"Thank you so much, Young Master," Xin'er said, her voice as melodious as a lark in the fields.
Hearing her words, Beautiful Youth merely raised an eyebrow, his Phoenix Eyes scrutinizing Xin'er without any hint of courtesy. His gaze was bold and unyielding, reminiscent of a king looking down upon his subjects.
Under such a direct stare, Xin'er felt a tightening in her chest, and her cheeks quickly flushed. Her beauty shone through, resembling a peach blossom in full bloom, captivating and enchanting.
Before long, her face was completely red, making her look like a stunning beauty that could topple cities.
Seeing this, Beautiful Youth's slender and attractive eyes sparkled with intrigue. After all, the girl on stage moments ago seemed like a completely different person from the one before him now.
The girl on stage had been ethereal, every movement exuding charm and allure, as if she were a natural seductress who could stir the hearts of many.
However, the girl before him now wore an alluring makeup yet possessed eyes that were clear and pure, resembling beautiful black gemstones that shimmered with light.
Her gaze was like a crystal-clear spring, devoid of any impurities—so refreshing, sweet, and pure…
This revelation left Beautiful Youth somewhat astonished. After all, it was his first time encountering such a striking beauty who embodied both allure and innocence.
Indeed, as Aqing had said, this girl's beauty surpassed even that of the palace's consorts!
While Beautiful Youth marveled internally at her beauty, his unabashed gaze caused Leng Yixuan to furrow his handsome brows slightly. He then shifted his tall frame to completely block Beautiful Youth's line of sight.
Beautiful Youth noticed the flicker in Phoenix Eyes, and immediately understood something. His handsome face revealed no hint of displeasure; instead, Phoenix Eyes swept over to Leng Yixuan, who was protectively cradling Xin'er like a hen with her chicks.
From a distance, it was clear that this person possessed extraordinary grace and demeanor, indicating he was no ordinary individual.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that this man was even more remarkable than he had initially imagined.
When did the Celestial Yuan Dynasty have such an outstanding figure?! How could he have been unaware of this!?
As Beautiful Youth pondered, his gaze shifted away from Leng Yixuan. With a slight parting of his Red Lips, he spoke.
"I saved you just now, and all you can say is thank you? That's quite insincere, don't you think?"
Though Xin'er was nestled protectively in Leng Yixuan's embrace, Beautiful Youth directed his words at her. Understanding this, Xin'er quickly peeked out from behind Leng Yixuan's broad Chest, her small head emerging with a look of confusion as she timidly asked,
"Then, how would you like me to repay you, my lord?"
Xin'er fidgeted with her hands, feeling puzzled and anxious.
Unbeknownst to her, her timid demeanor resembled that of an adorable and innocent little rabbit, endearing to those around her.
Seeing this, a fleeting expression of surprise and complexity crossed Beautiful Youth's eyes. He raised his Elegant Brows slightly and replied,
"I haven't thought of it yet; you'll know in due time!"
With that, the Handsome Young Man turned to the side and called out to the Blue-Clad Youth beside him.
"Aqing, let's go."
"Yes."
Immediately, the Handsome Young Man took his Page Boy and swiftly left Xin'er's line of sight.
Watching the two of them disappear, Xin'er slowly withdrew her gaze, feeling puzzled.
Why did this young man speak so strangely, as if they would meet again in the future?
Moreover, they didn't even know each other; if he wanted to find her later to repay this favor, he wouldn't be able to locate her, right!?
Xin'er thought to herself, feeling that the boy was merely being polite. She figured they probably wouldn't meet again.
However, life is unpredictable; how could she have foreseen what was to come!?
As Xin'er pondered, she suddenly felt a burning gaze upon her. Startled, she quickly lifted her Beautiful Eyes to look at the handsome face above her.
She happened to meet Leng Yixuan's dark expression.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt a chill run down her spine.
Uh-oh, why is he angry again!?
Xin'er felt helpless; she dreaded it when Xuan was upset. Her Little Face fell immediately as she put on a pitiful and timid expression. She tugged gently at the man's sleeve with her small hand and whispered softly.
"Xuan, are you angry!?"
Xin'er asked cautiously, her tone laced with trepidation.
Leng Yixuan, seeing this, felt that no matter how great his anger was, he couldn't bear to stay mad any longer.
In the end, Leng Yixuan could only let out a helpless sigh. He then slightly bent down and picked up Xin'er in a gentle embrace.
"Ah!" Xin'er exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Leng Yixuan's neck.
Her delicate face showed a hint of fluster.
As she met Leng Yixuan's mischievous Deep Black Eyes, her cheeks flushed red, and she shot him a playful glare.
At this sight, all of Leng Yixuan's anger vanished into thin air.
He lifted his handsome face and laughed heartily towards the sky.
While laughing, he held Xin'er tightly and strode towards the carriage.
Xin'er felt incredibly shy about it all.
After all, she knew many people around here. Now, being seen by others as Leng Yixuan carried her away—oh dear! Wouldn't they laugh at her!?
Thinking of this, Xin'er's little face turned crimson as she buried it deeply into Leng Yixuan's chest.
