Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 72.2

This time Jing Wan really wanted to cover her face with both hands. His looks were too much of a cheat, and when he smiled it was even more illegal. Clearly the one suffering a loss was her, yet what was going on with her anger getting increasingly weaker? She admit that she was a flower lover, but turns out she also had an invisible 'flower lover^[1]' trait. Just, in the past, she hadn't met one that looked this devilish before, so it hadn't been discovered?

Li Hong Yuan's softly laughed out loud, “Didn't know that Wan Wan actually had this kind of side too.” Right after, he suddenly coughed twice. His face, because of the high fever, appeared even more flushed, and his breathing also weakened once again.

Any additional thoughts Jing Wan had, in that instant, were also thrown aside. She reached out and felt Li Hong Yuan's forehead. And like being scalded, she subconsciously withdrew her hand. His temperature once again increased. Jing Wan was burning in anxiety, worrying not only for Li Hong Yuan's life, but also her own little life and the Luo family's fate. A dignified Wangye dying in front of her, even if it had nothing to do with her, it would still become her fault. Afterwards, the Luo family might also get implicated because of her. “Wangye, Wangye, no matter what, don't die, Wangye….” Jing Wan hurriedly re-bandaged his wounds for him, and then wiped his body, while also attempting to wake him up again.

“Wan Wan, don't leave me……” Even though he's sunken into a deep slumber once again, he was still muttering these words.

“Alright, I won't leave. As long as you are well, I'll promise you anything.”

Jing Wan should be glad that when she said those words, Li Hong Yuan's consciousness was already trapped in darkness. Otherwise, based on his personality, in the days after, he'll cling on to these words. And when the time comes, don't know how much land he will make Jing Wan cut, and how many fields he'll make her compensate.

(T/N: The metaphor here is cutting farmland and dividing fields to compensate someone for a loss.)

The shadow guards outside almost couldn't hold back the impulse to charge in. But thinking to how their master had just gotten some benefits from the beauty, he probably won't like their appearance. Better wait a little longer.

Jing Wan continuously wiped his body for him. Close to two hours later, Li Hong Yuan's body temperature finally reduced some. Even if Jing Wan normally exercises every day, she still felt her hands go limp. She sat next to Li Hong Yuan's side, watching his peaceful sleeping face, absentmindedly lost in thought. About a quarter of an hour later, her emptied mind finally started turning again. She first checked his temperature for him. It didn't increase anymore; this can also be considered a good thing.

Jing Wan hugged her knees and sat to the side, beginning to contemplate how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.

As for losing her first kiss, and getting harassed by him, she naturally won't be like the natively raised young ladies here, seeking death and giving up on life. She'll just treat it as getting bit by a dog.

She currently wasn't sure who will be the first to find them. Would it be the people from her family? White Dragon Temple's monks? Or Jin Qinwang's people? If it's the former, then she believes that they'll be willing to help her have the matter covered up. If it's the temple's monks, as long as the Head Monk, Grandmaster Liao Chen, really is like the rumors say, then there was no need to worry too. What would be troublesome would be the latter……

They only obeyed Jin Qinwang and even can be considered as Jin Qinwang's personal property, doing everything according to Jin Qinwang's interest as their highest priority. In their eyes, since she has seen their master's body, then she's already their master's person. Although she is a descendent of an imperial court minister, in reality her background wasn't considered very prominent. Then, even if she'd saved their master, letting her enter the residence to serve their master would still be an enormous honor. Not only erasing her life-saving debt, but she even needed to feel grateful. These were all a matter of course, and the only person that could intervene……Jing Wan's gaze once again fell upon Li Hong Yuan. “How will you deal with me?” He was a wangye; there was nothing he didn't have. Perhaps can let him treat it as completely not knowing who saved him? But, refusing like this, would it make him feel embarrassed, and thus fly into a rage out of humiliation?

She can chose to leave in advance, but then if Jin Qinwang ends up dying, his death will undoubtedly be thoroughly investigated. She didn't believe that she would be able to not be discovered. Perhaps, by then, she'll directly get pinned with a crime of assassinating a prince. That was just waiting for the whole clan to get executed!

The deeply contemplating Jing Wan naturally didn't know that she was entirely stressing for nothing. Any situation she thought of, all won't occur. The few people outside had already thoroughly planned everything for her.

Because the moonlight wasn't that bright, almost nothing could be seen outside. After dark, Li Hong Yuan's four shadow guards drew in closer, in case their master's condition became critical. That way they can also appear, using the excuse that they'd just happened to have found their whereabouts. They were all highly trained, so Jing Wan naturally won't be able to discover them.

Just, the results of eavesdropping were usually embarrassing oneself. They've seen their master putting on a play in front of other women before, and could make those women lose their souls to him without even touching the corner of their sleeves. They've also witnessed before what kind of miserable end those women who've attempted to approach him in private have ended up in. Just they've never seen him be so aggressively possessive towards any women before. Not allowing refusal, not allowing resistance, as well as an unprecedented tenderness, and unrestrained pampering and indulgence.

As long as you obediently stay by my side, I can indulge you in whatever you want. —no one was more clear of the implications of these words than them.

Because they didn't see any movements inside for a long time, and seeing that Miss Luo appeared somewhat drowsy, the guards eventually couldn't hold back anymore and lit the nerve calming incense. Jing Wan finally fell asleep.

The guards hurriedly rushed in to examine Li Hong Yuan's condition. Just, before they could even approach, Li Hong Yuan who'd been deeply asleep suddenly opened his eyes, with sharpness and killing intent coexisting.

