Ever since Peng Yingchun disappeared and returned, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She no longer loved to tease him like before. Instead, she stuck to him all the time, asking about his well-being, and was extremely concerned about him.
The biggest change was that she would often stare at him.
Every time he felt her burning gaze, he would feel very uncomfortable. Just like now, she was still looking at him with that unbearable gaze.
There were a few times when he really wanted to tell her not to look, but he held it back because she had so many backers now. Other than Shangguan Jue, all the men and women in Spring in Jiangnan, even Wu Yong's heart was biased towards her.
He couldn't just be angry at her now, or else his days would get worse by the day.
However, no matter how long he endured, there would come a day when he would explode, just like now.
"Have you seen enough?" He asked loudly in a bad tone.
Peng Yingchun blinked and smiled nonchalantly.""Every time I take a look at you, I find many sides of you that I have never seen before. I think…I will never be able to see enough of you.”
He seemed to have a bad temper, but he would only roar a few times at most. After that, he would calm down, so it was not scary for him to be angry at all.
Although he ran a brothel, he still ran it very carefully. He did not have the smell of alcohol or makeup at all. As long as he was immersed in his work, the light he emitted was incomparably dazzling, and it would even make people dumbfounded for a moment.
In the past, she always played with him, but now that she had changed this bad habit, she realized that it was actually not bad to get along with him calmly.
Heavens! How disgusting! Shangguan Lin instantly felt goosebumps all over the ground.
She must be crazy to say such disgusting words.
"I'm begging you. Get out quickly and stop bothering me.”As long as she was by his side, he could not help but mind her existence.
"Husband, I will be quiet and not disturb you.”She did not want to leave.
"But if you're by my side, you'll disturb me and make me unable to concentrate, so I beg you to stay away from me!”
Hearing Shangguan Lin's words, Peng Yingchun was not angry, but instead, she smiled very happily.
He was starting to care about her existence now. This was a good sign. At least he no longer treated her as an invisible person.
"Alright! I'll go out now and not disturb you anymore.”Since she had achieved her goal, Peng Yingchun no longer insisted on staying.
As she walked from his side to the door, she kept looking back at his lowered head.
Suddenly, she stopped and ran towards Shangguan Lin.
The sound of running made Shangguan Lin raise his head in confusion. He turned his head to see what was going on, but he saw Peng Yingchun running towards him.
In a flash, Peng Yingchun's lips covered Shangguan Lin's.
Shangguan Lin was extremely shocked, his eyes wide open as he stared at her, not understanding why she would suddenly kiss him.
After the sneak attack succeeded, she only smiled shyly and turned around to leave without saying a word.
Looking at her departing figure, Shangguan Lin stroked his lips in a daze.
He didn't hate this kind of kiss. Instead, he was a little nostalgic for the soft touch on his lips that belonged to her, as well as her temperature.
Night fell, and Jiangnan was brightly lit in spring.
Shangguan Lin sat in front of his desk, but his attention was not on the account book spread out on the table. Instead, he looked at the door from time to time, waiting for Peng Yingchun, who came every day, to come and find him.
After the time she usually appeared, she still did not appear, making him unable to forget her absence today.
Initially, he hated her presence, but ever since that kiss that day, he had unknowingly changed. When he realized it, he could no longer control his own will.
He couldn't wait for her, but he couldn't stop waiting for her.
"Master, bad news!" Wu Yong ran into the door in a panic.
After waiting for a long time, he did not see that elegant figure. Shangguan Lin was slightly disappointed.
"What's wrong?" Although his heart was filled with disappointment, he still pulled himself together and asked the panic-stricken Wu Yong.
Usually, he was a calm and composed person. For him to be so abnormal today, something big must have happened.
" It's Madam..." Wu Yong tried to catch his breath.
He had sprinted all the way from the hall in front of him, so it was inevitable that his aura was a little messy.
"Yingchun! What happened to her?" Shangguan Lin asked worriedly.
When he heard that the bad person Wu Yong mentioned was Peng Yingchun, he did not hide his worries.
Since when did he care about Peng Yingchun? Shangguan Lin didn't expect that the words he blurted out were words of concern, and even he himself was shocked.
