Lin Chong's Women's Cuju Team

Chapter 149 Wu Song declares he will not abandon Du Rushuang

When Du Rushuang saw that Du Shiniang and Lin Chong had left her alone with Wu Song, her face turned even redder. She patted Wu Song's chest and shouted at him, "Let me go! This is the main hall. If the bodyguards and maids see us being so intimate, how will I save face?"

Wu Song's roguish lips curled into a smile as he pulled Du Rushuang back behind the screen. Du Rushuang tried to escape his embrace, but Wu Song slammed her against the wall behind the screen, his lips suddenly sealed against hers. Du Rushuang felt a barrage of domineering and passionate kisses assail her. Her fingernails dug deep into his shoulders and back, leaving red marks through his clothes, but he didn't seem to care, continuing to devour her mouth like a madman.

Enraged, Du Rushuang bit Wu Song's lower lip hard, drawing blood. The man hissed and released the woman, his eyes still gleaming with lust. He looked at her angrily and said, "Shuang'er, did you think you could get rid of me by walking away on that cliff that day? You wanted to take advantage of me and then abandon me, huh?"

"What do you mean by starting something and then abandoning it? I'm just setting things right. I fell in love with you because I had amnesia. Now that I've regained my memory, I know clearly that the person I love most is A-Wen. Please stop bothering me, okay?" Du Rushuang's eyes welled up with tears after being provoked by Wu Song, and she pleaded with him.

"Yelü Wen, do you really love him? Or is it just to repay a debt of gratitude? You silly woman, can you even tell what love is? The feelings we had when we were together were pure love, weren't they?" Wu Song gently touched the trace of blood on the corner of the woman's lips, not knowing whether it was his or her blood, and questioned her in a gentle yet firm tone.

“I can tell the difference! I love Awen, I loved her before, I love her now, and I will be her wife in the future.” Du Rushuang looked into Wu Song’s eyes and patiently explained.

"Wife? You're actually going to marry Yelü Wen out of gratitude? What about Du Shiniang? When you lost your memory and accidentally wandered into Zixiang Pavilion, if it weren't for Du Shiniang saving you, you might have been arrested by the Imperial Guards long ago. Are you going to break off all ties with her now because of Yelü Wen?" Wu Song looked at Du Rushuang with disappointment and spoke to her sarcastically.

"Do you know how Yelü Wen got out of Dali Temple? It was Du Shiniang who recanted her testimony in front of the dog emperor, saying that she had misunderstood Yelü Wen's identity and that she risked the crime of deceiving the emperor to save him. In addition, Chen Jinhuan pretended to have her old headache flare up again and insisted that only Yelü Wen could cure her. Only then did the dog emperor release Yelü Wen. Didn't Yelü Wen tell you any of this?"

Du Rushuang truly didn't know that Du Shiniang had recanted her confession and rescued Zhang Ruowen. Ning Weizhi hadn't told her when she picked up Zhang Ruowen either, only saying that Zhang Ruowen had been cleared of suspicion and released by the emperor. After listening to Wu Song's words, Du Rushuang lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Seeing that Du Rushuang's expression had softened a bit, Wu Song released the woman in his arms.

Du Rushuang immediately distanced herself from Wu Song, leaning against the screen to catch her breath. Du Rushuang knew Wu Song's words were an attempt to persuade Du Shiniang, but she had indeed calmed down and was no longer as resistant to Du Shiniang's invitation as before. She decided to rejoin Lin Chong's women's Cuju team. Whether for the sake of the people of both Jin and Song, or to repay Du Shiniang's kindness, she was determined to fight the Jin women's Cuju team.

"Wu Song, go tell Shi Niang that I've agreed to rejoin her and Brother Lin's women's Cuju team. But I agreed for the sake of the people of both Jin and Song, not for her, and certainly not because you persuaded me," Du Rushuang said, glancing at Wu Song with pursed lips.