The shadow guards were fearfully startled by his gaze. When they'd entered, they were very certain that their master was asleep. Then this current situation can only mean one thing, their injured master was even more on guard than usual. He is able notice movements that even an ordinary person cannot detect, and then practically react on instinct, forcing himself awake. —–perhaps, making him have this kind of reaction isn't out of fear of someone taking the opportunity to harm him, but rather, in his consciousness, he's always aware that there's another person that needs his protection at his side.

The guards quickly knelt down on one knee to beg for forgiveness.

Li Hong Yuan didn't look to them. His gaze instead landed on Jing Wan who was next to him.

“Master, it's just nerve calming medicine, and not knockout medicine.” An Jiu quickly explained in a low voice.

This was the reason why they'd only entered just now. Because they didn't dare to use knockout medicine, and nerve calming medicine, under circumstances where one was rather energized, didn't have any affect.

Li Hong Yuan didn't respond. A moment later, An Jiu finally went forward. Because An Jiu was only paying attention to Li Hong Yuan and didn't take note of Jing Wan, he almost touched her. As a result, he suffered a kick from Li Hong Yuan. Fortunately, Li Hong Yuan didn't have any strength right now, so An Jiu didn't suffer any injuries.

The expression in their eyes darkened. Perhaps, once because of their master's level of care towards an insignificant woman far exceeded his concerns for them, these subordinates that have risked their lives for him, they'd even felt wronged. But in the short few days after Miss Luo entered the capital, especially today's matter, made them gradually realize, in their master's heart, Miss Luo's importance perhaps already exceeded his own. Since that was the case, what other thoughts could they still have?

An Jiu went forward once again, naturally going around from the sides.

After checking Li Hong Yuan's pulse, An Jiu discovered, Li Hong Yuan's situation was better than he'd anticipated. He then looked over the bandaged strips of cloth. Unsure whether it was related to Miss Luo's previous handling method or not, at the time when he saw, he felt rather amazed. Miss Luo knew things that even they didn't know, so towards her being able to have the person taken care of this well, they no longer were surprised.

Then looking again to the bandage knots, he didn't know how to undo them, so he gave up the intention of opening them up to see the wound.

Towards the medicine pill An Jiu handed over, Li Hong Yuan rather didn't refuse to eat. Afterwards, he told them what time to come pick him up.

They left silently as they'd came. Afterwards, a doubt surfaced in their hearts. Previously when master was facing Miss Luo, was he actually completely awake, or in a half-conscious state? If it was the latter, then they could still somewhat accept. After all, she was someone he's been wholeheartedly thinking about for that long. Feelings were difficult to control, this was understandable. But if it was the former, then even if that was their master, they still had to say, wasn't that just a bit too shameless!

The shameless Jin Qinwang only knew to be even more shameless, don't know what was called the 'most shameless'.

Even if Jing Wan was asleep from the nerve calming medicine, her sleep wasn't very peaceful either. After hearing the noise Li Hong Yuan made, she immediately sat up. She felt vexed for a moment at how she'd fallen asleep, and quickly went to check on Li Hong Yuan situation. This time he was no longer hot, but instead felt cold.

Jing Wan turned around and poked the fire. Then, she added some firewood in, following which prepared to have Li Hong Yuan moved closer to the fire. Just, she momentarily forgot that this was a ravenous wolf, who even when its life was close to death, never forgets to eat meat. Thus, as soon as she approached him, she was once again dragged over, even getting instinctively pulled to the mouth and gnawed on twice.

Jing Wan's face instantly darkened, inwardly hating herself for not learning from her mistakes. However, this time, she learned from her experiences, and as long as he no longer used his mouth, she just let him hug her however he wanted and didn't struggle. Afterwards, she tried using the previous method to comfort him. Unfortunately, this time, even if her mouth dried from talking, a certain person still didn't budge, only locking her tighter in his embrace like guarding food.

Jing Wan eventually gave up and stopped bothering, just treat him as a natural heater. The night was still rather cold right now anyways.

In this world, since the moment she was born, Jing Wan has always slept alone. Because she wasn't a real infant, even her wet nurse was refused by her. Suddenly, being held in someone's embrace, in addition to her body already aching, she felt very uncomfortable. Being confined in his embrace, she couldn't do anything anyways, so she might as well just generously sleep, but even if she was sleepy and tired, she still had a very hard time falling asleep.

Jing Wan tried to ignore the hand at her waist as much as possible, and began counting sheep in her head. She didn't know how long had passed before she finally hazily entered her dreams.

What Jing Wan didn't know was that after she'd fallen asleep, Li Hong Yuan actually opened his eyes. Right now, he was very awake. Have to say, this was attributed to his strong physique, as well as An Jiu's medicine. All say he didn't raise useless people, so An Jiu's medical skills naturally were extremely outstanding. If let out, becoming a medical sage was not impossible.

Li Hong Yuan stroked Jing Wan's face, saying in a soft voice, “Wan Wan, starting from now, you need to start getting use to me. Don't wait until after marrying, you still stubbornly want let me hug.” This established this shameless fool's frequent night visit's foundation.

Just like last night, in the period after, Li Hong Yuan slept rather well.

When the time came for Li Hong Yuan's shadow guards to show up, this time, they made loud noises outside, naturally to avoid making it awkward for Jing Wan when they come in.

In the instant the noise sounded, Jing Wan for the most part had already awoken. Just as she was pondering how to break away from Li Hong Yuan's embrace, unexpectedly with a light flip of her body, Li Hong Yuan's arms loosened. Although she was very surprised, Jing Wan still quickly stood up. Soon after, the party with An Yi in the lead walked in holding torches.

They initially thought that Jing Wan would panic, but unexpectedly, she was very calm, even nodding to them first, “How do you intend to deal with me?”