In response, Leng Yixuan let out an even more joyful laugh...
...
"Boss Leng, Miss Xin'er has only sprained her ankle; it's nothing serious. With some medicine applied, she'll be fine in a couple of days."
In the White Jade Pavilion, Dr. Cui was packing his medical kit while speaking to Leng Yixuan, who stood by the bed.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan nodded at Dr. Cui and instructed Lu Fu to go out and gather some herbs.
Thus, in the room, only Xin'er and Leng Yixuan remained.
At that moment, Xin'er sat on the bed, quietly examining the injury on her foot.
She hadn't felt much pain earlier, but when Dr. Cui had adjusted her ankle, it had hurt terribly. Now, her ankle still tingled with a slight sting!
So, Xin'er reached down and gently massaged her ankle to ease the discomfort.
Just then, she felt the bed sink slightly. Turning her head, Xin'er looked at the man sitting beside her.
"Xuan?"
"Does it still hurt?" Leng Yixuan asked as he extended his long hand and slowly placed it over Xin'er's injured ankle, gently massaging it.
His large hand was broad and strong, with long fingers, yet his touch was incredibly gentle, as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world. This made Xin'er’s heart flutter.
A wave of shyness washed over her.
Her face flushed warm, and Xin'er slowly lowered her rosy little face, shaking her head at Leng Yixuan as she replied softly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan's hands, which had been kneading, suddenly paused.
Xin'er, noticing this, looked up in confusion and happened to meet the man's intense gaze from his deep black eyes.
His eyes were so focused and unwavering that it left Xin'er puzzled.
"Xuan, what's wrong?"
"Xin'er, from now on, you must never lie to me again!"
The man's voice was low and hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable firmness that left no room for argument.
Hearing this, Xin'er felt a jolt in her heart but still nodded obediently, presenting a calm and serene demeanor.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan's previously resolute gaze softened slightly before he asked again.
"Does your foot still hurt?"
At the sound of his words, Xin'er gently bit her lower lip and then nodded lightly, whispering,
"A little bit."
"Just a little bit?"
Leng Yixuan pressed on.
In response to his earnest inquiry, Xin'er smiled and replied.
"Yes, it really was just a little bit. It hurt a lot at first, but after Xuan helped me massage it, it really doesn't hurt as much anymore..."
"Hehe..."
Seeing Xin'er smile gently, her charm radiating, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but smile back. He resumed massaging Xin'er with a steady hand.
Leng Yixuan's movements were just right, as if he were a professional.
Heaven knows this was actually the first time he had done something like this!
In the past, even when he was injured, he would never have done such a thing. But for this Young Lady before him, her pain felt more intense to him than his own!
So after massaging Xin'er for nearly half an hour, Leng Yixuan finally slowed down and stopped.
He looked up and asked, "How does it feel now?"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's question, Xin'er gently rubbed her injured ankle and then slowly broke into a serene and gentle smile as she replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore, really!"
Fearing that Leng Yixuan might not believe her, Xin'er quickly emphasized her words.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan's red lips curled into a charming smile that instantly lit up his handsome face, making anyone who saw him feel their heart flutter.
As for Xin'er, she was captivated by the charming smile of the man.
Her delicate face froze for a moment, and her heart began to race violently...
Within her heart, a sudden wave of excitement surged forth...
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan's smile deepened.
Then, as if recalling something, he spoke to Xin'er.
"Xin'er, close your eyes."
"Huh? Close my eyes!?"
Xin'er blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion at Leng Yixuan's words and asked.
Noticing her bewilderment, Leng Yixuan repeated himself.
"Yes, just close your eyes."
"Okay."
Although she didn't know what Leng Yixuan intended to do, Xin'er obediently closed her eyes.
Even though she couldn't see anything after closing them, she could feel that the man seemed to be placing something around her neck.
Curiosity bubbled within Xin'er, but she still chose not to open her eyes.
It wasn't until a moment later that the unique, low and charming voice of the man reached her ears.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now."
At his words, Xin'er slightly trembled her long eyelashes and then opened her bright, shimmering beautiful eyes, looking down at her neck.
When she saw the Diamond Necklace adorning her neck, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up even more.
"Oh my! It's so beautiful!"
Xin'er exclaimed.
The Diamond Necklace around her neck was crafted from crystal and platinum, with a heart-shaped pendant made from a single crystal at its center.
So exquisitely crafted and stunningly beautiful, the crystal emitted a dazzling light that seemed to encapsulate the radiance of heaven and earth, making it breathtaking!
From the very first glance at the Diamond Necklace, Xin'er fell deeply in love with it. After all, which girl could resist such a beautiful gem!?
Leng Yixuan could see the surprise in Xin'er's expression and understood her feelings. He couldn't help but ask,
"Do you like it?"
"Yes, I really like it!" Xin'er replied with a smile, but the smile only lasted a moment. Then, as if recalling something, she timidly asked,
"But this Chain must be very expensive! I can't accept it; you should return it!"
Although Xin'er knew that Leng Yixuan was incredibly wealthy, she felt embarrassed to accept something from him out of the blue. Moreover, while she didn't understand gemstones, she could tell at a glance that it must be worth a fortune!
