Chapter 68: Daughter's Worries

  When I was about to pee with fright, I didn't even care that I was only wearing my underpants. I jumped out of bed and rushed out. Seeing Wen Jing's pale face and deep eyes standing there, I quickly touched her forehead. After confirming she wasn't feverish, my heart lifted up, and I asked in a trembling voice: "Girl, you're not possessed by a ghost again, are you? Don't scare me!"

  Look at my anxious and flustered appearance, Wen Jing suddenly laughed, and the smile on her pale face bloomed. It was like a night-blooming flower in full bloom, she naturally put her arms around my neck, tilted her head and said: "You're overthinking it, Wang Zhen. I'm perfectly normal!"

  If you call me by my name again, I'll beat you up!

  Wen Jing shook her head and said with a mischievous tone: "You can like me calling you 'ge' too. But you can't hide from me!"

  She said, dragging me to the sofa without turning on the light. She was about to sit on my leg, but I quickly pushed her away. Standing quietly with a huff, she said: "Wang Zhen, don't force me, I can do anything now!"

  Hey, this little brat has actually learned how to blackmail me. I said you wait, I'll put on my clothes and then come deal with you.

  After changing into my pajamas, I sat on the sofa with a big smile and said to Wen Jing: "You listen to me first, my cousin who risked her life to save from Jiangxi, absolutely does not want her to become a girl without manners, you deal with it yourself!"

  "Shut up," I said coldly. "You wanted to negotiate with me, didn't you? Let's get started!"

  She carefully walked to my side and sat down, sticking close to me, stuttering: "Brother, don't be angry, I didn't mean anything else, but you always treat me like a little sister, always avoiding me, so I can only call your name!"

  The meaning of Wenjing's words is clear, and I sighed silently, thinking that what was supposed to come has finally arrived. Earlier, Wenjing had already expressed her intentions, but at the time, she was being haunted by ghosts, so her affairs were negligible. Now that Wenjing is safe, she can't wait to bring it up again, but I haven't thought of a way to deal with it yet.

  The little sister I've raised since childhood, to say that I have no feelings for her is definitely impossible. Although it's not romantic love, I think it doesn't hinder us from living together under a different name.

  Is this realistic?

  Let's not mention the matter of my brother and sister-in-law for now. Even if we two have made up our minds to ignore public opinion, I still need to consider my own family. Not to mention giving birth to a daughter-in-law for my mother, Wenjing living in my house makes her frown every day, and this is not because of my mother's character. Relatives and neighbors all say she is a kind woman, but she just doesn't get along with Wenjing.

  When I was young, neighbors all spread rumors that Wenjing was actually my father's illegitimate daughter. But I knew it wasn't true, because I had heard my mother secretly discussing with my father about sending Wenjing back to her hometown and marrying her off to some family as a child bride. My father just said it wouldn't be good if she were his own flesh and blood, he wouldn't have refused so lightly. And my mother wouldn't have discussed it with him either.

  I don't know where this disgust comes from and can't ask about it, what's certain is that if I take Wenjing home and say to my mom: Mom, we're getting married.

  My mother would rather die on the spot than let Wenjing be noisy.

  I couldn't possibly elope with her, could I? After all the hardships my parents have endured to raise me, their only child, for over twenty years, how could I abandon them and run off with a woman? That's something only a beast or an animal would do.

  Wen Jing's feelings for me also originated from this. She was used to being protected by me, and that dependence made our bond thicker than with my other siblings.

  I was frowning and silent, Wen Jing became somewhat anxious, suddenly pounced into my arms, two arms tightly wrapped around me, breathing rapidly, but still firmly said: "Brother, I like you."

  As soon as I heard this, I was disheartened and my heart once again rose with resistance and unease. It wasn't that I disliked her, but the difficult problem she threw at me was too overwhelming, leaving me unable to find a solution, and all I wanted to do was to avoid it from afar.

  I still haven't responded to her feelings, Wen Jing let out a soft sigh, full of grievances, but she didn't force me, instead she turned over and lay in my arms, her small head resting on my shoulder, staring at me quietly.

  Wen Jing was a petite and delicate little girl, with a fresh grassy scent that wafted straight up my nose. I had been sleeping in the same bed as Kang Jiuxiang for those few days in Guan Cun Village, and I was already bursting with desire like a beast. Now, with Wen Jing's warm and soft body in my arms, and her warm, moist breath constantly brushing against my cheek, I was on the verge of losing control.

  I don't know if it's my reaction that she noticed, but Wen Jing's face turned red like a ripe apple, looking adorable. She bit her light pink lips and leaned her head into my neck, whispering: "Brother, do you also like me?"

  I said I'm an adult, and I'm different from you little girls who only think about puppy love in your brains...

