Dou Qing’e’s carriage had gone far, but the expression on Qin Linfeng’s face was still grieved. Although he had sent people secretly to ensure that Dou Qing’e would not receive the cruel treatment like the real lunatics in the Psycho Tower, thinking of his proud mother forced into this by Qin Yunuan, he felt uneasy.
He hated her exceedingly that wished he could eat the flesh and drink the blood of that bitch and then send her into the limbo.
“Unjust is doomed to destruction,” Qin Yunuan repeated it slowly, as if she were slowly tasting it, “Brother said it very well. When I watched mother’s carriage going towards the Psycho Tower, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”
Qin Yunuan smiled faintly, and her eyes seemed to be gleaming like gems. However, to Qin Linfeng, it was just another curse of this vicious woman.
“Feel free to be proud. Let’s see how long you can stay that way, daughter of a concubine.” Qin Linfeng narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and called out to Qin Yunzhuang, “Come on, Yunzhuang. Let’s go.”
Qin Yunuan turned sideways slightly, seemingly politely giving way to the arrogant Qin Linfeng and Qin Yunzhuang. But her glance fell precisely on the tightly held hands of Qin Linfeng and Qin Yunzhuang.
After the two went away, Maner whispered to Qin Yunuan, “It seems that the Grand Young Master’s feelings for Grand Miss is really unusual.”
Qin Yunuan smiled and remained silent, but she knew everything clearly in her heart. Since Qin Linfeng had this feeling, sooner or later it couldn’t be hidden. If the outsiders knew about the shameful relationship between the brothers and sisters of Qin Family, it would definitely cause a scene. She tilted her head and asked, “Have you given those things yesterday to General Leng yet?”
Maner nodded.
“What does he think?” Qin Yunuan asked.
Maner replied, “Third Miss, his opinion is same as yours. General Leng also asked me to bring you something.” Maner said while handing a magpie-shaped small ceramic whistle to Qin Yunuan. She was speaking as quietly as possible, “General Leng asked me to give you this, and he said that if you are in danger or you want to see him in Xiangguo Temple, just blow this whistle.”
If it was Leng Changxi himself who said those words to Qin Yunuan, she was totally comfortable with it. However, when these words were said by Maner, they made Qin Yunuan blush slightly. She put the small ceramic whistle into her arms and turned her head away. Then, she just said softly, “Don’t bring everything back to the mansion. He never stays by the rules, and now you are starting not to stay by the rules as well.”
Maner pursed her lips and smiled, “I know, Third Miss has always been the one who stays by the rules. I’ll not deliver anything for General Leng in the future then. Even if General Leng threaten me with a sword, I’ll not deliver anything for him.”
Hearing this, Qin Yunuan chuckled. While she stared at Maner with a smile, who was getting bolder in front of her, she saw Qin Linfeng’s servant hurried out of the house.
Qin Yunuan eavesdropped on the conversation between the servant and the steward. They were talking about moving Qin Linfeng’s stuff outside back into the mansion. It seemed that after Dou Qing’e left, Qin Linfeng was preparing to return to Qin Family and take care of Qin Yunzhuang wholeheartedly.
But those stuff….
Qin Yunuan pursed her lips slightly and returned to her yard. The first thing she did was to call Leng Wu out.
“Third Miss,” Leng Wu arched. His black shirt was tightly fitted, without a trace of dust. Leng Changxi’s people were really well-trained and efficient.
“Before Qin Linfeng transfers his stuff, hurry to his residence outside first.” Qin Yunuan lifted her eyebrows slightly, and the beautiful brows formed a sharp edge, “Didn’t he swear to turn my visit to Xiangguo Temple into one with no return? I would really like to see how desperate he would be when I return.”
The visit to Xiangguo Temple was imminent, but Leng Changxi still took time out to meet Qin Yunuan.
Just in the night before leaving, Qin Yunuan was by the table, seriously reading the lone book left by her mother. The candlelight flickered slightly, and the sultry summer breeze began to cool down as the night grew darker. Qin Yunuan squeezed her collar. Her sight was a bit blurry. Her fingertips flicked the pages of the book randomly, as they suddenly encountered a warm and soft thing.
Qin Yunuan froze for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to call someone in. Then, she realized that it was a pair of familiar and powerful big hands. His tanned skin glowed nicely in the candlelight. Qin Yunuan looked up slightly, and her glance met that of Leng Changxi, who had been standing beside Qin Yunuan’s table for some time.
The air seemed to be frozen. Qin Yunuan’s pupils slightly expanded, as she was so surprised. He actually came in, so easily, and appeared in front of her, right here and right now.
Qin Yunuan knew that both Leng Changxi’s light skills and internal skills were one of a kind, but she didn’t expect him to come and go so freely. Wasn’t her door guarded by….
