Phoenix Hairpin

Chapter 109

Lu Mingyu finally found out that Li Jing was really difficult to deal with.

On the premise of not doing anything, she had nothing to do with the black-bellied and cheeky Li Jing who was approaching step by step.

Looking at the familiar little flames in Lu Mingyu's eyes, Li Jing smiled slightly: "The last time I came to Lu's residence was at night, today I would like to ask Fourth Miss Lu to lead me around Lu's residence, how about it?" 

He said that and taking a step forward, he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Mingyu's hand.

The moment his hands touched her, Lu Mingyu trembled slightly and retreated reflexively.

Li Jing took another step closer, slowly but firmly holding Lu Mingyu's hand.

This time, Lu Mingyu didn't dodge anymore.

She lowered her gaze and glanced at the clasped hands. She had practiced martial arts since she was a child, her fingers are long and strong, and there are thin calluses in her palms.

Li Jing's hand was much bigger than hers, fair and beautiful. He wrapped her hands tightly.

He was actually not as calm and composed as he appeared on the surface. She found his palm was a little hot. That was the most instinctive reaction of a person when he was nervous.

Lu Mingyu raised her eyes and looked at Li Jing with deep eyes.

"Why are you nervous?"

The trace of reluctance in Lu Mingyu's heart suddenly disappeared. She raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of banter in her tone: "Are you afraid that being casual and abrupt will offend me, so I will beat you up?"

Li Jing was silent for a moment before replying: "Not entirely."

More, it's a dream come true with a sense of trance and unreality.

Lu Mingyu didn't have a hypocritical and coy temper, so she held Li Jing's hand and pulled him into the mansion: "I'll show you around Lu's mansion." 

Li Jing smiled and hummed, and exerted a little force to hold her hand even tighter.

Don't think about the old things in the past. Only this moment was the most real and touching.

It has to be said that the guards of the Lu residence were also very knowledgeable and cute. Lu Mingyu dragged Li Jing around slowly in Lu's mansion, but wherever they went, he didn't even see a guard.

He didn't know where so many people were hiding.

Thinking of this, Li Jing suddenly laughed.

Lu Mingyu glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Li Jing replied with a smile: "I know you were loved by your family when you were young, but today I know how much everyone spoils you."

Not to mention his future father-in-law, even Lu Fei's brothers and sisters were also pampering her. Everyone was used to her. There were so many guards and soldiers in the Lu family, and they were also used to their young lady.

Lu Mingyu asked casually: "Oh? Aren't you very clear about my affairs? You only found it out today?"

Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he smiled leisurely: "Don't talk to me. As I said, some things, I will tell you after we get married. Now you ask, I won't say a word."

Lu Mingyu stopped and turned her head, her eyes were burning.

Li Jing: "..."

She was so annoyed by being teased, she was going to beat him up?

Then, Lu Mingyu took a step closer. The two were already close, but at this moment Lu Mingyu took the initiative to approach as if throwing himself into an embrace. A faint scent of a girl's body spread into the nostrils.

"Li Jing," she stared into his eyes, her voice soft: "We are already a fiancée. Since I promised to marry you, I will never go back on my promise. Why wait until we get married, tell me now, okay?"

Lips like a red rose, spitting out gentle words.

The slim body almost clung to his body.

The boiling blood, half rushed to the mind, half rushed down.

Li Jing's face turned red instantly.

He let go of his hand in some embarrassment, and took a few steps back: "You, don't come near me."

Lu Mingyu successfully teased Li Jing once and smiled smugly.

The flowers in full bloom were not as beautiful as her smile. The chirping of birds in the distance was not as crisp and sweet as her laughter.

It's a pity that Li Jing had no time to appreciate her smile at this time. He turned around in embarrassment, calmly facing the lush green trees. Lu Mingyu smiled even more happily.

...

After a long time, Li Jing turned around again, the strange redness on his face faded, and he regained his usual gentle and elegant demeanor.

For some reason, Lu Mingyu burst into laughter again.

This appearance that can't resist teasing is both ridiculous and amusing, not that of a clueless young man.

Ever since the two met, Lu Mingyu had been at a disadvantage everywhere and felt a little aggrieved. Today she completely gained the upper hand and felt much happier.

Lu Mingyu was overjoyed, Li Jing looked helpless: "Is it so funny?"

Lu Mingyu nodded calmly: "It's so funny."

After speaking, there was another burst of laughter.

Li Jing looked helplessly. There was no mirror at this time, so he didn't know that his eyes were full of connivance and doting.

Lu Mingyu stopped after laughing enough, and stretched out her hand leisurely: "Come here, I'll take you around." That tone was like a proud queen facing a loyal follower.

Such a good opportunity to get close, even with piercing thorns, Li Jing would never refuse it.

He smiled and stepped forward, putting his hand into Lu Mingyu's.

This time, it was Lu Mingyu's hand holding his hand.

Lu Mingyu's hands were much smaller than Li Jing's. However, her fingers were exceptionally long and powerful. With a little effort, she held Li Jing's hand in hers.

Li Jing had the courage to laugh at himself: "Your supernatural power is amazing. With a little effort, I can't even move my hands. I will get married in the future, and I dare not provoke you at all."

Lu Mingyu glanced at him with a half-smile: "If that's the case, how do you dare to marry me?"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

This Li Jing's mouth was tighter than a clam shell.

Lu Mingyu simply stopped asking and dragged Li Jing around.

Lu's mansion was really not small, and the two of them can turn around slowly for half a day. The two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention the past and chatted casually, but they were also harmonious.

When they reached the gazebo, Lu Mingyu asked Li Jing to sit down and rest for a while.

After holding hands for a long time, he finally let go.

Lu Mingyu's palms were clean, while Li Jing's palms were full of hot flashes.

Li Jing was ashamed today, and he seemed to want to break the pot, so he spread his palms for Lu Mingyu to see: "Look." 

Lu Mingyu smiled and glared at him, "You're sweating nervously, and it's my fault."

She also didn't notice that in just half a day, her tone of voice to Li Jing became much more casual. The previous vigilance and unconscious tension slowly eased.

Li Jing was very happy in his heart and sighed on purpose: "I dare not blame you, I only blame myself for not living up to expectations. I become like a flustered deer whenever I see you."

What a flustered deer!

Lu Mingyu was amused and laughed again.

With such a harmonious atmosphere, it is really inappropriate to talk about the bad things in the palace.

However, this was also one of Li Jing's intentions. Li Jing still opened his mouth to talk about the chaos in the harem: "...the Empress Mother and the Emperor Father had a dispute, and they broke up. Concubine Qin and the Fourth Prince were fined and grounded. Grandmother was unhappy and scolded the Emperor for a while. Pause. Father is so angry that he didn't go to court today."

Ohhh how sweet. Our FL is falling for our ML.
