Just thinking about the scene in the dream, she couldn't help blushing. Her face was flushed as she stole shy smiles!
Just then, Bai Chen appeared behind her. He asked curiously, "What are you smiling about? Don't tell me you had a dirty dream?"
Bai Chen's sudden words made Wan Ruo jump. Slowly, she turned around and saw Bai Chen standing there, naked. What was going on? How did he end up in the same bed as her?
Wan Ruo instinctively looked down at herself. Fortunately, her clothes were still on. In a hurry, she pulled the quilt over her head to block her view.
"Hey, how... how did you get in here?"
Wan Ruo thought Bai Chen had sneaked into her bed while she was sleeping. The thought made her believe he did it on purpose. What a dangerous guy! She thought to herself.
Bai Chen couldn't help but laugh at Wan Ruo's reaction.
"Take a good look. You're the one who climbed into my bed!" Bai Chen said coldly.
Wh... what? Wan Ruo couldn't believe her ears. She opened her eyes wide and slowly lifted the quilt. To her horror, she realized she was indeed in his bed!
She felt extremely embarrassed. Did I sleepwalk last night? And even worse, did I have a dream where I slept with him?
Impossible! I... I would never do such a thing!
Wan Ruo believed Bai Chen's words. She was so ashamed that she didn't even dare to look at him. She quickly got out of bed, eager to leave.
This is so embarrassing! She murmured to herself. Thank goodness he doesn't know what I dreamt about. Otherwise, I'd have no place to hide!
Just then, Bai Chen seemed to read Wan Ruo's mind. He gently reminded her, "Friendly reminder, your foot is still injured. Moving around too much will only make it worse!"
Humph! I'm not falling for your trick! Stubbornly, Wan Ruo got out of bed. Sure enough, after taking just a few steps, a sharp pain shot through her foot!
Her face contorted in pain. She bent down and gently rubbed her ankle.
Seeing this, Bai Chen quickly got up and picked Wan Ruo up in his arms.
At this moment, his bare upper body, strong muscles, and powerful arms were on full display in front of Wan Ruo.
As soon as she was in his arms, Wan Ruo instinctively leaned against Bai Chen's strong chest. Oh my god! I can even hear his heartbeat clearly!
And the pleasant smell on his body! It's so intoxicating!
Wait... that pleasant smell? Suddenly, Wan Ruo seemed to remember something!
"Could the masked person last night be Miss Yue Die?" Wan Ruo stared at Bai Chen with wide eyes, guessing.
Hearing Wan Ruo's words, Bai Chen didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, it just confirmed his own suspicion.
He had long suspected that there was something wrong with Miss Yue Die.
"Those are not the things you should be worrying about now. Just focus on getting better. Leave everything else to me. Be a good girl~" Bai Chen gently placed Wan Ruo back on the bed. He stroked her hair and said tenderly.
"Be a good girl and wait for me here. I'll go out for a while and be back soon!" Bai Chen smiled gently and then turned to leave.
It was already late morning.
In the Prince Pingnan's Mansion, Qin Manman was taking care of Wei Qingshan by her bedside as usual. However, she always had a strange feeling that Wei Qingshan seemed different from before.
She felt that Qingshan was deliberately making things difficult for her. She spilled the hot medicine on her hand and then pretended to be innocent, saying it was an accident. But in front of the Prince, she was a completely different person.
Si Hongxi had just returned from the morning court and came to visit Wei Qingshan. Just as Qin Manman was about to enter the room with the medicine in her hand, she heard their conversation and stopped in her tracks.
"Thank you, Prince, for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you. If the Prince doesn't mind, I'd like to..." Wei Qingshan hesitated.
What did she want to say? Offer herself in marriage? Humph! What's your current status? Do you still think you're the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"Miss Qingshan, you're being too polite! It was just a small thing. You can stay in my mansion with peace of mind. Don't think too much about it!" Si Hongxi comforted her.
What? He's already invited this girl to stay in the mansion? Then what about me? What am I to him?
Wei Qingshan reached out and returned Si Hongxi's handkerchief. When Si Hongxi took it, she deliberately showed a pained expression, as if she was not feeling well. Seeing this, Si Hongxi quickly stepped forward and supported her shoulder, asking, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Taking this opportunity, she tilted her head and kissed Si Hongxi on the lips, making it seem like an accidental touch.
Hearing Si Hongxi's words, Qin Manman was already heartbroken. Seeing the two of them kiss made her even angrier. Without hesitation, she turned around and left.
It seemed that Wei Qingshan had known Qin Manman was outside the door all along and had done this on purpose.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Si Hongxi looked at Wei Qingshan and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Qingshan. I still have some things to attend to. I'll come and see you later!"
Then he turned around and left.
The moment Si Hongxi stepped out of the door, Wei Qingshan's smile gradually faded, and her face turned cold. It was quite terrifying!
At this moment, Si Hongxi was still worried about Wan Ruo. He decided to go to Shananfang to check on her!
On his way to Shananfang, he happened to see Bai Chen going into the Xunfang Pavilion!
This guy! I wonder if he even knows that Ruo Ruo is planning to leave. And here he is, still in the mood to visit a brothel!
Si Hongxi frowned and followed Bai Chen closely into the Xunfang Pavilion.
Bai Chen went straight to find Liu Yuedie. However, the madam of the brothel tried her best to stop him, saying, "Young Master Bai, Miss Yuedie is not feeling well today and is not suitable to receive guests!"
But instead of listening to her advice, Bai Chen became even more determined to see Liu Yuedie.
Seeing Bai Chen so eager to see Liu Yuedie, Si Hongxi thought he had some physical needs. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
How could this guy be so unfaithful to Wan Ruo? I really want to go up and punch him! I'll wait and see. If he does something wrong, I won't let him off!
Ignoring the madam's obstruction, Bai Chen rushed straight into Liu Yuedie's room. The madam was helpless. Although she had some thugs around, she didn't dare to let them stop him!
Seeing Bai Chen burst in, Liu Yuedie calmly put on her outer robe. She gently comforted the madam, saying, "It's okay. You can all leave first!"
Seeing that Yuedie could handle this situation, the madam quickly responded and led her people out. She closed the door tightly and dispersed the onlookers.
"Young Master Bai, is there something you need from me today?" Liu Yuedie calmly poured a cup of tea and asked.
Meanwhile, Si Hongxi took advantage of the chaos and secretly made a small hole in the door. He was peeping at what was going on inside!
If this guy does anything to betray Ruo Ruo, I'll rush in and beat him to death!
"Take off your clothes!" Bai Chen said directly and coldly.
What? Liu Yuedie froze with the teacup in her hand.
Not only Liu Yuedie, but even Si Hongxi outside was stunned. This guy is really... too straightforward!
A faint smile played on her lips. She said teasingly, "Although I admire you, Young Master Bai, you know that I, Yuedie, only sell my art, not my body. This is an unwritten rule in the Xunfang Pavilion! ... Humph, I didn't expect that you're just like those other men out there, already coveting my body. And you're in such a hurry?"
Liu Yuedie tried to use reverse psychology to shame Bai Chen into backing off. But Bai Chen was no fool. How could he not see through her trick?
"I told you to take off your clothes! Do you want me to do it for you?" Bai Chen slapped his folding fan in his hand and coldly repeated his command.
There was still a scar on her shoulder from last night. She mustn't let him find out! Dammit!
The atmosphere in the room was getting tense. Just as Liu Yuedie was about to fight back, Si Hongxi suddenly interrupted from outside, and she had to hold back.
