Mountain Resort Tour
The first rays of dawn pierced through the room, casting swaying bamboo shadows on the two people lying face to face.
After Xu Lanxin slowly opened her eyes, she only felt a slight discomfort. Cen Yan considered that it was her first time, so apart from the initial pain, the rest of the time was extremely gentle and comfortable.
She turned to look at the person beside her. The soft light cast a pale gold hue on his raven-black eyelashes. She reached out and gently brushed her eyelashes, playing with them.
Her wrist was suddenly not grabbed; the person did not open their eyes, and their movements were gentle, merely a loose grip.
After pausing on her wrist for a moment, he slowly moved to envelop her entire hand, placed it on his lips, and showered her with soft, fleeting kisses.
Just as she was immersed in this tenderness, someone suddenly pounced on her, his eyes filled with lust.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Her voice was slightly husky and alluring.
Xu Lanxin lowered her eyelashes and shook her head.
"Then, let's do it one more time."
Before she could respond, a scorching heat wafted over her.
A warm, moist kiss lingered on his lips, prying open his teeth and teasing him.
Just as they were getting into the swing of things, a knock came at the door, startling both of them.
A blue carp came to remind someone of the time; it was time for someone to go to court.
Xu Lanxin chuckled lightly, which angered someone, causing their face to darken several shades.
"roll."
Cen Yan growled at the door in an annoyed tone.
He buried his face in her neck, his wet tongue roaming over her skin before slowly sucking on it.
"Hiss!" Xu Lanxin felt a pain in her neck.
"I'll deal with you when I get back tonight."
After uttering those gentle yet harsh words, Cen Yan rolled out of bed.
With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an upright posture, the official robe with its cross-collar and gold brocade exudes both majesty and abstinence.
Xu Lanxin rested her face on one hand, admiring the beautiful scenery before her.
Although Cen Yan was getting dressed, his eyes were always on the direction of the bed, knowing that she was watching him. The emptiness that had not been satisfied in the morning was now filled.
His thin lips curved slightly upward.
After he was dressed, a pair of jade-like arms wrapped around his waist.
"Zijin, what shall we do tonight?"
The person behind me had a captivating voice.
As soon as Cen Yan loosened his grip on the buckle, slender fingers covered his hand.
The earring was warm and slippery, and the little clove's tongue kept licking it, making him feel unbearably hot, and his Adam's apple bobbed. He grabbed the person behind him, lifted her up, and carried her to the bedside.
Before Xu Lanxin could react, he had wrapped her up like a cicada pupa, rendering her unable to move.
After a brief kiss on the lips, the person left with a whispered remark, seemingly in a good mood.
She was left alone, fuming and struggling with the blanket.
When Xiao Xi came in, she saw her master twisting and turning, unable to break free.
"Girl, if you roll to the side, you'll get out, right?"
Xu Lanxin stopped struggling.
"I'm checking if the blanket is warm enough, do you believe me?"
Xiao Xi nodded blankly.
"Go find me some clothes."
Taking advantage of the moment she turned around, Xu Lanxin quickly climbed out.
After getting dressed, she had Xiaoxi style her hair in a simple way. After looking around, Xu Lanxin still couldn't find a hairpin or ring she liked.
"Xiao Xi, do you have any simpler designs?"
"Miss, Madam has a makeup box. I'll go get it for you so you can take a look."
A moment later, Xiao Xi came over carrying a three-tiered makeup box. She selected a pair of small pearl combs and a white magnolia hairpin.
Xu Lanxin curiously opened each drawer to look inside, and found a jade pendant in a small drawer on the third floor.
To be precise, it's half a piece.
There are some unfamiliar totems on the edges, and the pattern in the center is only half visible and cannot be identified.
Is this my mother's? I'll ask Granny Li about it sometime.
Xu Lanxin put the jade pendant back in its original place, then picked out some hair ornaments that caught her eye, and had Xiaoxi put the makeup box into the storeroom.
After breakfast, Xu Lanxin asked Xiaoxi and Qingyu to pack some clothes, preparing to stay at the mountain villa for a few days.
I really want to see what Cen Yan's reaction will be when he gets home and finds she's not there.
Hmph, you little brat.
"Set off!"
After lowering the carriage curtain, Xu Lanxin gave instructions to those outside.
The outer courtyard of the Cen residence.
"I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find what you were looking for."
As soon as Ye Lan, who was wearing a ghost mask, opened his eyes, he looked at the person who had spoken.
"Keep searching."
"Madam has gone to the mountain villa today, which will make things much more convenient for the next few days."
"You went to the mountain villa? You should go back first."
After Hong Fu went out, he looked around and saw that no one was there. Little did he know that he had already been seen by someone.
Until night fell and I stepped outside.
"Brother Ye, where are you headed in such a hurry?"
Lin Yun'an stepped forward and blocked his way.
"If you weren't Xin'er's cousin, would you still be alive today?"
After a light, mocking laugh, Ye Lan walked past him and left, completely unconcerned whether Lin Yun'an followed behind.
