After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master
Chapter 220 - Good

Chapter 220: Good

Jiang Huai Jr. was furiously frustrated.

He couldn’t quite pinpoint the source of his frustration, but looking at Luo Yueguan’s seductive demeanor and the faint scorn in her eyes, Jiang Huai felt an indescribable sense of humiliation.

He was always struggling with his desires, losing again and again, fighting and failing. And Luo Yueguan in front of him seemed to be mocking him with contempt.

“Not looking anymore?” Luo Yueguan’s legs under the blanket crossed.

“I wanted to ask if you wanted to kiss me. Weren’t you so agile with your tongue when kissing Qingyu last night?”

“Put your clothes on.”

“Hmm? Didn’t you say earlier...”

“Put your clothes on!”

Jiang Huai repeated, his tone rising slightly this time. Luo Yueguan’s curling lips slowly dropped, and she gently grabbed the blanket, covering her soft and fragrant body again,

“Alright, what now?”

Jiang Huai lowered his hands from his eyes and looked earnestly at Luo Yueguan in front of him.

Luo Yueguan’s thoughts seemed even more difficult to guess than Chu Xianning’s.

Chu Xianning’s thoughts were traceable, while Luo Yueguan seemed to be constantly changing, crazy and unpredictable.

She could strip in front of you, shamelessly displaying her pure and beautiful body, or she could disdainfully slap your hand away when you touch her, calling you disgusting. But many things in this world are not unfounded; since she acted this way, there must be a logical reason behind it.

But when Jiang Huai looked into her eyes, it was as if he only saw deep fog, which concealed Luo Yueguan. It wasn’t her disguise, but rather it seemed to have merged with her body as part of her.

But what kind of you is the real Luo Yueguan?

Jiang Huai suddenly became curious, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He wanted to tear through the thick fog surrounding Luo Yueguan and see her true appearance beneath it. After a moment, he bit his tongue to regain some clarity.

Curiosity? It was nothing more than coveting her beauty.

“Is it because it’s fun?” Jiang Huai suddenly said.

This question didn’t seem to be directed at Luo Yueguan, but more like he was talking to himself. Luo Yueguan was also taken aback.

“What did you say?”

“I said... Aunt Luo, you just acted shamelessly because you thought it was fun, right?”

Jiang Huai seemed to have figured something out.

Previously, Luo Yueguan always encouraged him to do something to Chu Xianning, or deliberately disgusted Chu Xianning. Maybe it was all because... she found it amusing.

No, it wasn’t just that. There must be deeper reasons.

What was she really longing for?

“Yes, it’s fun.”

“Fun in what way?”

“Seeing you, full of lust but pretending to be a gentleman, acting like a despicable dog, it’s very amusing.”

Luo Yueguan’s fingertips played with the hair falling over her collarbone, her slender fingers twining her black hair.

“You men are all the same, clearly only desiring to humiliate women in bed, yet you package it so righteously...”

Jiang Huai fell silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of Luo Yueguan’s background.

He remembered that Luo Yueguan had once told him personally that her mother was deceived by a scoundrel, which led to her birth. Her mother waited in vain for a long time before she finally accepted that she had been tricked and abandoned, and eventually resigned herself to her fate as a courtesan.

That’s why... Luo Yueguan despised men from the bottom of her heart.

That’s why... Luo Yueguan wanted to see him driven by desire, to confirm her judgment that all men are despicable dogs. But why test only him?

Was it because... at some moment, she also harbored some expectations for him?

Jiang Huai’s originally muddled brain suddenly became clear at this moment, but a moment later, only a bitter smile remained on his face. Because he didn’t want to refute Luo Yueguan; he always thought the same.

There is no love or hatred without reason in this world; love and hatred are always intertwined, dependent on each other.

“If Aunt Luo thinks all men in the world are like me, that’s a bit too pessimistic,” Jiang Huai could only respond like this.

“Then why can’t you be the man who changes my mind?”

Luo Yueguan’s voice suddenly revealed an inexplicable annoyance.

During the two months since their separation, she had thought a lot. In the dead of night, she would feel ridiculous, wondering how she could fantasize about a young boy much younger than herself.

Was it because he once had the opportunity to possess her body but still acted like a gentleman?

Or was it because he seemed to have restrained his desires for her from the beginning, as if he wasn’t as repulsive as other men?

But gradually, she realized it was all her fantasy; the boy she thought was as clear-hearted as a mirror also harbored greedy desires.

