Chapter 299: Chapter 299: What’s there to fear? We’re not having an affair...

Mu Yan woke up in the middle of the night, not because he wanted to, but because Zhan Lan’s leg was wrapped around his waist, and her whole body clung to him like an octopus.

His face blushing and ears burning, each breath was a test of his self-control, and while dreaming, Zhan Lan even rubbed her cheek against his chest a few times.

Mu Yan felt like he was going to go crazy.

But it was all his own scheming and seduction, a bed of his own making, so he had no choice but to endure it.

Mu Yan looked at her fair little leg exposed outside, and helped to cover her with the blanket.

Zhan Lan kicked it off with one foot, even letting out an unsatisfied grunt.

Mu Yan’s neck broke out in a fine sweat; he was truly burning up from the inside out.

Zhan Lan’s cheeks were tinged with pink, sleeping soundly.

Mu Yan smiled affectionately; if Lan’er hung onto him like this every night in the future, he might not be able to let Lan’er sleep at all. freёweɓnovel.com

His Lan’er was also amusing. When he really wanted something to happen with her, she was like a frightened little rabbit, trembling at the slightest movement.

Yet in her sleep, she was like a female demon, not afraid to touch anywhere.

Poor him, repressing and enduring, not willing to wake her up, but also longing to be clung to by her, he could only tough it out waiting for dawn.

...

Xiao Tao couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and turned to Liu Xi, "Sister Liu Xi, the young lady’s clothes haven’t been washed yet, why won’t you let me go in?"

Liu Xi’s face turned red in an instant; hearing the sound of something dropping on the ground, she knocked on the door and went upstairs to see the Regent King carrying their young lady to the bed.

She hastily fled, blocking Xiao Tao from going upstairs. Although she was an unmarried girl, she knew that her master might be doing something.

To disturb them at such a time would be insensitive.

But she could be sure that her young lady had not yet consummated the marriage with the Regent King. After all, every time she helped the young lady bathe, she could see that the virginity mark was still there.

Liu Xi said with flushed cheeks, "In the future, when you enter the young lady’s room, you must knock first, especially after the young lady gets married, you understand?"

Xiao Tao suddenly realized and said with wide eyes, "Is the Regent King being intimate with the young lady?"

Liu Xi gave her a look, "Don’t talk nonsense, as servants, we must not speculate on what the master does, let alone talk recklessly."

Xiao Tao closed her mouth but said with a grin, "The Prince is so handsome, and the young lady is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal; just thinking about it is like a romantic tale from a storybook."

"You’ve read quite a few storybooks, haven’t you!" Liu Xi said with a laugh.

Xiao Tao couldn’t stop smiling, "Every time I read storybooks, I think of the young lady and the Prince’s stunning beauty. Some people used to say that our young lady fancied King Wei, but his face compared to the Regent King’s, how can that compare, humph, I don’t know who started that rumor. I bet it was King Wei himself, shameless!"

Liu Xi laughed helplessly, "Keep your voice down, be careful someone hears you."

Xiao Tao covered her mouth, giggling. She looked forward every day to seeing the Regent King dote on their young lady, eager to see them marry and have children!

Zhan Lan was woken up early in the morning by the noise downstairs; when she opened her eyes, she felt a warmth over her body, Mu Yan’s clothes were hanging disheveled on him, his chest wide open, as if torn by someone.

Zhan Lan saw her leg pressed against Mu Yan’s waist, her hand on his abs, and her lips had just been buried at his Adam’s apple, and suddenly, her face gradually flushed with redness.

Mu Yan opened his eyes and looked down at her, "Awake?"

Zhan Lan sat up in a flurry, and then suddenly, Qin Shuang’s voice came, "It’s my own daughter’s room, no worries, let her be messy. I’ll help Lan’er tidy up!"

"Lady, Madame is here!" Liu Xi and Xiao Tao couldn’t stop her, as Qin Shuang had already walked upstairs.

