His Majesty is Scheming - C238
Mrs. Ling smiled and said, “I won’t go back. It’s better to stay here and live comfortably. Every day, we’ll have to fight mahjong a dozen times to get by. You don’t have to do it like in the city, except to watch people sneaking around in the garden and watching them hit Tai Chi, it’s meaningless. ”
Ling Mengzhu shook her head in opposition, and said angrily: “Then aren’t you pitiful staying at home by yourself? “It’s better if you come back with me. I’ll give you an annual card at the Elderly Leisure Center, and then you can do whatever you want.”
“What do I have to fear by myself? Do you think I’m pitiful in any way? The neighbors are all there, and there’s a lot of them. ”
Ling Mengzhu bit her lips and looked at her. Madam Ling’s stubbornness was not something that she could move. She had already known this a long time ago. Although it was bustling during the day, at night, they all went home to rest. No matter how lively it was, she was the only one left.
Long Zhenghao patted her back to comfort her, and gave her a piece of beef: “Hurry up and eat, the food is going to get cold.”
Mrs. Ling also gave her a piece of chicken and said seriously, “In the future, no matter what happens, everyone can always be more tolerant. Don’t just run away from home, okay? “They’re not even children anymore.”
“Auntie, I will, I definitely won’t let her want to leave again.” Long Zhenghao smiled as he promised as he wrapped his arm around Ling Mengzhan’s waist. He would take good care of her, he would love her, he would never do anything like that again.
Ling Mengzhu advised Madam Ling, and could only lower her head gloomily as she ate. Inwardly, she thought that if she hadn’t run away from home with Madam Ling, she wouldn’t have asked to stay in her hometown. She was to blame for all of this!
Standing under the jujube tree, Ling Mengzhu watched the neighbors stuff what they had brought with them into the trunk of the car. In her heart, she felt moved. She never thought that everyone would miss her so much.
She picked up a few leaves from the jujube tree and held them in her hands. Suddenly, she felt a little reluctant to get on the carriage.
“What’s wrong? What are you daydreaming about? ” Long Zhenghao stood by her side and took the jujube leaf from her hand. He couldn’t see anything funny about the leaf, to the point she was so focused on playing with it.
“This is the leaf of the jujube tree. The last time you ate it, you picked it from the top, remember?” Ling Mengzhu raised her head to look at the jujube tree above her head, her palm curving into an arc over her eyes, blocking out the sun.
“Of course I remember. It’s still very sweet.” That was the first time Mrs. Ling came to his house. At the beginning, he really couldn’t stand Mrs. Ling’s rural personality and made a mess of his house. Then, ashamed of being moved by her kindness, he let go of her completely, and the two of them formed the same line of battle.
“Then we’ll come back for dates next year.” Ling Meng Zhu’s eyes curved into the shape of two crescent moons. Long Zhenghao nodded, “Of course, but my dear, we have to get on the car now. Otherwise, it would be very late when we return to Bincheng.”
Ling Mengzhu nodded and got into the car with him. Grandma Zhang laughed and said, “Remember to treat us to a drink when we get married. No matter how far away we will be going. Do you hear me? ”
“I heard it, I’ll definitely treat everyone to a good drink. Thank you, uncles and aunties. We’ll be leaving now. See you later.”
“Be careful on the way!” Madam Ling waved to the car that was slowly leaving the courtyard. Ling Mengzhu turned around and waved to everyone emotionally. The car drove off in the direction of the village entrance and disappeared, ashamed, around the corner.
After returning to this house, Ling Meng Zhu stood by the door. Since she felt that she was going home, subconsciously, she had already treated this place as her own home. After leaving for so many days, she had to admit that she really missed him.
“Why don’t you go in? “You don’t dare to enter?” Long Zhenghao pulled her and smiled as he led her inside.
Ling Mengzhu followed him into the room. Just as she was about to return the greeting to the bedroom, Long Zhenghao suddenly spoke up to stop her, “Dearest, where are you moving to? Do you want me to come down and squeeze into the guest room with you? ”
“I… Who wants to share a room with you? ” Ling Mengzhu’s face reddened as she quickened her pace towards the room she used to live in.
Long Zhenghao laughed and followed her in. He lazily leaned on the bed and watched her organize the luggage and said, “We have separated for a long time already. I’m going to be a monk in a temple. ”
Monks were better than him these days. Some of the temple hosts still had wives and daughters at the foot of the mountain, and he had always been alone.
Ling Mengzhu ignored him, and the scene from that night flashed through her mind. When he did things, he didn’t look like someone who had been on a fast diet for a long time. And whenever she thought about how she would have to lie in the same bed with him in the days to come, she felt both excited and embarrassed. Of course, there was also endless anticipation.
