Chapter 5

Shen Qingxin only then understood that no matter how detailed the plan was, one had to wait until the actual execution to understand the difficulty.

In order to help Sima Langri take back the Chilong Jade Lock, she specifically asked someone to copy an identical Chilong Jade Lock, preparing to swap the fake for the real. The problem was, where should she start?

It is said that the other half of the Chilong Jade Lock is either with Feng Jue or his wife Ji Ruohuan, and both of them are very powerful. It is not a simple matter to get things from them, so Sima Langri and Sima She have been unable to get their hands on it for a long time.

What to do? Wanting to get the Chilong Jade Lock is nothing more than taking "stealing, robbing, cheating, and deceiving" means.

But how can she steal without anyone knowing? How can she rob and win? Let alone cheating and deceiving; she understands her ability, I'm afraid she can't use these four methods flexibly, so what should she do? She had a big headache.

Sighing longly, now even Bingxin knows her purpose, and she didn't stop her, but strongly encouraged her to act. Does Bingxin think she has this ability, or is she purely wanting to watch a show?

She didn't understand Bingxin's thoughts, but she only hoped that Bingxin wouldn't spread the plan, and she didn't have the heart to care about the rest.

Chilong Jade Lock! Chilong Jade Lock! No matter how much she hated it, she had to get it.

She kept muttering in her heart, not paying any attention to the noise outside.

Just when she had a headache, she saw the target appear. The charming Ji Ruohuan accompanied her newlywed husband Feng Jue to the banquet tonight.

She took a deep breath, waiting for the opportunity to approach them.

While observing the other party, she unexpectedly remembered that Bingxin had said that the person Ji Ruohuan originally liked was Sima Langri. For Sima Langri, she could even betray Feng Jue; but for some reason, Ji Ruohuan suddenly changed her mind and actually betrayed Sima Langri, only to return to Feng Jue's arms.

She wanted to know, when the beautiful Ji Ruohuan liked Sima Langri, did he ever have feelings for her? The other party was so beautiful. Just by looking at Ji Ruohuan's smile, she knew that few men could escape Ji Ruohuan's female charm; so, Sima Langri was very likely to have liked Ji Ruohuan at the beginning.

Thinking that Sima Langri had liked other women, her heart began to sour. Jealous, she knew she shouldn't judge Ji Ruohuan because of this, but because of Sima Langri, she understood that she could no longer like Ji Ruohuan.

"Sigh! Women are really terrible animals." Shen Qingxin sighed longly, couldn't help but feel, and could only let jealousy make her heart ugly!

And was this change good or bad for her? She didn't know, and didn't dare to think.

She hid herself in the corner, trying not to attract attention, little did she know that her undisguised observational gaze had already aroused the attention of Ji Ruohuan and Feng Jue.

【5-19】 She saw Ji Ruohuan lean over and say something intimately to Feng Jue, and then saw Feng Jue nod and smile and leave, while Ji Ruohuan walked to the balcony alone.

She saw Ji Ruohuan lean in and whisper something intimate to Feng Jue, then saw Feng Jue nod, smile, and leave, while Ji Ruohuan walked toward the balcony all by herself.

Opportunity not to be missed, Shen Qingxin immediately chased after her, following Ji Ruohuan's footsteps to the balcony.

Ji Ruohuan's beautiful phoenix eyes looked Shen Qingxin up and down. "What do you want with me?" Recently, she finally knew of Shen Qingxin's existence and understood that she was the owner of the ring on Sima Langri's chest.

"Ah!" Shen Qingxin didn't expect the other party to ask her directly. Sure enough, she was discovered. Was her movement too raw and clumsy, or should it be said that the other party was too powerful?

"Staring at me for so long, you wouldn't have nothing to say to me, right?" The charming and soft voice didn't carry a trace of anger, but also contained an aura that couldn't be ignored.

"I... I want to ask you, is the other half of the Chilong Jade Lock on you?" Forget it, she went all out, and asked directly if she had something to say.

"Are you here to snatch the Chilong Jade Lock for Sima Langri?" Ji Ruohuan looked at Shen Qingxin carefully from head to toe again, but after looking, she shook her head and laughed. At a glance, she knew she had no ability. How could she come forward to snatch the Chilong Jade Lock for someone?

"Yes, and no."

"What do you mean?" This was interesting.

"I am indeed here to get the Chilong Jade Lock for Sima Langri, but also for my own happiness." With great courage, Qingxin said all her words.

"Is Sima Langri still the same? Only willing to be with you after having the Chilong Jade Lock? Ha!" Ji Ruohuan raised her eyebrows and sneered disdainfully.

