Ling Yuxuan was momentarily stunned, and a hint of a smile immediately appeared on his face.
This was the first time his beloved girl had so actively climbed onto him.
After a brief moment of shock, he tightly embraced her with both hands, then rolled over and pressed her down beneath him.
He indulged in the sweet and fragrant taste of her lips.
Next, the two completely emptied their minds. They thought of nothing, cared for nothing, allowing everything to fade away!
They became lost in each other, intoxicated and entwined together.
What happened next? Well! Kisses were exchanged, touches were shared, but at the most critical moment, a certain male god with extraordinary self-control hit the brakes at the last second.
He would rather burn with desire than cross the final line for his beloved girl.
After a reckless descent into passion, both of them lay down, breathing heavily, feeling both excited and somewhat exhausted.
Once their tempers cooled down and they fully regained their senses, they turned to look at each other. Ziyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ling Yuxuan calmly smiled at her with deep affection as he took hold of Beloved Child's little hand again and pulled her closer.
Ziyan nestled back into his embrace. "Silly girl, just wait for Future Husband for two more years, at most two years. I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you long ago. I want to openly celebrate our wedding night with the blessings of many people. I want my most beloved woman to be happy every day—"
At this point, Ling Yuxuan actually bit his lower lip and gave Ziyan a seductive wink that was so alluring it couldn't be described in words.
In the next second, Ziyan felt an urge to angrily sit back on him—not in a way of offering herself willingly, but rather wanting to give that Demonically Charming Man a good beating.
Damn it! The inexplicable fire that had just settled deep within her soul was once again ignited by him.
Monster Oh Monster! Helplessly, Ziyan simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at him, not daring to gaze at him any longer.
This Demonically Charming Man is just too good at teasing people.
After all, she is still a pure maiden; if those flirtatious women who spend their days in romantic pursuits were here, they would have already started drooling and bleeding from their noses.
With her eyes tightly shut, Ziyan couldn't help but complain.
Looking at the obviously shy and uneasy little person in her arms, Ling Yuxuan secretly chuckled: Little one, you make me feel unbearably tormented by this wicked fire. I’ll make you suffer along with me! Hehe!
In the room, the two young people who were teasing each other eventually grew tired after their excitement.
Gradually, they both fell into a sweet slumber while tightly embracing each other.
……
The next day, as dawn broke.
After having breakfast, Ziyan led her most trusted companions onto a carriage and headed towards Qingfeng Tower.
In just a little over half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Tower.
The high walls and red gate were adorned with long red lanterns and vibrant silk ribbons, making it quite eye-catching at first glance.
Meanwhile, the Three Elders and Charming Lady had long been waiting at the entrance to welcome Ziyan and her companions.
Seeing this, Ziyan secretly smiled; it seems that the Three Elders have truly learned their lesson now.
“Charming Lady welcomes the arrival of the Sect Leader.”
Three Elders Hong Lianhua bowed deeply with cupped fists in a respectful gesture.
“Hmm! Good morning, Three Elders.” After exchanging pleasantries with Three Elders, Ziyan stepped over the threshold.
Upon entering, she was greeted by a scene that was decorated every day.
However, since it was still early in the morning, the place was relatively quiet and even seemed a bit desolate.
Every now and then, the sound of a door creaking open could be heard, followed by a very flirtatious woman's voice saying, “Please take care on your way out, and remember to come again next time.”
Ziyan knew exactly who these people were; they were merely some clients leaving after spending the night. The courtesans would bid them farewell with such parting words.
Ziyan didn't pay much attention to that and simply asked Strongman Wu Xiang and Three Elders Hong Lianhua to take her to the top floor where the Accountant was located, considering it as her office space.
Soon, she arrived at the office on the top floor. The room was fully furnished and decorated, all brand new.
Ziyan felt delighted; judging by the style of the furniture, this must have been arranged by Strongman Wu Xiang.
As she had glanced through all the rooms on her way up, she noticed that they were all heavily adorned in shades of rouge and powder, which suited the taste of Three Elders Hong Lianhua, an older woman.
Only this room had a completely new feel and atmosphere. It stood out like a snow lotus blooming in ice and snow—elegant and unpretentious.
This was the ambiance she desired! Ziyan glanced at Strongman Wu Xiang, feeling even more pleased. She was quite satisfied with this Strongman's Subordinate.
Indeed, having known him for so many years, he had never done anything that left her dissatisfied—not even regarding Princess Ling Yuer.
Wu Xiang could be considered pure and untainted. He didn't dare to be moved by the princess's active affection; this was truly rare.
