As the man entered, everyone in the room was captivated by his extraordinary charm.
The man was strikingly handsome, clad in an Aqua Blue Robe that accentuated his tall and lanky figure.
Around his waist was an Azure Wide-Bordered Belt, adorned with a piece of exquisite Sheep Fat Jade, exuding an air of nobility.
His long hair, as smooth as silk, cascaded down his back, held in place by a Sky Blue Hairband that gathered only a small portion while the rest flowed freely.
His knuckles were prominent on his large hands, which currently held a Jade Folding Fan, the tassel attached to it swaying gently as he moved. With each subtle flick of the fan, the Azure Tassel danced lightly, making him appear even more regal than a Jade Tree in the Yao Platform.
What truly drew attention was his face, seemingly sculpted by divine hands.
His sword-like brows arched elegantly, complemented by a straight nose and thin lips. His elongated eyes sparkled with intelligence and shrewdness, creating a perfect harmony.
Even as he strode confidently into the room, his poise and nobility were unmistakable.
Upon seeing him enter, Xin'er snapped back to reality. Her jade-like beautiful little face instantly lit up with a joyful smile.
Her red lips parted as she took a few steps forward and softly called out, "Xuan..."
"Master's Blessing."
"Mm."
Without even glancing at Xiao Huan's greeting, Leng Yixuan merely gestured lightly with his hand.
For the man had fixed his gaze solely on the White-Clad Young Woman before him; everyone else faded from his sight.
"Xuan, what are you doing back here!? Are you looking for me!?" Xin'er asked.
After all, this was a place where the servants lived, and Xuan would never normally be found here.
Moreover, the man before her was dressed in luxurious clothing, exuding an air of elegance and charm that seemed completely out of place in this humble room.
Hearing Xin'er's words, the man's red lips curled into a charming smile as he replied warmly, "Yes, I came back and didn't find you in the study. I asked the servants and learned you were here."
Leng Yixuan didn't mind the presence of others and immediately took Xin'er's small hand, gently cradling it in his palm.
Seeing this, Xiao Huan could only stifle a laugh. After all, in this household, everyone knew that Xin'er was the apple of their master's eye. The master liked Xin'er, and this was evident to all, even if he didn't say it outright.
In contrast to Xiao Huan's suppressed laughter, the woman on the bed furrowed her dark eyebrows tightly.
Aotian Xue had lived for seventeen years, born into nobility with striking beauty and favored by her father, the Empress Mother. From a young age, she had been the center of attention, treated like a precious gem.
She had always been surrounded by flattery and adulation; she had never experienced such humiliation as today!
First, there was the disdain from the girl here, and now this man disregarded her entirely.
Since he entered this room, his gaze had been fixed solely on the girl in white, completely ignoring her presence.
Was her appearance truly so inferior to that white-clad girl’s!?
At this thought, Aotian Xue's gaze towards Xin'er was filled with anger and undeniable jealousy!
Why!
Couldn’t this man’s attention be directed at her!?
With that in mind, Aotian Xue's eyes fell upon the man before her.
What a handsome man he was!
Previously, she had always believed that in this world, only her father, the emperor, was the most wise and powerful, and her royal brother was the most handsome and noble.
However, the appearance of this man shattered that belief!
Standing there, he exuded an aura of elegance and grace, commanding respect and admiration that made it impossible to look away.
This man would stand shoulder to shoulder with her father and brother without losing an ounce of dignity!
Such a noble and extraordinary man truly… made her heart race!
This man, Aotian Xue was determined to possess!
With this thought, a fierce determination flashed through Aotian Xue's apricot eyes.
So, just as Leng Yixuan was about to lead Xin'er away from here, Aotian Xue immediately spoke up in surprise.
“Wait a moment, young master!”
Aotian Xue's tone was somewhat anxious, yet her voice remained clear and melodious, like a yellow oriole singing in the valley, truly captivating!
Upon hearing Aotian Xue's words, the three people in the room turned their gazes toward her.
