After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 61 - Not Afraid
Chapter 61: Not Afraid
Wen Wanwan stretched out her hand to cover Wen Fufu’s lips.
“Alright, stop fooling around in front of Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
Wen Wanwan’s cheeks flushed red as if steam would start pouring from her forehead if Wen Fufu said anything more.
It took Wen Fufu a while to break free from her sister’s grasp. She stood up, winked playfully at Jiang Huai, and said,
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother, think it over carefully.”
Jiang Huai was torn between laughter and tears, but Wen Fufu had already slipped away.
“I’m going back to my room to rest, you two chat.”
With that, she hurried back to her room. Jiang Huai turned his gaze to Wen Wanwan, whose voice was slightly timid.

“My sister… children speak without restraint, please don’t take it to heart, Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
Jiang Huai chuckled, “If I do take it to heart, does Wanwan really intend to give herself to me?”
Wen Wanwan’s cheeks turned even more embarrassingly red.
Jiang Huai suddenly found Wen Wanwan’s blushing face adorable. Perhaps because she usually presented herself with a cool demeanor, her current blush seemed all the more interesting. But before he could ponder further, Wen Wanwan muttered very softly.
“Wanwan… dares to give herself to Jiang Huai Senior Brother, but… does Jiang Huai Senior Brother dare to accept?”
“Hahaha, what are you saying? I didn’t hear clearly. Why don’t we go to the pharmacy now and see if your sister has collected all the herbs?” Jiang Huai pretended to be confused.
Fortunately, Wen Wanwan was also an expert at playing dumb. She hummed softly.
“Then… wait for me to change clothes, Jiang Huai Senior Brother. Wanwan can only… be seen by Jiang Huai Senior Brother like this.”
She stood up, and Jiang Huai watched her legs under her robe, so white and smooth like warm jade, tempting one to hold and caress them.
Jiang Huai stared unblinkingly until she returned to her room, then he knocked on his own head.
Do not commit small evils, Jiang Huai Jr.! Restrain! Restrain!
Wen Wanwan changed into a snow-colored long dress.
Her wardrobe was not extensive, and she never made an effort to dress up, yet she was still the most talked-about fairy of Huangjian Mountain. The dress, bought several years ago during a sect discount, seemed a bit too tight now, accentuating her slender waistline excessively. Before leaving, Jiang Huai pressed her into a chair and stood behind her to braid her hair.
After finishing her hair, Jiang Huai inserted a wooden hairpin into her locks and held a mirror in front of her.
“How does this hairstyle look?”
“Very pretty,” Wen Wanwan replied softly.
She obediently came to Jiang Huai’s side, and they walked out together.
She asked softly, “How does Jiang Huai Senior Brother know how to braid hair?”
“Because Qingyu isn’t very good at it, so I learned quite a bit for her,” Jiang Huai said softly.
He intended to mention that the end of the year was his wedding day with Luo Qingyu, but when he turned to see Wen Wanwan’s lowered lashes, he didn’t know how to say it.
Damn it, Jiang Huai, didn’t you always hate those indecisive and oblivious male protagonists in Japanese anime? Are you going to become one of those pathetic characters now?
Walking beside him, Wen Wanwan felt a little uneasy as many disciples glanced at them, but deep down, she felt an inexplicable satisfaction.
The journey to the pharmacy wasn’t long, and Jiang Huai soon met Elder Qin, who had almost collected all the herbs he needed. Jiang Huai thanked Elder Qin, took the herbs, and planned to refine them the next morning.
Refining medicine is a delicate process, and doing it at different times of the day can make subtle differences, a detail even many alchemists don’t know. Jiang Huai’s favorite pastime was studying ancient alchemy texts, and his alchemy skills were far superior to the best alchemist of Alchemy Mountain.
After getting the herbs, Jiang Huai thought for a moment and escorted Wen Wanwan back to her courtyard. Just as he was about to leave, Wen Wanwan reached out and gently grabbed his sleeve.
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother… would you like to sit for a while longer? I made some pastries a few days ago and wanted to give them to Jiang Huai Senior Brother, but you weren’t in the courtyard.”
“Hmm? Let’s try them.”
So Jiang Huai sat in the pavilion of Wen Wanwan’s courtyard, and she sat opposite him, bringing out the pastries. They were peach blossom cakes, and Jiang Huai tasted one, finding it delicious.
“Hmm, tasty.” Jiang Huai could also make peach blossom cakes.
He had always wondered if he could somehow use Chu Xianning’s saliva in the recipe, but the thought was too perverse, so he abandoned it.
Speaking of which, he still had three jars of Forgetsorrow Wine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Huai took out a jar.
“I won some wine at Qingxuan Sect recently, want to try it?”
He and Chu Xianning couldn’t finish the three jars by themselves, so he might as well share. Wen Wanwan nodded obediently, her voice soft.
“But I can’t hold my liquor. If I say something strange after drinking too much, Jiang Huai Senior Brother mustn’t laugh at me.”
“How could I?”
Jiang Huai arranged the cups, and Wen Wanwan lifted hers, looking seriously at Jiang Huai.
