The Obsessive Crown Prince Can't Let Me Go-Chapter 151 - 149: Can’t Let Lu Ying Benefit for Nothing

Lu Ying took a seat: "Literal meaning."

"You—"

Shen Yinning was fuming with anger, but considering he did save her after all, she held back her temper.

Besides, she had cursed Lu Ying as a dog before; they were even in that regard.

She performed a perfunctory salute: "The hour is late, this humble wife will take her leave first." freёnovelkiss-com

Lu Ying showed no reaction, allowing her to go downstairs and exit.

Shen Yinning stood at the inn door, troubled as she watched the increasingly heavy snow falling from the sky.

She had come in a carriage of the Xue Family, planning to have Xue Ling and the others take her back, so she sent her own carriage back to the manor first, not expecting to fall out with Xue Ling, leaving her without a carriage to return to Lotus Flower Lane.

The snow was so heavy, the ground was already half a foot deep, and there were no carriages for hire in the night market.

There were donkey carts, but they were dirty and shabby, filled with men and women.

She was unwilling to take a donkey cart.

After some consideration, Shen Yinning had no choice but to return to the inn, hoping for an upper room, only to find them all occupied.

With no other choice, she went back to the top-floor room.

Lu Ying seemed to have anticipated her return, leisurely arranging the chessboard.

Shen Yinning reached out, her slender white jade fingers pressing on a black stone, her tone softened: "Your Highness, may this humble wife reside here for the night?"

Lu Ying didn’t even lift his head: "I am a man with a wife; spending the night in the same room with Lady Shen doesn’t seem appropriate."

Shen Yinning: "..."

Half an hour ago, she had just said:

— Your Highness has already severed ties with this humble wife, so why shield her with an umbrella? Your Highness is a man with a wife, showing affection everywhere, which doesn’t seem appropriate.

Now he returned her words, clearly holding a grudge.

He forced her to drink the sterility soup, yet she didn’t make a fuss, but he was petty over a mere remark.

In the light of the candles, Shen Yinning glared at Lu Ying.

The man in his dark robe and golden hairpin, his features refined and deep, the cool and beautiful lines of his profile creating a play of light and shadow, his long, elegant hands toying with a few chess pieces, very attractive.

Leisurely, as if casting bait, waiting for someone willing to bite.

Shen Yinning knew he was waiting for her to bow first.

He couldn’t bear to part with her body.

In truth, reconciling with Lu Ying was more beneficial than not for Shen Yinning.

She gazed at Lu Ying for a long, long time, then lifted a charming, bright smile, her jade finger on the chessboard subtly moving forward until it ambiguously covered Lu Ying’s hand, teasingly brushing his knuckles and wrist.

She whispered softly: "Past matters were this humble wife’s fault; won’t Your Highness allow this humble wife to stay here? If Your Highness fears rumors damaging your reputation, you can rest assured, tonight’s matter, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, no third person will know. Besides, Your Highness manages so many affairs, indulging once in a while is nothing..."

As the girl spoke, her soft fingertips teasingly slipped into Lu Ying’s sleeve.

Lu Ying clasped her hand.

The girl’s hand was soft and boneless, her skin like snow, softer than the silk of the palace.

He could envelop it with one palm.

He effortlessly pulled Shen Yinning into his embrace, the pomegranate red ribbons and sleeves of the girl’s dress swept the black and white chess pieces off the small Buddha table to the floor, the scent-laden breeze brushed against the candlestick, and the flickering light illuminated their close faces in fleeting brightness and shadow.

Lu Ying lowered his eyes at her, his voice deep: "You’re seducing me."

Shen Yinning caressed his cheek: "This humble wife has been seducing Your Highness since three years ago."

"Do you remember your status?"

Shen Yinning knew too well his wicked interests between the sheets, and she also understood what he wanted to hear.

She leaned in close to Lu Ying’s ear: "This humble wife doesn’t want to go home to accompany my husband, Your Highness, I beg you to have mercy on this humble wife."

Soft fingertips slid down to Lu Ying’s Adam’s apple, causing a tingling heat to spread.

Lu Ying’s skin grew hot all over, tugged at his collar, suddenly lifting Shen Yinning to stride into the bath attached to the room.

The bath was only half the size of a room, elegantly and luxuriously decorated, with a semicircular marble bath at its center, and the most wondrous feature was the large window beside the bath, made of a single piece of transparent glass, allowing one to see the bustling street and the falling snow while bathing.

Steam rose from the bath.

Shen Yinning leaned against the edge of the bath, her arms around Lu Ying’s neck.

"Brother Lu Ying..."

"Don’t be afraid..."

Lu Ying kissed her cheek and lips, a fine sweat appearing on his forehead.

After the initial pain, Shen Yinning’s small face flushed with an intoxicating red.

Lu Ying lowered his head to kiss her earlobe: "Zhaozhao... Shen Zhaozhao..."

"Your Highness only wishes to forget past events, not knowing how deeply you hurt this humble wife... You treated me as a plaything for amusement, forcing even such vicious things as sterilization medicine on me, I cried for a long time after I went back..."

Lu Ying lifted her to the glass window, using the snowy light to see her face.

The little vixen’s lashes were long, dotted with tiny sparkling droplets, unclear if from steam or tears, the dusky red smeared at the corners of her eyes resembling rouge, creating a shockingly fragile beauty under the snow’s glow.

As if she plucked at his heartstrings, he lifted her chin, kissed away her tears at the corner of her eye: "That medicine was just ordinary tonic, I was scaring you."

Shen Yinning paused for a moment.

After their dispute that night, when she had returned to Lotus Flower Lane and calmed down, she had actually already suspected the medicine was fake.

Although Lu Ying was not exactly an honorable gentleman in front of her, he would never stoop to such vile acts as giving a woman sterilization medicine.

However...

She couldn’t let Lu Ying off easily, needing to gain something from it.
