Chapter 50 Be Responsible for You

At another corner, the man holding Wu Shuang in his arms was having a really hard time! Wu Shuang was in her sweet dream. Meanwhile, Xuan Zhi, as a healthy young man, was holding the woman he loved in his arms but couldn’t do anything. Only a saint or a eunuch would still feel nothing under such circumstances! He would have taken Wu Shuang away from here if it weren’t for the rain outside. Why did he have to be tortured like that? The moans, the heavy breaths, the sounds they made were echoing in the whole place! The erotic atmosphere was more and more arousing, and he was about to burn! However, before he almost lost control of himself, he let go of her and ran out to shower in the rain. Wu Shuang wasn’t really sleeping. How was it possible for her to sleep with those voices and sounds? She was no longer a naive girl. Even though this kind of thing could be her life-long wound because of Yun Su, and she didn’t want to think about it, she could still feel Xuan Zhi’s erection. However, she was greedy for his warmth, and she didn’t hate his touch. She even had a special feeling for him in her heart, although she might still be unaware of it. But she was afraid of reacting to this. After all, Yun Su hurt her badly, and she dared not to face her true feelings. All she could do was pretending to sleep. Wu Shuang knew she might be very selfish or shameless, and it was really unfair to Xuan Zhi. But she had no idea what to do. The sound in the haystack finally stopped when it was almost morning. Two men in black secretly took the prostitute away. Xuan Zhi found a place to change his clothes and hide. Wu Shuang put on her white clothes that had been dried for a whole night. But this time, she didn’t use that piece of cloth to wrap around her chest. She put her black hair down and used her simple pearl hairpin to make a bun before walking to the haystack. She sat down, waiting for Wei Ruxuan to wake up. The haystack was so warm, bathed in sunlight. With his eyes open, Wei Ruxuan saw this picture the moment he opened his eyes - a pure, stunning girl staring at him. Wei Ruxuan suddenly remembered the erotic dream he had last night and blushed. He wanted to get up but felt weak. Moreover, he saw the marks on his body and smelled a special scent around the haystack. He felt so happy that he held the girl’s hands and said, “Wu Shuang, will you marry me?” Wu Shuang immediately pulled her hands out and replied with a red face, “No. Your father won’t agree.” “You already belong to me. I’ll be responsible for you.” Suddenly, something came to his mind. Last night, he took possession of her body without any difficulty. He quickly looked around the haystack, and there was no blood at all. He was a little upset, but he didn’t want to let her go because of this. Wu Shuang had a trace of sorrow in her eyes seeing Wei Ruxuan’s reactions, which clearly stung Wei Ruxuan’s heart. Slowly, Wu Shuang said, “Ruxuan, I’m not good enough for you.” “Wu Shuang, I don’t care about your background.” “But I wasn’t a virgin, even before I met you.” “I don’t care. All I want is you. As long as you belong to me from now on, I will be fine.” “You don’t understand it, Ruxuan. I was sold into a brothel when I was very young, and I have had many guests.” “Wu Shuang, you were...?” “Yes. You’re right. I was a prostitute. That’s why I only dare to stay with you as a man.” Wei Ruxuan immediately hugged Wu Shuang, “Silly girl. I don’t care what happened to you in the past. I want you to be with me, and I will protect you forever.” Wu Shuang quickly pushed Wei Ruxuan away, and her face looked lovely with the blush. She asked him to get dressed first. When she turned over, there was only coldness left in her eyes, and she was not shy at all. The young man was thrilled, not knowing that the girl thought otherwise. A day before, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was full of joy, as there was a blessed wedding that everyone admired. After only one night, the atmosphere became suppressing there. In the main bedroom of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, three ladies were crying very sadly. What on earth was that? Their excellent son ran away from his wedding with someone like that! He ran away with a man! It was a great humiliation to the Wei Family! And how could they have grandchildren in this case?! Now, their husband, Prime Minister Wei, was ill. Oh, God. Was their family doomed to go down to hell? It was such a sad thing, and the three ladies couldn’t help crying louder. On the bed, Prime Minister Wei looked ten years older overnight, and he was woken up by their crying. Looking at his three wives, he became more upset. The housekeeper whispered to his ear, “Our secret guard has something to report, my lord.” Prime Minister Wei struggled to get up from the bed, and he asked someone to escort the three ladies out first. However, before he could have a chance to take a deep breath, he was so angry at the news that the secret guard brought that he fainted again. Oh, God! What had he done? He finally learned that the person his son liked was a woman. However, unexpectedly, the woman was a prostitute! His family couldn’t be disgraced like that, and they couldn’t be used by that woman! That woman used a dirty way to get close to his son, and there was even that woman’s lover tagging along! They had been cheating on his son! How could they treat his son like this? If he let his son marry that woman, they couldn’t even tell whether their future grandson would be his real blood or not! That woman definitely couldn’t be their future daughter-in-law! Finally, Prime Minister Wei woke up and got out of bed again. Before he could settle