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

Chapter 68

She blinked, raised her hand to wipe the bloodstains from her face, and seemed to think of something, her eyes softening.

He exhaled, watched the snowflakes fall from the sky, and slowly spoke.

"Rong Hengyu, now that you're better, let's discuss something."

Rong Hengyu withdrew his gaze, stood up, and adopted the demeanor of a noble young master from a prominent family. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her.

"What's the matter?"

Nalan Jingwen suppressed her smile, turned her head to meet his gaze, and her stiff body shifted slightly.

"Let's make peace."

Rong Hengyu's gaze faltered slightly, then he asked, "Why?"

"It was my unscrupulous means that forced you to marry me. It was my fault. It is understandable that you hate me. Since we despise each other, why torture each other? Let's get a divorce."

Rong Hengyu stared intently at her with his dark phoenix eyes, his face expressionless.

"Nalan Jingwen, what makes you think that divorce is a good thing for me?"

The only person who would dare to call her by her name so directly is Pei Yunche.

“Everyone in the capital knows that I, Rong Hengyu, was forcibly taken by you and am therefore impure. Even if I divorce you and am not afraid of the rumors, my reputation is ruined and I am still affected. When the capital spreads that I, Rong Hengyu, the eldest son of the Rong family, not only failed to uphold the duties of a husband but was also abandoned by you, Nalan Jingwen, you women can still remain pure, but what about men? What will they do?”

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone flat and devoid of any anger, as if he were simply narrating calmly. It was precisely this calmness that made Nalan Jingwen even more silent.

Yes, she forgot that even with the divorce, with the Rong family as a powerful backer, even if all the rumors were suppressed, the damage had already been done and could not be undone.

Even if there is a divorce, some people will say that the person has been abandoned, and no one will marry a man who has been abandoned.

Although Rong Hengyu didn't care about the rumors or whether he could get married later, he was still just a man. The Rong family was a prestigious clan, and how could they allow someone with such a stigma to remain in the clan?

This world is inherently unfair to men.

Nalan Jingwen said that Rong Hengyu was not a plaything.

Nalan Jingwen's eyes flickered, and he sat up to look at him.

"It was my oversight that I did not consider all the details. Let's pretend I never said this."

She gazed into those phoenix eyes. Rong Hengyu was indeed extremely handsome, with an air of elegance and nobility that made people dare not disrespect him. Perhaps only he could carry off that pale gold robe.

"I have one request."

"what?"

"Try to get along with me and accept the fact that I am your wife."

She didn't want to see his cold face every day, nor did she want them to be constantly at odds.

Rong Hengyu seemed surprised by her request, a hint of astonishment flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Nalan Jingwen ignored his reaction, stood up, felt a wave of dizziness, staggered a few steps and almost fell, but quickly regained his balance.

Rong Hengyu subconsciously reached out to support her, but stopped for some reason and eventually let go.

"Let's go."

Watching her back, Rong Hengyu seemed lost in thought. He lowered his head slightly and saw Ruan Lingyu, her breasts gleaming with a lustrous sheen, hanging down her chest. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He got up and followed Nalan Jingwen.

The path down was still very steep, and Nalan Jingwen deliberately slowed down to wait for him, afraid that something might happen to him.

Rong Hengyu walked over to Nalan Jingwen and pulled her aside. The latter looked at him with some confusion.

Rong Hengyu paused for a moment, then took Ruan Lingyu off and put it around her neck. In an instant, a warm current flowed through her limbs and bones, filling her entire body.

Nalan Jing was taken aback and immediately tried to take it off, but was stopped by one of his hands.

"Can your body hold on any longer?"

Nalan Jingwen remained silent. She had already exhausted all the Xuan power in her body, and she was now only barely holding on. She was afraid that she would turn into an ice sculpture halfway there.

Rong Hengyu glanced at her slightly trembling hands and could tell that she was pretending to be fine.

"Since you can't, then wear it."

"But you..."

As if anticipating what she wanted to say, he continued, "It's probably because I just took the Red Lotus, and the current temperature doesn't affect me."

Nalan Jingwen had some doubts.

"really?"

Rong Hengyu nodded and stretched out his hand in front of her. Nalan Jingwen lowered his eyes. These hands, like him, had long, slender, jade-like fingers. He was a dignified and noble young man who had never done any work. There was only a little blood on them, which must have come from her.

Holding that hand, which was very warm, Nalan Jingwen's doubts were dispelled, and he did not refuse to wear Ruan Lingyu.

Rong Hengyu followed a step behind her. Nalan Jingwen would occasionally look back, diverting half of her attention to him. Sometimes, when they encountered difficult sections, she would take his hand and lead him along. Rong Hengyu did not hesitate and let her lead him. They remained silent along the way.

Fearing another avalanche, the two quickened their pace and, after walking for an unknown amount of time, finally began to vaguely see human figures.

Nalan Jingwen's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he quickened his pace again.

Hongyun's previously furrowed brows lit up with surprise the moment she saw the two of them. She immediately rushed forward and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Your Highness! Young Master!"

Nalan Jingwen casually responded and got into the carriage. She was very tired. Rong Hengyu, on the other hand, looked at the red clouds on the ground and frowned imperceptibly.

Hongyun was overjoyed to see her master recover, her excitement overflowing. But seeing her master's expression, her smile faded.

"Hongyun, you must not call me Young Master anymore."

Hongyun immediately realized what was happening, lowered her head, and spoke in a serious voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Rong Hengyu then boarded the carriage and saw Nalan Jingwen leaning against the carriage with her eyes closed, looking exhausted. She paused for a moment, then sat down opposite her, observing her discreetly.

Incense was burning inside the carriage, and in a hazy state, I unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Hongyun's voice woke her up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we've arrived at the inn."

When Nalan Jingwen woke up, she regained her senses in an instant. Upon hearing this address, she subconsciously looked at Rong Hengyu beside her. The latter showed no displeasure and did not even glance at her before getting off the carriage.

Really...

They don't take her seriously.

But she didn't have the energy to dwell on these things. She was exhausted, her whole body ached terribly, and she felt like there wasn't a single part of her body that was alright. Her internal organs were also in pain. But because she was wearing red clothes, even if there was blood on them, it wouldn't be noticeable. If she were wearing white clothes, she would look so miserable.

In the freezing cold, her blood had congealed and her scent was masked, so apart from looking a little disheveled, she seemed perfectly fine.

It was already dark, with a few stars dotting the night sky.

As soon as I got off the car and walked to the entrance of the inn, a servant rushed over to report.

"Miss Wang... Young Master Pei has been kidnapped!"
