Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 159: Not the Same

Chapter 159: Not the Same

Such a carefree laugh, in Jing Wan’s eyes, was just an ear-piercing mockery. This time, what reddened wasn’t just her face. Seemingly her entire body all began boiling too. Jing Wan restrained her restless claws, telling herself, the other party was a wangye, his status honorable, one can’t afford to hit, but this bastard was truly too much, his insolent laughter persisting without end.

Jing Wan turned around, facing him, her two legs separately kneeling on both sides of Li Hong Yuan’s thigh, her hands propped on his shoulder. Compared to before, her position was naturally elevated a little. The portion that was previously submerged under the water was exposed into the air. Li Hong Yuan, getting flashed, naturally restrained his laughter, just the corner of his mouth remained hooked, and his hands didn’t move either, even nonchalantly leaning back, with his two arms spread out and propped up on the edge of the bathtub, having a ‘welcome to take liberties with him and taste however you please’ stance.

Under his serene teasing gaze, Jing Wan still weakened her stance. Towards this kind of abnormally thick-skinned hungry wolf, who still hasn’t eaten his fill, taking liberties with him, wasn’t that just offering oneself to him to take advantage of? Jing Wan retracted her hands and withdrew, her body submerging into the waters again. The waters directly covered up to her chin.

Li Hong Yuan originally was still waiting for Jing Wan to ‘settle the score’ with him, but in the end, she was still embarrassed. Getting his clothes stripped by her, that kind of thing, was already a miraculous feat in itself. Li Hong Yuan felt rather regretful, but his Jiao Jiao will inevitably throw herself into his arms one day. No need to rush, there were plenty of opportunities in the future. Reaching out, he had her pulled over, but sensing Jing Wan’s resistance, “Won’t mess with you anymore, just let me hug you.” His wife was ultimately still young. Even if she didn’t lose her virginity, he still didn’t dare go overboard, injuring her, and if he were to stir himself up again, the one to suffer will also just be him.

Jing Wan very skeptically looked to him, but in the end, she didn’t ‘argue’ with him. If one doesn’t go along with him, then by the time he does something, the one to ‘suffer’ will still be her. Following along his strength, Jing Wan cuddled into his embrace, her back leaning on his chest, her head also leaning back on his shoulder, relaxing her body that still hasn’t completely recovered its strength.

Li Hong Yuan scooped up water and sprinkled it on Jing Wan’s shoulder, “Just now was still wondering whether or not Jiao Jiao was going to use that previous method to make me shut up again.” He softly sighed, still carrying three part regret.

Sealing with a kiss, you sure thought beautifully! Jing Wan, thinking that he can’t see, rolled her eyes.

“Even daring to roll your eyes at this prince, our Jiao Jiao’s guts are indeed big.”

Getting caught, Jing Wan, while feeling uneasy, at the same time, was also somewhat speechless. Dear ancestor, what are you continuously staring at her for? “Presumably, wangye saw wrong.”

“Fine, it is whatever Jiao Jiao says it is. However, didn’t we agree, to call me Ah Yuan, how come it’s wangye again now?”

Jing Wan smiled, “How can this subject directly address wangye’s name?” Anything can be called out on the ‘bed’, that was just being in the mood. If one still uses this address after the matter is over with, then that was just ‘rebelling against convention’.

Li Hong Yuan raised his eyebrow, but didn’t continue clinging onto this problem either. When this one starts acting stubborn, even nine bulls can’t pull her back.

“Wangye, miss………” Gong mama’s voice just happened to sound from the other side of the screen.

“What’s the matter?” Li Hong Yuan faintly spoke.

“Replying to wangye, miss’s daily meals have always been very punctual, so this while, must be hungry. This servant has prepared some desserts, wanting to let miss first pad the stomach, asking for wangye to permit.” Gong mama, as usual, neither quickly nor slowly spoke.

Li Hong Yuan rubbed Jing Wan’s stomach, “It was this prince that was inconsiderate.” He landed a kiss on Jing Wan’s forehead, “Jiao Jiao, first eat a little, then let your mama serve you in bathing. When you’re done, we’ll go use the meal together.” With that said, he had Jing Wan moved aside, getting up and stepping out of the tub. He effortlessly grabbed an outer robe to the side, putting it on, casually folding it, then fastening on the wide belt. His movements carried a bit of nonchalant and carefreeness. Dismissing everything else aside, just looking at him now, this man possessed a deadly attractiveness. Li Hong Yuan had his hair flung behind him, and as he was preparing to leave, he saw Jing Wan leaning against the edge of the bathtub staring at him. That little look in her eyes was purely admiration and praise. Alright, for this appearance of his to be able to make Wan Wan regard it highly was also pretty good. He went forward, scrapping the tip of her nose, “What, this is getting captivated by this prince?”

