Chapter 15 Night Party

Ning Yuan did not bring any valuables with her on this trip. The only things she was reluctant to leave were the rewards given by His Majesty.

That was the first time she mustered up the courage to save many people.

Shen Yan could take anything he wanted, but he must not take those.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan hurried to the dressing table while he was rummaging, quickly put on the bracelet, hid the jade flute around her waist, and finally picked up the plate of gold ingots and squatted back to her original place.

Shen Yan was attracted by her smooth movements.

"Ning Yuan, you finally showed your true colors."

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

He walked over and looked down at her. He saw that her coat was bulging, as if she was covered with a tray. It was very mysterious, but also quite concerned.

He slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

"I won't."

Ning Yuan shrank her body a little tighter, pursed her lips, and her eyes sparkled.

"Miss Ning, do you really want me to do it?" He was a little impatient, "If I accidentally tear your clothes, and accidentally hurt you——"

Before Shen Yan finished speaking, Ning Yuan handed the heavy tray out.

As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no worries about firewood.

Ning Yuan has always believed that money is external to the body, and nothing is more important than life.

"Give it to you if I want!" she said unhappily.

To be honest, she was really heartbroken that so much gold was stolen.

Ning Yuan hugged her knees silently, with an indescribable sense of grievance in her heart.

Is this the ominous thing that aroused his evil thoughts?

Shen Yan concentrated his mind and lifted the silk cloth covering it.

Then, looking at these gold ingots that he had exchanged for himself, he was speechless for a while.

"..."

"Are you kidding me?" He lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a storm in his eyes. "You know what you have done to me. I didn't come here to find this, Miss Ning."

He put the tray heavily on the table, and when he thought of her name, he was already gritting his teeth.

"Why are you so fierce? Go find what you want by yourself. I am not stopping you."

The girl buried her head in her knees, feeling more and more aggrieved.

He broke into the house late at night to rob, but he didn't rob these golden ingots, nor did he rob her, a beautiful woman. So what did he want?

Shen Yan searched the house roughly, but he didn't find anything unusual. His doubts grew.

"You...what are you looking for?" Ning Yuan couldn't help asking.

This woman is used to playing dumb. If he said it out loud, she would be more careful in the future.

Shen Yan ignored her and remained silent. He began to put away the mattress and table that he had messed up before.

His eyes were dim and his long eyebrows were slightly frowned.

He has never been interested in women. Even though he broke into Ning Yuan's bedroom in the middle of the night, he did not have any impure thoughts in his mind, which was enough to prove that he was not the dirty man in the dream.

But if there was no external reason, why would he have such a dream?

Shen Yan secretly annoyed her, and his hands did not stop moving.

Ning Yuan looked at the gradually tidy house, and her heart was a little complicated.

She always liked rooms with a more lively atmosphere, such as open pages on the desk, cool teacups on the small table, and dolls curled up in the quilt.

But after Shen Yan's commotion, the books on the desk were sorted and put back on the bookshelf, the cold tea was poured out by him, and the dolls were neatly sitting at the head of her bed, looking at the room that was almost tidy to the point of being inhuman, as if laughing at her -

Ning Yuan, you finally live in the Tomb of the Living Dead!

It seems that Shen Yan is still a robber with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After turning her room upside down, he still knew to clean up the crime scene.

Sure enough, excessive cleanliness will cause trouble in any job.

Wait...

Isn't he trying to take this opportunity to show off his excellent storage skills so that she will favor him?

"Um, Shen Yan, may I ask... are you here to clean up my room?"

"Actually, there's no need to wait until midnight to do something like this."

Seeing that he was too lazy to pay attention to her, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "... If you are afraid of being seen during the day and feel embarrassed, it's not impossible to do it in the middle of the night."

"But can you not be so sudden next time?"

"At least discuss it with me, so that I can leave someone in the room, so that you and I won't be alone, a man and a woman, in the same room..."

...

Shen Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Shut up."

Ning Yuan said "Oh" softly, and felt that her legs were a little numb from squatting. Just as she was about to stand up with the help of the stool, a white robe suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then, the white robe bent, and a bony hand grabbed her arm and lifted her up from the ground effortlessly.

She was caught off guard by the pair of inquiring eyes.

Perhaps because he had just finished his work, his breathing was a little rapid, and his breath fell on her lips, bringing with it a warm and itchy feeling.

He was so close to her...

In fact, apart from the fact that he was not so good-looking in every way, he was quite handsome.

Ning Yuan subconsciously stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips.

When she realized what she had done, the snow-white tips of her ears hidden under her black hair turned shamefully red.

Why did he look like he was asking for a kiss?

But she actually just felt a little itchy.

Shen Yan would not want to force a kiss on her.

Don't do that!

"... Ning Yuan, put away those crooked thoughts of playing hard to get."

