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

Chapter 54

The man finally slowly raised his head, revealing his handsome face. He gave Nalan Jingwen a generous smile and said, "What a coincidence, Your Highness."

Nalan Jingwen sneered, “It is indeed a coincidence, Pei Yunche.”

Pei Yunche's smile stiffened, and he felt guilty under her cold gaze, so he looked away from her.

Nalan Jing's smile faded, and he turned back to the carriage.

Jingchi's eyes swept over the man in front of him, looking him up and down. His expression was indifferent, and he showed little interest. He then followed Nalan Jingwen into the carriage.

Hongyun's face was rather unpleasant. The sudden appearance of an unrelated person among her people was her dereliction of duty, but she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her, and she didn't know how to explain things to Nalan Jingwen.

"Young Master Pei..."

Pei Yunche looked visibly disappointed when he saw Nalan Jingwen leave. He nodded to Hongyun when he heard her voice, as a way of saying hello.

He then lifted his foot and walked towards the carriage.

He walked to the carriage window, hesitant, afraid that Nalan Jing would be angry and dared not get into the carriage. He knocked on the window and said:

"Nalan Jingwen, are you angry?"

He asked cautiously.

There was no sound inside; it was completely quiet.

"Don't be angry, I didn't even hold it against you for pressing my pressure points."

There was still no sound from inside.

Pei Yunche felt a little wronged, pouted, and continued, "So what if I didn't tell you and secretly followed you all the way? Is it really that big of a deal?"

"Who told you to decide my life's most important matter so easily? I've thought about it for a long time. I want my happiness to be in my own hands. If you won't help me, I'll find a way myself."

This time, the curtain of the car window was suddenly pulled open, revealing Nalan Jingwen's beautiful yet indifferent face.

"So your solution is to run away from home without saying a word?"

"Following right behind my carriage? If we encounter any danger along the way, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Pei Yunche, I told you long ago not to be willful and to consider the consequences of your actions. Can you even bear the consequences? Have you taken my words to heart?"

Whether Pei Yunche ran away from home or did whatever he wanted, it was none of her business. But he actually followed her carriage. No matter what, he was still following her. To put it bluntly, the Prince Xian was a womanizer who had abducted the young master of the Pei family, who was about to enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection. Not only did all the trouble fall on her shoulders, but General Pei also completely regarded her as a thorn in his side.

Even Nalan Fengxing didn't know what she would think. No matter how deep the sisterly affection was, even in ordinary families, blood ties would eventually be exhausted, let alone in the royal family.

She really hates trouble.

Nalan Jingwen's gaze was icy and cold, devoid of any emotion, causing his heart to tremble.

Young Master Pei had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered any grievances. His only setback was with Nalan Jingwen. No one had ever looked at him with such eyes before, as cold as if he were in a frozen wasteland.

Her eyes reddened, she felt extremely wronged, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was tinged with sobs.

"Do you know how long the audition is? It's in seven days. I don't have time anymore. I can't wait for you to come back. I have to find a way to save myself. I don't want to live an unhappy life, and I don't want to live in regret forever. This is the only way..."

"They say that marriage is ordained by parents and matchmakers, but just a few words decided my entire life. They didn't even care about my feelings. No one asked me if I would be happy. They always said I was lucky, but no one ever asked me if I wanted any of this."

His tears flowed uncontrollably, crystal tears sliding down the delicate curves of his cheeks, a helpless accusation. He could have endured those grievances, but Nalan Jingwen's cold gaze and questioning made him completely break down.

These days, he has been living in constant anxiety, unable to sleep or close his eyes night after night. He is in great pain. The thought of marrying someone he does not love and entering that deep palace, like a caged bird that will never see the light of day again, fills him with immense fear.

As the day of his entry into the palace drew closer, he became increasingly anxious, unable to eat or sleep properly, and lost a significant amount of weight. But then he heard the news that Nalan Jingwen had returned to the capital. No one knew how happy he was; he seemed to see hope and hoped that Nalan Jingwen could save him.

but……

“I had no other choice but to resort to this tactic. You don’t need to worry about me. My running away from home has nothing to do with you. I’ve already left a letter in my room telling my mother not to look for me.”

After saying that, he walked in the opposite direction of the carriage, his back straight, displaying a heroic and unyielding demeanor.

Nalan Jingwen watched his retreating figure, his forehead throbbing with pain. He gave a signal to Hongyun, who immediately understood and stepped in front of Pei Yunche.

Pei Yunche's eyes were red-rimmed. He sniffed and said, "What are you doing?!" But his eyes kept darting back.

Hongyun bowed and said, "Young Master Pei, His Highness invites you to get into the carriage."

Pei Yunche raised his chin and said, "I don't need her to worry about me! Anyway, if I get into any danger, or encounter any wild beasts or bandits, that's my fate. If I die, I die. It's better than being sad in the palace, gazing at the red walls, and growing old alone!"

He spoke loudly, as if afraid that Nalan Jing wouldn't hear him.

This stubborn personality is truly frustrating.

She called out.

Pei Yunche.

Pei Yunche remained with his back to her, neither turning around nor standing still. "What are you doing?!"

"boarding!"

It would be truly foolish of her to leave him alone in this desolate wilderness. This place is 800 miles away from the capital. With his mediocre skills, if he were to encounter any danger, General Pei would surely tear her apart.

Pei Yunche seemed rooted to the spot, refusing to turn around, as if he wanted to stick to his guns with her to the very end.

Nalan Jingwen's dark eyes darkened, and his tone also became somber.

"I don't have that much time to waste with you. If you want to get in the carriage, hurry up. Once my patience runs out, you can stay here by yourself."

After saying this, he lowered the curtain and addressed Hongyun.

"Departure."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hongyun glanced quickly at Pei Yunche, then swiftly returned to the carriage.

Seeing that what Nalan Jingwen said was true, and that he really wouldn't wait for him, Pei Yunche hurriedly turned around, caught up with the carriage, and nimbly got into it.

"Nalan Jingwen, you bastard!!"

Hongyun stood to the side expressionless, not even glancing at him, but deliberately told the driver to slow down, only resuming the original speed after seeing Pei Yunche safely board the carriage.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at Rong Hengyu's hasty movements as he got into the car, and silently protected him to prevent him from being accidentally hurt.

As soon as Pei Yunche got into the carriage, before he could even scold Nalan Jingwen, he saw Rong Hengyu lying on the couch, his breath weak and his life hanging in the balance.

There was also a mirror pool, where someone sat upright like a statue, with a cold and indifferent expression.
