keep the moon

In the week after he married Draper, Jiang Shouyue discovered that the other party was actually much busier than he thought. He could often see the other party staying alone in the study until late, or going out very early until the evening just came back.

But to be honest, it was a good thing for Jiang Shouyue that the other party was so busy.

He doesn't need to expend too much energy on the opponent, and it is also extremely beneficial to his plan to assassinate Draper.

Jiang Shouyue began to stare out the window in a daze after thinking about it. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to know something about why Draper wanted to kill the guard.

As the Duke of Soyaodu District, Draper has such a high status that he doesn't need to be troubled by the same guard, unless that guard really did something.

When Jiang Shouyue heard the news that the guard had been killed, he was so shocked that he didn't pay too much attention to other information. In fact, the death of such a small guard hardly caused any splash in Suoyaodu District. Those who follow the other party will know the first time, and then ask someone to bring out their ashes for burial.

that guard...

Jiang Shouyue didn't even know the other party's name.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Shouyue suddenly saw Draper's car driving into the manor from the window.

Draper came back so early today.

Jiang Shouyue got up quickly, and then stuffed the gun in his hand back into the closet. Because of his own struggles, the plan was put on hold again.

When Draper entered the door, Jiang Shouyue just walked down the stairs, stepped forward to take off the other party's coat and handed it to the servants to wash, but before he could react, Jiang Shouyue felt herself being hugged , Jiang Shouyue smelled a slightly strong smell of alcohol when he was forced to lean in the opponent's arms.

Did Draper drink?

Jiang Shouyue reacted instantly and raised his eyes to look at the other person's face.

Draper's face didn't have the flush of drunkenness, but his eyes were more sober, and his blue and clear eyes were fixed on him, as if he was looking at his face very seriously.

"Draper?"

Jiang Shouyue called the other party softly. Hearing Jiang Shouyue's call, Draper raised his eyebrows inexplicably, then tilted his head and looked at him:

"Shou Yue?"

With a curious and tentative tone.

Hearing the other party's strange tone, Jiang Shouyue sensed that something was wrong. Before he could speak again, the other party suddenly raised his hand to touch his face, and then squeezed it hard. Jiang Shouyue groaned in pain, Hearing Jiang Shouyue's voice, Draper suddenly smiled:

"It doesn't look like a dream."

After finishing speaking, he kissed Jiang Shouyue, so strong that he couldn't resist, without giving Jiang Shouyue any time to prepare, the lips were directly pinched by the other party, holding the other's shoulder, Jiang Shouyue could feel the other party prying her open lips, and then deepened, driving the lingering relationship between the two.

Kissing and kissing, Jiang Shouyue's whole body was gradually pressed against the sofa by the other party, sinking in bit by bit, unable to move.

The alpha pressing on him was strong and gentle, its firm body covered him completely, Jiang Shouyue didn't dare to push the other away, his originally sober brain gradually became confused, and the smell of alcohol on the other party eroded his brain little by little For some reason, he faintly felt that the figure of the person on his body was gradually overlapping with that man.

Strange and familiar.

Except for the taste.

Jiang Shouyue's eyes became clear in an instant, and he could not be mistaken, what surrounded him at this moment was not the sweet scent of peach blossoms, but the strong and stimulating smell of citrus.

He's not him, Jiang Shouyue, how can you confuse these two?

Finding a gap, Jiang Shouyue struggled to speak:

"Draper, you're drunk."

Alpha paused when he heard his voice, then raised his head to look at him:

"What did you call me?"

"what?"

The other party's question caught Jiang Shouyue off guard. He raised his eyes to look at the other party with a puzzled tone.

"Draper...what?"

It took only a moment for Draper's face to turn from ignorance to sobriety. He looked at the omega in front of him who was being held under him, and because of his movements, his skin was faintly flushed, making him look even more attractive.

"Sorry, Shou Yue."

Draper stood up while covering his head,

"I'm a little drunk."

Feeling the lightness on her body, Jiang Shouyue breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly got up, looked at Draper, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and went forward to help him, but just touched him, Draper Er actually took two steps back to avoid his touch.

Jiang Shouyue's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, stared at the other party for a while, then retracted her hand, and then turned her head away.

"Shouyue, I'm sorry."

Draper panted heavily, seeming to be suffering,

"I'll take a shower first, and if you come down late, you can have dinner first."

After that, Draper turned around and walked upstairs, leaving only Jiang Shouyue standing downstairs with a puzzled face.

Draper had never been so baffled before, and Jiang Shouyue couldn't understand it this time.

After thinking about it, Jiang Shouyue suddenly thought of something, turned around and began to walk quickly towards the door. When he got to the door, Jiang Shouyue searched around, and indeed found the person he was looking for.

"Jojiu."

Jiang Shouyue yelled at the man. Ruojiu, who was wearing the uniform of the chief guard, could hear very well. He quickly turned his head to see who was calling him, and immediately became respectful, walking towards Jiang Shouyue quickly. , followed by a bow:

"lady."

"...you should call me Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Shouyue couldn't help but corrected the other party.

