Chapter 246 Aren’t You Afraid?
Almost at the moment when Mu Huaian's voice rang out, Yu Qinghuan on the couch pushed Cheng Gongjin away.
The intimate atmosphere was gone.
The only thing left in her mind was the panic of being caught by Mu Huaian, and she was in a hurry to get off the bed.
But Cheng Gongjin's hand on her waist did not loosen, but tightened even more.
He looked calm, still looking like he was in control of everything, but there was a hint of unsatisfied displeasure in his eyes. He looked at Yu Qinghuan who was trying to escape in his arms like a frightened rabbit, and he had no intention of letting her go.
Yu Qinghuan suddenly became anxious and whispered, "Let me go..."
People are about to come in, why is he still pulling me? Is he afraid that Mu Huaian won’t notice?
"What are you panicking about?"
Cheng Gongjin's low voice was hoarse from being interrupted by love affairs, but his breath still sprayed on Yu Qinghuan's face.
Yu Qinghuan's mind went blank. "If I don't panic, he will come in soon."
Cheng Gongjin pursed his lips slightly, his eyes darkening, "Are you so afraid of being seen by him?"
Yu Qinghuan retorted: "Aren't you afraid?"
Cheng Gongjin raised his eyebrows, obviously not afraid.
Since he wanted this person, he had already prepared himself to be discovered by Mu Huaian, or even to be kidnapped.
"I thought you were prepared to be discovered by him when you climbed onto my bed."
Yu Qinghuan silently replied, "It's not like I climbed up by myself..."
It was you who pulled me up here. I am simple-minded and didn't have such thoughts.
At this time, there was a conversation outside the house. It was the voice of Da Ying, Xiao Ying, and Sang Ru.
After a while, footsteps were heard and they reached the door, and there was even the sound of the door being pushed.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan was so scared that her soul almost flew away. The only thing left in her mind was the most instinctive thought of avoiding disaster. In desperation, she even wanted to roll off the bed.
Cheng Gongjin frowned slightly and hugged the man tightly in his arms, "No one dares to let him into the house without my consent."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me."
She thought she was about to be discovered as soon as she hooked up with Cheng Gongjin.
Cheng Gongjin looked at her and said calmly, "Do you think anyone can enter my house?"
Over the years, only this person in front of her was brave enough to not let her in and even dared to kick the door.
Just as Yu Qinghuan was about to speak, Mu Huaian's voice rang out from outside, "Teacher, can I come in?"
Judging from his voice, he was obviously worried about Cheng Gongjin.
When their eyes met, Yu Qinghuan thought she understood what Cheng Gongjin meant. She kissed him on the face and while he was stunned, she quickly broke free from his arms and got off the bed.
He quickly straightened his clothes and pretended to pick up the empty bowl beside him.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan's attempt to hide her guilt, Cheng Gongjin's expression became complicated. He pursed his thin lips, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
He stared at me for a moment before speaking, "Come in."
After hearing what was said, Xiaoying and Daying stepped forward, opened the door, and let Mu Huaian in.
"Squeak——"
Mu Huaian strode in, walked around the screen and into the inner room. He saw Cheng Gongjin leaning on the couch at a glance. His face did not look too bad, and his tense face relaxed a little.
"Teacher, I heard you were unwell last night. How are you today?"
At this moment, Cheng Gongjin had returned to his former calm and composed demeanor, like a superior elder. He replied to Mu Huaian calmly, "It's okay."
He glanced at Mu Huaian in front of him and thought, if you didn't come, I would definitely be better off.
Mu Huaian was obviously relieved, "That's good."
He then couldn't wait to look at Yu Qinghuan, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He had planned to meet the teacher before looking for her, but he didn't expect that she was here too.
Without waiting for Mu Huaian to ask, Yu Qinghuan stood up and put the bowl in his hand back into the food box. "Since Master Cheng has finished eating, I will leave first. Huaian, you guys chat."
As she said this, she was about to escape with the food box.
Mu Huaian subconsciously grabbed her hand and said, "Wait, I'll talk to the teacher and then go with you."
As he finished speaking, Yu Qinghuan subconsciously looked at Cheng Gongjin and laughed dryly, "That's not good. I'm afraid that staying here will affect your conversation..."
"No problem, just sit down."
This time, it was Cheng Gongjin who spoke.
His gaze stayed on the two people's 'holding' hands in front of him for two full breaths, until Mu Huaian went to find another round stool and they both sat down beside it.
Mu Huaian spoke up to break the silence, "It's not that cold today, Teacher, how did you catch a cold?"
Yu Qinghuan looked at him. It was obvious that the matter of Feng Han was fabricated by the big and small shadows outside.
Cheng Gongjin had no intention of letting Mu Huaian know that he was poisoned, and he would probably keep it a secret until his death.
She suddenly felt sorry for the man in front of her. It hadn't been easy for him to get to this point.
Cheng Gongjin spoke slowly, "Last night when I came back, I ran into a wild cat in the yard. It must have been hungry and kept meowing, so it stayed in the yard for a while. The night wind blew too much, and it caught a cold."
As he said this, he glanced at Yu Qinghuan casually.
Yu Qinghuan felt uneasy when she saw his meaningful look. The ridiculous things that happened with Mu Huaian in the yard last night flashed through her mind, and her ears suddenly turned red.
Could it be that Cheng Gongjin was outside the courtyard at that time and heard everything?
No way, if he heard it last night, would he still care about me today?
Impossible, impossible.
Mu Huaian didn't understand the implicit meaning of Cheng Gongjin's words, and thought that a wild cat had really entered the Cheng Mansion.
"Teacher, please take care of yourself."
Cheng Gongjin nodded. "How do you feel about working in the Ministry of Rites recently?"
The two of them immediately started talking about state affairs. Yu Qinghuan wasn't interested and picked up the half-read book next to her and continued reading. This was a travelogue she had picked up from the shelf next to Cheng Gongjin's desk in the afternoon, which recorded the delicacies and interesting things from various places.
What she appreciated was that the person who recorded it had an interesting narrative, a roasted rabbit, and even a small picture.
I didn't expect Cheng Gongjin to read this kind of travelogue. It really doesn't suit him.
Seeing the interesting part, Yu Qinghuan's mouth curled up unconsciously and she smiled.
Mu Huaian's gentle voice still echoed in the room, talking about some colleagues he had recently come into contact with and things happening in the court.
Cheng Gongjin's gaze unconsciously drifted to Yu Qinghuan who was standing beside him.
I saw her with her head slightly lowered, concentrating on looking at the book in her hands.
It was already dark, and candles were lit in the room. The dim light flowed gently over her body, outlining a soft outline.
Perhaps she read something interesting, her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and then a faint smile quietly spread across her lips.
Such a smile is like a subtle but not negligible beam of light that makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
Cheng Gongjin's deep eyes were fixed on Yu Qinghuan, and he didn't even bother to listen to Mu Huaian's voice beside him.
"teacher?"
