Arc 1: Escaped Woman x Escaped from Marriage – 09

I Can’t Believe You’re Doing This

The next day, Ke Li found was different. Especially when she dressed, Shi Jian would always stare at her and her eyes were strange.

Her gaze examined her, yet it looked as if she was scrutinizing her. Meaning, she felt awfully uncomfortable, furthermore her line of sight was deliberate, as if she’s been seen through.

From the previous experience, Ke Li put on her clothes quickly, for fear that Shi Jian would inexplicably come and examine her chest. No matter how thick her face was, she couldn’t be a dignified person in front of her again.

Doudou: [……]

However, in the next moment, the dignified person ran to hold Shi Jian’s hand, blushed slightly and softly asked, “Sister Shi Jian, why do you stare at me like that?”

She was very shy and embarrassed. She wanted to be close to Shi Jian, but felt that when she got close, Shi Jian shrank her hand, which seemed like a clear rejection of her.

Ke Li seamlessly retract her hand, don’t tell me that the female owner’s mind has collapsed?

It’s not surprising considering what she had said yesterday. Today, her body was especially repulsed by her. What’s more, she wasn’t really bent. What could Ke Li do if she really wants to bend?

However, they still need to progress and interact with the depth of their souls.

It’s true that Shi Jian didn’t feel at ease, but it’s not because she likes women, but because she suspects that Ke Li liked her since the beginning and she deliberately seduce her. So, she was overwhelmed at the sudden intimacy and could only choose to escape.

But she didn’t know Ke Li before and couldn’t understand why she would be attracted to her.

She said frankly: “I didn’t see anything, but suddenly somewhat not accustomed to it.”

She wasn’t used to people around her that liked women.

Ke Li nodded her head to show her understanding. When she found out that she had to fall in love with the female host, she wasn’t used to it. She only briefly digested yesterday’s affairs.

When they stood together, the room suddenly became quiet. Shi Jian thought about it and asked again, “When will you go back?”

”I don’t know…” Ke Li stopped in time and corrected herself. “Years ago.”

Shi Jian faintly replied “Oh”, reminding Ke Li to quickly wash up so they could go out to eat. Ke Li then went to wash.

Ke Li followed closely, looking at Shi Jian’s back, wondering what medicine she sold in her gourd.

She had to go back years ago, so she must find a way to finish this task in less than a month, but the relationship couldn’t be born in a month.

During the meal, Ke Li quietly looked at Shi Jian again, and found that she still showed no signs of bending. They both didn’t bend. It seems that they really have to figure it out themselves.

She secretly looked at her hand, her nails were still short. The nails were round and lovely. If the affection value was reached, she had to do it, or not, or…

Doudou hurriedly asked: [What is it?]

Ke Li sighed, “I’m reluctant, I can’t bear to use such beautiful nails.”

Doudou: […]

Determination shone in her eyes, relying on her single strength.1 It’s a subtle meaning, so with her determination she’s going to use her “single” skills to capture Shi Jian…so single guys are experts at jerking off…well she’s an expert on fingering herself.

In order to let the female host, understand and bend as soon as possible, these days Ke Li tries her best to deepen the affection with Shi Jian. So, she intentionally or unintentionally come into physical contact.

At this time, Shi Jian once again confirmed that Ke Li must be seducing her.

After a few days of Ke Li’s performance, Shi Jian became more and more convinced in her mind. Otherwise, how could Ke Li take off her clothes from time to time in front of her and reveal the large snowy white skin? Finally, her face turned red.

However, Ke Li was used to living alone. She always took off her clothes whenever she wanted.

Since transmigrating into this world, many of her bad habits have been changed. She occasionally forgets and only takes off her clothes in front of Shi Jian. When she turns around, she blushes shyly.

In fact, she didn’t often strip in front of Shi Jian before, that is, until the trauma from the Plum Garden and she was quite casual during other times. Before, Shi Jian had no ghost in her heart, she felt that everything was normal. But now that she looks at it and have ghosts in her heart, it was all a psychological effect.

Qing Zhu, “Miss, your letter.”

When Shi Jian looked at it, the expression on her face suddenly became ugly.

When Ke Li saw her, she asked sadly, “Sister Shi Jian, what’s wrong?”

Shi Jian was silent for a long time and replied, “Lin Wentian’s letter.”