"Please don't use this tone to talk about him." Shen Qingxin couldn't help but jump out to defend the person she loved.

"But what I said is the truth, isn't it? His eyes only have the Chilong Jade Lock, there is no one else at all. What he wants has always been the Chilong Jade Lock, did I say anything wrong?"

【5-33】 "You didn't say anything wrong, but that's because you don't understand him enough, so you misunderstand him; wanting to get the Chilong Jade Lock is a promise he once made, he has to fulfill his mother's last wish." Compared to Ji Ruohuan's aura, she seemed much weaker.

"You aren't wrong, but it's because you don't understand him well enough that you misunderstand him like this; obtaining the Chilong Jade Lock was a promise he once made, and he must fulfill his mother's dying wish." Compared to Ji Ruohuan's imposing manner, she appeared much weaker.

"So what? I don't want to know the reason, and these things have nothing to do with me."

"I know you once loved him!" Seeing her so indifferent, Shen Qingxin couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Once refers to the past. Why are you mentioning these to me now? Bringing charges?"

"No, it's not. I just want to know if the Chilong Jade Lock is on you." She shook her head, knowing her words annoyed Ji Ruohuan, but she couldn't help but want to speak for Sima Langri.

"It's not on me." Ji Ruohuan was rarely kind enough to tell her the truth.

Ji Ruohuan smiled and didn't answer directly.

"I want to get the other half of the Chilong Jade Lock."

"Then rely on your own ability to get it." Ji Ruohuan could understand her mood, the mood of wanting to get it but not being able to, it was truly painful.

"I know." There was no free lunch in the world. It was absolutely impossible for the other party to hand over the Chilong Jade Lock to her for nothing.

"Can I ask you one more thing?" There was one thing she had to know, otherwise she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"You ask." Whether to answer or not was her freedom.

"Langri... did Langri like you?" Gathering her courage, Shen Qingxin finally asked the question she most wanted to know the answer to.

Ji Ruohuan was stunned, and then laughed.

"Please tell me the truth, okay?" Seeing her not answer, Shen Qingxin was anxious.

"Whether he liked me or not, there is a way to know." Let her be a good person once!

"What way?" Shen Qingxin didn't understand. Why didn't she tell her clearly?

"You go and steal a look at his chest, his chest has the answer." She laughed charmingly twice, waved at her, and walked into the room.

"Chest? Answer?" What exactly was hidden in his chest that she didn't know? She was really curious.

"What did Ji Ruohuan say to you just now? She didn't do anything to you, right?" As soon as Ji Ruohuan left, Sima Langri flashed in immediately.

"Langri?" Shen Qingxin was startled and looked at him with wide eyes. When did he come? Why didn't she notice?

"Are you okay?" Sima Langri looked at her from head to toe worriedly to make sure Ji Ruohuan didn't hurt her.

"I'm fine. Why did you think something happened to me?" She was fine!

Hearing her confirm it personally, Sima Langri finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fine. Don't get close to Ji Ruohuan in the future."

"Why?" She still had to get the Chilong Jade Lock, how could she not get close to Ji Ruohuan?

"She is not to be trifled with. You will be swallowed alive by her. By the way, why did you get close to her?" While worrying about her safety, he suddenly remembered that she had no reason to get involved with Ji Ruohuan. Why would two unrelated people suddenly get together? It couldn't be a coincidence. Did Ji Ruohuan specifically look for her, or did she look for Ji Ruohuan herself?

He squinted at her. Sure enough, he saw her guilty expression; her face had already told the truth. She approached Ji Ruohuan herself.

"Tell me the reason." He said in a low voice, not allowing her to escape and not answer.

"I... no special reason, just felt she was very beautiful and attractive." I don't know if a random excuse could fool him?

"Tell the truth." Sima Langri wasn't so easily fooled by her. This time he simply hugged her waist directly, forcing her to answer.

The two faces were extremely close, so close that they could feel the warm breath sprayed by the other party. She wanted to escape, but was intoxicated by it, really not knowing what to do, struggling between saying and not saying.

"Tell me, I want to know the answer." Sima Langri gently coaxed her to tell the truth, understanding his influence on her.

"You... you want to get the Chilong Jade Lock, so I want to help you get it." Stunned, she followed his words and answered.

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Sima Langri let go of his embrace in anger. This matter was what he least wanted to drag her into, hoping she could stay out of it. He didn't expect her to get involved after all!

His curse made her shrink her shoulders in fear, not daring to make a sound.

He turned to face her abruptly, pointed at her nose with his finger, and ordered: "You stop immediately, I don't want you to manage this matter."

"No!" Shen Qingxin refused directly without even thinking.

