Chapter 49 049 He leaned down and pressed down...
Xie Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Lin Wan, who looked embarrassed, and chuckled softly.
"Wanwan, what do you think?"
He made no attempt to hide his mocking gaze, and Lin Wan had every reason to believe that he was doing it on purpose. Who would so carelessly put such a picture on their desktop? It's really despicable!
Lin Wan was trying to figure out how to ignore what was said, and the papers in her hand were a real hot potato.
"Wanwan, why did you stop talking?"
He looked up into her dark eyes, which seemed to see right through him, and seemed to see her retreat and avoidance.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Huaiyuan took a step forward, his gaze fixed on her with intense pressure.
Lin Wan really wanted to throw the drawing in her hand at his face, but she didn't dare. Who knew what outrageous things he would do if she threw the paper in front of him?
Taking advantage of his inattention, Lin Wan slowly put down the papers in her hand, intending to carefully avoid his gaze.
Unexpectedly, the paper was hooked by his suddenly falling fingertip and landed in his hand.
Xie Huaiyuan smiled without haste, tilting his head slightly and quickly scanning the paper. The drawing was exquisite and lifelike, almost as if it matched his own appearance. His gaze fell, taking in the spring scenery depicted in the painting, with hidden parts peeking out from among the lush foliage, captivating the heart and making one eager to see it for themselves.
The scene was completely silent; the only sound was the breathing of the person in front of you.
He looked at her meaningfully, a fleeting smile in his eyes, and took another step forward, forcing Lin Wan to hurriedly retreat. However, she was already at the edge of the table behind her, and there was no way for her to retreat any further.
"What exactly happened?"
The two were already very close, so close that they could almost feel each other's rapid heartbeats.
Lin Wan was pressed against the edge of the table, with nowhere to hide or retreat. She didn't dare to look up, her cheeks flushed red as if she had just applied rouge. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away, saying, "I don't know."
He raised an eyebrow, then leaned down, pressing her face to face with overwhelming force, their relationship completely unbridgeable. "Do you understand now?"
Lin Wan was stunned. Before she could dodge, she was pushed tightly against the table. She raised her hand to push away the person pushing her.
Winter had passed, and she had long since changed into spring clothes. Her outfit was not thick; even though it was clothing, it was a thin spring garment that could not cover her at all.
Although it was already spring, it was still chilly. There were still traces of spilled tea on the desk. The dress behind her, which had fallen onto the still-dry table, was instantly stained with tea, soaking that side of her clothes. The desk was near the open window, and a cool breeze blew in, filling the air with a chill.
Looking at his expression, Lin Wan was determined to get a straight answer from him.
Xie Huaiyuan raised an eyebrow at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. He picked up the drawing in his hand, placed it between the two of them, examined it carefully, and asked, "Shouldn't an artist see the actual person before painting? So, who was the person in this drawing used as a reference?"
She blushed with embarrassment because Xie Huaiyuan was pressuring her. Why bring this up now? Why force her to confess? She noticed that Xie Huaiyuan was still looking at her. She was too shy and embarrassed to meet his gaze, and her eyes darted around.
But the person in front of her had no intention of letting it go, and pressed on.
Lin Wan was at her wit's end. The swollen mass below was impossible to ignore, as hard as a rock. She could only whisper, "Where are there so many real objects to refer to? The painter just drew it randomly. It's much inferior in comparison."
Xie Huaiyuan seemed to be pleased by these words, and he looked at Lin Wan with a hot and direct gaze.
Lin Wan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. She wished it were the dead of winter so that she wouldn't have to feel it so intensely.
A breeze picked up, carrying a cool wind that blew in through the window, making the pages of the books on the table rustle. The paper Xie Huaiyuan was holding between his fingers was also blown by the wind, tumbling in mid-air. Just as it fell, he reached out and caught her blushing face in his hands, lowered his head, and kissed her.