"A woman who's all talk and no action!" Wu Song said, looking at Du Rushuang with a doting gaze. Du Rushuang felt that Wu Song's gaze was dangerous, so she quickly turned around and pressed her face against the screen to avoid looking at him. She urged him, "Why don't you hurry up and leave? I'm busy and don't have time to waste talking to you here."

Wu Song chuckled softly, then pulled Du Rushuang into a tight embrace from behind, resting his face on her shoulder and speaking gently, "Shuang'er, Yelü Wen insists on helping the Wolf King rebel, and you'll be in danger if you follow him. I'm glad you agreed to Du Shiniang's request to return to the women's Cuju team. As long as you have the status of a member of the Song Dynasty's women's Cuju team, I believe the Wolf King won't dare to openly harm you. But no matter what happens in the future, I will always silently stay by your side, Shuang'er, I'll wait for you to turn back!"

"You...you stop here...sweet talk, get out of here!" Du Rushuang gently pushed the man, muttering an incomplete sentence that sounded more like she was being coquettish. Seeing this, Wu Song felt a tightness in his lower abdomen and quickly moved away from the woman's soft body.

Wu Song knew that if he didn't leave soon, he would have to make advances on the woman again, so he sighed softly, turned around and left behind the screen. But after taking three steps, he turned back to look at the woman's figure behind the screen, and said reluctantly, "Shuang'er, don't think about leaving me. I will always protect you." The woman behind the screen shifted her body slightly, but dared not respond to the man's words.

After Wu Song left, Du Shiniang and Lin Chong also took their leave. Du Rushuang didn't see them off; it was Jiang Rufei who escorted them. After seeing his guests off, he returned to his room and overheard Bai He reporting to Zhang Ruowen about Du Shiniang and Wu Song's visit to the escort agency. Zhang Ruowen, upon hearing that Wu Song had swaggered in to see Du Rushuang and deliberately made advances towards his woman, turned ashen-faced, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, though he didn't show it to Du Rushuang.

When Du Rushuang brought the medicine into the room, Zhang Ruowen was leaning against the headboard reading a medical book. He seemed not to see Du Rushuang enter the room and ignored her. Du Rushuang guessed that the man might know about her meeting with Du Shiniang, Wu Song, and others, and was in a bad mood, so she cautiously probed:

"Ah Wen, it's time to take your medicine. Did Baihe tell you about my sworn sister Du Shiniang, Brother Lin Chong, and Wu Song coming to see me this afternoon? Are you unhappy?"

Zhang Ruowen still hadn't put down his book, deliberately using it to obscure Du Rushuang's face, and didn't answer her questions. Seeing this, Du Rushuang patiently explained to Zhang Ruowen, "Awen, I don't know how Wu Song found this place. He's only here to act as an intermediary for my sister, persuading me to rejoin the Song Dynasty's women's Cuju team. I already made it clear to Wu Song when I helped him escape at Sunset Cliff that I would only be with you from now on, and asked him to stop bothering me..."

"He forcibly kissed you today, didn't he?" Zhang Ruowen angrily put down the book in her hand, pulled Du Rushuang into her arms, and stared at her somewhat helpless eyes as she questioned her.

"Yes! But I pushed him away forcefully, and I even told him I would only marry you... I... um... um..." Before Du Rushuang could finish explaining, Zhang Ruowen swallowed the rest of her words. Du Rushuang could only let the man kiss her lips wildly as if in revenge. She responded passionately to the man while gently hugging his neck until he was satisfied. Then, like a soft osmanthus cake, she clung to the man's arms with misty eyes.

"Shuang'er, promise me that from now on you can only let me kiss you, and you can never let any other man kiss you, okay?" Zhang Ruowen gently stroked the stringy traces of water on Du Rushuang's lips, warning her in a slightly domineering tone.

"Alright! I will never be alone with Wu Song again." Du Rushuang replied, still slightly breathless. Zhang Ruowen half-closed his eyes, gently kissed the woman's lips, and coaxed softly, "Good girl! I want you to feed me the medicine with your mouth."
