Chapter 008: Social Death to This Extent

Ruan Qinghuan screamed in surprise and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. She was put on the bed and wanted to get up, but saw He An actually opened the window.

Then he got into bed and drew the curtains.

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

This is, helping her act?

Lying on a bed with a man, Ruan Qinghuan felt like she was put in a clamp and dared not move at all. Fortunately, He An did not do anything inappropriate after getting into bed.

Just when Ruan Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, He An suddenly startled her by saying, "Madam, are you not going to change your clothes yet?"

Are you afraid that others won't hear this sound?

Ruan Qinghuan suppressed her voice and said, "It's just acting. That's enough. Ruan Xiaoyue isn't that smart. I guess she'll leave soon."

Ruan Xiaoyue, who was standing by the window, heard this and looked around the room in the moonlight. She was very pleased to see that she did not see the clothes that Ruan Qinghuan was wearing today.

My mother was right. How could a prime minister be interested in a domineering woman like Ruan Qinghuan?

He An suddenly turned sideways, and Ruan Qinghuan couldn't help but get nervous. He only heard his low voice in his ears: "If you don't want your mother to worry, you'd better be obedient."

Is he threatening her?

Then, a pair of strong hands touched the button near her neck, and the words were extremely gentle: "Come, I'll help you."

I don’t know if Hean overestimated himself or the button was too difficult to unbutton, but he couldn’t unbutton it for a long time. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window, like the sound of a stone being stepped on.

Ruan Qinghuan suppressed his anger and said, "I'll do it myself."

Just as she was thinking about taking off her outer shirt to fool Ruan Xiaoyue, she heard a "hiss" sound and her dress ripped open. Ruan Qinghuan stared at He An in disbelief and found that he was also looking at her.

That look, like a vicious wolf.

Ruan Qinghuan then realized that he seemed, angry?

But what was he angry about?

The action of pulling off her jacket was a bit rough, and it was her skirt that was being pulled. He An simply half sat up, and the strength in his hands was just right. Before Ruan Qinghuan could react, he pulled it off until she was left with only a thin silk dress.

Ruan Qinghuan was so angry that he pulled the quilt over himself and said, "That's enough."

He An was indeed a little angry.

If he had left subconsciously when he accidentally saw her bathing in the Prime Minister's residence earlier, he could not understand Ruan Qinghuan's undisguised attempt to draw a line between them.

Even if she was angry because of Liu Yueru, she should have calmed down after what he did today.

"Who is it?" Xia Lian's voice came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

Knowing that Ruan Xiaoyue had left, Ruan Qinghuan felt relieved and wanted to leave, but He An pulled her back to the bed: "Where are you going, Madam?"

"Go back to your room and sleep." Ruan Qinghuan's heart was beating like thunder, and his intuition told him that He'an was in danger now.

Before she left, He An flew to stand in front of the door, looking at her with displeasure in his eyes: "If Madam wants to play hard to get, then your goal has been achieved. I have already said that Liu Yueru will move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion soon."

Ruan Qinghuan: "I don't have any. In fact, if you really like Miss Liu, I also agree to let her into the mansion."

Playing hard to get?

What kind of logic is this?

He An: “…”

She was really generous. She had just married into the family and hadn't even finished her marriage yet, but she was already thinking about taking a concubine for him.

Seeing him approaching her step by step, Ruan Qinghuan felt her heart almost in her throat: "Well, how about you tell me where I did wrong, and I'll correct it."

He An clenched her fists and said, "Then be a good mistress of the Xiangfu."

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

What does it mean to do well?

In my twenty years of life, this was the first time that I was considered a lustful man who could not move when he saw a woman.

He pushed Ruan Qinghuan against the wall, leaned on the wall with one hand, and slowly lowered his body: "Let's not talk about other women. Tonight, shouldn't Madam wait on me to rest?"

Ruan Qinghuan held his breath for a long time before uttering four words: "Sir, please respect yourself."

During the stalemate, there was movement in the courtyard. It was Mrs. Liu in the mother's courtyard talking to Xia Lian: "Madam said that I should accompany you to do the job, so that you won't be in a hurry when you call for water in the middle of the night."

"No need, Mrs. Liu. I can do it alone." Xia Lian didn't even realize that she was not confident in what she said.

As they were talking, they heard a scream from the room. They were both startled. Then Mrs. Liu smiled meaningfully and pulled Xia Lian into the side room: "It won't be finished in a short while. Come out when you call us."

Yuan Qinghuan let He'an carry her to the bed. She thought he was up to something bad, but she saw him pull the quilt to cover her, and then he didn't move.

Ruan Qinghuan, who was worried and determined not to sleep all night, finally couldn't help but fell into a deep sleep. He An listened to the even breathing beside him and turned to the side.

His night vision was excellent. The sleeping Ruan Qinghuan was no longer as shrewd and defensive as when he was awake, nor was he the fierce look who was not afraid of trouble in quarrels. His brows were relaxed, his breathing was shallow, and he looked calm.

But He'an couldn't understand why she was so defensive towards him and even wanted to sleep in a separate room from him.

He couldn't help but recall that she had said before that he would not return to Changchun Garden. She seemed to be accustomed to their current relationship which was in name only and was not worried at all that the servants in the prime minister's residence would look down on her because of this.

In the side room, Mrs. Liu and Dingxiang kept watch and fell asleep. Mrs. Liu wondered, "Did the master and the lady call for water last night?"

Xia Lian shook her head.

Mrs. Liu looked depressed. The eldest lady asked her to come over just to see if the relationship between the two was really good. Normally, newlyweds should be in the period of love, but there was no water that night...

Ruan Qinghuan turned over, opened his eyes slightly, then closed them lazily and buried his head in the pillow.

Why is the pillow so hard today?

As she arched her back, Ruan Qinghuan realized something was wrong...

Something was on his mind, so he woke up quickly. He looked up suddenly and met He'an's deep eyes.

Her eyes moved downwards, looking at her arms draped over him, and her legs riding on him...she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He pulled his arms and legs back as if he was running away. Before Ruan Qinghuan could apologize, He An said in disgust, "Madam, do you always sleep like this?"

"I... I'm sorry, I'm really not very honest when I sleep..."

"Not only was he dishonest, he was also talking in his sleep and spitting all over me?"

"I never drool, you are wronging me." Ruan Qinghuan's face turned red as if blood was dripping out. It was really unimaginable that he could be so socially shameless.

Ruan Qinghuan, Ruan Qinghuan, don't you have some brains? You can even fall asleep in such a situation. Have you never slept well in your entire life?

I greeted myself in my heart: "I will go out first and ask someone to prepare some clothes for me."

"You're going to do that?"

Ruan Qinghuan didn't react. She lowered her head following He'an's gaze, and then she realized that the collar of her simple dress was almost completely open, and the bun inside was shaking slightly because of her movement.

"It's better to water it, wash it and then change it."

As Mrs. Liu reached the door, she heard someone calling for water from the room, so she hurried back to the kitchen to give instructions.

While delivering the water, Mrs. Liu walked into the house and looked around. When she saw the torn dress on the floor, her heart skipped a beat.

Mr. Prime Minister, isn't that a bit too rude?