"Furen is being held up by a few young masters in the reception hall in front!”
He was supposed to protect Peng Yingchun, but the other party's background wasn't small. He couldn't decide whether to chase them out or turn a blind eye. After all, he didn't know whether business or her was more important in Shangguan Lin's heart.
Hearing Wu Yong's words, Shangguan Lin rushed out of the door reflexively and ran straight to the reception hall in front of him.
What was she doing there? Shangguan Lin was angry at her for not knowing her limits.
No matter what, she was still his wife, the young madam of the Shangguan family. How could she go there and show her face?
Unknowingly, Shangguan Lin had already acknowledged and accepted Peng Yingchun as his wife.
As soon as Shangguan Lin stepped into the reception hall, he saw Peng Yingchun being held in the arms of a man and trapped on his legs. She struggled to get away, but she couldn't.
"You bastard, let go of me!”Peng Yingchun was so angry that she forgot to maintain her temperament.
She had already told him that she was a brothel madame and would not entertain guests anymore, but he hugged her without saying anything and even let her sit on his lap.
She had been a professional brothel keeper for so long, but she had never met such a rude and lecherous person. She was angry and thought about how to teach him a lesson.
"This madam is really stubborn!"
"It's good that it's choking. This is more delicious!" He didn't care about Peng Yingchun's rudeness at all.
After listening to their conversation, Peng Yingchun decided to show off.
Just as she was about to reward him with two "black wheels", Shangguan Lin suddenly appeared with a gloomy expression.
"Let her go!" He roared angrily.
Damn it! She was his wife, and he had never even touched her. How dare he hug her!
Shangguan Lin wished he could chop off the hand that was wrapped around Peng Yingchun's waist.
"No!" That person didn't even take Shangguan Lin seriously.
He had finally found such a stunning beauty. No matter what, he had to take her for himself. It was impossible for him to let her go!
"I told you to let her go!" Shangguan Lin's patience was already on the verge of running out.
"Call your boss out, this Young Master will buy this madam!”He would not let such a fairy shuttle between men. He would hide her in the deep garden and hide her in a golden house.
Shangguan Lin's expression became even more vicious. If a sharp gaze could turn into a deadly weapon, he would have long become the target of the arrows.
"She's not selling!" He would never do something as embarrassing as selling his wife.
Peng Yingchun was originally very nervous that Shangguan Lin would sell her out. After all, he didn't seem to like her very much. Now that she heard his answer, she seemed to have taken a peace of mind and could wait for him to save her.
"Not selling? Do you know who I am?" There was nothing he could not get.
"No matter who you are, I will never give her to you.”Shangguan Lin stared at him, not daring to be careless, waiting for the opportunity to save Peng Yingchun.
Wu Yong and a few burly men were ready to go, waiting for Shangguan Lin's order to teach these blind men a lesson.
"Since you're unwilling to part with it, I can only snatch it.”Just like that, the two sides clashed.
Peng Yingchun was in his hands, so Shangguan Lin couldn't go all out and fight as he pleased.
"Go!" The man gave the order, still holding Peng Yingchun and sitting still, full of confidence.
Seeing that this was an opportunity she couldn't miss, Peng Yingchun threw two punches with all her might, hitting the man's eyes.
He covered his eyes with his hands in pain and had no time to care about Peng Yingchun. She quickly jumped down and hid behind Shangguan Lin.
Seeing that Peng Yingchun had successfully escaped the clutches of the pervert, everyone had nothing to worry about.
The two sides immediately exchanged blows. Not long after, they were forced to retreat. In the end, they were captured by Wu Yong. The outcome was already decided.
"How do you plan to deal with them?"
"Kill them!" Towards these people, Shangguan Lin did not intend to let them off easily.
If they dared to take advantage of Peng Yingchun, they would have to pay a high price.
"Murder? That's not good!" In ancient times, one had to pay with their life for killing someone. She did not want to be a widow so early.
"I think we should give them ten strokes each as a lesson and throw them out of Spring Brook. If they dare to come to our door again, we'll beat them half to death and feed them to the dogs in the backyard.”
