Tangli Fried Snow

The other two people in the room knew nothing about music. After a few drinks, with the charming girl beside them laughing and joking, they had no idea what year it was. They listened to Mr. Luo Chuan praising the music, and only glanced casually at the waterside pavilion through the window.

Jin Cheng suddenly stood up. He couldn't see clearly from this distance, but the woman looked familiar, and there was something about her that made his heart flutter.

Isn't this the little vixen I've been longing for day and night?

He looked at it carefully a few more times. It looked similar, but not quite. This made him feel like ants were crawling all over his mind, and he couldn't help but feel restless.

Jin Cheng strode out the door and rushed to the waterside pavilion.

The closer he got, the faster his heart beat.

After walking for a long time, I finally reached the woman. A light veil fluttered in the air, and I could finally see her clearly.

She has changed; she seems to have become even more beautiful.

Her facial features were more defined and clear than before, possessing a sculpted beauty that was rare and distinct for women of this era. Her eyes were clear and bright, and she didn't look up even when she noticed someone approaching.

Her lowered, beautiful eyes and slightly high cheekbones accentuated her straight nose, giving her a unique and breathtaking beauty. Her delicate eyebrows, drawn with care, were long and slender, slanting towards her temples, further highlighting the brightness and sparkle of her dark eyes. Truly phoenix eyes and moth-like eyebrows, brimming with classical beauty, she resembled a fairy descending to the moon, captivating Jin Cheng Shen.

She seemed to have changed a lot, yet she hadn't changed much; her demeanor and actions still exuded an extraordinary aura, a quality unlike any other woman.

Free, spontaneous, stubborn, and agile.

A gust of wind lifted her silk skirt, making her appear even more light, graceful, and ethereal.

This is the woman who haunts his dreams!

Madam Hua appeared just in time behind Jin Cheng: "Young Master, would you like Jiaojiao to come inside and play the zither for you?"

"No need," Jin Cheng said.

Upon hearing his voice, Shirley's delicate body trembled, the music stopped abruptly, and she looked up at him in shock.

It was that brat Jin Cheng! He actually escaped from Duan Jingyu!

She was overjoyed; it was truly a stroke of luck!

Sherry couldn't help but smile and wave at him.

When Madam Hua saw that she had made that bold move again, fearing that she would offend the nobleman, she chuckled and said, "Oh dear, this girl is too young and naughty. Please don't be offended, young master. Someone, take the girl to your room."

Two clever maids arrived immediately and escorted Xue Li to Jin Cheng's private room.

While the madam was trying to get close to Jin Ershao, Jin Cheng ignored her incessant chatter, his attention entirely focused on this little vixen.

Sherry didn't dare ask him how he escaped, nor did she dare to speak to him. She just secretly sized him up. He looked a little thinner than before, and his fancy clothes revealed his status as a second-generation official. He was even more handsome than before.

Jin Cheng smiled and stared intently at her as the group followed her back to the private room on the second floor.

There were two men and two women sitting in the room. The older middle-aged man was clearly a military general, with a burly build, a bronze face, and a cold demeanor. Beside him sat a delicate, porcelain-doll-like young girl.

That middle-aged handsome young man dressed like a scholar was quite a sight. Like the current top idols in the "uncle" circle, he was both old and handsome, and his mature charm was irresistible. His attire was also quite flamboyant, with a moon-white brocade round-necked robe, the collar and cuffs revealing a sky-blue lining, and a deep blue belt around his waist, adorned with sachets, jade bridles, and jade pendants given to him by young women. He possessed a certain refined and romantic air about him.

Once middle-aged people get into a flamboyant mood, young people have no chance.

The handsome middle-aged man was sitting next to a mature and elegant woman.

Mr. Luo Chuan looked at the two of them with a smile. He first looked at Xue Li and realized that Jin Cheng liked this type.

He then directly praised Jin Cheng, saying, "Second Master, you have a keen eye. This young lady is exceptionally beautiful and talented, a rare find. Come, please sit down, how about we have a drink?" After saying that, he solicitously invited the two of them to sit down and filled each of them with a cup of fine wine.

Sherry greeted the two adults, then nervously sat down at the table with Jin Cheng, unsure of what to say. Should she say, "Long time no see?" Or, "What a coincidence, what are you doing here?" Or perhaps, "It's so good to see you, please take me away quickly?"

Jin Cheng stared at her intently, and said with a smile, "May I ask what your name is, young lady?"

Shirley gave him a look that seemed both angry and resentful, which made his heart start pounding uncontrollably again.

