Looking at the man's serene face, that perfect divine countenance, his quiet demeanor was indeed less bothersome.
I know perfectly well that he's just pretending to be asleep and refusing to leave.
But for a moment she didn't know how to push him away, and in the end she could only tolerate him holding her like that.
The moment she turned her back to the man, a faint smile of triumph appeared on his lips, and he tightened his grip on her.
Mu Chenshuang felt the man's strength; he was indeed pretending to be asleep. "I'll give you an hour at most."
The man didn't reply; he simply rubbed his cheek against the woman's hair and then remained still.
Outside the door.
After returning home, Qi Ye went straight to Mu Chen Shuang's room. Seeing that the door was closed, he glanced at it with a puzzled look and was about to knock when Ling Long stopped him.
"Don't knock, come here."
Qi Ye walked up to Linglong and asked, "Where is Miss?"
Linglong replied, "Miss and Crown Prince Junheng are inside. We'll talk about it when Miss comes out."
Qi Ye stared in shock, looking towards the direction of Mu Chen Shuang's bedroom door. What good could be happening inside in broad daylight?
"It seems that Miss has really fallen for that Crown Prince Junheng."
Linglong looked dejected, placed the tray in her hand on a bench, and sighed deeply.
Qi Ye turned to look at her, "Why are you sighing?"
Linglong leaned back on the bench, propping her cheek with one hand, and said helplessly, "Today I saw General Shen leave the Marquis's residence looking dejected, and I felt sorry for him."
Although she respected her mistress's wishes, she felt sorry for General Shen when she saw his dejected appearance. Her mistress and General Shen were clearly such a perfect match, but fate had other plans.
She was more worried that her mistress might not have a future with Crown Prince Junheng.
Qi Ye sat down and looked at Linglong, asking, "General Chen, did you see Miss with Crown Prince Junheng?"
Linglong nodded. "For Crown Prince Junheng to kiss Miss in front of General Shen is a blatant blow."
She truly despised Crown Prince Junheng's behavior.
"It seems you really hope that General Shen and Miss will be together."
Linglong sighed and said, "Of course, as long as Miss can be happy in the future, I respect Miss's wishes."
Having said that, she looked up at Qi Ye and asked, "Have you finished the task that Miss asked you to do this morning?"
"That goes without saying."
Linglong glanced at him, looking smug, picked up the tray and stood up, saying, "Don't be arrogant."
After Linglong finished speaking, she turned and left.
Qi Ye watched Linglong's departing figure, then glanced back at the direction of the bedroom. He could only wait for his mistress to come out before reporting back.
Qi Ye followed Linglong's footsteps, "I'm hungry, get me some meat to eat."
Linglong raised her eyes and glared at her, saying irritably, "Looks like I'll have to ask Miss to give you more tasks. You only eat two meals a morning, and you even want meat. Who can afford to feed you?"
"It's just a few meals, as if you can't afford to feed the young lady."
"What are you saying? I think if you leave Miss, you'll only starve to death."
Qi Ye crossed his arms behind his head and said, "Anyway, I won't leave Miss. If Miss has a meal, then I should definitely get a sip of soup."
The two bickered all the way to the kitchen.
In the blink of an eye.
A poetry and painting competition has quietly begun.
The event was held at Wanyue Lake, and the surrounding gardens were just as beautiful as those of the imperial palace. With the spring breeze, the willows were green, and the flowers were in full bloom, making it the perfect season for poetry and painting.
