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

Chapter 342

Five days after Nalan Jingwen left Baiji with the remaining 50,000 troops, news came that the Baiji court had undergone a major reshuffle, and Shen Xi had died suddenly in her residence. She was not discovered until the next day, and there was nothing that could be done. It seemed like an accident, but whether it was or not, no one knew.

The next day, Xiao Jin proposed to retire and return to his hometown. The new emperor agreed without hesitation, while Xiao Congyu was promoted several ranks and became the Minister of Works.

Nalan Jingwen was not surprised by this result. Given Changsheng's nature, he would definitely eliminate anyone who could threaten his position. The only thing that surprised her was that he did not take action against Xiao Congyu, but instead promoted her official rank. Nalan Jingwen did not care whether there was any foul play involved. She no longer wanted to get involved in Baiji's matter.

"Ah Wen, are you saying that the new emperor of Baiji is the same Crane State Preceptor who serves Nangong Yu'an?"

Nalan Jing paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked at him, "You also know Nangong Yu'an?"

Chi Chenyi avoided her gaze and nodded casually, "Yes, I've heard a little about it."

His voice was calm, but it seemed as if he was deliberately concealing something. Nalan Jingwen glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

In the following days, Nalan Jingwen clearly sensed that Chi Chenyi was absent-minded, always staring blankly at one spot, as if he had something on his mind, until Chi Chenyi suggested that he leave for a while.

"How long will you be gone?"

"The clan elders are urging me to come back as soon as I finish this business. Awen, please wait for me, okay?"

He held her in his arms, boldly nuzzling his cheek against her neck, then moving upwards, and finally gently caressing her face with his lips. The soft touch made Chi Chenyi linger, and he was bolder than he had been a hundred years ago.

Nalan Jingwen turned his head and kissed his lips. Chi Chenyi was stunned, his breathing became a little erratic, and he lowered his eyes in a slightly flustered manner to hide the passion in them.

"Do you need my help?"

Chi Chenyi shook his head, his body stiffening. He wanted to escape, but Nalan Jingwen held him tightly around the waist, preventing him from moving. The two bodies could only press close together.

“Ah Wen…”

The rest of his words were swallowed by a gentle kiss. His slender, fair body trembled slightly as he was held in her palm. Low, ambiguous sobs escaped intermittently. In the throes of passion, the woman embraced his limp body and whispered in his ear, "Don't lie to me."

The person in his arms was tightly bound, trembling uncontrollably. Unable to find a way to restrain him, he could only shake his head haphazardly, weeping and begging, his voice lingering, wet, and captivating.

The woman reluctantly let go, the body in her arms stiffening, her eyes unfocused, her slender fingers still tightly gripping the woman's sleeve.

His clothes were disheveled, revealing glimpses of his chest. His fair chest rose and fell, covered in fragrant sweat, his cheeks flushed, and his moist lips parted slightly as he breathed heavily.

Nalan Jingwen's eyes darkened slightly. He lowered his head and kissed his lips, then hugged him tighter, waiting for him to calm down.

Chi Chenyi leaned against her, his body going limp, and buried his head in her chest.

“Ah Wen…”

"If there's anything you can't solve, you can ask me for help."

Nalan Jing heard his calm voice as he tugged at Nalan Jing's sweat-dampened hair.

"It's nothing serious, I can handle it myself. I'll come find you in Fengtian after I've taken care of it, okay?"

Nalan Jingwen looked down at him, his emotions unreadable.

"That's what you said last time."

He said the same thing when his people were massacred last time.

Chi Chenyi's body stiffened. He naturally knew what she was talking about, but he didn't expect that after so many years, she would still remember that matter. It made him feel a little dazed. Time has passed, but it is still something to cherish.

He clearly remembered every day he spent with his Ah Wen, cherishing and longing for it.

"Trust me this time, okay?"

He looked up, his shimmering eyes fixed on her. Nalan Jingwen fell silent for a moment, saying nothing.

After a long silence, he finally said, "You mustn't get hurt."

Chi Chenyi raised his eyebrows and sat up to kiss her cheek. Nalan Jingwen's eyes showed a hint of a smile, which made him lose his mind.

……

After Chi Chenyi left, Nalan Jingwen simply ordered the 50,000-strong army to proceed as planned, while he himself rode his horse day and night back to Fengtian, arriving ahead of schedule.

Outside Fengtian City, however, a familiar figure was spotted.

Actually, she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Rong Hengyu, but when she looked around him, she didn't see Liu Qishan and the others. It must be that Rong Hengyu hadn't told them that he was back.

She abandoned Ma Fei and stepped forward, embracing the golden figure in her arms. Rong Hengyu relaxed completely, wrapping his arms around her, the tightening of his arms a testament to his unspoken longing.

Nalan Jingwen looked down at his slightly haggard face and felt a pang of heartache. "You've lost weight."

Rong Hengyu's phoenix eyes reflected her face, and his thin lips curved into a tiny arc.

"The prince has also lost weight."

"Why aren't you resting in your residence and waiting for my return?"

"From the day she received the prince's letter, Hengyu counted down the days until the prince returned, never daring to forget for a moment."

The feeling of waiting is unpleasant, but when you see the person in front of you, all that feeling really doesn't matter.

Nalan Jingwen felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She wanted to lower her head and kiss him, but she was afraid that her dusty appearance would soil the precious man.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Rong Hengyu stood on tiptoe and kissed her lips. Nalan Jing was taken aback. Although she was a little surprised, she quickly reacted, held the back of his head, and deepened the kiss.

Rong Hengyu's kiss was passionate, yet tinged with a hint of madness, like a wild beast devouring its prey. It condensed all his longing into this kiss, silently recounting the many sleepless nights and restless nights he had spent tossing and turning.

There were still people watching outside the city, so Nalan Jingwen simply picked him up and prepared to mount his horse and return to the mansion, but Rong Hengyu grabbed his collar.

Nalan Jingwen looked down at him with some confusion, and Rong Hengyu said, "Your subject does not wish to return to the manor yet."

"Why?"

Rong Hengyu lowered his phoenix eyes slightly and said softly, "I want to spend more time with Your Highness."

Nalan Jingwen instantly understood that once they returned, he would no longer be the only one by her side. Rong Hengyu had always been sensible and understanding. Even though Liu Qishan and the others had intentionally given them time to be alone, he still wouldn't be too indulgent and would truly keep her by his side.

She also understood why only Rong Hengyu came out of the city to pick her up; he actually had his own selfish motives.

Nalan Jingwen softened a bit and didn't refuse, "Then shall we go back tomorrow, shall we?"

Where does Hengyu want to go?

If she were to enter the city, word would likely spread quickly. Even if Liu Qishan and his group didn't come looking for her, Cheng He would bring people to find her. Therefore, she could only stay outside the city for now.

She pondered where she could go until Rong Hengyu said, "A few days ago, I bought a house outside the city. Would Your Highness like to take a look?"

It turns out they had prepared all along, just waiting for her to come back. How could she refuse?

Meeting Nalan Jingwen's knowing gaze, Rong Hengyu showed no hesitation, remaining completely open and honest.