The sudden change terrified Lin Wan, who opened her mouth to scream, but was instead swept over by his frenzied, conquering advance.
The delicate, understated strokes that outlined the lips gradually transformed into a tender, lingering connection between them.
Suddenly, he lowered his hands and wrapped them around her waist, taking a step closer and a slight smile playing on his lips.
At this moment, Lin Wan was completely unsteady. Her waist was pressed against the table, and her legs were squeezed so tightly that she lost control and was about to fall onto the table behind her. This startled Lin Wan like a frightened bird. Fearing that she would fall backward, she hurriedly reached out to grab anything she could. Fortunately, her fingertips tugged at his sleeve. In her panic, her legs, which were suddenly lifted off the ground, unconsciously wrapped around his side. His hot penis was pressed against her sensitive spot. For a moment, she was too shocked to move.
Lin Wan panicked. Tension, fear, shame, and humiliation flashed through her mind, leaving her no time to think about anything else and no way to escape.
This is too torturous, Lin Wan thought to herself.
This person is really wicked!
The crisp, sandalwood scent wafted out from Xie Huaiyuan, accompanied by the intense heat of the fire, invading her body with an indescribable scalding sensation.
Even with the constant cool breeze blowing in, it couldn't dispel the blush-inducing ambiguity in the study.
"I'm in pain, can you help me?" His voice was low and hoarse, and his deep breaths were hot. Unlike the previous few times when his kisses were just light touches, his heavy possessiveness seemed to want to crush her.
"...How can I help?"
Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat. This... could it be that she was to...
No, she didn't want to.
Deep down, Lin Wan was still very resistant to this matter. After all, they weren't married yet, so how could they do that?
Her face flushed with embarrassment, she dared not look up at her, yet her entire body was resisting, telling her that she did not want to, that she was unwilling.
Suddenly, Xie Huaiyuan stopped.
He slowly raised his eyes, and their lips, which had been touching, parted, revealing a clear trace of moisture. He smiled and said, "Use your hands."
Lin Wan suddenly looked up, staring at him in disbelief.
"What, you're suddenly shy now? You weren't this shy in the carriage last time."
How can this be the same? That time it was just through her robes, and she didn't go too far.
Xie Huaiyuan watched as her face gradually turned red. Amidst her wild thoughts and struggles, Xie Huaiyuan took her hand and placed it on his hand, lifting the cover.
He guided her, his delicate hand covering hers again. The scalding heat of the boiling soup almost set her ablaze, and the undisguised sensation of the horned insects shocked her even more, making her look ferocious and clawing.
Lin Wan had only one thought left in her mind: the picture that she had paid a lot of money to have specially drawn by an artist was really far from the truth and was completely unreal!
That money was almost wasted. I spent a lot of money to have the artist draw the picture, but I didn't even get to look at it closely. Now, compared with the real thing, it's so different.
I was surprised again; how could this person be so tall and handsome? It was terrifying.
Xie Huaiyuan led and guided her, his hands moving constantly, the soft, delicate horned insect rubbing against him, startling Lin Wan sobbing and begging for mercy.
He lowered his head and suddenly kissed Lin Wan, silencing her gasp. He effortlessly probed deeper with his tongue, wantonly hooking and drawing out the sweetness from her tongue.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The servant, Lüzhu, dared not push the door open and entered. He merely stood outside the half-closed door and respectfully said, "Lord Gu Qinghe has arrived. He says he has important matters to discuss."
Gu Qinghe?
Lin Wan was startled and lost control of her grip, almost letting go.
Xie Huaiyuan noticed the changes in her expression and sneered, his smile tinged with amusement.
Xie Huaiyuan clearly sensed Lin Wan's absent-mindedness. He frowned slightly, his face darkened, and a chilling aura gradually filled his dark eyes. "I understand. Tell him to wait in the front hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he covered her hand again with his, so forcefully that she couldn't break free, and it took a while before he finally stopped.
