Chapter 431: Intimacy, Leads

Li Hong Yuan randomly tossed aside the snowball in hand, and neither slowly nor quickly walked towards Jing Wan, “If I was being deliberate, you would’ve long started crying.” As he said this, he brushed away the scattered snow on Jing Wan. Because his hand had held snow, it was very cold, as such he didn’t touch her skin, having his gaze placed on her hand. It was slightly red. Turning his head, “Still not having your master’s warming glove brought over.”

The so called warming glove of course wasn’t the kind that had fingers. Although Jing Wan can also have it brought to this world, but that kind of glove, in the inner manor actually didn’t have any practical use.

Playing with snow can be considered within the scope of ‘serious frostbite’, so naturally can’t use the hand furnace.

Li Hong Yuan took over and carefully put it on for Jing Wan. During the process, he never once touched Jing Wan in the slightest.

Jing Wan watched Li Hong Yuan’s movement. This kind of thing long wasn’t the first time, so there was no longer that initial shock. However, every time it was like this, she still couldn’t help but feel warm inside.

Once Li Hong Yuan carefully fixed her up and tidied her cloak, Jing Wan’s gaze landed on his hand, and without even thinking, had her hand taken out from the glove, grabbing his hand. Leaning in, she stuffed it into the glove together, smiling without a word.

Li Hong Yuan was a bit helpless, “Is it not cold?” Even he felt that his hand was ice-cold, just holding Jing Wan’s hand, it felt even colder.

Jing Wan remained silent. About that, it similarly was cold, but a certain someone’s hand temperature actually was higher than hers. That’s why, it felt as if Li Hong Yuan’s hand was warm. She didn’t believe that a certain someone didn’t know this bit, else he probably would’ve struggled free as soon as she grabbed him.

Jing Wan was full of smiles, “It’s fine. This way, can warm up even faster. The two of us together.”

Li Hong Yuan slightly lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Jing Wan’s, their breaths interlocking, “En, the two of us together, forever together.”

As expected, regardless how much time passes, every time it was like this, Jing Wan’s heart would always uncontrollably race. However, this absolutely can’t be blamed on her not being composed enough, can only blame him for being too attractive. Never mind not being able to resist now, Jing Wan even believed, even in the future, very far into the future, as long as he treated her the same as ever, then even if it’s old with white hair, the teeth all falling out, she perhaps still won’t be able to resist.

Jing Wan raised her head and closed her eyes, the corner of her mouth brimming with a smile of happiness. In this moment, she even forget that they were outside, fully sensing this man’s breath, her entire heart and mind filled with just him.

As the ‘peepers’, if a moment ago it was just feeling complicated, then right now, it was just shocked to the extreme. The Jin Qinwang couple’s relationship was much better than what they’d thought. For them, especially the noblewomen of Qi Yuan, they never lacked in materialistic things. Then, a husband that treated them wholeheartedly was definitely their desire in life. Regardless what this man’s reputation was like prior to marrying, as long as they straighten themselves out after marrying, then that was just a good man.

That’s why, their view towards Li Hong Yuan was already changing in their subconscious mind.

And in the eyes of the Cang Jin emissaries, men didn’t have any abilities and didn’t have any power, because they, as women, can become the backbone. They can raise their own man, and as long as they treat them wholeheartedly, then he was just a good man. How to put it, in Cang Jin, women’s position was very high, but in essence, it actually still couldn’t compare with men. As women, after marrying, regardless whether it was taking in a husband or marrying one, if they have an affair, then it was getting criticized by thousands, but for men, even if it’s one that married into the wife’s family, if they were to have an affair with another woman, the criticism was still limited. Unless the woman was powerful and held great power in hand, otherwise it was nothing more than just divorcing. It wasn’t too possible to give that man any severe punishment.

That’s why, the ‘powerless’ Jin Qinwang was more than enough to become a good man.

The two of them stuck together for a while, as if there was no one else around, “Let’s go back, don’t catch a cold.” Li Hong Yuan softly said, even kissing the tip of Jing Wan’s nose.

“En.” Jing Wan nodded.

Li Hong Yuan held her in his arms, taking his cloak and putting it on. Afterwards, he lifted his hand, having Jing Wan embraced into the wide cloak.

“I’m not cold.” In Jin Qinwang Manor, everything was all the best. Soft feathers and whatnot were too simple to obtain.

“En, it’s me that’s worried about you being cold. In any case, it won’t be too hot, no?” Li Hong Yuan calmly said.

Alright, Jing Wan was unable to say anything.

Under the escort of the servant girls and guards, the two of them neither quickly nor slowly left Four-Way Villa.

In the outsiders’ eyes, Jin Wangfei was saying something, and for the most part, carried a smile the entire time, even turning to glance at Jin Qinwang from time to time, the affection in her eyes seemingly about to overflow. And as for Jin Qinwang, his expression although appeared cold and indifferent, but carefully observing, one would discover, regardless whether it was his movement or his gaze, it was all exceptionally soft. Although his words were few, but in reality, he was nevertheless earnestly listening, making everyone suspect whether or not the living Enma had gotten replaced.

“Jin Qinwang actually even had such a side? Really is unexpected.” A certain young lady among that party of noblewomen said in a somewhat shocked state.

If it had been long known what kind of attitude Jin Qinwang had towards his own wife, then the people that want to marry him afraid would’ve been too numerous to count.

Miss Zhong to the side glanced at her good friend. How could she not know what she was thinking. She hooked her lips into a smile, “Perhaps it’s just towards the person and not the title, perhaps Luo Wangfei just happened to match his eyes.”

That girl turned to look at her, and a moment later, broke free from her absentminded state, also smiling, “Who said it wasn’t so, perhaps it’s just her Highness’s good fortune.”

However, the people that Jin Qinwang has offended were too many. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, this good fortune probably will come to an end.

They mutually looked to one another, no longer saying anything. Everyone was all clear inside.

After returning to the manor and entering the room, Jing Wan hurriedly removed her cloak and changed her clothes.

Shortly after, just when she was about to say something to Li Hong Yuan, An Yi came to report. The matter of Shu Consort Qin’s poisoning during the evening banquet of the emperor’s birthday celebration for the most part had leads.

Speaking of which, Le Cheng Emperor had also sent people to investigate, and those people also weren’t considered useless, yet to this day, still didn’t have any news, instead letting Li Hong Yuan’s people pull ahead. In the end, it was still because certain people’s hands were too long, extending to places that they shouldn’t extend to. And reality proved that in certain arrangements, Li Hong Yuan sure enough had foresight.

“The poisoned chicken came from the Luo family’s estate?” Li Hong Yuan seemingly muttered, carrying a bit of contemplation, “For the sake of pulling Head Minister Luo down, it really was sparing no means. Since unable to be used by oneself, then it was just destroying. The idea is actually not bad.”

Just unfortunately, they chose the wrong target.
