Chapter 41 Coyness

There is really nothing you can do with him.

Ning Yuan sighed in her heart, but when she looked at Shen Yan, she was in a dilemma again.

The so-called "reluctant to accept but also willing" should be a

tacit understanding between the two parties. One person takes the initiative and the other refuses, so that this coy attitude can be perfectly expressed. But now he is sitting there motionless, wishing to keep her away from him. She has to take the initiative and refuse coyly. Isn't it really like she has gone crazy?

...

Shen Yan rubbed his forehead and felt that he couldn't let her think about it anymore, otherwise he didn't know what kind of mess would happen.

He planned to tell her about what happened today.

"Come here."

He straightened his back, tapped his fingers on his little finger, and motioned her to sit on the other side.

Ning Yuan blinked.

He finally had a conscience and knew that he had to take the initiative to cooperate with her before he could continue .

"That, that is the seat of the future wife of the master. I, I am not worthy of it." She said shyly.

... Are you addicted to acting?

"Okay, then you squat." He said impatiently.

Ning Yuan pursed her lips, thinking that he didn't know what pulling was.

She had already shyly refused.

At this time, he should have grabbed her wrist forcefully, pressed her to the seat, and said in a deep voice: "This master said you can sit, so you can sit!"

"Don't say this is just a seat, even if it is the position of the lady in the mansion, you can sit!"

Shen Yan listened to her inner voice, was silent for a moment, and suppressed the idea of ​​throwing her out.

He thought, if she could get into the role earlier, it would be better, so that the princess would not find out the flaws too early.

He said slowly: "Ning Yuan, have you ever thought about it, it was not long after the princess' birthday banquet, why did she invite all the officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital to attend this lotus viewing banquet so soon?"

Ning Yuan raised her face and looked into a pair of eyes as calm as water.

What is this? The

"Let me test you" that all men love?

If it were an ordinary man, she was sure that he would want to see her say "I don't know" in a daze, and then hear him tell the reason, and then praise him with admiration, "Young master is so insightful!"

But he is Shen Yan.

He doesn't seem to like fools.

He likes her because she is beautiful and smart. He doesn't even want to see her hide her shortcomings. He wants her to be as outspoken as he is.

In order to please him, she can only think: "The princess didn't succeed last time. This time she is trying the same trick again. It's probably to grab another life-saving straw. I just don't know whose lady this life-saving straw will be." "

But in my opinion... the legitimate lady who is very favored by the family should not be her target. I'm afraid that those with a slightly inferior family background will not work either. She doesn't like those with a coquettish and unruly temperament..." "In this case

, there shouldn't be many girls who can meet her requirements."

Shen Yan nodded in approval: "Not bad."

This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he is satisfied with this round. This book is exclusively organized by the LK team for you. Shen Yan took out a stack of pages from the small compartment and handed it to her.

"She should choose from these ladies."

"You go and write down the information of these people and keep an eye on them secretly."

Ning Yuan stared at his hand, thinking, is this a new active test?

Should she be shy again?

She wrapped her hands around his big palms and gently pushed them back, lowering her eyebrows and smiling coquettishly, "I am stupid, so please read it to me, sir."

... Why is she acting coquettishly with him again? There

was silence in the carriage for a while.

Ning Yuan thought that he didn't let her shut up, which meant that she was easier for him to accept than she had shown at the beginning.

She did not dare to imitate the storybook and intertwine her fingers with his too actively. She just pulled the corner of his sleeve and shook it gently: "Okay?"

Shen Yan felt that her voice had an irresistible and strange power.

He was obviously uncomfortable listening to her, but he could not refuse her.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the paper, and spoke slowly.

...

Shen Yan's voice rang deep in his ears, and in a blink of an eye he read to the last page.

Ning Yuan squatted for a long time, and her legs were numb.

"Have you written it all down?" He folded the paper and asked her in a low voice.

She nodded while hammering her legs, and the carriage slowly stopped.

She was about to get up, but because she squatted for too long, her eyes went dark, her knees fell forward, and she knelt straight on the ground.

The dizziness had not yet dissipated, and she casually pressed down something that could support her hands and cried out softly.

Her forehead seemed to touch the fabric of his clothes, which was soft and smooth, with dark patterns of ice-cracked plum blossoms and his unique cold fragrance.

