A cold wind blew in, and the two people hiding in the corner became much more awake.

The flames in Yi Chenli's eyes subsided considerably.

Suddenly, I heard light footsteps and voices.

"Please take care, Lord An. I enjoyed the drinks today. I hope we can have another drink together next time."

An Yuan'er looked into the distance and saw that it was her brother who had returned. He seemed to have drunk quite a bit, and his voice was somewhat slurred.

Yi Chenli naturally knew about the commotion outside.

"Roundball, I really have to go." If An Hui finds out, many things will happen, and her family doesn't want to see them together.

An Yuan'er held onto him, not letting him leave. She said with some reluctance, "What if you ignore me after we go back? I don't know how long it will be before we meet again?"

An Yuan'er hates waiting the most, but after leaving Chenyang Palace, it was inconvenient for her to enter the palace again, and Yi Chenli did not come out to see her. It had been almost three or four months since they last met.

No wonder An Yuan'er was so reluctant to part, after all, today's sweetness was something she had only gotten after being apart for so long.

Yi Chenli patted An Yuan'er's head reassuringly: "I won't ignore you."

An Yuan'er turned her head away in disbelief.

An Yuan'er kept pulling him along, and Yi Chenli couldn't move at all. It looked like An Hui was about to come over.

Yi Chenli had no choice but to surrender to An Yuan'er: "Then tell me, what will it take for you to believe me?"

An Yuan'er's eyes darted around, and the corners of her lips suddenly turned up. She whispered in Yi Chenli's ear, "Ali, I know your concerns. From now on, we can do it secretly..."

Before they could even exchange any ambiguous and romantic words, Yi Chenli nipped them in the bud.

Yi Chenli tugged at An Yuan'er's ear: "I've already told you, forget all those indecent things that the storybooks taught you."

An Yuan'er refused, clinging to Yi Chenli and saying fiercely, "If you don't agree, I won't let go. I'll let you see what you're doing to me!"

The girl in his arms had slightly disheveled hair, watery eyes, and red, swollen lips. One glance was enough to tell what had just happened.

An Yuan'er started to do whatever she wanted because Yi Chenli doted on her.

Yi Chenli's personality meant he would never let his brother see such a scene.

He could only continue to comply with An Yuan'er's wishes: "Okay! I promise you."

An Yuan'er pressed on, unwilling to give up, "Explain more clearly, what did you promise me?"

In the darkness, the handsome man leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear, his voice slightly uneasy: "I won't ignore Yuan Yuan, and I won't secretly..."

After saying that, even Yi Chenli felt a little ashamed, and his face turned an unnatural red.

He recalled what An Yuan'er had said before: "Doesn't what they're doing look like they're having an affair?" Yi Chenli felt inexplicably struck by her words, and his ears began to burn.

An Yuan'er, having succeeded in her little scheme, secretly kissed Yi Chenli's reddened earlobe before letting him go.

Yi Chenli's ears were extremely sensitive. The heat spread from the base of his ear to his entire ear, making him feel tingly and numb. His red ears were surprisingly cute.

Yi Chenli's suppressed desire was about to surge back, but the little girl who had flirted with him and then run away was completely unaware and secretly laughing.

Yi Chenli's eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction and protest, but before An Hui could get close, he quietly slipped back into his wheelchair through another secluded alley and left.

An Huaishou bid farewell to the minister who had escorted him back, and pushed open the door to return home.
