Nan Muchen sternly beckoned Chu Qingxuan into the room. Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan smiled triumphantly and then walked into the study.

After entering the house, Nan Muchen released Chu Qingxuan. Chu Qingxuan turned around and closed the door, then looked up and pouted, asking, "Master, can I stay here with you tonight?"

Nan Muchen frowned slightly and refused Chu Qingxuan, "No."

Chu Qingxuan pouted and whispered sweetly, "Master~"

Nan Muchen's tone softened, and he gently stroked Chu Qingxuan's head, saying kindly, "Chu Chu, it's not proper for men and women to touch each other."

Chu Qingxuan: "..."

Chu Qingxuan lowered her head, looking sad.

"Why did you come here?" Nan Muchen asked softly.

Chu Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "I suddenly missed you."

Nan Muchen: "..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Nan Muchenfeng's eyes. He felt that there was something hidden in Chu Qingxuan's words, but when he tried to investigate, he couldn't find anything.

He gazed at Chu Qingxuan's face, where she had big, watery eyes and an innocent expression.

Perhaps he's overthinking it.

"Chuchu, let's go back."

Chu Qingxuan sighed softly and said dejectedly, "Fine."

It seems that Nan Muchen really has no feelings for her.

"Master, you should go to sleep early too."

Chu Qingxuan turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and suddenly ran to Nan Muchen, kissing him on the cheek.

Chu Qingxuan smiled brightly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and looked at Nan Muchen, saying, "Master, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side!"

After saying that, Chu Qingxuan ran away.

She came over simply to comfort Nan Muchen and, incidentally, to cultivate their relationship.

Nan Muchen told her to leave, but she couldn't scare him away, so she could only give him a kiss!

Chu Qingxuan's kiss revealed her feelings, but Nan Muchen did not encounter such a situation. After Chu Qingxuan left, he reached out and touched the spot where Chu Qingxuan had just kissed him.

Something inside me was touched.

Thinking of Chu Qingxuan's clear eyes, Nan Muchen fell into deep thought.

Nan Muchen discovered that when he carefully observed Chu Qingxuan's eyes, he could always see something different in them.

After closing the study door, Nan Muchen picked up a book, but he had long lost interest in reading.

Nan Muchen had to admit that Chu Qingxuan had influenced him.

Chu Qingxuan returned to the Begonia Palace humming a song. Lan Yi lay on the bed, raising his chin and looking at Chu Qingxuan arrogantly, "You finally decided to come back?"

Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I'm reluctant to come back."

She wouldn't have come back tonight if Nan Muchen hadn't driven her away.

Lan Yi clicked his tongue a few times, "Going out to find your master in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of what people will say?"

Chu Qingxuan tilted her head. "What gossip?"

Lan Yi rolled her eyes. "Go and experience it for yourself."

Just as Lan Yi had predicted, rumors about Chu Qingxuan and Nan Muchen soon began to circulate.

It's said that the two of them are lovers.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan pouted and said, "I would like to have that kind of relationship, but he has to give me a chance first."

Lan Yi was eating when he heard Chu Qingxuan speak like that. The food in his mouth fell to the ground with a thud, and he stared at Chu Qingxuan in shock.

What!

Do you really want to become Nan Muchen's lover?

You must be kidding!

Chu Qingxuan looked at Lan Yi, and seeing his shocked expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Can't we really be together?"
