When she returned, Fu Hanlai was not in Qiutang Courtyard. She didn't know where he had gone. Jiang Xuelin asked Green Ivy to bring over a storybook, and she sat by the window, slowly turning the pages.

This story is really boring; it's just about rich young ladies who go to burn incense, encounter poor scholars, are saved by them, and eventually end up sleeping together.

That's really boring.

Next time, let someone write something interesting, or maybe we can look up some travelogues.

Travelogues are actually quite interesting.

As she flipped through the pages out of boredom, Jiang Xuelin pondered to herself.

When Fu Han returned, he saw Jiang Xuelin asleep on the desk by the window, with a red cloak draped over her shoulders.

The red cloak, trimmed with white fox fur, made his face appear even whiter, as if it were coated with a layer of light.

The sun was already beginning to set in the west. Winter days are relatively short, so the servants in the house moved around very quietly, as if afraid of waking their master.

Upon seeing this, Fu Hanlai simply dismissed them all and picked up the storybook, flipping through it while uttering disdainful sneers.

I never expected Jiang Xuelin to like watching this kind of thing.

After a while, Fu Hanlai's gaze couldn't help but fall on Jiang Xuelin's face.

Asleep, Jiang Xuelin looked rather docile, completely different from her wild and unruly demeanor when awake. Fu Hanlai couldn't help but stare blankly into space.

When she realized she had been staring at Jiang Xuelin for a long time, she immediately looked away.

After a while, Fu Hanlai's buttocks seemed to have nails stuck to them, and he couldn't help but move around. His mother port also drifted around, sometimes landing on Jiang Xuelin's face thoughtfully, and sometimes suddenly snapping back to reality and moving away.

Nobody knows what he's thinking.

Jiang Xuelin was far too unreserved in public today.

—That's really going too far! Who dares to flirt with men in public?!

Even if that man is her husband, it's still not okay!

I feel really embarrassed.

It's just that Jiang Xuelin is completely oblivious to this, daring to flirt with him in front of so many people.

Tsk!

Furthermore, Jiang Xuelin actually did that inside the carriage!

That's really too much.

He still remembers that feeling!

It's all Jiang Xuelin's fault.

but……

...Jiang Xuelin had sexually assaulted him in the carriage earlier. According to principles, shouldn't he retaliate?

Fu Hanlai: "..."

No, no!

He's not that kind of person.

But... if he doesn't return it, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?

Then return it?

Fu Hanlai: "..."

I simply can't stand reading this script anymore.

That scholar was so frivolous, actually saying that the young lady's face was as smooth and warm as jade.

As smooth and warm as jade...

Fu Hanlai's gaze fell on Jiang Xuelin's face again.

"..."
