After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 114 - I Want Your Heart

Chapter 114: I Want Your Heart

Luo Qingyu gently pushed the door open.

She immediately saw Jiang Huai and Bai Li on the bed, cuddling each other as if seeking warmth from one another on a cold winter’s day.

Jiang Huai was already asleep, but Bai Li was not. Hearing the door open, she looked at Luo Qingyu with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Of course, she had no moral high ground. Although the demons of the Western Region didn’t care much for formalities, she was well aware that Luo Qingyu was Jiang Huai’s fiancee. Her lying there with Luo Qingyu’s fiance could rightfully provoke rage.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyu’s eyes were soft. She whispered.

“Is Brother Jiang Huai asleep?”

Bai Li nodded very lightly.

“Then you sleep first, I’ll come over later.”

Luo Qingyu’s voice was gentle as she slightly closed the door and turned to walk to the courtyard where Luo Yueguan was looking up at the moon.

......

Luo Qingyu sat down opposite Luo Yueguan.

Luo Yueguan lowered her head, now revealing a hint of guilt.

“Mother, did you say something unpleasant to Brother Jiang Huai?”

Luo Qingyu’s eyes fixed on Luo Yueguan.

Luo Yueguan’s eyes filled with more guilt, and she lowered her head slightly, recounting everything she had said to Jiang Huai. After finishing, she muttered softly, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Pl “If you think mother said somehing wrong… I can apologize to him tomorrow.”

Luo Qingyu was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head gently

“Mother, what I want is not just to get married.”

Luo Yueguan was taken aback, looking at Luo Qingyu in astonishment. Luo Qingyu didn’t show any anger or blame, just looked at Luo Yueguan tenderly and said softly.

“I care about the marriage contract because I know Brother Jiang Huai is a responsible person. If he marries me, I will be his legitimate wife, and no matter what, I should be the most important person in his heart.”

“But if we push Brother Jiang Huai too hard, what’s the point of getting married? If his heart isn’t with me, even if we’re married, it’s just a formality. What I want is not just a marriage certificate, but Brother Jiang Huai’s heart.”

“That’s why last night I wanted to tempt Brother Jiang Huai to do something. If he really did something to me, he would be more partial to me. Aunt Chu is unwilling to give him what I can, and Brother Jiang Huai will gradually understand my feelings. Actually, the reason Brother Jiang Huai is ambiguously close with Junior Sister Wanwan and seems to be too intimate with Bai Li is ultimately because he doesn’t like me that much.”

What sounded like a cruel statement was calmly spoken by Luo Qingyu.

“At first, I was very upset when I thought about it, but then I realized that Brother Jiang Huai wasn’t like this at the beginning. He was forced into it by Aunt Chu… Brother Jiang Huai initially only liked Aunt Chu, and it was Aunt Chu who forced him to like me. Otherwise, he would have always been devoted to Aunt Chu. This seems to be both good and bad for me. If Brother Jiang Huai isn’t promiscuous, then he will only like Aunt Chu for his whole life. But if he is promiscuous, it seems possible that other women might appear in his life in the future…”

“I’ve already decided that no matter how many women appear by Brother Jiang Huai’s side in the future, I will always be the one he likes the most. That’s much more important than a marriage certificate.”

Luo Yueguan suddenly realized that she really didn’t understand Luo Qingyu at all, because Luo Qingyu seemed to have easily figured out many things she hadn’t.

“Do you like Jiang Huai that much?”

“Why shouldn’t I like Brother Jiang Huai?”

At this moment, Luo Qingyu’s eyes seemed to shine.

“When I was at my saddest, Brother Jiang Huai was there to cheer me up. Mother, you don’t understand. When you like someone, just being by their side, even doing nothing, can make you so happy. I want to be with Brother Jiang Huai for a lifetime, even if it means being a little dog circling around him, I’m willing.”

“Why?” Luo Yueguan didn’t understand.

In these six hundred years, she had hardly ever looked up to any man, or rather, she believed that both men and women were inherently despicable and greedy. No one was nobler than anyone else, and so-called love was just a lie. No one could abandon their selfish and greedy nature; they just wanted to get what they wanted from the other person. Therefore, she never believed in the elusive love.

Who could unconditionally fall in love with another person?

“Love is just that unreasonable,” Luo Qingyu blinked innocently.

“So… please, mother, when Brother Jiang Huai wakes up tomorrow, could you say some nice things about him?”

This time Luo Yueguan didn’t hesitate and nodded gently, “Okay.”