The voice was as indifferent and distant as before. The

cold and lonely moonlight fell on him, casting a slender black shadow under the window.

His white robe brushed against the back of her feet like a gentle caress.

Even though his words were cold, it was hard to extinguish the heat in his eyes.

Don't think she didn't know, at this moment, he was staring at her deeply, looking her over from head to toe!

With such a beauty in front of him, I'm sure his heart must be melting, spring is coming, right?

Oh, who is playing hard to get?

Ning Yuan suppressed her emotions, and in the slightly weird atmosphere between the two of them, she looked at Shen Yan with a stiff upper lip, and whispered, "Have you made enough noise?"

The girl's voice was soft, with a little lingering sound due to sleepiness, her exposed neck was slender, and her body was sweet.

She didn't seduce him, but she always took a step back.

Fortunately, he had never been interested in her.

But he searched the room to no avail. After thinking about it, there was only one place where those things might be hidden.

That was her body.

If he hadn't thought of her as a delicate girl, he really didn't want to stand here and waste time with her. It would be better to take her to the interrogation room for careful questioning.

Shen Yan's eyes slowly traced her figure, looking for a place where things could be hidden, not willing to miss a single detail.

"You... don't look at me like that."

Ning Yuan really couldn't stand such a sharp and substantial gaze.

It made her feel as if he was slowly lifting the clothes that were used to cover her, and then standing naked in front of him.

"What are you guilty about?"

Shen Yan stared at her red face, and became more convinced that his guess was correct.

There must be something wrong with her.

He still hadn't retracted his sharp gaze, and Ning Yuan took a step back in fear, accidentally knocking over a low-legged stool beside him.

The stool made a crisp "dong" sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.

It was at this moment that Shen Yan caught a glimpse of the jade flute she had pinned in her pajamas.

Did she like it so much that she even had to take it with her to bed?

A slight ripple appeared in his eyes, which had always been as quiet as sinking water, and then he suddenly realized something.

Her flute sounded so bad that it could attract ferocious beasts.

Maybe... maybe she could also play music to create a dream and induce him to do such a thing.

This woman seems simple, but she is actually scheming.

While Shen Yan was distracted, Ning Yuan shook him off and said in panic, "Go away quickly. Zhuxing will hear the noise in my room and will come to check on me."

"It doesn't matter if she sees us, but what should I do if others know about it!"

With a responsible attitude towards her, Shen Yan had made up his mind when he came to fulfill the marriage contract after returning to Beijing.

Now that he roughly knew that she was using this flute, he simply became calm.

"I will marry you."

"Ah...?"

Ning Yuan's brain froze for a moment, and she looked at him in surprise.

"...What did you say?"

Did she hear it wrong?

Shen Yan glanced at her stunned expression, and a faint smile came out with a cold snort, which seemed to be self-deprecating and sarcastic.

"Miss Ning, isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"Let's not do it..."

Ning Yuan's voice trembled, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of despair.

"What did you say?"

He must have heard it wrong, she was so ecstatic, how could she refuse.

"...I said no."

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to play hard to get with me?"

"Okay, then it's as you wish."

The corners of his lips curved slightly, and his eyes seemed to be wrapped in the coldness of being coerced but having to obey.

...But it was obviously she who was forced to marry, right?

Ning Yuan was a little at a loss.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and Shen Yan's tone was even more unfriendly: "I tell you, you'd better forget the things in the dream and never mention it. As for our engagement, I will go to your house to propose marriage after returning to Beijing."

After saying that, a white shadow passed by Ning Yuan as fast as the wind, raising a burst of cool plum fragrance, entangled with her hair dancing in the wind.

...No, he is mentally ill?

The moment Zhuxing opened the door, Shen Yan jumped over the window sill and turned over to the outside of the wall. Zhuxing

was stunned for a moment, looked at Ning Yuan standing alone in the room, and rubbed his eyes.

"Miss, why do I feel like I saw Lord Shen just now?"

"Am I still dreaming?"

"But I clearly heard you two talking just now..."

She tapped her head and tried to recall: "It seemed that he said... he wanted to marry you."

Ning Yuan quickly covered the mouth of the star.

"He is sick, don't believe everything."

Ning Yuan's doubts grew bigger and bigger.

Shen Yan kept mentioning that dream tonight, and was angry about it many times.

Although that dream did discredit his image, it was her dream after all, how could he know?

Could it be that he was obsessed with her and cast some kind of witchcraft on her so that he could appear in her dreams every night?

As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about during the day.

If she were a little stupid, she would think that she was in love with him and that’s why she kept dreaming about him.

What a deep mind, what a perverted behavior.

Ning Yuan said to Shouxing seriously: "No, what happened tonight is so strange, I have to find out. Then I can go to His Majesty and expose his conspiracy and break off the marriage in one go."