  As I was speaking, Wenjing suddenly twisted her body lightly and whispered in a very low voice that she seemed to have a fever and felt uncomfortable all over. I raised my head to touch her forehead, taking advantage of the opportunity, Wenjing suddenly brought her mouth closer, I didn't react in time, and my lips transmitted a dizzying soft touch, a nimble and smooth tongue teased me, making me yearn for more, wanting to stop, but the sound coming from my throat was indeed a frantic gasp.

  A quiet little butt was rubbing against my lower abdomen, a pair of hands also became unscrupulous, scratching my neck and chest, making my whole body itch, I couldn't help but turn over and whip her severely, and in fact, I did just that, without considering the consequences, only thinking about releasing the desire that was about to burst out.

  But then I pressed her down, and just as I was about to tear off her nightgown like a beast, she quietly reached the depths of emotion, wrapped her arms around my neck, and whispered in my ear: "Brother, I want to be your bride."

  With just this sentence, my desire was thoroughly extinguished. I stared blankly at my own posture and hurriedly untangled the two slender and soft legs wrapped around my waist. Wen Jing still didn't give up, pulling me to sit up with her, her small head sliding towards my lower abdomen.

  At that time, I was extremely annoyed, but she was still charming and flirtatious. Her mouth slowly curved downwards, her eyes fixed on me with a seductive gaze, provoking me. My heart racing, I raised my hand and slapped her.

  I'm so angry that I pointed at her nose and scolded: "Who the hell taught you these tricks? Did I raise you to learn how to seduce men?"

  Wenjing covered her face in disbelief, her big eyes filled with grievance and shock. But I had already lost my rationality, how could I care about comforting her? I scolded her a few times, telling her to hurry back home. Wenjing finally shed tears, but as always, she was considerate of me, taking care of my emotions.

  She couldn't stop sobbing and apologized to me in a flurry, promising that it wouldn't happen again and asking me not to be angry or send her away.

  What's been on my mind is why Wenjing became like this, just as I was about to ask her where she learned it from, but suddenly thought of some things that made me so angry I wanted to kill someone, starting with myself.

  Wen Jing was taken away by Li Da Zhuang for over a decade, I really dare not imagine what she went through. A man in his 40s who died, I don't know how many means he used to torment an innocent little girl. She had already suffered greatly, and with a twisted intention, she tried to curry favor with me, but was slapped by my rough hand.

  Seeing her in distress and pain, tears streaming down her face, I couldn't help but cry too. Hurriedly wiping away my tears, I picked up Wenjing and vowed that she would never suffer again. As soon as I said this, a wave of heartache washed over me, and I cried even harder than she did.

  Wen Jing was stunned, as if she had been crying loudly and apologizing: "Brother, I was wrong, I won't do it again, don't cry, it's all An Su sister who taught me to do this, she said that only by seducing you to sleep with you would you take responsibility for me."

  This time I was stunned again, I pushed Wen Jing away and asked urgently: "What An Su, when did you see her?"

  Wen Jing didn't tell me, saying she had promised An Su that she wouldn't tell others about their affairs.

  I then asked her where Ansu was, I have to find this cheap woman to settle accounts.

  Wen Jing said, An Su sister is gone, this life will never see her again.

  Since it's already been said, I might as well tell you everything tonight. But Wenjing was still immersed in her recent pain, so I had to comfort her first: "Little sister, actually, I quite like you too, but we're siblings, and besides, your aunt won't approve of us either. When you grow up, you'll meet many good men who will take care of you for me. And on this trip to Guanxi Village, I've even found a sister-in-law for you - she's a bit older, but not bad. Before you get married, we can live together."

  Her face was completely drained of blood, but it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Today I'll give her a blow; if she doesn't take the hint, I'll think of another way later on.

  She bit her lower lip tightly, holding back tears, and then opened her mouth to ask me, but it seemed like there was a fire burning in her throat, her voice hoarse: "Who is she?"

  "To save you, I've bribed one of the enemy's concubines, her name is Kang Jiuxiang, she'll arrive at our house in a few days!"

  As soon as she heard the three words "Kang Jiuxiang", Wenjing suddenly opened her eyes wide, like a girl being cornered by a wolf, and hastily waved her hand: "No way, you can't marry her, she's a bad woman, you can't jump into the fire pit, brother!"

  I was stunned by her quietness again, and muttered: "Have you seen her?"

  "See, she's very bad! I told her I had a brother and that he would be worried if I didn't return, and I begged her to let me go. But not only did she not listen, she hit me and said she wanted to bring my brother here to keep me company. If it wasn't for An Su saving me, I'm sure she would have beaten me to death! Brother, even if you don't like me, you can't like her either. Otherwise, your children will also be beaten to death by her, she's so vicious!"

  I clutched my forehead and let out two miserable groans, asking: "Wasn't it Liu Weimin who saved you? Not An Su? Hurry up and tell me, what the hell is going on here!"