Xu Lanxin had just arrived at the entrance of the manor and was about to get off the carriage when she heard a voice behind her.
"My dear."
"cousin."
Why did they get here?
"Big brother, cousin, what brings you here?"
The two men dismounted and strolled over.
“Why did you come here to play without telling me? I only found out this morning when I met Hongfu. Look, I even brought you some drunken duck from Yuanfulou.”
As night fell, he raised the food box in his hand and presented it as a treasure.
Meanwhile, Lin Yun'an handed her a small food box.
"Cousin, here are your favorite pastries."
Xu Lanxin gave an awkward smile and handed the item to Xiao Xi. Then, her gaze swept back and forth between the two of them until they felt uneasy under her gaze.
Could it be that these two couldn't stay at the Cen residence, so they found an opportunity to sneak out for a date?
So she's acting as both Cupid and a third wheel?
"Now that the older brothers are here, let's all play together at the resort."
Sigh, being the adopted sister of these two is really not easy.
Inside Dali Temple.
No sooner had Lan Yi and Lin Yun'an entered the manor that night than news was sent to Cen Yan.
With a snap, a purple-tipped brush was broken into three pieces.
Sitting behind the desk, Cen Yan's anger was practically overflowing from his eyes, and he exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.
After struggling to control himself, he beckoned to Qingyun and whispered a few words in her ear.
Upon receiving Qingyun's message, Yan'an immediately gathered his friends and headed to the mountain villa.
Just as Xu Lanxin finished making arrangements, Qingyu came to inform her that the Prince of Yan'an had arrived.
What is he doing here?
"Sister-in-law."
Great, no need to announce it, the person came in by themselves.
"Sister-in-law, you came to visit without saying a word. Look how bored you must be coming all by yourself."
No, I'm fine, on the contrary, I'm very interesting.
"Look what I brought!"
Yan'an raised his bow and arrow, showing off with pride:
"I'll take you hunting some game; we can have roasted meat for dinner."
Xu Lanxin's eyes lit up instantly, and she touched the bow and arrow.
After his initial excitement subsided, he said with a sullen face, "But I can't shoot arrows!"
"Sister-in-law, let me teach you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Yan's face automatically appeared in Yan'an's mind. His face was extremely sour, which made Yan'an unconsciously shrink his neck in fright.
"Well, let Qingyu teach you."
He was likely to be dismantled by Cen Yan before he even got close.
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as they stepped out of the room, Liu Jin and the others shouted in unison, just like in Yan'an.
"Sister-in-law."
Good heavens, the four beauties of Kyoto are all here. Xu Lanxin looked towards Yan'an.
"Are you all planning to have fun here?"
"Sister-in-law, let's go quickly. It's a rare opportunity to get out and have some fun."
Pushed and urged by Yan'an, she had just stepped out of the room when she ran into the two good brothers who had come looking for her.
"Xin'er, it's so lively here! Where are you headed?"
"Big brother."
After Xu Lanxin introduced the group to each other, she continued:
"We'll go hunt some wild game, we won't disturb you and your cousin, I understand, don't worry."
As she passed by them, she gave them a dismissive look.
Lin Yun'an stared at the departing person with incomprehension, then asked Ye Lan beside him:
"Brother Ye, what does my cousin know?"
Ye Lan glared at him and caught up with Xu Lanxin.
Seeing the people who had followed her, she was puzzled. They had been left to their own private time, yet they still came along.
Do they have performative personalities and enjoy dating in public?
The group worked on the back mountain for a while, but Xu Lanxin still didn't learn how to shoot arrows.
The others hunted some rabbits and pheasants, and then lit a bonfire in the courtyard of the mountain villa.
In her excitement, Xu Lanxin drank a few extra cups and became completely drunk, while the others were also staggering around in the courtyard.
The campfire was still blazing, crackling occasionally.
A snapping sound, like a tree branch being broken by someone stepping on it.
Someone is coming.
Ye Lan, who was lying on the table, suddenly opened his eyes and threw a hidden weapon from his hand.
The silver horn, illuminated by the firelight, revealed purple residue attached to it. The man turned to the side and then plunged it into the tree trunk.
"Brother Ye."
In the stillness of the night, my pupils focused, and I saw clearly who was speaking.
"Cen Yan."
The firelight cast a honey-colored hue over Cen Yan's black robes, while his face remained obscured by the backlight.
He walked over to Xu Lanxin and picked up the drunk woman.
"When we were in Jinling, I thanked Brother Ye for taking care of my wife. I will definitely repay him properly when I have time in the future."
After saying that, he picked up Xu Lanxin and prepared to leave.
"Xin'er is my adopted sister, and protecting her is what an older brother should do."
Cen Yan walked past him and asked again, "Just your younger sister?"
"nature."
"Then thank you very much, Brother Ye. It's good that Xin'er has a brother like you to protect her."
Ye Lanyi's pupils contracted, his deep eyes blurring as he turned to look at the person who had already walked away.
The dark figure had already blended into the night.