“Then I’ll go sleep with Brother Jiang Huai now, okay? You should sleep early too.”

Luo Qingyu stood up, her steps light.

Luo Yueguan watched her back, suddenly feeling an indescribable sense of defeat.

She realized she had never really understood her daughter, nor herself. She always lived in such contradiction, struggling again and again, yet entangling herself more each time.

Luo Qingyu tiptoed into the room.

Bai Li was slightly uneasy. Luo Qingyu came to the bed and winked at her, “Can I sleep with Sister Bai Li?”

“Of course…”

So Luo Qingyu carefully climbed into bed, lying beside Bai Li.

Now three people were lying under the same blanket. Jiang Huai was still sound asleep, and Bai Li, upon Luo Qingyu’s arrival, had stopped hugging Jiang Huai. Now squeezed in the middle, she felt a little flustered.

“Sister Bai Li smells so nice.” Luo Qingyu snuggled up to Bai Li, her voice soft.

“Can I hug you to sleep?”

“Can I hug you too?”

“Yes, yes.” Luo Qingyu turned to her side, and Bai Li’s leg hooked onto her again. The two girls lay face to face, Luo Qingyu’s eyes warm.

“Are you ready to sleep, Sister Bai Li?”

“Not particularly sleepy yet.”

“Then can you tell me more stories about you and Brother Jiang Huai in the secret realm?”

“Sure.”

And so the two girls chatted late into the night until Luo Qingyu’s eyelids began to droop. Her little face buried in Bai Li’s chest, she murmured sleepily.

“Goodnight, Sister Bai Li.”

......

When the first rays of dawn fell on his face, Jiang Huai groggily opened his eyes. He lifted the covers and sat up, looking down to find Bai Li and Luo Qingyu lying beside him.

Both girls were in bathrobes, loosely tied, revealing large areas of skin. Bai Li’s snow-white belly rose and fell gently with her breath, her belly button exposed, while Luo Qingyu’s robe was even more revealing, with her full chest mostly exposed. He hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover them both and began to try to remember what had happened last night.

He vaguely remembered listening to Luo Yueguan say a bunch of things that made him want to flee as quickly as possible.

But how did it end up with both girls in his bed?

Jiang Huai carefully got dressed, but even this slight noise woke the light-sleeping Bai Li, who looked at Jiang Huai.

“You’re awake.”

Then Luo Qingyu also woke up, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. The blanket Jiang Huai had just placed on her slipped down, and she looked at Jiang Huai with a smile.

“Brother Jiang Huai is awake, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

“No, why are you here?”

“I came back after bathing last night and saw Brother Jiang Huai asleep here. I asked Sister Bai Li if I could sleep with her, and she said yes, so I slept here too.”

Luo Qingyu innocently replied.

“I see…”

Jiang Huai felt a bit guilty, yet he didn’t see a hint of blame in Luo Qingyu’s eyes. Luo Qingyu’s fingertips gently grasped the bathrobe, sliding it off before she began to put on her underwear. After dressing, she turned towards Jiang Huai, who carefully tied the drawstring at the back of her neck.

Then, as if no one else was present, Bai Li began to dress. She turned her back to Jiang Huai, who hesitated for a moment before tremblingly fastening her buttons.

It was strange, why wasn’t Luo Qingyu angry?

Logically, she should have been, but it seemed that after seeing Bai Li, aside from asserting her dominance, Luo Qingyu was unexpectedly gentle towards her, perfectly playing the role of a sweet younger sister. Jiang Huai was baffled. Luo Qingyu stood up, opened the wardrobe, and put on a light purple Hanfu. The majority of the garment was made of a gauzy material, subtly revealing her collarbones and the legs beneath the skirt’s hem.

Bai Li, on the other hand, donned a sleeveless black cheongsam that outlined her slender figure just right, with the slit revealing her smooth, fair thighs.

Luo Qingyu’s room still contained dresses Jiang Huai had given her. She took out a pair of transparent, ultra-thin white silk stockings that went over the knee. Then, moving closer, she poked Jiang Huai’s chest with her pale toes and looked up at him with a coquettish plea.

“Brother Jiang Huai, would you help me put on my stockings?”

Jiang Huai took the stockings from her hand, carefully rolled them up, and slid them up to her calves. Luo Qingyu lay on the bed, lifting her legs high.

She put on the peep-toe high heels Jiang Huai had given her and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair. When Jiang Huai was around, Luo Qingyu always made sure to dress beautifully.
