　　Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian. Originally he planned to head to You Nian Pavilion but observing the girl’s wet clothes and already pale lips, Feng Yi Xuan directly took Lan You Nian to Ming wangfu. Because he was using qinggong to enter Ming wangfu, only An Yi and others were aware.

　　Lan Ren followed Lan You Nian and enter the imperial palace but could not enter Kunning Palace. In fact, an ordinary shadow guard couldn’t even enter the imperial palace itself. Lan Ren could only wait outside Kunning Palace for his family’s young miss. However, he didn’t expect for Ming wang to hastily come out holding young miss whose current condition he can’t discern. Lan Ren followed in hot pursuit, but his martial arts compare to Feng Yi Xuan’s. Naturally, he fell behind a great distance. Just when Lan Ren’s anxiety has reached its extreme, he glimpsed young miss making a hand gesture while being held by Feng Yi Xuan. That gesture meant she was okay. Lan Ren’s heart finally calmed.

　　When Feng Yi Xuan entered Ming wangfu, Lan Ren was intercepted. An Yi and the others knew Lan Ren was Lan You Nian’s shadow guard, so did not make things difficult.

　　“Where are you taking me?” Lan You Nian revealed a small head from within Feng Yi Xuan’s arms, noting this was not Lan manor but was Ming wangfu, she asked baffled.

　　Feng Yi Xuan’s thin lips were pursed tightly similar to a temperamental child. He didn’t answer Lan You Nian like he usually did, nor did he devote his attention to Lan You Nian like usual. Without a word, he carried Lan You Nian into his own room.

　　Lan You Nian didn’t get to study this luxurious yet simple room in more detail before she was thrown onto the bed by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan’s bed wasn’t soft, so Lan You Nian felt pain from the toss. Raising her head ready to say something but marking Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes that were like a wolf filled with anger, Lan You Nian’s intuition knew this wasn’t good so got ready to sit up and leave.

　　But would Feng Yi Xuan give her this chance? Of course not! When Lan You Nian was ready to get up, Feng Yi Xuan moved. He directly picked up Lan You Nian, turned her over so her back was facing him while her stomach was pressed against Feng Yi Xuan’s long, muscular thigh. Lan You Nian felt this position was not proper. She anxiously circulated her inner force to break free, but her internal force was actually suppressed by the internal energy of Feng Yi Xuan. With her internal force subdued, Lan You Nian’s current body being restrained was unable to escape. The difference between male and female’s strength made Lan You Nian unable to move.

　　“Feng Yi Xuan, what do you want to do!” For the first time, Lan You Nian felt flustered and angry. Such a Feng Yi Xuan made her a little scared. Currently, she was facing the bed, so she can’t see Feng Yi Xuan’s facial expression, nor did she hear Feng Yi Xuan’s response.

　　Feng Yi Xuan threw away the soaked cloak on Lan You Nian’s body, then raising his broad palm, flattened it on Lan You Nian’s butt.

　　~Slap~!

　　Feng Yi Xuan’s palm smacked Lan You Nian’s bottom as if hitting a child. He was furious. Looking at the girl’s wet and pitiful appearance, he felt heartache. Carrying Nian Nian back, feeling the coolness of Nian Nian’s body, he felt pained. He knew Nian Nian’s body wasn’t well already, yet this girl deliberately wrecked her body, how can he not be angry? However, he couldn’t treat her harshly like he treated others, so before Feng Yi Xuan even realized what he was doing, he spanked Lan You Nian’s bottom.

　　The pain and sound from her buttocks made Lan You Nian’s whole body stiffen. She had never been spanked before, not when she was little or after she grew up. She has suffered various injuries, but no one had ever dared to spank her like a child. Lan You Nian didn’t know what she should do. Whether it was the pain in her butt that made Lan You Nian vexed or the loss of face, at this moment, Lan You Nian felt a rage she’s never felt before.

　　Feng Yi Xuan, after hitting Lan You Nian, was also stunned. Although he didn’t use any force behind the hit, looking at Lan You Nian, seemingly weightless, sprawled on his, he panicked.

