The little girl had her head lowered the entire time, and she was focused on flipping through a book on Feng Shui. It was as if he did not even care about King Qi.
At the thought of this, Mo Lingyun's evil playfulness was aroused. In the blink of an eye, he approached Xia Wan.
Xia Wan only felt her waist tighten. Her first reaction was that there was a pervert! He subconsciously grabbed the wolf claw on his shoulder and was about to throw it over his shoulder. His movements were smooth and surprisingly quick.
However, what kind of person was Mo Lingyun? Although he was a playboy and had a bad reputation, he was still a true War God! When he noticed Xia Wan's actions, he was shocked and immediately pushed back to restrain Xia Wan.
"Let me go!" Xia Wan kept struggling.
"It was you who dared to make a move on this king. Could it be that this king can't even give you a small punishment?”Mo Lingyun raised his eyebrows and asked with a devilish smile.
As he spoke, he got closer to Xia Wan. He could already smell the fragrance of Xia Wan's hair. Unlike other women's makeup, Xia Wan's body emitted a fresh and natural fragrance. Just like his favorite Longjing tea, it was refreshing. He actually didn't feel any disgust, and instead, he unconsciously drew people closer.
This woman was really…peculiar.
"Bastard, you molested me first, and I defended myself! Although we have a parent's agreement, we haven't officially married yet. If you dare to continue to be frivolous, don't blame me for risking my life to burn jade and stone with you!”Xia Wan was both embarrassed and angry. In a short while, her face was already red.
" What a good idea…" Mo Lingyun's eyes flashed with admiration as he slowly let go of Xia Wan.
This woman was not only unique, but also…spicy! Why did that determined gaze look so familiar?
Xia Wan rubbed her arms and turned her head, only to see Mo Lingyun's handsome face right in front of her. On that face that was as beautiful as a sculpture, the sword-like thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a faint aura of an emperor, domineering and natural. At this moment, he was also sizing her up. That burning gaze really made one's heart beat faster…
If one didn't look at this prince's character, he was really a demon that was delicious!
"Miss, what happened to Miss?”
Si 'er, who was passing by the study, heard Xia Wan's struggling voice and rushed over. When she saw that it was his highness, she immediately lowered her head and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"This is none of your business.”
"Yes, this servant will take her leave."
Seeing Si 'er leave, Xia Wan was about to leave the study room as well. However, just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Mo Lingyun.
"You're not allowed to leave." Mo Lingyun spoke unexpectedly.
"Why?" Xia Wan turned around in confusion.
"Didn't you want to read? Stay and accompany this king.”
Hearing this, Xia Wan frowned and looked at the unfathomable man in front of her.
She didn't understand why he liked to hold on to her.
However, looking at his current appearance, he did not seem to have any improper thoughts. There was no harm in staying and taking a look.
After thinking about it, Xia Wan sat on a chair at the side. He had a cup of tea and a teapot by his hand, and he generously picked up a book and started reading.
Mo Lingyun's face revealed an imperceptible smile as he walked to the desk and sat down. He slowly flipped through the important local news and some matters in the imperial court that the officials had handed over.
It was very quiet in the study. The two of them were doing their own things. The faint fragrance of roses floated in the air. The afternoon sun shone through the window into the room, making it particularly comfortable.
Xia Wan had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. After reading half of the Feng Shui book, she couldn't hold it anymore. She placed the book on her lap and curled up in the wide chair, falling asleep quietly.
Mo Lingyun, who was at the side, settled the matters at hand and stretched his muscles. He picked up his porcelain cup and took a sip of tea. When he looked up and saw the woman nestled in the chair, his heart warmed.
This Fourth Miss of the Xia family was different from other young ladies. Not only did she not put on makeup when she went out, but she also dressed elegantly. Little did he know that she was born beautiful, and even if she was barefaced, she was still exceptionally moving. Especially when the afternoon sun quietly shone on her sleeping face, it gave off a transparent feeling, making her look even more like a celestial being. Her long, ink-like hair was not tied up and was draped loosely over her shoulders. Her hair wasn't straight like a classic beauty's. Instead, it was slightly curved, giving her a unique style.
Unknowingly, Mo Lingyun walked to her side and realized that the tea beside her had already turned cold. He immediately poured the slightly hot water from the teapot into a cup and refilled her cup. After that, he stroked her smooth forehead and left the study quietly.
Si 'er saw that his highness had already come out and went to the door to ask. Seeing that no one responded, he pushed open the door and saw Xia Wan, who had just woken up.
"Miss, are you…asleep?"
"Um…when is it?" Xia Wan rubbed her eyes and asked lazily.
"It's almost time for dinner."
"Hmm?" Only then did Xia Wan wake up and look around the study. Only then did she realize that someone had refilled the steaming hot flower tea beside her. The corners of his lips curled up.
"Where is His Highness?"
" Your Highness, he just left the manor and went to Xueyuan Brothel…" Si 'er frowned and answered worriedly.
Xueyuan Brothel was a famous brothel!
Xia Wan frowned, and the trace of good impression that had just risen disappeared instantly! This King Qi was really as unrestrained as the rumors said…
"Tell Granny Li that I have something to ask.”
Xia Wan instructed with a dark face, acting like a hostess. That deep voice made Si 'er tremble. He hurriedly turned around and called Granny Li over. After a while, Granny Li appeared in front of Xia Wan with a kind face.
"Granny Li, tell me about the situation in this mansion.”Xia Wan sat in the chair and slowly picked up the tea on the table to take a sip. Although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was not angry.
"Oh…there's a concubine in this residence who has been bestowed the title of Consort Yan. She's the second daughter of the current Minister of History of the Imperial Court, Lord Yan Qing.”
" There's a secondary consort…" Xia Wan raised her eyebrows, her eyes revealing a trace of coldness.
Granny Li was afraid that Xia Wan would be jealous, so she quickly explained,"It was Yan Qing Daren who relied on his relationship with the Emperor to let his daughter be his highness's official consort, using this to control his highness 'power. However, my highness did not like his daughter and wanted to cancel the engagement several times. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yan was infatuated with his highness. When she heard that his highness was unwilling to marry her, she cried, jumped, and hanged herself. Coupled with the Emperor's persuasion, his highness reluctantly married that woman.”
"Is that so? What's she like? The daughters of the Minister were all daughters of noble families.”Si 'er couldn't help but ask in a worried tone.
"You're wrong!" Granny Li smiled." That woman is only good to her own people and His Highness. Her attitude towards us servants is extremely bad. She is far worse than the Princess Consort!”
" I see…" Si 'er nodded thoughtfully." Then, His Highness's attitude towards Concubine Yan…"
"That Yan Fei is just a chess piece in the officialdom. His Highness definitely doesn't want to have too much interaction with her! But that woman kept sticking to His Highness, so naturally, His Highness hated Concubine Yan to the core.”
