Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 235

Pei Yunche stared at Nalan Jingwen in shock, forgetting to react. Nalan Jingwen pinched his nose and said, "You've made this expression many times tonight."

Pei Yunche grabbed her hand, his eyes burning with anticipation, and asked urgently, "What did you just say? Say it again."

Pei Yundai also looked at Nalan Jingwen, his gaze deep, as if he was pondering the truth of her words.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at the two people who were looking at her, then looked at Pei Yundai and said with a faint smile, "I know it is too late today, but after tonight, I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital again. So I would like to take this opportunity to meet General Pei and talk about my marriage with Che'er."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yundai's face flashed with a variety of expressions, his complexion extremely bad, dark as hell.

She had previously begged Nalan Jingwen for her younger brother's sake, all in the hope that he could pull himself together and she didn't want to see him so dejected anymore. But when she actually heard Nalan Jingwen say he wanted to marry her brother, she couldn't be happy at all. Even if it was a step up for their General's Mansion, she would rather not have it.

Even if Pei Yunche never marries, the General's Mansion can support him for life.

When Nalan Jingwen said those words, Pei Yunche's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down his cheeks like broken beads, unstoppable. He gripped Nalan Jingwen's sleeve tightly, his knuckles turning white, in an attempt to suppress his inner turmoil.

Seeing him like this, Pei Yundai felt she couldn't bear to look at him, so she simply turned her head away and refused to look. Why was her younger brother so eager to get married!

Nalan Jing sighed and said, "You've been crying for so long tonight, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow morning and you won't look good."

Pei Yunche pouted and punched Nalan Jingwen, yelling, "Bastard!"

Pei Yundai was startled and instinctively tried to stop him, but Nalan Jingwen gave her a look and then took Pei Yunche's punch.

Pei Yundai hurriedly went to check Nalan Jingwen's expression. Attacking the royal family was a serious crime.

Unexpectedly, Nalan Jingwen's face remained expressionless, but there was a doting look in his eyes that was hard for others to notice. Pei Yundai was speechless, feeling that he had done something unnecessary and that he was like an outsider.

Nalan Jingwen took Pei Yunche's hand and teased, "How am I a bastard?"

Even if I'm no longer pretty, you still have to marry me!

Unexpectedly, this was what Pei Yunche cared about. Nalan Jingwen was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Alright, I will marry you no matter what. Even if you become ugly or fat, I will still want you. How about it?"

Pei Yunche's eyes widened. "You!!"

Nalan Jingwen burst into laughter, his hearty laughter ringing out loudly in the darkness.

She pulled Pei Yunche into the general's mansion, with Pei Yundai following closely behind. "Your Highness, Mother is waiting for you in the study."

Nalan Jingwen glanced at her, nodded, released Pei Yunche's hand, and instructed, "Get a good rest tonight."

Pei Yunche held onto her tightly, glancing towards the study. Then, remembering his mother's imposing face, he said worriedly, "You know how bad-tempered Mother is. Anyway, even if she disagrees, I'm determined to marry you. We can always elope then."

He said this without any regard for Pei Yundai's presence. Pei Yundai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He actually said he wanted to elope in front of her. He really has some nerve.

Nalan Jingwen was taken aback by his words, paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and patted his hand to reassure him, "Don't worry, I will handle it."

Pei Yunche was still uneasy, but looking at Nalan Jingwen's face, it seemed that everything was easy and under her control. He swallowed the words that were on his lips and watched Nalan Jingwen walk into the study.

He stood outside, more nervous than anyone else, pacing back and forth. Pei Yundai, seeing this, got a headache and said in a deep voice, "Stop pacing. Do you like her that much? Is it no one but her?"

"Sister, you know me. Once I've decided on someone, I won't easily change my mind."

Pei Yundai disagreed, saying, "There are so many men around her. You can't beat Rong Hengyu alone. If you really marry her, you'll be devoured by her harem until there's nothing left. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Pei Yunche shook his head, looked at her seriously, and said, "She is different from ordinary women."

