"How is it?" Huo Jin stared intently at Chu Yuan's reaction.

Chu Yuan felt a surge of anger at being used as a guinea pig by that despicable man.

But he had restrained all four of her limbs, and she couldn't move.

The cool, refreshing sensation seemed to spread from one spot throughout the entire body...

It is fundamentally different from Huo Jin's popularity.

It wasn't that plentiful.

But he was deliberately torturing her.

The master of control was perfect, not a fraction too much or too little, ensuring she could never reach that perfect point.

Only after having fun did I appreciate Chu Yuan's enchanting beauty... and feel a sense of longing...

Huo Jin wiped the sheets with her fingertips and smiled happily, "Should I call someone in to change them?"

Chu Yuan was a clean person. When she was in the governor's mansion, she would change the sheets and blankets every time she finished.

You need to feel refreshed to fall asleep easily.

But now that I'm living with my parents, how could I dare!

Her resentful and blaming eyes seemed to want to kill Huo Jin, yet they also exuded a captivating charm that melted one's bones.

Huo Jin's eyes darkened, and he was in so much pain from holding back his emotions.

She nuzzled her hand affectionately, "Yuan'er, I feel unwell..."

Chu Yuan deliberately avoided him and ignored him.

The man shamelessly pressed himself against her, burying his face in her softness, his breath hot as if he were burning.

Chu Yuan thought of his patience and restraint just now, and helplessly kissed his slightly dry red lips.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, their bodies trembling with excitement.

Now it was Huo Jin's turn to be controlled. Her face showed a look of infatuation, but her body was incredibly unrestrained.

Chu Yuan's delicate kisses landed on the back of his ear and his chest...

A hand slipped into his dark hair...

Until a warm, wet kiss landed...

Huo Jin suddenly opened her lips, braced her hands on the bed frame, and breathed heavily.

Like a fish that has come ashore and is thirsty.

But Chu Yuan knew that he wasn't thirsty; he was just too...

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the autumn imperial examination.

Chu Yuan hasn't eaten anything bad lately, her pregnancy symptoms are mild, and her belly isn't showing yet. So, she, along with her parents, accompanied the two candidates to the examination hall to take the exam.

Of course, the main purpose was to send it to Chu Xu.

Upon arriving at the examination hall, Chu Yuan cautiously looked around, feeling that Huo Jin was definitely nearby.

Thinking about it again, I felt stupid. Was it even necessary to look at this?

His men are everywhere, from peddlers to laborers; who knows which one might be spying on her?

Hmph, jealous man!

She didn't dare to talk to Sheng Kuan much, nor was there any need to. She simply pulled Chu Xu aside and instructed her, "Did you understand the questions your older sister gave you a couple of days ago? You need to be able to do them if they come up on the test."

Chu Xu's eyes darted around as he watched waves of examinees being brought over by their families, all with expectant expressions on their faces.

He was also looking forward to it, and nodded to Chu Yuan, "Don't worry, sister. I not only studied it myself, but I also asked Brother Sheng to help me think about it. There are no problems. I remember the answer clearly in my mind."

This child really doesn't keep things from Sheng Kuan.

That was the "Top Scholar" item that Chu Yuan bought from the system for several thousand points.

It was described as a prop, but it was actually a secret scroll.

Given Sheng Kuan's level of care for the Chu family, Chu Yuan had no objection to him benefiting as well. Her only concern was that if the two of them came up with the same answer, it would clash with the answer and lead to a conviction for cheating, which would be counterproductive!

Therefore, Chu Yuan solemnly reminded him, "Answers are just that, but try to answer in your own words when the time comes. Don't just copy everything, understand?"

"Okay, okay, Brother Sheng has already gone to line up, I'm off too, Sister."

Chu Yuan shook her head. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this child treats Sheng Kuan like his own brother.

Suddenly, a man wearing a straw hat spoke up with a mocking voice beside her ear, "What, you can't bear to see your lover go in for three days, worried he'll suffer?"

Chu Yuan looked at the person who spoke, "Please take off your straw hat."

The latter ignored her and, not only that, grabbed Chu Yuan's wrist and disappeared into the crowd with lightning speed, as if passing through an empty field.

By the time Chu's parents realized what was happening, the person had already disappeared.

They looked around anxiously, fearing something had happened to their daughter. At that moment, the old woman in the house stepped forward and said, "Master and Madam, the eldest young lady said that the weather is nice today and she wants to go to the market. She asked me to stay and escort her, and Granny Ma went with her."

Chu's father and mother were both honest and didn't think much of it.

Seeing that Sheng Kuan and Chu Xu had also passed the inspection and entered the examination hall, they did not stay long before boarding the carriage to go home.

At that moment, Chu Yuan was being pinned against the wall of the alley by the man in the straw hat, who was groping her.

Chu Yuan's legs were trapped between his legs, her hands were held down, and only her mouth could move, so she bit his shoulder. "Huo Jin, aren't you childish?"

She was dressed so haphazardly that she almost didn't recognize her.

However, that irresistible energy hasn't changed at all.

Huo Jin didn't utter a sound even though she was bitten, and continued to pin Chu Yuan against the wall, "I just want you to only have eyes for me."

Chu Yuan found it amusing, "Which eye of yours saw that I had someone else in my eyes?"

"Of course I saw it. You glanced at him four times, intentionally or unintentionally, from beginning to end!"

Chu Yuan, "..."

She swore she really had no feelings for Sheng Kuan.

Sheng Kuan was handsome and refined, gentle and kind-hearted, but unfortunately, he was not Chu Yuan's type.

Thinking about it, her gaze fell on Huo Jin's enchanting features, and she sighed inwardly. With such a stunning beauty in front of her, Sheng Kuan was compared to the roadside grass.

"My dear little darling, I truly only love you," Chu Yuan soothed and coaxed, whispering in Huo Jin's ear.