"Master, we're here." Ming Jue

happily lifted the curtain, and then froze for a moment, his whole face quickly flushed.

He pretended to be calm and lowered the curtain: "I didn't see anything."

Ning Yuan calmed down a little, thinking, if he saw it

, then so be it. She didn't eat regularly on weekdays, and it was inevitable that she would feel dizzy and numb in her legs after squatting for a long time. Wasn't it just a fall?

She wanted to stand up with the thing in her hand, but when she exerted force, she actually felt the flesh and bones.

The originally soft fabric inexplicably pressed against her forehead.

... She suddenly realized what this was.

At that time, he was sitting leisurely, and she squatted in front of him...

She curled her fingers in despair, and then a big hand pressed on her shoulder.

... He didn't want to stop her from getting up and force her to help him like this, did he?

She had seen many such scenes.

A woman couldn't have sex because she was pregnant, so she found another way to help her husband relieve his pain.

She wanted to yell at him, but she remembered that she had just made it clear that she had arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion. If others knew that it was her who was in the carriage, she would not be able to get in today.

She had no choice but to continue to pretend to be a maid.

Ning Yuan struggled and shouted, "No!" It

was full of resistance, without any shyness.

... She didn't want to get up yet?

Hearing this, Shen Yan held her hand and paused, then picked her up with greater annoyance and threw her on the seat in the car.

She did it on purpose.

She deliberately fell between his legs and pressed his thighs, just to force him to do that to her.

She had already mentioned this sentence when she rehearsed in her mind yesterday.

He leaned over and cast a shadow in front of her, and pinched her chin with one hand. Before he could scold her, she said, "You, you, you...you are shameless!"

She widened her eyes, and a layer of red appeared on her fair face. Her eyes like spring water looked at him in disbelief, trying to protect herself.

She rarely saw him so strong. Last time he kissed her forcefully.

He really likes this.

Shen Yan frowned, and his whole person was cold as ice.

"Haven't you acted enough of your reluctance to accept?"

"I, I, I'm not acting with you now!" She argued palely.

"Do you really want to?" Shen Yan met her gaze, without any guilt.

"I don't want to be with you!" She was also very arrogant, looking down, "I think you are the one who really wants it, right?"

"..."

He pulled off his robe without leaving a trace.

Very annoying.

"Miss Ning, you were the one who took the initiative to touch my leg first." He said in a deep voice.

"Who touched you? Don't be so self-indulgent! I need to help me get up!"

"Then what were you doing pretending to be a maid and deliberately seducing me before?"

"...Isn't this the dress you gave me?"

Shen Yan was speechless for a moment.

It was all because of Mingjue's nonsense.

"Okay, I'll help you." He let go of her hand, turned around and wanted to get off the carriage, "Miss Ning, you take care of yourself."

She grabbed his sleeves.

"Shen Yan, are you threatening me because you can't have me?"

"After all, I have tried to please you for so long. I have worked hard, but I have no merit. You can't just leave me alone!"

"Then what do you want?" He asked coldly.

She'd better ask him to marry her home.

Ning Yuan bit her lip, pointed to the gate of the princess's mansion, and said pitifully: "I don't have a letter, you should at least take me in."

...That's it?

He didn't stop her from following him from the beginning to the end, did he?

He said unhappily: "Follow by yourself."

The two got off the carriage and walked towards the princess's mansion with Ming Jue outside the carriage.

Ming Jue looked at the young master in front of him, then looked at Ning Yuan beside him, and called in a nice voice: "Young Master!"

Shen Yan did not stop, and did not pay any attention to his intentions.

Ming Jue had no choice but to look at the girl beside him: "Ning——"

Before she could even call out the word "Miss", Ning Yuan said, "There are too many people around, so please call me Yuan Yuan."

Shen Yan was walking in front, thinking unhappily, "Brother, brother, you call everyone brother, but you only call him by his full name."

Ming Jue shook his head: "Yuan, Miss Yuan Yuan."

Then he received a stern look from Shen Yan.

"Yuan Yuan." He said in a cold voice, "Come here."

The stinky ice face must be going to do something bad to her again!

She took two quick steps forward unhappily.

"What for?"

"This young master is hot, wipe the sweat."