　　Lan You Nian took advantage of when Feng Yi Xuan was inattentive, suddenly rolled over, took out her personal dagger and plunged it towards Feng Yi Xuan’s chest. If this knife really plunged into Feng Yi Xuan’s chest even if Feng Yi Xuan doesn’t die, he will be severely injured. Feng Yi Xuan had the opportunity to block it, but he didn’t. He knew his actions made Lan You Nian angry, so if it can deflate Lan You Nian’s anger, she can do whatever she liked to him.

　　When Lan You Nian’s dagger was about to plunge into Feng Yi Xuan’s chest, Lan You Nian realized this man did not dodge or evade. Lan You Nian lifted her eyes, peering at Feng Yi Xuan. It was just one look that made Lan You Nian’s dagger unable to advance any further.

　　Because when Lan you Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan, there was not a trace of panic on Feng Yi Xuan’s face. Instead, there was a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness, a faint smile like the rain and snow that has finally melted with the sun breaking through the thick clouds opening up the sky scattering unimaginable warmth.

　　Perhaps because of Feng Yi Xuan’s smile or perhaps because Lan You Nian was greedy for this warmth, Lan You Nian put away the dagger in her hand, and murmured, “Why?” Why hit me? Why didn’t you dodge? Why can you still smile knowing you will get hurt?

　　Although Lan You Nian only said one word, Feng Yi Xuan understood what Lan You Nian wanted to say. Seemingly a man with very few words yet at this moment with an out of the ordinary warm attitude, he answered to the girl sitting on his thigh, “You wrecking your own body makes me angry, but I did hit you. So if you makes you feel better, do whatever you want, even if it is killing me!”

　　Staring into Feng Yi Xuan’s earnest and scorching eyes, hearing those words that did not contain the slightest pretense, just moments ago, Lan You Nian was angered to the point she wanted to kill someone, but now the anger has subsided. Closing her eyes, Lan You Nian lowered her head, avoiding those pair of bewitching eyes. Only then did she realize their intimate sitting position. She was sitting on Feng Yi Xuan’s thigh; the two’s clothes were all soaked, but they could feel each other’s warmth.

　　Lan You Nian struggled to get onto the floor, but Feng Yi Xuan directly brought Lan You Nian to the bed. Pulling out a large silk blanket, he wrapped Lan You Nian up in the blanket only revealing a small head. Because the face was covered by a veil, Feng Yi Xuan can only see those pair of pure and clear eyes.

　　“Wait a moment!” Feng Yi Xuan left the room to give An Yi who stood outside the door some orders. Within moments, An Yi and An Er carried buckets of warm water into the room. The two’s eyes darted around wanting to take a peek at Lan You Nian who sat on the bed but did not have the guts so, in the end, they gloomily left.

　　Feng Yi Xuan added the buckets of water into the tub behind the folding screen. Usually, when he takes a bath, he won’t do this work, but now for the girl in his heart, he did it naturally without any trace of being unaccustomed.

　　Picking up Lan You Nian, blankets and all, and entered behind the folding screen, he gently placed Lan You Nian down. Lan You Nian scanned the tub and instantly knew what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do. Seeing her clothes were soaked through, he must want her to take a warm bath. This man was so considerate.

　　Feng Yi Xuan after putting Lan You Nian down opened a wardrobe in the room. Lan You Nian only saw that half of the wardrobe was filled with mainly dark-colored men’s robes, while the other half was all women’s white dresses of all kinds of workmanship and texture. Lan You Nian was stunned. She didn’t think Ming wang who was known to be not into women, his room actually contained women’s clothes. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but it was overlooked by Lan You Nian.

　　Feng Yi Xuan took out a simple white dress and draped it on the soft couch by the tub. Lan You Nian spied the edges of the dress were embroidered with red spider lily like every one of her clothes. Lan You Nian glanced at Feng Yi Xuan baffled.

　　“Uh…” Feng Yi Xuan said with red ears, “These are all prepared for you, but they can’t glow at night like your clothes!” Speaking of this, Feng Yi Xuan was dispirited. Although he had many businesses under him, many embroideresses were able to embroider the spider lily but couldn’t make the flower glow at night. For this reason, Feng Yi Xuan even killed a few embroideresses who wanted to leak out the designs of this flower.

