Lu Yan grinned mischievously.
His eyes roamed over her without restraint.
"You...you're shameless!"
Chen Qingwan bit her lip and twisted her body a few times in frustration, which could be considered as performing a dance.
Those stiff movements were nothing compared to those of a dancer.
Even the maids in charge of sweeping and cleaning in Shannan Prefecture danced more naturally and smoothly than her.
Lu Yan leaned back on the soft couch, toying with a string of jade beads in his hand, and mocked mercilessly:
"Miss Chen, is this... what you call dancing?"
“Any maid in this household could dance better than you.”
Chen Qingwan's face flushed red and then turned pale.
I was so embarrassed I wanted to disappear into the ground.
“I…I have never learned to dance.”
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, his tone full of amusement:
"Oh? Really? Is it because you haven't learned it, or... are you just uncoordinated?"
This blunt truth completely ignited Chen Qingwan's anger.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Lu Yan's infuriating face into a pig's head, and turned to leave.
With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut.
Back in her room, Chen Qingwan was trembling with anger.
A surge of heat rushed to her head, causing her vision to blur.
The scene from just now kept replaying in my mind.
"I am the Empress of a nation!"
Chen Qingwan cried out in her heart, "As noble as she is."
When have I ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?
She bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a favored daughter of heaven, receiving endless love and affection. How could she have ever been looked down upon like this?
Dance?
She was a dignified empress, of noble birth, and quite capable of wielding swords and spears.
She had never learned to dance, something meant for amusement!
That bastard actually dared to complain that she danced badly!
Anger surged in her chest, threatening to consume her completely.
She wished she could rush back immediately and slap Lu Yan a few times.
Let him know the price of taking liberties with you!
But reason held her back tightly.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
Despite her anger, Chen Qingwan began to regret her impulsiveness.
She shouldn't have just left like that!
The lives of millions of people in the capital are still in this man's hands.
How could she disregard the common people because of a momentary impulse?
What if this man changes his mind?
What if he uses this to blackmail us and makes even more outrageous demands?
no!
She can't let that happen!
The capital city, Da Tong's capital city, the lives of millions of people, all depend on her!
She can't fall! She can't give up!
Chen Qingwan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She can no longer act impulsively; she must prioritize the greater good.
Now is not the time to be stubborn; she must find a way to win Lu Yan back.
Yes, we have to strike while the iron is hot and get him to make a decision before his anger completely subsides!
The people of the capital are still waiting for me to rescue them!
With that thought in mind, Chen Qingwan resolutely walked towards Lu Yan's room.
It was late at night, and the corridor was quiet.
Only a sliver of light emanating from Lu Yan's room stood out starkly in the darkness.
Reaching the door, Chen Qingwan hesitated for a moment, then withdrew her outstretched hand.
She bit her lower lip, her mind in turmoil. Should she just go in like this?
Wouldn't that seem too abrupt?
Will it make him even angrier?
However, she could not ignore the safety of the people in the capital!
With that thought in mind, Chen Qingwan mustered her courage again and gently knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock," three soft sounds, sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.
A slight noise came from the room.
Then, a lazy voice rang out:
"Come in."
The voice was slightly hoarse, yet full of magnetism.
This made Chen Qingwan's heart beat a little faster involuntarily.
She took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.
The sight that came into view stunned Chen Qingwan instantly.
Lu Yan was standing in the center of the room, shirtless, revealing his well-defined muscles.
He appeared to be preparing to take a shower, and he was holding a towel in his hand.
The light shone on him, outlining his perfect muscle contours.
He exudes a powerful masculine charm.
Well-defined abdominal muscles and strong, powerful pectoral muscles.
The flowing lines further accentuate the powerful beauty of masculinity.
Chen Qingwan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it; she had never seen such a perfect figure.
In her past impressions, Lu Yan was always impeccably dressed and gentle.
I never expected him to be so...wild after taking off his clothes.
This is completely different from the image he usually projects.
Yet it was surprisingly harmonious, as if this was his true self.
Chen Qingwan's breathing became somewhat rapid, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She had seen many strong warriors.
But I've never seen a figure as perfect as Lu Yan's before.
This jerk looks so skinny and weak, I never expected him to have such a great physique...
The thought flashed through Chen Qingwan's mind, making her even more embarrassed.
Lu Yan clearly hadn't expected that it would be Chen Qingwan who came in.
He paused for a moment, and the towel in his hand froze in mid-air.
The two of them just stared at each other like that.
"Ahem, Miss Chen, is there anything else this late?"
Chen Qingwan stammered for a long time, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Her eyes darted around, and she dared not look directly at Lu Yan.
