The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 107: Accidental or Deliberate
"I'm sorry I lost you."

The guilt in his eyes seemed to overflow as he spoke. He held her hand, but she was a little confused, because she really had no impression of what he said.

It took Lin Mowan a long while to react. She moved her hands and realized belatedly that they were holding each other again, and she didn't know when the distance between them became so close.

From a distance, it looked like the two of them were hugging each other, which made people feel ambiguous and dreamy. She quickly broke free from his hand and quickly took a few steps back, but when she raised her eyes, she was met with his sad and hurt eyes.

Seeing her take half a step back, he sighed and said dejectedly: "Sure enough, I really shouldn't have brought up these things in advance." As he said this with a self-deprecating smile, he stepped back distantly.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan hurriedly explained: "No, Your Highness, I just don't remember it. Please give me some time, and when I remember it, I will definitely remember it."

Gongshu Beicheng didn't say anything, but just looked at her with complicated eyes, as if he was afraid that if he moved away for a second, she would disappear from his sight.

Later, the two of them strolled for a long time until it was getting dark. Lin Mowan finally returned to the Jiang family. Gongshu Beicheng personally saw her off to the carriage and left only after watching the carriage go away.

On the way back, Lin Mowan's emotions couldn't stop churning, with confusion, happiness, and even a hint of doubt.

When the two returned to the courtyard, it was already getting late. They got off the carriage, walked into the mansion, and crossed the corridor. Before they were halfway there, they met Jiang Wenqing who had just returned from Gongshu Tingyue's courtyard.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned for a moment, but Lin Mowan was the first to react, quickly sorting out her complicated emotions, and smiled slightly: "Father is really busy."

Whenever she met Jiang Wenqing in private, Lin Mowan would always speak sarcastically. Jiang Wenqing felt a headache and wanted to teach her a lesson, but thinking about his upcoming plan, he decided to endure it for the time being.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenqing just sneered, flicked his sleeves heavily and left without leaving a word.

Lin Mowan didn't care. After all, she wanted to disgust Jiang Wenqing, so as long as her goal was achieved, it was fine.

After returning to the room, taking a shower and changing clothes, Lin Mowan quickly went to the couch to rest. However, thinking about what happened during the day, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

In fact, she did not completely disbelieve Gongshu Beicheng's words, but she did not believe them all either. She could feel that they should really know each other, but as for whether it was the kind of relationship he said, she was a little skeptical.

After all, it had been three years. If he really cared about her so much, why hadn't he looked for her in these three years? With his means and connections as the King of Guangning, he was second only to Shen Weiyuan. He didn't believe that he really had no clues.

If they hadn't met at the hunting ground, if Lin Mowan hadn't shown that much surprise, would he not have looked for her?

If it was really as she thought, Lin Mowan still didn't quite understand what he was trying to do.

Gongshu Beicheng is different from Pei Jingjian. Pei Jingjian approached her and gained her trust in order to seek wealth and power, but Gongshu Beicheng has everything. Is this just a game?

She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't quite understand...

Perhaps she was lost in thought, and she did not notice someone approaching from behind, until a hand was gently placed on her shoulder. She suddenly came to her senses, quickly stood up, and raised her hand to let go, but her wrist was tightly clamped by another big hand.

With the bright moonlight coming in from the window, Lin Mowan could see the man standing in front of the bed. It was Shen Weiyuan. She instantly released the strength in her hands, and the fierceness and decisiveness on her face immediately disappeared. She knelt on the bed and called out weakly, "Second Master."

Shen Weiyuan didn't say anything, but just loosened his hand that was clamped on her wrist, and instead hugged her waist through a thin layer of gauze, pulled her towards him, and whispered: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed."

Lin Mowan didn't dare to speak after hearing this. She just leaned over his chest and shook her head: "No."

Shen Weiyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and somehow, even his tone became a little colder: "Oh? Are you sure everything is fine?"

"..."

Hearing him ask this, Lin Mowan knew that he must know everything that happened to him today. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him or speak.

He reached out and pinched her face, pressing his palm against her chin, forcing her to look up. She lowered her eyes, but he leaned down slightly to stare at her, and ordered in a cold voice: "Look at me."

Lin Mowan's heart trembled slightly, she was afraid and reluctant, but she had to slowly raise her eyelids and look into his eyes which were as cold as the bottomless abyss.

"Do you remember what you promised me?" he asked her.

Obviously, what Shen Weiyuan was talking about must be about Gongshu Beicheng. Lin Mowan frowned and didn't dare to speak at first, but he couldn't help but tighten his hand around her waist, pinching the soft flesh around her waist and causing pain. She could only say helplessly, "Remember... remember."

He stopped pinching her hand, but did not let her go. Instead, he quietly waited for him to repeat the following words. After another short silence, she suppressed the fear in her heart and said, "Don't get too close to him, otherwise you will be unable to get away."

After she finished speaking, Shen Weiyuan's expression did not improve, but he loosened his hand that was tightly clamped around her waist for the first time. Just when Lin Mowan thought he would let her go, he suddenly took out something from somewhere and handed it to her. He came close to her and asked, "What is this?"

Looking at the token given by Uncle Bei Cheng, Lin Mowan's heart sank to the bottom again. She gritted her teeth and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, Second Master, please listen to my explanation."

As she spoke, her voice couldn't stop trembling. She wasn't pretending; she was really scared.

Shen Weiyuan had a cold expression on his face, and he said, "Okay, I'll listen to your explanation." But physically, he had already moved towards Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan was forced to move back, so he simply got on the bed, until she had nowhere to retreat and was trapped in his arms.

He raised his hand, gently ruffled her hair, and whispered, "Why is this thing in your hand? You clearly remember what I said, but you still went to see him privately. That proves that you deliberately disobeyed my will. If you can't come up with a reason that can convince me, then I, Lin Mowan, don't need disobedient people, do you know that?"

She knew, of course she knew, that if she didn't satisfy him, he would kill her, and that was nothing, he should have done so after that night three years ago.

But not now, she hasn't finished what she wanted to do, she can't die yet.

As she thought about it, whether out of fear or something else, she burst into tears unconsciously, and the tears slid silently down the corners of her eyes. When Shen Weiyuan saw her like this, a trace of throbbing flashed in his eyes.

His eyes darkened, and his expression became uglier. Lin Mowan secretly pinched her thigh, and then she came to her senses. She regained her rationality and explained, "He gave me the things, but I definitely didn't mean to take the initiative to find him."