"My name is Lin Jiaojiao," she said in an affected manner.

Jin Cheng moved his face closer and asked her again in a low voice, "I'm asking what your mother calls you?"

Sherry gave him a disgruntled look, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "My mother calls me Sherry."

Jin Cheng smiled as he looked into her sly eyes and called out, "Mom~".

Sherry was startled by his audacity.

Madam Hua was already waiting outside. Hearing the official's call from inside, she immediately responded and stepped forward, smiling as she asked, "What are your orders, esteemed guest?"

Jin Cheng adopted the debonair manner of a dashing young master, and said with a smile, "Let Miss Jiaojiao go to Lingxuan to serve you."

That Lingxuan is a place to spend a wonderful night together.

Madam Hua was overjoyed, her eyes and eyebrows practically beaming: "Someone, Miss Jiaojiao is officially registered tonight."

Two clever young maids then helped her to a magnificent room at the far end of the second floor.

As Shirley walked, she cursed inwardly, "That brat, I wonder what tricks he's up to." Mama Hua, accompanied by two old women, poured several cups of wine into her mouth without saying a word. She struggled in vain and was thrown onto the bed, panting.

Madam Hua smiled and said, "My good daughter, serve the young master well and don't even think about running away. If you dare to cause any more trouble, you'll be sorry."

After drinking two glasses of some kind of wine, Shirley felt weak all over and her mouth was dry. Oh no, could she have been given an aphrodisiac? She quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial storage and drank until she was full, hoping to increase blood circulation and help flush out the toxins through urine.

Jin Cheng grinned from ear to ear as he watched Xue Li being taken away, and leisurely drank a few cups of wine. Seeing his happy expression, Luo Chuan knew he wasn't a casual person and couldn't help but ask him, "Does the young master know this young lady? How come you want to spend the night with her after just one sentence?" The young lady was beautiful, but Jin Cheng wasn't the kind of person who was so eager to please.

Jin Cheng said smugly, "We not only know each other, but we're also very destined to meet." Ha, he and Wen Xiangli were both looking for someone, but he was the one who found her first. It's like finding a needle in a haystack without any effort at all.

He said to Mr. Luo Chuan with a smug look on his face, "Sir, I need to catch up with this young lady. You and the lieutenant general can continue your drinks. I'll take my leave now."

The lieutenant general gave him a hearty laugh and exchanged an ambiguous glance with Mr. Luo Chuan.

Jin Cheng opened the door to Lingxuan. Xue Li was pacing anxiously. When she saw him come in, she immediately said to him, "Jin Cheng, I have something to tell you."

Jin Cheng slowly approached her, admiring her charming face, and said, "Speak."

"Supervisor, last time Duan Jingyu sent me away, I escaped halfway and suffered a lot. Please rescue me; I want to find Commander Wen. After all, I'm Commander Wen's man," Xue Li said hurriedly. She wanted to remind him that she was Wen Xiangli's woman, and a colleague's wife was not to be trifled with. He had better not make any moves on her. If he hadn't forcibly taken her away from Wen Xiangli back then, none of this would have happened.

When Jin Cheng heard her mention Wen Xiangli as soon as she opened her mouth, and that she wanted to go back to him, he was shocked to find that she was still thinking about another man, even though he, a handsome and rich man, was thinking about her.

Ah, woman, you're really something!

He frowned unhappily and said, "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

When Shirley saw his face darken, she knew he was angry. He was a rich young master with a terrible temper, so she quickly put on a crying voice and said, "I have suffered a lot and been displaced for the past few months. They kidnapped me here and forced me into prostitution."

She shook his arm and coaxed him, "I didn't come here voluntarily. I've tried to run away several times, but I've been caught and brought back each time. Please help me, please save me."

Jin Cheng scrutinized her for a while. Her skin was smooth and tender all over, her figure was curvaceous, and her slender hands were fair and delicate. She was even more beautiful and radiant than before. She didn't look like she had suffered any hardship at all.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shirley quickly said, "I don't know what kind of medicine that madam fed me, but I feel terrible all over. Please take me to see a doctor."

Jin Cheng smiled as he looked at her flushed face, knowing she must have been naughty, always causing trouble, and had been forced to drink alcohol by the madam. He felt both sorry for her and amused.

A surge of tenderness welled up in his heart, and he pulled her into his arms, whispering into her delicate earlobe, "The doctor can't cure this medicine, but it just so happens that I can."