"What did you say?" He simply wanted to strangle her! Didn't she know the danger of this matter? He didn't want her to get involved, just didn't want her to fall into danger. Did she understand at all?

"I said no, I must help you get the Chilong Jade Lock." She clearly expressed her thoughts boldly.

"Shen Qingxin!" The wild lion roared.

"No matter what you say, I have already intervened in this matter, so I must do it." She insisted on her principles.

Sima Langri didn't know what to do with her for a while. Only then did he truly see her stubbornness.

"Good, tell me, what have you done so far?" He had to talk to her calmly.

Shen Qingxin pursed her lips and didn't want to look back.

"Besides talking face-to-face with Ji Ruohuan, what the hell else have you done, answer me!" He was like a jailer interrogating a prisoner, his tone was extremely bad.

"Nothing!" Shen Qingxin was also angry. She didn't understand why he didn't let her intervene, just felt that he didn't want her to get close, and had always pushed her away, making her feel very uncomfortable.

The sourness in her heart fermented completely after seeing Ji Ruohuan; she thought that when facing Ji Ruohuan, he definitely wouldn't treat Ji Ruohuan with such a bad tone.

"Qingxin, I don't want you to lie to me." Sima Langri couldn't do anything about her, sighed longly, and the original severe tone softened after seeing her hurt expression. He couldn't ask anything at all.

"Nothing." She indeed didn't lie to him, just didn't want to tell him.

"You are as stubborn as a donkey. I finally truly saw it today." Another long sigh, Sima Langri helplessly took her into his arms and kissed her on the top of her hair.

Shen Qingxin was originally resisting, but under his strong attitude that didn't allow resistance, she had to lean on his chest, sulking by herself.

Who was like a liar? He was like a stupid frog, not understanding at all that everything she did was for him.

"What should I do with you?" Surface-level asking her, actually asking himself. In the situation of getting closer and closer to her, he found it really difficult to push her away again. His heart had long been unable to leave her. Did she understand?

She said dully: "If you don't know what to do with me, then let go and let me do it."

"No, it's too dangerous." Just imagining the danger she might encounter, he hugged her tighter in fear, not allowing her to take risks.

"I'm not afraid!" No matter what danger he would encounter, she didn't care at all.

"You are not afraid, I am afraid." Gently rubbing her hair with his chin, Sima Langri said his inner fear.

Was he caring for her? The hurt emotion was gone, and instead, a trace of joy filled her chest. Did she forget to confirm something important?

The words Ji Ruohuan said before leaving unexpectedly surfaced in her mind: You go and steal a look at his chest, his chest has the answer. She wanted to know the answer, wanted to know if he had liked Ji Ruohuan, so she wanted to look at his chest, she must! But... look at his chest?!

Just thinking about what method to use to steal a look at his chest made her "bang," and her cheeks immediately became as red as fire.

Could she do it? She was very skeptical.

Sima Langri didn't know her thoughts, and his heart kept thinking about how to make her safer; if he could, he really wanted to build a fortress for her that was completely unaffected and unharmed by the outside environment, so that she could stay in it safely. He was considering whether to forcibly carry her back to the Shen Family and ask her parents to watch her tightly, lest she do something that would endanger her own safety!?

But the feeling she gave him now was that he couldn't grasp her anymore, and she was about to fly out of his palm. This taste was not good for him at all, far more uncomfortable than watching the Chilong Jade Lock fall into Sima She's hands.

Her small hand climbed onto his chest secretly, searching gently.

But her movement had a completely different cognition in his feeling. He looked at the person in his arms in shock. She... was this teasing him?

"Qingxin, your hand..." He cleared his throat, wanting himself not to be hot-blooded, because the time was wrong and the place was wrong, he had to calm down.

"Ah?" Discovered! She quickly pretended that nothing happened and smiled at him charmingly.

This smile made Sima Langri unable to extricate himself on the spot. His hand gently stroked her soft face, his heart moved. "Qingxin, don't smile at me like this again." He warned her in a low, hoarse voice.

"Why?" Was her smile not good-looking?

"Because you smile at me like this, it will make me lose control."

"I like you losing control, I don't like seeing you like a jailer watching yourself tightly every day." Knowing the method to make him lose control was really good.

She smiled at him charmingly again, pure and tempting. This time, she mischievously stood on tiptoe and left a thin kiss like a butterfly wing on his pursed lips.

"Qingxin, don't play with fire." Sima Langri's breath was heavier, as if he couldn't stand the temptation.

Damn it! It seemed that he had already given her the best weapon to deal with him.

"I want..." Not allowing him to escape, she kissed his lips again, and then laughed, looking at the desire mixed with a little helplessness in his eyes, she laughed and wanted to leave his embrace.

