"If you're scared, you don't have to come with us."
This time, Bei Ming Haotian spoke first, before Nangong Ziyan could.
This was the first time Bei Ming Haotian had spoken to Baili Yuechan on his own initiative, and Baili Yuechan was extremely excited.
She said softly, "Young Master, with you here, how could Yue Chan be afraid?"
Overjoyed, Baili Yuechan directed the servants to prepare dinner. Thinking that his maid was too careless to cook anything delicious, she wanted to make a good impression tonight and gain his approval.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Nangong Ziyan's eyes. This woman's voice was so sweet and delicate in front of men, just like the descriptions in novels, so soft it could melt water.
"Haotian, you've fallen for Hongluan. Look at her, how ladylike she is in front of you! Listen to her voice, it's so soft and sweet. You're a man, don't you feel moved?" Nangong Ziyan whispered.
"Is that so! Hongluan is tempted. She is indeed beautiful and gentle. So tell me, should I make do with her and go along with her wishes? Then I will really have another concubine, saving me the trouble of looking for one."
Bei Ming Haotian gave a wicked smile, teasing her until her pretty face flushed with a blush, a hint of shyness in her expression—the most beautiful look he had ever seen.
"Go ahead and marry if you want! But if you marry too many, you might die from exhaustion," Nangong Ziyan said in a low voice, her eyes glancing at Baili Yuechan.
That sweet, delicate voice, those affected movements, that reserved demeanor—alas! She couldn't do it! But men all seem to prefer women like Baili Yuechan. I wonder if that man named Tian'er also likes women like Baili Yuechan?
"You die from exhaustion? Who taught you that?" Bei Ming Haotian suddenly asked, seemingly jealous.
"Does he need someone to teach him? Isn't it written in the book?" Nangong Ziyan pursed her lips. "I wonder if he also likes women like Baili Yuechan?" Nangong Ziyan asked to herself.
"From now on, you're not allowed to read those messy books. If you want to know anything, just ask me. Also, that man you mentioned, he doesn't like women like Baili Yuechan, so you don't need to worry about him." Bei Ming Haotian was overjoyed; she had always been thinking of him.
"Really? How did you know what kind of woman he likes? And, tell me, are you very experienced?" Nangong Ziyan asked a series of questions, making Beiming Haotian a little embarrassed.
"This young master..."
"Um, young master, what would you like to eat? Yuechan had the servants make a few simple dishes, and I hope you'll do me the honor of joining us later." Baili Yuechan suddenly interrupted Beiming Haotian. In her view, the two of them were not servants at all; their relationship was far too intimate.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but I brought my own servants. I only like the food she makes." Bei Ming Haotian refused without giving any face.
Nangong Ziyan glared at Beiming Haotian. Wasn't he going to take her as a concubine? She's practically offered herself up, so why is he still being coy?
"Miss Baili, we..."
"Hurry up and prepare dinner. Don't forget the Wind and Cloud Competition." Bei Ming Haotian's words were threatening. As soon as Nangong Ziyan opened her mouth, Bei Ming Haotian knew what she wanted to say.