”Slag man?” When she saw Shi Jian, she looked at herself with strange eyes. Ke Li immediately changed her tune, “Can you show me?”

At that time, Shi Jian inexplicably looked at Ke Li and handed her the letter.

In the letter, Lin Wentian asked to come see the female lord to make amends. In addition, he had something to ask her and had to meet her. There was deep affection written between the lines. If it wasn’t for Ke Li’s knowledge that the slag man was broken, she would have almost believed it.

As expected, he has the protagonist’s halo, even if he was a slag. Ke Li returned the letter to Shi Jian: “Are you going to see him?”

”Go.” When Shi Jian finished her word, she stared at Ke Li’s face.

Ke Li smiled back and said, “It’s good he wants to meet you. I’ll go with you.”

She was thinking that she must let Shi Jian see Lin Wentian’s true face this time. She’d better take Dong Ge with her as well and witness Lin Wentian’s bottom at once, so she can make full preparations for later abuse.

At the time, Shi Jian was suddenly silent, she thought Ke Li was seducing her, so she was close to her everywhere. But now, she suddenly doubted her own judgement.

Ke Li seemed to want to see Lin Wentian?

She previously believed that Ke Li had no feelings for Lin Wentian, but now she’s shaken. After all, they were just two people that met by chance, though clearly calculated.

At this time, Shi Jian couldn’t understand, so Ke Li repeated herself, “It’s best to bring Princess Gong Ge as well.”

”You want to bring the princess to the brothel district? Are you joking?”

Shi Jian was a little surprised and only felt that Ke Li thought of everything. In the letter, Lin Wentian asked to meet in a brothel, saying that it was convenient to hide her identity there.

Ke Li nodded to show that she wasn’t joking. Instead, she looked very serious and said, “Sister Shi Jian, do you believe me?”

”Believe.” Shi Jian didn’t know why she asked, but she replied according to her heart.

She knew that Ke Li must have other concerns in her mind, but she thought she might have other thoughts, such as the number of beautiful women in that place.

Ke Li didn’t know she was labeled as a “color woman”.2 Literally translates to colored girl…but the slang could mean horny/dirty/flirty/erotic girl. She said with a smile, “That settles it.”

It’s common for women to go out in public, but the more powerful people are, the more restricted they are. So, this was Shi Jian’s first time going to a brothel.

The three of them dressed up as royal guards of a prince, along the way they made simple jokes. As soon as they arrived, girls flocked to them. They thought that Shi Jian’s face was too cold and uncongenial. So, they went to the most handsome Ke Li one after the other.

Dong Ge watched the good play and said with ease, “A’Shi Jian, your family3 Your family…the characters for that translations also means “bent wife” but I think Princess Gong Ge meant it as a low-key pun/meaning to Shi Jian. is very popular, all the men and women wants to eat her.”

”…” Shi Jian didn’t speak, but the air around her became colder.

Seeing that a woman’s hand was about to wrap around Ke Li’s waist, she suddenly pulled Ke Li away and protected her. She frowned and said: “Don’t you know martial arts?”

Don’t you know how to hide?

As she said this, her nose wrinkled and found that Ke Li smelled from the heavily perfumed women.

Ke Li whispered, “Everyone is a woman. It’s not good to use martial arts. Besides, you will protect me.”

Although Shi Jian didn’t answer, her face was much better.

They came in advance and went to the room next to Lin Wentian’s appointed room. As the saying goes, money will make the Devil turn millstones.4 Idiom – Money will make the Devil turn millstones; with money, you can do anything you like The female brothel keeper at once saw Shi Jian’s extravagant disposal of money.

”Why do you want to come to such a place suddenly? What do you want to play?” Dong Ge only thought that she wanted to come out and play this time. She has been here for a long time. Besides going to the Plum Garden, she has never gone anywhere else for a good time. It’s a pity to return to the capital.

”Wait.”

”To catch adultery.”

Ke Li and Shi Jian said in unison. At last, they looked at each other. Ke Li was about to say something but hurriedly said, “It’s just for fun, to try something different.”

”Click.” Dong Ge looks deeply at Shi Jian.

The three people had a good time drinking. Ke Li didn’t dare to drink more. She had been eating the entire time. It was really because her drinking capacity was small and was afraid of delaying the business.

After three rounds of wine, they heard footsteps outside the door, Ke Li immediately got up and peeped into the next room from the small hole that had been long prepared.