"Don't try to test a man's patience, absolutely don't." Sima Langri, who was provoked by the raging desire, didn't allow her to escape. His large palm clamped her waist tighter, and his thin lips sprayed hot breath on her lips, one puff and one suck, constantly provoking her senses.

Shen Qingxin knew her heartbeat was accelerating. She lit the fire, so she had to clean it up herself. But should she call stop now? She understood that even if she called stop now, he wouldn't make things difficult for her. He was such a gentleman, so her answer was—no!

She had been a good girl for too long, occasionally she had to be bad to the person she loved once, just once!

"Have you... been enduring for a long time?" She asked in a low, tempting voice.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, this has to be told to me by you personally." Her small hand provocatively drew circles on his chest, one circle after another, writing her longing.

"You won't want to know the answer." Sima Langri grabbed the small hand that kept lighting fire on him, stopping her from adding fuel to the fire.

She answered very seriously. "I want." She leaned over and gave him another kiss. This kiss was no longer like a dragonfly touching the water, but followed the kiss he had given her before, kissing him hotly, and returning everything he had taught her one by one.

Sima Langri groaned uncontrollably, his large palm firmly fixed behind her head, deepening this kiss.

Melodious music came from the room, as well as some laughter, which didn't affect the two people hiding in the darkness outside the room at all.

The hungry lips and tongues soon found each other, and then intertwined and chased, igniting the fire in their bodies even more vigorously.

"You've learned to be bad..." The passionate kiss moved from her lips to her ears.

"Hmm..." She didn't care much and hummed, closing her eyes to feel the stormy waves he brought.

"You make me at a loss..." No matter how detailed the plan was, it would fail once it reached her. Did she know how much he wanted to protect her?

"That's very good, otherwise you would always have the upper hand." Only then did she confirm that her change was not wrong.

"The one who really has the upper hand has never been me, you just didn't notice." He shook his head and denied, his lips stopping on her cute shell-like ears, grinding and grinding.

"Is that so?" Obviously, she didn't believe him.

"Yes." If he was the one with the upper hand, he wouldn't feel painful.

"I don't believe it..."

"Shut up, I want you to feel me well." Not wanting her to be distracted and argue with him, and also for the sake of a man's face, he simply said in a bad voice, sealing her mouth with his lips, lest the two of them argue, and the sentimental atmosphere would be destroyed.

His lips firmly sealed her mouth, making her unable to speak; and through the sweetness he brought, he made her forget all the words she wanted to say and wanted to oppose him, intoxicatedly immersing herself in his hot kiss.

The feeling in his arms was so beautiful that she almost couldn't bear to leave. Her snow-white small arms hooked him tighter, allowing the two to deepen this kiss.

Joyful sighs, happy groans, quietly escaped from their mouths, as if they couldn't bear the excessive passion and panted heavily.

After finally ending this kiss, Sima Langri and Shen Qingxin leaned their foreheads against each other, noses against noses, silently feeling each other's thick, turbid breath and short, rapid breathing.

Passionate black eyes looked straight at her, the palms holding her were hot and hot, and there was a voice in his heart shouting that he must get her.

Yes, he wanted to get her, wanted to for a long, long time. The persistence he once had now seemed not so important anymore. He even forgot why he was so persistent not to be with her at the beginning.

What Chilong Jade Lock, what promise, tonight, he didn't want to remember any of it. He only wanted to feel her, possess her.

Gently holding her small hand, his eyes only had her, he just wanted to take her away from here quickly.

Shen Qingxin was bewitched by his charming eyes. She only had his existence in her eyes. No matter where he wanted to take her, she was willing to follow him.

Bursts of whispers and laughter seemed to come from her ears, but she couldn't see or hear them anymore. Let others say whatever they wanted, those were not important at all.

They were like lovers in love, holding hands and leaving, unable to hold anyone else in their eyes. Everyone at the scene saw it, and everyone was guessing, this pair of men and women who once had an engagement, after going around a big circle, finally ended up together. It should be said that it was a marriage destined by heaven! No matter how you resist or escape, what should be yours will always belong to you, and no one else can snatch it away. ===== CHAPTER 6 =====

Whispers and snickers seemed to drift into her ears, but she could no longer see or hear them. Let others say what they would; none of that mattered at all.

The two of them were like lovers in the heat of passion, their eyes no longer able to hold anyone else as they walked away hand in hand. Everyone present saw it, and everyone was guessing: these two, who had once been engaged, had gone in a big circle only to end up together after all. It must be said that their marriage was destined by fate! No matter how you resist or evade, what is meant to be yours will always belong to you, and no one else can snatch it away.