However, Xiao Huan and Xin'er looked at Aotian Xue with expressions of surprise. Just moments ago, this woman had spoken in a very arrogant and rude manner, clearly full of herself, which was quite off-putting.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, this young girl seemed to have transformed completely.
As soon as she noticed the young man glance back at her, a charming smile appeared on her delicate face that bore no makeup. She quickly tidied her slightly disheveled hair and clothes before gracefully stepping down from the bed. With elegant strides, she approached Leng Yixuan and gently bowed to him, smiling sweetly.
“I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace, young master. If it weren't for your rescue, I fear that…”
At this point, Aotian Xue nodded slightly, her face displaying a captivating smile as she gazed at the young man with affectionate eyes.
The arrogance that had previously marked her features was nowhere to be seen; instead, there was only the bashful demeanor of a young girl who felt shy and coy.
With her enchanting features and alluring charm, when she gently nodded and looked at him with those beautiful eyes filled with longing, it was enough to mesmerize any other man who might see her, leaving them spellbound and yearning.
However, these other men did not include Leng Yixuan!
Upon witnessing the young woman's slight bow and composed demeanor, Leng Yixuan merely nodded politely in response to Aotian Xue. His gaze remained calm and unperturbed as he looked at her, devoid of any astonishment or desire. It was as if she were just another passerby to him.
"To save you is Xin'er's intention. If you want to thank someone, thank her."
Leng Yixuan spoke, his voice flat and hoarse, showing no desire to engage with Aotian Xue.
This left Aotian Xue deeply shaken.
After all, her beauty was her greatest confidence!
In the past, a mere glance from her would leave any man utterly captivated, consumed by thoughts of her day and night.
She had always believed that aside from her father and elder brother, no man could resist falling at her feet. Yet, this man before her was an exception!
His Deep Black Eyes were profound, like a pair of ancient black pools, unfathomable and calm.
His gaze did not carry the infatuation that other men displayed upon seeing her.
How could this not astonish and shock Aotian Xue!?
Yet it was precisely this man's uniqueness that made him so special!
He was indeed the man she had set her sights on!
If this man were to be easily swayed by a simple flirtatious glance from her, she would consider him no different from the others.
But at this moment, Aotian Xue felt even more resolute in her belief.
This man, she must have!
However...
As she thought of this, Aotian Xue's gaze involuntarily fell upon the tightly clasped hands of the man before her and the girl in white.
Even though the customs of the Celestial Yuan Dynasty were open-minded, it was still surprising to see a master and a maid openly holding hands in front of others. This...
Seeing this, a surge of anger welled up within Aotian Xue.
Yet, on her face, there was a stark contrast to the fury raging inside her!
That stunning little face, when meeting Xin'er’s gaze, broke into a smile filled with heartfelt gratitude as her red lips curved upward. She lightly lifted her lips and smiled at Xin'er and Yingying.
"It turns out it was this sister who saved me. Tianxue is truly grateful."
Aotian Xue smiled at Yingying, displaying poise and grace, embodying the very essence of a refined lady from a noble family.
Upon witnessing Aotian Xue's behavior, both Xin'er and the nearby Xiao Huan were taken aback.
After all, just a moment ago, this woman had treated them harshly; how could she now seem like a completely different person?
Her words were gentle and polite, her demeanor composed, and her expression dignified. If they hadn’t already witnessed her earlier arrogance and capriciousness, they might have believed that this was her true nature!
Caught off guard by the sudden change, Xin'er momentarily found herself at a loss for words.
After a brief pause, she finally managed to respond to Aotian Xue with some hesitation.
"Uh, no need to thank me; it was just a small effort..."
Leng Yixuan couldn't help but glance sideways at Xin'er, noticing something unusual about her.
However, just moments ago, Leng Yixuan had no idea what had transpired here, so naturally, he was unaware of how Xin'er was facing this woman, and a look of surprise crossed his face.
Nonetheless, Leng Yixuan didn't dwell on it too much; he simply tightened his grip on Xin'er's hand and spoke to Aotian Xue.
