âYour Third Master isnât me. Your Third Master is much better than me. Your Third Master is gentle, cultured, and knows how to dote on you. I donât know how to do anything.â Jun Shiyan was jealous.
Humph, he was angry. Ever since the lass had met him, she had not said a single good word about him. She didnât try to sweet-talk him either. She just kept talking about âThird Masterâ this, âThird Masterâ that.
Since her Third Master was so nice, go back and find him! Why would she come here?!
Ling Sheng could not help but laugh out loud. She breathed in and moved closer. Her big eyes looked at him as she asked, âMr Iâm-Not-Third-Master. Do you smell anything strange?â
âI smell it.â Jun Shiyanâs eyes blazed as he met the young ladyâs eyes. He reached out to grab her shoulder and pressed her right down on the sofa. Upon hearing the young ladyâs cry of surprise, he moved closer and saw her close her eyes nervously at that moment, her long eyelashes fluttering. His Adamâs apple slid up and down as his breathing sped up.
Her temper had improved; this part of her hadnât changed indeed. She would tease him about this every time. What kind of smell? Wasnât it just a sour smell? So what if he was jealous? His wife was thinking of other men, yet she wasnât allowing him to be jealous?
Ling Sheng looked at the manâs handsome face, which was right in front of her, and his Adamâs apple, which was moving up and down. She reached out with her finger and poked it gently. Her eyes narrowed into crescents as she laughed, her breath as fragrant as orchids. âFlirt!â
Jun Shiyan only felt his blood rush to his head as he warned her. âIâm not that Third Master of yours. Donât provoke me. Otherwise, I donât care if youâve grown up or not.â
âWill you do it?â Ling Sheng closed her eyes and threw her hands open, looking weak and helpless to his whims. âIâm ready. Iâm at your mercy.â
Jun Shiyanâs eyes darkened profoundly, carrying an underlying fire. He gritted his teeth angrily. How great! She had even learned such a move! If this was the past, he would definitely punish her properly, but nowâ¦!
Ling Sheng was a little nervous. The surroundings were very quiet, and his hot breath seemed like it was going to scald her. It moved up from the bottom and stopped beside her ear.
He clearly had not done anything; he hadnât even touched her! However, that scorching breath was enough to make her body heat up and her throat grow dry.
This man is such a damn tease!
Upon seeing the young lady close her eyes and tense up out of nervousness, Jun Shiyan suddenly wanted to punish her. The moment he opened his mouth to bite her earlobe, he heard her cry out. His head exploded as he gritted his teeth. âJust you wait! Weâll settle this score in the future!â
Ling Sheng sat up. Upon seeing the manâs expression as though he wanted to eat her up, she could not help but laugh aloud arrogantly and looked at him provocatively. âIâll be waiting for you!â
Jun Shiyan just knew it. How could this tormenting and crafty little thing have changed? Look at how smug she was. If he werenât concerned about her body, he would already haveâ¦
âIâm being serious. Did Dongfang Chu stay single for the rest of her life because of you?â Ling Sheng coughed and pretended to be serious.
âNo, itâs impossible for her to remember me.â Jun Shiyan looked over with blazing eyes. He really wanted to punish this damn little woman!
âThere are always exceptions. If she remembers you, it must be because of you, and not because of my Second Uncle.â Ling Sheng looked at him in disdain, as though she was looking at a bad person. She could not help but feel indignant for her Second Uncle. âEveryone else still thinks that my Second Uncle had canceled the engagement first, and that heâs a scumbag. On the other hand, the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family never had any regret about being infatuated with my Second Uncle. She was very devoted! She died because of love!â
âAre you happy because itâs me?â Jun Shiyan looked at the heartless little woman and wondered how he should punish her!
After thinking for a long time, he could only resign to his fate and admit defeat. Forget it. His heart was already aching when he saw her like this. How could he bear to punish her?
