Mu Wanting knew that Shen Xinglan didn't care much about matters between men and women. Besides, she was just a subordinate, and she couldn't let the relationships get too messy. Otherwise, everyone would be thinking about seducing others to climb the social ladder, and the atmosphere would be bad.
"Now that you know, just keep to yourself."
After a pause, Mu Wanting felt that there were some things she should tell them. If they weren't truly committed, then there was no need to.
“He and I were originally exiles. We were separated from the exile group due to the flood. Now we have to go back to the exile group. The days ahead may not be easy.”
"You are now out of danger. Even if you settle here, it will be difficult for Master Liu's men to find you."
As soon as she said this, Fang Chunliu, Zhang Daya, Zhang Erya, and Zhao Erni all said they wouldn't leave.
Liu Chunhua and Li Xing'er both cried in distress.
"I'm sorry, my benefactor, we...we still want to stay with you, and this kind of thing will never happen again."
Mu Wanting saw that each of them was sincere.
"In that case, let's go together."
These two people, apart from being infatuated with Shen Xinglan, did everything else quite well.
Moreover, he is Shen Xinglan, the dream lover of countless young women. It's not surprising that they fall in love with him.
After all, didn't I fall for it myself back then?
Then, Mu Wanting turned her gaze to Song Xie.
Song Xie stared intently at her with his dark eyes, his other hand tightly gripping Song Ying's hand, without saying a word.
Mu Wanting waited for him to make a decision.
"We'll join too." The boy's voice, which was going through puberty, was rough and unpleasant.
Mu Wanting said, "Have you thought this through? The journey is extremely dangerous."
A hint of mockery flashed in Song Xie's eyes.
"In this cannibalistic world, where is not dangerous?"
Mu Wanting remained silent and did not say anything more.
They quickly found an inn, and Mu Wanting, as usual, asked for four rooms. Shen Xinglan's eyes darkened.
"Three rooms, you and I will share one."
Mu Wanting tacitly agreed, thinking back on the commotion this morning, which indeed did not benefit team harmony.
When they saw the two enter a room, Liu Chunhua and Li Xing'er truly believed it.
Fang Chunliu said, "I told you before that Young Master Shen and Madam Mu are a couple, but you wouldn't believe me. If you cause them to have a falling out, don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Xing'er and Liu Chunhua cried out of self-reproach.
"We will never dare to do it again."
Song Xie's dark eyes swept across their faces.
"idiot."
Then he took his sister to the guest room.
Liu Chunhua and Li Xing'er were so angry that they cried again.
As soon as Mu Wanting entered the room, Shen Xinglan grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the closed door. He was extremely close to her, speaking almost into her ear.
"You're enjoying the show, aren't you? If I don't clarify things, are you just going to keep watching like this?"
Mu Wanting said, "Didn't you clarify that?"
For some reason, Shen Xinglan got angry when she saw Mu Wanting's indifferent expression.
If it were back in the capital, if a woman spoke to him, Mu Wanting would have jumped out to assert her dominance long ago.
Now, even though Li Xing'er has poured herself on him so many times, Mu Wanting hasn't reacted at all.
He felt a tightness in his chest, and seeing her now so calm and collected only fueled his anger. He moved closer to her, their breaths mingling.
"Mu Wanting, you are so understanding, generous and virtuous."
Mu Wanting smiled, her eyebrows raised in a captivating display of charm.
"Thank you for your praise, my husband."
Shen Xinglan's anger intensified, but he just couldn't take his eyes off her face.
His Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he angrily released her.
She was so nonchalant, so why was he angry?
She's the one who clearly cares about him.
She should be angry.
When they came back up, they found the door was already closed.
He pushed open the door and heard rustling sounds behind the screen.
He lifted his feet and walked over step by step.
Then, they saw Mu Wanting comfortably leaning against the wooden tub taking a bath. Her cheeks were flushed from the steam, her skin was fair, and her joints were pink, making her look incredibly delicious.
He immediately turned around, his heart pounding like a drum.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were taking a shower."
Mu Wanting was also embarrassed and annoyed. She thought that, given Shen Xinglan's current level of anger, she would probably not be back for a long time, which was why she called for water to take a bath.
But since I've already seen it...
Moreover, the two are husband and wife in name only.
"It's nothing."
When it was time for bed, after Mu Wanting had fallen asleep, Shen Xinglan pulled her into his arms.
Then I realized I was being a bit ridiculous.
She is his wife. If he wants to hold her, why does he have to wait until she falls asleep?
Thinking about it later, he probably didn't want her to become arrogant because she was favored.
He completely failed to consider how Mu Wanting was 800 meters away from him when she was awake, as if there was a river between them.
Smelling the fragrance emanating from Mu Wanting, and combined with the stimulation she had during the day, Shen Xinglan had a dream.
In her dream, Mu Wanting's cheeks flushed, her eyes were alluring, and her wrists clung tightly to him.
Her voice was shattered by the impact, calling out to him again and again.
"My husband."
Husband...
When Shen Xinglan woke up the next day and saw the mess around her, she was stunned.
He was never a man of great desires, yet he had such absurd dreams, dreaming of his own wickedness and of her unbearable tears.
He closed his eyes; he was truly possessed.
