Chapter 220 How Can I Explain This to My Uncle?
Mu Qingyan was soaking in the tub, washing away her fatigue. She had been busy traveling these days and hadn't felt tired. But now that she had stopped, she felt pain all over her body. Her thighs were rubbed raw from riding a horse, and it felt so sore when it touched the water!
She gritted her teeth in pain and almost screamed out loud.
I fell asleep halfway through the bath and was woken up by the cold water.
She was glad that she didn't slip into the tub and drown. Otherwise, she would have become the first time traveler in history to drown while taking a bath.
There is someone knocking on the door outside.
Mu Qingyan patted her dizzy head and stood up to put on her clothes.
When she got dressed and went out to open the door, Ye Qingtang was ready to bang on the door. When he saw the door open, he almost couldn't stop himself from banging on her. "You didn't open the door for so long? I thought you were dead in there. How am I going to explain this to my uncle?"
Mu Qingyan was confused, and for a moment she couldn't figure out who the uncle she was talking about was. "Princess, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Qingtang pouted, "Well! I just came to tell you that your brother, who is even more shameless than a girl, was scared away by me. I want to ask you, does he have a family? Or, is he engaged?"
Mu Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"Isn't he your brother? How come you don't even know if he has a marriage?" Ye Qingtang obviously didn't believe it and naturally thought that she was fooling him.
"I don't know, but I don't think so."
Ye Qingtang smiled, "No, that's fine! I'll ask my mother to propose marriage right now!"
what?
Propose marriage?
Before Mu Qingyan could even open her mouth to speak, she had already run away in a hurry.
After she ran away, Xulin came out with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Yan'er, when can we set off back to Beijing?" He was very distressed.
Mu Qingyan saw him frowning, "Why? When you heard that the princess wanted to propose marriage, you were worried that you would be like your sixth brother and marry into the family? Ah——"
Xulin patted her on the forehead and said, "I came here with you. Do you have any conscience? You have to deal with this trouble for me!"
Mu Qingyan smiled and touched her forehead. "Brother, this isn't a problem, is it? I saw that when you first saw the princess, your eyes widened! You were almost drooling!"
Xu Lin's face turned red visibly, "Don't talk nonsense, she is a princess."
"She is a princess, what's the difference between you and her? You are the future leader of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Mu Qingyan didn't have the energy to talk anymore. "Well, we've been traveling for so many days. I haven't slept and neither have you. We are not made of iron. Let's go and have a rest. When the princess has prepared the troops, we will set off to return to the capital. This time, we won't be able to sleep for a few days. Even a man of iron can't stand it."
Seeing that she looked unwell, Xulin urged her to go to bed quickly and went to the room in the other yard.
The moment he lay down on the bed, he thought he would not be able to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, his eyelids started to droop as soon as he touched the bed, and he fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
When I opened my eyes again, there was a person lying beside the bed. Who else could it be but Princess Changning?
Xu Lin was startled and sat up quickly. Unexpectedly, this movement woke up the person who was originally sleeping. She straightened up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Why are you awake? It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
She felt a little cold and rubbed her hands subconsciously.
Seeing this, Xulin covered her with the quilt, got out of bed and put on his coat.
There was a charcoal fire in the room, so it wasn't cold, but if you lay outside without a blanket, you would still be cold.
"It's so late, why are you in my room, Princess?" Xu Lin distanced himself from her. Men and women should not be too close to each other, and he felt it was an offense if they were too close.
Seeing that he was so far away from her, Ye Qingtang wrapped herself in a quilt and sat on the bed, "I was afraid that you would run away, so I came to guard you."
Xu Lin was stunned, "Princess..."
She said with some displeasure, "I said, don't call me Princess, call me Qingtang!"
Xu Lin said nothing.
Ye Qingtang simply stood up, put down the quilt, stared into his eyes, and walked towards him step by step.
When she took a step forward, he took a step back, until his back hit the screen behind him. He lost his balance for a moment and fell backwards. Ye Qingtang wanted to pull him up, but he was also pulled down by him. The two of them fell to the ground together...
Their foreheads collided and Ye Qingtang cried out in pain.
Xulin didn't care about the pain and his heart was in turmoil.
There was only one lamp on in the room, and the light was very dim, making the atmosphere so ambiguous.
Ye Qingtang was lying on top of him, their bodies pressed tightly together. The girl's unique fragrance drifted into his nostrils, making him feel distracted.
In the dim light, Ye Qingtang stretched out an index finger and gently traced his eyebrows. The soft touch was like a feather brushing against the tip of his heart, making him feel itchy and expectant.
"Xu Lin, do you have a wife? Are you engaged?"
Xu Lin's mind was in a mess, and he answered subconsciously, "No..."
"Would you mind having one then?"
Xu Lin's breathing became a little tight. He grabbed the hand that was moving around on his face and said, "Princess... can you get up first?"
Not only did Ye Qingtang not get up, but he rubbed upwards and put his other hand under his neck to bring the two of them closer.
"I won't! If you don't agree to my request, I won't get up! It would be even better if someone saw me, then you would have to marry me!"
Xu Lin secretly cursed, exerted force on his waist, held her and turned over, and their positions were immediately changed.
It was his turn to look down at the people below him.
Her breathing was slightly disordered, and she became a little flustered because of his actions.
Ye Qingtang's hands were held down, unable to move. She struggled for a while, but failed to break free. Instead, she laughed, "Xulin, you like me, right?"
Xu Lin no longer had the awkwardness he had during the day. His rather dull eyes were now full of aggression. "What do you think, Princess?"
"I think so! You didn't dare to look me in the eye during the day... but now... I like your forbearing and restrained look even more..."
Seeing that he couldn't scare her, Xu Lin had no choice but to let her go and get up from her. He even helped her up considerately. But as soon as Ye Qingtang stood up, she hugged his waist tightly, "I don't care. You hugged me and touched my body, so you have to take responsibility! If you don't agree, I will lock you up by my side even if I have to use an iron chain!"
Xulin's mood was complicated.
"Qingtang..." He called her name with a trembling voice.
"Hmm? You sound so good when you call my name. Call it a few more times. I like to hear it..."
Xu Lin's hands subconsciously hugged her waist, "Princess, we have only known each other for less than a day, and you are trusting your heart to me like this. Aren't you afraid that you are putting your heart into the wrong person?"