His warm breath brushed against her earlobe, making Shirley's heart ache like it was overgrown with weeds. Before she could speak, his lips were on hers, a long kiss leaving her breathless. Jin Cheng's kissing skills were excellent; this kiss was domineering and lingering, a gradual progression of kissing, touching, sucking, and licking. He was also adept at understanding her emotions and reactions, waiting until she was completely melted before skillfully prying open her teeth with his tongue to continue his conquest.

Before long, whether it was due to his seduction or the effects of the drugs, Sherry unknowingly lost her composure, her mind went blank, and she began to let him do as he pleased.

Just as the two were getting to the crucial moment, Sherry was suddenly overcome by the urge to urinate. Her mind cleared slightly, and she gasped, "I need to go to the toilet!"

Jin Cheng looked up at her incredulously: "What did you say?"

"I need to pee." I just drank a lot of water, and now I can't hold it in anymore.

Jin Cheng was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that she wasn't joking, he could only patiently lift her up and personally take her behind the screen on the west side.

"Get out of here, I can't get out."

Jin Cheng was so angry he laughed. Helpless, he had no choice but to leave, telling her to quickly take care of her physiological needs.

He waited patiently for her for a while, his heart burning with passion.

She waited for a long time but didn't come out.

He had no choice but to run over and ask her again, "Are you done yet?"

No one answered.

He peeked out and saw that there was no one there!

That little devil escaped through the window again.

Before Jin Cheng could go out to look for her himself, two burly men dragged her back.

Upon seeing him, Sherry blushed deeply and hurriedly explained, "I just went out to use the restroom."

Jin Cheng impatiently waved the two men away and carried her back to Lingxuan.

He tossed her onto the bed, stood tall and elegant in front of it, and stared at her for a long while, until her face turned even redder.

Jin Cheng asked her patiently, "You don't want to be with me?" His gaze was intense, making her lower her head and remain silent.

Sherry didn't want to submit to him. She had just tasted freedom and had no desire to be a man's caged bird again. But she was also afraid of offending him, afraid that he would leave her in a fit of anger.

She looked up and scrutinized his face. His expression was serious, devoid of his usual frivolity; he seemed genuinely angry. Knowing it was best not to provoke this young master, she tried to appease him, saying, "I just don't want to be here with you. This place is filthy; I was kidnapped!"

"So you're willing to be with me?"

Their eyes met; her gaze flickered, and her breathing became unsteady.

Shirley looked at him. This guy was handsome, rich, and from a good family. It wouldn't be bad to be with him, but she was of lowly birth and destined not to be his wife. If she were with him, she would only be a concubine, like a dodder vine, living off him and being a woman who amused him.

Where else can you find the freedom and ease of being a free person?

But right now, if I don't go with him, I'll have to go with other lousy men. Comparing the two, I'll choose him!

Just before a storm was brewing on his face, Sherry made up her mind and stopped struggling in vain.

She took two deep breaths, mustered her courage, and whispered, "Actually, I... I really like you..."

One sentence was enough to brighten Jin Cheng's cloudy mood.

So this is how the image of the icy male lead's handsome face melting away is visualized.

He pounced on her without hesitation; the little vixen's skin was smooth and delicate, and her scent was sweet and fragrant, which intoxicated him.

He closed his eyes and gently inhaled her scent. "Why do you smell so good?"

Sherry felt extremely uncomfortable with him. She cradled his head in her hands to stop him from doing anything wrong, and blurted out, "It's from taking a bath..."

He straddled her, glaring at her intently, and said, "I want you to look at me." Sherry breathed heavily and obediently looked at him.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You like Wen Xiangli?"

"Hmm, I don't really like it..."

"Do you still want to follow him?" he asked again.

"I don't want to follow anyone..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "So you like Duan Jingyu?"

"I never liked him!"

Jin Cheng's lips curved into a smile.

"Say you like me!"

"Didn't I just say that?"

"Speak quickly!"

He threatened to press down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

I like you, I love you!

A satisfied smile played on his lips as he resumed his conquests.

In the warm embrace of the hibiscus-scented tent, amidst the rolling waves, he relentlessly pursued her, finally winning the woman he had longed for!

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, he held her close, pressed his arm against her back, and asked, "Were you happy?"

Sherry opened his eyes, his eyes filled with the satisfaction and sweetness after a storm: "As expected, there's no need to see a doctor." Just as he was about to proudly curl the corners of his lips and boast about how amazing he was, the little vixen added: "It's just that your technique isn't good enough and needs further improvement."

These few pertinent words struck a nerve with Mr. Jin, immediately igniting another storm. He treated her like a piece of paper, kneading and folding her until she transformed back into a paper crane, dancing gracefully and ethereal.
