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

Chapter 51

The original owner disliked Pei Yunche, even though he was also extremely handsome. If Rong Hengyu was a precious jewel, Liu Qishan was a gentle yet resilient bamboo, and Jingchi was a handsome and unrestrained lion, then Pei Yunche was a surging and turbulent sea wave.

Despite his arrogant and domineering nature, he was as vibrant and unstoppable as the ocean waves, and possessed a naive innocence that made him unaware of the ways of the world.

What the original owner disliked was his personality; she felt he was too naive, too lively and unrestrained, and lacked the gentleness and dignity that a man should have.

So even if he is very handsome, she still can't like him. Besides, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. She and Pei Yunche are too familiar with each other and know each other inside and out, so she really can't like him.

Nalan Jingwen snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at the man who was about to lie down beside her, feeling a headache coming on.

He called out, "Pei Yunche."

The man beside her suddenly stiffened, then got up and tried to run away, but Nalan Jingwen grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him back.

Nalan Jingwen raised an eyebrow. "What, you dare to do it but not face me?"

Pei Yunche was extremely embarrassed; his guilty expression after being caught was clearly visible in the darkness.

"You...how did you..."

"How come I wasn't drugged by you, right?"

Pei Yunche nodded hurriedly.

It took him a lot of effort to steal the sleeping pills from his mother's study.

"You'd better learn your mediocre skills properly before you try to charm me."

He was thrown back onto the bed, caught off guard and seeing stars. Rubbing his backside, he complained, "How could you be so rough? You have no mercy on a woman!"

Nalan Jingwen stood by the bed with his arms crossed, watching him.

Are you jade?

"you!"

"What kind of good man climbs into someone else's bed in the middle of the night?"

Feeling embarrassed by what he was being said, Pei Yunche simply pretended to be dead, burying his head in the blanket like a quail.

Nalan Jingwen pulled him out of bed, grabbed his collar and questioned, "Who taught you to climb into a woman's bed in the middle of the night? And who taught you to use such despicable tricks, disregarding your own chastity, and forcing a woman to marry you?"

Her voice was stern, carrying a hint of authority that made people feel intimidated. Pei Yunche didn't dare to look at her, turning his face away and muttering softly, "...No one taught me."

Nobody taught him? Then why would he do something so foolish?

In this world, how difficult it is for a man to live without his innocence! Doesn't he know that?!

She slapped him hard on the buttocks, and Pei Yunche let out a wail, then covered his buttocks and glared at her hatefully.

Why did you hit me?!

Nalan Jingwen slapped him on the buttocks again, and he let out another wail. Luckily, there was no one in the courtyard, otherwise it would have attracted attention.

"I've only been gone for two years, and you've already become like this? Do you know what outsiders will say if they see you in my room? And what will you do then?!"

Nalan Jingwen wasn't concerned about his innocence, but rather about his inability to bear the accusations of others. In this world, life is already difficult for men. So what if he is the son of a general? Rumors can kill.

Although the original owner broke off relations with him, their past feelings remained. Pei Yunche had always been cheerful and innocent, and Nalan Jingwen had a good impression of this man, so she naturally did not want to see him being criticized and cursed by everyone.

Pei Yunche clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and remained stubborn.

"I know! I'm going to marry you! I want everyone to see it! That way you'll have to marry me!"

Another slap, the sound crisp and pleasant.

"Why did you hit me?! Even my mother never hit me like that!"

He wailed, clutching his backside and trying to escape, but he couldn't break free from Nalan Jingwen's clutches. Although he possessed martial arts skills, he was ultimately too weak against Nalan Jingwen.

"Then I'll discipline you properly on behalf of your mother."

Then came another slap.

"Nalan Jingwen, you bastard!!"

Nalan Jingwen turned a deaf ear and coldly slapped him again and again, only learning his lesson when he felt the pain.

The sounds of struggle gradually subsided, and the body lying on her lap trembled with each slap. Nalan Jing sensed something and lifted the person up.

By the moonlight, sure enough, his red eyes were filled with tears, and he was choking back sobs, full of grievance.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Nalan Jing asked in a calm voice.

Pei Yunche glared at her with tears in his eyes, then turned his head away from her.

"If you don't point out anything wrong, then I'll continue."

As she spoke, she raised her hand high again, as if to strike. Perhaps she was truly afraid of being hit, Pei Yunche quickly grabbed her hand and held her tightly in his arms, his voice choked with sobs, "I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please don't hit me!"

"What's wrong?"

Pei Yunche's eyes darted away, but his grip on her didn't loosen at all.

"My mistake... was climbing into your bed..."

Nalan Jingwen remained silent, staring at him with deep eyes. Feeling a chill run down his spine from her gaze, he immediately changed his words, saying, "My mistake was insisting on marrying no one but you!"

Nalan Jingwen was speechless, and felt an urge to slap him again.

Someone who didn't know better might think this was a confession of love.

Pei Yunche pulled his hand back, but she wouldn't let go. She glared at him, and he shrank back.

"You were wrong to not value your reputation, wrong to be too willful and disregard the consequences, wrong to not know the power of public opinion, and even more wrong to underestimate human nature!"

Her voice was extremely calm, as if she were talking about something ordinary, but every word she spoke carried immense weight, crashing into Pei Yunche's heart.

Pei Yunche was stunned for a moment, even forgetting his fear.

Nalan Jingwen continued, "You can make a scene however you want, but you can't do it at the cost of hurting yourself."

"Luckily it was me. If it had been someone else, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

Pei Yunche looked at her with his watery eyes. Hearing her words, he calmed down and said, "Do you think I'm making a scene?"

Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to answer, he heard him continue, "Two years ago, after that fight between us, you went to war with the army. I regretted it then and thought I should apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you might not have been gone for two years. I longed for your return every day. Thinking about what you said back then, I want to apologize to you properly. Do you know how guilty I have felt these past two years?"

He looked at her, his voice choked with emotion, feeling extremely wronged, his eyes seemingly filled with scattered stars.

"What I just said is true. I want to marry you. My mother wants to send me to the palace, but I don't want to. I don't want to marry someone I don't know. If I really have to marry someone, I would rather marry you!"

"Do you know how happy I was when I heard you were back in the capital? I thought you had forgiven me. I waited and waited at the manor, but you never came to see me. My mother stopped me from coming to see you and sent people to guard me. I had no choice. If you wouldn't come to me, I had to come to you. But even when I came to see you, you treated me like this..."

His voice grew softer and softer, yet more and more choked up, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He suddenly hugged Nalan Jingwen and burst into tears.

Isn't that a huge injustice?
