CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 53: LIN WANYUE, SINCE YOU’RE NOT SLEEPY...

Although Feng Xuan was setting up a floor bed for Nangong Mo outside, separated by two screens, his voice carried exceptionally clearly into Yun Ran’s ears.

It was impossible to ignore...

Upon hearing the words ’cold water bath,’ Yun Ran pondered briefly, then understood everything.

Originally, she was worried about what might have happened after she fainted.

After all, he was somewhat out of control due to the medicine, and anything could have happened.

Now it seems...

A smile involuntarily curled up on Yun Ran’s lips, and she called out, "Guard Feng, you don’t need to set it up. Let the Prince come in."

Feng Xuan’s eyes brightened, quickly glancing at his Prince who was sitting aside watching him set up the bed, "Okay! Princess!"

Then he quickly walked to Nangong Mo’s side, lowered his voice and said, "Prince, the Princess invites you in!"

Nangong Mo lifted his eyes, casting a chilly glance, causing Feng Xuan to immediately stand upright, "I spoke too much! I’ll fetch water for your wash immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a whirlwind and floated away.

Nangong Mo reached out to fix his hair, looking in the direction of the inner room, his mouth slightly curved with a deep smile.

Although Yun Ran had told herself countless times: It’s just sharing a bed, what’s the big deal? Stay calm!

But at this moment, with the night deepening, candlelight flickering, she gazed at the man’s perfectly sculpted profile beside her, surrounded by his distinct pleasant aura with every breath.

Her heart simply couldn’t calm down.

"Lin Wanyue, why are you staring at the Prince instead of sleeping?"

Nangong Mo suddenly spoke, startling Yun Ran.

A bit guilty, "Who’s staring at you? So narcissistic!"

"Lin Wanyue, aren’t you sleepy?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Who knows how many hours I slept in the afternoon, then only ate, and now if I can still sleep... even pigs would envy me!]

The man suddenly turned over, stretched out his long arm, and drew her into his embrace, teasingly whispering in her ear:

"Lin Wanyue, since you’re not sleepy, why not continue what was left unfinished?"

"???"

Yun Ran was stunned, trembling as she replied, "N-no! I’m sleepy now!"

Her response was met with the man’s muffled laughter, bold and seductive.

"Lin Wanyue, look at you, scared like that, the Prince was teasing you, you’re so silly!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Nangong Mo! You damn scoundrel!]

Feeling frustrated, Yun Ran reached out and pinched his waist hard.

Nangong Mo laughed even more brazenly, "Oh dear, is my love disappointed?"

Yun Ran: "..."

To prevent any more shocking words from spewing out of that scoundrel mouth...

Yun Ran: "Nangong Mo, did you take a cold water bath today?"

The man responded with a sound, his lips curling into a playful smile, "Is my love feeling sorry?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Yes. But I won’t admit it!]

"No, I was just a bit surprised, thought you might have taken advantage while I was unconscious..."

Before Yun Ran could finish, the man flicked her forehead with his finger, "Am I less than a beast in your mind?"

Yun Ran: "..."

"A gentleman uses words, a villain uses fists!"

"Oh?"

The trailing tone rose, deep and alluring.

Yun Ran held her breath, suddenly realizing something, she tried to dodge but was a step too late.

The man’s handsome face enlarged in front of her, his thin lips kissed her.

Yun Ran’s heart raced, she lifted her hand to push him away, but fortunately, the man only gave a light teasing kiss before releasing her.

He pinched her cheeks lightly, smiling, "Sleep well, or else the Prince might..."

Although Nangong Mo didn’t voice the rest, the threat was clear, leaving nothing to say.

Yun Ran closed her eyes and shrank into the quilt, instantly ’asleep’.

Nangong Mo: "..."

The starry sky was brilliant, moonlight like water, as the night deepened silently.

Yun Ran was truly asleep, but Nangong Mo remained awake, looking at the sweet sleeping face of the girl in his arms, a gentle smile of satisfaction on his lips.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the roof.

Nangong Mo’s eyes sharpened, gleaming like the edge of a blade.

A few strange bird calls followed from the roof, seeming like some kind of signal.
