The man's kiss was gentle and passionate.
His moist tongue traced the delicate outline of the girl's lips, gradually devouring them, plunging deep into her mouth, sweeping through her sweetness, and finally entangling with her tender little Lilac...
At first, Xin'er was startled by the man's kiss, but his tenderness quickly calmed her.
It was nothing like the wild and rough kiss from before.
This gentle kiss licked and caressed her so carefully, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, making her heart race...
What began as resistance gradually melted away like spring water, softening in the man's embrace...
Her mind felt hazy, and her body light, as if she were floating in a sea of clouds, causing Xin'er to forget what day it was...
It wasn't until a long while later, when Xin'er was nearly out of breath, that the man reluctantly pulled away from her lips, panting heavily.
His long, deep-set eyes were now filled with intense desire.
Looking at Xin'er, he seemed as if he wanted to devour her completely.
Yet he still tightly restrained himself, merely extending his tongue to gently peck at Xin'er's lips, which were now red and swollen from his kisses.
Feeling the softness beneath his lips was utterly intoxicating.
After all, this girl before him not only had a clear and sweet appearance but also possessed a Small Mouth that was unbelievably sweet. Her honey-like essence was like fine wine, drawing him in and making it impossible to escape...
In contrast to Leng Yixuan's intense gaze filled with desire, Xin'er gasped softly, her Cheeks flushed and her Eyes dreamy, still lost in the lingering warmth of their passionate kiss.
However, she remained completely unaware of how enchanting she appeared at that moment.
The night had deepened, and outside, the lights began to twinkle. The stars and moon were captivating, while a gentle evening breeze rustled through a magnolia tree. The snow-white petals floated gracefully from the open window, swirling lightly as they descended, resembling fairies in white gowns dancing the most mesmerizing ballet.
Accompanying this scene was the faint, elegant fragrance of magnolia.
Eventually, as the white petals fell, a few playfully landed on the girl’s long, black hair, enhancing her ethereal beauty.
Dressed in a striking red veil and silk skirt, the vibrant color was so eye-catching that it made her stunning figure even more alluring—a truly captivating sight.
Yet, contrasting sharply with her enchanting silhouette was her excessively pure and beautiful little face.
This little face was radiant and elegant; even the bold makeup could not erase the aura of innocence that surrounded her.
The girl before me was like a crystal-clear spring, untouched by any impurities!
Her beauty evoked a deep sense of pity from within.
At this moment, with a shy and playful expression on her face, her eyes were dreamy and her lips slightly swollen, making it impossible for anyone to resist feeling tenderly towards her...
If possible, Leng Yixuan wished he could sweep this girl off her feet and cherish her deeply. However...
Recalling how he had been too hasty last time and frightened this young lady to the point where she viewed him as a terrifying beast filled him with bitterness.
So now, no matter how much he wanted to embrace her completely, he could only suppress his desires and slowly rise from the bed.
As Xin'er bounced on the bed, she slowly regained her senses. The first thing she saw was the handsome face of the man, his desires still lingering but tinged with a hint of helpless affection.
"Take a good rest for the next couple of days and focus on healing your foot. I'll have Afu take care of everything else, understood?"
His voice was rough yet soothing, a blend of warmth and authority.
Hearing this, Xin'er felt a rush of embarrassment wash over her. In the end, she lowered her little face, her eyes filled with emotion as she gently nodded in response.
A wave of gratitude surged within her.
Though she didn't fully understand the complexities between men and women, she could see from the man's expression that he was holding back for her sake...
With this thought, Xin'er couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This man truly was remarkable...
Unbeknownst to Leng Yixuan, who was oblivious to Xin'er's thoughts, he merely noticed her bashful demeanor—her head bowed, cheeks flushed—like a shy little bride waiting for her husband on their wedding night. She looked both adorable and pitiful.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan, who had intended to leave, couldn't resist bending down and stealing a kiss on Xin'er's cheek, causing her to blush even deeper.
"Haha..."
Watching Xin'er cover her face like a little white rabbit, shy and demure, filled Leng Yixuan with immense joy.
