"Last night, how did you know where I was?"
Shen Qingfeng stared into Lu Yan's eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Lu Yan scratched his head, put on his clothes, and plopped down beside him. He said rather disgruntledly, "I was on my way back to the mansion from the Bian Palace. I intended to look for you, but on the way, I met a man named Mo Yunchen. He told me where you were."
Shen Qingfeng was taken aback. "Mo Yunchen?"
Lu Yan nodded. "Do you know him?"
Shen Qingfeng frowned and lowered his head, thinking for a while. "I guess so."
In his previous life, he had very little contact with Mo Yunchen. They had hardly even spoken. Although Mo Yunchen was from a noble family, he was actually more of a Jianghu person, used to a free and easy life. Why would he bother to interfere in the muddy waters of the court?
However, if he really had to say something about his relationship with Mo Yunchen...
Shen Qingfeng thought for a while, and the image of Mo Yunchen holding Qi Siyu in his arms flashed through his mind.
Could it be because of Qi Siyu?
Lu Yan seemed unhappy. He grabbed Shen Qingfeng's hand and, amidst Shen Qingfeng's exclamation, pulled him into his arms. He pinched Shen Qingfeng's chin and said fiercely, "Tell me, why did that guy named Mo know about your visit to the Prince Cheng's Mansion, but I didn't?"
Shen Qingfeng sighed and explained, "Mo Yunchen is a Jianghu person. He's highly skilled in martial arts and his whereabouts are mysterious. It's not surprising that he has well - informed sources."
After hearing this, Lu Yan pouted and let go of Shen Qingfeng's chin. Then he wrapped his arms around Shen Qingfeng's back and hugged him tightly. He buried his angry face in Shen Qingfeng's chest without saying a word, just rubbing against him.
Seeing Lu Yan like this, Shen Qingfeng smiled helplessly. "What's wrong? I've explained it to you, and you're still not happy?"
Lu Yan buried his face in his arms and refused to look up. In that position, he said in a muffled voice, "You have to tell me where you're going from now on."
Shen Qingfeng smiled and ruffled his hair. He thought Lu Yan looked like a clingy big dog. "Okay."
"Tell me no matter where you go." Lu Yan looked up at him, his dark eyes shining. "Because you're mine now."
Shen Qingfeng blushed and scolded, "Shameless!"
"Not at all." Lu Yan said. He pulled Shen Qingfeng's neck down a bit, leaned in, and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Last night, I've made you completely mine, inside and out."
Shen Qingfeng's face burned with shame. He didn't move, but his heart was as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
Lu Yan grabbed the back of his head and kissed his lips. After a passionate kiss, their lips separated. Lu Yan deliberately let the glistening thread of saliva stretch long. Then he leaned close to Shen Qingfeng's ear and said in a low voice, "Call me husband and let me hear it."
Shen Qingfeng pursed his lips and was reluctant. Lu Yan then started to pinch his chest through his clothes. After a few rubs, Shen Qingfeng's body went limp. He leaned weakly on Lu Yan's shoulder and panted slightly.
"Don't... Lu Yan..." Shen Qingfeng refused. After all, his waist still ached from last night's passion, but there was an inexplicable anticipation rising in his heart.
"If you don't want to call me husband, you can call me master." Lu Yan's voice grew lower. His hoarse and magnetic voice was more aphrodisiac than any drug. Shen Qingfeng let out a soft moan, and his thigh on Lu Yan began to tremble slightly.
"Call me."
"Um... no..." Shen Qingfeng bit his lower lip tightly and reached out to weakly grab Lu Yan's wandering hand. His movements were so gentle that they seemed to be a bit of a feigned refusal.
The temperature in the room seemed to suddenly rise, and even the air became sticky. Their breaths intertwined, warm and full of desire, seemingly about to reach the peak of passion -
"Senior brother! Sister - in - law! It's time for breakfast!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Shen Qingfeng: "..."
Lu Yan's junior brother, the guy he always wanted to cut into a thousand pieces on normal days, was standing at the door with a food box in his hand. There was a provocative smile on his face. He deliberately knocked on the door again. "Hurry up and open the door. The food will get cold soon."
As for why Xu Ruhui did this, come on. The title of his "love expert" had suddenly lost its effectiveness recently. He always failed with the beauties in Xichun Pavilion. Last night, he went to the brothel but still couldn't please the beauty. He came back dejectedly. As soon as he entered his room, there was a commotion at the mansion's gate. When he opened the window, he saw Lu Yan carrying Shen Qingfeng and kicking open the door of the inner room next to his.
