Chapter 320: Fiery Passions
Chapter 320: Fiery Passions
Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan exchanged a glance, an unspoken understanding passing between them as they lowered the curtain.
Lu Yuan lifted the blanket, and Meng Qianqian slipped inside, burying her head in his embrace, the entire process flowing seamlessly.
The slightly ajar door was pushed open.
Meng Qianqian heard the sound of the door and clenched her teeth silently. The door wasn't locked, so why did she climb through the window?
She must have caught the clumsiness from him!
At this moment, Meng Qianqian hadn't realized the severity of the situation until that coquettish voice sounded again, "Third Young Master~ Servant has prepared your favorite side dish."
Meng Qianqian lifted her head from under the blanket and glanced at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan silently mouthed, "This is Luo San's place!"
Meng Qianqian responded, "Oh, I forgot. Please continue."
She quietly retreated back under the blanket.
The servant placed the tray she was holding on the table and walked gracefully to the bed. With a gentle sway of her waist, she immediately fell towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan grabbed a pillow and pushed her to the ground.
The servant let out a soft cry, and even her posture as she fell was filled with a mix of coquetry and allure. "Third Young Master, what's wrong? After not seeing you for a few days, why are you being so cold to Lian'er as soon as you return? Tell me, did you find someone else outside?"
Lu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
Despite being meticulous, he had overlooked the details of Luo San's personal affairs.
Luo San was not only a drunkard but also a womanizer.
He could drink, but when it came to women...
Meng Qianqian pinched his waist, and Lu Yuan involuntarily gasped.
Following her woman's intuition, Lian'er sensed something amiss and immediately crawled up from the ground. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Lu Yuan, "Mr. Luo, is there someone hiding in your bed?"
Before Lu Yuan could answer, Lian'er had already spotted the embroidered shoes on the ground.
"Well, well, Mr. Luo! When you persuaded me to return to the manor with you, what did you promise me? You said that after taking care of important matters, you would marry me as your wife, and I would be the only woman in your life!"
"I'll be your servant, but you're treating me like one!"
"Tell me, which lowly woman is it? Xianghong from Yihong Pavilion, or Du Juan from Chunhong Tower? Surely it can't be Jin Mudan from Wanhua Tower?"
"Today, I'll peel the skin off both of you!"
Lian'er picked up the embroidered shoes from the ground and angrily approached Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian, who was in his embrace.
Meng Qianqian never imagined in her wildest dreams that when she visited her husband in the middle of the night, she would encounter such a situation.
Did Luo San intentionally not remind her and Lu Yuan?
She had only robbed Luo San, so why was he taking such revenge on her?
Lian'er's shoe sole was about to hit Lu Yuan's face, but he swiftly produced a stack of silver bills.
"Do you think I can be bought off so easily?"
Lu Yuan produced another stack.
"Third Young Master, enjoy yourself."
"Third Young Master, I apologize for the disturbance."
"The wine and dishes for the Third Young Master and the young lady are in the room. Call me if you need anything."
Lian'er, delighted, took the silver bills and left, not forgetting to close the door for the couple.
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was scary. We almost got exposed," Meng Qianqian patted her chest, "How did you come up with that idea?"
Lu Yuan replied, "I learned it from my mother."
Meng Qianqian gave him a thumbs up, "No wonder she's my mother-in-law!"
"Third Young Master!"
The door was pushed open again.
Meng Qianqian quickly hid back under the blanket.
Lu Yuan asked nonchalantly, "What is it now?"
Lian'er poked her head in and smiled awkwardly, "Do you need me to take care of Cuiyun and the others?"
Lu Yuan tossed her a gold ingot.
Lian'er caught it deftly and said with a pleased expression, "Rest assured, Third Young Master. If even a single female mosquito dares to approach tonight, it's my fault!"
Lian'er, holding the gold and silver, twisted her slender waist like a water snake and returned to her room with a spring in her step.
Meng Qianqian threw off her covers, her face flushed and sweaty as she panted, "Now no one will disturb us, right?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her reddened cheeks and slightly parted lips, then cleared his throat and averted his gaze, saying, "Don't go see Celestial Dragon tonight."
"Why?"
"He's asleep."
"Oh."
Meng Qianqian didn't doubt him and sat up, fanning herself, "It's so hot, I'm all sweaty from tossing and turning."
Lu Yuan closed his eyes, "Xiaojiu, don't talk nonsense."
Meng Qianqian tilted her head, "Aren't you hot?"
Lu Yuan's Adam's apple moved, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean slid down his forehead, following the perfect line of his jaw and into his collar.
Meng Qianqian took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her forehead, then her cheeks, and then...
Lu Yuan caught her hand and took the handkerchief, "I'll do it myself."
Meng Qianqian looked at him with wide eyes, "Are you shy?"
"No."
Lu Yuan answered coldly as he wiped the sweat.
The handkerchief was imbued with her fragrance, lingering at the tip of his nose as if her fingertips were dancing across his body.
Meng Qianqian didn't tease him further, instead, she smiled and said, "Now that I've seen you're safe, I feel relieved."
Lu Yuan asked without changing his expression, "You... are worried about me?"
Meng Qianqian replied seriously, "Of course I'm worried about you. Minister Xun is an old fox, cunning and full of tricks. If he discovers your true form, he might silence you on the spot."
Lu Yuan's expression turned solemn, "I will find that child."
Meng Qianqian sighed, "I'm not just worried about Celestial Dragon's search for the child, but also about your safety."
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "The Chu family's case is related to Minister Xun. Over a decade ago, Celestial Dragon's adoptive father and his family suffered retaliation from the Loulan people and Qianji Pavilion. I suspect Minister Xun had a hand in it. I will find the evidence of his crimes. After staying in the Minister's Mansion for many years, I never knew there was a secret chamber like that, which shows how sensitive the items inside are."
Meng Qianqian looked at him seriously, "Who told you all this? I'm worried about you, can't you just be you?"
Lu Yuan didn't answer.
Meng Qianqian grew anxious.
When she was flattering him, he believed her.
But when she spoke the truth, he didn't trust her.
Lu Yuan said, "It's getting late, you should leave."
Meng Qianqian nodded, "Oh."
Lu Yuan understood the layout of the Minister's Mansion and the deployment of guards.
He effortlessly avoided the guards' gazes and escorted Meng Qianqian to a corner in the northwest, near a wall.
There was a low stump inside the wall, just the right height to climb over.
"I'm leaving."
Meng Qianqian said.
"Mhm."
Lu Yuan acknowledged.
Meng Qianqian slowly climbed over the wall, looking back three times.
"I'm really leaving now."
"Mhm."
Meng Qianqian jumped down.
On opposite sides of the wall, neither of them left.
Suddenly, Meng Qianqian climbed over the wall again, sticking her head out, "I'll come see you again tomorrow night."
Lu Yuan was taken aback, "Okay."
Meng Qianqian smiled, satisfied, and jumped down again.
But soon after, she stuck her head out again, "Du Wngzi's hand has healed. Do you want to eat the braised pork she made? I'll bring some for you."
"No need."
"Oh."
Meng Qianqian jumped down for the third time.
"But—"
Meng Qianqian climbed over the wall again and again.
Watching her flushed face and ears, Lu Yuan finally lost his patience. He stepped onto the stump, held her head, and kissed her lips passionately.
It wasn't a fleeting kiss, nor was it a brief touch.
With his crumbling restraint and self-control, he held her tightly, kissing her intensely and deeply.
