Chapter 540: He Appeared in Time

Hearing Nangong Xiao’s words, Wen Ruan’s heart skipped a beat.

He was prepared to not even take a shower and directly…

Wen Ruan’s arm instantly broke out in goosebumps. The moment he got close to her, she felt extremely disgusted, not to mention any intimate actions!

When Nangong Xiao tried to kiss Wen Ruan again, she pushed him away forcefully.

Her slender body wanted to get off the bed, but Nangong Xiao quickly grabbed her ankle.

He looked into her eyes and lost his patience.” Don’t play hard to get with me. Wen Ruan, I’m already very patient with you. I didn’t let you enter the palace for decoration.””

His dark eyes were burning with scarlet flames. He tightened his grip on her ankle and pulled her back to him.

His fingers caressed her chin, and his dark eyes swept across her delicate face. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.” Stop moving around!”

There was a hint of warning in his deep voice, and Wen Ruan’s heart was in her throat.

She had the bracelet that Huo Hannian had given her, and as long as she pressed the switch, the anesthetic needle would knock him out.

But after she knocked him out, everything she had done before was in vain!

She might even be hunted down by him, and her family would be implicated.

If she didn’t press the switch, what happened next was something she couldn’t accept!

Just as Wen Ruan’s mind was spinning, a hissing sound suddenly sounded in his ear.

There was a tear in her pajamas.

Although the cut was not very big, the snow-white skin of the collar was exposed.

Nangong Xiao looked at Wen Ruan with a burning gaze, and his breathing became heavier.

Wen Ruan’s skin was definitely the most delicate and snow-white one he had ever seen.

Although she had wrapped herself up tightly, this kind of dress was more attractive than a sexy dress.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Especially when he saw her snow-white, delicate muscles being revealed bit by bit, the blood in his body boiled.

Wen Ruan’s eyelashes trembled violently, and she almost lost her rationality and kicked Nangong Xiao. She bit her lips hard with her white teeth.

If he forced himself on her, she could only press the button.

Just as he was about to pull open her pajamas again, Wen Ruan’s finger quietly placed on the switch.

At this moment, Betty’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.” Fire, fire…”

Nangong Xiao frowned and walked to the door. He opened the door and took a look.

A choking smell of smoke wafted into his nose.

He strode downstairs. A few servants were working on the fire extinguisher. The kitchen was already on fire.

Nangong Xiao’s secret guard ran in.” King, this place is on fire. We have to leave quickly.””

“Quickly send someone over to put out the fire.” As if he had thought of something, he instructed the servant of Fairspring Palace in a low voice,” Take care of Miss Wen’s safety.”

“Yes, King.”

After Nangong Xiao left, Wen Ruan, who was standing at the corner of the second floor, heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned around and walked towards her room.

As soon as she entered the room, she was blocked by a tall figure in the corner.

Wen Ruan’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered. She raised her hands and was about to push away the person who was blocking her way when a familiar and refreshing breath blew into her nose.

Wen Ruan was stunned. She felt bitter and aggrieved. She reached out her hands and hugged the man back, her small face leaning against his firm and broad chest.

The man’s deep and cold voice sounded above her head.” You still know how to be afraid?”

Her slender body, which was leaning against his chest, was trembling slightly.

Although she did not say anything, he could feel her fear and panic.

“Did you set the fire?”

Huo Hannian hummed in agreement. He saw Nangong Xiao suddenly come to the Beautiful Spring Palace and knew that Wen Ruan might not be prepared, so he set a fire in the kitchen.

Wen Ruan looked up at Huo Hannian with her moist almond-shaped eyes.” Thank goodness you’re here. Otherwise, all my previous plans would have gone to waste.””

Huo Hannian raised his long hand and stroked Wen Ruan’s long hair.” I’m already on your boat. There’s nothing I can do.””

She was definitely the boldest and most fearless woman he had ever seen!

“Nangong Xiao didn’t get you tonight, but he will come tomorrow night. What do you plan to do next?”

Wen Ruan pursed her lips slightly.” He suddenly came over from Princess Ya’s place tonight. Princess Ya must hate me. Why don’t I take this opportunity to make myself sick!”

Huo Hannian looked at Wen Ruan with his dark eyes.” You have to know your limits. Don’t really hurt yourself.””

Wen Ruan’s small face curved into a smile. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Huo Hannian’s thin lips.” I know!””

Huo Hannian looked at Wen Ruan with his dark and narrow eyes. He tightened his grip on her slender waist, almost squeezing her into his bones. His thin lips pressed against her ear.” Did Nangong Xiao kiss you?””

As he spoke, his hot breath entered her ears, making her feel numb and numb. Wen Ruan shook her head obediently in his arms.” I really dislike him. How could I let him kiss me?””

As soon as she finished speaking, her small chin was lifted by the man’s slender fingers.

Their eyes met.

His eyes were dark and deep.

Her eyes were clear and bashful.

He suddenly curled the corners of his lips.” Then, who do you only let kiss?”

Wen Ruan’s small hands clenched into fists and she punched his shoulder.” You already know the answer.””

” I want to hear you say it’s in the middle of the stage.”

“Only you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, he kissed her fiercely on the lips.

..

When Princess Ya heard about the fire in the kitchen, she sneered,” Vixen! If it wasn’t for her, why would the King suddenly leave after seeing my dance?”

It was not enough to have Princess Li, and now there was Wen Ruan. Princess Ya was furious.

She had to think of a way to get rid of Wen Ruan.

Princess Li had a foundation in the palace and she could not touch her for the time being. However, Wen Ruan was different. She had just entered the palace and did not have a backer. It was not difficult to touch her!

Princess Ya quickly came up with a plan. She ordered her confidant to follow her plan.

..

According to the rules of the royal family, every three months, Nangong Xiao would bring the women in his harem to have a meal together.

Of course, only those of high status and favored could attend the palace banquet.

Wen Ruan was among those invited.

Nangong Xiao had sent someone to send her a qipao for the palace banquet. After Wen Ruan put it on, she had light makeup on her face. Her skin was fair, and her face was full of protein.

The Queen, Princess Ya, Princess Li, and a few other favored concubines were all dressed up.

The banquet was held in a separate palace. Wen Ruan heard from Consort Li that there would be fireworks to watch after the meal and they could even soak in the hot spring. Other than the women that Nangong Xiao had designated to serve, the others could move around freely here.

After dinner, they went to the observation deck to watch the fireworks.

Princess Ya had been paying attention to Wen Ruan. When she saw Wen Ruan stand up, her body swayed and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She shot a look at the maid standing behind Wen Ruan. The maid immediately went forward to support Wen Ruan.” Miss Wen, what’s wrong?””