The hearty laughter came from deep within, a sound so genuine.
How long had it been since he had laughed like this?
Since stepping into the business world, he had faced nothing but cunning old foxes. Though they smiled, their smiles rarely reached their eyes.
Those smiles were merely superficial.
However, ever since he met this Young Lady, Leng Yixuan found himself laughing more often.
Xin'er was unaware of this; she could only watch the man laugh heartily, feeling so shy that she wanted to burrow into the ground.
In the end, unable to resist, she lay on her bed and pulled the covers over herself.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan laughed heartily but understood that Xin'er was bashful. He didn’t linger and walked away with a smile.
As his laughter faded into the distance, Xin'er, who had been hiding under the covers, slowly poked her blushing little head out.
Looking at the tightly shut Carved Wooden Door, a sweet smile crept onto her delicate Little Face as her Red Lips curled slightly in a charming grin...
Due to her foot injury, the task of attending to Leng Yixuan fell to Lü Fu.
Lü Fu had always been serving Leng Yixuan, but after Xin'er arrived, she took over his duties.
Now, with Xin'er's foot injury still not healed, she spent all day in bed.
Perhaps accustomed to being busy, Xin'er couldn't stand lying in bed for even a moment; she constantly sought something to do.
Initially, she planned to secretly help Lü Fu by cleaning the tables and chairs, but when Leng Yixuan discovered her, she ordered her back to her room. However, feeling stifled and having slept too much, Xin'er found herself unable to sleep anymore.
In the end, Leng Yixuan could not resist her pitiful pleas and had no choice but to carry her to the study, allowing her to sit there and practice her calligraphy.
Meanwhile, Leng Yixuan continued as usual, sitting at the desk to review accounts and calculations.
For a moment, the study was quiet.
Outside, the sun shone beautifully, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of magnolia, refreshing the spirit.
However, for some reason, on this tranquil afternoon, Xin'er's heart could not settle down.
Holding a brush in her right hand, she hesitated and did not write a single character.
Her gaze had been fixed on the handsome man engrossed in his work since she entered the study.
She had always known that he was exceptionally good-looking, but perhaps it was due to his heartfelt confession yesterday that her eyes kept drifting toward him involuntarily.
The more she looked at him, the more stunning he appeared.
Whether he was immersed in work or furrowing his brows in thought, he was undeniably captivating, so attractive that one couldn't help but stare.
His eyebrows were thick and angled, like blades, complemented by a nose that was sharply defined. His long, dense eyelashes framed deep black eyes filled with wisdom and mystery, while his lips were thin and beautifully shaped, slightly pressed together.
As Xin'er gazed at him, she gradually became entranced.
Time passed without her noticing until a voice, tinged with amusement, suddenly broke the silence beside her.
"Am I good-looking?"
"Uh..."
Startled by the unexpected voice, Xin'er snapped back to reality. When she saw the handsome face that had somehow come so close, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Her body instinctively leaned back.
Fortunately, she was sitting on a Rosewood stool; otherwise, with her sudden retreat, she would have surely fallen again.
The man noticed her startled expression and couldn't help but smile brightly.
"What were you doing just now? Were you secretly watching me?"
He asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely taken aback.
Her mind was in a chaotic whirl.
Oh no!
How embarrassing! He actually caught her! Was it that obvious that she was stealing glances?
Xin'er felt her cheeks flush with heat, and in her mortification, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to hide in.
However, the man showed no intention of letting her escape. Instead, he reached out his large hand and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes, leaving her nowhere to hide as he asked again.
"You still haven't answered my question! Why have you been sneaking glances at me?"
"Uh, well..."
Seeing his relentless demeanor, it seemed he was determined to get an answer, which made Xin'er feel both flustered and embarrassed.
After all, she didn't even know what was happening to her. All day long, her gaze had been uncontrollably drawn to him.
Moreover, the more she looked, the more captivated she became, and before she knew it, she couldn't tear her eyes away.
Now that he had discovered her secret, it was truly mortifying and awkward!
So for a moment, Xin'er stammered without knowing how to respond.
