Qian Youxue wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like someone had been following her ever since she left Ya Garden. However, when she turned around, she couldn't see anyone.
Strange, could it be an illusion caused by being too tired?
Too many things happened today; she needs to rest well. We can talk about other things later.
Exhausted, she returned to the Snow Garden, only to find her own room occupied by a certain devil, leaving her to rest in the room next door.
When Yunhe and Mei'er saw their master return, one of them served him at his side, while the other had the servants bring hot water for their master to wash up.
Qian Youxue was lost in thought and fell asleep in the bathtub. Yunhe knew her mistress was tired, so she and Mei'er didn't wake her. After bathing, they carried her to bed to rest.
This trip took two or three hours. When she woke up, it was already midnight. When she opened her eyes and found only Mei'er, she roughly knew where Yunhe had gone, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Master, you're finally awake. Leng Yu has come to check on you several times, saying that you should go see the Prince now that you're awake, as the Prince has something to discuss with you." Mei'er said as she eagerly helped her master put on his shoes.
Qian Youxue didn't say anything. Who knows what that guy was up to in the middle of the night?
However, since they were guests, she still had to go.
Mei'er poured water for him to wash his face, and after tidying his clothes a bit, he went to Xuan Mingye's place.
Xuan Mingye continued reading, like a man waiting for his wife to return, unhurried, as if he knew she would come back. Hearing the voice, he didn't look up, but said gently, "Are you feeling better after resting for a while? Mei'er, go get your master some late-night snacks."
Well……
Mei'er was taken aback. Could it be that the old lady's scheme had been seen through by the prince?
She felt a little flustered, but tried her best to control her emotions and raised her head: "This servant will go right away, mistress, please sit for a while."
Qian Youxue didn't find it strange. After all, this was the Qian residence, and Xuan Mingye was a guest. It wouldn't be right to send her people to the kitchen.
Sensing Qian Youxue sitting down beside him, Xuan Mingye finally looked up, poured her a cup of tea, and then buried himself in the book in his hands.
What book is so good?
Qian Youxue glanced at it curiously. It was a yellowed notebook containing some strange array formations.
Seeing Qian Youxue's interest, Xuan Mingye pulled her into his arms and then continued reading his book as if nothing had happened.
At first, Qian Youxue refused, but after reading the contents, she became engrossed and, without struggling, nestled in his arms, staring at the contents.
As Xuan Mingye smelled her scent, his blood began to boil. She was like a fairy, and getting close to her could ignite the desire within him at any moment.
This woman is absolutely terrifying.
Before long, his forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. He slowly turned a page, breathing in the scent emanating from her, and really wanted to bite her neck hard.
But he didn't. The long night had only just begun. If he scared people away, how would he endure the rest of the night?
"Where did you get this book? It's so interesting!" Qian Youxue was so engrossed in the book's contents that she completely ignored the other person's discomfort.
Xuan Mingye swallowed hard, his voice slightly hoarse: "I don't care if I get too bored, so I always bring back some interesting books whenever I go out."
"It's truly inconsiderate not to return such a thoughtful gift. I wonder which lucky girl will be born with it." Qian Youxue said casually, and then heard the voice behind her turn colder.
"What, you've fallen for him?" Xuan Mingye deliberately brought his mouth close to her ear.
Feeling the cold breath on her ear, she suddenly realized something and tried to escape from his embrace, but he held her tightly in his arms.
When Mei returned and saw the distance between the two, she hesitated to go any further and whispered to Leng Xue at the door, "Should we see them off or not?"
Leng Xue glanced inside with a troubled expression. It was a rare moment of harmony, and he really shouldn't disturb the two masters. Just as he was about to say "wait a moment," the master inside spoke up.
"Bring the things up, you can all go and rest!" Xuan Mingye's deep voice rang out.
Qian Youxue then realized that she was too close to someone, so she quickly got out of his arms, sat on the chair next to him, and lowered her head with a flushed face.
call……
Mei let out a sigh of relief. The old lady said that the medicine was more effective when served in hot soup.
So, after trying to calm herself down, she carried the sweet soup and some pastries into the house. After putting the things down, she deliberately instructed, "This is bird's nest that the old lady asked the kitchen to stew for the prince and master. The old lady specifically instructed that the two of you eat it while it's hot."
When Qian Youxue heard that her grandmother was still awake so late and was still thinking about her, she felt even more guilty and picked up her bowl to eat the bird's nest first.
Xuan Mingye's lips curled up slightly, but because the book obscured the lower half of his face, they naturally couldn't see the wicked smile that appeared on his lips.
He put down the book and said calmly, "Since it is the old lady's kind intention, how can I refuse?"
Seeing that the prince had also started drinking the bird's nest soup, Mei'er's smile widened. She bowed to the two of them, obediently withdrew, and closed the door.
Leng Xue kept staring at the situation in the room, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Seeing Mei'er's relieved expression, a sudden realization dawned on him, and he seemed to have figured it out.
Just now, Miss Mei said that this was the old lady's intention. In that case, even if something happened, it wouldn't concern them. Thinking this way, he consciously kept a certain distance from the house.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. Although Xuan Mingye was quite clear-headed, he could still sense the potency of the medicine. Even someone with his profound skill could not withstand it, let alone the woman before him.
He didn't want to take advantage of her; he just wanted to fulfill the old woman's good intentions. So, seeing that she was so hot that she took off her clothes, he readily moved closer.
It's hot, so hot! How can it be so hot?
It shouldn't be this hot today.
Qian Youxue shook her head groggily, and a volcano appeared before her eyes. She was alone in the volcano, so she began to tear at her clothes.
However, Xuan Mingye in front of her turned into a tree with fruit hanging on it. The fruit was red and plump, and without thinking, she pounced on it and took a bite.
Xuan Mingye hadn't expected this woman to be so unrestrained, and he pounced on her, biting her lips. However, she seemed to be using too much force, and a salty, fishy taste immediately came out. He, who had initially wanted to restrain himself, immediately pushed her down onto the bed.