“In front of Aunt Luo, haven’t I always played the role of a well-behaved junior?” Jiang Huai said with a bitter smile, looking at her.

“I’ve never really done anything excessive to Aunt Luo, right? Instead, it’s Aunt Luo who always likes to tease me for no reason, provoking those despicable and dark desires in my heart... Isn’t it unreasonable to blame me alone? If Aunt Luo had always been the dignified and composed sect master Luo Yueguan in front of me, then I would naturally always be the obedient and well-behaved junior.”

“You’re always so improper, you know? You always want to know if I have those vile desires like other men, but once you start to doubt, the accusation is already formed. If you want to test the hardness of a stone, that stone will definitely break in the end.”

Jiang Huai sat down by the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then continued.

“It’s as if Aunt Luo has some inexplicable expectations for me, hoping that I really could be like a saint, but I can’t do that, and I don’t think I need to respond to your expectations according to your thoughts, so your anger is unreasonable.” Jiang Huai’s tone gradually softened.

He suddenly reached out and gently grabbed Luo Yueguan’s quilt, and in her stunned gaze, he slowly pulled it away. He looked up at Luo Yueguan.

“When Aunt Luo asked me earlier if I wanted to see, what were you expecting me to answer? If I say I want to, you’ll mock me for being lowly. If I say I don’t want to, you’ll mock me for being hypocritical. Since any answer is wrong, why don’t I just pick one that makes me happy?”

“What are you going to do?”

Luo Yueguan’s voice suddenly became urgent, as Jiang Huai seemed to be slowly approaching, his breath almost touching her collarbone. She desperately wanted to push the Jiang Huai in front of her away, but she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength, her heartbeat quickening as if, in her fear, there was a hidden expectation.

“Weren’t you just asking if I wanted to kiss?”

Jiang Huai looked up at her, finally seeing the panic in Luo Yueguan’s eyes. It seemed she was about to say something to mock him, but Jiang Huai interrupted her pre-casting.

“No, I just wanted to tell you that right now, I don’t want to at all.” Jiang Huai curled his lips, then pulled the quilt over her body again.

“It’s the same as with Qingyu; kissing you is not as good as kissing Qingyu. You don’t trust me at all, you treat me like a toy, everything you do is because you’re too empty, lonely, and cold, looking for something to excite you. Last night, spying on me and Qingyu was the same. Whether I would be excited, I don’t know, but you must have found it very thrilling, right?”

Jiang Huai unreasonably stretched out his hand, pinched Luo Yueguan’s cheeks, and pulled them to both sides.

“Scared, right? You seemed to be playing hard to get just now? If I really kissed you, would you have not planned to struggle at all?”

Luo Yueguan’s breathing became more and more intense, as if a raging fire was burning in her chest, sparks about to turn into a roaring blaze. But Jiang Huai seemed oblivious, just releasing her cheeks and lightly touching her lips with his fingertips.

“Having greedy thoughts about you is a respect for your beauty, but if I really did something to you, I wouldn’t want to. Suspicious, sensitive, insecure, arrogant, these are all you. You’re the one full of holes, much worse than Qingyu was years ago. You’re the one who will never grow up.”

Luo Yueguan’s thoughts were a tangled mess, but her mouth seemed to be much faster than her brain.

“What? Have you finished with your delusions? If you really dared to kiss me just now... I would have cut off your tongue.”

“You wouldn’t.”

“Want to try?” Luo Yueguan’s voice was icy cold.

“I won’t try,” Jiang Huai shrugged.

“But I bet you wouldn’t.”

“You don’t dare to try, yet you’re so sure I wouldn’t?” Luo Yueguan sneered.

“You’ve only lived for twenty years, a little guy whose hair has barely grown out, really think you can teach me how to be a person? You think you can easily guess my thoughts? Calling me a little girl who never grows up, look at your arrogant, self-righteous demeanor, nothing but a cheap dog wagging its tail at your master. But no matter how much you wag, Chu Xianning is indifferent to you, kicks you away when she’s in a bad mood, and you can only lick your wounds in a corner, seeking comfort from my daughter, tsk, truly pitiful.”

“Ah yes, yes, yes.”

If it were the old Jiang Huai Jr., he might have already become anxious.

But thinking of last night’s master’s soft, pink, tender lips, and the sweet fragrance of flowers, Jiang Huai Jr. could barely suppress the upward curl of his lips. He looked innocently at Luo Yueguan.