things right, his ungrateful son came back home with Wu Shuang, who now dressed up as a girl. They looked so happy and sweet together, as his son was smiling at him. Prime Minister Wei was more than angry. He was about to explode. Directly, he asked the servants to throw Wu Shuang out of the door. Seeing Wu Shuang in tears, Wei Ruxuan felt heartbroken, and he struggled so hard to get away from servants’ control to get her. However, it was already too late. The gate of the Prime Minister’s Mansion slowly closed, which gradually blocked that delicate white figure until she could no longer be seen. Wu Shuang walked along the road with grief in her eyes until she came to a corner and was sure no one was looking. Then, she put up her poker face again. Xuan Zhi showed up and left with Wu Shuang hand in hand. In the few days after that, dramas kept occurring in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Prime Minister Wei beat up his son. Wei Ruxuan refused to eat or drink and tried to kill himself. Three ladies cried along with Prime Minister Wei all day long... Anyway, days had been difficult, and the Wei Family had been in chaos. Prime Minister Wei’s hair went white, and people assumed he’d probably die soon if Wei Ruxuan continued to behave like that. The night was relatively quiet. Even though it was chaotic in the day, nights at the Prime Minister’s Mansion seemed a lot more peaceful. It was the only time when the mansion seemed to be a good place. However, it was not the truth. For those things that couldn’t be solved, fake peace wouldn’t help fix it. No matter what Prime Minister Wei said, Wei Ruxuan refused to believe that Wu Shuang betrayed him. He had seen Xuan Zhi. Wu Shuang told him that Xuan Zhi was her family, and he trusted her. After all, it was Wu Shuang that kept him accompanied in the college. After they got back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, they got along well and had experienced so many tests and tortures. He believed that she loved him. He trusted his guts. He thought his father said those because he didn’t like Wu Shuang for her history and low-life background. And his father ignored his happiness and wanted to separate them for the sake of his own reputation. Wei Ruxuan had been on hunger strike for nearly seven days now, and it almost got to his limit. But he was still fighting with his family. Three ladies had tried all the ways to talk to him, and they even begged him to eat something. Nothing changed. Wei Ruxuan knew that he was regarded as a treasure in his family, and he wanted to force them to compromise. He didn’t want to give up. As he expected, his father changed his attitude. At first, he didn’t allow his son to marry Wu Shuang. Then, he agreed to accept Wu Shuang as his son’s concubine, which was already his biggest concession. But Wei Ruxuan still wasn’t satisfied. Wu Shuang cared about him so much and loved him so much. He had already slept with her. Even if she wasn’t a virgin, he still didn’t want to fail her. Just like how she didn’t look down on him while he was bullied and lost his dignity, how could he let her suffer from injustice? Neither the father nor the son would compromise one more step. And the situation went into a dead end again. Wei Ruxuan thought that it would be a sleepless night for him as usual. He didn’t have much strength. He was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about the days he spent together with Wu Shuang. There were more bitter memories than sweet memories between them, but most of the bitterness was caused by him. He wondered what Wu Shuang was doing. Was she thinking about him as well? The young man bullied in the school was forced to grow up. But after he returned home and killed all his enemies, he had turned back into the useless young master in this loving family. So, maybe the old saying was right - children of the poor grew up fast, but only a few spoiled children surrounded by love would really grow up. Suddenly, the window of his room was pushed open. Xuan Zhi appeared in his room, looking really anxious. Wei Ruxuan was about to faint, but he struggled to pull Xuan Zhi’s sleeve immediately and asked about Wu Shuang’s situation. Wei Ruxuan totally forgot where he was at. The Prime Minister’s Mansion was guarded well, and how could Xuan Zhi come in so easily? It was clear proof of how good Xuan Zhi was at martial arts. Why would Xuan Zhi come to him for help instead of helping Wu Shuang himself? He also forgot to ask what had happened in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. But fair enough, if he were able to think about that, he wouldn’t be a spoiled young master in the Prime Minister’s Mansion! Now, all Wei Ruxuan cared about was his lover Wu Shuang. He was like a person who got sick because of love. After asking Xuan Zhi, he learned that Wu Shuang was taken away by his father’s secret guards. He wanted to get up from bed, but after all, he hadn’t eaten for days and had no strength at all! Xuan Zhi immediately took out a pill and fed it to him. Obviously, it was prepared ahead! Still, Wei Ruxuan didn’t realize anything. After taking the pill, he felt a bit better and anxiously asked Xuan Zhi to take him to save Wu Shuang. They came to the old temple that they stayed at during that rainy night. Everything was so strange and obviously planned, but Wei Ruxuan still didn’t notice it. Following Xuan Zhi to that shabby temple in the forest, Wei Ruxuan saw a man in black getting close to a figure in red by the door, holding a knife in his hand. It was Wu Shuang wearing a red dress! Seeing that the woman he loved was about to be killed, he had no time to think and directly rushed over to push away that man in black.
