Fu Rongchen was stunned for a moment, stared at her for a while, and then suddenly realized what she meant. He quickly turned around and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know."

“Now you know,” Shangguan Yanran quickly replied, “You can leave now.”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Fu Rongchen's handsome face as he lifted his foot and walked out.

"Smack!"

Just then, a sound came from behind the screen, accompanied by a girl's cry of "Ouch!"

Fu Rongchen was startled and reflexively rushed inside.

"How could you..."

His throat tightened, and he hurriedly looked away, helping the girl who had slipped to her feet.

"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

Shangguan Yanran cried, "Why am I so unlucky? I hurt my elbow..."

Fu Rongchen frowned. "Which hand? Let me see..."

"My right hand," Shangguan Yanran said listlessly.

Fu Rongchen felt around and lifted her right arm to examine her.

Seeing that her fair skin was indeed scraped, he frowned and asked, "How are you now? Can you continue bathing? Or do you need to apply medicine first?"

Upon hearing the word "bathing," Shangguan Yanran suddenly remembered her predicament, and her face flushed instantly. Fortunately, Fu Rongchen was a gentleman and didn't look at her, but even so, she still felt extremely embarrassed and whispered, "You...you go out first..."

Fu Rongchen pursed his dry lips, his voice growing even lower, "But are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm sure," Shangguan Yanran quickly assured her.

The two are not yet married, and given the current situation, it is indeed not appropriate for them to stay together. Fu Rongchen did not dare to stay any longer, but before leaving, he still reminded him, "If you need anything, remember to call me. I'll be outside."

"I understand," Shangguan Yanran replied, blushing.

Fu Rongchen stepped out of the house and stood on the veranda, still feeling hot.

He raised his hand and loosened his collar.

The beautiful view I had just seen behind the screen flashed through my mind at an inopportune moment. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, I had still seen what I was meant to see...

He suddenly felt his mouth was dry and his smooth forehead was soaked with sweat.

His fingers, hanging at his sides, quietly curled up.

The maid stood not far away and secretly glanced at him.

She heard the commotion inside the house and was surprised that Lord Fu was such a gentleman as to come out right away.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Sir, is Miss Shangguan injured? Should I go and fetch a doctor?"

The maid's voice pulled Fu Rongchen back to reality.

He suppressed his romantic thoughts and ordered in a cool voice, "No need to call a doctor, just go and find some medicine for your injuries."

"Yes." The maid left.

Not long after, Shangguan Yanran finished bathing, opened the door, and immediately saw the man standing under the eaves.

He stood with his back to the door, his posture upright and graceful, exuding an air of refined elegance.

She was somewhat mesmerized by what she saw.

Hearing the door open, he immediately turned around.

"Are you done washing?"

"Hmm." Shangguan Yanran nodded. "By the way, it's so late, is there something you want to tell me?"

Fu Rongchen paused slightly as he walked towards her, his gaze falling on her undergarment. He asked calmly, "Can't I come to see you just because I miss you? Do I have to have something else to say?"

Shangguan Yanran blinked, thinking she had misheard.

When did Fu Rongchen become so frivolous?

When she met his tender gaze, her legs suddenly went weak. Fortunately, she managed to grab the door frame in time to avoid losing her composure.

Ahhh!

She couldn't help but scream several times in her mind, overwhelmed with excitement.

Was Fu Rongchen flirting with her just now?