Xie Huaiyuan then let her go, deriving a sense of satisfaction from it. He looked down at the marks of Mi Zhanyue on her hand, which eventually landed on her dress, leaving an even more unsightly mark. "Go take a bath and change your clothes."
Lin Wan's face was a mixture of emotions. She wanted to ask Gu Qinghe why he had come, but she couldn't bring herself to ask. Hesitating, she met Xie Huaiyuan's scrutinizing gaze, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She was so ashamed and angry that she hurriedly fled from his arms.
lobby.
With a somber expression, Gu Qinghe waited for a long time, and the servants had refilled the teacups several times before Xie Huaiyuan finally arrived late.
From afar, one could see Xie Huaiyuan wiping his hands with a handkerchief as he walked, methodically removing the water from his hands.
As Xie Huaiyuan entered, Gu Qinghe, who was sitting upright, quickly stood up. She was surprised to see water droplets on his hair and a cool fragrance wafted over her nose. Had he taken a bath and changed clothes in broad daylight?
Xie Huaiyuan asked calmly, "Lord Gu, what made you think of coming here to look for me?"
Gu Qinghe composed himself and carefully explained his intentions.
A few months ago, he was ordered to investigate a bandit suppression case in Licheng from many years ago. He thought it was just a routine investigation, but he found that things were probably not so simple.
It also involves the assassination attempt in the palace many years ago. He suspects that there are still doubts in both cases. However, the assassination attempt in the palace was handled by Xie Huaiyuan. The situation is urgent, so he has no choice but to come and find Xie Huaiyuan.
Finally, Gu Qinghe asked hesitantly, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of a man named Li Yunzhou?"
Xie Huaiyuan was silent for a moment. The surname Li flashed through his mind. Among the assassins who had infiltrated the palace many years ago, that person was surnamed Li. After a long while, he smiled faintly and said, "There are many people with the surname Li in the world, and there are also people with the same name. I really can't recall anyone with this surname in my memory."
Fortunately, Gu Qinghe didn't dwell on the matter any further. Instead, he had another matter weighing on his mind, which was the real reason he had come to see Xie Huaiyuan today.
He had heard that Lin Wan had been missing for almost half a month, and that the capital had been searched almost entirely, but she was still nowhere to be found. He knew that Lin Wan had a private connection with Xie Huaiyuan, and the rumors in the capital were never unfounded. He had his suspicions and wanted to come and see for himself.
He hesitated slightly before speaking: "Miss Lin from the Su family has been missing for more than half a month. I wonder if Your Highness is aware of this matter?"
"I've heard a little about this," Xie Huaiyuan glanced at him and continued calmly, "However, I heard that Lord Su has already joined forces with the city patrol to search for the person in the capital. They should be found soon, right?"
Gu Qinghe was taken aback, not expecting that Xie Huaiyuan was also unaware of this. His expression remained as calm as ever, but a hint of disappointment flashed across his face. "Alright then, thank you for your trouble."
"I've heard that Lord Gu's aunt is Madam Su of the Su family, so you and Miss Lin must have a very close relationship?"
Gu Qinghe's expression was distant, as if he were reminiscing, which made Xie Huaiyuan's expression change slightly, showing extreme displeasure.
Gu Qinghe: "We can be considered acquaintances."
He didn't get the information he wanted, and Lin Wan still hadn't found him. Logically speaking, she wouldn't have left the capital rashly, especially after learning that the person she was looking for had died in the capital.
His departing figure was incredibly lonely, a scene that caught Xie Huaiyuan's eye.
Xie Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Qinghe as he left, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his handsome face.
He muttered under his breath, a half-smile playing on his lips, "What a wonderful acquaintance!"
backyard.
After bathing and changing, Lin Wan stood under the corridor, gazing at the courtyard swept by the cool breeze.
A cool breeze gently caressed my hands beneath my sleeves. Even though I had washed them many times, a slight tingling sensation remained on my fingertips.
It's really...