Ning Yuan threw him a handkerchief unhappily.

He took it in a good-tempered manner, picked up a corner of the handkerchief and handed it to her.

"If you are a maid, you must act like a maid."

He suddenly felt that the idea in her mind was quite good.

Ning Yuan glared at him, took it angrily, tiptoed and wiped his forehead, reluctantly said: "Is it okay now?"

"There is another side."

Ning Yuan raised her eyes and took a look. In fact, there was no sweat at all. He just wanted to take the opportunity to order her around.

She snorted in dissatisfaction, walked around to his side, tiptoed, and wiped his forehead fiercely.

In the sunlight, the slender white wrist was very dazzling, and the handkerchief stained with the girl's body fragrance brushed across his nose.

Even though she was deliberately taking advantage of him to vent her anger, Shen Yan's mood was still better.

"Haha, General Pei, I never thought that Zhiyu would bring a maid to a banquet one day."

The footsteps came closer and closer. Ning Yuan was startled and suddenly put down her handkerchief and retreated behind Shen Yan with her head down.

Shen Yan saw that a court official came to disturb him, so he decided to let Ning Yuan go. He turned around and said to her, "Why don't you go to the maid brought by the female relatives to ask what clothes those ladies are wearing today, so that it will be convenient to find them later."

"I'll send them away and go over."

"Yes."

She raised her eyes guiltily and looked at the person who came, but met Pei Zixing's inquiring gaze. She hurriedly lowered her head and responded, turned around and left.

Pei Zixing felt that the maid next to Shen Yan looked familiar, and he would not mistake her appearance after just meeting her in a hurry.

It was Ning Yuan.

Why was she here?

Seeing Ning Yuan leaving, he said to the old man with a white beard beside him, "Master Chen, please talk to Zhiyu first. I have something to do and I have to go first."

Then he chased after her back.

Pei Zixing was relieved when he first learned that the princess did not invite her this time, but he never thought that Shen Yan would risk putting her in danger and bring her here dressed as a maid.

He was really worried about the possibility that she was pregnant.

He followed her to a remote place with few people, spread his legs and grabbed her arm.

Ning Yuan was startled and was about to shout molestation, but when she turned around, she saw it was him.

"Brother Pei?"

"Why did you follow me?"

He put his hand down without leaving a trace.

"I saw you come here in disguise, and I was afraid of disrupting your plan, so I didn't dare to call you by your name. I hope I didn't offend the lady."

This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. She smiled: "It's okay, Brother Pei, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Yuanyuan."

"I came here today because I was afraid that the princess would repeat her old tricks and design to harm other ladies, so I wanted to find out secretly."

He shook his head: "It's too risky."

"Not to mention that your strength is limited, what if others recognize that you are in disguise?"

Ning Yuan blinked and said in distress: "But those ladies only brought their female relatives. If I didn't come in person, others would have no way to do anything."

"You and Shen Yan are both men after all, so it's not easy to investigate among the women."

He chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten my duty?"

"I'll find a few trusted subordinates and find out."

"Yes! Thank you, Brother Pei!" She curled her eyes.

"Do you have any idea about the candidate?"

"Yes--" Ning Yuan waved her hand, motioning him to lean over.

He was much taller than her, and even if Ning Yuan stood on tiptoe, he still had to bend his knees slightly.

Shen Yan finally got rid of those courtiers who wanted to chat with him, and came all the way, but saw the two of them talking and laughing from a distance.

He took a deep breath and quickened his pace. He walked around the green shade and saw the girl lying on Pei Zixing's shoulder very intimately, saying something.

He could only hear her inner voice but not her words.

Her joy at seeing Pei Zixing was obvious. When she put down her hand, her coquettish smile instantly stung his eyes.

As his eyes moved slightly, a nameless jealousy burned in his heart.

He stood under the green shade closest to the two of them, and when he spoke, the slight smile in his eyes returned to calm.

"Zixing, what are you talking about with my maid?"

He emphasized "my family".

He glanced at Ning Yuan, who restrained her smile when she saw him.

At this moment, her red lips curled up slightly, and her soft cheeks bulged slightly, looking as if she was disappointed by him.

He said coldly: "You don't know, she is famous for not smiling in our family."

"Before meeting you, I hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time."