　　Lan you Nian’s heart warmed. She didn’t expect that all these women’s dresses were all prepared for her. Not only that, Feng Yi Xuan even found people to embroider her favorite spider lily onto them. However, Lan You Nian still was still suspicious, “Why prepare my clothes?”

　　“Last time I went to You Nian Pavilion to get clothes, after coming back I had it prepared,” Feng Yi Xuan honestly explained, but didn’t answer Lan You Nian’s question. He just wanted to let his barren room have Nian Nian’s shadow. Besides, he always believed that he will marry Nian Nian into the manor in the future, so…

　　Lan You Nian remained silent, but the meaning was obvious; she was insisting on Feng Yi Xuan answering her question. Although she was moved by Feng Yi Xuan’s considerate preparation, this somewhat baffling preparation of a woman’s clothes, no matter how you thought of it, it was wrong.

　　“Uh…afraid next time you won’t have clothes, so had it prepared!” Feng Yi Xuan admitted embarrassed. He was really afraid Lan You Nian will be the same as last time that if she needed to change clothes, he still needed to go to You Nian Pavilion to get it. It was better instead to make some and have it at his own place.

　　Lan You Nian nodded, didn’t pursue the topic further, “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”

　　Feng Yi Xuan suddenly remembered Nian Nian was going to take a bath, but he was still standing here. Instantly his face reddened. He quickly left the room. Just like this, wearing thoroughly drenched clothes, he stood outside the door calming his restless thoughts.

　　Lan You Nian peeled off the drenched clothes, removed the veil and immersed herself in the warm water of the tub to dispel the cold from her body. Thinking about all the things that happened today, the clearest thing in her mind was Feng Yi Xuan. She remembered his anxiety and tenderness; Feng Yi Xuan occupied a lot of the space in her mind.

　　“Master, we will stand guard here. You can go change clothes!” An Yi said. In fact, an average person was not able to enter Ming wangfu. Miss Lan was only taking a bath, yet master actually stood guard like this. In the past, master’s mysophobia was very serious. Usually, once the clothes were worn, they will be burnt, yet now wearing drenched garments, there was no trace of displeasure. It was indeed a miracle.

　　Lan You Nian hurriedly took a bath and changed clothes. After putting on the exquisite silk dress, Lan You Nian noticed the size of the clothing fit her perfectly just like the clothes in her own closet.

　　When Lan You Nian finished bathing and opened the door, she saw Feng Yi Xuan still wearing the wet clothes standing there. Seeing her come out, he asked with concern, “Is there any discomfort?” Then to An Yi, he ordered, “Go let the kitchen make a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold!”

　　Lan You Nian frowned, “Why didn’t you change clothes? You should go take a bath!”

　　Feng Yi Xuan nodded, very happy about Lan You Nian’s concern then directly entered the room. Lan You Nian followed behind. Then Lan You Nian realized Feng Yi Xuan went straight behind the folding screen and began to undress. Lan You Nian quickly withdrew her gaze and lowed her head, but what shocked her was that she actually heard the sound of Feng Yi Xuan bathing. The critical point was that he was using the water she used to bathe with ah!

　　Feng Yi Xuan bathed quickly. Lan You Nian’s face swelled with redness ready to say something, but Feng Yi Xuan already got dressed. Those eyes, sharp as a knife but passionate like water, that nose, sharp like a razor, that corner of the mouth, slightly curled like the moon, but also like fire. No matter how good Feng Yi Xuan’s looks were, they cannot make Lan You Nian absentminded, because this man actually used the water she took a bath in for his own bath. Is there anything more horrifying than this?

　　“You…” Lan You Nian stretched out her slender finger pointed at Feng Yi Xuan, “How can you use that water? I used that water for my bath!”

　　“I don’t mind!” Feng Yi Xuan’s thin lips slightly curled upwards. He didn’t know why, evidently, he had severe mysophobia, but he directly used Nian Nian’s bath water to wash. He didn’t feel a bit disgusted instead felt rather happy because the water possessed the sweet fragrance of Nian Nian’s body.

　　“I mind!” Lan You Nian felt her own good temper was useless against Feng Yi Xuan. This Feng Yi Xuan was her own bane!

　　“But I already washed!” Feng Yi Xuan was acting shamelessly like a child with Lan You Nian, but his appearance of all too serious shamelessness made Lan You Nian unable to get angry.
