Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan'an was a man who could call the wind and call the rain. He was the only one who made it impossible for others to hide. Now he felt what it felt like to have legs filled with lead.

"Second Master, don't tell me that you can kiss any woman just because you resolve the crisis."

"Regarding the attic incident, I have already said that I don't want you to be responsible. At that time, I just didn't want to have any more disputes with anyone or anything in the Marquis' Mansion. It doesn't mean that I am a fickle woman."

Seeing her cold tone, Li Xuan lowered his eyes and said helplessly, "I didn't mean that."

Ye Zhen held her breath, wondering if she had said something too harsh. "I know Second Master is not that kind of person."

Li Xuan released his hands that were supporting the wall, and leaned against the wall gasping for breath, as if he had just come down from a battlefield. The two silver bracelets on his wrists touched each other, and the soul-cleansing sound gave him some calmness.

He mocked himself in his heart, thinking that he had the courage to do it but not the courage to admit it. To let the girl say such things, he was really... a coward.

If those things hadn't happened, he would have wanted to hold the person in his arms and do more things that he had never dared to think of before.

This should have made him so happy that he was willing to give up his ascension to heaven, but, but...

Li Xuan clenched his fist and said, "If I were not a Taoist priest, would the Second Miss be willing to marry me?"

Ye Zhen had put all her energy into the interrogation just now. After not getting a response and being dragged on for so long, her anxiety had almost disappeared and she was not that nervous anymore.

She chuckled helplessly, "I have no reputation now. I'd be very lucky to marry the second master of the Marquis' Mansion."

She wiped the sweat off her palms with a handkerchief and joked, "There's no need to think about marriage."

Li Xuan'an's throat felt bitter, and his internal organs were in such agony that his usually cool and handsome facial features were now shrouded in an inextricable sorrow.

His silence was the answer to Ye Zhen.

Never mind, there's no regrets now that I've said it.

After all, she wasn't lucky enough to be reborn every time, and she didn't want to have any regrets in this life.

Ye Zhen lowered her head and suppressed all the emotions that had been expressed before, just like turning a wound inside out, cleaning it, and then turning the flesh back over. The pain was so severe that her vision was blurred.

Ye Zhen, be strong. If the person you like doesn't like you, it doesn't affect your life.

Within the scope of his ability as a Taoist priest, it is equivalent to handing his life over to you. How can you ask for anything else?

"I know your answer, Master." Ye Zhen stood up straight, gritted her teeth and took two steps. "There's nothing wrong with the Dong family. Thank you for your reminder, Master."

She cooled down all her senses, but couldn't take a single step forward the next second.

Disappointment slowly dissipated from his pupils, replaced by shock.

Because Li Xuan hugged her waist from behind, almost crashing into her with his whole body, his arms were stronger than ever before, and his breath from above his head was hot and overbearing.

But the voice was timid, "You are not allowed to be with him."

Ye Zhen blinked twice, "What?"

Her body was once again embedded in Li Xuan'an's chest, her chin lifted up, bearing the touch of his trembling but hot lips.

Not gentle, not gentle at all.

Biting, sucking, stroking repeatedly, wishing to eat her, wishing to put all the words that could not be said in this kiss.

Ye Zhen felt as if there was something too heavy in his heart to let go, and for a moment she forgot to struggle and let him take it, gently patting his increasingly trembling back.

Li Xuan suddenly came back to his senses, his distracted eyes paused for a moment before regaining clarity, and then moved away from her lips.

Ye Zhen leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. She touched her lips with her fingers, which were swollen and painful. Then she realized that her whole body was burning.

Before she could speak, Li Xuan panted and said word by word, "You are not allowed to be with Dong Zhang. You are not allowed to watch the fun, and you are not allowed to go out on the street, even if Dong Yuan is with you."

Ye Zhen looked at her, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she asked knowingly, "Why?"

Li Xuan'an's brows twitched slightly, and he was about to suppress his anger again after hearing the words. Ye Zhen shrank her shoulders to avoid it.

He did not continue and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ye Zhen's face turned even redder. She covered her lips with the back of her hand, and there was some coquettish complaint in her eyes, "I don't know."

Li Xuan held her waist with one hand and pulled her into his arms. His eyes became more unbridled because of the kiss just now. "You are forcing me to interrogate you, how could I not know?"

Ye Zhen turned her head and still said nothing.

The purple dress suits her skin very well, which is white, tender and delicate. Li Xu'an's heart beat faster and faster, and when his lips brushed against her earlobe, both of them trembled.

"Say or not?"

"Ok?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll kiss you."

Ye Zhen was completely panicked, "No."

Li Xuan laughed, "Is it that we can't be together, or that I can't kiss you?"

Ye Zhen was like a prisoner who had been disarmed and had no power to fight back. Li Xuan had never been so reckless since he was rejected by her at Baiyun Temple.

Ye Zhen was not as shy as she is now when she confessed her feelings just now.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Xuan turned his head and put his lips on Ye Zhen's face.

She quickly begged for mercy, "Don't kiss me."

The trembling breath was simply a seed of ignition. Li Xuan'an's eyes dimmed, "Don't like it?"

"No, my mouth hurts."

Li Xuan laughed silently.

When Ye Zhen returned to the east corridor, the dragon boat race had ended and everyone was gathered together to guess what the prize in the box was.

Dong Yuan was also in high spirits, and didn't notice that the redness in Ye Zhen's eyes had not yet faded. He pulled her to the bridge and said, "I heard there's a dragon man inside! The dragon man's tears are pearls."

"Really?" Ye Zhen agreed casually, his mind was not here at all.

Dong Zhang naturally noticed her still swollen lips, and subconsciously glanced at the corner, meeting Li Xuan'an's cold and bright gaze. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that the Imperial Master was showing off something?

The prize was naturally not a dragon man, but twelve rare pearls.

Although it is different from what we imagined, the pearls are enough to make everyone jealous.

Dong Yuan curled his lips, turned around and remembered that his eldest brother's hairpin had not been given to him yet, so he immediately pulled Ye Zhen tight, "Ah Zhen, my eldest brother has something..."

Dong Zhang interrupted his sister in time, "Second Miss Ye, did the Imperial Master embarrass you?"

"I noticed that the Imperial Master looked unhappy both times when he saw you."

Ye Zhen couldn't help but think of what happened just now. Her cheeks were hot. She lowered her head and said, "No. It's just that the time for my brother to leave for the Qing Sect has been set."

Dong Zhang frowned, "These matters can be passed on by servants. Even if the Imperial Master wants to see you, he should send you a letter first. Why do you always appear suddenly?"

Ye Zhen didn't expect him to ask so much in detail, "I just told you when I happened to meet you."

As soon as she said this, she realized that she could have found a more appropriate excuse.

Dong Zhang hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his eyelashes, "It's too hot outside, let's go into the restaurant. A Yuan ordered a lot of your favorite food."

The private room had a sunshade curtain and servants were fanning the room. As soon as Dong Yuan came in, he half-collapsed on the soft chair, feeling very comfortable.

The waiter brought in the cooled green bean paste, and Dong Yuan couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, but Dong Zhang stopped Ye Zhen's bowl and asked, "Do you have green bean soup?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Bring in a bowl."

"Okay." The waiter looked happy but he was confused in his heart. Originally there was only mung bean soup. After the general gave the order, they quickly made mung bean paste. Why did they want mung bean soup now?

When the door was closed, Dong Zhang explained to Ye Zhen, "I'm sorry, A Yuan likes to be cool, I thought all women were like her."

"I'll keep this in mind for the future. Miss Ye Er shouldn't eat anything too cold."
