"I...I like it."
"Why are you still stuttering?" Yan An wrapped her slender white fingers around Yue Xiyuan's neck again. She brazenly hooked her slender and straight legs around Yue Xiyuan's waist and quickly kissed him. Yue Xiyuan felt Yan An's softness, and his breathing became heavier again.
The sudden kiss was no longer as fleeting as before; it caught Yue Xiyuan off guard like a storm. However, Yue Xiyuan quickly reacted and placed Yan An on the bar, where the height was just right. Yue Xiyuan's right hand supported the back of Yan An's head, while his left hand wrapped around her waist. His lips and tongue were soft yet possessive, and the space seemed to freeze for a moment.
It must be said that the man was extremely skilled in this area. Yue Xiyuan, who was very unfamiliar with it just now, was now in complete control. It was unknown how much time had passed, but it was known that a very long time had passed before Yue Xiyuan finally released Yan An.
"An'an, shall we get married?" At this moment, Yue Xiyuan was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, completely out of control. He wanted to marry Yan An as soon as possible. Yan An in his arms was so sweet, he wanted to devour her whole.
"Getting married..." Yan An looked embarrassed.
Yue Xiyuan suddenly remembered what he had said to the Empress Dowager that day, and hurriedly explained, "That day, when Mother proposed that we get married, I did not agree because I thought that I had not discussed it with you before rejecting Mother. It was not that I was unwilling to marry you."
"I know everything, how could you bear to see me suffer! After the Emperor and Sister Ya Nan get married, we will get married." Actually, Yan An didn't hear anything that day before being called away by Da Hui, but seeing Yue Xiyuan's anxious look, she cupped his face in her hands and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"Oh, right, I have something to show you." Yan An took out a box containing two imperial edicts. One was Yue Zhixiao's, which she had exchanged in court, and the other was an imperial edict from the Emperor to Yan An, which Yue Zhixiao had thrown away in court yesterday.
"This is the imperial edict that Yue Zhixiao was going to read yesterday." After Yue Xiyuan opened the edict, it clearly stated that the emperor was unwell and would pass the throne to Yue Zhixiao.
"It must have been written by the poisoner when my brother suddenly woke up that day. It was thanks to An'an that Yue Zhixiao didn't succeed." Yue Xiyuan gave Yan An a light peck. He was becoming more and more skilled at this kind of thing.
"The source of the money that Song Zhiyuan had kept in the unknown place has been found. It was used to cover the daily expenses of Yue Zhixiao's privately maintained army. I suspect that the army was being maintained by Yue Zhixiao on the moat mountain, but the Imperial Guards have searched for many days without finding anything. I need to go to the moat mountain in the next few days."
"I'll go with you."
"good."
"Was Ya Nan also from that era?" Yue Xiyuan thought of Yan An and Gu Ya Nan's relationship and felt that only this idea could explain it.
"Yes, in that world, Sister Ya Nan's name was Yu Cheng. She was five years older than me. I grew up with her since I was a child, and we were like sisters. When I was ten years old, my parents in the modern world passed away, and I lived in her house from then on until I was exceptionally admitted to a key university in Z country. When I was sixteen, Yu Cheng contracted an incurable disease and passed away. It was my master who brought her to the Tiancang Continent. My master said that she could meet me again here, so she came."
Yue Xiyuan gently pulled Yan An into his arms, "We're here!"
"An'an, your coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. Is there anything you want?" He did have something he wanted to give her, but he still wanted to ask Yan'an if she wanted anything else.
"I like everything you gave me." Yan An snuggled closer to Yue Xiyuan, listening to his strong heartbeat. It felt so good.
"By the way, Yue Xiyuan, how are my father and elder brother?" The father and son have been gone for many days. Although they brought some deworming medicine, just like Yue Xiyuan's time, there were bound to be some oversights.
"We are expected to arrive in the Southern Territory today. Everything is going smoothly on the way."
"That's good." Hearing that her father and elder brother were alright, Yan An's worries subsided somewhat.
Knock knock knock... "Master, Young Master Qi and Miss Qi have arrived." Judging from how much his master adored the future princess, he must have come to Linglong Pavilion to accompany her. Manager Wang was just waiting at the door.
"Is Xiyuan inside? Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?" Qi Hongchen wondered whether Yue Xiyuan was inside after the shopkeeper knocked on the door several times without Yue Xiyuan opening it.
Normally, Qi Hongchen could just walk into the fifth floor whenever he wanted. Just as he was about to push the door open, Manager Wang stopped him. "Young Master Qi, why don't we wait a little longer? Let's knock on the door again?"
He had personally escorted the princess inside, but had not seen her come out. Now, when he knocked on the door, the princess did not knock either, but he dared not let Qi Hongchen in without permission.
Hearing Yue Xiyuan inside, Qi Yanyan tugged at Qi Hongchen's sleeve, "Big brother, how about we come another day?" Although Qi Yanyan had been pampered since childhood and grew up with them, she was afraid of two people, one of whom was Yue Xiyuan.
Ever since Qi Yanyan was born, Qi Hongchen had been showing off to others that he had a chubby little sister. When Qi Yanyan was finally over three years old, Prime Minister Qi and his wife allowed him to take her out to play. He was overjoyed and immediately took Qi Yanyan to the Imperial Academy, a place where the children of the imperial family studied. The current Empress Dowager was Prime Minister Qi's sister, so Qi Hongchen was also qualified to enter the Imperial Academy.
The students in the Imperial Academy were all smitten by the adorable little baby, vying to hold Qi Yan Yan. Only Yue Xi Yuan remained seated, engrossed in his book. Qi Hong Chen, carrying Qi Yan Yan, walked towards Yue Xi Yuan, saying, "See? This is my little sister. Isn't she cute?"
Yue Xiyuan didn't even glance at Qi Hongchen, and Qi Hongchen naturally didn't give up either. After all, he had such a cute little sister, so everyone had to know. He carried Qi Yanyan and turned to face Yue Xiyuan.
Yue Xiyuan raised his eyes, his brows furrowed, his expression turned cold, and he said with a hint of anger, "You have disturbed me."
Qi Yanyan was startled by the sudden chill. This was the first time someone had looked at her like that, as if they wanted to devour her. Even though it was Qi Hongchen who said it, she burst into tears. Qi Hongchen had no choice but to carry his crying sister back to the Prime Minister's residence, for which he was scolded by Prime Minister Qi.
That incident left Qi Yanyan with a lasting impression of Yue Xiyuan, making even a three-year-old toddler who couldn't remember anything retain the terrifying look in Yue Xiyuan's eyes.
Since then, coupled with rumors circulating among the people, Qi Yanyan became even more convinced that Yue Xiyuan could eat people. Therefore, Qi Yanyan was not around wherever Yue Xiyuan was. Even if it was unavoidable, Qi Yanyan would stay at least five meters away from Yue Xiyuan.
