Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 115 - 97

Xie YanYu was unaware of the hidden details, but the fact that the two had not consummated their marriage was undeniable. If not for it being an inappropriate moment to question, he would definitely demand to know the reason.

Inside the room, Xie Wanqing was unaware that the private words between mother and daughter had been overheard. She was very carefully trying to appease her mother.

Mrs. Zheng was heartbroken over her lovely daughter and wanted to say more, but as she raised her eyes, she saw two handsome young men walking in side by side.

Pei Yuqing had a graceful stature, with clear and handsome features, his dark eyes brushed over Xie Wanqing as he respectfully greeted Mrs. Zheng.

Indeed, a flawless appearance, but unfortunately only good-looking.

Mrs. Zheng cursed inwardly but remained cordial and invited him to sit with a smile, before saying, "Son-in-law, how have you been lately? You seem rather thin, too much so."

The implication in her words made Xie Wanqing anxiously tug at her mother’s sleeve, "Mother..."

Though annoyed at her daughter’s protection of him, Mrs. Zheng realized that the situation was what it was, and with no other choice, she spoke in a hinting tone, "If there is something wrong with your health, don’t hide the illness but seek treatment."

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes and responded with a simple ’yes.’

The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

Mrs. Zheng sighed softly and gestured for them to leave.

Xie YanYu personally escorted his sister to the door. Just as Xie Wanqing was about to get into the carriage, he called her back.

He lifted his hand to pat his sister’s shoulder, implying, "Wanwan, if you are not happy, tell your brother, don’t let yourself suffer, understand?"

"Of course," Xie Wanqing felt warmth in her heart, looked up and smiled at him, "As long as brother doesn’t mind me bothering him."

Xie YanYu gently tapped her forehead with his finger, saying softly, "Feel free to trouble me, your issues are something I will take care of for your whole life."

Watching this heartfelt sibling interaction from the side, Pei Yuqing narrowed his eyes slightly but remained silent.

After bidding farewell to Xie YanYu, once they were both in the carriage and the wheels started turning slowly, before Xie Wanqing even had a chance to sit properly, there was suddenly another person beside her.

Immediately, her wrist was gripped tightly.

Pei Yuqing held her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. When he saw her looking over, he smiled slightly.

His eyes were long and narrow, and when he smiled, his brows were filled with tender affection, looking exceptionally handsome.

Xie Wanqing blinked at him, and then suddenly grabbed his collar and leaned in to kiss his jaw.

This was the first time she took the initiative since their marriage. Pei Yuqing’s breath caught, instinctively raising his hand to grip her waist and pull her back.

"Wanwan..." He looked down at the girl in his arms, wanting to explain his misunderstanding briefly, but as he opened his mouth, he didn’t know where to start.

Resting in his arms, Xie Wanqing heard his chest thumping rapidly and frowned slightly, "Your heart is beating so fast."

She spoke, intending to break free from his embrace, but the hand around her waist was uncharacteristically firm, unwilling to let go.

"Don’t mind it."

Pei Yuqing raised her face with one hand, lowered his eyes, and kissed her.

The warm lips moved from her temple to her cheek and finally pressed against her lips, slowly rubbing.

The pleasant scent filled her nose; Xie Wanqing hesitated whether to push him away, but her cheeks were lightly pinched by him, making her lips involuntarily pout slightly.

The next moment, her waist was gripped tightly.

By the time she realized, she was already being kissed against the wall of the carriage by the man.

The gentle kiss instantly turned fierce and urgent.

Startled, Xie Wanqing quickly reached out to push him away.

It was of no use.

After just two pushes, her wrist was grabbed and pinned against the carriage wall.

Pei Yuqing kissed her almost with a hint of force.

Her protests were easily blocked by him, leaving only short whimpers echoing in the spacious carriage.

The man’s breath in front gradually became heavier; Xie Wanqing could even clearly hear his swallowing.

Her cheeks blushed with embarrassment as she desperately tried to evade his lips, but the hand on her chin remained steady, preventing her from turning away.

... How did things end up like this?

They had kissed before, but it had always been brief, and he had never been as out of control as now.

Unable to escape or dodge, Xie Wanqing wondered if she’d be kissed into unconsciousness by him when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Princely Heir, the Holy Emperor urgently summons you to the palace for an audience." Pei Er’s voice sounded from outside.

Pei Yuqing paused his movements, slightly opening his tightly closed eyes, looking down at the girl in his arms.

Xie Wanqing, breathless from the kiss, finally seized the chance to catch her breath, leaned her head to the side, and panted rapidly.

Her lips were slightly swollen, the corners of her eyes red, her lashes glistening with physiological tears.

Pei Yuqing watched her intently for a while, his throat moving, and his fingertips brushed over her delicate cheek, unconsciously caressing it.

After a moment without the master appearing, Pei Er spoke again, repeating the earlier words.

Pei Yuqing remained oblivious, his kiss landing once more, causing Xie Wanqing’s lashes to flutter slightly. Instinctively, she tried to avoid him but heard his low chuckle, "What are you afraid of?"

His voice was hoarse, carried with desire.

Feeling both shy and angry, Xie Wanqing glared up at him, "You..."

Pei Yuqing reached out to cover her eyes, lowering his head to carefully kiss away the moisture that overflowed from her lips, before tidying her hair a bit, calming his surging desire slightly. He sighed lightly, holding her shoulders and pushing her away a bit.

"Let me enter the palace first, deal with any issues when I return, alright?"

What could Xie Wanqing say? She nodded haphazardly, her mind nearly turned to mush by this point.

If not for her having clearly heard his conversation with the Eldest Princess earlier, she would have doubted if she had misunderstood him.

Actually, was he not unable?

Or was it that he had the will but not the power?

Xie Wanqing, with only this limited experience, didn’t know the state of a man unable to act, leaving her with chaotic guesses.

However, Pei Yuqing, without the Mind Reading Technique, was unaware of what she imagined him to be, so he could calmly pat the top of the young girl’s head, whispering a few soothing words, before lifting the carriage curtain and stepping out.

He was summoned by an eunuch from the palace midway and the carriage wheels turned slowly after his departure. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Relieved, Xie Wanqing pulled out a dressing mirror to look at herself.

Thankfully, her lips were only slightly reddened, not too obvious.

As long as no one looked closely, they wouldn’t know what had transpired in the carriage.

Thinking this, her embarrassment and anger rose again. How could things be like this, so reckless inside the carriage?

If not for the palace’s calls, there was no telling if he would have stopped...

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips and poured herself a cup of tea. Just as she lifted the teacup, the carriage suddenly halted once more.

This time it stopped very abruptly, causing the teacup in her hand to tip and spill hot tea onto the back of her hand, leaving a red mark.

Frowning slightly, she was about to inquire when the carriage curtain was pulled open from outside, allowing a gust of cold wind to rush in.

Xie Wanqing instinctively tightened her clothing, looked up, and saw a familiar silhouette appear before her.
