Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Wedding Day

“May I?” The words seemed to have some sort of after tones that swirled in Qin Yunuan's ears.

Leng Changxi's eyes were as bright as the stars. His fingertips were as hot as fire. Qin Yunuan was feeling like floating between the stars and the fire as if she had lost control of herself. She was sinking indefinitely in Leng Changxi's tender embracement. It was like a misty and beautiful dream that made people unwilling to wake up.

“Hmm.” Qin Yunuan muttered dreamily.

Leng Changxi shuddered as if he had been pardoned, and he removed his shirt quickly with one hand.

Leng Changxi was extremely patient. He didn't ask for it anxiously. Instead, he kissed Qin Yunuan's neck, face and ruddy cute little earlobes more and more affectionately. He licked repeatedly, and Qin Yunuan trembled again and again. The atmosphere was fiery, and the breaths were romantic.

Leng Changxi couldn't wait. He held Qin Yunuan across his chest with his big hands and walked directly towards the bed. He pressed her hard on the bed and lifted the other hand to release the bed curtain. He knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted the woman in front of him. He wanted her heart, her body, her everything. He extremely desired the post-marriage life between them. She would give birth to their child, no, children.

Suddenly, thinking of the children, Leng Changxi slowed down. He stared at Qin Yunuan, who was underneath him, for a long time.

The long-lasting passion made Qin Yunuan's breath short, but Leng Changxi tried hard to calm himself down. Right, the children. He couldn't make Qin Yunuan pregnant in this situation. Their children should be formed on the night of the most magnificent wedding in the Royal City in the past decade. It should be a wonderful wedding night envied by everyone.

“What's wrong?” Qin Yunuan gently leaned on Leng Changxi's arm. She thought that Leng Changxi was annoyed by trivial things in the office again, or something big was going to happen. For a young man who just turned twenty, the responsibility on Leng Changxi was too great.

“It's nothing,” Leng Changxi gently leaned down and kissed Qin Yunuan's eyes, “Just, not yet, Yunuan. I love you. I really do. I am giving you the most solemn wedding. Give me yourself completely by then, is that fine?”

This was the first time Leng Changxi said “I love you” to Qin Yunuan. Although Leng Changxi's actions in the past had already proven that firmly, Qin Yunuan's heart still felt utterly warm when she heard him said those words so tenderly.

“Yes.” Qin Yunuan hugged Leng Changxi's neck as she nodded and whispered, “I love you too.”

When Maner came in again, the two had already put on their clothes. Although nothing had really happened between the two, Maner and Ting Xue were both looking at them suspiciously.

Qin Yunuan smiled shyly. She just added tea for Leng Changxi while sending nurse Liao to find Baochuan. In fact, after knowing what Leng Changxi was capable of, Baochuan had been shouting all day that he wanted to practice Kung Fu and learn military strategies and tactics in order to protect his sister.

After a while, Qin Baochuan ran in with neat clothing. It was hot outside, so Qin Baochuan was sweaty after he ran.

“Look at you, why the rush?” Qin Yunuan smiled and pulled Qin Baochuan to herself. Then she took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat for Qin Baochuan. However, Qin Baochuan's attention was all on Leng Changxi.

The little boy Qin Baochuan bowed down to Leng Changxi seriously with full sincerity and frankness, and said loudly, “General Leng, please accept me as a disciple.”

Leng Changxi had already put the mask on now. His deep and bright eyes seemed extraordinarily shiny under the black mask. Qin Yunuan knew Qin Baochuan's admiration for Leng Changxi, but she didn't expect that Qin Baochuan would do this.

Leng Changxi smiled casually and said, “Get up first. Tell me, what do you want to learn?”

Qin Baochuan thought about it seriously and then looked at Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan who was smiling by his side. Then he said firmly, “Baochuan wants to learn swordsmanship. And when he learns well, he can be as powerful as General Leng and protect his sister from being bullied.”

Leng Changxi only glanced at Qin Yunuan, “No one could bully her with my protection. Learn something else.”

Qin Baochuan was unconvinced and said, “But Baochuan wants to learn swordsmanship. Please fulfill my wish, general Leng.” After he said that, he knelt to the ground and saluted like a hero.

“Learning swordsmanship is not something that can be done overnight. Besides, your body is not the best for learning martial arts. However, you are smart and intelligent. It is better for you to be a literati. You could use your pen to defeat millions of soldiers.”

