Chapter 18

“You wanted to see me?”

At night, Ye Ningxuan sat in her room and thought about how to invite Zhan Hanjue back. She didn’t expect him to take the initiative to come back.

Ye Ningxuan was overjoyed, but she pretended to be shocked. “No, I didn’t look for you.”

Zhan Hanjue frowned. “Mrs. Chen said you needed me for something.”

Ye Ningxuan quickly got up and walked to the door.

As expected, when she stuck her head out, she saw Mrs. Chen standing in the corridor, looking like she was ready to eavesdrop.

Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to close the door. She turned around and said to Zhan Hanjue, “I’m not the one looking for you. Grandma asked you to come over. As for the reason… I’m sure you can guess it even if I don’t say it. Grandma is waiting to have a great-grandson. You always sleep in the study. How can she not be anxious?”

Zhan Hanjue’s frown deepened.

Ye Ningxuan quickly explained, “I’m not the one who complained to Grandma. I have no objections if you don’t come back, but you know what the old lady is thinking. I can’t do anything about it. What do you think we should do? Mrs. Chen is still outside the door. She’s probably waiting to eavesdrop.”

“Did Grandmama give you something?” Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningxuan thought, ‘You really know your grandmother.’

“Yes, a bottle… It’s said that it used to be a tonic for the emperor. Grandma said that you can drink it in a cup.” Ye Ningxuan took out the small porcelain bottle.

Scowling, Zhan Hanjue snatched it away. “Confiscated.”

“Whatever.”

So be it. She didn’t care for it anyway.

“What are you wearing on your wrist?” Zhan Hanjue asked, suddenly grabbing her wrist.

When he’d snatched the bottle earlier, he’d accidentally touched her wrist. The bracelet on her wrist had clinked. He should have heard it.

Ye Ningxuan quickly explained, “It’s a bracelet. Grandma gave it to me. She said that it was a gift from you. I didn’t want it at first, but Grandma insisted on giving it to me.”

“Keep it on!” Zhan Hanjue released her hand.

Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief. His grip was so strong that it hurt.

“You said Mrs. Chen was outside the door?” Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningxuan nodded and said, “She’s still in the corridor now. She should be back to listen to the conversation later. What should we do? It’s best if you explain to Grandma that you really don’t like me. I don’t think she will make things difficult for you.”

“I’m already here,” Zhan Hanjue said.

“Huh?” Ye Ningxuan was surprised.

The next thing she knew, she was on the bed with him. By the time she realized what was happening, he was on top of her. They were no more than five centimeters apart.

“What… what do you want?” Ye Ningxuan was flustered and her cheeks were red.

Zhan Hanjue lowered his voice and said, “Make Grandmother stop worrying.”

“If you want to make Grandmother stop worrying, why are you pressing on me? Don’t tell me you want to do it!” Ye Ningxuan asked in horror.

Zhan Hanjue smirked.

This was the first time Ye Ningxuan saw him smile, and she was immediately stunned.

He was too handsome!

She’d known from the first moment she’d laid eyes on Zhan Hanjue that he was extremely handsome. She’d never seen someone so striking. She’d wanted to reach out and touch him.

She thought she’d gotten used to his handsomeness after all that time.

To her surprise, when he smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming, and she couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.

But at least he was rational enough not to act impulsively.

“Why are you laughing? Do you really think so? Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in me?” Ye Ningxuan nervously touched the silver needle.

“Don’t move. It’s just for show.” Zhan Hanjue moved closer, almost breathing into her ear.

Ye Ningxuan’s face turned even redder, and her heart couldn’t help but thump.

It was one thing to have such a face, but to have such a beautiful voice was a foul.

It seemed that the heavens wanted to take away his eyes so that ordinary people could stand a chance.

“Do you want me to moan?” Since it was an act, she had to do it properly.

“You can moan?” Zhan Hanjue raised his eyebrows.

“Tsk.” Ye Ningxuan curled her lips in disdain. Just because she hadn’t done so before didn’t mean she didn’t know how to?

He was underestimating her.

“Uh-huh… Honey, slow down. You’re hurting me. Uh-huh…”

Ye Ningxuan acted coyly.

Zhan Hanjue was speechless.

He coughed lightly and his ears turned red. He immediately rolled off her and lay on the side while taking deep breaths.

When Mrs. Chen heard these sounds, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.

She didn’t expect Young Madam to be so wild even though she looked so demure and proper.

It seemed like the young master of the Zhan family would be born soon.

Mrs. Chen smiled and left quietly to report the good news to the old lady.

“She’s already gone.” Zhan Hanjue suddenly reached out to cover Ye Ningxuan’s mouth.

If she continued to moan, he might not be able to take it.

“Gone? How did you know?” Ye Ningxuan was surprised.

Zhan Hanjue scoffed. “You’ve studied medicine. Don’t you know that blind people have excellent hearing?”

“Ahem, when you’re done, we’ll go find Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi,” Ye Ningxuan comforted awkwardly.

However, she was still worried that Mrs. Chen hadn’t left. She got out of bed and opened the door to look outside. As expected, there was no one outside.

Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Zhan Hanjue. “She has indeed left. You can return to the study.”

“Grandmama will be suspicious if I return to my study now,” Zhan Hanjue said.

“So… you plan to… sleep here tonight?” Ye Ningxuan asked suspiciously.

“This is my room, my bed,” Zhan Hanjue reminded her.

Ye Ningxuan smiled. “Of course I know this is your room and your bed. I’m just asking. Fine, let’s sleep! I’ll sleep on the floor.”

She went to the cupboard for a blanket and spread it on the floor.

It wasn’t as if she hadn’t slept on the floor. What was there to be afraid of?

But … she hadn’t showered yet today.

And when Zhan Hanjue came in, he seemed misty. He must have showered.

She was used to showering every day. She really couldn’t sleep without showering.

If she went next door to shower, the old lady would probably find out.

“Are you going to sleep or not?”

Ye Ningxuan tossed and turned. It was torture for Zhan Hanjue, who had excellent hearing.

“I’m sorry.” Ye Ningxuan quickly apologized. “I haven’t showered yet, so I can’t sleep. Why don’t I take a shower? I’ll shower in your bathroom.”

“Whatever,” Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the ground.

Thinking that he was blind, she had no scruples. As before, she undressed in her room and went to the bathroom naked.

Zhan Hanjue was speechless.

He immediately lowered his eyes, his heart pounding!

But he couldn’t say anything, or risk revealing his secret.

After Ye Ningxuan took a shower, she walked out naked just like when she entered.

Zhan Hanjue quickly closed his eyes. His heart was pounding so hard that he could only reach out and cover his chest, as if to prevent it from jumping out.

However, he had caught a glimpse of her body just now.

The girl’s graceful fair body seemed to be branded in his mind, and he couldn’t get rid of it.

That night, Zhan Hanjue had a long, long dream.

In the dream, he was having sex with the girl.

He woke up in shock, feeling a great sense of emptiness and shame that made his face flush.
