Wrapped in a meticulously crafted Snow White Silk Robe, the man’s figure appeared lanky and tall. Two delicate Magnolias intertwined at his chest, while a Silver Gem-Studded belt cinched his waist, accentuating the fine Sheep Fat Jade it held.
On his feet were black shoes embroidered with a Cloud Pattern.
This ensemble made him look elegant and striking, exuding an unparalleled charm.
Xin'er rarely saw Leng Yixuan dressed in such light colors.
Usually, he wore dark clothing—black or purple—that gave him a somewhat cold and aloof demeanor.
Thus, seeing Leng Yixuan in this attire felt refreshing to Xin'er, bringing a spark of delight to her eyes.
With beautiful eyes filled with wonder, Xin'er’s heart leaped at the sight of him.
Her gaze slowly traveled up his tall frame until it rested on his face.
At that moment, it was early morning; however, the summer sun had already begun to emit its scorching warmth, casting its rays across the land.
The Golden Sunshine made everything appear vibrant, dazzling, and full of life.
There stood Renli beside the carriage, hands clasped behind him, illuminated by the sunlight and a gentle breeze.
His jet-black hair shone like silk, adorned with an exquisite Jade Crown atop his head, while the rest cascaded down his back, highlighting his face—features as finely chiseled as if crafted from precious jade.
His sword-like brows framed bright eyes, complemented by a straight nose and sculpted lips.
No matter from which angle one looked, it was perfectly astonishing.
However, what captivated Xin'er the most was the way the man gazed at her, his clear and gentle eyes.
His Deep Black Eyes were narrow and profound, like a deep pool or fine wine, concealing an unmistakable tenderness that made her feel as if she were drowning in the soft affection reflected in his gaze.
The moment she laid eyes on him, Xin'er's heart felt as if it had been filled with honey, sweet and delightful.
Her heartbeat quickened, thumping loudly in her chest.
Soon, a wave of warmth surged from her heart to her head, causing her delicate cheeks to flush with heat.
Even without looking in a mirror, Xin'er knew her face must be red.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shyly lower her gaze.
She focused on the path ahead and slowly walked toward the carriage.
In contrast to the bashful Xin'er, Leng Yixuan felt as though he could not tear his gaze away from her the moment he saw her.
At that moment, Xin'er appeared to him like a fairy untouched by the mortal world.
Dressed in a fitted gown of white silk that accentuated her well-developed figure, she looked ethereal.
Her dark hair was styled into an exquisite bun, adorned with a beautiful White Magnolia Hairpin that complemented the Magnolia design on her gown perfectly.
The delicate features of the Little Face were enhanced by a light touch of rouge, adding an indescribable elegance and the charm befitting a young woman.
Her eyes sparkled like water, her beauty was heavenly, her figure was slender and graceful, her skin as smooth as cream, and her lips resembled cherry blossoms, exuding an air of exquisite delicacy.
As he gazed at the Young Lady before him, who possessed a hint of allure yet retained an unpretentious grace, Leng Yixuan was utterly captivated.
"Xin'er, you look truly beautiful today!"
The man's voice was deep and pleasant.
When it reached Xin'er's ears, it sent a thrill through her heart, and the Little Face blossomed with a shy yet joyful smile.
Knowing that Xin'er had a delicate complexion, Leng Yixuan merely smiled. When Xin'er approached him, he did not call for the driver; instead, he reached out and effortlessly lifted her petite frame into the carriage.
He quickly followed her into the carriage.
Once Xin'er settled inside, Beautiful Eyes scanned the interior of the carriage.
Inside, the floor and walls were covered with thick silk cushions.
Sitting on them felt soft and comfortable, making it easy to forget any bumps along the way.
In the carriage, there was a Rosewood Carved Flower Table adorned with a plate of exquisite pastries, tea, and several books.
After entering the carriage, Leng Yixuan immediately sat beside Xin'er and reached for the pastries on the table, speaking to her.
"Are you hungry? Have some snacks first. We still have more to deal with once we enter the palace!"
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er nodded and, feeling no need to be polite, reached out to grab a piece of pastry and took a bite.
After all, she had woken up early that day, and in order to avoid delaying their entrance to the palace, she hadn't eaten much. After bathing and getting dressed, she spent an hour being attended to by Xiao Huan and the others for her makeup. Now, her stomach was rumbling with hunger!
Moreover, the pastries in front of her were her favorites.
Knowing that these treats were thoughtfully prepared for her by Leng Yixuan made Xin'er feel even more grateful.
After taking a bite herself, she immediately picked up another piece of pastry and held it up to Leng Yixuan's mouth, saying, "Xuan, you should eat too."
