Quick Travel: When a delicate beauty becomes cannon fodder

Chapter 400 Peasant Girl (53)

The sky gradually darkened and the light in the room changed. When she first heard the bell, she thought it was an illusion.

When she saw her feet that were crossing each other and swaying slightly as they stood up, she sat up and opened the book in her hands before closing it. She saw Pei Yan also put down what he was doing and stood up.

Pei Yan walked towards her, pressing the tip of his tongue against the slightly pointed canine teeth on one side, suppressing the irritability in his heart, but the pressure on his body became heavier and heavier.

His tall figure almost completely enveloped her in his shadow, which was very oppressive. She stepped back slightly and raised her head to look at him. The distance was too close.

His unique breath filled her nose, occupying her space forcefully. Her eyes fell on the delicate joints in his throat. The traces she left last night had not disappeared. In a daze, the breath seemed to be still intertwined, and the picture changed. Self-awareness comes to mind.

The bells were still ringing in my ears, as if they were coming in circles from a distance. My fingertips unconsciously clasped the pages of the book in my hand, and I was inexplicably nervous, "Are you leaving?"

Her head was still a little hot, and she was about to stand up. A moderate hand pressed on her shoulder, stopping her movement, but the soft blanket covering her legs slipped down from the side.

She didn't bother to pick it up and looked up at him doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

"My father has passed away and I want to go to the palace. You don't have to wait for me tonight."

Ruan Ruan didn't speak. She looked at him and hesitated to speak. The expression on her face was very vivid, and she looked like she didn't know how to comfort him. She really felt that he would be sad.

"Condolences."

She said these two words carefully, but Pei Yan couldn't hold back. A chuckle escaped his lips, and his fingers pinched her cheek. It was so cute.

His deep eyes were also full of joyful smiles. The desire to destroy him was suppressed by him, and he squeezed it a few more times before letting go.

Ruan Ruan didn't resist and let him do what he did, maybe because he thought he was sad.

He changed the subject without explaining, "I'll have someone supervise you for dinner."

The door of the study room was not closed, and she did not intend to stay here anymore after Pei Yan left. She picked up the fallen blanket, shook it, and put it back on the lounge chair, but she took the script back to the bedroom.

She sat in front of the mirror, and the place where he pinched her cheeks left cinnabar, which overlapped with the natural blush, and was gorgeous and intense on her plain white skin.

There is a purple jade hairpin inserted in the bun, and the exposed part can be seen that the jade is delicate and oily. Thinking of the purple in the bed tent, it seems to be his preference.

The sound of the death knell had stopped when she fell asleep. She was still reading her storybook while lying on the bed, yawning sleepily, and tears of reason welling up in the corners of her eyes.This incident did not have any impact on her. After all, she had never even seen the emperor's face, let alone any sad emotions about it.

In a daze, someone took away what she was holding, and then the coolness penetrated through the seams of the quilt, and a slightly cold body pressed against her. Her eyelids moved, as if she was about to wake up.But in the end he still didn't open his eyes.

She had long been accustomed to the feeling of being entangled by a ferocious beast in the past few days. She didn't wake up even while her limbs were being restrained. When she opened her eyes, she was the only one. It was only when she touched the warm spot on her side that she knew he had come back. .

Ruan Ruan rarely saw him again. He was required to be present during coffins, wakes and funerals. He was also busy with enthronement matters and had almost no free time.

There were more and more invitations from noble ladies, but she still didn't agree to any of them.