Zhan Lan and Zhan Xuerou left the General Mansion, feeling uneasy in her heart, she suddenly became worried about Zhan Xuerou, who had been driven out of her home. After all, having raised her for eighteen years, she calmed down and felt that Zhan Xuerou hadn’t done anything wrong, only she didn’t understand why Lan’er disliked Rou’er so much that she had to drive her away.

Zhan Beicang was also very puzzled. They both recalled the time that had gone by raising Zhan Xuerou, ultimately they couldn’t bear it, and ordered people to search everywhere for Zhan Xuerou, fearing she would end up wandering the streets.

Human nature is complex, with both of them entangled and conflicted, they couldn’t fully let go of Zhan Xuerou.

On the other hand, Qin Shuang, sleepless thinking about her own biological daughter, came to see her early in the morning.

Mu Yan and Zhan Lan woke up to the noise simultaneously, and Zhan Lan quickly jumped out of the bed. She and Mu Yan were only engaged, not yet truly husband and wife.

If her mother saw the two of them sleeping in the same bed, it would be over, completely over.

"Quickly, go!" Zhan Lan pulled Mu Yan out of bed.

Mu Yan tried to sit up but found his legs completely numb, taking a while to even think of getting out of bed.

"My legs are numb." Mu Yan explained.

Feeling awkward, Zhan Lan thought it might because she had been on top of him, so she covered Mu Yan’s head with the quilt and swiftly drew the curtains closed.

"Lan’er, are you up?" Qin Shuang had just walked into the room when she smelled alcohol.

She looked at Zhan Lan’s flushed cheeks and then at the wine pot on the floor, grasping Zhan Lan’s hand worriedly and said, "Lan’er, you’ve drunk so much? The table’s items are all over the floor, have you just woken up with a hangover? Mother knows you’ve been upset with recent events, but you must take care of your body..."

Zhan Lan glanced at the table; last night, everything was made a mess by Mu Yan in his frenzy.

Mu Yan lay under the quilt with a smile spreading across his face, what a beautiful misunderstanding.

Qin Shuang touched Zhan Lan’s cheek and said, "Lan’er, your face is so hot, mother will make you some hangover soup in a while."

Zhan Lan wanted to say it was not necessary, she hadn’t drunk any alcohol, she was just too tired and slept for a long time.

But Qin Shuang wouldn’t listen to her at all, and started picking up the items off the floor one by one.

She arranged the wine pot and then glanced towards the bed behind the curtains, saying, "You smell of alcohol; just right, mother will help you wash the quilt. All these years, I’ve never helped you change your bedding."

Zhan Lan quickly blocked the bedside and pleaded, "Mother, no need, I always change it myself."

Tears welled up in Qin Shuang’s eyes, "Lan’er, mother has been thinking about you all night, I couldn’t fall asleep, you have your birth mother to love you, you don’t need to rely on yourself for everything."

Seeing Qin Shuang’s sentimental expression made Zhan Lan feel distressed as well, but with Mu Yan lying disheveled on her bed, to say they were innocent would be unbelievable to anyone.

If Qin Shuang lifted the quilt and saw Mu Yan, she’d probably strike him.

Zhan Lan hugged Qin Shuang tightly, coquettishly saying, "Mother, I want to drink your hangover soup, also want to eat noodles, and osmanthus cake, too."

Qin Shuang wiped her tears and laughed, patting Zhan Lan’s hand, "Alright, mother will make it right now."

Finally, Qin Shuang went downstairs.

Zhan Lan lifted the curtains to see Mu Yan removing the quilt, giving her an ambiguous look, and he struggled to get out of bed with difficulty.

Fearing that Qin Shuang might return, Zhan Lan was terribly frightened, urging, "Quickly, leave."

Mu Yan stood up and whispered, "Afraid of what? It’s not like we’re having an affair."

Zhan Lan pushed his back to the window, "If my mom sees you, we’re dead!"

Mu Yan said with a roguish smile, "I made a mess of your room, my apologies."

Zhan Lan glanced back while pushing him and said, "That’s not important, just go!"