Her delicate face grew increasingly flushed, until even the tips of her ears turned red.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan smiled, a grin that carried a hint of mischief, making his features even more captivating.
"Heh heh, silly girl, you don’t need to say anything. I already know."
At his words, Xin'er froze in surprise.
He already knew!? Knew what!?
Xin'er felt a bit dazed, but at least she didn’t have to say anything now, which relieved her.
Seeing her reaction, the man smiled even wider, his gaze toward her filled with an unmistakable affection.
With a gentle flick of his finger, he playfully tapped her delicate nose and said, "Come on, let’s go eat!"
...
Two days passed, and Xin'er’s foot had healed.
However, Leng Yixuan was concerned for her; he feared that once she was better, she would start bustling about, cleaning and tidying up.
Though it was just light work, when he held her small hand and felt the roughness of her palm, a pang of heartache surged within him.
After all, someone as pure and vibrant as her deserved to be cherished properly.
Thus, Leng Yixuan ordered that from now on, the cleaning duties of the White Jade Pavilion would be assigned to Lu Fu, while the tasks of assisting with changing clothes and bathing would be entrusted to Xin'er.
When Xin'er heard this news, she was immediately taken aback.
After all, ever since the incident during the last clothing change, it had been Lu Fu who attended to Leng Yixuan's daily changing and bathing needs.
This time, however, there was a change, and it was a significant one...
So when Xin'er learned about this matter, she became anxious and hurriedly grabbed Lu Fu, who had come to inform her, with a worried expression on her face.
"Brother Afu, is what you said true!? He... really wants me to serve him for bathing and changing every day!? This... this shouldn't be... I'm just a girl..."
The last sentence came out as a whisper, and her delicate little face quickly flushed with embarrassment, making her look even more charming.
Lu Fu, watching from the side, felt his heart flutter.
After all, who doesn't love beauty!?
Although Lu Fu already had a wife at home, he couldn't help but feel a slight stir in his heart upon seeing such a lovely girl.
However, he also knew that this young lady was someone he should not entertain thoughts about.
After all, in the entire residence, everyone knew that this girl held a very special place in their master's heart.
Perhaps one day they would have to start calling her "Madam"!
In the past, Lu Fu had always been polite to Xin'er. At this moment, seeing Xin'er's face filled with frustration, he could only smile and say, "What I said is naturally true. After all, who would dare to speak nonsense about their own master's affairs? However, Xin'er, you must understand that in other Noble Families, it is quite common for maids to serve their masters. So go ahead and do it boldly; this is because the master holds you in high regard!"
After saying this, Lu Fu mentioned that he had matters to attend to and hurriedly left.
Seeing this, Xin'er could only let out a helpless sigh.
However, there was no way around it now. Since it was Xuān's request, she couldn't refuse, could she?
Thinking this, Xin'er turned and walked towards the library.
She hadn't visited Xiao Huan in the past few days, and since Xuān was out today and wouldn't return until evening, Xin'er decided to find Xiao Huan and help her organize some books.
After all, she had been idle these days, only practicing her calligraphy.
Although she loved practicing writing, her current identity as a maid made her feel uneasy about not doing any work every day.
Thus, Xin'er headed towards the library.
Little did she know that just as she reached the corner, a figure suddenly darted out. Caught off guard, Xin'er collided directly with the person rushing towards her.
"Ah!" The two exclaimed simultaneously as Xin'er was knocked down to the ground by the force of the impact.
Fortunately, the ground was covered with grass; however, falling to the ground still hurt a lot.
For a moment, Xin'er was still in shock.
Until suddenly, a voice of disbelief rang out in front of her—
"Xin'er, is that really you!?"
"Uh?!"
Originally wincing in pain, Xin'er immediately froze upon hearing that voice, instantly forgetting about her discomfort.
Because that voice was so familiar, it felt like—
"Hey, Brother Niu, is that you!?"
When she finally saw the man in front of her, Xin'er's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
After all, she truly hadn't expected to see Brother Niu here.
Speaking of Brother Niu, she was very familiar with him; he was her childhood playmate.
Thinking back to those years after her mother passed away, it had been difficult for a twelve-year-old girl like her to support herself, especially with a two-year-old child by her side.