Ziyan sat gracefully by the window, looking down, and she could see the entire yard and its entrances and exits within a single glance.
Just as Ziyan settled down, a maid brought in a pot of freshly brewed fragrant tea and placed it on the table in front of her, pouring her a cup.
As Ziyan was about to lift the cup to smell it, suddenly two or three hands reached out at the same time, trying to snatch her cup of tea away.
Ziyan furrowed her brows sharply and looked at the three people. Who else could it be?
Of course, the first was her Demonically Charming Man, the second was Strongman Wu Xiang, and the third was her personal maid Yang Xiaodie who had come with her.
Ziyan was taken aback!
"Let Subordinate have a taste first!" Wu Xiang said eagerly.
"No, Wu the Shopkeeper, let Maid try it first!" Just as Wu Xiang took the cup from Ziyan's hand to taste it, Yang Xiaodie reached out and snatched the cup from Wu Xiang's hand.
In the next moment, Strongman Wu Xiang was left stunned.
Ziyan spread her hands toward Ling Yuxuan and couldn't help but smile. It seemed these two were indeed very loyal to her.
Ling Yuxuan also nodded lightly with a smile, feeling pleased and happy for his Beloved Child.
After Yang Xiaodie finished her tea, Strongman Wu Xiang poured another cup for Ziyan.
This time, Ziyan did not hesitate, and no one else tried to stop her.
Ziyan lifted the cup, took a deep breath, smelled it, and then gently sipped a small mouthful, savoring the taste of the fine Rain-Preceding Longjing.
Next, while drinking tea on her own, Ziyan seriously observed the surroundings of Qingfeng Tower, both upstairs and downstairs, as well as the front yard.
She no longer engaged with others or spoke.
The Three Elders Hong Lianhua looked at Wu Xiang with a helpless expression, seeking assistance.
Wu Xiang understood that his master was inspecting the environment while also brainstorming ideas.
Ling Yuxuan also understood; he quietly sat across from her, shifting his gaze in accordance with hers as he observed everything around them.
The environment here was relatively clear, but there was a sense that various decorations and furnishings, especially those gaudy satin curtains, were overly flashy and vulgar.
Moreover, there were too few plants in the courtyard. Ziyan loved flowers and plants, yet here she hardly saw any pots or trees.
Plants require care and affection; it seemed that this Three Elders person not only had an impatient personality but also had a rough nature and lacked appreciation for life’s finer details.
As the saying goes, tending to flowers and plants can also refine a person's character. No wonder this Three Elders had such a disposition.
Everything complements each other. It is certainly true that not only does she need to rectify this Qingfeng Tower, but she also needs to address Three Elders Hong Lianhua as a person.
If she doesn’t love flowers and plants, then I will go to the Flower and Bird Market to buy many flowers and plants for her to take care of for a while.
Just as Ziyan was lost in thought, Wu Xiang had already taken all the account books from the shelf and placed them in front of Ziyan.
Having made up her mind, Ziyan returned to her senses, glanced at the account books, and didn't even bother to flip through them. She said to Wu Xiang, "How much cash is left on the accounts?"
"Uh? Cash? Oh, there are over ten thousand taels. Elder Yan sends someone every month to collect the cash and deposit it into the silver house he manages."
Strongman Wu Xiang was somewhat puzzled. Why had his master not asked him about any discrepancies in the accounts from the beginning? Instead, she only cared about that little bit of cash.
Seeing the slight furrow in Strongman Wu Xiang's brow, Ziyan naturally guessed what was on his mind.
Ziyan smiled faintly and took another sip of fragrant tea. Then, in front of the Three Elders and Hong Lianhua, she said, "Are you wondering why I haven't asked you two about reconciling the accounts?"
"Uh? Yes, yes!" Wu Xiang nodded immediately.
"It's simple. Since you returned to your residence last night, you haven't sought me out, and this morning you also didn't seem inclined to speak with me. That can only mean that you two have sorted out the accounts and found no discrepancies. Otherwise, given your Strongman personality, you would have come to discuss it last night. Since there hasn't been any issue, there's no need for me to ask further."
After she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. Especially the Three Elders and Hong Lianhua; it turned out that their young leader was so meticulous.
No wonder they had lost so badly! With such insight, they were no match for her.
It was even less surprising that Yan Laoguai had privately told them: this master was a rare talent with extraordinary genius and capabilities.
It seemed that they were destined to lose to her. Fortunately, they had woken up in time; otherwise, it would have ended very badly for them.
