Chapter 333: Side Story: Fierce Neighbor Chapter 52

Side Story: Fierce Neighbor Chapter 52

Last night Yin Fengxuan suddenly ran away; although Jin Jingwen fumed for a while afterward, even had someone split the bench, and finally felt a little relieved, the lingering resentment still wouldn't pass.

But Jin Jingwen isn't a woman who likes to nitpick, so to calm herself she constantly whispers encouragement to herself whenever she has a moment:

Hmph, I don't care!

It's just a kiss—treat it like a mad‑dog bite!

He just ran away, what's the big deal? Besides, even if he hadn't run, I'd have smashed him anyway, so it's no issue at all!

Jin Jingwen recited it over and over in her mind, but the effect was inexplicably unclear; the more she muttered, the deeper her resentment grew!

During the day in the palace, while everyone chatted, Jin Jingwen forgot the incident, but now hearing Yin Fengxuan return, her anger flared again.

Jin Jingwen's complexion turned sour, but her usual strong control kept it from being obvious. Still, a trace of dangerous aura leaked from her now and then, making Dong'er step back cautiously, as if fearing she might unleash a typhoon's tail!

While Jin Jingwen was steadying herself, Yin Fengxuan strode in like a gust of wind. As soon as he entered and glanced at Jin Jingwen sitting by the dining table, he froze, his handsome face involuntarily flushing.

Clearly, the slow‑witted Yin Fengxuan recalled last night's incident and felt embarrassed. His whole face turned beet red; instinctively he wanted to turn and run, but dared not, so he stood dumbfounded in the doorway… as awkward as could be!

Yin Fengxuan considered himself a veteran in love, yet now he acted like a lovesick youngster. At the same time, Jin Jingwen wasn't any better; seeing him walk in, her prepared composure collapsed, a blush spreading on her face, her eyes flickering left and right…

Fortunately, Jin Jingwen's self‑control was strong; the brief shyness was quickly suppressed. She cleared her throat unconsciously, then shot a sharp glance at Yin Fengxuan.

"Prince, didn't you leave? Why are you back? I was counting on a few more days without seeing your shadow~!"

Jin Jingwen's words were clearly sarcastic; Yin Fengxuan caught it, and because he was already embarrassed, he let out two awkward dry laughs.

"Um… hehe… actually, actually, madam, it's a misunderstanding… actually last night, last night I…"

"Misunderstanding? Hehe~, Prince, you're joking, aren't you~!"

"Um, not that it isn't, it's definitely a misunderstanding! Actually I was just… not paying attention, so I…"

"Not paying attention?"

As Yin Fengxuan's words grew more off‑key, Jin Jingwen arched an eyebrow. Seeing her about to lose it, Yin Fengxuan didn't think and blurted out,

"Yes, yes, yes, I was just not paying attention! Madam, you have to believe me, I really didn't do it on purpose, and I had no intention of taking liberties with you, it's just…"

Yin Fengxuan originally wanted to say, it's just that you were so beautiful, I couldn't help but kiss you!

Unfortunately, his earlier words sounded too dubious, so when Jin Jingwen heard that she stopped listening, her eyes widened, and an indescribable fury erupted like a volcano!

"Damn it, Yin Fengxuan, are you even speaking human language?!"

"Are you saying the kiss was forced, or what?"

Originally, compared to being suddenly kissed by Yin Fengxuan, his sudden running away afterward was the real reason Jin Jingwen was angry.

Clearly, Yin Fengxuan's focus wasn't this; he thought Jin Jingwen was still fuming over the sudden kiss, so he kept emphasizing it. Unfortunately, his mind often wanders, and in a crisis his tongue became a wild horse, running three thousand li and further provoking Jin Jingwen!

Meanwhile, Dong'er standing nearby and the sycophant Lin Quan who followed Yin Fengxuan in were both stunned—

What the hell!

That's a lot of info!

But now…

Instinctively, Dong'er and Lin Quan both glanced at Yin Fengxuan, then turned to Jin Jingwen, and quietly… lowered their heads and pretended to be dead!

For a moment, the huge room fell silent. Yin Fengxuan, stunned by Jin Jingwen's sudden glare, fell silent, while Dong'er and Lin Quan slipped silently into a corner…

No one spoke; Jin Jingwen stared intently at Yin Fengxuan, but when she met his nervous yet innocent eyes and saw the battle marks on his face from last night, she felt a bit deflated, finally pointing a finger sharply at him, then snapping her head around, grabbing her bowl and chopsticks and began eating!

