However, Xin'er knew that if she encountered such a situation again, she would still act the same way.
After all, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, could she!?
Of course, she wouldn't say this to the man, lest he worry.
Yet, even without her words, Leng Yixuan could see her thoughts reflected in her eyes.
He felt helpless but also understood why she would act this way.
After all, this young lady was so pure-hearted and kind; she simply couldn't ignore someone in need.
Isn't that what he liked about her!?
With a sigh of resignation, Leng Yixuan noticed the bloodstains on Xin'er and frowned slightly before speaking.
"First, take a shower, then we can have a meal."
"Okay."
Hearing his words, Xin'er nodded and turned to head back to her room to sleep.
But just as she was about to take a step, she found herself swept off her feet by the man.
"Ah! Xuan, what are you doing!?"
Startled by the sudden action, Xin'er instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and shot him a glare with her beautiful eyes as she spoke.
Leng Yixuan merely raised an eyebrow at her reaction, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Taking a bath! What else could we do?!"
"Uh, I'll go back and take a shower myself, just let me down!"
"Hehe, not letting you go, because I just remembered that I haven't taken a bath either, so we should wash together!"
As Leng Yixuan spoke, there was a hint of mischief and suggestion in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xin'er couldn't help but blush.
Having experienced such moments before, Xin'er certainly understood the hidden desire in the man's gaze.
At that moment, Xin'er felt both shy and embarrassed.
The man, noticing her reaction, couldn't help but embrace her and leaned down to kiss her forehead fiercely before lifting his handsome face and laughing heartily.
Finally, when Xin'er and Leng Yixuan emerged from the bathroom, two hours had already passed.
After a long day of work and then being playfully tormented by this wolf-like man, Xin'er felt as exhausted as an ox.
However, she was even hungrier.
Thus, Leng Yixuan quickly had someone prepare dinner.
Summer had arrived.
By the lake, Pure Lotus bloomed while Azure Lotus filled the air with fragrance.
The place was cool and very pleasant.
Thus, Leng Yixuan ordered that dinner be served in the Azure Water Pavilion, so they could dine together and enjoy the picturesque scenery.
After her bath, Xin'er donned a water-blue veil that flowed elegantly.
This dress was meticulously crafted by Leng Yixuan, making it truly one of a kind in the world.
Not only was this silk skirt unique, but this time, Leng Yixuan had specially commissioned the best silk shop in the capital to tailor a whole wardrobe for Xin'er.
For every season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—there were over a dozen styles of silk skirts, each designed with distinct colors and patterns.
Naturally, the cost was considerable.
However, Leng Yixuan never gave these expenses a second thought.
After all, he had plenty of money to spare.
Moreover, when it came to his beloved woman, he naturally wanted nothing but the best.
Because this silk skirt was carefully crafted with the finest materials and workmanship, it showcased Xin'er’s graceful figure to perfection.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her complexion as radiant as an autumn moon. With delicate brows and cherry lips, she was a picture of exquisite beauty.
Her eyes sparkled like water, captivating all who gazed upon her; in their glance lay an unparalleled charm that could ensnare souls!
Walking alongside Xin'er was a man clad in a black python robe, exuding an air of elegance and distinction.
With a bronze complexion and exquisite features, every contour seemed to be meticulously carved from fine jade, a rarity in the world.
His sword-like brows arched gracefully, his nose was straight and proud, and his deep black eyes sparkled with wisdom. His red lips resembled sharp blades.
Every inch of him exuded the intelligence and dominance characteristic of someone in a position of power!
It was impossible not to be awed by him!
Such a stunning couple, walking together, surely evoked envy from countless onlookers.
Throughout their journey, Leng Yixuan held Xin'er's small hand firmly, oblivious to the various envious and ambiguous glances directed at them.
After all, for Leng Yixuan, it was perfectly natural to hold the hand of the woman he loved within his own estate.
Only Xin'er felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment under the weight of so many admiring gazes, her face never losing its rosy hue.
Yet inside, she felt sweetly elated, as if filled with honey.
As they arrived at the Azure Water Pavilion, they found it already adorned with an array of exquisite dishes.
At that moment, as the lights began to glow, the fragrant aroma of food wafted through the Azure Water Pavilion, stirring Xin'er's appetite.
Knowing that Xin'er was not accustomed to being waited on by others, Leng Yixuan waved his hand as they entered the Pavilion.
The two maidservants who had been standing by immediately retreated to stand ten meters away from the Pavilion.
"Come on, Xin'er, you must be hungry! Let's eat!"
"En."