The female brothel keeper informed them of that small hole. She didn’t know how the hole was created. Through the hole, she could clearly see the table and bed in the next room. Anyway, it was all straightly within sight and the sound insulation effect was good.

Dong Ge from the palace was very knowledgeable. She shook her head at Ke Li and said, “I didn’t expect that you would have a good time.”

Unexpectedly she likes to see people’s bedroom matters, truly couldn’t tell.

Ke Li: “…”

She didn’t care and made a “Shhh” sound. She continued to stare through the hole, only to see a handsome young man slowly walking to the table, where he leisurely drinks and held a woman in a light gauze in his arms, from time to time, he kissed and touched her.

Ke Li’s face turned black and asked the system, “Is this the man from my pen? What a devil!”

[It’s the male master, but now it’s a scum male.]

Ke Li once again regretted giving the male lead a handsome complexion that defied the natural order. She lowered her head to observe the movements inside, only to feel anxious eyes on her back and turned around quickly. At the same time, she said to Shi Jian, “Sister Shi Jian, come have a look.”

Shi Jian knew her intentions and leaned down to take a look.

”…” Dong Ge’s chin almost fell to the ground and her face was incredulous, “Is this really proper?”

No one answered her, but Shi Jian’s brows wrinkled, and she slowly withdrew and walked to Ke Li’s side.

Dong Ge suddenly gave birth to some curiosity. She took a look and said, “Is this Lin Wentian?”

”It’s him.” Shi Jian was quietly drinking, it was now one hour before the allotted time and she was always on time, no wonder Lin Wentian dared to be so unbridled.

She thought she was blind again.

Always unclear about people.

One hour later.

When Shi Jian met Lin Wentian, Lin Wentian had become affectionate, there was no mess in the room, but Shi Jian felt sick.

Lin Wentian actually came to borrow money and promised to come back after he had achieved something and will definitely give a beautiful wedding to Shi Jian.

Because of Ke Li, Shi Jian doesn’t even have the mind to take Lin Wentian back to discipline him, let alone to allow him to borrow money from her. She hates being deceived the most.

”You and I have never had a relationship, not now, not in the future.”

Lin Wentian didn’t expect to bump against a gray nose5 Gray nose – (literal) to have one’s nose rubbed in the dirt; (fig) to meet with a sharp rebuff and stood up and said: “A’Shi Jian.”

”By the way, you don’t deserve to say my name.” When Shi Jian finished, she left the room cleanly.

When she came out, she didn’t see Ke Li, so she asked Dong Ge, who had been drinking muggy wine suddenly.

Dong Ge smiled and said: “Only the ghosts know what fun she is looking for. By the way, I heard that your Sister Qu is the daughter of General Jiang Guoda?”

Dong Ge has always been well-informed with news, Shi Jian didn’t answered and swept her eyes within the room, she asked, “Where is she?”

”I don’t know.” Dong Ge was a little drunk. She laid on the table and begun to mumble.

Shi Jian looked at her helplessly and opened the door to find Ke Li. As soon as she opened the door, she saw that Ke Li had returned. Her face was red, and her arms were stuffed with things.

Shi Jian squinted and asked, “What is that?”

Ke Li hurried to hide her things and pretended to be stupid, “Nothing.”

It’s not a long story.

Ke Li thought about things that should be in a brothel and wanted to borrow from the female brothel owner but didn’t expect to be teased.

”It didn’t occur to me that gongzi6 Gongzi – son of an official/nobility would have a good time.” The female brothel owner was an experienced person.7 For my SLOW SLOW readers, Ke Li went to that experienced owner to ask for “toys” and the owner looked at her like she was a young man who ENJOYS being pegged by a woman. The jokes are real. Pegging means a man who enjoys a woman dildoing his ass. Her eyes fluttered on Ke Li’s face, “Only gongzi’s body looks weak and thin, I’m afraid of you being crushed in bed.”

Ke Li: “… …”

It’s a subtle meaning, so with her determination she’s going to use her “single” skills to capture Shi Jian…so single guys are experts at jerking off…well she’s an expert on fingering herself.

Literally translates to colored girl…but the slang could mean horny/dirty/flirty/erotic girl.

Your family…the characters for that translations also means “bent wife” but I think Princess Gong Ge meant it as a low-key pun/meaning to Shi Jian.
