The bathroom was huge and spacious. There were not many decorations. The huge bath in the middle was still steaming, and the petals in the pool were a little charming. On the left corner was a phoenix carved out of marble. Water of just the right temperature flowed out of its sharp mouth. There was a wooden screen, a round table, and a stool at the side. There were many warm yellow curtains around it. They were layered and swayed. Other than making it more charming, they did not have any concealment effect.
She gently undid her belt and took off her white muslin dress. Then, she took off the ribbon at her waist and slowly removed her clothes. Then, she used her hand to pull the water. Just as she was about to go down, her eyes darkened. In a flash, she tore off a robe and wrapped it around her body. Her eyes were still looking at the water surface calmly as she said indifferently,"Come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of water splashing could be heard. A black figure stood in the water, splashing. Leng Suwan covered the water droplets with her sleeves and frowned.
When the water droplets had all fallen, she finally saw a man standing in the water. His night-traveling clothes were drenched and clung to his body, outlining his strong physique that was different from the man's overly devilish face. A few strands of black hair stuck to the man's honey-colored cheeks. He panted as he looked at Leng Suwan, who was standing by the pool in a white robe. Leng Suwan didn't avoid his gaze, her eyes were as deep as an ancient pond.
"You're quite capable, barging into the villa at night and still being alive.”While talking, Leng Suwan had already entered the water. She looked at the man and then at the door of the bathroom. The man immediately understood and dived into the water again. The door of the bathroom was opened. The first to rush in was Lunong, followed by a few men in black. The wind blew, and the curtains swayed gently, drawing out a charming scenery. Leng Suwan had already quietly pushed her robe into the water.
"What's the matter?" Leng Suwan asked lightly, as if it was harmless to be intruded while bathing.
" Just now, Lü Nong heard that there was a huge commotion in the bathroom, and that there seemed to be a thief in the manor tonight…She was worried about Miss 'safety, so she let out a secret sound…to inform the secret guards to come and rescue Miss…" As she finished speaking, Lü Nong's head drooped even lower, and her voice was trembling as if she was crying.
"Lu Nong, you are too rash. You also know that bathing is slippery…Forget it, you can leave. I will pretend that I don't know anything about today's matter.”Leng Suwan gave a few casual orders and Lü Nong left with the five secret guards. The secret guards also knew that they could not break the rules. They left the West Park and faced a group of companions. The few of them took off the black scarves on their faces, revealing their faces that had not seen the sun for many years. They seemed to be smiling. There was a rule in Shiying Mountain Villa that no matter how big or small the merit was, anyone who entered the female bathing place had to commit suicide to preserve the reputation of the young lady and madam in the villa. They were men of sacrifice, hidden guards, and sabers that could not be exposed. Even if he died, he could only look at the bright moonlight. His heart had long treated this cold yet warm moonlight as the sun…
Leng Suwan had already put on her clothes in the bathroom. She walked barefoot to the round table and poured herself a cup of hot tea. This time, the man in the pool did not dare to make too much noise. He dragged his clothes, which were especially heavy because of the water, up. As if he was tired, he laid down on the ground in a 'big' shape.
"From your appearance, you shouldn't be the madam of the manor, right? Which lady is it?" After a long time, the man slowly said after he had steadied his breath. His tone was frivolous. He glanced sideways at her, who was sitting at the round table and sipping tea. His beautiful eyes were filled with evil, but it seemed to be born evil. There was no way to tell that she was crooked.
Leng Suwan didn't even lift her eyes and said,""Take a guess."
It wasn't that she wanted to make fun of him, but she didn't want to bother with him. She would nod no matter which one he guessed, which would save her a lot of trouble.
"Hehe, you are really funny. I really can't guess. Although there were many rumors about the Young Ladies of the Shiying Manor in the pugilistic world, most of them were not credible and made up. Well…the only credible one was probably Third Miss. The rumor was that she was a cold and unfeeling girl. I don't think so. After all, you saved me, didn't you?”
Leng Suwan only said one sentence, but he nagged a lot. She frowned, she didn't like long-winded people. Leng Su Wan turned her head slightly and showed the man her beautiful side profile. She slightly raised her eyes, allowing the man to see her slightly curved lips, which were as light as the breeze. She picked up the celadon cup and smiled. I'm the girl rumored to be cold and heartless.”
He looked at the side profile of the smiling girl in surprise and could not help but sigh in his heart. The rumors of the martial world were indeed not to be believed. Just as he was lamenting about the false rumors, Leng Suwan suddenly said,""However, remember that you owe me five lives today.”
"Why?" He looked at her in shock. Leng Suwan looked at him with bottomless eyes.
"Do you think those five secret guards can leave West Park alive? Although I said I wouldn't pursue the matter, the rules of the villa can't be changed just because of my words. They barged into the women's bath room, so they naturally had to commit suicide to protect their chastity. I sacrificed five elite hidden guards for an unrelated person. Don't you think that this favor is unjustifiable?”
He felt that the Third Miss in front of him was much more interesting than the rumors said. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and asked,"Third Young Lady's great kindness, this one naturally won't easily forget.”
