Chapter 107 Since you're not ready, I'll help you.
The next day, Xie Yanzhi got up and saw Shen Qingnian bring in a copper basin and said softly, "Young Master, please wash up."
Xie Yanzhi saw her standing by the wooden frame, dressed as a maid, with her eyes lowered and not looking at him, showing him the respect of a servant, which was completely different from her previous aloofness.
It seems she really was a maid.
He squinted and said, "Come and help me change."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian's eyelashes trembled. She put down the copper basin in her hand and gently walked to the bedside.
Xie Yanzhi lifted the brocade quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that Shen Qingnian did not move, he stared at her with his narrow phoenix eyes without saying a word.
Shen Qingnian instinctively felt that Xie Yanzhi's gaze was always on her, and she noticed that he didn't get up.
She wondered how she was going to help him change his clothes.
It wasn't until she saw the gold-embroidered black boots at his feet that she understood Xie Yanzhi's meaning.
After looking at the boots for a while, Shen Qingnian told herself that this was what a maid should do, and she was just doing her job.
Thinking of this, she slowly squatted down in front of Xie Yanzhi, lifted Xie Yanzhi's foot with her slender hands, and put on another boot.
Xie Yanzhi didn't say a word, he just watched Shen Qingnian humbly put his boots on in front of him.
When Shen Qingnian's hand touched his leg, his heart skipped a beat.
Her gentle movements were like a feather lightly brushing against his heart, tingling and tickling. He tried his best to control the urge to pick her up in his arms.
Until she is completely tamed, he will no longer try to get close to her like he used to!
He was waiting for the day she would throw herself into his arms.
"Your Highness, you're dressed." Shen Qingnian lowered her head, her hands folded in front of her.
Xie Yanzhi stood up, stretched out his arms, and waited for Shen Qingnian to help him get dressed.
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian went over, picked up the black brocade robe hanging on the rack, shook it gently, and then carefully helped Xie Yanzhi put it on.
She stood in front of Xie Yanzhi again, straightened his clothes, then hugged his waist and tied his belt.
Xie Yanzhi looked at the person in front of him who was bowing his head and tying the jade pendant to his belt, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
His raised arms involuntarily moved closer together, as if trying to encircle the person.
Shen Qingnian had already fastened the jade pendant and quickly took a step back, creating distance between them.
Being so close to Xie Yanzhi was torture for her.
She walked to the copper basin, wrung out a towel, held it in both hands, and waited for Xie Yanzhi to take it out and wash it.
Xie Yanzhi saw Shen Qingnian hurriedly dodging away, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
She was clearly rejecting his touch.
Xie Yanzhi looked at her respectful appearance and sneered inwardly, knowing that she couldn't escape it sooner or later!
After freshening up, Xie Yanzhi asked Shen Qingnian to pack her bags, as they would be taking a boat back to the capital today.
Xie Yanzhi sat on a chair to the side, watching Shen Qingnian tidy up the room.
She was thinner than when he met her in Yunzhou.
The clothes were a bit too big, hanging loosely on her body, making her look somewhat empty and obscuring the curves he liked.
A string of fragrant beads slid up and down her wrist, drawing people's attention to her fair skin.
Suddenly, her knee hit the table leg, and her brow furrowed slightly.
Xie Yanzhi then remembered that she had cut her knee on shards of metal the day before.
He got up and walked towards that slender figure.
Shen Qingnian reached out and touched her knee. It did hurt a bit from the impact, but thankfully there was no bleeding.
Before I could even think about it, I was lifted off the ground and picked up by someone.
Before she knew it, she was already sitting on Xie Yanzhi's lap.
Xie Yanzhi pulled her into his arms, holding her hands in front of his chest with one hand and pulling her trousers down to her knees with the other.
Shen Qingnian's fair and smooth skin, as white as jade, was revealed, but there was a dark red scar on it, which looked rather jarring.
Xie Yanzhi frowned. He had given her medicine, but she still didn't seem to be getting any better.
Shen Qingnian hurriedly tried to cover her knees to prevent Xie Yanzhi from touching them.
She struggled to get off Xie Yanzhi.
Xie Yanzhi asked, "Where is the medicine I gave you? Why didn't you use it?"
The medicine is called Ice Condensation Dew. In just one night, Shen Qingnian's wounds will fade considerably.
But she didn't need to.
Xie Yanzhi scrutinized Shen Qingnian's face, which held a hint of disdain and resentment.
So that's how it is! Because it was he who gave her the medicine, she refused to use it. She completely disregarded any affection he might have for her.
"Is Young Master Xie there?"
Hearing the sounds coming from outside the door, Xie Yanzhi said coldly, "Since you don't want to make a decision, I'll help you!"
"I am here, please come in, Young Master Chen."
As he spoke, he pressed his finger firmly on Shen Qingnian's injury.
"Ah!" Shen Qingnian cried out unexpectedly.
The person outside pushed open the door almost simultaneously, and Shen Qingnian's voice naturally reached their ears.
Upon seeing the situation inside the room, Chen Jiangyuan immediately lowered his head, regretting why he had come in at this time.
He saw Shen Qingnian sitting on Xie Yanzhi's lap, one trouser leg slightly rolled up, revealing half of her smooth calf.
Thinking back to that sound, I suddenly felt there was something ambiguous about it.
So that's how it is!
Chen Jiangyuan realized that he might have interfered with the matter between Prince Xie and Madam Fang, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you and Miss Shen, I will go out first."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian was filled with shame and embarrassment. She struggled even more fiercely, trying to get off Xie Yanzhi. She never expected Xie Yanzhi to be so despicable!
They deliberately made her make that sound to mislead people.
She caused Young Master Chen to mistake her for a promiscuous woman, causing her to lose face.
Xie Yanzhi held down her struggling legs and whispered in her ear, "Keep struggling. I want to see if Chen Jiangyuan will fight me to the death for you!"
Shen Qingnian's heart tightened, and her pupils dilated instantly.
Xie Yanzhi's words were a blatant threat! If Chen Jiangyuan fought him to the death, he would surely perish.
Shen Qingnian scoffed inwardly; Xie Yanzhi knew exactly how to manipulate her.
That despicable scoundrel!
Not wanting to implicate Chen Jiangyuan, Shen Qingnian had no choice but to stop struggling. She turned her head away from him, also to avoid Xie Yanzhi's advances.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Jiangyuan viewed these actions as intimate moments between her and Xie Yan.
Seeing that the person in Xie Yanzhi had calmed down, he smiled and looked at Chen Jiangyuan: "It's alright, Young Master Chen, please come in."
Chen Jiangyuan was surprised that Xie Yanzhi would let him in, so he had no choice but to go in and sit down.
Seeing Xie Yanzhi holding Shen Qingnian in one arm and playing with a strand of Shen's hair with his fingers.
He never imagined that the usually aloof and noble Prince Xie would have such a reckless side.
After all, Madam Fang is such a beauty that she could not help but be moved.
Moreover, Madam Fang's face was slightly flushed, and she was very shy. She turned her head away and didn't even glance at him.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Now that everyone else had Xie Shizi, how could they still see him?
