Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 97: A Close Shave

The soft feeling of his lips on hers was like the headiest wine, leaving him drunk with emotion. He parted his lips a little more and even brought his tongue out to play. With his restraint long lost, he slid a hand further downwards...

While trapped in deep sleep, Chu Lian suddenly felt a chill all over her body. When she felt something cold touch her lips, she abruptly opened her eyes and was immediately met with that graceful, handsome face up close. Rage burst forth like a volcano in her mind, manifesting outwardly as a furious glare. Her first reaction was to bite down hard while her hands pushed with all her might at the person holding her down.

Xiao Bojian was still immersed in his emotions and was caught off-guard when Chu Lian pushed him away; he couldn't catch his balance and retreated a few steps.

It was only after that that he felt the pain on his lips.

His gaze darkened and he reached out to wipe his lower lip before bringing his fingers up to his eyes.

His head was bent down as he looked at the streak of bright red blood on his hand. He then raised his head to stare at Chu Lian.

"Lian'er, it's me!"

It was him, it wasn't some stranger! How could Lian'er treat him like that?

Chu Lian was nauseous with disgust. She had already climbed off the lounge chair in her panic and retreated as far back as she could, all the way to the other side of the pavilion. Her brows were drawn tightly together as she glared at Xiao Bojian.

She hadn't expected Xiao Bojian to be so shameless! How could he have taken advantage of her while she was asleep!

Calling him a beast would be an insult to all animals! She was already married! How could he do something so immoral!

In comparison, although her husband He Sanlang was a little crazy, he was still a proper gentleman.

And how had he come to the inner court of the Jing'an Estate in the first place?

In just a short moment, Chu Lian's mind was already filled with hundreds of thoughts and doubts.

She realised that the main events in the original story hadn't changed their course despite her interference. However, many of the smaller details and events were already different.

It seemed that she wouldn't be able to depend on the events she had read in the book to avoid disasters in the future.

She had to make more thorough backup plans and preparations.

Chu Lian furrowed her brows, eyes full of caution. "Mister Xiao, why are you here?"

If Chu Lian hadn't just checked the surroundings and realized that there was no one else around, she would have started shouting a long time ago. She didn't want to stay around this dangerous man a second longer.

When Xiao Bojian noticed the caution in Chu Lian's eyes, a pang of pain pierced his heart. He quickly tried to explain, "Lian'er, we haven't met in so long. I just wanted to see you."

Only ghosts would believe that!

If you just wanted to see me, then why did you have to attack me? Chu Lian didn't believe in Xiao Bojian's excuse one bit.

Chu Lian pressed her lips together. She had caught sight of the unconscious Xiyan, who had somehow fainted against a pillar, in the zither room not too far away. When she connected it back to how Wenlan had fainted back in Defeng Teahouse, she became even more vigilant.

This was the inner court of the Jing'an Estate. Although it was already after 1pm and there weren't many servants about, if anyone happened across this situation, she would never be able to clear her name, no matter what she did.
