Chapter 153 Has he ever kissed you like this?
The Pei family residence at this time.
The tranquil and gentle moonlight spreads out, revealing a luxurious Chinese-style villa with a garden-style courtyard where streams flow gently, bluestone paths meander, and lush greenery abounds.
The banquet had ended, and many guests were leaving.
Chi Yan and Shangguan Ying walked side by side. There weren't many people around. He asked, "Shangguan Ying, has your marriage with Pei Shuoxun been called off?"
"It never even started, so how can it be canceled?"
Chi Yan's mind raced with various guesses: "You don't want to?"
“Chi Yan, you should know exactly who is unwilling.” Shangguan Ying smiled, looking at him with schadenfreude. “Pei Shuoxun, on the other hand, is absolutely in love with Shi Sui.”
Chi Yan was stunned, and his sense of crisis surged.
“It was he who stopped the marriage, not me.” Shangguan Ying brushed a stray hair behind her ear and added, “I proposed a marriage agreement to cooperate with him, but he refused.”
“I wouldn’t stop him from being with his childhood sweetheart. I never expected that he would give up his interests and be so self-disciplined for her sake that he wouldn’t even cooperate with her.”
“Without the constraints of an arranged marriage, and the bond of childhood sweethearts,” Shangguan Ying covered her mouth and laughed. “Chi Yan, your chances of winning aren’t very high.”
Chi Yan's eyes darkened, and a chilling aura settled on his noble and indifferent face. When he was expressionless, his presence was terrifyingly strong.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "Pei Shuoxun, is he going to give up the Pei family's status and position?"
“If we gave up, how could there be a birthday banquet tonight?” Shangguan Ying didn’t keep them in suspense and said directly, “It’s Madam Bai.”
Madam Bai is Pei Shuoxun's current stepmother.
"Madam Bai had no feelings for her father; she was a victim of a family marriage alliance."
“I don’t know how he persuaded Madam Bai. Madam Bai values him highly. Half a month ago, Madam Bai brought him to visit my home.”
"They must have signed a performance-based agreement. I don't know the specifics of the agreement or the stakes. They also tried to convince my parents that there was no marriage arrangement."
"That day, my parents asked me if I liked Pei Shuoxun, and I told them the truth: I didn't."
Shangguan Ying sighed, "If I had known the marriage would be called off, I would have answered that I liked it."
Chi Yan: "If you run home now and cry to your parents that you like them, is it too late?"
"You're sick." Shangguan Ying rolled her eyes. "Don't even think about using me to get rid of your love rival. I'm more than anyone else at watching brothers fight over a woman."
"..."
"By the way, Chi Yan, I'd like to interview you," Shangguan Ying asked. "As the future head of the Chi family, will your family agree to Shi Sui? The difference in social standing is truly significant."
The boy tilted his head slightly, a wisp of hair falling on his brow, his eyes sharp and unruly.
"I don't need my family's approval to like whomever I want."
As he walked, he straightened his sleeves and asked, "Where did Pei Shuoxun go?"
“There’s no arranged marriage, yet this is such a joyous occasion.” Shangguan Ying smiled happily. “Of course he can’t wait to tell your wife.”

In the dimly lit room, the candles on the cake flickered slightly.
"Chen Xun, you should make the same wish as me," Shi Sui said with her eyes closed. "Together, we wish Xu Chaomu good health and freedom from illness and disaster!"
Should I bless my love rival?
The girl he likes makes him bless his love rival!
Pei Shuoxun stared at her face; her fair cheeks looked especially warm in the candlelight. When she made a wish, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upward, making her look very sweet.
How could she say such vicious things to him?
No, it has nothing to do with Sui Sui, it's Xu Chaomu who's malicious.
Pei Shuoxun forced himself to calm down, attempting to quell his jealousy.
But it was of no use.
Instead, it fostered desires, and crazy evil thoughts surged in his heart.
Pei Shuoxun slightly curled his lips, raised the corners of his eyes, and a wild and wicked air, never before seen on his usually gentle and refined face, appeared.
He bent down and blew out the candle, then knelt on one knee on the carpet.
Shi Sui noticed the light dimming, opened her eyes, and looked at him: "Chen Xun, have you made a wish in your heart?"
Pei Shuoxun's obscure gaze fell on her face. He loosened his tie and, in her bewildered gaze, wrapped it around her wrist.
"What's wrong?" Shi Sui asked, her face full of confusion. "I'm not injured, why do I need to be bandaged?"
Pei Shuoxun looked down at her, at her flushed cheeks from the alcohol, her dazed eyes, her sluggish reactions, her soft, submissive demeanor...
"You're not hurt, I'm the one who's hurt." His eyes gradually turned a grotesque crimson, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Sui Sui, please save me."
"I'm not a doctor—"
Before he could utter the last word, a rapid kiss silenced him.
The restrained desires burst forth, releasing a cool, woody scent mingled with a sticky, loving fragrance.
He pressed her down on the sofa, his lips and teeth slightly cool, but the palms holding her hands were burning hot.
A kiss that was destructive and out of control fell upon him.
Entangled in the instincts of desire, it's all a muddy mess.
The sound of a heartbeat was amplified in the silence.
Shi Sui was slow to realize his intrusion and entanglement, and opened her eyes groggily.
I feel that this is wrong.
With her hands bound, Shi Sui could only turn her head to dodge.
Finally finding a chance to catch her breath, she mumbled her complaint, "I want to eat cake."
Pei Shuoxun let go and then lowered his head to kiss her glistening lips clean.
His high, straight nose rubbed against her face, his voice hoarse: "Is Xu Chaomu the one you like the most?"
"Sui Sui, has he ever kissed you like this?"
Shi Sui didn't hear what he was saying; she only felt that he was burning hot and wanted to push him away, but found that her hands were still tied with a tie.
She raised her hand: "Untie it."
Pei Shuoxun was stunned. To his ears, the voice was so soft it sounded like a spoiled child.
Instead of violently tearing it off, she obediently let him untie it.
Feeling a warmth welled up in his heart, Pei Shuoxun was flattered and praised her as he loosened her tie, "Sui Sui is such a good girl."
He was pushed away the next second.
Shi Sui flexed her wrists, glanced down at Pei Shuoxun who had been pushed to the ground, and her eyes lit up.
Pei Shuoxun met her eyes and immediately understood—she was itching to punch someone.
He quickly rolled over, cut the cake, placed it on a paper plate, and presented it with both hands.
"Eat cake."
The cherry chocolate cake is so tempting, it's impossible to resist.
Shi Sui forgot to switch to her beating-up mode; all she could see was the cake.
She reached out to take it, but Pei Shuoxun had already scooped out a bite of cake and held it to her lips.
While feeding her, I asked, "Sui Sui, who is your favorite person?"
