The weather in Luo Hai was excessively warm.
The first snowfall melted as soon as it hit the ground, its traces remained wetting the road surface making it slightly slippery.
Yuan Xuan shielded Mu Chenyan as they left. When they passed through the little garden and underneath the large tree, he suddenly pressed the woman in his arms against the tree bark in a swift motion.
The piercingly cold and uninhibited light in his ambiguously dark pupils caused Mu Chenyan to be confused.
White mist rose as she gasped for breath.
The man who was originally moderate and amiable had changed his temperament while his gaze was scorchingly threatening.
Both of them were too close to each other. Mu Chenyan became faintly afraid and worried when she detected the familiarly seductive scent of his body that was tinged with the smell of his hormones...
It was the same tree and the same person...
Inappropriate and embarrassing memories surged into Mu Chenyan's mind.
Without thinking, she quietly scolded him, saying, "Are you crazy?" "Your expression changes every moment!"!
"I'm not crazy! What's going on in your head?"
Yuan Xuan's tone was extremely sinister but it was tinged with playfulness. His gaze brimmed provocatively.
He quietly murmured beside Mu Chenyan's ears and said, "Just now, you really did that on purpose, right?"
His gaze could see through everything but he was still indulging her.
His tone was not accusatory but it sounded vaguely surprised.
Five seconds passed before Mu Chenyan realized that he was asking about Zhao Ruoxin's burn incident.
It was apparent that he still cared...
Mu Chenyan mockingly sneered and said, "It's certainly as you thought! Since you could tell, why did you still protect me?"
"It looks like I'd really underestimated a vixen like you!"
Yuan Xuan seemed lost in his thoughts. His voice was very soft while his tone was unhurried because did not intend to reproach her.
"Wasn't I supposed to teach her a lesson since she was lusting over my man?"
Mu Chenyan smiled and appeared to be completely at ease.
"Yes, I really couldn't tell that you'd use that move." Yuan Xuan spoke in an emotional tone that was tinged with happiness.
"Didn't you say that a person like me couldn't survive past three episodes in an imperial drama? I've disappointed you! I may survive until the fifth episode or I might even stay alive until the finale. However, you might not be able to endure me..."
Mu Chenyan brushed the stray hairs at the corner of her forehead. She suddenly revealed a faint smile when she looked at Yuan Xuan's dark and cold almond-shaped pupils.
"Your childhood sweetheart's real sister looks exactly like her as if she's returned from the dead! I'm sure that this is part of your good luck..."
This woman who was acting as if she wanted to die had started to test his limits.
Initially, he was not upset because she had purposely gotten up to mischief. However, he could not suppress the burning rage in his heart that resulted from the feelings he experienced when she simply dragged him and Zhao Ruoxin together. !
Yuan Xuan's dark pupils slowly constricted. It seemed like he was about to burn her with the fury that gushed out.
His tall and upright figure created an oppressive aura. Under his gaze, Mu Chenyan's arrogance slowly diminished...
The color of the floor lamps were clearly gentle and warm but why did they seem so cold when they were reflected on the woman's face...
"Say that again?"? "Huh?"
Yuan Xuan wanted to know if she was still brave enough to challenge him.
"I'm not going to repeat it!"
Mu Chenyan stopped before she went overboard. She knew that she would regret it if she persisted any further.
"Didn't you say that I had a headache? My head really hurts now so I want to go back and sleep."
Mu Chenyan pushed his arms away and attempted to leave.
If she could, Mu Chenyan really wanted to escape by teleporting.
It was unfortunate that she did not know how to do so. Since she was too thin and weak to support her tall frame, she suddenly slipped on the wet ground after frantically walking several steps away. Her body swayed unsteadily before she shrieked...
However, she had not fallen down onto the ground as she had anticipated.
Yuan Xuan's large arms pulled her into his embrace. He was so close that she could even smell the faint smell of tobacco surging out from the side of his nostrils. The scent was mixed with the refreshing minty smell of his aftershave...
Unable to hide her embarrassment, her face reddened as she quietly murmured, "Thank... Thank you..."
Mu Chenyan was not worried about the pain from falling down but she was afraid of revealing a crude side of herself in front of him...
A single thought flashed in her mind as she realized that every woman wanted to present her most beautiful self to the man she adored. On the other hand, they would never willingly show him their embarrassing sides...
Still badly shaken, Mu Chenyan leaned against Yuan Xuan's arm while her little pale soft hands tightly held his sleeves. She resembled a meek and adorable little fluffy bunny that fully depended on him.