Jin Jingwen turned her anger into appetite, hungrily bowing her head to eat. Clearly she was treating Yin Fengxuan as if he were air. Seeing this, Yin Fengxuan was startled, then glanced left and right, and slowly edged toward the table, eventually noticing Jin Jingwen never looking up, and quietly slipped into the seat beside her!

He managed to sit, but his bottom never settled. Lin Quan and Dong'er, still playing dead in the corner, watched Yin Fengxuan shuffle over; Jin Jingwen didn't spring up to strike, so they both breathed a little relief. Then Dong'er, gathering courage, stepped forward, quietly handed Yin Fengxuan a set of chopsticks and bowl, and slipped out.

Dong'er fled to avoid the disaster, and seeing her run, Lin Quan dared not stay, and also darted out.

……

Dong'er and Lin Quan left. In the blink of an eye, only Yin Fengxuan and Jin Jingwen remained in the room.

Jin Jingwen kept her head down, eating, not even glancing at Yin Fengxuan, yet he still felt a shiver in his gut, occasionally stealing glances at the little woman beside him, noticing her constantly moving mouth, and suddenly recalling the warm, soft feel of her lips last night, his heart fluttered uncontrollably…

He couldn't help it; Yin Fengxuan subtly moved his Adam's apple, swallowed, held his breath a while longer, and seeing Jin Jingwen still ignoring him, he finally couldn't resist, lifted his chopsticks and placed a piece of fish into her bowl.

His flattery was obvious. Yet when a fish piece suddenly appeared in her bowl, Jin Jingwen paused, then shot a fierce stare at Yin Fengxuan.

She said nothing, her gaze fierce, but with a chunk of meat in her mouth puffing her cheeks, to Yin Fengxuan it looked so, not frightening at all, but made him burst into laughter!

Hehe, madam, you're so cute~!

Yin Fengxuan habitually broke into a grin, which made Jin Jingwen want to leap up and beat him, but she held back, twitched her eye corner, and lowered her head to keep eating voraciously.

Jin Jingwen swore to ignore Yin Fengxuan to the end.

Seeing Jin Jingwen's sour expression but no longer hitting anyone, Yin Fengxuan grew bolder, continuously shoveling dish after dish into her bowl until it overflowed like a mountain. Finally, Jin Jingwen snapped, slamming her chopsticks on the table with a "pop" and glared at Yin Fengxuan, spewing…

"Yin, what on earth are you trying to do?"

Jin Jingwen felt she might die of anger. Her joints cracked, and she wanted to tear the damned brat before her limb from limb!

When Jin Jingwen asked that, Yin Fengxuan was taken aback, blinked, and innocently said,

"Huh? What? I'm just serving madam some food~!"

"Who told you to serve me? Can't I use my own hands? Why are you feeding me?"

Jin Jingwen's eyes reddened with anger, and while fuming, she thought of how he had taken advantage of her last night and then claimed he was forced; she felt deeply wronged, gasping heavily, tears nearly spilling.

Jin Jingwen would never admit she was about to cry, but she was so angry she couldn't speak. Even a dimwitted Yin Fengxuan, seeing her eyes redden and water, felt a shiver and panicked.

"Eh, eh, eh, I'm sorry, madam, I'm sorry, can't that be enough? Why are you still… eh, eh, eh, how about you hit me, hit me hard, would that work? Come on, come on…"

He had seen Jin Jingwen lose her temper and beat people, but never her crying. Hearing that, Jin Jingwen instantly became displeased, glared and shouted without thinking,

"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? And what do you mean saying I'm sorry isn't enough? It's your fault! You damned thing, see if I don't beat you to death today!"

She said that, then leapt from her seat, launching a barrage of punches, kicks, even a flash of Nine Yin White Bone Claw, making Yin Fengxuan howl. Finally, when he could take no more, Yin Fengxuan suddenly reached out and…

In terms of raw strength, Yin Fengxuan wasn't necessarily Jin Jingwen's match. But he's still a man and taller, while Jin Jingwen is of typical petite build, so even with low combat value a single embrace instantly sealed her attacks, leaving her immobile!

Now Jin Jingwen flared up again, swinging arms and legs wildly, but Yin Fengxuan was determined not to let go, and after wearing her out he finally couldn't help but yank her neck and shout.

"Damn you, Yin-surname, let go of me, hear me?! I told you to let go, let go quickly!"

At this moment, Jin Jingwen was like a little tiger whose fur had been blown up. And while feeling that soft, indescribable touch, Yin Fengxuan seemed to have his intelligence suddenly return to normal, and all his former amorous-saint attributes were instantly aroused.

