Chapter 4 The Beloved Farm Girl (4)
But she still had to meet people, especially the most intense gaze in the mansion—Shen Fengwang's burning gaze upon her.
Bai Ruofu lowered her head: "Your Highness..."
“You…you don’t need to be afraid. I jumped into the river to save you, but if you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
Shen Fengwang spoke very clearly, and my heart began to race.
He was afraid of hearing a bad answer that would cause him to lose the woman who had stirred his heart the moment they first met.
Bai Ruofu's slender fingers tightened slightly. She knew clearly what had happened, and even more clearly that if she didn't want to become a nun, she had to submit to Shen Fengwang.
Bai Ruofu's mind flashed with Gu Yunye's handsome face, but she quickly made a decision.
Gu Yunye is a good person, but she can no longer drag him down. She knows that even if the prince takes her in his arms, Gu Yunye will still want her, but he will be criticized by the world.
and……
She felt mostly gratitude towards Gu Yunye.
She figured that since she had decided to get married and Gu Yunye treated her well, she should be with him.
Bai Ruofu leaned into Shen Fengwang's arms and said, "Young Master... I'm sorry for troubling you..."
She wasn't sure if Shen Fengwang would always love her, but she knew he was currently infatuated with her. She wanted to get as much benefit as possible while his feelings for her were at their peak.
Bai Ruofu felt that she was different from the women of this era—
For her, her life was more important than her reputation. She wanted to live a good life and didn't think she was wrong. But she never told anyone this, not even her own mother.
The woman's sudden approach aroused a burning desire in Shen Fengwang's lower abdomen. He embraced Bai Ruofu tightly, unable to control his emotions any longer, and kissed her pale pink lips fiercely.
"Well!"
Bai Ruofu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her soft, boneless hands pushed against Shen Fengwang's chest, but this action seemed more like a coy refusal.
Shen Fengwang kissed her even more fiercely.
Bai Ruofu's small hands, clinging to Shen Fengwang's chest, slowly hooked around his neck, like a dodder vine clinging to a tree, delicate and pitiful.
The man's fingertips ignited a fire at her waist, his taut strings almost reaching a frenzy, but he still managed to restrain himself.
Looking at the woman's swollen red lips, which he had ravaged, Shen Fengwang felt a pang of heartache and said, "Afu, I was too reckless..."
His sudden apology surprised Bai Ruofu.
The disparity in their status and position was too great; she even thought that in Shen Fengwang's heart, she was nothing more than a plaything for others to amuse themselves.
"Afu wouldn't dare..."
"Don't talk about daring or not. You rest now, I'll go and report to Mother. Don't worry, in my heart, you are not a concubine."
Not a concubine? Could she be the legal wife?
Bai Ruofu was somewhat skeptical.
However, after this ordeal, she was quite tired, so she let the maidservant Shen Fengwang had instructed take care of her.
There were two maids who came to serve Bai Ruofu. One of them was named Yulan, who was originally a maid in this Xuesong Courtyard and was the only one among them. She was arranged by the madam and was quite pretty.
The lady originally intended for her to be Shen Fengwang's maidservant, who would later become his concubine or even his mistress, but Shen Fengwang never paid any attention to her.
Yulan was unwilling to give up, so she went to serve Shen Fengwang a bath, but Shen Fengwang grabbed her by the collar and threw her out. She had to lie in bed for three months to recover.
