"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Ye Luan rolled her eyes, annoyed.
She had tolerated him before due to his injuries, but this crazy lunatic saw through her soft heart and kept pushing his luck.
"I have something to tell you."
Xiao Chizhan caressed her waist and said, "Granted."
Ye Luan looked up at him. "Do you know what I'm going to say?"
"Then tell me what you have to say."
"---"
Ye Luan's face darkened, wanting to hit him.
Xiao Chizhan lowered his eyelids and chuckled. "Can't take a little teasing?"
She pouted and buried her head in his embrace, no longer wanting to bother with him.
After all, if anything happened in Beigong, he would be the first to know, so there was no need for her to mention it.
"What if Tantai Ye comes looking for someone?"
As soon as she spoke, Xiao Chizhan suddenly leaned down, clasped her waist, and placed her onto the Bing Li Yue behind them.
He then braced himself on both ends, pressing down towards her.
This posture seemed to encircle her in his arms.
"What do you want me to do?"
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, his enchanting, beautiful red eyes losing their fierceness and taking on a playful hue.
Ye Luan looked at his gentle and devilish appearance, feeling a slight daze.
They had been in opposition for so long. Although he had repeatedly yielded and retreated later on, his temper had always been unyielding.
Now that she no longer deliberately opposed him, he had become much gentler.
The capricious, fierce little lunatic truly knew how to lower his head for love!
"What are you spacing out for?"
He gently pinched her cheeks, speaking with dissatisfaction.
Ye Luan snapped back to reality, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "Qing Ge doesn't want to go to the border."
"And so?"
He smiled, raising an eyebrow.
Ye Luan knew he was deliberately teasing her, wanting to see her coax him with soft words.
What wicked fun!
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking of going to find Li Qiongyu later. He wouldn't refuse to save Qing Ge."
Before she could finish speaking, the air around them turned frigid.
Ye Luan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.
Seeing his sinister expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
"You're jealous of your brother too?"
Xiao Chizhan embraced her waist tightly and looked down.
"I don't care. In any case, you're not allowed to look at anyone else. Otherwise, I'll gouge their eyes out."
"----"
Ye Luan's face turned cold. "Do you even hear what you're saying?"
Xiao Chizhan huffed, "What about me?"
She was speechless. How could he be so self-righteous!
"Can you change your temper? If I look at someone else, you want to gouge their eyes out. How can you be so petty?"
Then, if she hugged someone else, wouldn't he wipe out their entire family!
"How am I petty? I hate anyone coveting you."
He wanted to hide her away, possess her, and have her be his alone.
If he hadn't been afraid of angering her, he would have kept her in Beigong, never letting her go anywhere.
But he knew in his heart that she disliked such things.
He was also too fond of their current dynamic. She would actively kiss and hug him, and even act spoiled towards him, which was something that had never happened before.
Therefore, he still had to indulge her, obey her.
He liked to see her bright and radiant, and he wanted her to be happy.
"Luan Luan can only look at me."
Ye Luan was held so tightly by him that it was uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and compromised first.
This madman's possessiveness was outrageous, and it wouldn't change overnight. They would take it slow.
"Gently, it hurts."
Hearing her gasp, Xiao Chizhan loosened his grip slightly, but still held her in his arms, burying his head in her neck and sniffing deeply.
He was like a wolf, greedily inhaling her fragrance.
Ye Luan tilted her head slightly, dodging, and issued a warning.
"Don't kill innocents because of me. I really hate being stained with the karma of killing, do you hear me?!"
Xiao Chizhan's body stiffened slightly, and he let out a hum.
His Luan Luan should be pure and clean, unlike him, who crawled out of hell like a demon.
Dirty, sinful.
"Then do you want help?"
Xiao Chizhan hummed, his slightly cool lips kissing her fair neck, sucking, leaving behind red marks.
Ye Luan, hearing his agreement, breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively clutched his shoulders.
But this action seemed to encourage him, and he began to cling to her relentlessly, lingering on her neck and licking her earlobe.
Ye Luan's breathing became ragged from his licking and biting, her body growing weak.
"Alright, flaunting affection in broad daylight. Aren't you ashamed?"
He remained silent, his breathing deepening. He followed from her earlobe to her jawline and bit her gently.
She sensed his desire and immediately turned her head to avoid it, covering his mouth.
"What did you promise me before? It's only been a couple of days, and you're already showing your true colors again?!"
Xiao Chizhan, thick-skinned, caught her hand and leaned in to embrace her tightly.
He didn't speak, only burying his face in her neck to calm himself.
Ye Luan also let him hold her.
She wrapped her arms around his back and softly asked, "Aren't you busy?"
"You accompany me."
"No, a lot of court officials will come later. I don't want anyone to see me."
Xiao Chizhan stroked her hair and said, "What are you afraid of? In a couple of days, the palace will issue an imperial decree, and you will officially be my consort."
Ye Luan refused to go anyway and struggled.
"Let me go, I need to go to the alchemy room to get some ingredients."
Xiao Chizhan knew she enjoyed fiddling with those things and had specially built an alchemy room for her in Yunshang Que, filled with large and small cauldrons, as well as various rare herbs and books.
She had been shocked the first time she saw it.
"Kiss me, and I'll let you go."
Shameless.
Ye Luan gave him a perfunctory kiss and was about to pull away, but he was prepared. He directly held her head and pried open her lips, delving in for a passionate kiss.
Who knew how long he kissed her. When she was released, her tongue felt numb.
She poked his waist with her leg, annoyed. "Aren't you going to get back to your work?"
"I don't want to go anymore."
He wanted to keep her by his side at all times and didn't want to be separated.
Ye Luan was helpless. She coaxed him softly, "We're both here, and I'm not going anywhere. After you finish your work, can't we just spend time together? Go on now."
Xiao Chizhan hugged her tightly. "Then can I sleep with you tonight?"
Crazy lunatic, pushing his luck again.
She remained silent, watching him calmly.
Xiao Chizhan sensed the unusual atmosphere and licked his lips slightly.
He looked up at her, saw her expression had turned cold, paused, then scooped her up from his waist and set her down.
"You don't look good when you're frowning."
"----"
Ye Luan was truly angered by his words, shook off his hand, and walked inside.
Xiao Chizhan let out a soft laugh, blocked her waist, and hugged her from behind.
"Are you angry?"
Annoying.
Ye Luan didn't want to pay him any attention and elbowed him hard backward.
Suddenly, he cried out in pain and stumbled back.
She was slightly startled and quickly turned around, only to see him covering his chest and crying out in pain.
"You hit my wound."