Taking a sip of tea, Leng Suwan stretched out her slender finger and waved it left and right, she said lightly,""I don't care if you forget or not, as long as you remember to repay the favor. You're not an ordinary person, and the favor you repay might not be simple. However, I believe that with your status, it shouldn't be difficult for you to repay the favor.”
"Third Young Lady should still think carefully, lest when she finds out that she entrusted the wrong person, she will inevitably be happy for nothing.”He squinted lazily and raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes were filled with nonchalance and evilness. Leng Suwan smiled. The bathroom suddenly felt like a warm spring breeze. A bright and clean smile. She said," My guess is not wrong. Do you know that the defenses of the Shiying Mountain Villa are tighter at night than during the day? No one in the world can break in at night." You must be a guest who came to the villa during the day. Father let you stay for the night, but you visited the villa at night. But you're wrong about one thing. You must think that your martial arts are strong, and this tight secret guard formation can't stop you. Do you know that my father had his eyes on you for a long time? Perhaps he didn't want to kill you at first. It was you who came to his door at night and gave him the opportunity and reason to kill you. Forcing you into the place where the women bathe and change their clothes and removing the person wearing the night clothes and covering his face in the name of conspiring against you will not pose any threat to the villa. You, on the other hand, are pitiful. Not only is it a pity that you're dead, but you also have the reputation of a pervert.”
He had never thought that the Third Miss, who had been protected in the manor since she was young, was actually such a smart person. However, to him, such a smart woman was not suitable for him to be moved.
"Since you saved me, your father, who always has a way out, must know.”He smiled and laid down on the cold marble floor. His breathing gradually stabilized. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Leng Suwan turned her head to look at the wild man, reached out her slender white hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, smiling,""Perhaps Father's backup plan is to take you under his wing if he can't kill you. The simplest way was…love at first sight.”
He turned his head and opened his eyes to look at the slender woman who was still sitting upright. He said indifferently,"Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing. I hid in the west garden and met the third miss that I shouldn't have met. If it was any other young lady, she would probably be able to satisfy his old man's thoughts.”
"The goddess has no intentions, and King Xiang is heartless. This is not bad.”She nodded and looked at him with a smile. Although he saw her smile, he also knew that her smile did not reach her eyes. He propped himself up with one hand and raised his eyebrows at Leng Suwan with the other. Leng Suwan walked up to him with a cup of tea. She held the cup in her hand without bending over and stopped when it was a little distance from his fingertips. He sneered and straightened his body a little. When he held the cup, he seemed to accidentally touch her jade-like fingers that were slightly cold. She frowned and said lightly,"You lecher."”
"Haha…I wouldn't dare to be a lecher, but no matter what, he's a good son-in-law that the manor lord has taken a liking to, so it's a pity not to touch him.”
Seeing his teasing face, Leng Suwan still stood in front of him with an otherworldly indifference. The dense background gave her a sense of ethereal.
"He's the one who likes you. Wouldn't it be better if you touched him?”
"You're not that boring." He took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows. Leng Suwan also raised her eyebrows and said lightly,""You're wrong. I'm boring."
"Then…"
"It's getting late. I'm going to rest.”Leng Suwan interrupted him and turned to open the red door before he could say anything or hide. He watched as the white figure disappeared completely, leaving only the gentle breeze that swept through the curtains. He laid down on the ground again and raised his slender hand to play with the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand. An inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.
" What a cold woman. She doesn't even ask who I am…"
The next day, when the warm spring sun gently caressed Leng Suwan's face, she frowned and her eyelashes fluttered before she slowly opened her eyes. Lu Nong had been waiting by her bed since early in the morning. Seeing that she had woken up, she silently prepared something for her to wash up. Leng Suwan sat alone in front of the mirror, slightly absent-minded. It was not until Lu Nong had prepared everything and called out to her in a low voice that she got up to wash up and change her clothes.
"Lu Nong, you don't have to follow me today.”
After Leng Suwan was dressed neatly, she combed her hair with sandalwood and said lightly," Lü Nong's already red eyes couldn't help but tear up, kneeling in front of Leng Suwan. Her shoulders trembled with her crying. She looked at Leng Suwan, her eyes full of pleading and regret,""I beg Young Lady to grant Lu Nong death!"
She didn't move, only quietly looking at the sobbing Lu Nong kneeling on the ground. After a long time, he said,"Even if you die ten more times, they won't be able to come back to life."”Her voice was cold, like spring water in winter, and it was bone-chilling. Lu Nong's body trembled, she raised her head and looked at Leng Su Wan who was still calm and indifferent, her face full of disbelief,""How can Young Lady be so heartless? Those five secret guards had died for the sake of Miss's reputation! How could such a cold sentence like 'even if Lü Nong died ten times, it wouldn't be able to offset it?' be enough?”As she spoke, Lü Nong's voice became sharp. There were five or six maids in the room, all of them kneeling on the ground in fear, not daring to look up at Leng Su Wan's face.
