Seeing his slightly amused smile, Yang Chuxia couldnāt help but laugh. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Iāve been thinking about my little Xiaoāan..." and then mischievously blew a few warm breaths into it.
With a "poof," she noticed Xiaoāanās cheeks turning red.
"Tsk tsk, itās been a while since Iāve seen such a beautiful face with rosy cheeks." She hooked her finger under Anziās chin and smacked her lips.
"My dear, youāre so naughty," Anzi said, winking at Yang Chuxia. Although it was just a casual wink, to her, it seemed like a seductive glance.
"Thereās even naughtier stuff to try if youāre up for it." As she said this, her hand had already snuck into his clothes. Anzi grabbed her mischievous hand and immediately countered, "It seems I didnāt serve my lady well enough last night. Itās my fault. Now, I must make sure my lady is thoroughly satisfied, in body and soul."
"Ha ha, Xiaoāan..."
"My dear..."
On the lounge chair, the two were cuddling and touching each other, their clothes and hair a mess, and their cheeks red. There was even a clear bite mark on Ye Ziāanās chin.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." After hearing several coughs, each louder than the last, Yang Chuxia climbed out of Ye Ziāanās arms, locked eyes with him, and saw a hint of confusion in his gaze. She couldnāt help but look towards the doorway.
As she looked, she saw not only one person standing there but three.
Damn, this was embarrassing.
Ye Ziāan, still pinned down by her, knew something was wrong when she turned her head but didnāt move. He quickly sat up, saw who they were, and hurriedly pulled Yang Chuxia into his arms while fixing her slightly askew clothes.
"Pfft!" One of them couldnāt help but laugh. "Outside, there are gongs and drums, but who wouldāve thought that in this small room, thereād be such passion?" It was Mu Shaofeng who said this.
Mu Shaoling, however, stared at Ye Ziāan with a dark expression.
Mr. Luo also had a dark expression on his face.
"So, it seems we came at a bad time?"
"Youāre just realizing that now?" Ye Ziāan didnāt speak, but Yang Chuxia calmly replied, not at all embarrassed.
Well, thick-skinned Xiaxia had regained her composure after the initial shock.
Mr. Luo was taken aback by her response and didnāt know what to say, so he turned to scold Ye Ziāan instead.
"Really?! You think youāre so great now that youāve become a Recommended Man? You should be studying instead. The Spring Exams are next year ā have you forgotten? A lot of people are watching you now. If you become an Advanced Scholar, itās one thing, but if you donāt, there will be disputes over whoās taking whose place in the exams. Not every scholar is a gentleman, and not every Imperial Censor is selfless. Donāt forget ā behind you are the Baili, Luo Family, and Mu Family. One misstep, and itāll become their excuse to attack these families. Understand?"
"Sir, I know Iām wrong!" Upon being scolded by his teacher, Ye Ziāan, being a good student who respects his teachers, promptly apologized.
"Hmph!"
Seeing how quickly he admitted his mistake, Mr. Luo didnāt know what to say next. Yang Chuxia took this opportunity to bring him a cup of tea.
"Mr. Luo, please have some tea and calm your anger. Since returning from the prefecture, my husband has been studying diligently, I promise. If you donāt believe me, you can check his study. He stays up studying every night until midnight," she assured him.
