"I know, of course."
Xie Jiang suddenly frowned and raised her hand to cover his eyes.
She wasn't interested in discerning the emotions in his eyes, but being stared at by him made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
With his vision gone, Yi Yan Geng's other senses became exceptionally sensitive.
Warm breath brushed past his cheeks, grazed his ears, like a mischievous sprite, and then burrowed into his collar...
His breathing suddenly became heavy.
Xie Jiang was startled.
Why was he suddenly panting?
And it sounded rather pleasant.
Xie Jiang blinked strangely. This man, putting on such a serious act, was he initiating something himself?
Regardless, since it had come to this, why let go?
Xie Jiang suddenly lowered her head, covering his mouth.
It tasted so good, this damned man!
She suddenly felt an impulse to take him directly.
If that was the case, why should she deny herself? After all, they were destined to become enemies in the future, so why worry about him clinging to her?
With no responsibility to bear, what was there to hesitate about? It was rare for her to be in the mood.
Sensing her next move, Yi Yan Geng was so shocked that he rolled over and pushed her onto the bed, then hastily jumped off.
Xie Jiang, her mood ruined, glared furiously!
Yi Yan Geng was panting rather heavily. "You, your complexion isn't very good. You need to rest well."
Who the hell wouldn't have a good complexion when they were unsatisfied?! "Don't I know if I need to rest or not?!"
Yi Yan Geng quickly put on his outer garment. He had intended to leave altogether, fearing he wouldn't be able to resist in the end.
But he couldn't bear to let go of this hard-won time, time he thought he had lost forever...
Yi Yan Geng lit a lamp, and the room was filled with a warm yellow glow.
She lay on the bed, still angry.
Yi Yan Geng felt utterly helpless.
She was still so unrestrained and bold, doing as she pleased.
"I... you just fed me medicine. I need to rest," Yi Yan Geng said, covering his mouth with his fist and coughing lightly while lowering his head to hide his flushed face.
It was only when she transferred the pill to him that he realized she had only intended to give him medicine.
That was why she had said she knew what she was doing, and he had misunderstood.
But...
What about what happened next?
Did she really know what she was doing?
Xie Jiang's wicked thoughts persisted. "I'll do the work. You just lie there."
Steward Zhang quickly returned, afraid his master would suffer a terrible fate. However, as soon as he reached the doorway, he overheard such explosive words.
Steward Zhang was simply...
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Yi Yan Geng felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He cleared his throat and called Steward Zhang in.
Xie Jiang looked at Steward Zhang with extreme displeasure, her cold gaze sweeping over his old legs.
Steward Zhang felt as if she wanted to chop off his legs, thinking she was annoyed that he had returned too quickly and interrupted her good time.
Steward Zhang's legs couldn't be lifted for a long time. His hazy old eyes quickly scanned the room, and he saw that his master was wrapped up very tightly.
However, the disarray was enough to indicate the terrifying fact that he had almost been "destroyed by a ruthless hand."
His master hadn't yielded to the "Tyrant Xie," which explained Xie Jiang's murderous expression.
Steward Zhang finally felt a little relieved, then put on a fawning expression.
"Seeing that the kitchen had soup simmering, I asked Master Ruan to make a bowl of noodles. Eating something soupy at night is also good for digestion."
Steward Zhang, bracing himself, stumbled into the room, placed the food box on the table, and took out a large bowl of shredded chicken noodles.
Xie Jiang wouldn't mistreat her stomach. She had been eating very sparingly at the Duke of Wei's mansion for the past two days, and the cook at Yi Yan Geng's place was quite good.
She shot Yi Yan Geng a fierce glance before sitting down by the table. This man, who outwardly seemed to give her whatever she wanted, would probably take a lot of effort to get his hands on.
However, with her boiling blood cooled down, she wasn't in a hurry anymore. Playing slowly would be more interesting.
As Xie Jiang ate, she glanced at Yi Yan Geng again.
Yi Yan Geng, sitting opposite her, stiffened, feeling as if he were naked in her eyes.
Steward Zhang wished he could poke her eyes out. Good heavens, what a vulgar gaze!
"The Duke of Wei's mansion..."
He didn't know why she had gone to the Duke of Wei's mansion, but it was certainly not just to treat Madam Xu.
He had only instructed people to monitor her movements after she entered the capital and hadn't delved too deeply into her visit to the Duke of Wei's mansion. Her affairs were not something he could interfere with.
"If there's anything you need help with, just ask." Although he knew she probably wouldn't ask him.
But he also wanted her to know that he was willing to do anything for her.
"Mm," Xie Jiang replied perfunctorily.
"If you don't like the food at the Duke of Wei's mansion, you can come here anytime."
As long as she was willing, wherever he was, the door would always be open for her.
"Mm."
Xie Jiang put down her chopsticks after eating half a bowl.
Yi Yan Geng prepared to go to the study.
"Wait a moment."