"Since you're fine now, you should go home."
As Leng Yixuan said this, he intended to pull Xin'er away. However, at that moment, Aotian Xue suddenly gasped and stepped in front of Leng Yixuan.
"No, wait a moment, young master..."
"Hmm? Do you still have something to say?"
Upon Aotian Xue's obstruction, Leng Yixuan frowned and asked.
His tone was light, but those who knew him well would recognize that he was growing somewhat impatient.
Yet Aotian Xue seemed completely oblivious to Leng Yixuan's displeasure. After blocking his path, she immediately put on a pitiful expression and pleaded.
"Young master, I... I have nowhere to go now. Please, be a good person and let me stay! I'm begging you..."
By the end of her plea, her voice trembled slightly, and tears shimmered in her eyes, making her appear delicate and utterly captivating.
Such a heart-wrenching sight would likely move any other man to the core, wishing to cradle her gently in his hands and cherish her.
However, upon seeing the glistening tears in Aotian Xue's eyes and her pitiful demeanor, Leng Yixuan's expression remained calm and unruffled as he spoke in a detached tone.
"I do not keep idle people in my residence!"
Leng Yixuan, after all, was a businessman, not a philanthropist; he never engaged in unprofitable ventures.
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Aotian Xue felt a surge of panic at the thought that he might dismiss her.
How could this be!?
This man was someone she had set her sights on. As the saying goes, "the one closest to the water gets the first sip," and she had to stay here until she won his heart!
Moreover, Aotian Xue had never failed to obtain anything she desired!
With this thought in mind, Aotian Xue's eyes flickered as she spoke again, pleadingly.
"Young Master, as long as you allow me to stay here, I am willing to be your maid and serve you!"
Aotian Xue bit her lip, making a decision that even she found hard to believe.
After all, she was of noble birth, destined from birth to enjoy endless wealth and luxury—everything handed to her on a silver platter. She had always been the one served by others; there was no way she would serve anyone else.
However, for this man before her, she was willing to humble herself.
After all, once she became this man's maid, with her charm, she couldn't believe he wouldn't fall under her spell.
It was merely a matter of time.
Moreover, Aotian Xue was certain that this man would never refuse her request.
After all, which man would not be willing to have a beautiful maidservant like her by his side?
Just as Aotian Xue was feeling pleased with herself and convinced that Leng Yixuan would agree, he spoke up, and his words were completely contrary to her expectations—
"I don't need any other maidservants, so you should leave."
"What!?"
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Aotian Xue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.
Her beautiful Apricot Eyes widened in disbelief, filled with shock.
After all, she could hardly believe that there existed a man in this world who could resist her allure and refuse her request.
She was a distinguished lady of noble birth; having her serve him was already a blessing he had earned over several lifetimes, and it was something she was more than willing to do. Yet, this man dared to be so ungrateful as to reject her.
Thinking of this made Aotian Xue seethe with anger.
With a glare in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said,
"You!"
"What about me!?"
In response to Aotian Xue's fury, Leng Yixuan merely cast a casual glance at her with his Deep Black Eyes.
As she gazed at the man's handsome face and extraordinary demeanor, the anger that had initially consumed Aotian Xue suddenly dissipated.
After all, this man was the first to reject her, as well as the first one she had taken a liking to. He truly was remarkable.
The more he behaved this way, the more she found herself drawn to him.
Thus, today, she was determined to stay here no matter what!
With that thought in mind, Aotian Xue's expression softened, her eyes shimmering with tears as she spoke in a pitiful tone.
"Young Master, I beg you to have mercy. I have nowhere else to go. Please, just let me stay. I am willing to do anything if I can remain here."
Aotian Xue said with a sorrowful look, noticing that Leng Yixuan's gaze remained indifferent, as if he didn't regard her at all.
Her gaze then fell upon Xin'er beside her, and her eyes softened as she pleaded pitifully.
"Sister, please, I beg you to persuade the Young Master! I am truly in a desperate situation..."
"Uh, well..."