“You’re so right, I’m so pitiful.”

“What? You start to feel sorry for yourself when I hit a nerve? Ah, I almost thought you really didn’t care, tsk, a cheap dog, engaged to my daughter on one hand, and on the other, you can’t forget your master. Now that you know there’s no hope with your master, you remember Qingyu who is infatuated with you. You are despicable, selfish, shameless, lewd, cheap, and calling you a cheap dog is already elevating you.”

“Ah yes, yes, yes,” Jiang Huai nodded innocently.

“Anything else you want to scold me for? I’m listening.”

Jiang Huai’s indifferent attitude didn’t dissolve the inexplicable annoyance in Luo Yueguan’s heart. On the contrary, she seemed to be on the verge of losing her mind with the blood rushing to her head.

The more indifferent Jiang Huai was, the more annoyed she became. Her fingers clenched the quilt tightly, her breathing becoming more and more rapid.

“What? Pretending to be indifferent makes you really indifferent? You don’t really think that with Chu Xianning’s personality, she would be moved by you one day, do you? She will only despise your lowliness and greed, you will never have a chance with her in this lifetime.”

“Oh,” Jiang Huai nodded.

“Anything else?”

“Presumptuous! What do you think you are? You think I have the slightest desire for you in my heart? It’s just that I tease you for fun on ordinary days. If you really dared to kiss me, today’s breakfast would start with your tongue! You dog... cheap bones...”

Jiang Huai looked innocently at Luo Yueguan in front of him.

Clearly, the person who was trying hard to come up with insults for him was Luo Yueguan, but now her eyes were getting redder, and tears were already swirling in her eyes as if they would fall at any moment.

Watching her tears slowly fall from the corner of her eyes, her voice becoming more and more choked, Jiang Huai’s slight annoyance in his heart gradually melted away. After being silent for a little while, he said,

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault... I apologize, okay, Aunt Luo?”

“Apologize? Weren’t you so self-righteous just now? Now you’re apologizing and bowing your head? You spineless thing! I thought you would continue to be arrogant. What? Can’t take it after being scolded a few times... I tell you... I tell you...”

But Luo Yueguan’s voice was already becoming more and more intermittent, her chest heaving with her breathless breathing. Jiang Huai took out a handkerchief, approached her cheek, and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

“Forgive me... Aunt Luo, I was wrong, stop scolding, stop scolding, I really know I was wrong.”

Luo Yueguan’s cursing stopped there, but her tears kept falling, her eyes already as red as a little rabbit’s.

She suddenly clenched her fist and swung it at Jiang Huai, but the force was weak.

“It’s your fault! It’s you! It’s you who had the desire first! It’s you who likes to pretend to be a gentleman! It’s you who always thinks you’re above others! It’s you... it’s your fault... it’s you...”

“Alright, alright, it’s my fault.”

Jiang Huai gently agreed, not knowing why, but looking at Luo Yueguan crying uncontrollably in front of him, he suddenly felt an indescribable heartache, and on impulse, he gently hugged the approaching Luo Yueguan in his arms, patting her back gently,

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault... don’t cry, don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying!”

Luo Yueguan lowered her head and bit down hard on Jiang Huai’s shoulder, but Jiang Huai wasn’t annoyed, just gently hugging her, patting her back gently and slowly, as if he could smell Luo Yueguan’s hair fragrance, he sighed quietly.

“Alright, alright, you’re not crying. It’s all my fault, not angry anymore, okay?”

Perhaps it was Jiang Huai’s tone of coaxing a child that made Luo Yueguan even more angry.

She bit down even harder on Jiang Huai’s shoulder, but aside from taking a sharp breath, he still said nothing, just gently holding her.

Jiang Huai really liked hugs, the simple action always inexplicably brought a sense of comfort. Luo Yueguan’s body trembled like a fawn in his arms, her tears wetting the clothes on his shoulder. She bit Jiang Huai’s shoulder and kept crying, and Jiang Huai just gently hugged her back. After a long time, Luo Yueguan finally let go of her mouth.

Her tears had run dry, and she pushed Jiang Huai away, who was hugging her, almost instantly all softness disappeared, and she returned to her cold defensive posture, arms crossed, eyes sharp,

“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!”

Jiang Huai obediently retreated to the side, his eyes innocently fixed on hers, and he softly replied.

“Okay.”