"Mm, okay."
Although she wasn't particularly fond of sweets, Leng Yixuan wouldn't refuse since it was Xin'er feeding him.
He took a bite of the pastry and, in doing so, caught Xiner's small hand in his. His warm tongue slowly licked her delicate fingertip, which felt like smooth jade.
Feeling the warmth of his tongue on her fingertip startled Xin'er, causing her to gasp and instinctively try to pull her hand back.
However, his large hand gripped hers tightly like a vice. Though it didn’t hurt her at all, it restrained her hand in such a way that she couldn't escape.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt both shy and flustered. Her beautiful eyes glimmered with embarrassment as she cast a lingering glance at Leng Yixuan and exclaimed softly.
"Xuan, please don't do that..."
"Hehe, who told Xin'er to be so sweet and charming, making my heart race? If I could, I would just want to devour you whole..."
Leng Yixuan said this very bluntly, causing Xin'er to lower her shy gaze, too embarrassed to meet the man's eyes.
Because his gaze was so intense, like a starving beast ready to swallow her whole.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt a mix of shyness and trepidation.
When Leng Yixuan noticed Xin'er's bashful demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a bit rogue, like a scoundrel.
But so what?
Every man enjoys being a bit mischievous in front of his Favorite Woman, right!?
Leng Yixuan thought happily to himself.
Moreover, there was a reason for his behavior.
Ever since he told Xin'er that he would take her into the palace in a month, she had been extremely anxious.
He understood her tension and worries, so he kept trying to comfort and reassure her, yet Xin'er remained very nervous.
Especially now, so Leng Yixuan decided to find ways to distract her attention.
“Xin'er.”
The man spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er couldn't help but look up slightly, meeting the man's dark eyes.
Whether it was the lighting or something else, at that moment, the man's eyes were as dark as night, yet held a hint of exquisite color that made one unable to resist being drawn in, lost in their depths.
And then there was the man's handsome face, so close before her.
His features were sharply defined, strikingly beautiful like a deity, with an elegance that captivated her gaze and stirred her heart.
Seeing this, Xin'er felt her heart race uncontrollably, and in her ears, she could hear the man's slightly hoarse voice.
“I’m really very happy.”
As he spoke these words, his face, eyes, and brow were all filled with gentle joy, radiating his happiness and excitement.
At this sight, Xin'er felt a stir in her heart; her brows softened, and with her red lips curving into a smile, she replied,
“Xuan, I’m very happy too!”
The girl smiled lightly, like cherry blossoms just blooming on a December branch—so delicate and enchanting.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan felt a wave of emotion wash over him. He reached out a finger and gently brushed it against Xin'er's cheek, softly caressing her skin.
Feeling the incredibly smooth skin made Leng Yixuan fall deeper in love, his heart filled with astonishment.
Thinking about the girl before him, who had already agreed to his proposal and was soon to be his wife, Leng Yixuan felt a surge of excitement within.
"Xin'er, do you know that having you in this life makes everything complete for me? As long as you are by my side, I feel so happy!"
As Leng Yixuan spoke, he reached out with his large hand and pulled Xin'er into his embrace.
Feeling the warmth and softness in his arms made Leng Yixuan's heart swell with affection; all he wanted was to protect the little one in his arms and love her dearly for all eternity.
His gaze towards Xin'er was filled with tenderness and indulgence.
How could Xin'er, held tightly in the man's embrace, not feel the love he had for her?
Seeing this, Xin'er felt even more moved.
Her beautiful eyes lifted to meet Leng Yixuan's gaze, sparkling and clear, filled with shyness and an undeniable affection.
Her red lips parted as she spoke.
"Xuan, I feel the same. With you by my side, I also feel so happy!"
"Hehe... then from now on, we shall never part again. Hand in hand, we will grow old together..."
Leng Yixuan gently spoke each word, savoring the moment.
However, the promise in his words was so firm and sincere.
The large hand that had been tightly gripping Xin'er slowly intertwined with her small fingers...
Watching their hands entwined, Xin'er felt a warmth in her heart.
She couldn't help but look at the man before her and nodded affirmatively.
"In this lifetime, as long as you don't abandon me, I will never leave Xuan!"
Xin'er's voice was soft, but to Leng Yixuan's ears, it carried more weight than a thousand words.
"Ha ha, good, Xin'er. I will remember this. In this lifetime, you can rest assured to be my Lady Leng, staying by my side forever, giving birth to our children, never parting!"
As he spoke, Leng Yixuan tightened his grip on Xin'er's hand, their fingers locked together.
The two gazed into each other's eyes, filled with deep affection...
