When a man has money, he will spend it, and the same goes for women!
The Holy Forest Pavilion is a highlight of Fengcheng County, and Lin Dongyu had heard about it long ago. This time, she certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. With the savings she had accumulated over time, she walked in. Immediately, a charming young man in a Purple Robe came to attend to her.
Entering such a place for the first time made Lin Dongyu very nervous! The handsome man prepared a private room for her, and her anxiety only increased!
Lin Dongyu stole a glance at the handsome man, feeling he looked somewhat familiar. Upon a closer look—“It’s you!” Zou Shuheng's attire was different from the last time they met; she almost didn't recognize him. Curiously, Lin Dongyu asked, “What happened to you?” His exposed chest and alluring demeanor were so unfamiliar!
“Have you left Hu Ba? Otherwise, how would he allow you to come here?” Zou Shuheng winked at her. “Don’t worry, I will serve you well!”
Lin Dongyu jumped up in panic. “Um, I think I should…”
“Miss Lin!” Zou Shuheng pressed her down gently, his fingertips gliding softly over her neck. “It’s rare for you to come here; how can you leave?”
A shiver ran down Lin Dongyu's spine as Zou Shuheng began to undress. Seeing his skinny frame made her frown—he looked so scrawny and unattractive! Suddenly, she missed Hu Ba terribly; his physique was stunning and always made her heart race…
Lin Dongyu vowed to defend her chastity fiercely. “Get away from me! Don’t come near me!”
She regretted it! What was the point of visiting a brothel? She might as well go see Hu Ba!
Outside, a man's roar echoed: “Lin Dongyu, get out here!” It was Hu Ba!
Zou Shuheng suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Lin Dongyu's eyes widened—this was it; Da Hu would kill her!
The door was kicked open.
Lin Dongyu desperately pushed Zou Shuheng away, hurriedly wiping her lips, but her actions seemed to betray her. She looked at Hu Ba with a sense of grievance, only to be startled back a few steps by the anger in his eyes. If he found out she had been caught sneaking around with another man, would he really be angry enough to strangle her?
“Lin Dongyu, you damned—”
Fearing a beating, Lin Dongyu hid behind Zou Shuheng and cried out, “Da Hu, I was wrong!” She knew this might only infuriate him further, but at that moment, all she wanted was to save her own skin.
Hu Ba glared at her coldly and warned Zou Shuheng, “Don’t let me see you getting close to her!” He stopped in front of Zou Shuheng, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Who are you?”
“My surname is Zou,” Zou Shuheng replied with a cold smirk. He noticed Hu Ba’s expression change dramatically and couldn’t help but chuckle; he would make Hu Ba taste the bitterness of his actions!
Lin Dongyu, lacking any backbone, pretended to be unconscious to escape reality. She had been "unconscious" for two days and nights; if it weren't for the unbearable hunger, she wouldn’t have bothered to wake up. Her stomach grumbled twice, and Hu Ba asked indulgently, “Are you still pretending to be asleep?”
Reluctantly, Lin Dongyu opened her eyes, tears welling up as she uttered two words: “I’m hungry!” She felt like she could eat a whole cow! But Hu Ba said she had overdone it and only offered her some plain porridge and side dishes to ease her stomach; if she wanted a feast, she would have to get up herself. While drinking the soup, Lin Dongyu muttered angrily, “Demon! He’s doing this on purpose!”
Just as she took a sip of porridge, Hu Ba spoke up. “Little One, let’s get married.”
Lin Dongyu… choked… Wasn’t he supposed to be roaring in anger? Why was he suddenly bringing this up? His sudden shift made her uncomfortable!
While patting her back gently, Hu Ba continued, “I’ve asked the County Magistrate to be our officiant; let’s get married right away.” He had never thought he would develop feelings for this little girl, but once he did, he didn’t want to let go.
He had considered that if Little One found him poor, he could exploit some wealthy families in Fengcheng County; however, he never expected the the Zou Family members to show up.
Thinking of Zou Shuheng, he felt a bit uneasy. "Little One, is it because of Zou Shuheng that you won't marry me?"
"Zou Shuheng?" Lin Dongyu couldn't recall what that person looked like. "What does he have to do with this?"
The man, anxious about not being able to marry, pressed on. "Then you..."
"I know you're reliable, but... I'm still young!" At just sixteen, was she really expected to get married? And to an older man at that!
The man, now completely engulfed in anxiety, became even more restless. "So you think I'm too old? I may be a bit older—I'm thirty—but Little One, I promise I'll treat you well..."
Lin Dongyu tilted her head, looking at him strangely. "Da Hu? He doesn't have the imposing presence of the Bully Prison Warden anymore."
Hu Ba could hardly contain his excitement. "Little One, lift your head; I want to kiss you." She genuinely lifted her head, their lips met, and the flames of desire ignited uncontrollably. His passionate kiss and fervent touches left her in disbelief—both pleasurable and shy...
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Da Hu, you mustn't be fierce with me anymore." She had given him everything, entrusted herself to him; it turned out this feeling was so blissful.
"Okay," Hu Ba replied indulgently. She leaned against his strong arm and fell asleep contentedly. Hu Ba gazed at her sleeping face, overwhelmed with emotion. He leaned down and pressed a deep kiss on her forehead. "Little One, you mustn't betray me."
He said, "You mustn't doubt me or leave me."
Still lost in her dreams, she gently wrapped her arms around him.
