Shen Zhi nodded politely, which was considered a greeting.

"Madam, have some porridge; it will help relieve the discomfort of a hangover." Xiao Zhongxuan pointed to the porridge in front of her, which he had clearly cooked specially.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao."

Shen Zhiyi was holding a spoon and drinking her porridge when she heard him say, "Does Madam remember what happened last night?"

"What?"

Hongrui coughed twice, "Um... Miss, I'll go to the small kitchen to see what else we have to eat."

It would be too embarrassing to bring up what happened last night!

Girl,

You caused this mess last night, so I won't serve you here anymore. Good luck to you.

I'm confident you can handle it well.

"Um?"

Shen Zhiyi was surprised, and frowned slightly as she watched her maid leave in a hurry.

Why are you running?

It was as if a ghost was chasing her.

“It seems that Madam has forgotten.” Xiao Zhongxuan stirred the congee in front of him.

"What did I do last night?" Shen Zhiyi only remembered drinking a lot of wine and feeling dizzy. She thought of going to the courtyard to get some fresh air and get rid of the smell of alcohol. After that, she couldn't remember anything clearly.

Shen Zhiyi was drinking porridge when she caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly getting up and walking towards her. By the time she looked up, he was already standing in front of her...

Bending over, leaning forward,

Bending over -

He practically moved right up to her.

Xiao Zhongxuan was indeed born with a handsome appearance, his skin was fairer than that of ordinary people, and his facial features were exquisite. Up close, the sweetness mixed with the fragrance of medicine created a strange smell, but it was not unpleasant.

They were just too close, so close that Shen Zhiyi could feel his even, warm breath...

It fell on her face.

lightly,

It's hot.

It threw her into a complete mess.

Having lived two lives and been married, Shen Zhiyi had not yet been deeply involved in matters of love and romance. She was somewhat lost in thought, but quickly regained her composure.

He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Xiao, what are you doing? This is extremely impolite!"

"I was rude?" Xiao Zhongxuan seemed to have heard something amusing. "Then what Madam did to me last night was more than just being rude."

What can I do for you?

"Have you truly forgotten, or are you feigning amnesia to avoid responsibility?" Xiao Zhongxuan chuckled. "You come from a military family; do you really not want to admit what you've done?"

"What can I do for you?" Shen Zhiyi's lips curled up slightly. Could it be that she had drunk too much and was talking nonsense? "Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for anything I have done."

"real?"

“Of course it’s true…” Shen Zhiyi hadn’t finished speaking when Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly reached out and cupped her face. His palms were warm, but his fingertips were burning hot.

In an instant,

She stood there, stunned.

My mind was racing, and my breathing became rapid.

Having lived two lifetimes, although she and Song Yuxiu had shared a bed, their relationship was always respectful and never crossed any lines. This was the first time she had ever been held up like this.

"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, "This is outrageous! Let me go!"

Shen Zhi wanted to knock his hand away, but his next words startled her so much that she froze.

"Madam, what I'm doing now... is exactly what you did to me last night."

How could I possibly treat you like that?

"That's not all."

“No, not only?” Shen Zhiyi’s tongue was tied in knots.

She admitted that Xiao Zhongxuan was indeed handsome, but she had only had a few drinks and couldn't possibly have any ill intentions towards him.

"You said last night that I'm good-looking."

Xiao Zhongxuan's impression of Shen Zhiyi was always that of a restrained, calm, and strategic person. Last night's drunkenness shattered all his preconceived notions about her.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment and anger.

My face is getting hotter and hotter...

Xiao Zhongxuan was holding her face in his hands, and he could really feel the heat on her face.

How can someone who's already married be so easily teased?

Just like...

An unmarried girl.

“Then I’m praising you.” Shen Zhiyi’s fingers unconsciously tightened.

“It’s not just that…” Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly leaned closer.

His breath drew near, and the sweet scent from his lips instantly spread, enveloping her silently, as if binding her to his very bones.

"Young Master Xiao, you can just say what you want to say, there's no need to stand so close!"

"Some things can only be said when you're close to someone."

"What did you say?"

“Madam, you told me last night…” His breath grew closer, almost touching her ear.

Too close,

They were so close it felt as if his breath was kissing her ear.

The seductive voice rang out again: "You said you wanted me to be your mistress, and that you would support me."

In short,

Shen Zhiyi froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, her breathing heavy and sluggish. For a moment, she didn't know where she was, feeling as if she were dreaming.

At this moment, Xiao Zhongxuan had released his hands from her face, but he did not leave. As a result, the two were still so close that their breaths mingled and an intimate feeling arose between them.

“No, that’s impossible…” Shen Zhiyi avoided his gaze. “I wouldn’t say such a thing.”

"Your maids all heard it. Shall we call them here to testify?"

Shen Zhiyi then realized:

No wonder Hongrui ran away in such a panic.

Last night I drank alcohol and actually flirted with him?

"Young Master Xiao, I drank too much last night, so please don't take my drunken words seriously." Shen Zhiyi was unusually flustered.

Xiao Zhongxuan had been teased last night and was eager to get back at her. It was the first time he'd seen her so flustered, so he decided to tease her and deliberately said, "If..."