It was within a glance that Qin Yunuan noticed that Maner, who was supposed to be on vigil in front of the room door had disappeared without a trace for a long time. As she looked back again, she found Leng Changxi leaning against the bookshelf and smiling proudly. The grin on his face seemed to be waiting for Qin Yunuan’s surprised look, and it was filled with great satisfaction.
Leng Changxi turned his head slightly. It seemed that he did not expect that there would be so many books in Qin Yunuan’s room. When he saw the books he previously sent Qin Yunuan as Su Chenghai were placed on the front of the shelf, he felt warm on the inside.
“Were you so focused that you didn’t even realize that I’m here?” Leng Changxi tilted his head and said with a smile.
Qin Yunuan gathered the books on the table and put them neatly, “Even if I’m not so focused, I won’t know that you’re here.”
Leng Changxi liked Qin Yunuan’s deliberate grudge against him, which made him tickle like a kitten’s scratch.
“You are leaving tomorrow,” Leng Changxi’s tone was dull, but his eyes were as bright as the stars, “Infanta Shuhua and Imperial Concubine Jing would also go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the Queen Mother, so you need to be careful in everything.”
Qin Yunuan had heard of Infanta Shuhua. She had been adopted by the Queen Mother. Now that the Queen Mother was very ill, she naturally needed to pray for her. But why Imperial Concubine Jing?
Leng Changxi seemed to see through Qin Yunuan’s thoughts and replied, “She was the original Imperial Concubine Lu, and she had been promoted to Imperial Concubine Jing a couple days ago. She’s a daughter of the nobles, and she had been accustomed to the tricks in noble families. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”
Imperial Concubine Lu. Qin Yunuan had an impression on her. She recalled meeting Leng Changxi coincidentally by the lotus pond at the poetry feast the other day. The eunuch beside Leng Changxi was a servant of Imperial Concubine Lu. From the eunuch’s words, it appeared that there were some entanglements between Imperial Concubine Lu and Leng Changxi. Thinking of this, Qin Yunuan’s tone got colder, “Appearance? General Leng seems to know well about Imperial Concubine Jing’s appearance.”
Leng Changxi smiled slightly, “Everyone knows that there’s this Imperial Concubine Jing in the harem, who’s the most gentle and quiet. Otherwise, the emperor will not give her the title of ‘Jing’.”
“If everyone knows, why don’t I know?” Qin Yunuan’s tone was a little softer, but her momentum increased. She was just afraid that Maner and Tong who were outside would hear her words, but she still felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, the candlelight in front of her seemed to be blocked by something. Qin Yunuan looked up, and found that Leng Changxi’s handsome face which he normally hid under the mask was completely exposed to her right now.
The curvy lips, the nose with a high bridge, the slightly sunken eye sockets and the dark pupils like the deep sea. Half of his face was under the light, the other half hidden in the shadows. This made Leng Changxi’s face more angular and nice-looking.
Leng Changxi knew Qin Yunuan’s little emotions. He stepped forward and kissed Qin Yunuan’s nose gently, “Silly girl, why would you want to know what an irrelevant woman looks like? Just remember what I look like.”
The mask was placed by Leng Changxi’s hand. The smooth and cold edge of the mask rubbed against Qin Yunuan’s fingertips, which kind of made her numb.
The atmosphere was romantic. Just when Qin Yunuan stayed still and frozen, her lips were covered with something warm and passionate. This kiss was nothing like the previous ones. There were more passion and lust in the kiss besides blandness. This was the first time Leng Changxi got so savage despite all the tenderness he had. He went all the way in, and used his tongue to open up Qin Yunuan’s jaws. There seemed to be an inexplicable traction that attracted Leng Changxi to go in deeper and deeper, getting hold of the sweetness slowly like a siege.
Qin Yunuan seemed to be surprised by this sudden enthusiasm. She subconsciously wanted to back off, but found that Leng Changxi’s big hand firmly holding the back of her head. His other hand was holding her waist tightly like knowing that she would try to escape. He pressed his body against her, as he wouldn’t allow her to leave him, not even by an inch. When thinking of the fact that he wouldn’t be able to see her for forty-nine days, his heart hurt like being stuck by a needle. It was like something important suddenly kept out of his life.
The summer was hot. Qin Yunuan was only wearing a thin gauze garment. Now she was closely leaning against Leng Changxi’s chest. They seemed to hear each other’s heartbeats as they were only a layer of gauze garment apart.
It was only until Leng Changxi expressed his thoughts and desires when he slowly released his hands. He looked at Qin Yunuan, who was flushed and slightly panting, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He was satisfied, and he liked it when she was looking shy.
His lips moved away, but his hand on Qin Yunuan’s waist was still there. Leng Changxi pulled Qin Yunuan into his arms, and put his chin on Qin Yunuan’s forehead. There seemed to be some remaining passion in the air.
“You….” Qin Yunuan uttered a word, but did not know what to say next.
“Trust me, don’t get too close to Imperial Concubine Jing. She’s not good for you,” Leng Changxi suddenly reminded.
