Dong Ling Wan hid behind the screen, her brows locked together as countless possibilities flashed through her mind. She didn't dare to say anything easily. First of all, her family had too many people, and if word got out, her reputation would be ruined. Right now, she was on the cusp of a storm, so it was really inappropriate for anything to happen to her.

She felt that she shouldn't blow up at this moment. Otherwise, it was impossible to guarantee that this person wouldn't do something so crazy.

Dong Ling Wan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and looked out through the half-transparent screen. She naturally hoped that this person was just a passerby, resting his feet in her yard. However, that person walked step by step towards her, and Dong Ling Wan's heart followed his footsteps and rose to her throat.

"The Heroic Assassin, stop!" As the person got closer and closer, the sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps reached her ears, as if a small drum was beating on her heart. Helpless, Eastern Ling Wan had no choice but to speak first.

After a long time, Dong Ling Wan heaved a sigh of relief. At least she had stopped.

However, there are too many people in the mansion, and we are a boy and a girl alone. It is hard to avoid people talking and causing unnecessary trouble. When chivalrous hero has had enough rest, let's leave as soon as possible. This humble one also will assume that no one has come here before tonight. " While trying to calm her tone as much as possible, she nervously peeked outside. This figure looked a bit familiar.

That person remained silent. He simply moved his feet again and continued to walk towards the screen. Dong Ling Wan'er's heart tightened. "Don't come close if you dare to be rude."

The people outside the window looked at the silhouette on the screen and could not help but feel it was funny. There were so many ladies in the capital that did not hold back from being polite, but this "respect" was the one that she talked about the most.

"What orders do you have, Miss? Is the water cold?" He heard her voice at the right time. It was probably because she was in a rush and had sharp ears, so she must have heard the sound.

"Nothing." Dong Ling Wan replied, before lowering her voice again, "If the hero has nothing else to do, he should leave as soon as possible. Don't cause us any trouble. No one can defend against the three hundred guards of my mansion."

The person on the other side of the screen smiled. She was polite first, then courteous later. She was indeed a person who knew how to speak.

After a moment of silence, warm laughter came from outside: "Aren't you going to come out and meet people?"

Dong Ling Wan's heart trembled. Xiao Qian!

Dong Ling Wan's heart was set on fire. How could she go out to see him with her light muslin clothes on? This person really didn't know etiquette. Who would come to someone's house late at night and climb over a wall!

It was getting late and the dew was getting heavier. Naturally, Dong Ling Wan Wan'er would not feel cold if she was in the hot spring, but now that they were standing by the pool, the coldness was becoming more and more obvious. Dong Ling Wan lightly rubbed her hands. There's so much trouble at night. It's really inappropriate for Your Highness to appear in the courtyard of your room. It's better for him to leave earlier.

Right now, all Dong Ling Wan wanted to do was send Xiao Qian away. As for offering tea as compensation, hehe, so what if she didn't honor his request? Would he still dare to speak of what had happened today?

In the dead of night, a sound could be heard clearer than the sound of daytime. Dong Ling Wan did not dare to speak loudly, and only hated herself for not being happy when bathing. If someone was by her side today, they would not be in such an awkward situation!

Dong Ling Wan held onto a crack on the screen to see what was happening outside. As expected, Xiao Qian's gentle voice came from above her, making her feel very comfortable. "Is it cold?"

Dong Ling Wan assumed that he saw the shadow on the screen when he crossed his arms, and wanted to deny it, but his voice came again, very close, as if it was right above his head: "Open the screen a little."

Dong Ling stood guard by the side of the screen. Through the cracks, she saw Xiao Qian's moon-white, embroidered, and cloud pattern close by. While she was thinking, the person said, "You're waiting for me to pull it open?"

Dong Ling Wan was really scared by his words, and thought that he wouldn't do anything rash, so she hid herself behind the screen and opened a narrow gap, passing over a crescent white cloud outer robe. She could only hear Xiao Qian's voice, "Put it on first, go back to the Warm Pavilion and change your clothes."

Dong Ling Wan felt a bit discouraged. She still had to entertain him when they were out. This was a fox! After a moment of silence, Dong Ling Wan was still unwilling to wear his clothes. "I'll have to trouble Your Highness to pass the outer garments on the rack to Ling Wan."

"This King doesn't like touching women's clothes."

Dong Ling Wan frowned. This Xiao Qian was really troublesome!

Through the gaps in the window, she saw Xiao Qian standing in front of the limestone with his hands behind his back. She pushed open the screen and quietly went back inside the house, and when she arrived at the door, she turned around and glanced at Xiao Qian's back once more. That person was staring at the moon with his hands behind his back. However, a moment later, she changed her mind. To barge into a woman's courtyard in the middle of the night, even a gentleman would be a hypocrite!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xiao Qian turned his head to look at the door. He didn't know why, but he smiled and shook his head. He took off the bamboo flute from his waist and began to play with it.

At this moment, the door creaked open again. Knowing that she was about to come out, Xiao Qian's first reaction was to turn his head and pretend that he didn't care. When he finally reacted, he felt extremely awkward.

When Dong Ling Wan came out again, she had changed into a honey colored brocade dress, tied around her waist with a red silk ribbon, the hem of her dress was adorned with tassels, the woman had her hands folded in front of her stomach, her wide sleeves reaching up to her knees. The woman had a gentle and attractive appearance, and her hand was still holding onto that crescent-white outer robe. In this quiet night, she was like a flower demon that had sneaked into the world.

Xiao Qian looked at her. "Not bad, Flower Demon. A book like Flower Demon."

Dong Ling Wan bowed, handing over the clothes in her hands. "Many thanks, Your Highness." No one answered for a long time. Dong Ling Wan raised her head and saw that Xiao Qian seemed to be in a daze. She frowned and called out again, "Your Highness?"

Xiao Qian was called back to Su Ling'er, and only now did he realize that he was completely dumbfounded!

It was the same as most of the beauties in the capital. There was a sense of elegance, gentleness and gentleness, and there seemed to always be a tinge of melancholy between their brows. If one were to speak of anything unusual, it was probably just that pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with spirit energy.

Her looks were only in the middle ranks of the capital's top ladies, not to mention that compared to the other girls of this world, "peerless beauty" was a word that was beyond her reach. However, it made him unable to ignore her.

Xiao Qian thought that he had seen quite a few peerless beauties, but there had never been a person who could make him feel like this. He was actually dazzled by the beauty of a woman today!

Looking at the slightly puzzled expression in Eastern Ling Wan's eyes, Xiao Qian actually had the urge to run away!

Xiao Qian put the bamboo flute under her arm and lifted her body. Then, he took her robe and put it on the stone table.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken a word, Eastern Ling Wan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why have you come here so late in the night? What orders do you have for Ling Wan?"

Xiao Qian smiled kindly as he took out a porcelain jar and placed it on the stone table. "I'll treat you to a cup of tea."