Long Zhenghao had just returned from a meal and it was already around 9 pm. When he came out from his shower, he saw Ling Mengzhu lying on the sofa watching TV. He sat down beside her and snatched up the controls, saying, “Quickly go and take a bath. I’ve been tired all day, so I want to rest early tonight.”
“You can also go to sleep now, it’s not like I’m stopping you.” Ling Mengzhu threw a large towel at his dripping hair.
Long Zhenghao took the towel and started to wipe his hair, as he said, “I can’t sleep by myself.”
Ling Mengzhu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and continued watching the TV, which showed the world-famous viewing area. Long Zhenghao looked at the pure white landscape on the screen and said, “What’s so good about this? It’s all been handled.”
“I heard that the snow on Hokkaido, Japan, is indeed very beautiful. Have you ever been there?”
“Of course, I do occasionally have to go to Japan for business.” Long Zhenghao saw the amazement on her face and said with a smile, “It will snow in a few days at Hokkaido. I’ll accompany you to take a look then.”
“Really? “What about your job?” Upon hearing that she could go with him to see the snow, Ling Mengzhu was pleasantly surprised and worried. Long Zhenghao was such a busy man. She felt too embarrassed to ask him to accompany her to such a faraway place.
But Long Zhenghao didn’t care at all. He shrugged at her and said, “Money can’t be spent, I only have one wife.”
“Such flowery words!” There are a lot of women outside, as many as you want! ” Ling Mengzhu did not think much of it. She had never treated men as false, because she was no longer a seventeen or eighteen year old girl.
Long Zhenghao’s smile became more and more enchanting as she denied it. He leaned over and pressed her down on the sofa. Her lips landed on her fair neck and she kissed gently. Her hands were restless as well, and her enchanting voice sounded in her ear. “Dearest, I love you all my life. Leave the ones outside to other men.”
“You … “Let go, I’m going to take a bath …” Ling Mengzhu gasped for breath and struggled, her small hands curled into fists as she punched him on his shoulders. However, the strength was very, very light, as if she was helping him massage his shoulders.
Long Zhenghao bit her ear and said, “Don’t wash up tonight, do something serious.” With that, he picked her up from the sofa and walked up the stairs before placing her on his bed.
This was the first time Ling Mengzhu had laid down on this bed. It was a very soft and comfortable bed. In the past, she wasn’t even allowed to touch anything, but today she had the chance to lie down on it. Everything felt so unreal, as if it were a dream.
Long Zhenghao gently took off her clothes, and when he looked up, he saw her in a daze. He asked with a low and hoarse voice, “What’s wrong? What are you daydreaming about? ”
Looking at the gentle smile on his face, she suddenly leaned over and hugged him. With half her body hanging on his body, she said in a low voice, “You’re seducing me again, always seducing me …”
“You lured me first.” Long Zhenghao laughed as he pulled her off his body, bent over and kissed her.
Ling Mengzhan gasped, tightly hugging his body, her fingertips digging into his back causing his brows to furrow tightly. However, he didn’t let go because of the pain in his back. Instead, he quietly took off her hand and gently played with it.
“Can you …” “Let me go …” Ling Mengzhu said something against her will, because she was almost unable to endure this feeling of happiness. She wanted to shout something against her will, but instead she said something against her will.
“Of course not.”
The wind blowing in from outside the window was a little cold, but the two of them felt it was hot. They tightly stuck together as if they had forgotten themselves …
Once again, this time he slept until noon. Ling Mengzhu blocked the bright light from the window with her hand and looked at the time on her phone. He then patted his head in pain. He had been a bit too lazy these days, so he didn’t wake up until late in the morning.
He didn’t know when Long Zhenghao left, but the seat he slept on was already freezing cold. It seemed like he had been gone for quite some time. Maybe she went to work, Ling Mengzhu thought to herself.
The first time she woke up in Long Zhenghao’s room, she couldn’t get used to it. She looked around at the exquisite decorations and designs. She smiled suddenly, softly, and her heart filled with warmth.
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came from downstairs. Ling Mengzhu quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Even though she was still naked, she was still very embarrassed to face him, so the best thing she could do was pretend to continue sleeping.
The footsteps came closer, so light that it didn’t seem like Long Zhenghao’s footsteps, but there was no one else in the room besides Long Zhenghao. She turned her back to him, pretending to be lazy.
She pricked up her ears to listen, but she didn’t hear anything for a long time. She was surprised to smell the perfume that belonged to a girl. Long Zhenghao had always been a very strong presence. If it was him, she would have been able to sense it.