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er nodded slightly. She then picked up her chopsticks, her beautiful eyes gently scanning the dozen or so dishes laid out on the stone table.
There were a total of ten dishes and one soup.
Since Leng Yixuan was not one to waste food, although there were many dishes, each portion was not large.
On the table, there were garlic ribs, braised pigeon, spicy chicken, stewed bird's nest, abalone, and more...
Each dish was truly a feast for the senses! Just seeing them made one's appetite surge and fingers itch to dig in!
In fact, Xin'er had been starving just moments ago, feeling as if she could eat a whole cow.
However, at this moment, as she picked up her chopsticks, she appeared unsure of how to start.
These dishes looked incredibly delicious at first glance, but now she found herself somewhat reluctant to eat.
"What's wrong?!"
Noticing Xin'er merely picking up her chopsticks but hesitating to serve herself, Leng Yixuan's face immediately showed concern as he asked.
Xin'er simply shook her head slightly in response.
Biting her chopsticks lightly, her dark eyebrows furrowed gently. Her beautiful eyes continued to scan the exquisite dishes on the table, yet she didn't feel particularly inclined to eat any of them.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan paused for a moment before seeming to recall something and asked.
"Is it that these dishes don't suit your taste?"
Leng Yixuan asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er hesitated for a moment before gently nodding her head.
In truth, she didn't want Yixuan to think she was picky.
She used to not be picky at all.
Moreover, whether the meal was good or bad, it was still a meal. In the past, when she was taking care of her younger brother, there were times when they had no money at all, not even enough to buy a bun!
So, Xin'er would eat whatever was available.
But now, she didn't know what had changed.
Was it because she was living a better life now?
Why did she feel no appetite at all when looking at these exquisite dishes?
And she particularly craved something sour.
As she thought about this, Xin'er found herself puzzled.
Beside her, Leng Yixuan noticed Xin'er's nod and, though surprised, immediately spoke up.
"Fool, if the food doesn't suit your taste, just say so. I won't stop you from eating. Now tell me, what do you want to eat!?"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er thought for a moment and then replied.
"I really want to eat Sour and Spicy Noodles right now."
"Sour and Spicy Noodles!? Is that all!?"
Upon hearing Xin'er's request, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but raise her beautifully shaped eyebrows.
After all, there were countless delicacies on the table, yet she wanted something as simple as Sour and Spicy Noodles...
It was indeed a bit strange.
However, Leng Yixuan didn't think too much about it and immediately instructed the servants to prepare a bowl of Sour and Spicy Noodles for Xin'er.
Listening to Leng Yixuan ordering the servants to make her Sour and Spicy Noodles, Xin'er quickly added one last thing.
"Make sure to add plenty of sour and spicy flavor."
"Yes, ma'am."
The servant took the order and soon brought a steaming bowl of Sour and Spicy Noodles.
As it was placed in front of Xin'er, her eyes instantly lit up.
She felt her mouth watering at the sight.
Beside her, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but smile at Xin'er’s greedy expression and then asked with curiosity, "Weren't you not fond of sour and spicy food before? Why do you want to eat it now?"
"I don't know, I just really want to eat it today," Xin'er replied.
In truth, Xin'er was just as puzzled by her sudden craving as Leng Yixuan was. However, she didn't dwell on the question for long.
When she saw the Sour and Spicy Noodles placed in front of her, the sight of the bright red chili peppers and the smell of the pickled vegetables made her mouth water.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan stopped asking questions and simply said with a smile, "Go ahead and eat, little glutton!"
His tone was filled with affection.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er shyly stuck out her pink tongue, feeling both embarrassed and flattered. She didn't hold back any longer and picked up her chopsticks to dig in.
In no time, she finished the entire bowl of Sour and Spicy Noodles.
Leng Yixuan watched in astonishment. After all, he knew that Xin'er usually had a small appetite and didn't eat much. So seeing her devour a whole bowl of Sour and Spicy Noodles left him quite surprised.
However, upon seeing Xin'er eat so much, Leng Yixuan was only slightly taken aback for a moment before speaking up.
"Well, eating a lot is good; it will help with future nourishment!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, she realized that she had indeed eaten a bit too much this time.
Yet, Xin'er thought it was simply because she had spent the entire day shopping and then returned home to be worn out by Xuan, which drained her energy.
So, she didn't think much of it otherwise.
Little did she know that all her experiences today were entirely due to the fact that within her belly, there already existed the love child of her and Xuan...
...
As night fell, the lights began to twinkle, and the stars and moon cast a captivating glow; the night was intoxicating!
It was once again the time when one felt warm and indulged in desires...