"How are they different? At most, she's in a higher position, has a more noble status, and is a bit prettier. Tsk, she looks like a man, looking..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered how Nalan Jingwen had crushed her at the Prince Xian's residence. He hadn't even used his full strength, yet he had beaten her so badly that she couldn't fight back. She couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

Nalan Jingwen's beautiful face reappeared in her mind, her always determined expression and resolute eyes. It was completely different from her previous playboy appearance. She had changed since when, as if she had been reborn.

Pei Yunche disliked hearing others speak ill of Nalan Jingwen, not even his own sister. His expression hardened slightly, and he stopped acting spoiled and unreasonable in front of Nalan Jingwen, becoming serious instead.

“When I was little, you and my mother told me that if I were to get married, I should marry a great hero who would protect the country and bring happiness to the people. I have kept that in mind ever since. Perhaps in your and my mother’s eyes, Nalan Jingwen is just an uneducated playboy. But if that were really the case, then it wouldn’t have been Nalan Jingwen’s turn to preside over the ceremony.”

"She is strong, brave, and the most insightful and intelligent person I have ever met. In my eyes, she is a hero."

“You said that if I married her, I wouldn’t be able to compete with the men around her, but you’re wrong. Nalan Jingwen treats all men the same way—she loves and respects them. Once you gain her approval, you become her most important person. She is always fair and just, and she would never show favoritism to anyone. The power struggles that usually occur in the inner quarters will never happen in hers.”

Although he disliked Rong Hengyu, he also knew that he was born into a noble family and his upbringing would not allow him to do things that were not respectable, let alone a gentle man like Liu Qishan, or Jinse. Everything was based on Nalan Jingwen.

They all love the same woman, so they won't put Nalan Jingwen in a difficult position because of them.

Pei Yundai was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute him. She looked into Pei Yunche's serious eyes, an expression she had never seen before—firm, persistent, and resolute.

She remained silent, but was deeply moved. Pei Yunche had grown up long ago, no longer the naive and innocent boy she remembered. He had his own thoughts and his own decisions, and no one could interfere with him, as long as he knew what he should do.

Pei Yundai sighed and finally said, "Do whatever you want. The General's Mansion will always be there for you."

Pei Yunche's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what she meant. He hugged her waist and said affectionately, "Thank you, sister!"

The General's Mansion will always be his strongest support. He can disregard everything and do what he wants. Even if Pei Yunche misjudged someone in the future, Pei Yundai will come to pick him up and take him home.

Pei Yunche hadn't been this close to her in a long time, and Pei Yundai's usually stern face broke into a smile.

After an unknown amount of time, the study door slowly opened, and Nalan Jingwen finally came out. Upon seeing this, Pei Yunche immediately went to greet him, "How was it? Did Mother give you any trouble?"

Nalan Jingwen patted his hand and gently shook his head, "Don't worry, you should have faith in me."

She looked up at the sky and said to him, "Go and rest, it's getting late."

Pei Yunche glanced at the study, which was still lit, then at Nalan Jingwen. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "May I come to see you again tomorrow?"

Nalan Jingwen looked at Pei Yundai beside him, who remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.

"I will personally escort my brother to the Prince's residence."

Nalan Jingwen then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and said, "Go back and rest now. I will be waiting for you at the palace tomorrow morning."

Pei Yunche reluctantly left, turning back every few steps as if he couldn't get enough of looking at Nalan Jingwen. Before he had taken more than a few steps, he quickly ran back, planted a kiss on Nalan Jingwen's cheek, and then disappeared without a trace.

Nalan Jingwen smiled helplessly, glancing at Pei Yundai's incredibly dark face out of the corner of her eye. She didn't say anything more to provoke her, otherwise she was really afraid that Pei Yundai wouldn't be able to handle it.
