Wen Family smiled gently, the warmth of her smile in the night bringing comfort to the heart. "Alright, Mother will enjoy life with me," she said. With such good news, it was impossible for her mother to refuse.
"Okay, you must be tired after the long journey. Hurry and get settled; I'll prepare something for you to eat."
By the time Yang Yichen had eaten his fill, the night had completely darkened. The village was quiet, and a gentle breeze blew, carrying a hint of coolness that eased the heat of the day.
He opened the window, letting in a refreshing breeze, ready for a good night's sleep so he could wake up energized for work the next day.
Once the lights in Wen Family's room were turned off, Yang Yichen quietly climbed over the wall without disturbing anyone.
He arrived at that place that haunted his dreams. As he leaped lightly into the yard, a large man suddenly opened his eyes and swung open the door. Upon seeing him, he silently retreated.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Back in his room, he lay down peacefully; with that person around, he felt completely assured of the girl's safety.
In her dreams, Liu Qingxi sensed a burning gaze fixed on her. Unconsciously, her cheeks flushed as she turned over and sleepily opened her hazy eyes, only to see a shadow standing at the foot of her bed.
Her mind was still clouded with sleep, and she caught a familiar scent wafting through her nostrils. In a daze, she murmured, "Yang Yichen, you're back!" before drifting back into slumber.
Yang Yichen: "Miss, how can you be so carefree?"
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The girl trusted him so completely; it was endearing yet concerning. What if he were someone else? Would she be this trusting?
Thinking about this made his expression darken suddenly. What should he do? This girl needed to learn a lesson; she couldn't be this way with other men. He needed to educate her properly.
Feeling frustrated, he took off his outer clothes and lay down on the bed, gently wrapping his arms around the girl's slender waist. A faint fragrance emanated from her, calming Yang Yichen's restless heart.
The next morning, Liu Qingxi woke up well-rested. She squinted her eyes and stretched her arms lazily when suddenly something hard blocked her movement.
Uh~~~~~~
Turning her head, Liu Qingxi was stunned.
A boy with sharp features, slightly raised sword-like brows, a high nose bridge, and thin, sensual lips lay quietly beside her. The morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting a curved shadow of his long eyelashes.
He seemed like a masterpiece of masterful craftsmanship created by nature, unlike any real person.
"Have you seen enough?" His refreshing voice carried a hint of hoarseness, seductive and charming, causing Liu Qingxi's heart to skip a beat.
So early in the morning, did he really have to be this enchanting? Faced with such beauty, her heart raced uncontrollably.
She foolishly replied, "Not enough!"
"Feel free to look, take your time!"
Huh??? Liu Qingxi was flustered. What had she just said? Her cheeks suddenly flushed with a rosy hue that spread from her face to her ears and down to her neck.
When did she become such a flirt? It was too embarrassing to be so easily tempted!
"As long as Xier wants to see, you can anytime, not just my face."
He fixed Liu Qingxi with an understanding gaze, winking flirtatiously; it was simply too captivating!
Hmm, "bewitching" was the most fitting word: "Too enchanting!" This was the best way for Liu Qingxi to express her admiration.
"Come on, beautiful, give me a smile!" Liu Qingxi couldn't help but recall classic lines from television dramas. Yang Yichen's face gave her an experience she had never had before.
Forget about big stars and handsome guys; put Yang Yichen aside, and he would definitely outshine the entire entertainment industry.
Yet he clearly could rely on his looks but chose to rely on his talent instead.
Yang Yichen raised an eyebrow and actually smiled. This smile was like an orchid blooming on a cliff, exuding a refreshing fragrance that was just right—too much would be overwhelming, too little would be insufficient.
Uh! I intended to tease someone, but unexpectedly, I ended up being teased myself. I've wasted so many years.
"Alright, stop messing around. Don't you have to go back today?" After all, as a court official, leaving one's post is not good and goes against the emperor's orders.
"I can take a half-day off today and return in the afternoon." He really fought for this half-day of rest.
He just wanted to stay like this forever; that would be perfect, Yang Yichen thought quietly.
In the end, he couldn't resist Liu Qingxi's urging: "You should hurry up and leave; someone will notice soon."
Only then did Yang Yichen reluctantly get up, deliberately taking advantage of Liu Qingxi a few times before leaving with a heart full of joy, as if he had just eaten honey.
Who would have thought that he hadn't even been gone for two moments when he boldly walked back in.
When Liu Qingxi saw him standing right in the middle of the courtyard with a slight smile on his lips, it was clear he was in a good mood.
"What are you doing back again?"
"I'm here to see my fiancée, openly and honestly!"
Just think about it; if someone were to come out of a girl's room in the middle of the night, they would definitely be dead. However, mutual communication during normal hours between engaged couples is encouraged.
"Fine!" Liu Qingxi found herself at a loss for words and let him be.
The two of them continued like this; wherever Liu Qingxi went, he followed without complaint or fatigue, making Liu Qingxi feel exhausted on his behalf.
Until finally, they reluctantly parted ways.
"Xier, make sure to come over when you have time."
On the carriage, the Wen Family held Liu Qingxi's hand through the window. "Qingxi, while I'm away these days, take good care of yourself."
"Aunt, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore. But you, will you be able to adapt to the new place?"
After a reluctant farewell, Liu Qingxi saw them off and then went to inspect the houses under construction, which had been progressing steadily.
In Liu Qingxi's hands were several buildings resembling a larger version of Flowing Villa's courtyard style, about four or five in total, along with various other requirements for the land, ranging from large estates to Earthen Houses.
"Come on, Kid, put in some extra effort! Once this busy period is over, I'll give you a big red envelope."
"Sure thing! Thank you, Miss Liu!" The men responded loudly, their muscular arms raised high, filled with strength.
What motivated them the most was money. Although life wasn't as difficult as before, based on their experience, Liu Qingxi's red envelopes would definitely be generous.
From previous distributions, the least they received was two hundred wen, nearly equivalent to a month's wages.
