Chapter 08 Taking Off Clothes

"Of course you have to walk on your own two feet."

"Do you want me to carry you out?"

Shen Yan choked her casually and calmly straightened his robe.

Indeed, he did not want to lend her his robe again.

She had already misunderstood him deeply. If he still cared about her like this, the misunderstanding between the two might be even deeper.

Besides, there were many gossips outside and they were so eye-catching. If someone saw Ning Yuan coming out of the room wrapped in his robe and spread the news, would their reputation be preserved?

But she was a girl after all. If she really went out like this, she would lose her reputation even more.

Shen Yan rarely encountered such a difficult matter that was even more difficult than the murder plot, and he was a little upset for a while.

After a long time without a response, he took the initiative to give in and said, "Otherwise, I will reluctantly stay here with you for a while. When your dress is almost dry, I will send you back."

Ning Yuan still ignored him, tugged at her still wet clothes, and was a little frustrated.

Although she was born in a rich family, she was not a spoiled lady who could occasionally be willful.

If she came home very late, Ming Wei would definitely find fault with her.

But since Shen Yan was unwilling to help her, the best way was to wait here until her clothes were a little dry.

Well, it would only be a little bit of bullying, and then she would be punished by her father to kneel in the ancestral hall, and then she would find a way to deal with it.

Shen Yan deliberately avoided looking at her, but this seemingly gentlemanly behavior actually had no effect.

He didn't even need to close his eyes. He only needed to hear the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through her gauze clothes, and he could not help but recall the girl's previously hidden beauty and panic.

In addition, her soft voice like spring breeze and drizzle kept echoing in his mind, making it easy for him to have an evil thought.

He suddenly became curious.

What would a voice like this sound like if it couldn't speak a complete sentence.

...

Shen Yan cursed himself in his heart like she did, pressed his forehead, and shook off these inexplicable thoughts.

If she would be punished, she could not stay here for long, and had to return home early.

He was a model of not being close to women among men, but even so, he couldn't help but have fantasies about her wet clothes.

If Ning Yuan really walked out like this, and some bad guys had bad intentions and deliberately provoked her, wouldn't a delicate lady like her be powerless to resist?

Shen Yan had his back to her the whole time, and finally raised his hand hesitantly and put it on the leather belt around his waist.

The white shirt gradually became loose, and the leather belt was about to be tied but not tied, just resting on the hips, outlining a slight arc at the connection.

His movements were very slow, and he seemed quite reluctant.

However, this slowness fell into Ning Yuan's eyes, but was inexplicably tainted with some lust.

She stared at his back and gradually widened her eyes.

Without blinking.

He, he, he...why did he take off his coat, as if he was seducing her.

He didn't do this last time, his movements were extremely fast, clean and neat.

The outer robe was taken off, and his broad shoulders and thin back came into view. Because he was only wearing a thin middle shirt, when his muscles were exerted, his seemingly thin figure showed clear lines of cleavage.

You can't tell, but he has a good figure.

Ning Yuan thought.

But for some reason, he reluctantly took off half of it, but suddenly took it off quickly, and then threw the robe to her.

Ning Yuan pulled her head out of the pile of robes, and when she looked at him again, she had a tall and elegant figure again.

The radiance was restrained, calm and composed.

...But his ears seemed a little red.

Is he shy?

Yes, after all, he was taking off his clothes alone in front of the girl he liked, and it felt a little bit that way.

He was kind, so she shouldn't expose it.

"Thank you, let's go."

The dry and warm scent of cold plums enveloped her, and she smiled at his back.

Before he spread his long legs, a cold voice came over first.

"If you don't want to be the topic of discussion on the streets tomorrow, I suggest you cover your face."

"Yeah!"

She responded happily, feeling that he was becoming more and more thoughtful. Just as she was about to lift up her wide sleeves to cover her face, something slowly floated down from his sleeves.

"Shen Yan, your things fell."

She bent over to pick them up and called him.

"What is this? Why does it look a little familiar?"

Shen Yan's heart dropped.

Oh no, he forgot her handkerchief.

He turned around quickly, and his movements were unexpectedly agile.

He was about to pick up the handkerchief before her, but she was not slower than him. In the end, they squatted down, pulled the two ends of the handkerchief respectively, and raised their heads at the same time.

"...How come this is my handkerchief?"

"I don't have it." They

looked at each other and said in unison.

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked first, "What don't you have?"

Shen Yan looked away unnaturally.

He thought Ning Yuan would ask, "You hid my handkerchief, do you like me?"

"I didn't mean to hide your handkerchief." He stood up and said condescendingly, "I picked it up in the corridor of the Ministry of Justice and forgot to return it to you just now. Don't be so self-indulgent."

"If you want it, take it."

After saying that, he walked out of the room first.

