As the sun set in the west, the seductive music from inside finally came to a halt.
At this moment, Xin'er felt as if her entire body was about to fall apart.
She was drenched in fragrant sweat, her hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed, breathing softly like an orchid, her eyes sparkling with allure, and a gentle fragrance wafting around her…
Their battlefield had shifted from the Dressing Table to the soft mattress of the large bed.
After a whole day of intense struggle, Xin'er was utterly exhausted.
Meanwhile, Leng Yixuan lay beside her like a satisfied lion after a hearty meal, holding Xin'er’s petite form tightly in his embrace.
Feeling the warmth and softness in his arms was so sweet and delightful that it was almost intoxicating.
He extended his long fingers to gently tuck away the strands of hair that clung to Xin'er's face. His deep black eyes were fixed intently on the young lady who was panting softly in his arms, filled with a profound sense of satisfaction.
"Xin'er, are you exhausted?!"
His voice was hoarse and low, incredibly pleasant to hear.
However, upon hearing his words, Xin'er shot him a fierce glance with her eyes.
After all, she was so tired that she barely had the strength to move a finger.
How could this man be so full of energy!?
She felt as if he had nearly worn her out completely.
Xin'er thought to herself, her gaze towards him filled with both playful annoyance and reproach.
However, she was unaware that her gaze, falling upon the man's eyes, carried an indescribable charm.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan's deep black eyes darkened slightly, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
"Xin'er, don't look at me like that. You're practically seducing me, you little temptress!"
Hearing the man's sultry words, Xin'er was startled and couldn't help but bury her face in the blanket, covering her head as she replied from within.
"Xuan, I'm not trying to seduce you. Besides, I'm really tired and hungry right now..."
Perhaps to validate her words, at that moment, Xin'er's stomach let out a loud grumble, clearly indicating that it was protesting against the empty state of her belly!
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He then reached out a hand and pulled down the blanket covering Xin'er's face, playfully pinching her little nose as he chuckled.
"Alright then, let's go eat."
With that said, Leng Yixuan quickly got out of bed. After getting dressed himself, he helped Xin'er put on her clothes.
After all, Xin'er had no strength to move at all; how could she dress herself?
However, Xin'er was used to doing things on her own. Being waited on by a man for dressing was something she wasn't accustomed to.
Especially when she looked down at her body, marked with countless dark and light lip prints; her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Particularly on her neck, there were several deep red marks that made Xin'er feel like she wanted to punch the man in front of her.
"Oh my god, my neck..."
Xin'er gasped, her face displaying a look of despair.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan merely shrugged, his expression indifferent as he said, "Your little neck looks great, especially with these marks; it makes it even better."
After all, with these marks, everyone would know she belonged to him, and no one could covet her anymore!
Thus, upon seeing the marks on Xin'er, Leng Yixuan felt quite pleased.
A smug smile crept onto his lips, resembling a fox that had successfully executed its cunning plan.
This only made Xin'er more irritable.
"Xuan, how can you say that? What do you expect me to do when I go out and meet people like this?"
She pointed angrily at the red marks on her neck as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixuan suppressed his amused laughter and replied, "Why can't you go out and meet people like this?"
"My neck is covered in red marks; anyone who sees them will know that I’m with you... with you..."
At this point, Xin'er didn’t know how to continue. Her face was flushed with both embarrassment and anger.
Seeing her reaction, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle softly at Xin'er.
"My Xin'er, you are truly adorable and so endearing!"
Leng Yixuan spoke honestly. After all, at this moment, the Young Lady had just transitioned from a girl to a woman, her face now adorned with the charm that only a woman possesses. Every movement she made was filled with grace and unparalleled beauty.
This stunning visage was enough to drive men and women alike into madness.
And he, Leng Yixuan, was indeed fortunate to have obtained such a precious treasure in this world.
Now, Xin'er was finally his, and it brought him immense joy.
He truly wanted to stand atop the highest peak in the world and shout out loud, declaring to everyone that Xin'er was his woman!
As Leng Yixuan thought this, his large hand gently cradled Xin'er's flushed yet shyly beautiful little face. Her deep black eyes shimmered with a myriad of complex emotions.
In those deep black eyes, there was gratitude, excitement, and deep affection. Such a gaze moved anyone who beheld it.