Jing Wan raised her head and looked to him, suddenly smiling, “Wangye is handsome to no end, loved by all who see, flowers blooming in your presence^[1].”

Li Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow. This was harboring complaints and needing to think of a way to tease him back? “Whether others like or not, doesn’t matter, having Jiao Jiao’s love is enough.” This was nothing, just this level, still want to tease him? Li Hong Yuan calmly walked out on barefoot. Actually, letting him have Jing Wan washed clean from head to toe wasn’t undoable. Compared to Jing Wan getting seen thoroughly by others, he was quite willing to do it himself. However, he has never served anyone before, so afraid will end up spending quite some time, and might not even do it well. And letting Jing Wan go hungry from waiting, he would also heartache, so he could only give up.

Jing Wan was left speechless. She, this little newbie, really shouldn’t go challenging the other party who has long maxed out their skill level.

Gong mama carried in the desserts, going around the screen and seeing the marks on Jing Wan’s shoulder that were different from her skin color. Even if this long wasn’t the first time seeing, she still was somewhat unsettled inside. “Miss.” Gong mama had the tray placed onto the table next to the bathtub, “Have a taste to see if these desserts are to your liking, if not, this servant will go exchange them.”

Jing Wan, because felt uncomfortable, withdrew her body, and didn’t notice Gong mama’s ‘completely unfazed even if on Jin Qinwang’s territory’ tone of voice. Because Gong mama has always been someone upright and proper, she really was scared her inappropriate actions would make her unhappy, her two hands hugging her chest, wanting to cover up the marks on her body. However, it was everywhere on her body, so how could she cover it all up, instead appearing even more conspicuous, “Mama………”

Gong mama reached out and began washing Jing Wan’s hair, “This isn’t miss’s fault, miss doesn’t need to mind. Just, towards men, one mustn’t pamper and mustn’t indulge, else they’ll become used to it and become unsatisfied with the small gains^[2]. That’s why, at times when miss needs to refuse, miss should refuse. If you let him have his way with everything, the one to suffer will only be yourself.” Originally a body of skin that was comparable to frost and snow, yet now, it definitely won’t return to normal for several days. That living Enma, in the past, didn’t want to let miss know, so still had some misgivings, but this time, he didn’t hold back at all.

Jing Wan speechlessly choked. Mama, this style of yours was seemingly a little off too! However, Jing Wan, at this time, chose to silently shut her mouth, thinking to herself, mama, the other party is a wangye, the consequences of refusing him will be very severe. Moreover, your miss, I, is also one that can’t hold out, sinking into the oblivion in spite of oneself.

That’s why, this thing called lust, truly cause a lot of trouble for one.

Gong mama, after helping her wash her hair, even loosened her muscles as well.

After Jing Wan finished cleaning up and dried her hair, she finally noticed, the things inside here were very complete. Clothes were also prepared, brand new, and moreover very fitting, just like it was tailored specifically for her. The material was of the highest quality, the workmanship exquisite, the embroidery top-notch, even having some original little designs. In her eyes, the haute coutures^[3] of her past life was probably nothing more than this.

Even if people of the same age group, in terms of physique and build, all had differences. Moreover, she worked out all year round, so her body was more sturdy than other girls in quite a few areas. Although she didn’t go as far as to have chunks of bulging muscles, the minute measurements of her body were still different. These clothes were definitely made according to her accurate measurements.

Originally still thinking that the other things here might have been used before by some unknown person, she had a bit of pet peeve inside, not wanting to use, but under careful examination, they were seemingly all new. Moreover, judging from the placement, it should be after moving them in, no one has touched them again. This level of consideration……….Jing Wan furrowed her brows.

Gong mama had Jing Wan’s expression taken to heart, but didn’t say anything, “Miss, first sit down, this servant will style your hair for you.”

Jing Wan nodded.

