Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

When people brought up her injury again, Xiao Fengyi's face darkened.

"It's nothing, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious, it's just a scrape."

With a faint smile on her face, Xiao Fengyi answered, but there was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.

"That sounds nice, just a scratch? Look, your clothes are all stained red."

Feng Xingye's voice turned cold. Xiao Fengyi's nonchalant tone, in particular, was infuriating.

As he spoke, he stood up and went to Xiao Fengyi's side, even wanting to see her wounds.

"Oh dear, I said it's nothing, so it's nothing." Xiao Fengyi naturally wouldn't let him get away with it, and dodged the attack.

One persisted relentlessly, while the other dodged and weaved; the two of them ended up pulling at each other.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, Xiao Fengyi gasped. It turned out that the pulling earlier had accidentally aggravated her wound.

This sound was as if it had flipped a switch on Feng Xingye. He immediately stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman who was frowning.

"How can you be so inconsiderate?" Feng Xingye complained, then turned around and shouted, "Someone come here!"

As he finished speaking, the guard stood at the door with his hands clasped in a fist salute.

"Your Highness, your subordinate is here."

"Go and get the medicine."

Before long, a guard brought over medicine for the wound, which was contained in a white jade porcelain bottle.

"Let me apply the medicine for you."

Before Xiao Fengyi could react, the person was already beside her.

Because the injury was on her shoulder, the man directly pulled down Xiao Fengyi's collar.

By the time the others realized what was happening, her fair shoulders were already exposed, and it was too late to stop them.

When Feng Xingye noticed the wound on Xiao Fengyi's shoulder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he could not hide the heartache in his eyes.

He first gently wiped the area around the wound with a clean cloth, and then carefully applied the medicine.

The two stood close together, and Feng Xingye changed his previous rude behavior, becoming gentle and considerate.

Moreover, while gently applying the medicine, he also kept an eye on Xiao Fengyi's expression.

"Did I hurt you?"

Is this pressure okay?

"If it hurts, just tell me, and I'll be gentler."

Each caring question further revealed Feng Xingye's meticulousness.

Xiao Fengyi pursed her lips, her face unconsciously turning red as she listened to the man's question.

A ray of sunlight shone in and enveloped the two of them, bathing them in a halo of light.

The woman's faint fragrance stirred something within Feng Xingye, making him somewhat distracted.

One person blushed as red as a ripe tomato, head bowed, lips pursed, unable to look away.

The other one's eyes held a hidden affection, filled with tenderness and heartache.

Gradually, pink bubbles surrounded the two of them, filling the room with an air of ambiguity.

Xiao Fengyi found the process of applying the medicine somewhat agonizing.

She felt especially shy when faced with men's occasional acts of care.

Just as she was about to take matters into her own hands, a deep, magnetic male voice came from beside her ear, "Alright, be careful this time, don't aggravate the wound again."

These words were like a pardon, making Xiao Fengyi instinctively want to leave. She suddenly stood up, but the man pressed her back down into the chair.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Fengyi turned her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

To everyone's surprise, the man didn't answer. Instead, he carefully straightened the woman's collar, his movements still gentle.

The man's fingertips inadvertently touched Xiao Fengyi's collarbone, making the woman blush almost all the way to her neck.

Withdrawing his hand, the man rubbed his fingers together, savoring the feeling of his fingertips touching the woman's fair skin, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Fengyi glared at the man, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

"Well, my grandmother gave me some instructions. You should get some rest."

After saying that, Xiao Fengyi turned to leave, not giving the man a chance to reply.

Hearing footsteps, Feng Xingye came to his senses and saw the little woman walking hurriedly, as if she were fleeing in panic.

Looking at the little woman's appearance, Feng Xingye pursed his lips, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Seeing the young woman about to step out the door, the man darted over and grabbed her arm.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

The man's sudden movement startled Xiao Fengyi, who turned her head and glared angrily at him with wide eyes.

"You haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Feng Xingye was a man of action, and he pulled the person back as he spoke.

“Talk things out properly. What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging at each other?”

Xiao Fengyi tried to shake him off, but failed. Feeling a little guilty, she spoke somewhat hastily.

The man grabbed the person and pulled them into his arms.

"You heartless little woman, no matter what, I came to the Shen residence for you, didn't I? And you just abandon me after a few words?"

Feng Xingye gently pinched Xiao Fengyi's nose, his tone clearly one of reproach.

His words made Xiao Fengyi blush.

The atmosphere between the two of them was already a bit awkward, which was why they made up an excuse. Now that they've been called out, they're even more embarrassed.

The door to the room was open. Xiao Fengyi slapped away the man's hand that was around her, sat down in a seat to the side, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and after a long while, she finally spoke a sentence.

"Well, I have something to do, you know, my grandmother was just poisoned and is weak."

My maternal grandfather doesn't care about family matters anymore. Those few people made mistakes and were locked up, so I had to take care of everything inside and outside the mansion.

So, so…

In the end, Xiao Fengyi couldn't continue speaking because the man remained silent, simply resting his chin on his hand and staring at her intently.

"Keep making it up."

These words were written bluntly on Feng Xingye's expressionless face.

"Hmph, anyway, I'm telling the truth, believe it or not."

Being stared at made Xiao Fengyi's already red face turn even redder, like a ripe shrimp. She decided to act shamelessly, stomping her foot and letting out a cold snort.

"Okay, okay, of course I believe you."

Seeing that he had angered the young woman, Feng Xingye had no choice but to give in.

The fact that a prince was humbly coaxing and agreeing with her made Xiao Fengyi feel even more embarrassed, and she twisted her handkerchief in her hands.

"I really have something to do and can't take you with me. How about I come and keep you company later?"

Seeing that Xiao Fengyi had compromised and that her words were ingratiating, Feng Xingye was finally satisfied and nodded.

"But you said you wouldn't break your promise, so go ahead and get busy."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't happen."

Xiao Fengyi quickly agreed and turned to leave.

Xiao Fengyi hurried along, knowing that this man was difficult to deal with, and if she delayed any longer, she didn't know when she would be able to get away.