"Xin'er, you are now my woman. Later, I will speak to my father and Empress Mother, then choose an auspicious day to marry you. Will you agree?"
Upon hearing his words, Xin'er felt a rush of emotions.
Finally, she gently nodded and replied.
"Yes, I am willing."
Xin'er's voice was soft, yet it carried an unwavering determination and excitement.
After all, at this moment, her feelings of gratitude and excitement were no less than Leng Yixuan's.
She had always known how good this man was to her.
From the moment she met him, her world turned upside down.
Originally, her life was shrouded in darkness, but this man was a ray of light that brought her into the brightness.
If it weren't for him, she truly wouldn't know what her fate would be now.
Marrying him was something she had never dared to imagine, after all, he was so noble and exceptional.
Men like him were adored by many women, and those worthy of him were certainly from prestigious families, daughters of wealthy clans.
And she, what merit did she have to receive such deep affection from such an outstanding man?
So now, Xin'er felt like the happiest woman in the world.
"Xuan, I feel so happy right now, but I'm also afraid," Xin'er said softly.
After all, this happiness had come so smoothly that it filled her heart with a sense of fear and trepidation.
This unease slowly spiraled within her.
Perhaps this happiness made her too joyful, which is why she feared losing it!?
Xin'er thought to herself, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly reached out and playfully tapped her nose, laughing as he spoke.
"Silly girl, what are you afraid of!? I'll always be here for you! Even in death, I won't leave your side."
Hearing his resolute words, Xin'er couldn't help but nod, her heart gradually finding peace.
Perhaps she was just overthinking everything!?
……
After a full day and night of intense battle, Xin'er was so hungry she could eat a whole cow.
Usually, Xin'er didn't eat much, but at that moment, upon seeing the table full of delicious dishes, she wasted no time and quickly began to eat with her bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing this different side of Xin'er, Leng Yixuan felt both amused and guilty.
It seemed it was all his fault for being so reckless. From now on, whenever they were going to do that kind of thing, he had to make sure to feed her well first; only then would she have the energy to participate. Hehe...
Leng Yixuan's mind was filled with mischievous thoughts, while Xin'er remained completely unaware. If she knew, she would surely be furious.
Finally, after finishing three bowls of rice and a variety of dishes, Xin'er set down her bowl and chopsticks.
Noticing this, Leng Yixuan kindly handed her a cup of warm tea to soothe her throat.
Xin'er accepted the tea lightly, but when she met Leng Yixuan's deep black eyes that seemed to be smiling at her, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
After all, the reason she felt like a starving ghost at that moment was entirely because of him!
Moreover, she hadn't forgotten the way those palace maids had looked at her while serving the dishes earlier—their raised eyebrows and knowing glances directed at her neck made it clear they all knew what had happened.
She had been so embarrassed that she nearly wished for a hole in the ground to hide in forever.
In contrast to Xin'er's shyness, Leng Yixuan only smiled more joyfully after receiving her glare.
"Xin'er, are you still mad?"
"Hmph, how can I not be angry? Xuan, can't you see? Everyone must know by now. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Hearing Xin'er’s frustrated words, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"So what if they know? Anyway, you will be my wife sooner or later, and who would dare to laugh at us!?"
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's domineering statement, Xin'er turned her face away in annoyance.
Noticing that the girl was upset, Leng Yixuan gently coaxed her with kind words.
Then, as if remembering something, he called out, "Come here."
At his command, a Palace Maid waiting outside immediately responded.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan leaned down and whispered something in the Palace Maid's ear.
The Palace Maid smiled and nodded in agreement before stepping back.
Xin'er watched this with curiosity but didn’t ask any questions.
It was Leng Yixuan who walked over to Xin'er and said, "Xin'er, I want to give you something. You're going to love it!"
"You're giving me something!?"
Xin'er was momentarily taken aback by Leng Yixuan's words.
"What is that!?"
"Hehe, you'll find out soon."
Leng Yixuan wore a teasing expression, which only made Xin'er more curious.
She had thought that Leng Yixuan would gift her some jewelry or something similar, after all, this person had plenty of everything, especially money.
However, this time, Xin'er was mistaken!
As she watched a fluffy creature run in through the door, Xin'er's eyes lit up.
That Core Beast! Her eyes sparkled with overwhelming joy as she exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! What a cute little puppy!"