Jing Wan heard the sound of footsteps, very light. No need to think to know who it was. And sure enough, when that person appeared, he was orderly from head to toe, not a thread out of place. Just, what he wore wasn’t his commonly seen black brocade, but rather moonlight silk. That’s right, blue moonlight silk, the surface seeming like flowing moonlight, appearing extremely luxurious. Even the embroidery threads used on there was also thread of the same effect, and completely didn’t ruin the entirety’s quality.

Because of this set of clothes, it softened the malevolent aura on him. In addition to him being in a good mood to begin with, it increasingly brought out the best in him. His every movement all manifest his superb bearing and cultivation, a noble gentleman through and through. At the same time, that reserved loftiness also added for him a ‘great power under the heavens all grasped in one’s palm’ kind of confidence. And because of this confidence, he was calm and easy-going, and even carefree.

Li Hong Yuan casually took the comb from Gong mama’s hand, combing Jing Wan’s hair for her.

Jing Wan wanted to say something, but seemingly thought of something, hesitating for a moment, and ultimately didn’t open her mouth.

While having Jing Wan’s hair combed smooth little by little, he couldn’t help but think of his past life. During that period of time they were together, regardless whether his injuries have recovered or not, it was her that combed his hair every day, very diligently, very attentively, and also very gently.

Seeing Li Hong Yuan in a daze, somewhat lost in thought, “Wangye……..” Gong mama softly reminded.

Li Hong Yuan had the comb returned to her, sitting down to one side.

Eunuch Mu brought him a cup of tea.

And at this time, the screen was already moved away, the bathtub also lifted out, the floor and such areas also tidied clean, and the bed outside naturally didn’t need to be mentioned.

Li Hong Yuan leisurely drank the tea, watching Gong mama comb Jing Wan’s hair. However Gong mama’s movements were swift, finishing in a short amount of time. After hesitating a moment, she opened one of the accessory boxes on the dressing table. Inside was an entire set of light pink pearl head ornaments. Gong mama’s eyes slightly lit up, no need to look at the rest, just this set, very much matching this outfit on miss.

Jing Wan, seeing Gong mama not holding back in the least, was once again left speechless. This isn’t you, quickly wake up!

Jing Wan noticed, her mama’s complaint towards Jin Qinwang seemingly was very big, but couldn’t do anything to the other party, thus just used this kind of method to have the other party’s things all scraped over and piled on her as a way of retaliating the other party.

Then thinking again to what Gong mama said previously, her giving Jin Qinwang attitude was rightfully so, and this while, letting him bleed was also legitimately reasonable? Why make it seem like Jin Qinwang owes her?

However, those things of hers from before, she temporarily didn’t know where they went, so she can’t refuse these things either.

Jing Wan stood up and consciously spun around in a circle in front of Li Hong Yuan, “Am I pretty?” No matter what, it was still the other party’s things, should let him admire and appreciate, no? And also let him find a sense of fulfillment on her.

Li Hong Yuan nodded. His Jiao Jiao truly was beautiful. Getting up, he pulled over Jing Wan’s hand, “Let’s go eat.”

Jing Wan was indeed hungry, and seeing the appetizing dishes on the table where the fruits were previously placed, her stomach was even more hungry.

There were only eight dishes and two soups. For a qinwang status, this really wasn’t much. However, every single one all appeared to be of the highest quality.

Li Hong Yuan waved his hand, dismissing the servant girls that were preparing to serve, personally filling half a bowl of soup for Jing Wan.

Things that he shouldn’t be doing, he repeatedly did again and again, so by now, Jing Wan has already calmed down quite a bit. However, proper behavior was based on reciprocity, so she also filled half a bowl for Li Hong Yuan.

“Yo, this is two lovebirds intimately having a meal together?” A teasing and frivolous voice.

Hearing this familiar voice, Jing Wan violently turned her head, “Yun Niang?!” She really was very surprised.

[1] ????????? – I’m unsure if this is an idiom or just a common saying, but it’s basically a common phrase used to describe someone really popular or attractive. I took a bit of liberties with the translation, but a direct translation would be ‘people see, people love, flowers see, flowers bloom’.

[2] ???? – An alternate translation for this idiom would be ‘obtain an inch, want a foot’, so asking for more when you get a little.

[3] The term used here is ?? which is short for ?????? (Haute couture). In chinese, it actually loosely translates to high-end custom-made clothing.

T/N: I’ll have you know that the banter between LHY and his great aunt is on par with his ‘fights’ with Le Cheng Emperor, except Yun Niang has better comebacks than Le Cheng Emperor. is also a long chapter.
