Chapter 148

Although Shen Rang disliked the rabbit no matter how he looked at it, he didn't say anything. He simply said, "Since the house has been chosen in advance, I'll take a day off tomorrow. Let's go for a stroll in the streets."

"Go...go to the street?"

Shen Rang nodded slightly: "The clothes your mother gave you are nice, but there aren't enough. You might not have enough to wear. Also, buy rouge, jewelry, or anything else you like."

"But......"

Seeing that Yunxi hesitated, Shen Rang said, "Just speak your mind in front of me."

Yunxi bit her lip: "But my current status... is probably not suitable for me to go out with the young master."

She wasn't even a concubine.

If outsiders were to see Shen Rang shopping with an unknown woman, and even behaving very intimately, it would probably be... inappropriate.

“Don’t be afraid,” Shen Rang said. “You will definitely stand by my side sooner or later. Besides, I don’t care about reputation.”

Seeing that Yunxi wanted to say something more, Shen Rang took her hand and shook his head at her: "There's no need to say anything more, let's eat."

Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Yun Xi couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She didn't want to refuse either.

I'm really hungry after a busy afternoon.

So Yunxi nodded and, just like at noon, followed Shen Rang to the dining room to sit down.

After dinner, the two had just stepped out of the dining room when they saw Jixiang waiting outside.

Jixiang stood up and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Miss, you haven't used any plasters these past few days. Let me put one on for you today."

This is a serious matter.

Yunxi nodded slightly: "Go in."

Yunxi sat on the bed, carefully lifting her skirt so that Jixiang could apply the medicine to her.

Shen Rang sat to the side, his gaze also falling on her legs.

Yunxi's legs were long, straight, fair, and well-proportioned, but there were two dark bruises around her knees, making her look pitiful.

His gaze was so intense that Yunxi felt a little embarrassed.

Although the two had done the most intimate things several times, it was in complete darkness with the lights off. Right now... Yunxi was completely unaccustomed to it.

Even though she lowered her head slightly, Shen Rang could still see her slightly flushed cheeks.

For some reason, Shen Rang suddenly felt like teasing him.

As Jixiang turned to leave, Chen Rang got up and went over to Yunxi, pressing down on her hand as she hurriedly adjusted her skirt.

"We're a real couple, why are you being shy?" Even a fool could hear the teasing in his words.

Yunxi bit her lip, and her face, which was already slightly flushed, turned so red that it looked like it could drip blood because of his words.

Knowing that this person's inherently wicked nature had resurfaced, Yunxi nudged his shoulder and said, "Your Highness, please stop joking with me."

Seeing her like this, Shen Rang was afraid that if he continued to tease her, Yun Xi would get angry, so he chuckled and straightened up.

“I’m going to take a bath,” Shen Rang stepped back two paces. “You can think about where to go tomorrow.”

After saying that, Shen Rang turned and left.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Shen Rang had gone to Yun Xi's courtyard as soon as he returned, Yun Wan nearly tore her handkerchief to shreds.