Although they were a little lecherous, it was not a crime that deserved death. However, she still kicked the pervert who had been hugging her to vent her hatred.
" You…" Shangguan Lin was annoyed that Peng Yingchun was biased towards them. "You want to plead for them?"
"I'm not pleading for them. I'm thinking for us. You don't want me to be a widow at such a young age, do you?”Seeing that he was angry, she quickly hugged his right arm and acted coquettishly.
But how could Shangguan Lin's anger be so easily appeased? He still had a lot of debts to settle with her!
"Come back to my room with me. I have something to tell you.”He grabbed her hand to prevent her from escaping.
Seeing his unhappy expression, Peng Yingchun knew that he was definitely not going to say anything good, so she wanted to lie low for a while.
"I still have things to do. If you have anything to say, say it now or talk about it after a while.”
"You have time to listen to me!" Shangguan Lin picked her up by the waist and walked towards their room without allowing her to resist.
She was so daring. If he didn't punish her properly, he wouldn't be able to scare her even if he had nine lives.
Although Shangguan Lin's face was ashen and his anger was about to erupt, this was the first time he was willing to hug her. Peng Yingchun was intoxicated by his strong arms and completely forgot about her own safety.
"You're already my wife, yet you still go out and show your face in public. Do you know what you're doing? Fortunately, I'm here today. What would you do if I wasn't here?”After putting Peng Yingchun down, Shangguan Lin started to fly into a rage, bombarding her fiercely.
Seeing his angry look, she did not feel afraid at all. Instead, she felt very warm and smiled.
The fact that he was so angry meant that he had her in his heart. Otherwise, he would not care about her life or death! Most importantly, he treated her as his wife.
Such a breakthrough was already very rare.
"You're still laughing! Are you reflecting on yourself?" Seeing her indifferent look, he could not suppress his anger.
"Do you like me?" She wanted to know how much weight she held in his heart.
"What did you say?" Her straightforward question made Shangguan Lin's heart tighten. It was rare for his face to turn slightly red.
Peng Yingchun couldn't help but want to tease him when she saw his face turn red.
"What does blushing mean? Liked it? Or do you not like it?"
Shangguan Lin put on a stiff face and said stiffly,""Don't change the topic on purpose!"
Nonsense! If she didn't think of a way to change the topic, he would nag her non-stop.
Since she had already grasped his weakness, she naturally had to make good use of it.
"Actually, I didn't want to marry you at all. Half of the reason why we were sent to a pile was because I brought it upon myself, and the other half was because of a coincidence.”
Hearing Peng Yingchun's words, Shangguan Lin's heart suddenly tightened. He had forgotten how much he had rejected this farce of a marriage. Now, he was very annoyed that she did not want to marry him and was even more worried that she would leave him.
"I ran away not because you were bad, but because I felt that I could not marry you. Most importantly, I thought that I had no feelings for you, and I did not like you at all.”
Her words made Shangguan Lin feel unusually sad.
"You don't like me?" He thought that she kissed him because she liked him a little. It seemed that he was just thinking too much.
"Is it important whether I like you or not? You don't like me either, right?" she asked with a smile.
He didn't say that he didn't like her! Shangguan Lin refuted her words in his heart.
Peng Yingchun was already quite used to his silence, so she didn't mind.
"After I escaped, I met an old master. He told me a lot of things. Then, I calmed down and thought about my journey. I realized that our encounter could be said to be an ill-fated fate because there was no relationship between us.
However, thinking about it carefully, whether it's an ill-fated fate or a good fate, it's fate that we can be together. Since we're already husband and wife, we have to try to accept each other. It's not like in the past where we can't say a good word when we meet. We're either shouting or messing around.
In order to change the way we interacted with each other, I started to observe you. I wanted to get to know you better and not make you angry like before. The more I got to know you, the more I couldn't help but fall in love with you because I saw your merits.”
Although they could not fall in love at first sight, it was a good thing that they might become in-laws.
"You like me?" Shangguan Lin really couldn't believe that this was true.
He didn't treat her well and always yelled at her. He thought she would hate him to death. He didn't expect her to like him.
