But Grandmother Xuan did not expect that by the time it got dark, the servants had not come to call her.
“Mo Han is too outrageous, isn't he tormenting the young girl to her limits?” Although the words were scolding, everyone could see that the old lady was very happy.
Sister Zhang also chimed in with a tease, “I suppose that girl must have something that attracts our cold young master’s heart.”
Grandmother Xuan smiled and said nothing. It wasn't that the girl was special. If it weren't for a certain person, how could Mo Han have touched her? And so out of control. Look, it's already dark, does he plan not to come down at all?
“Let’s go, we'll go back to eat. If we wait for them, we'll starve. You can take some food over to them later. If there’s a response, give it to them. If not, then leave them be. Don't disturb their young love.”
Sister Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, “Understood, old madam. How would we dare to disturb the young master’s good time?”
“You little rascal, let’s go. This old woman needs to eat a bit more tonight.”
Finally, the clouds had parted and the sun was shining. There would be no more obstacles for them. The next step should be their wedding, but… what was that girl’s relationship with the Norman family?
Even though she hadn't managed things for a long time, she had noticed that Jian You carried many good things with her. She probably hadn't even realized anything herself, right?
Never mind. Since Mo Han had found her, he must be more concerned about her than she was, so she wouldn't bother with it.
Grandmother Xuan's thoughts were correct. Initially, Xuan Mo Han dared not investigate Jian You because he had developed a sense of hesitation at the last moment. But now that the barrier had been broken, he naturally had to know about all her experiences during this time.
So, while Jian You slept soundly in his arms, Xuan Mo Han sent a message, and then he held her, unwilling to even blink.
However, as the room began to dim, the hand Xuan Mo Han had around her waist couldn't help but tighten. He secretly began to worry. She hadn't eaten lunch and he had severely tormented her all afternoon. If she didn't eat dinner either, he was afraid her recently recovered body wouldn't be able to bear it.
So he caressed the hair of the woman beside him and softly called out, “Qian Qian… wake up, can we eat first…”
But perhaps the woman was too exhausted, she didn’t react at all.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo Han felt a bit reluctant. Should he just let her sleep? He would find something for her to eat when she woke up.
“*Dong dong~*”
Just as he was thinking this, there was a light knock on the door. If it weren't for someone awake or very vigilant, they wouldn't have heard it, which showed that the person was very considerate.
“Young master, the kitchen has finished cooking the meal. I’ve brought it over for you. You should eat something…”
Now, Xuan Mo Han no longer had the inclination to speak for her. He lowered his head and lightly kissed Jian You on the forehead, gently withdrew his arm from around her neck, and then casually put on a robe before walking to the door.
He opened it only a small crack, took the meal box from Sister Zhang’s hand, and closed the door, giving no chance for anyone outside to see.
However, Sister Zhang, being so old, understood everything. A casual glance was enough to see the clothes scattered on the floor, and… the marks on the young master.
Her face flushed. Young people really had no restraint.
As Sister Zhang turned around, she saw the old lady behind her. “Old madam, you really scared me to death!”
Grandmother Xuan didn't mind at all. She narrowed her eyes and teased, “Look how red this little face is, what did you see?”
Seeing Sister Zhang’s aggrieved look, the old lady felt even better. “Go, go, go. Leave this place to the young couple to torment themselves…”
Xuan Mo Han walked to the two-meter-wide bed. Jian You was still sleeping soundly. He opened the meal box he was holding, sat by the bed, and looked down at the woman on the bed.
At this moment, Jian You's cheeks were flushed, as captivating as the evening glow. Xuan Mo Han couldn't help but lean in…
“…*Mm~*”
Jian You, in her sleep, dodged the suffocating aura from above and let out a displeased sound.
“Hehe~”
Xuan Mo Han didn't give her a chance to dodge. His large hand turned her face back and then continued to cover her mouth.
Now, Jian You had no choice but to wake up. She rolled her eyes, saw it was Xuan Mo Han, and directly turned over, mumbling, “Don’t move, I’m so tired…”
Xuan Mo Han went forward and hugged her, coaxing her gently, “Good girl, shall we eat first?”
No response…
What else could he do?
“Qian Qian, if you don’t eat obediently, then I will have to…”
As he spoke, Xuan Mo Han kissed her again, with a mix of gentleness and roughness, deepening the kiss bit by bit.
Jian You could only half-open her eyes and weakly pushed away the head above her.
Xuan Mo Han knew she was awake. He gently supported Jian You’s upper body, picked up the dinner, and scooped it towards her mouth, saying, “Good girl~ Open your mouth…”
Jian You opened her mouth drowsily. Seeing her slow movements, it was clear her consciousness had not yet fully returned. However, Xuan Mo Han was extremely fond of her cute appearance. He indulgently and patiently fed her mouthful after mouthful.
Xuan Mo Han only stopped when he was satisfied. Then he lay down and continued to hold her. Even though he had no sleepiness, the moments spent with her always passed so quickly…
…
Inside a luxurious palace abroad, the sun slowly filtered in from outside.
Ke Qian walked down the stairs slowly. He rubbed the signet ring on his hand and said to the man on the sofa nonchalantly, “Is Ye ready?”
Ke Ye lowered his eyes slightly. “Father, rest assured, everything is arranged.”
He hadn't expected that he actually had influence in City S. His father was truly unfathomable.
Ke Qian nodded with satisfaction. “Ye is capable. I can rest assured entrusting this matter to you.”
Ke Ye couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Ever since that stupid cat became useless, his father’s attitude towards him had improved considerably, but… it was all false affection!
Ke Qian was unaware of Ke Ye's inner thoughts, or perhaps he didn't care at all. He walked to the sofa, took out a piece of paper, and spread it out.
“Ye, this is that woman, and the person you must bring back this time. Her name is Jian You. She is a subordinate of Normanis and is currently living with the Xuan family in City S. She will be a bodyguard looking after their children, and next week, the school will hold an opening ceremony…”
How could this old man be so distrustful of him? He had already investigated. Naturally, he knew this woman and their plan.
“Yes, Father. At that time, I will take her away amidst the chaos.”
Ke Qian patted his son’s shoulder with great satisfaction. “My son has grown up and is capable. Father is getting old. After bringing the person back, you will join the group to help Father share the burden.”
Ke Ye looked at the man opposite him with a hint of excitement. “Ye will go all out and will not disappoint Father!”
Ke Qian and his son talked for a while longer, and then Ke Ye respectfully saw Ke Qian out.