At that time, her mother harbored resentment towards her father, so even though life was tough, she never sought help from him. Instead, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
However, aside from her brother, she had no other relatives.
Yet, her neighbors, the Aunts, took great care of her.
Seeing how pitiful the two siblings were, they would help whenever they could, even though they themselves were poor.
That was why she managed to hold on during the toughest times.
Brother Niu had also looked after her very well over the years.
Whenever there was something good to eat at home, he would bring it for her and her brother.
He would also share interesting stories about fun things happening outside.
As time went by, they became very familiar with each other.
Gradually, she began to see him as an older brother.
So now, seeing Brother Niu in the grand mansion, Xin'er felt a sense of warmth.
A brilliant smile instantly blossomed on her delicate little face.
What she didn’t realize was just how beautiful her smile was.
Dressed in white like snow and with hair as dark as silk, that jade-like little face radiated a dazzling joy. Her bright eyes sparkled with kindness, and her red lips revealed white teeth, resembling a budding Azure Lotus in a morning Lotus Pond—elegant, pure, and captivatingly lovely.
A-Niu was just a seventeen-year-old boy, and everyone around knew about his feelings for Xin'er. Yet, only Xin'er regarded him as an older brother.
Now, seeing Xin'er smile at him with a radiant face, A-Niu felt like the happiest man in the world!
He began to float in bliss, completely forgetting what day it was!
A silly grin spread across his dark face, looking quite naive.
After a moment, as if realizing something, A-Niu snapped back to reality and immediately reached out to place his hand on Xin'er’s shoulder. He anxiously turned her around, examining her from head to toe while asking frantically.
“Xin'er, are you hurt? Let Brother Niu take a look! I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to earlier!”
A-Niu spoke hurriedly, his innocent face filled with guilt and concern.
After all, Xin'er was the girl he had liked for a long time. If she were hurt, he would rather take the injury upon himself!
While A-Niu was anxiously worrying inside, Xin'er felt a faint pain in her body. However, not wanting to upset A-Niu, she smiled and shook her head lightly.
“No, Brother Niu, don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“Really?!”
“Yes, of course it’s true.”
Fearing that A-Niu wouldn’t believe her, Xin'er quickly nodded affirmatively.
A-Niu felt a weight lift from his heart upon seeing this.
At that moment, he realized that his hands were resting on Xin'er's shoulder.
Although it was unintentional, after all, there was a saying about propriety between men and women.
So, once A-Niu came to his senses, he immediately withdrew his hands from Xin'er's shoulder. A rare blush crept onto his otherwise dark face, making him look quite comical with his black and red complexion.
"Uh, Xin'er, just now, Brother Niu didn't mean to..."
Even though A-Niu was thrilled to be so close to Xin'er, he feared that she might be upset!
After all, there was a saying about propriety between men and women, wasn't there!?
However, upon hearing A-Niu's words, Xin'er thought he was feeling guilty about bumping into her earlier. She shook her head reassuringly and said, "Brother Niu, I'm really fine."
After a pause, as if recalling something important, Xin'er asked, "By the way, Brother Niu, why are you here?!"
A-Niu's thoughts were immediately diverted by her question. "Ah, well, you see, I mentioned some time ago that a Noble Family was hiring servants? I came here to apply for the position. To my surprise, I actually got accepted! I intended to come back and share this good news with you. But when I returned home, I learned from my mother about your situation. Xin'er, how is Xiao Bao doing? I heard from my mother that Xiao Bao fell from a tree and hurt his head badly. Didn't you go look for your father? Why are you here now?!"
Regarding the series of questions from A-Niu, Xin'er understood that A-Niu was concerned about her. While she felt touched, she also recounted everything that had happened recently.
However, when it came to the fact that Leng Yixuan liked her, the girl, being shy, naturally did not mention it. It was only after Leng Yixuan treated her well and brought her back as a personal maid that she began to realize it.
Moreover, after Xiao Bao was sent to Butterfly Valley, Leng Yixuan, fearing that she would worry about him, arranged for someone to report on his condition every two days.
