Free Web NovelChapter 307: The Unspoken Secret Between This King and Cai Wenji
As the sky darkened, the night spread across the land.
In the courtyard by the lake, an ambiguous atmosphere gradually began to rise.
Cai Wenji’s slightly chubby, baby-like face blushed with two patches of rosy red, like petals of peach blossoms. She bit her slightly trembling lips and blinked her large, Karalan-like eyes, staring blankly at Long Chen.
With his hands behind his back, Long Chen gazed straight into Cai Wenji’s delicate face, meeting her eyes, without feeling the slightest shame for his earlier accidental actions.
Long Chen was dressed in a Blue Moon Dragon Robe, with a crown of stars and moon on his head, and a sword at his waist. His appearance was extraordinarily handsome, but what captivated people the most was not his flawless face, but the unique, peerless aura he exuded. He stood tall like a peak amidst the cold, isolated heights.
He was like an ancient, world-shattering sword capable of splitting the heavens and earth, embodying all the virtues a man could possess.
This was Long Chen, whose charm had reached a perfect score of 100, the most unique and extraordinarily handsome man in the world!
With the activation of his legendary golden talent, the "Dragon and Phoenix of Humanity," extraordinary visions of heaven and earth gathered around Long Chen. Among them, a true dragon roared and wandered, and a golden phoenix flapped its wings.
Cai Wenji’s beautiful eyes glimmered with a sharp light.
It seemed that Long Chen’s earlier touch no longer mattered, and even... she felt like she had gained something! After all, she had taken advantage of him...
However, this thought only lasted a moment before Cai Wenji shook her head vigorously to dispel it. She instinctively stepped back a few paces, staring at Long Chen in surprise, exclaiming:
"Did you cast some strange spell on me just now?!"
Long Chen: "....."
"What? My lady, are you joking? I am the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty, why would I cast any spell on a weak woman like you?"
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, two stunning figures walked in from the rear hall.
One wore a light white dress, as gentle and elegant as a goddess descended from the heavens. It was Da Qiao.
The other wore a short pink skirt, with two white stockings on her legs made from silk produced by an icy silkworm. These stockings not only enhanced her speed but were also designed by Long Chen, who had a knack for fashion.
The white stockings and short skirt matched Xiao Qiao’s irresistibly charming face and figure, making one almost want to devour her in one bite.
Seeing the tense scene in the courtyard, the gentle Da Qiao quickly called out in a soft voice, "Husband, Sister Wenji, what are you doing?"
The clever Xiao Qiao, noticing Cai Wenji’s shy expression, couldn’t help but start imagining things.
Could it be that Sister Wenji was captivated by her husband’s looks?
After all, Sister Wenji was a great talent, and yet even she couldn’t escape such mundane temptations!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao chuckled softly, her eyes curving like crescents, looking very adorable.
On the surface, Long Chen appeared calm, but inside, he felt an inexplicable thrill.
When he heard Da Qiao’s voice, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty.
Oh, Da Qiao~ Thanks to you, tonight I’ll make sure to reward you well.
Thinking this, he turned to Da Qiao and said, "Nothing, nothing. I had just returned home and heard beautiful zither music coming from the backyard, so I came to have a look. I didn’t expect it to be the daughter of Master Cai—such talent and beauty!"
Long Chen smiled and cupped his hands toward Cai Wenji in praise.
It was his way of apologizing for his earlier inappropriate behavior.
Cai Wenji’s face blushed as she turned her head away, let out a humph, and then gracefully stepped on a lotus flower, flying over to the shore where Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao stood.
She wanted to speak up about Long Chen’s improper actions, but she worried it would embarrass him. More importantly, she was still an unmarried woman.
If word of this got out, how could she ever get married in the future?!
With that thought, Cai Wenji grew even more anxious, clenching her fists tightly.
He had touched her there... That scoundrel had taken advantage of her, and didn’t that mean...
Oh no! Could it be that she would have to marry this scoundrel?!
Although the women of this world were not subjected to the strict chastity standards of the Song Dynasty, they still held traditional values and were conservative about matters between men and women.
Now that Long Chen had accidentally touched and squeezed a place meant only for her future husband, didn’t that mean her purity had been compromised?!
Thinking of this, Cai Wenji’s already red face paled even further. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Noticing Wenji’s strange expression, the observant Da Qiao realized something was amiss.
Just moments ago, she and Xiao Qiao had only intended to retrieve their qin to accompany Wenji in playing music.
But then, their husband had unexpectedly returned.
Could it be...
Da Qiao thought of something unpleasant, and gently holding Cai Wenji’s delicate hand, she softly asked, “Sister, did my husband take liberties with you?!”
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Cai Wenji’s eyes, and she leaned on Da Qiao, sobbing.
Long Chen was now restless, fidgeting in discomfort.
What a disaster!
If only he had asked first... then things wouldn’t have turned out this way...
