Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

The next day was a day off. The day was bright and sunny, and the servants outside were already waiting for the prince to get up and wash.

They stood at the door for a long time but the prince did not summon them.

Knowing that the prince might still be sleeping and not wanting to disturb him, they withdrew.

I'll come and help the prince wash up in a little while.

Shen Wangchuan had been looking forward to the palace banquet for the past few days, thinking that he would encounter interesting things at the banquet and also be able to eat his fill.

As a result, I didn't sleep well for several nights.

Now I can sleep until I naturally wake up, and I feel so refreshed.

He slowly opened his eyes. There were no lights on in the room, but the light from outside shone in through the window.

What's going on? He usually remembers waking up with the lights on in the room and it being pitch black outside. What's wrong today?

He didn't have time to think about all that; he just felt a bit sore and numb in his arm, and there was something pressing on it.

Turning my head, I saw Xie Liuyan's sleeping face.

If his arm hadn't been pinned down by the other person, Shen Wangchuan would have rubbed his eyes to see if he was hallucinating.

Xie Liuyan looked calm and relaxed, his brows unfurrowed, unlike the expressive face he usually showed when facing him.

To be honest, Shen Wangchuan rarely saw Xie Liuyan asleep. As his personal bodyguard, Shen Wangchuan usually woke up later than Xie Liuyan.

After he finished getting ready, he saw Xie Liuyan, dressed neatly, beckoning to him and saying, "Let's go to court."

Seeing Xie Liuyan resting his head on his arm, with his other hand seemingly on the other's waist, was a bit stimulating for Shen Wangchuan.

He stared intently at Xie Liuyan, as if trying to etch the image of the sleeping man into his heart.

Ayan always frowns, as if she has endless worries to deal with.

Indeed, this is true. Xie Liuyan is the Regent, the pillar of the Yun Kingdom, and the mainstay of the Regent's Palace.

If Shen Wangchuan had something on his mind, he could naturally ask his subordinates to do it, or at the very least, he could shamelessly go to his father for help.

His father always cleaned up his messes.

However, Xie Liuyan was different from him. The strategies he studied and the classics he read were all about governing the country and managing the world.

Despite it being a last resort for the late emperor to bestow this title, Xie Liuyan truly shouldered all the honor, responsibility, and envy and resentment from others.

He felt sorry for the other person, but all he could do was to help Xie Liuyan relax while spending time with him, so that he wouldn't be constantly burdened by the weight of his responsibilities.

As Shen Wangchuan pondered, his hand, which had been resting on Xie Liuyan's waist, unconsciously rose up.

Gently stroking Xie Liuyan's brows, tracing them little by little.

What to do? It's so early in the morning, and he seems quite energetic, showing no signs of a hangover.

Shen Wangchuan felt a pang of sympathy and a slight urge to kiss Ayan.

He seemed to be a little drunk last night; I wonder if he took advantage of Ayan while he was intoxicated.

Looking at the other person's tightly pursed thin lips, Shen Wangchuan still harbored malicious intentions.

Anyway, Ah Yan was sleeping soundly, so as long as he didn't go too far and leave any marks, Ah Yan wouldn't notice.

As he thought to himself, he moved his head closer and closer to Xie Liuyan.

When a light kiss landed on Xie Liuyan's lips, he opened his eyes, a rare occurrence for him.

Shen Wangchuan was forced to change his battle plan due to this unexpected turn of events. He slowly sat up straight, but still couldn't bear to pull his arm away from Ayan's pillow.

Her tone was hesitant, a little guilty, and unsteady: "Good morning, Ayan. How did you sleep last night?"

Xie Liuyan almost instantly understood Shen Wangchuan's intention the moment he opened his eyes. He guessed that what the other party wanted to say was, "Ayan, why are you awake? I didn't kiss you enough last night."

Thinking about Xie Liuyan last night gave me a headache, and even my conversation with Shen Wangchuan this morning was tinged with anger.

"If you don't wake up, you'll try to take liberties with me again."

When Shen Wangchuan heard Xie Liuyan refer to himself as "this king," he realized that the other party was a little angry.

He leaned over and hugged her. "How is that frivolous? I like Ayan. A kiss is a way to express affection."

Xie Liuyan guessed that the other party had long forgotten about the three rules they agreed to when they got together, and there was no point in bringing them up again.

Shen Wangchuan is like that; he only remembers the conditions that are advantageous to him.

Xie Liuyan's anger was slightly calmed by the hug, and he spoke less harshly.

He was still bothered by what happened last night: "It was indeed a way to express love, but Shen Wangchuan, do you even know what restraint is?!"

"Last night, after drinking, you were like a little madwoman who had run away from somewhere. It really took me a lot of effort to bring you back to the manor."

Upon hearing him say that, Shen Wangchuan also felt guilty.

He did drink quite a bit at the palace banquet last night behind Ayan's back, but he didn't think too much about it at the time. He just thought the wine was sweet and was far inferior to the strong liquor he used to drink outside.

Who knew that as soon as the palace banquet ended, the aftereffects of the wine kicked in, and Shen Wangchuan felt dizzy and his memory of what happened afterward was almost completely gone.

This is probably what happens when you're drunk, he thought to himself.

Ah Yan went with me at the time, but he got drunk. Wouldn't it be difficult for Ah Yan to return to the palace by himself?

It seems I can't be too careless when I'm out in the future, otherwise who will take care of Ayan?

His tone inevitably carried a hint of self-reproach: "I'm sorry, Ayan, I won't do it like this again."

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "I didn't do anything bad last night, did I?"

Seeing that he seemed to have some remorse, Xie Liuyan unconsciously put his right hand on his neck, leaving a red mark on the side of his neck where the other person kissed him.

Xie Liuyan stared at himself in the mirror for a long time last night, but he still doesn't know if the swelling has subsided this morning.

Xie Liuyan's tone was ambiguous: "It's good that you know. As for whether you did anything wrong, you can think about it yourself."

Following his movement, Shen Wangchuan's gaze unconsciously drifted to Ayan's neck.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something astonishing.

Why is there a red mark on Ayan's neck? Against her snow-white skin, it inexplicably adds a touch of sensuality.

Shen Wangchuan swallowed hard and asked unconsciously, "That Ayan, what's that on your neck?"

Xie Liuyan sat up halfway and sneered upon hearing this, "You're asking me about the good things you've done?"

Shen Wangchuan immediately became obedient. Seeing that Ayan's expression was about to change again, he quickly changed the subject: "It seems we slept in late today. Is everything alright at court?"

"Today is a day off; there is no need to attend court."

So that's how it is. Shen Wangchuan also wanted to move around and wash up with Ayan.

But as soon as he lifted his leg, his body suddenly stiffened. Oh no, he had forgotten about that.

"Ah Yan, you get up first, I'll get up right away."

Xie Liuyan clearly noticed something unusual in the other person's expression. His gaze went down and fell on the person who was full of energy that morning.

Seeing the person's current awkwardness, he suddenly had a few thoughts of his own:

"What? Even a hooligan has moments of shyness?"