Then, he heard the faint gasps through the sound of the wind and snow. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to hide in another courtyard, gritting his teeth for the whole night.
The love - field playboy kept hitting walls, while the eternal bachelor had won the heart of a beauty.
Xu Ruhui just couldn't get it out of his mind. Since he couldn't figure it out, he must cause some trouble. So, he came to "disturb" them early in the morning.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly flung open. Lu Yan's face was gloomy. He glared at Xu Ruhui fiercely. His face might as well have written "I'm going to kill you" on it.
"Where's sister - in - law?" Xu Ruhui pretended not to notice and tried to step inside with the food box.
"Get out!" Lu Yan shouted.
"Hey, why are you so angry?" Xu Ruhui said with a smile. He pulled Lu Yan outside and leaned close to him to whisper, "Did you get her?"
Lu Yan gave him a glare. "It's none of your business!"
"Seems like it went smoothly." Xu Ruhui said. "Look at you. You're glowing."
Lu Yan gritted his teeth. He thought to himself: It's because I'm so pent - up! This Xu Ruhui came at the worst time. Just when I was about to go for it, he showed up, and I had to hold it back!
"Get lost. If you have nothing to do, just leave." Lu Yan snatched the food box from Xu Ruhui's hand. Just as he was about to go inside, he saw Shen Qingfeng dressed neatly and stepping out of the door.
Xu Ruhui was stunned. It was the first time he had observed Shen Qingfeng so closely. No wonder he was the famous Ruwei Young Master of Lige. Up close, he was incredibly beautiful.
Xu Ruhui then looked up at Lu Yan, who was also standing there in a daze.
Such a beautiful person paired with his senior brother wasn't bad. After all, his senior brother was good - looking, a general, and a marquis. Shen Qingfeng was, more or less, a good match.
Everyone liked to look at beautiful people. Thinking that if they got married, he could see the beauty every day, Xu Ruhui was a little happy.
"Qingfeng, where are you going?" Lu Yan took a step forward anxiously and grabbed Shen Qingfeng's hand.
Shen Qingfeng turned his head and saw Xu Ruhui standing beside Lu Yan, smiling at him. He coughed awkwardly, and his face flushed a little.
Seeing Shen Qingfeng's embarrassment, Lu Yan kicked Xu Ruhui on the butt. "Go clean the stables!"
Xu Ruhui: "Ah?"
Lu Yan turned back and glared at him fiercely.
Xu Ruhui shrugged and said knowingly, "Well, okay. The young couple wants to be intimate. I'd better leave quickly as an outsider."
Shen Qingfeng's face turned even redder.
Lu Yan kicked out again, but Xu Ruhui dodged by twisting his body. Then he ran out of the courtyard laughing and even made a face when he left.
Finally, the "annoying" person was gone. Shen Qingfeng coughed lightly. "I'm going back."
Lu Yan was taken aback. He put his arm around Shen Qingfeng's waist. "You... last night. Let me see you off."
Shen Qingfeng shook his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "I can go back by myself. Don't let my father know."
Lu Yan immediately deflated. He lowered his eyes. "Oh..."
"Pfft." Shen Qingfeng suddenly laughed. He pinched Lu Yan's face. "Why do you look like that? We're both in Lige City. We're not going to lose sight of each other."
Lu Yan hugged him in his arms. "I don't want you to go. I want to stay with you all the time."
Shen Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He cupped Lu Yan's face, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips. "Silly."
Lu Yan looked at him. "I'm not silly."
"Yes, yes. You're not silly, Young Marquis Lu." Shen Qingfeng said with a smile, blinking at him. His face turned a little red, and his voice suddenly dropped. "...Tonight, I'll ask the guards in the courtyard to rest early."
Lu Yan was stunned. He didn't even react to the meaning of Shen Qingfeng's words at first, but a sense of happiness welled up in his heart.
"Qingfeng, you..."
"I'm leaving!" Shen Qingfeng was extremely embarrassed. He pushed Lu Yan away and ran off without looking back.
Lu Yan stood there stupidly, looking at Shen Qingfeng's receding back. The warmth of Shen Qingfeng's body still lingered on his fingertips.
Suddenly, the snow stopped. After being overcast for a long time, the sun finally shone through the clouds in Lige City and landed right at Lu Yan's feet.
It was like a sapling that had been waiting for a long time had suddenly grown into a towering tree, blossomed, and borne fruit.
He lowered his head and looked at his fingertips. A warm smile appeared on his lips.
