Yue Yufeng rolled up his sleeves, revealing a series of red dots that made Gu Yanan feel itchy all over.

"You poor little thing."

Gu Yanan never expected that before she could even meet Yue Yufeng's gaze, he had already swiftly leaned down and precisely captured her red lips.

"Don't move." Yue Yufeng's breathing was heavy, his hot breath brushing against Gu Yanan's ear...

"If I move again, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Seeing that Gu Yanan had instantly become docile, Yue Yufeng gave her a light peck and then wrapped her up in a strong embrace.

Yan An smiled and took Yue Xiyuan's hand, shaking it playfully, "Yue Xiyuan, why did you ask the Emperor to play chess so late at night?"

"I can't sleep." He didn't want to tell her that his insomnia was because he missed her too much, and also because Yue Yufeng's wife had taken An'an for herself.

"If you can't sleep, I'll make you some calming and sleep-inducing pills. You'll feel better after taking them."

"No." Yue Xiyuan raised his eyebrows, solemnly refusing Yan An.

Yan An tilted her head, blinked, and chuckled. She secretly hooked his finger, trying to tease him, "Jealous?"

"What is vinegar? I don't know."

"Is he genuinely unaware, or is our Regent simply a dead duck?"

Yan An smiled faintly, revealing two dimples at the corners of her lips, making her look sly and playful.

Why a dead duck?

All you've got left is stubbornness!

The sunlight was filtered through layers of leaves, and what fell to the ground became a faint, round, gently swaying halo of light. A man and a woman chased each other in the light and shadow.