Thus, Xin'er learned from those reports that Xiao Bao had already woken up and all the blood clots in his brain had been removed.
However, due to the severity of his injuries, he would need time to recuperate fully.
At that time, she wanted to plead with Leng Yixuan to take her to see Xiao Bao.
But Leng Yixuan said that the strange doctor was very peculiar and had a bad temper. Furthermore, the doctor did not like anyone disturbing him until he had fully treated a patient. If someone interrupted him before he was done, it could lead to disastrous consequences for the patient he had just managed to heal.
This was indeed a possibility!
Therefore, no matter how much Xin'er missed Xiao Bao, she did not dare to take that risk.
After all, Xiao Bao was her only brother in this world and her only family.
She did not want to lose the brother she had fought so hard to save due to her recklessness.
Upon hearing Xin'er's words, A-Niu felt a weight lift from her heart.
After all, during this time, he had been worried about Xin'er ever since he learned about her situation! Now that he finally saw Xin'er and heard that she had been doing well lately, A-Niu felt a great sense of relief.
Seeing this, Xin'er knew that A-Niu truly cared for her, and she felt immensely grateful in her heart.
Her delicate little face was filled with gratitude towards A-Niu, and as she lightly parted her red lips, she spoke.
"Brother Niu, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Haha, as long as you and Xiao Bao are fine, I’m relieved."
A-Niu chuckled heartily, scratching the back of his head in relief.
Upon seeing this, Xin'er couldn't help but smile lightly.
Then, as if recalling something, she asked, "Oh, by the way, what was the rush for just now, Brother Niu?"
As soon as Xin'er spoke, A-Niu's cheerful expression immediately fell. He looked as if disaster had struck and exclaimed in despair.
"Oh no! The head chef called me to do something, and I completely forgot! When I go back later, I'm definitely going to get scolded. Xin'er, I have to go now. I'll come find you when I have time!"
As A-Niu ran ahead, he turned back to wave goodbye to Xin'er.
Seeing this, Xin'er couldn't help but find it amusing.
The appearance of A-Niu had lifted her spirits considerably.
After all, in this vast mansion, seeing a familiar face felt incredibly comforting!
Reflecting on the recent days, she had been in a daze over the situation with Xiao Bao, feeling as if her entire world had collapsed. Now, however, it was as if she had been reborn.
Xiao Bao's injuries were gradually healing, and in a few days, she would be able to see the lively and adorable Xiao Bao again. Moreover, here she was with Brother Niu and had made quite a few new friends. Thinking about it made Xin'er feel that her days were becoming increasingly joyful.
How wonderful!
Xin'er felt delighted inside, and the smile on her lips never faded.
Until she caught sight of the tall figure of Lanky standing not far away from her. Xin'er's eyes brightened instantly, and without a second thought, she dashed toward him.
However, in her haste, Xin'er failed to notice the bump beneath her feet. Suddenly, pain shot through her foot, and with a startled cry of "Ah!" she stumbled forward.
Right in front of her stood Renli.
As Leng Yixuan securely caught the flying Young Lady, a smirk appeared on his lips as he chuckled.
"Is this your way of throwing yourself at me?!"
His voice was hoarse yet tinged with a magnetic quality that sent a shiver down one's spine.
Hearing this, Xin'er quickly lifted her head from his embrace and found herself staring into his teasing deep black eyes.
Seeing this, Xin'er’s delicate face flushed with a rosy hue, instantly lighting up her cheeks, making her look as beautiful as the peach blossoms in March—both charming and adorable!
Leng Yixuan's deep black eyes sparkled involuntarily as he tightened his embrace around Xin'er’s arm.
After all, how could he let go of such a lovely person!?
She was his! She would definitely be his!
As Leng Yixuan thought this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “Who was that man just now!?”
“Uh!?”
Upon hearing this, Xin'er was momentarily taken aback. After a pause, she realized that Leng Yixuan was referring to Brother Niu.
Thinking of Brother Niu made Xin'er feel joyful, and a radiant smile blossomed on her face once again.
Little did she know that this smile caused the man's handsome face to darken…
