Chapter 271: Chapter 271

Back when Tang Zan was still in the Capital, Yan Hengyin already felt that Tang Zan was not a simple person.

If he were just an ordinary Young Master, it would be impossible for him to possess such presence.

He, after all, is a Prince.

His presence surprisingly doesn’t match up to Tang Zan’s.

But when he thought of how Tang Zan had emerged from piles of corpses and seas of blood, he found it understandable.

When he came to his senses, he saw Tang Zan had already left with Pei Shu’er, all the way to the entrance of the dining hall, Tang Zan’s gaze once again passed over.

With just one glance, Yan Hengyin felt a chill all over.

His steps to follow suddenly stopped.

No, Tang Zan certainly can’t be just a fallen Young Master!

When he led his men to chase outside, he found that Tang Zan was already gone, along with Pei Shu’er without a trace.

Yan Hengyin can still remember the backs of the two as they left.

The Pei Shu’er who used to always have him in her eyes, who would look back countless times at each farewell, left with Tang Zan without looking back.

She didn’t glance at him even once during the whole process.

Even when she spoke to him earlier, it was with ridicule.

When had Pei Shu’er ever said such things to him?

Yan Hengyin felt irritated, his heart was heavy.

Could it be that Tang Zan’s grip on her was too strong, that’s why she behaved this way?

Tang Zan held Pei Shu’er’s hand, walking ahead briskly, if anyone could see his eyes, they’d probably run away.

Pei Shu’er felt that Tang Zan was acting a bit odd, her voice gentle, because she was walking too fast, she was slightly panting.

"Tang Zan, what’s wrong?"

Tang Zan didn’t speak, but his grip on Pei Shu’er’s hand tightened a bit.

When they reached a secluded corner, Tang Zan stopped, Pei Shu’er, due to inertia, bumped into his back.

Her forehead was hurting from the bump, rubbing it with her hand, she saw Tang Zan turn around.

He cornered her against the wall, his aura was icy cold, those cold eyes clearly showing anger and jealousy.

"Pei Shu’er, have you seen Yan Hengyin before?"

Pei Shu’er nodded: "Yes, I’ve seen him."

After saying this, she distinctly felt the air pressure around them lower a bit more.

The veins on Tang Zan’s temple were throbbing, he chuckled, turning his head aside, eyes lowered to cover his emotions, a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth.

"I thought you were truly here to see me."

Upon hearing Tang Zan’s suspicious question, Pei Shu’er also became indignant.

"I really came to bring you food, I thought since everyone said the new rice was delicious, you could try it too. If this is what you think, then I won’t come anymore."

After saying this, she looked at Tang Zan’s dark, cold eyes and felt a bit annoyed. She withdrew from his embrace, about to leave.

But Tang Zan grabbed her wrist, pulling her back, pinning her arms against the wall, her back pressed against it again.

Tang Zan suddenly leaned closer, stopping when his lips were only a millimeter away from hers.

His eyes showed annoyance, regret, jealousy, and an urge to devour Pei Shu’er alive.

Then he bit down hard, burying his head, nibbling the back of Pei Shu’er’s neck.

Pei Shu’er gasped, Tang Zan instinctively eased his strength, gently licking the skin.

His hand tightened its embrace around Pei Shu’er’s waist, her floral scent lingered around him.

It was only when they were tightly pressed against each other that Tang Zan felt as if Pei Shu’er truly was his wife.

Pei Shu’er felt Tang Zan’s lips moving over her neck, the strong male pheromones surrounded her, causing a strange feeling, she gently panted.

Just that pant seemed like encouragement, Tang Zan’s lips slowly moved upwards, landing on Pei Shu’er’s earlobe, his teeth lightly grazing it.

His words resembled murmurs, his magnetic voice stirred her ear’s nerves.

"Pei Shu’er, you’d better not betray me. I don’t care what happened between you and Yan Hengyin before, but now, you’re mine."

As he spoke, his magnetic voice carried a hint of breath, extremely sexy to Pei Shu’er’s ears.

Very tempting, very seductive.

Pei Shu’er’s cheek flushed, her hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to push or embrace Tang Zan’s waist.

But Tang Zan’s hand was not honest, moving over Pei Shu’er’s back, she was startled, this was unlike Tang Zan.

Tang Zan’s eyes grew deeper, lifting his head, seeing Pei Shu’er’s red lips, almost wanting to kiss them immediately.

But the previous two times were in haste, if he truly kissed Pei Shu’er now, would it reveal that he had feelings for her?

Her heart, however, belonged to the Third Prince.

And besides, they have such a grudge...

He rested his head on Pei Shu’er’s shoulder, his words muffled, the murderous intent in them diluted a bit, showing a hint of grievance.

"Pei Shu’er, if you have any more dealings with the Third Prince, I will definitely kill you."

Pei Shu’er touched Tang Zan’s head, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Tang Zan, are you jealous?"

It was because of jealousy that he dragged her away, even biting and punishing her.

When she asked, she too felt anxious yet expectant.

She knew what answer she wanted. The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

And was anticipating what answer Tang Zan would give.

Tang Zan’s body froze, then he coldly snorted, unable to voice a denial.

But that cold snort sounded to Pei Shu’er a bit mocking, leading her mouth to form a self-mocking smile.

It was she, her naive sentimentality.

Fortunately, she didn’t say anything excessive, otherwise, both would be embarrassed.

The blush on her face quickly vanished, leaving no trace on her delicate face.

Pei Shu’er said indifferently: "I need to talk to Commander Zhang about the grain situation."

Once these cold words were out, Tang Zan gritted his teeth, his hands gradually released.

In this moment, he felt he must be utterly ridiculous in Pei Shu’er’s heart.

She had already captured him, no matter how much he restrained himself, she should be aware.

Yet, she wouldn’t give him even a moment of tenderness.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes half-lowered, not looking at him, she carried her bundle and left.

As Pei Shu’er approached the corner, Tang Zan couldn’t hold back.

"I’ll escort you over."

After saying it, he found himself utterly ridiculous.

Pei Shu’er’s steps paused, a slight joy arose in her heart, which she quickly suppressed.

"No need, I can walk myself."

After that, Pei Shu’er turned the corner, only then did Tang Zan’s eyes move away from her figure.

His eyes were filled with rolling anger, as if urgently needing a slaughter fest to quell the fury within.
