The incoherent sounds continued until dawn. Even as Su Wenyuan's consciousness faded, she still wanted to curse him as a beast.

But I was also afraid that those two words would upset him and make him excited again.

The messy bed and the limp body of the person beside her excited Sheng Jingyu, but Su Wenyuan looked like she was about to get angry, so she should stop now.

Su Wenyuan didn't have the energy to figure out what he was thinking. If she did, she would definitely jump up and question him, asking if he knew what it meant to know when to stop.

It's already dawn, is this what you call knowing when to stop?

Sheng Jingyu showed no intention of getting up. His fingers landed on Su Wenyuan's shoulder, circling it gently, as if he was still not quite done.

Su Wenyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you not sick?"

Sheng Jingyu paused, "Who said I'm sick?"

"That day, Hua Ling prepared a bunch of medicine for you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Jingyu propped himself up on his arms and rolled over to press down on him again.

Su Wenyuan begged for mercy repeatedly, but still couldn't escape.

Sheng Jingyu remained silent, but his movements became increasingly fierce, which served as his answer to Su Wenyuan's inappropriate question.

I promised to go see Su Yuan last night, but now I definitely can't go.

Ye Shan had already dismissed the maids serving in the courtyard, leaving only some guards watching from a distance, letting the two of them fool around.

After a long time, Sheng Jingyu lay on Su Wenyuan's neck, breathing heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is the first time I've liked someone this much. Does what we said back then mean it doesn't count anymore?"

When the two collaborated, he helped Su Wenyuan investigate the truth, and Su Wenyuan served as the Princess Consort of Chen.

Once things are over, we'll go our separate ways. Sheng Jingyu has never dared to mention or even think about this.

Taking advantage of her unconsciousness today, Sheng Jingyu wanted to cancel the plan.

Although it has a hint of taking advantage of someone's vulnerability and threatening them, it's worth doing as long as I can get the answer they want.

Fearing that Su Wenyuan would worry about the future, Sheng Jingyu assured her, "If I fail and die in the future, I will not be a burden to you. I will explain to Ye Shan and the others and have them send you away."

"If I succeed, can you stay? At that time, not only will everything in the Prince Chen's mansion be yours, but the entire Anchuan Kingdom can be yours."

After Sheng Jingyu finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Su Wenyuan for a long time. Feeling nervous and flustered, he cautiously looked up.

Only then did they realize that Su Wenyuan had fainted at some point...

Before she lost consciousness, she heard Sheng Jingyu speaking, but she didn't know what he was saying.

Sheng Jingyu was extremely annoyed! He should have been more restrained; this kind of problem had to occur at such a crucial moment.

The things Su Wenyuan had originally arranged were not absolutely necessary; she could sleep, but Sheng Jingyu had some things that couldn't be delayed.

Despite not having slept all night, Sheng Jingyu's face showed no signs of fatigue, only the contentment of a full meal.

When Su Wenyuan opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon.

If she weren't so thirsty and hungry, she could have continued sleeping. Now that she's awake, she doesn't really want to move.

But we can't just lie here until dark, because that beast will come back when it gets dark.

Su Wenyuan got up and called Yuexiu. After taking a bath, changing clothes, and having a meal, she finally recovered some of her energy.

She slept until the afternoon, much to the dismay of Su Lin'er, who was waiting for her at the Su residence.

Su Lin'er deliberately left Su Yuan at the mansion, hoping that Su Wenyuan would come to cause trouble and provoke Su Yuan.

According to her plan, Su Wenyuan should have come.

She waited from morning until afternoon, but still didn't see Su Wenyuan.

The servants sent to keep watch at the entrance of Prince Chen's residence also said that Su Wenyuan did not come out at all, let alone go to the Su residence.

Su Lin'er waited anxiously for an entire day.

Upon learning that Su Wenyuan had gotten up, Sheng Jingyu put down what he was doing and rushed back to Zhuyue Pavilion, wanting to ask her again about the things he hadn't finished asking that morning.

Su Wenyuan spotted Sheng Jingyu through the window and quickly ordered, "Close the door! Close the door!"

Her voice was hoarse, her tone urgent, and her panic was written all over her face.

The maid was obedient; just as she closed the door, Meng Qi pushed it open.

Meng Qi, still confused, muttered, "The prince is here, why is the door closed?"

Sheng Jingyu suppressed a laugh and waved for the maids to leave.

Su Wenyuan glared at Meng Qi and said, "Meng, starting today, you're not getting any afternoon snacks. If you're hungry, just drink the air to clear your head."

"Huh?" Meng Qi asked, looking rather naive.

Sheng Jingyu said, "You should go out too."

With no one else in the room, Su Wenyuan had nowhere to look, glancing left and right, but daring not to fix her gaze on Sheng Jingyu.

Sheng Jingyu coughed lightly and asked, "Aren't you going to come over and help me up?"

"You're saying that without thinking. There's no one else in the room. Can't you leave?" Su Wenyuan's attitude was harsh, but she spoke too fast, her voice cracked, and she coughed.

Sheng Jingyu quickly stepped forward, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Do you need to ask Hua Ling to get some medicine?"

Su Wenyuan blushed, "No need."

How could I dare to look for Hua Ling again? What if I made a fool of myself again?

Sheng Jingyu thought so too; even finding a doctor outside would be better than finding Hua Ling.

This person is so unreliable, extremely unreliable.

“I said a few words this morning, but you didn’t seem to hear me,” Sheng Jingyu brought it up again.

Su Wenyuan's blush deepened, almost reaching her neck.

"If you didn't hear me, then don't say anything. I don't really want to hear it. If you have nothing else to do, go do whatever you need to do. I don't really want to see you."

Sheng Jingyu's eyes darkened, and she complained with some grievance, "You turn your back on me like that."

Su Wenyuan gave a polite but distant smile and said, "This is what you deserve. You are not wronged at all. If you feel aggrieved, then take a look at what time it is now!"

"How can you be like this? I only have one life, and you still have the nerve to say I didn't hear it? Does that mean I didn't want to hear it?" Su Wenyuan gradually became irritable, her voice rising and falling.

When I can't control myself, I make a lot of noise, but when I think about the possibility of people outside, I lower my voice again.

“You pretended to be deaf and dumb with me last night! Now it’s my turn. I don’t want to hear you talk. Goodbye!” Su Wenyuan slammed her hand on the table.

Seeing that she looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, Sheng Jingyu dragged his chair closer, almost pressing himself against Su Wenyuan.

Su Wenyuan stepped back, avoiding eye contact, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

Sheng Jingyu laughed and said, "We've lived together for so long, you're so beautiful, and I like you so much, so it's why I lost control a little bit."

"Just a little bit?" Su Wenyuan raised her voice, excitedly standing up. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell. Sheng Jingyu caught her in time, startled.

After calming down a bit, Sheng Jingyu said seriously, "I promise I won't do it again next time, no matter if you tell me to stop or say no..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Wenyuan covered his mouth.

Judging from Sheng Jingyu's intentions, she wanted to repeat all the lines she had said last night, as if that wasn't embarrassing enough.
