He had to buy a dress for Little Yu.
Eldest Princess Jing An stood up and said with a trembling voice, “Are you determined not to get engaged?”
“Depends on who the person is.”
“So if it’s not her, you won’t get engaged? If it’s not her, you won’t get married? How do you expect me to face my ancestors?!”
Xie Xingyun was already reborn. In his previous life, he had presided over the situation for the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor and cleared the obstacles for Emperor Wu Xuan. Many times, he had no choice. In this life, he did not want to live like that again.
“Ehm.”
“Huh?” Eldest Princess Jing An was so angry that she laughed. “Alright, alright. I will go and ask my brother to bestow upon you a marriage tomorrow!”
She pulled Lu Xi in front of her and said angrily, “You’ll marry her! Get ready!”
Lu Xi’s heart skipped a beat, followed by uncontrollable excitement. She was about to speak, but Xie Xingyun’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Then 1 can only… disobey the decree.”
“Disobey the decree?” Eldest Princess Jing An said as she stepped back. “Do you know that disobeying the decree is punishable by death!”
Xie Xingyun said indifferently, “So what?”
Bai Xianyu was still listening, but the blanket was too comfortable, and she had exhausted some of her stamina just now. She could not help but close her eyes for a while. When she closed her eyes, she fell asleep directly.
When she was asleep, she felt someone carried her up.
Then, she was put on a layer of soft blanket. She felt that it was very familiar, so she fell into a deeper sleep.
When she woke up, Bai Xianyu was dizzy. She had slept for too long and did not know how many hours had passed. She first looked at her surroundings.
She was in Xie Xingyun’s room.
There was a faint sandalwood scent in his room that smelled very good. Bai Xianyu yawned and lifted the blanket to take a look. She had already changed into her bedclothes.
She blushed and lightly grabbed at the hem of her clothes.
Why did Xie Xingyun disappear? He even brought her to his room?
Bai Xianyu frowned and got off the bed, but her shoes and socks were also wet. After thinking about it, she decided not to wear wet clothes, so she went barefoot to pour herself some water.
There was an exquisite teapot on the table. The design was especially exquisite. She lifted it, but it did not move.
However… a secret compartment slowly appeared beside the desk!
Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment. There were several scrolls placed inside, and one of them was slightly loosened, one could vaguely see a woman’s figure.
Her fair face quickly flushed red as she reached out to take it in disbelief.
Her fingertips were trembling.
Bai Xianyu picked up the painting that was loosened and opened it with her ears red…
The scene on it was very familiar. It was the Supporting Wind Water Pavilion in the Marquis Mansion. The bead curtains around it shielded the sun. On the beauty’s couch, a woman’s waist was slim and full, her long legs were raised, and her eyes were gentle and charming. She was as alluring as a siren.
And she was not alone. She was being carried on a man’s lap.
This was clearly her and Xie Xingyun!
Bai Xianyu let go of her hands in shock, but a warm body pressed against her from behind. He hugged her from behind and caught the painting that fell from her hands.
Xie Xingyun appeared silently. His breath was on her neck. “Did you see it?”
Bai Xianyu’s earlobes were so red that blood could drip from them. Her chest heaved violently. “Xie Xingyun, you bastard!”
She lowered her head and bit his arm viciously.
Xie Xingyun also looked a little embarrassed. “1 didn’t expect you to see it.”
“You actually drew… drew this kind of…” Bai Xianyu could not even finish her sentence. The scene in the painting was still in her mind.
Xie Xingyun could only change the topic. “1 got someone to prepare the bath water. Take a bath first.”
Bai Xianyu’s gaze subconsciously landed on the secret compartment. There were still a few paintings there, but she did not have the courage to open them. Who knew that this man, who looked serious on the surface, was actually a beast in human clothes?
“Alright, don’t be angry.” He nuzzled her neck. “No one else will see it. Xiao Zheng doesn’t know what’s here either.”
Bai Xianyu’s face turned unbelievably red. “You hooligan, bastard!”
Xie Xingyun admitted his mistake. “1’11 burn it soon, okay?”
“What’s the point of you burning it? Is your mind only thinking of such images?”
“…When you’re before me, 1 have zero self-control.” Xie Xingyun leaned closer. Bai Xianyu could feel his abdominal muscles. “We’ve been married for so many years. You’re the only one 1 have. I only have thoughts about you. If you don’t like it, I…”
Bai Xianyu grabbed his hand and stared at him. She wanted to see what he could say.
“I try not to show it in front of you..”