âIf itâs not my Second Uncle, Iâll be happy,â Ling Sheng nodded. Upon seeing that the man was about to flare up, she pointed at him and questioned, âYou provoked another woman and made her fall sick and die while pining for you. Is it an honor to you? Are you proud?â
âHow can you be sure that she died because of me?â Jun Shiyan got annoyed too. âIâve only met her twice in total. Where did her lovesickness come from?â
âBut she has deep feelings for you. Otherwise, why did Dongfang Meng come to find you? Why didnât she go find my father or Second Uncle?â Ling Sheng felt jealous.
Humph, what a flirtatious butterfly. After attracting other women, how dare he quibble with her?!
âYou keep pestering me about this. Youâre being unreasonable.â Jun Shiyan reached out to pinch her nose mercilessly before pinning her down on the sofa. He sniffed and gave her a taste of her own medicine. âDo you smell strange?â
Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him and extended her leg to kick him. In a low voice, she said, âYouâre pinching my nose. How can I smell anything?!â
After Jun Shiyan let go of her nose, he started to tickle her. As he watched the lass roll around on the sofa and flail her limbs nonstop, he asked, âWill you still spout nonsense? Tell me, are you still going to spout nonsense?â
âIâm telling the truth.â Ling Sheng laughed until her small body curled up into a ball. She tried her best to dodge the manâs attacks, but sadly, she realized that she had nowhere to hide. She kicked him with her legs and scratched him with her hands before shouting loudly, âHelp! A bad guy is bullying me!â
âWho bullied who?â Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh. Upon seeing her flail around like a cat, he asked, âWho did you say I bullied?â
âYouâre bullying me!â Ling Sheng was laughing so hard from being tickled that she was out of breath. She could not help but dodge the whole time. âYouâre a bad person. You bullied me.â
âWho are you?â Jun Shiyanâs voice became increasingly low and pleasant, as though it was carrying electricity, making oneâs heart tingle.
âIâm your little wife!â Ling Sheng shouted. She could not take it anymore. She looked at him pitifully, her big eyes full of tears from laughing. âPlease, I beg you. Iâm dying of laughter. My stomach hurts.â
âWho are you begging?â Jun Shiyanâs smile widened but he had already stopped what he was doing. âWho am I? Why are you begging me?â
âYouâre a scoundrel!â Ling Sheng gritted her teeth angrily before she saw the manâs hand make a move to reach toward her again. âYouâre my husband! My husband, all right?!â
Wuwuwu, Iâm scared! Iâm scared!
âI can still deal with you.â Jun Shiyan pulled her into his embrace smoothly, wiped her tears, and rubbed her stomach. âDoes it really hurt?â
Ling Sheng bit her lips, her big eyes still sparkling with tears. She nodded aggrievedly. âIt hurts. It hurts so much.â
Jun Shiyan got anxious. He picked her up in his arms and walked off.
Ling Sheng patted his shoulder. âWhere are you going?â
âThe hospital.â
âPut me down. I donât hurt anymore. It doesnât hurt.â
âI can set my mind at ease if you go for a check-up.â
âI lied to you. Really, it doesnât hurt at all!â
âReally?â
âJun Shiyan, you b*stard! You tricked me on purpose!â
âWhat did you say? Iâm going deaf, I didnât hear you. Say that again.â
âBeat it!â
âIn that case⦠Little wife, beat âitâ with me!â
âYouâre shameless! My Third Master is not like you!â
âReally? Then whatâs your Third Master like?â
âSomeone like you. Someone just like you. If you bully me again, Iâll run away from home. Iâll go find my father!â
â¦
An Yan and Xu Xi were guarding outside. The roomâs soundproofing effect wasnât very good either. Although they could not hear the duoâs conversation, they could vaguely hear the girlâs shouts. Bad guy, shameless, beat it. They looked at each other with complicated expressions. They did not dare say anything even if they wanted to.
Was this still the Third Master they knew? How old was the young lady? How could he bear to do that?
Sigh, what a beast! Heâs worse than a beast!
