this restraint meant completely different things to the two men.
The more Wen Yu tried to suppress herself but still lost control, the more satisfied Ji Yunqing felt.
But to Pei Shen, the image of Wen Yu's pleading look when she saw him in the corridor involuntarily flashed through his mind.
He secretly tightened his fists by his side.
"Young Master Pei the Second isn't married yet, right?" Ji Yunqing asked in a confident tone. Then he continued, "There are many noble ladies from various families in the mansion today. Young Master Pei might as well take a look."
Saying this, Ji Yunqing changed the subject, "However, Young Master Pei should keep his eyes open. When choosing a wife, character is the most important. A woman like the one in Your Highness's arms is not a good match."
"However, she has her own charm in some aspects. She can be taken as a concubine," he added.
"What do you think, Young Master Pei? Does Your Highness make sense?"
Although Wen Yu knew that their words were deliberately said to her, she still felt a surge of anger.
These devils in human skin had degraded her to be worse than a pig or a dog.
But this wasn't the time to lose her temper. No matter how humiliating it was, she had to bear it.
Only in this way could she find a chance for revenge.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. A woman like this would surely be promiscuous if married into a family. But Your Highness is brave, resourceful, and charming. Only by Your Highness's side can she be well - behaved," Pei Shen said, forcing himself to use a joking tone while tightly clenching his fists.
The tea room wasn't big, and the window was only opened a small crack. The smell inside couldn't dissipate at all.
Pei Shen forced himself not to breathe lightly, trying to avoid smelling the familiar fragrance, but it was all in vain.
Through the screen, Wen Yu clearly saw Pei Shen's body becoming stiffer. She felt like laughing.
Pei Shen, when you arranged this wonderful show, did you ever expect that you would be so restless today?