"Yes, I am!" Peng Yingchun admitted without hesitation. "I don't know if you like me at all now. If you don't, I hope you can try to understand me and find something that can make you like me. Are you willing?"
Shangguan Lin didn't expect her to ask him this question and was stunned for a moment, unable to answer.
"I knew you wouldn't be willing!" Peng Yingchun's smile faded, and her eyes gradually reddened. "For someone like me who likes to be mischievous and prank others, it's normal for no one to like me. Moreover, I've pricked you so many times, so it's normal for you to not like me.”
In order to force him to say what was on his mind, she used her tears.
"Just divorce me, so that you don't have to see me every day with only pain!”Crystal clear tears fell from Peng Yingchun's eyes.
She wiped away her tears and sobbed as she fell onto the bed. Her appearance made one feel pity for her.
"Stop crying!" He did not want to see her cry. "I don't know if I like you or not, but I promise that I no longer hate you.”
He knew that his heart was no longer the same. If he hated her as much as he used to, he would not be so angry because she was in another man's arms, and he would not feel sorry for her tears.
"Then will you like me?" She pursued relentlessly.
"I don't know if I'll like you, but I promise that I'll try to like you. I won't reject you like I did in the past.”
After hearing Shangguan Lin's assurance, Peng Yingchun felt that his heart had long wavered. He must have liked her, but he just didn't know it.
Perhaps he had fallen in love with her!
"Alright, I'll wait for you until the day you say you like me!”She didn't want to force him anymore and decided to give him more time to think about his heart.
She was already very satisfied to get such an answer.
"Speak! Do you like me?" Lying in Shangguan Lin's arms, Peng Yingchun smiled and asked.
She had already been eaten clean by him, but he refused to say anything about his feelings. After waiting for too long, she had lost all her patience and was determined to force him out today.
"Is it important whether I like you or not?”he teased.
"Of course it's important!" She just wanted to hear it.
Actually, Shangguan Lin already had an answer to the question of whether he liked her or not, but he pretended to ponder over her question, causing Peng Yingchun to widen her eyes and wait for his answer.
Seeing her look of anticipation, Shangguan Lin decided to tease her.
"I don't want to say it! Can I not say it?"
"You don't want to tell me?" Peng Yingchun's voice immediately raised an octave.
She tried to calm herself down and let out a sweet smile.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you.”
Shangguan Lin felt that she was thinking of a plan again, because she was not so easy to talk to or get rid of. She must be up to something again.
"Tomorrow, I'll go tell everyone how beautiful their high and mighty big boss is when she dresses up as a woman. In order to steal some women, she even lowered her status to be a maid and even eloped with a beauty.”
Hearing that she was going to make public the fact that he was cross-dressing, Shangguan Lin couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"Don't say it!" If this news got out, where would he put his face?
She knew that this was his weakness. Peng Yingchun felt that she was really smart.
" I don't have to say it, but…I can't hear what I want to hear. I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally spill the beans because I'm heartbroken…"
"Alright, I'll tell you!" With evidence in other people's hands, Shangguan Lin had no choice. " Actually, I don't like you..." In order to get back at him, Shangguan Lin beat around the bush and didn't say what was on his mind.
When she heard that he didn't like her, Peng Yingchun's expectant little face immediately fell. Her mouth also pouted, as if a storm was about to come.
"Because liking you is not enough to express my feelings for you. I love you.”
Peng Yingchun was moved to tears when she received an answer that was even more than liking him.
This person was really making fun of her like this.
"Isn't it good to hear me say that I love you? Otherwise, why are you crying again?"
"I'm crying tears of joy!"
"You!" He hugged her tightly in his arms lovingly. "You really like to cry!"
"So what if you like to cry? At least I used my tears to trick a good husband!”This was something she was most proud of.
"That's right! If you hadn't lied to me and Second Brother with your tears, I wouldn't have married you!”
After Guan Lin mentioned the past, Peng Yingchun suddenly remembered that she had once cried in front of Shangguan Jue about his unkindness and injustice.
Oh no! Where was she going to give birth to a baby that matched her age?
Now that he had come to "be a human", he did not know if it was too late.#