“I’ll toast to Jiang Huai Senior Brother first.”
“Why so formal?”
“If I hadn’t met Jiang Huai Senior Brother, I don’t know what I would have become,” Wen Wanwan’s voice was sincere.
“I always thought my fate was full of hardships, as if everything was bitter, but it seems like everything started to get better after meeting Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
“There are always unlucky and bad things in life, but as long as you keep hope, you’ll always get through,” Jiang Huai quickly lifted his cup, clinked it lightly with Wen Wanwan’s, and she drank the wine in her cup.
Forgetsorrow Wine is good, but it definitely makes one dizzy. That time in Luo Yueguan, after drinking too much, she went crazy and bit his lips. Jiang Huai suddenly became uneasy. What if Wen Wanwan said something strange after getting drunk? How would he cope?
But the wine was his own doing, and it was too late for regrets.
After one drink, Wen Wanwan’s body was already swaying slightly. She quickly picked up the wine jug, refilled Jiang Huai’s cup, and poured herself another. But soon, she leaned on the table, looking up at Jiang Huai.
“Does Jiang Huai Senior Brother think… Wanwan is pretty?”
“Pretty, yes.”
“Then why… does Jiang Huai Senior Brother look at Wanwan… without any desire?”
“Hmm?”
Jiang Huai blinked innocently, “Maybe Jiang Huai Senior Brother is good at pretending to be a gentleman, always sneaking glances when you don’t realize.”
Wen Wanwan chuckled.
“I always feel… like Jiang Huai Senior Brother is deliberately keeping a distance from me.”
“After all, Jiang Huai Senior Brother is a man with a family.”
“But aren’t you not married yet?”
Wen Wanwan’s voice carried a hint of grievance. Jiang Huai was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the foot of the young girl had stealthily made its way to his side, her toes gently rubbing against his leg.
“I seem to have only seen Jiang Huai Senior Brother sneak peeks at my ankles…”
Jiang Huai’s face turned red.
“If, if Jiang Huai Senior Brother likes it, then feet, or whatever… I, I can…”
Wen Wanwan’s voice was timid, her cheeks flushed, and her foot under the table was restless, seemingly trying to rest on his leg. Jiang Huai intended to grab her ankle and say something dignified and gentlemanly, but her ankle was so soft that once he grabbed it, he didn’t want to let go.
Damn it, Jiang Huai Jr.!
The girl’s foot was delicate. At this moment, the arch of her foot was slightly tense, her toes curled up, aiming towards his embrace. Jiang Huai reached out and gently grasped her foot.
“You’re very restless after just one drink.”
“I usually… don’t have the courage…”
“It’s good to be timid. If you were brave, Jiang Huai Senior Brother would be doomed.”
Jiang Huai’s fingertips gently caressed her foot, and as Wen Wanwan’s toes curled up in shyness, Jiang Huai playfully spread them apart and then quickly brought them back together. He was enjoying himself until Wen Wanwan picked up her cup again and looked at Jiang Huai.
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother, let’s rest for a while, it’s ticklish… let’s drink.”
Jiang Huai came back to his senses, realizing what he had been doing for the past minute. He immediately withdrew his hands and lifted his cup with a serious face.
“Who told you to test Jiang Huai Senior Brother? Look, Jiang Huai Senior Brother failed the test, didn’t I?”
Wen Wanwan’s cheeks showed shallow dimples.
“Then… Wanwan wants to test Jiang Huai Senior Brother in other ways.”
“Hmm? No, I can’t handle it!”
Jiang Huai was quite aware of his self-control.
Wen Wanwan’s lips pouted slightly, and she sat up straighter, bringing the cup to Jiang Huai.
“Wanwan will feed Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
Jiang Huai obediently opened his mouth, allowing her to bring the cup to his lips. After drinking all the wine in the cup, Wen Wanwan’s lips parted slightly, looking into Jiang Huai’s eyes.
“Now it’s Jiang Huai Senior Brother’s turn to feed me.”
Jiang Huai filled the cup and brought it to the girl’s lips, and Wen Wanwan opened her mouth, her white teeth also parting slightly. She tilted her head back slightly, and Jiang Huai tilted the cup bit by bit. But because she drank slowly, some wine trickled down the corners of her mouth, flowing down her collarbone into her dress and quietly sliding into her bosom.
“It’s cold.”
Wen Wanwan reached out and gently tugged at her neckline, looking at Jiang Huai Senior Brother with a grievance.
“On purpose.”
“No, not at all,” Jiang Huai protested, feeling wronged as he had been very careful.
“Then… help Wanwan clean it up, Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
Jiang Huai took a handkerchief, approached the young girl’s collarbone, and carefully wiped away the glistening wine, but Wen Wanwan complained softly, “There’s more below.”
She gently tugged at her neckline, and Jiang Huai’s handkerchief had to move down a little, his fingertips touching some softness. He looked up to see Wen Wanwan’s flushed face and suddenly reached out to pinch her cheek.
“Aren’t you afraid that Jiang Huai Senior Brother really can’t resist the test and strips off all your clothes?”
“Not afraid.” Wen Wanwan bit her lip, her eyes lighting up quietly.