She was just a lowly maid; how could she accept such an expensive gift?
Furthermore, this man had treated her exceptionally well.
He had saved her brother's life, and he had kindly taken her in. Although he called her his personal maid, she understood that her treatment here was very good.
She had a comfortable place to live, nice clothes to wear, delicious food to eat, and quality items to use.
It was precisely because things were so good that she felt somewhat uneasy.
So how could she possibly accept something so valuable from him now!?
Thinking of this, Xin'er reached up to take the Diamond Necklace off her neck to return it to Leng Yixuan.
However, her action was stopped by Leng Yixuan with a firm hand.
"Don't take it off. This Chain was specially made for you; it belongs only to you. So just wear it, okay?"
His voice was slightly hoarse yet low and charming, but his tone was resolute.
Hearing this, Xin'er furrowed her brows, still hesitant.
"But this Chain is just too precious..."
Seeing Xin'er's troubled expression, Leng Yixuan's deep black eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke again, his tone somewhat subdued.
"If you don't want it, then I'll just throw it away!"
With that, he reached out to take the Chain from Xin'er's neck to toss it aside.
Seeing this, Xin'er panicked and quickly stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Wait, I'll wear it!" she exclaimed, fearing that Leng Yixuan would really discard the precious Chain. After all, it was such a valuable item, and throwing it away would be a shame.
Moreover, she genuinely liked this Chain very much!
Thinking this, Xin'er lowered her head, her eyes downcast as she picked up the Diamond Pendant and examined it closely.
Thus, she naturally did not notice the fleeting glimmer of cunning in Leng Yixuan's eyes.
As Xin'er continued to scrutinize the Heart-Shaped Pendant in her hand, she suddenly seemed to recall something and asked in confusion, "Why did you have someone make a heart-shaped pendant?"
Although the pendant was incredibly beautiful, a heart shape...
At this thought, Xin'er felt a vague understanding but dared not delve deeper into it.
Leng Yixuan's gaze remained fixed on Xiner's face, easily guessing her thoughts. A slight smile curved his attractive lips as he opened his mouth to speak.
"This heart-shaped pendant represents my heart. Do you understand now?"
The man's voice was hoarse and deep, carrying an indescribable emotional weight.
It was like a fine wine, its intoxicating aroma filling the air the moment the bottle was opened, leaving one tipsy even before taking a sip...
When Xin'er heard his words, her mind went blank with a loud 'bang,' and she stood there in a daze.
Although she had vaguely guessed something earlier, she hadn't dared to confirm it. But now, hearing it come from his lips, she could be a hundred percent certain.
He liked her!?
Oh my god!?
How could this be!?
She was just a lowly maid, without a mother and with a father who didn't care for her. How could he possibly like her!?
With this thought, Xin'er still couldn't bring herself to believe it.
Moreover, facing the man's affectionate gaze made her heart race, leaving her feeling increasingly flustered.
"This... this..."
Xin'er stammered, her heart feeling as if it were in a chaotic whirlwind.
After all, it was the first time a man had ever said such things to her!
Now, how should she respond!?
Thinking of this, Xin'er panicked.
A wave of heat surged from her heart to the top of her head, making her ears burn and her face feel like it was on fire.
Even without looking in a mirror, she knew that at this moment, her face must be as red as a monkey's bottom!
So, Xin'er immediately lowered her little face, not daring to look at the man's face or his focused, burning gaze.
His gaze was too intense and passionate for her to accept at that moment!
Her hands, pressed against her abdomen, twisted together in a tangle.
Seeing the girl before him blushing furiously yet looking utterly flustered, Leng Yixuan's deep black eyes flickered slightly.
Then he reached out his large hand and placed it over Xin'er's tangled hands, speaking softly.
"You don't have to say anything right now; I understand. However, I will wait for you! No matter how long it takes!"
Leng Yixuan's tone was firm, and his gaze toward Xin'er was filled with determination.
After all, this bride was someone he had set his sights on since childhood.
He had seen everything about her when they were young; did she really think she could avoid responsibility?
Recalling the events of her childhood, Leng Yixuan remained vividly in her mind, his lips curved into a gentle and pleasant smile.
The gaze he directed at Xin'er was filled with an indescribable tenderness and affection.
Upon hearing the man's words, Xin'er simply lowered her small head.
After all, she truly didn't know what to say at that moment.
Moreover, she had yet to process the sudden news!
However, just as Xin'er was lost in thought, she felt her chin being gently lifted.
Before long, she found herself staring into Leng Yixuan's strikingly handsome face, which was adorned with a captivating smile.
His deep black eyes were narrow and beautiful, filled with a tenderness that nearly drowned her in its depths, making it impossible for her to escape…
Seeing the astonishment and infatuation reflected in Xin'er's eyes brought immense satisfaction to Leng Yixuan. A smirk appeared on his lips as he let out a voice that was both seductive and husky—
"However, right now, Xin'er, I want to kiss you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips descended precisely upon the young girl's rosy small mouth…