"Honey, honey, I was wrong, won't you not be angry? I was wrong, it's all my fault!"

"Cut the nonsense, let go of me!"

"If you're not angry, dear, I'll let go!"

"Well, Yin Fengxuan, you still dare to set conditions with me?"

"Anyway, I'm not letting go!"

Yin Fengxuan used the 'Sticking' character secret from the Amorous Saint's Treasure Canon, completely turning himself into a plaster that clings like dog-skin plaster, holding on and refusing to let go. Of course, using this also has a rule: it's okay to be a dog-skin plaster, but you must be an upright and aboveboard dog-skin plaster!

Yin Fengxuan was well versed in this, so at this moment he tightly held Jin Jingwen in his arms with both hands, but dared not take advantage to grope. He just kept admitting his mistake, although he himself didn't even know what he had done wrong!

Yin Fengxuan is, after all, a man; holding on like this, Jin Jingwen really has no recourse. Unless she resorts to force, but even if Yin Fengxuan is a rascal, he's still her man now, and if anything were to happen, it would still be trouble!

So after a brief moment of thought, and given that Jin Jingwen was really worn out from the ordeal, after a while she really stopped. Panting, she then stared hard at the man sitting there, holding her around the waist, even burying his whole head against her body, and then she slapped him on the back of the head.

"Enough, are you done or not? Let go of me, are you trying to strangle me?"

"So you're not angry?"

"Which of your eyes saw me angry?"

"……" Both eyes saw it! Besides, even with your eyes closed you'd know I'm angry, right?!

Yin Fengxuan complained in his heart, but didn't dare say it out loud. After a moment, he indeed felt the little woman in his arms stop moving, so he slowly lifted his head and immediately met Jin Jingwen's bright, snow-like eyes.

Instantly, Yin Fengxuan's little heart fluttered, his face flushing uncontrollably. This made Jin Jingwen unconsciously purse her lips, and just as she was about to put on a stern face to speak, she inadvertently noticed the scratches on his face from where she had grabbed him. Thinking of how this rascal had shown up at the Imperial Prefecture Temple this morning in his official robes, Jin Jingwen suddenly burst out laughing with a "puchi" sound.

Jin Jingwen's laugh instantly dispelled the previous tension. Seeing the little lass in his arms laugh, Yin Fengxuan also breathed a sigh of relief and joined in the laughter. But just then, Jin Jingwen again put on a stern face, pursed her lips, and glared at Yin Fengxuan.

"Ha ha ha, what are you laughing at? Do you even have the nerve to laugh?"

"Um… okay, okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh!"

As he said that, Yin Fengxuan indeed suppressed his foolish grin and put on a serious look. Seeing Yin Fengxuan behave himself, Jin Jingwen satisfiedly shifted her gaze, crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and stared at Yin Fengxuan as she spoke.

"Alright, since you just said you knew you were wrong, let's get down to business… tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"Um… I, I, what did I do wrong, I…"

The serious act he had just put on didn't last a moment; upon being questioned by Jin Jingwen, Yin Fengxuan became confused again.

What did I do wrong? I don't know!

Could it be because of what happened last night? Hmm, it must be that, but no, we already talked about it before, and the effect seems off…

Yin Fengxuan's thoughts began to tangle, but seeing Jin Jingwen's complexion just improve a little, now showing signs of darkening again, he also panicked.

Holy shit, not good! I need to think of a solution fast!

But none of that is right… oh well, whatever, let's just say it first and figure it out later!

Thinking this, Yin Fengxuan then explained how last night Jin Jingwen was too beautiful, how he couldn't resist *, and how he involuntarily impulsed a bit.

Maybe because he was anxious, this time Yin Fengxuan didn't blush, and his speech flowed more smoothly than before. Of course, whether right or wrong, mistakes must be admitted proactively. Upon hearing Yin Fengxuan say this, and so directly, Jin Jingwen instantly felt a bit embarrassed, and her original resentment also faded considerably.

After all, no matter how tough Jin Jingwen is, she's still a woman. And what woman doesn't want to hear that she's beautiful? So Jin Jingwen is naturally no exception.

However, even if Jin Jingwen's anger had subsided inside, her face didn't show much of it. She then slightly pursed her lips and gave a light cough to conceal the hint of embarrassment rising in her heart. After thinking, she again put on a fierce stare and pressed Yin Fengxuan for an answer.

"Cough… well, let's forget about what happened before, I can't be bothered to argue with you! Just consider it as being bitten by a dog… but I ask you, why did you turn and run afterward?"
