"You..." The words came to her lips but she couldn't ask again.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." Ye Wangchuan murmured, "Just for a while, I can control myself."
Qiao Nian stood stiffly in the darkness, forcing herself not to move despite being surrounded on all sides by ambushes, allowing him to hold her in his arms for a long time.
Darkness amplifies all the senses.
She tilted her head back to see Ye Wangchuan's current physical condition.
Ye Wangchuan was also looking at her. Her clear watery eyes, upturned little nose, and cherry-pink lips all captured the man's heart.
He heard his heartbeat quicken.
Involuntarily, he began to lean forward somewhat uncontrollably, and pressed his thin lips against her cherry lips.
Ye Wangchuan hooked her head, and at first he was able to control himself and stop at just a little, but later he became more and more instinctive and deepened...
"Hmm." Qiao Nianyi snorted.
Like a thunderclap in his ears, the man opened his almost blurry eyes, forced himself away from her lips, and a drop of hot sweat slid down his neck.
Ye Wangchuan endured it until veins on his forehead were exposed. He loosened his hand, retreated to a safe distance, and said to Qiao Nian, "Okay, it's okay."
They hadn't turned on the lights yet, so the room was still pitch black and Qiao Nian couldn't quite see the interior and his approximate location.
But he could feel the burning heat surrounding him moving away, and the cool air was rushing in again, cooling down the temperature inside.
The heat in her body gradually subsided as Ye Wangchuan moved aside, and her disordered breathing caused by the man calmed down again.
Qiao Nian pinched the flesh on the palm of her hand, regained her rationality, took out the bottle of pills she carried with her, poured out two pills and handed them over.
"Eat it and you'll feel better."
"Um."
Ye Wangchuan reached out and took it. He didn't ask Qiao Nian what it was. He tilted his head back and swallowed it. He said hoarsely, "There's something wrong with the closet here." "I guessed it." Qiao Nian ate two of them, put away the small bottle, and said to him, "Qin Si and the others are in Bo Rui. Let's leave here first."
…
Just as Ye Wangchuan expected.
When Sai Lan saw Elena again at the banquet, her eyes became subtle. She walked over quickly and interrupted the conversation.
"Didn't I ask you to go up and convey my message? Why didn't you go up?"
"Aunt Lan..."
The lady who was talking to Alina was very considerate and immediately smiled and said, "The eldest lady is here, you guys chat, I'll go find Yi'er first."
The other party walked away speaking in a charming manner.
Sai Lan didn't even look at her, her poisonous gaze like a dormant venomous snake was always on Elena, and she emphasized her tone again.
"I asked you to find someone, but you didn't go find him?"
"Aunt Lan, you misunderstood."
Elena squeezed the handle of the wine glass hard, her face flushed and blue, and she said unwillingly: "I found him. Master Ye asked me to come down."
Sai Lan looked at her with extreme disappointment, not pitying her girlish feelings at all, and said harshly: "He asked you to come down, and you left?"
"I thought you were at least a bit capable, but you took a man's words seriously. I really don't know how you made that kid from the Mu family listen to you."
The color on Elena's face faded, and she turned terribly pale. She wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it: "Aunt Lan, I didn't."
“That’s enough.” Sai Lan waved her hand. With her strong and powerful style, she ignored any of her excuses and gave a cold order: “Come with me.”
