Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.

Chapter 58 She kept snuggling into his arms...

"You think you can get away with this by playing the victim?!" Pei Dongzhou thought this was probably another of Shen Shuyi's tricks.

If he lets her lead him by the nose every time, wouldn't that only fuel her arrogance?
We must not let her succeed every time.

Shen Shuyi felt that her life could end at any moment. All she wanted was to live, so why was it so difficult?
Where's the system? She's almost killed by the male lead, isn't the system helping her at all?
The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt. At first, she just sobbed softly, but then she thought that she was about to die, so what was wrong with crying and mourning her untimely death?
If no one else mourns for her, can't she mourn for herself?

In the end, she simply hugged her pillow and cried loudly, completely unaware that Pei Dongzhou had already moved the dagger away.

Pei Dongzhou had little experience with women, let alone a complicated woman like Shen Shuyi.

One moment this woman was seducing him like a vixen, the next she was crying so loudly that anyone who didn't know better would think he was bullying her.

Although he did give her a little fright, how could he have imagined that she was so easily startled?

Seeing that she had been crying for fifteen minutes without stopping, he snapped impatiently, "Can you please stop crying?!"

Do all women love to cry, or is she the only one who is particularly good at crying?

Pei Dongzhou's reprimand only made Shen Shuyi more upset.

Seeing that Shen Shuyi showed no signs of stopping, Pei Dongzhou had no choice but to try to coax her, "Don't cry, I won't kill you."

Shen Shuyi's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked at Pei Dongzhou and found him sitting on the edge of the bed, the dagger that had been placed against her throat earlier already removed.

She asked cautiously, "You... Your Excellency really won't kill me?"

Pei Dongzhou sneered upon hearing this. Even at a time like this, she still remembered to put on an act; he had never seen such a hypocritical woman.

"Your Excellency just said you wouldn't kill me, is that true?" Shen Shuyi was very worried because she didn't get a definite answer from Pei Dongzhou.

Pei Dongzhou, fearing she would cry again, said calmly, "As long as you don't cry, I won't touch you. But if you dare to cry again, I will..."

"Then I won't cry anymore," Shen Shuyi quickly interrupted Pei Dongzhou's threat.

She should stay away from this killer in the future, otherwise, if he tries to kill her again, she won't be able to escape every time.

At that moment, she made up her mind that, except when she was doing missions, she would stay far away from Prince Pei from now on.

You know, nothing is more important than her life.

She obediently hid at the innermost part of the bed, not daring to get too close to Pei Dongzhou. She didn't want to be alone with him in the room either, so she tried to suggest, "Bai Xiang Lou has many beautiful and understanding girls. Perhaps you could hire them to serve you, Your Excellency?"

She really didn't want to be with Prince Pei.

But as soon as she spoke, Prince Pei got back into bed, snatched the blanket from her, and ordered her, "Stay away from me!"

He should stay away from her and leave the room, but if he left, wouldn't that be tantamount to losing to her again? Besides, this is Bai Xiang Lou; if some blind man insists she serve him, he can't just let her be abused by other men for nothing…

Pei Dongzhou's words were exactly what Shen Shuyi wanted to hear.

There was only one quilt on the bed, which was taken away by that bastard surnamed Pei. It's a bit cold on this autumn night.

However, compared to her own life, Shen Shuyi felt that being cold for one night was no big deal.

She discreetly hid at the innermost part of the bed and remained silent, hoping that Pei Dongzhou would forget she even existed. At first, she was worried that Pei Dongzhou would harm her, but perhaps due to exhaustion, she curled up and quickly fell asleep.

Pei Xizhou, who was eavesdropping outside the room, couldn't help but come over to listen after hearing the woman crying. At first, he thought that Pei Shizi was too rude and made Haitang cry.

He only realized what was going on when he overheard the conversation between the two people inside.

It turns out that Prince Pei wanted to kill Haitang, which is why Haitang was so frightened that she cried.

The strangest thing was that he felt Haitang's voice was very familiar. But Haitang was a girl from Baixianglou, so wasn't it normal for him to feel familiar with her?
He waited for a long time, but there was still no movement inside. Only then did he realize that Prince Pei had not actually slept with Haitang.

He straightened up, turned his head, and found that the other person had also been eavesdropping on the sounds inside, just like him.

He noticed, and the man smiled slightly: "It's really strange that Prince Pei can actually coax Haitang."

He suddenly became interested in the crabapple blossoms again!
Pei Xizhou also found it strange: "Yes, it's really strange, like the sun rising in the west. I didn't expect Haitang to be so capable."

The man's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Haitang does indeed have her unique qualities. How could Prince Pei easily let go of someone he wanted to kill? But Haitang cried, and Prince Pei easily spared her.

Moreover, judging from Pei Shizi's helpless coaxing tone, he was most likely just trying to scare Haitang.

interesting.

Had he known this would happen, he would have snatched Haitang first, which would have allowed him to test Prince Pei's abilities. But then again, there's always next time; he still has opportunities. This Haitang girl does have some value…

Inside the room, Pei Dongzhou lay with his back to Shen Shuyi.

He couldn't fall asleep at all, while the woman lying on the inside, who had been crying her heart out, looked like she was about to run out of tears. But after a while, he could hear her soft breathing.

She was clearly terrified, which is why she cried so much. Then, lying next to him, the man who wanted to kill her, she was still able to fall asleep. Just how thick-skinned is she?

Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi was completely asleep. She usually slept very well, but this time, without a blanket, she unconsciously burrowed into warmer spots when she felt cold.

Pei Dongzhou had never been able to sleep. He was used to living alone, and there had never been a woman in his bed.

Ever since Shen Shuyi climbed into his bed last time, he ordered his men to change all the bedding the very next day.

But at this moment, he was sleeping in the same bed with a young and beautiful girl. Even after she fell asleep, she still had a strong presence that he couldn't ignore.

What he couldn't stand the most was that she kept snuggling into his arms.

As soon as he pushed her away, she quickly clung to him again, like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to shake off.

He didn't want to share a blanket with her at all; they weren't in a relationship where they could sleep under the same blanket.

Finally, he threw the blanket to Shen Shuyi, leaving himself uncovered. Sure enough, once she had the blanket, she stopped trying to get close to him.

He stared at the veiled woman for a long while, then, as if possessed, he reached out and lifted the veil, revealing Shen Shuyi's sleeping face. The woman, seemingly lost in a dream, had a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, a satisfied smile that was utterly irritating…
