Steward Zhang was almost scared to death when Xie Jiang suddenly appeared before him.
The scream that rose to his throat was swallowed back down as soon as he met her eyes, choking Steward Zhang until his face was red and his neck was bulging, nearly bursting a blood vessel.
He, he was being threatened!
Miss Xie's gaze was one that would tear him to pieces!
Was there no justice!
Climbing over walls in the middle of the night to barge into a man's room!
And they weren't even allowed to make a sound to warn him!
What was she planning to do!
Xie Jiang was very pleased with Steward Zhang's understanding. It was clear that Yi Yan Gen was already asleep, and how interesting it would be to corner him in bed.
A midnight surprise, how thrilling.
Thrilling! Could their master withstand such a thrill!
Steward Zhang watched with the eyes of someone looking at a scoundrel as Xie Jiang walked further inside, wickedly taking off her outer robe and discarding it.
Xie Jiang lifted the covers and got in, one leg pressing against Yi Yan Gen's waist.
Yi Yan Gen was startled awake in the middle of the night. In the dim moonlight, he looked hazily at the person pressing down on him, stunned for a long time before finally waking up completely.
"Jiang Jiang?" His slightly hoarse voice was incredibly sexy, especially alluring in the night.
"Mmm?" Looking at him up close, his features were like majestic mountains and picturesque rivers, she seemed to be getting addicted.
"Why are you here so late?" Regardless of the reason, her sudden appearance made his heart burn.
The standard answer to flirt would definitely be—I miss you.
"Are you getting used to living at the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
Yi Yan Gen probably guessed how she would answer, perhaps even more outrageous than the standard answer, so as soon as the words left his mouth, he quickly added.
As expected, Xie Jiang said it right away, "No, I'm not used to it. The Duke of Wei's mansion doesn't have you."
Yi Yan Gen felt as if the person pressing on him was a furnace, and he was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
"I'll go to the study." Even the side room wouldn't do, it was too close.
"You don't want to sleep with me?"
"No..." He knew she was teasing him, but he still couldn't handle it.
"Do you still want to go back to the Duke of Wei's mansion?" Yi Yan Gen quickly changed the subject, his throat dry and hoarse.
"Mmm, I still have to stay for a while."
"Can you get used to the food at the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
He knew she was exceptionally particular about her food. The chefs he was currently using had all been trained by her chefs.
"It's terrible."
To make Xu Heng Yan willingly jump into the pit she had dug, she had sacrificed a lot. If Xu Heng Yan didn't lose his mind and go insane in the future, it would be a disservice to her stomach these past few days.
"Are you not full? Should I have the kitchen make you something to eat?"
"Okay."
As Yi Yan Gen was about to sit up, she reached out and pressed him down.
Yi Yan Gen said helplessly, "I'll go instruct the kitchen..."
Xie Jiang raised her voice slightly, "Is Steward Zhang dead?"
Steward Zhang outside was startled, "I'm going right away, this old servant is going to the kitchen now."
Steward Zhang ran as fast as he could, afraid that if he was any slower, he would truly die.
Xie Jiang had one leg resting on his waist, leaning against his arm and lying beside him. The feeling was unexpectedly good.
Her whole body relaxed unconsciously, so comfortable that she didn't even want to move her fingers, wanting to lean like this forever.
Xie Jiang immediately became alert.
This man was indeed very dangerous.
If one indulged for too long in a bed of softness, one would drown silently.
Xie Jiang suddenly propped up her upper body, staring at his face, which was pleasing to her aesthetic in every way, and slowly moved her mouth closer.
Yi Yan Gen's heart tightened, and he suddenly grabbed her shoulders, preventing her from getting any closer.
But at this moment, they were already close enough, their breaths filled with each other's scent.
For a moment, Yi Yan Gen even wanted to forget everything and just be in the moment, but a sliver of reason was so ill-timed.
"Jiang Jiang."
"Mmm?"
"Do you know what you're doing?" Yi Yan Gen gazed deeply into her eyes.