"Yes, Young Master Jiang."

Ruojiu was very obedient, and called Jiang Shouyue again.

"Ruojiu, how long have you been with the Duke?"

Jiang Shouyue thought for a while, and then asked the question on her mind, "Or, how long have you been a guard?"

Ruojiu was a little confused why Jiang Shouyue asked this question, but he still answered the other side truthfully:

"Back to Young Master Jiang, I have been serving as a royal bodyguard for 15 years, and this is the fifth year serving beside the Duke."

"That's a lot of experience."

Jiang Shouyue murmured, then raised her head and asked,

"Then do you know if the Duke has any taboos?"

"..."

Ruojiu was stunned for a while listening to Jiang Shouyue's question, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Jiang Shouyue saw the other party's hesitation, and hastily added another sentence:

"I just want to understand, and you understand that the time I spent with the Duke has only been together for two short months..."

"If that's the case, then Young Master Jiang doesn't have to worry. The Duke has very few taboos, and even if you commit a taboo, in Ruojiu's opinion, the Duke will not make things difficult for you."

Ruojiu smiled slightly, and the doubts on his face dissipated.

"Very few? But how did I hear that the Duke killed a guard a few months ago because he offended him?"

Jiang Shouyue finally threw out what he wanted to ask. He didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, Ruojiu's expression became a little strange. It seemed that he didn't expect Jiang Shouyue to ask this suddenly. There was a bit of vigilance in his eyes:

"How did Young Master Jiang hear about this?"

"I also overheard what the next person said, so I was a little curious."

Jiang Shouyue deliberately concealed it and replied cautiously.

"Master Jiang, it's better not to listen to these things. I will ask the housekeeper to discipline these servants. If there is another time, I will be severely punished."

Although Jiang Shouyue was talking nonsense, Ruojiu obviously took it seriously, and his tone became much more serious. After hearing the other party's words, Jiang Shouyue closed his questioning mouth, in case Ruojiu would do anything else.

"Understood, don't tell the Duke what I asked you. You also know that I will inevitably feel a little anxious when I get married."

Jiang Shouyue talked and said that she almost couldn't make it up anymore, anxious, what is the anxiety about being married?

"Alright, Young Master Jiang."

Ruojiu nodded.

"By the way, help me to inform the back kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup, and bring it up later with dinner."

After saying these words, Jiang Shouyue quickly turned around and went back to the house.

Draper obviously never came down, Jiang Shouyue sat alone on the sofa, recalling Ruojiu's reaction just now, if there was really no secret behind Draper's killing of the guard, then why Ruojiu's reaction was so strange.

Why?What happened between Draper and the guard?

Obviously knowing that there is no need to pursue the truth of this, and obviously only need to avenge that guard, why should he think so much?

Jiang Shouyue, what are you doing?

Shrinking himself into the sofa, Jiang Shouyue felt confused for the first time. He suddenly remembered Jiang Yi's ridicule the day before the wedding. The other party was right. What big things will happen.

"Don't worry about it so much, Jiang Shouyue, just kill him."

Sitting alone in the dark for a long time, Jiang Shouyue finally spoke softly, as if bewitching herself.

……

It wasn't too late when Draper went downstairs. Jiang Shouyue sat at the dining table, saw the other party take a seat, and raised his hand to pass over the hangover soup prepared earlier in the morning.

"Feeling okay? Have some hangover soup."

"Much better, thank you, Shouyue."

Draper took a look at the hangover soup, and thanked Jiang Shouyue with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be drunk."

Jiang Shouyue looked at Draper holding a bowl of hangover soup, and suddenly said silently.

Draper listened, the smile on his face became stronger, he put down the bowl and sighed softly:

"Alcohol is really not a good thing, but some things are hard to quit once you taste it."

"...I didn't tell you to quit drinking, just drink less next time."

"it is good."

Draper nodded without hesitation, "I will."

He was so obedient that he didn't look like a high-ranking duke at all.

"correct."

Draper seemed to have suddenly remembered something, rang the bell to call the housekeeper, and then told him to fetch something.

Jiang Shouyue didn't pay much attention to the whole process until the butler brought the item to him.

"Isn't this... the brooch?"

Seeing the clear "snowflake" in front of him, Jiang Shouyue asked.

"It's it, Shouyue, put it on and see if it looks good."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Shouyue was a little confused, but Draper got up before he finished speaking, and then came to Jiang Shouyue, picked up the brooch without waiting for him to speak again, and pinned it to Jiang Shouyue's chest.

The clear snowflakes had a different brilliance under the light. Even though Jiang Shouyue was not wearing a formal suit right now, it still suited him very well.

"Sure enough, it's just as I thought. It's very beautiful."

While talking, Draper gently stroked Jiang Shouyue's face, caressing ambiguously, his eyes became deeper and deeper under the light, Jiang Shouyue couldn't see through the other party, and didn't know how to speak, the aura of the person in front of him was too powerful, this It was Jiang Shouyue who understood it the first time he saw him.

"Shouyue, this brooch is for you."

Draper said softly,

"Take it as the first gift I give you after marriage."
