The fog at Liquan, dispersed clouds reveal the light.
Under the lamplight, Yun Qian's crimson waist wrap accentuated her slender waist, with dark embroidery above and a long skirt like smoke mist below, making her figure appear long and graceful.
But because she truly showed no expression, even though she wore clothes that only spouses should see... it still couldn't stir the slightest hint of allure.
"Miss?" Xu Chang'an blinked slightly and shrank back into the tub: "Didn't you say you wanted to rest."
Well, good heavens.
That's totally against the rules.
Xu Chang'an looked at Yun Qian's outfit and felt his blood was surging with energy, sinking even further into the bathing tub, only his head remained above the water.
"Couldn't sleep." Yun Qian said, walking towards Xu Chang'an's tub.
She wasn't even close yet, but Xu Chang'an already caught a whiff of a pleasant scent.
"..."
Xu Chang'an's gaze drifted back and forth across Yun Qian's clothes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, when did you buy this outfit?"
"Outfit?" Yun Qian glanced down and said, "Didn't you buy it for , along with that box of rouge last ti?"
"I bought it?" Xu Chang'an blinked, then noticed the embroidery mark of Piluo Residence on the shoulder.
He didn't understand what styles were popular in the city, so every ti he returned, he went to the clothing shops in Beisang City, buying many pieces in one go based on the shop girls' recomndations.
The girls in the clothing shops knew he was buying for his wife, so they would put all sorts of styles into the mix, inevitably mixing in a few styles that shouldn't be worn outside.
"It really is sothing I bought." Xu Chang'an paused for a mont and said, "Miss, this outfit shouldn't be worn outside."
"Do you think I'm not very smart?" Yun Qian lightly lifted the skirt hem, stepping on the little bit of accumulated water on the ground, and brushed aside the hair falling around her ears, stating seriously, "I won't wear it outside, so... you don't like this outfit?"
Xu Chang'an watched his own Miss Yun's serious look, feeling as if his heart had been struck hard by a hamr, covering his forehead: "I like it."
Under these circumstances, pretending to be pure wouldn't work—years of being together had long made Yun Qian perfectly aware of what Xu Chang'an liked and what hobbies he had.
"If you want to look, just look openly." Yun Qian shook her head and said, "It was ant for you to see, you know."
[Warning, detected that host is in extre danger...]
[Warning!]
[Celestial Dao Points 96378919...]
The system panel once again began a new round of Celestial Dao Points spamming, but Xu Chang'an was already too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else.
Xu Chang'an realized he had been completely captivated by Yun Qian, taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, rippling the water surface in the tub.
He felt that all the patience in his life was being used at this mont, resisting the urge to get up and carry Yun Qian away.
He still rembered, his wife had previously said that she was tired and wanted to sleep.
"What are you holding back for?" Yun Qian curiously looked at Xu Chang'an's face, seeing it flushed red, as she walked to the edge of the tub and gently touched his face.
Xu Chang'an's eye twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Sotis, I really don't know if you're doing it intentionally or unintentionally, Miss."
It's important to know that not everyone can withstand Yun Qian's flirting, intentional or unintentional.
Xu Chang'an felt that if he wasn't sufficiently restrained, he might have had several children by now.
"How could it be unintentional?" Yun Qian shook her head, seriously saying, "Didn't I say it was ant for you to see?"
"Why?" Xu Chang'an finally couldn't resist asking.
In the past, Yun Qian wouldn't be acting so strangely.
"What's this?" Yun Qian didn't respond to Xu Chang'an's question, instead pulling out the hand she had behind her.
Xu Chang'an looked over to see her slender fingers holding a delicate purse embroidered with little mandarin ducks, which was clearly a woman's item.
This is...
Zhu Pingniang's purse.
"How do you have a woman's purse? I don't understand." Yun Qian said calmly.
"Miss, listen to my explanation!" Xu Chang'an felt a chill down his spine and imdiately stood up.
Yun Qian looked at him.
He sat back in the water, saying helplessly, "It's Steward Zhu's seeds."
"Seeds? What seeds?"
"She said it's for Beauty Fruits, asked to take them back to the Chaoyun Sect to plant. If you don't believe , Miss... you can open it and check." Xu Chang'an explained.
"I believe you." Yun Qian lightly hung the purse on the edge of the tub and said, "I'm just asking, why are you so nervous?"
Yun Qian watched Xu Chang'an's nervous look, gently curled her lips, and walked behind him, picking up a nearby ladle: "Let wash for you."
"..."
Water glimred with light, the room filled with steam, Xu Chang'an felt Yun Qian's hand gently combing his hair, feeling her nails brushing his scalp, comfortably closing his eyes.
"Miss, your technique is getting more and more skillful." Xu Chang'an comnted.
"Learned from you." Yun Qian nodded. Usually, when she bathed, Xu Chang'an would be by her side to take care of her, so she picked up so of his techniques.
"I can't say I'm very happy hearing that." Xu Chang'an sighed, then spoke as if discussing family matters, with a calm tone: "So, has sothing happened?"
"What do you an?" Yun Qian paused her motion.
"Miss is a bit strange today." Xu Chang'an stated honestly, whether it was inexplicable jealousy or this obvious attempt to please him, neither were actions his usual Miss Yun would take.
"I'm also a woman." Yun Qian blinked: "Can't I feel jealous?"
Xu Chang'an scratched his head, saying, "I thought you would usually be quite confident in , Miss."
"Um..."
"I want to hear the truth." Xu Chang'an grabbed Yun Qian's slender wrist and frowned: "Did that little girl who just moved nearby teach you this?"
Thinking of Gu Qiancheng coming to the tavern to catch him cheating, Xu Chang'an showed a strange expression.
"Her? What's it got to do with that kid?" Yun Qian tried to free her hands but couldn't match Xu Chang'an's strength, so she said, "She... I wanted to make breakfast for you, but as you know, I can't handle knives, and my cooking isn't good."
Xu Chang'an nodded.
After Yun Qian once injured her hand in the kitchen with a knife, he hadn't let her near the cutting board again.
Yun Qian said: "You seem to care about it... so I just said it directly, learned from following you."
"From ?" Xu Chang'an shook his hands repeatedly: "That's impossible."
"I've been idle lately, so I took out the books you wrote to read."
"Books?"
Xu Chang'an rembered the books he used to cover Yun Qian's face.
"Um, you wrote about many won, thinking maybe... they are the kind you like, so I learned a few things." Yun Qian said.
Thinking about Yun Qian's sudden jealousy, Xu Chang'an felt a foreboding sensation.
"The female leads I wrote? For example?"
"Chi Lian Fairy?" Yun Qian's nail lightly touched the area around Xu Chang'an's ear.