What Leng Changxi said was the truth. Qin Zhi himself was originally a literati. The past three generations of the Qin family had nothing to do with martial arts at all. Besides, Qin Baochuan was weak since young. Even if Qin Yunuan trained him with cold bath, it only enhanced his resistance and made him less likely to get ill. However, Qin Baochuan's intelligence and cleverness were obvious to all. Even the teacher of the White Horse Academy, who often lent books to Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan, said that Qin Baochuan was quite talented with his own point of view from the reading.

“But Baochuan just wants to learn swordsmanship to protect his sister. Baochuan has read those books already but felt that they aren't really useful. It would be better to have good martial art skills.” Qin Baochuan insisted.

Qin Yunuan frowned slightly. She didn't know since when did Qin Baochuan start having such thoughts. Qin Baochuan's changes made her a little worried. Maybe it was because of the recent events that happened to Qin Yunuan that made Qin Baochuan want to protect his sister. However, it didn't suit Qin Baochuan indeed.

Leng Changxi just smiled and pulled a page of paper from the desk. He handed it to Qin Baochuan and said, “Try your best and see how far you can throw this paper.”

Although Qin Baochuan didn't know what he meant, he still did it. However, no matter how hard he tried, the light piece of paper just fell a step away, swaying back and forth, and swayed back again.

Leng Changxi kept silent and looked at Qin Baochuan for a long time before saying, “Now roll the paper into a ball and see how far you can throw it.”

Qin Baochuan did so and easily threw the small paper ball out of the house.

Looking at the white paper ball rolling into the yard, Qin Baochuan frowned. He seemed to understand something but didn't understand it thoroughly.

“This is the power of knowledge,” Leng Changxi said after a long while, “If you only have brute strength, it's like throwing a piece of paper. You have the power, but you don't know how to make use of it. However, if you have sufficient vision and knowledge, you know the shortcuts to success. Maybe books can't give you immediate feedback, but they can change you from the inside out. As long as you want, you can become extremely powerful because of knowledge.”

Qin Baochuan listened thoughtfully, and Leng Changxi added, “The great scholar Mr. Shangguan Yi was already sixty-three years old when he guarded the city of Mai on his own and protected the people in the city. He knew nothing about martial arts, and he was physically weak. All he had was the arrogance and pride of a literati. The so-called literati and military men seem to be clearly differentiated, but the logic behind is the same.”

Qin Baochuan's eyes lit up, and he finally understood. He arched his hands towards Leng Changxi and said, “Baochuan understands.”

Leng Changxi nodded slightly but heard Qin Baochuan loudly shouting again, “Thank you, brother-in-law.” After that, the little boy ran out of the room, satisfied.

“I'm now incapable of disciplining him anymore.” Qin Yunuan was ashamed, as she lowered her head and glanced at Leng Changxi.

Leng Changxi was quite calm. He touched the edge of his mask and said, “Don't worry, I think it's good. He's a child that can be taught.” No one knew whether the remark was for understanding the reason just now or Baochuan calling him “brother-in-law”.

Leng Changxi sat for a while longer. Thinking of earning the trust of his to-be brother-in-law so easily, he smiled more and more brightly. At dusk, Leng Changxi could stay no longer. As they separated, he kissed Qin Yunuan's cheeks again and again, bit Qin Yunuan's tiny earlobes and licked back and forth. He whispered, “Wait for me. Three days later, you're my legal wife.”

“Hmm.” Qin Yunuan lowered her head and whispered back. Even though her voice was small, Leng Changxi was very satisfied.

Three days later, early in the morning, the chaperones who had been invited to the mansion the previous night entered one by one. Qin Yunuan got up early and was cleaned and groomed by a large group of festively dressed chaperones and servant girls. They washed her face and put makeup on for her.

The wedding gown had been delivered to Qin Yunuan's house on the day before. It was said to be the treasure of Yuman Embroidery Shop. The long skirt was adorned with the most brilliant East Qin pearls, with red gemstones as the buttons on the collar. Together with the gold thread embroidered pattern on the belt, the whole gown didn't only fit snugly, but also set off Qin Yunuan's slim waist and slender arms. It made Qin Yunuan look more feminine and charming than usual. After Qin Yunuan was done, both Maner and Ting Xue opened their mouths wide. Qin Yunuan was actually so stunning after heavy makeup.

“Third Miss is so pretty. General Leng will definitely like it as he sees it.”

“Really, how can you call him General Leng? You need to call him master soon.”

“Okay, you two,” Qin Yunuan's shyness was apparent, “You talk too much.”

Everything was ready. Just as she was preparing to get on the marriage sedan, nurse Liao rushed in, looking panicked. She spoke against Qin Yunuan's ears, “Third Miss, grand Miss is suddenly back.”
