Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 457 - 453: Yangyang, Are You Still Mad at Me?

Chapter 457: Chapter 453: Yangyang, Are You Still Mad at Me?

The night was thick, and the fragmented shadows of the moon hid among the layered branches, mottled yet gentle.

Strange tides almost engulfed Shen Hua.

It was something she had never experienced before, unfamiliar, soul-stirring, and irresistibly tear-inducing.

Emotions surged, after their lips and teeth tangled.

After wiping her down, Cui Yun went to the washroom. The bite marks on her neck were deep, inflicted at her moments of uncontrollable urges.

He washed his hands methodically. It seemed remnants of tightness and softness lingered on them.

The girl was too delicate, and even more sensitive.

He was afraid of hurting her, only tentatively probing shallowly, but at even that, the girl’s body arched up, her eyes rimmed red, fluttering beside Cui Yun’s ear, both dodgy and panicked. A soft, pleading whisper.

——Don’t do this.

She was so small, a single finger could barely endure.

How could she bear what lay ahead...

Cui Yun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his desires clamoring.

His voice unintentionally hoarse, not knowing who exactly he was punishing.

When he emerged from the washroom, damp all over, it was an hour later.

The girl curled up in one spot, completely asleep. Just as his hand touched her slender waist, as if startled, even in her sleep, she couldn’t help but shiver.

Seeing her reaction made Cui Yun uncomfortable again.

————

The daylight completely devoured the night’s darkness.

During breakfast, Shen Hua chose a seat as far away from Cui Yun as possible.

However.

Cui Yun served her food deliberately, and Shen Hua accepted it all.

He reached for the napkin, about to wipe her mouth familiarly.

His fingers were distinct, long, and powerful. They were the most beautiful hands Shen Hua had ever seen.

Shen Hua couldn’t help but remember the awkward incident, and uncomfortably slapped his hand away. His lax smile in response was provocatively annoying.

"There’s no need to stare blankly."

Cui Yun met the girl’s bristled eyes: "It seems you like it."

Shen Hua had a stomach full of curses churning but she didn’t voice them. Liu Chu and Liu Huan then arrived.

She had to hold it in.

Their luggage had been packed early, and Liu Chu had also prepared many specialties from Hui State. The couple sent them off from the door.

The carriage was waiting outside.

Liu Chu repeatedly instructed them, reluctantly seeing them off into the carriage.

The roads of Hui State were not smooth, resembling the rugged, remote forests. Even though Ji Qing tried to make the ride smoother, it was bumpy all the way.

Shen Hua glanced at Cui Yun with her peripheral vision, only to see his gaze lightly resting on her.

She suddenly confronted him with a frown, unreasonably chiding him.

"What are you looking at?"

The girl: "What, can’t you forget by not looking a few times?"

Cui Yun calmly said: "Why sit so far, come here."

Shen Hua fiddled with her skirt, but said: "I watched a play before."

"I forgot the name, but I remember, in the play’s script, the young master orders the girl around, even dictating how many grains of rice she eats and how many cups of water she drinks a day. Do you know what happened to the girl in the end?"

Shen Hua clearly didn’t care how Cui Yun would respond. Without waiting for him to think, she answered herself.

"That girl used to be accommodating, and really gentle. But over time, she couldn’t bear it a...

Cui Yun listened to her babbling and then commented: "You’ve really seen a lot of dramas."

He seemingly commented casually: "It appears that the young actor in Muchun Garden has truly caught your eye."

He suddenly critiqued: "This play about ’implying without stating outright’ is indeed well said."

Shen Hua: !!!

She was so angry she wanted to go up and kick him.

However, Cui Yun’s tone finally lost its playful edge and became much more solemn.

"After returning to Fengzhou, do not leave the city. Hengzhou will be in great chaos."

After all, Hengzhou is relatively close to Fengzhou.

"Write to me if anything happens."

"In a few days, your brother will also be too busy to get away. Once Hengzhou descends into chaos, I fear the flames may spread to Fengzhou City. Magistrate Wang is a good official, but his roots are not deep enough to protect the citizens of Fengzhou from any harm. Safety comes first. Remember, once you receive a message from Anzhuang, it’s best not to leave the house. My men, your brother’s men, will certainly protect you thoroughly."

Shen Hua listened to him.

"After everything is over, I’ll come to pick you up, but who knows how long that will be. Nor can we predict the outcome. It’s an uncertain battle. Once I leave, victory or defeat, life or death, are all unknown."

"Yangyang, are you still angry with me?"

Shen Hua pursed her lips.

She thought that Cui Yun was playing the victim.

Ji Teng endured hardships, your brother was outstanding, Cui Yun was strategically superior.

Duke Fu’s Mansion, Marquis Yangling Mansion.

Cui Yun controlled the entire Ministry of Justice. Your brother and General Jin controlled the military.

Not just these, but there were also many supporters stirring things up from behind.

Such as...

Prince Gong.

Otherwise, Cui Yun wouldn’t have told her not to get too close to Ji Huo.

There was also Princely Heir Xuan Chen from Yongchang Marquis Mansion. His official rank was also not low.

Those noble families that were suppressed by Emperor He must have been eagerly waiting for that day.

This is only what Shen Hua knew.

But there were also numerous cunning and shrewd officials who had long been entrenched in the court supporting the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

The Imperial Guard controlled by Emperor He was not to be underestimated either.

But Shen Hua thought, this expedition of Cui Yun would surely be victorious.

Sooner or later, the reign of Da Qi would be overthrown by these people.

Indeed, she had no need to be angry with Cui Yun.

She...

Although it was hard..., it was also comforting, deeply indulgent.

Shen Hua thought that even the upcoming marital consummation didn’t seem so scary.

She was just annoyed that last night, she was manipulated by him, completely defenseless, with no clothes to cover her. He looked, touched, kissed. Yet his clothes remained perfectly smooth, seemingly untouched.

Exiting the small territory of Hui State happened quickly.

Ying Yi was waiting just outside the suburb, leading several horses behind him.

Among them, one with a glossy coat was particularly wild and difficult to tame, and it was Cui Yun’s mount.

"Yah!"

The carriage slowly stopped.

One heading south, the other west.

It was time to part ways.

Cui Yun was pressed for time; he had to catch up with Jin Zhong. There was no time to escort Shen Hua any further.

But he didn’t get out of the carriage. Instead, he stood and moved next to her. He was tall, avoiding contact with the carriage’s canopy, now bending over.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

The girl remained silent. Yet, she clutched his robe.

Shen Hua looked up at him, her hand moving from the hem to grasp his arm.

Her lips moved, then stopped,

Finally, the girl stood up. She hid the bite mark on his neck with his collar again and again. Then very quietly, very softly, "That mark on the wall, it wasn’t made by hand. You still don’t quite understand."