He had long legs and walked with big steps. Ning Yuan hurried to catch up with him. She held the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the silver edge of his white boots from under his hanging sleeves. She thought about it in a vague way. When she saw the handkerchief, she didn't think too much.

It's possible that it fell from her.

As a result, Shen Yan immediately admitted that he had picked it up, and explained that he had no intention of keeping it for himself, and added that she could take it if she wanted it.

If you want it, take it.

If she doesn't want it, does he want to keep it for himself?

He also said that he didn't want to keep it privately, and the flaws in his words were obvious. Her

expression was complicated. She looked at his tall back and planned to pretend that she didn't know about it.

A chuckle came from the front, and Ning Yuan was so scared that she quickly buried her head deeper in her sleeves.

He must be so happy to be alone with her for such a long time.

...They will have to ride in the same carriage together later. It's

really a good deal for him.

Shen Yan laughed.

But he laughed because he was angry.

It was an unprecedented feeling of being wronged and not being vindicated.

But now he didn't even dare to laugh.

This woman can think of everything as her own fault.

Ming Jue was standing outside the building, watching the two people walk around the Nine-Curve Bridge one after the other. His young master had a cold face and was only wearing a middle-length robe, while the outer robe went to Miss Ning.

What happened? He

was in a good mood when he came, why is he so sullen now?

He hurriedly went up to him and said, "Young Master, the carriage has been prepared. ... Why do you look so serious?"

Shen Yan glanced at him coldly, his eyes like a knife: "I am serious because I am serious by nature."

Ming Jue shut up with tact.

It's rare to see him angry, so it's better not to provoke him.

Arriving in front of the carriage, Shen Yan ordered, "Go to Ning Mansion."

The carriage slowly rolled over the bluestone road. Ning Yuan pressed tightly against the couch and tried to curl herself up as much as possible.

Although the carriage was spacious, the two of them sat face to face. When she raised her eyes, she could see Shen Yan's cold face. When she lowered her head, she could see his long legs placed neatly. His presence was too strong, so she had to try hard to turn herself into air.

But Shen Yan didn't treat her as air.

"Miss Ning, what are you looking up and down at?"

Are you thinking about him again?

A pair of light amber eyes with a little displeasure quietly waited for her next words.

No, if she was thinking about him, he should be able to hear it.

He was just angry for a moment.

Shen Yan's expression eased a little.

This man is too moody.

Ning Yuan shrank herself a little more and lowered her eyes.

"I didn't see anything, don't be sentimental."

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Keep silent, don't provoke Shen Yan, and live happily.

She silently repeated the four-character motto and determined to continue to treat herself as an ordinary cabbage.

The man rarely said anything to choke her. The car was silent for a long time. Ning Yuan pursed her lips and secretly glanced at him, but she saw that Shen Yan's eyes fell on her collar at some point.

Damn pervert, what are you thinking about?

The teeth left a few small teeth marks on her lips, and she clutched her collar tighter.

Earlier, when the carriage bumped, the collar of her outer robe opened slightly, revealing the pink gauze.

Shen Yan saw with his own eyes that the gauze had dried, dimly covering the spring scenery underneath, and only from the thinnest edge, the base color of her skin could be vaguely seen.

So since it was already dried, why didn't she return the robe to him?

Wouldn't she bring her robe back to Ning Mansion as a capital to show off to others?

Shen Yan's gaze was real, Ning Yuan could easily feel that he had never moved away from her collar.

That's enough, it would be too much to look again. Did

n't I hold it tight enough?

She shrank her neck, wishing she could immediately turn into a snow-white turtle.

Still looking, still looking!

Seeing that Shen Yan was still gazing at her with his eyes downcast, Ning Yuan finally raised her eyes unwilling to be outdone and met his gaze.

A silent confrontation ensued between the two, and they both thought that the other was taking advantage of the opportunity.

In the end, Ning Yuan's cheeks became increasingly hot, and she was the first to give in.

It was so hot in the carriage.

The dress she was wearing was originally the most suitable for the current temperature, but now she was covered with an outer robe, which made her feel airtight in the carriage, so that she was sweating slightly.

She was determined to ignore Shen Yan and not argue with him.

Just look, it won't make her lose any weight.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and for the sake of his official reputation, he probably won't do anything to her.

She slightly loosened her collar, and seeing that the clothes inside were already dry, she was completely relieved, and simply ripped open the collar of her outer robe, glanced over, and blew the wind through the gap in the curtain.

What did she mean?

This series of actions made Shen Yan quite puzzled.

The clothes were dry, but she didn't return the outer robe to him, but just ripped open the collar, deliberately revealing a thin and white neck, plus a pair of delicate collarbones.

Even though she looks good and has a fit figure, isn't this seductive method too crude?

It's just the same as those mediocre women.

Shen Yan was even more annoyed and didn't want to bother with her any more, so he said directly: "Miss Ning, please take off your clothes."
