Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Shamelessness Comes Later

Leng Yu Yan gritted her teeth, "Ye Yiheng, are you sick?!"

"I am indeed sick, and quite seriously too." Ye Yiheng raised his hand to his forehead, muttering softly, "I’m not sure if my cold disease is about to flare up. I feel very dizzy."

As he spoke, his tall figure swayed slightly.

Leng Yu Yan pressed against his pulse without distinguishing the pulse pattern before he seized her wrist in return.

"Stay with me and rest for a while."

His voice was clear and crisp, tinged with a hint of pitifulness.

Leng Yu Yan’s red lips tightened slightly, pondering momentarily before saying, "The capital city is not as cold as Beilan City, but since last night, it has started to snow. It’s still best to keep warm."

"Of course."

A sly gleam flickered through Ye Yiheng’s narrow phoenix eyes as he exerted a slight force on his grip around her pale wrist, leading her away from the guest residence.

Stepping out of the guest residence, Leng Yu Yan finally realized — within the Prince Zhenbei Mansion in the capital, there was only this one courtyard which currently housed Ye Jiu. So where did this man by her side reside?

Seeing him escorting her towards her own courtyard, Leng Yu Yan finally asked, "Where do you stay in the Prince Mansion?"

"I’ll stay at your courtyard."

"You did not sleep at all last night, where did you bathe?" she further inquired.

Ye Yiheng candidly replied, "By the time I returned, it was almost dawn. I used the guest quarters in your elder brother’s courtyard."

At that time, both he and Li Yuyue needed to bathe, so it was convenient to do so in Li Yuyue’s courtyard; this way, the servants could easily heat and carry the water.

"Then I shall now take you to the guest quarters in my elder brother’s courtyard."

"Don’t do that," he replied with a cultured tone. "How could two grown men share the same courtyard? I’ll rest in yours for a bit and will return to the Eastern Palace tomorrow."

Hearing him say this, Leng Yu Yan nodded in agreement.

In the guest quarters at this moment.

Li Yuyue: "The traitors in the palace have been purged, and the spies within Xingning Palace have been dealt with. You should pack up now, and I’ll arrange for someone to escort you back to the palace."

"I don’t want to, I won’t go back!"

Ye Jiu gave a subtle signal to the palace maid inside the room, who understandingly left, closing the door behind her.

Li Yuyue frowned, "It was only because of last night’s purge that you stayed at the Prince Mansion. Now that Xingning Palace is safe, why won’t you return?"

Ye Jiu answered with a bright smile, "Would you believe me if I said it’s because of you that I don’t want to go back?"

"Nonsense. Whether you want to or not, you’re going back today." Li Yuyue turned to leave.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Jiu gripped the armrests of her wheelchair forcefully, and with a bang, she toppled onto the floor.

Li Yuyue turned around and saw her on the ground, his handsome brows furrowing even more, "How could you have fallen from the wheelchair while seated properly?"

Ye Jiu blinked desperately, squeezing out two tears, "I wanted to stand up, to pull you."

Unable to bear seeing a woman cry, Li Yuyue’s face darkened as he picked her up from the ground and was about to place her on the bed when Ye Jiu’s hand around his neck tightened suddenly.

"The Princely Heir clearly has me in his heart, so why pretend?"

"Do all Ye Family members have such thick skin?"

Li Yuyue bent over, his body stiff, allowing Ye Jiu to cling onto his neck.

"Say what you will," Ye Jiu’s hand tightened further, pressing her body against his, "Princely Heir, I like you. Do you like me?"

Li Yuyue’s thin lips were pressed into a line, silent.

Ye Jiu laughed, leaned in, and kissed his cheek with a crisp sound.

Annoyed, Li Yuyue grabbed her wrist and pushed her onto the bed.

Ye Jiu fell back onto the bed with a giggle, "The Princely Heir and Ah Yan are indeed siblings, your skins are equally thin. But, I like it!"

"If you won’t pack up, it’s no problem. I’ll find someone to pack for you."

As he spoke, he stretched his long legs and headed for the door.

"The Princely Heir is so heartless, I live here and still hope Ah Yan will help me with my leg, why rush me away so quickly?"

Upon hearing about treating his leg, Li Yuyue’s steps hesitated slightly, and from his thin lips, he lightly uttered two words: "Suit yourself."

Ye Jiu covered her mouth with a smile, she wouldn’t leave. If she stayed longer, sooner or later Prince Zhenbei Mansion would become her home.

On the other side, Leng Yu Yan brought Ye Yiheng back to her own room.

Miao Zhu saw them return and was about to ask what they needed attending to. She had just opened her mouth, without uttering a single word, when she saw the Crown Prince pulling her Commandery Princess’s door shut.

No way, what are the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess doing in broad daylight?

Although they were already engaged, and the imperial decree of marriage had arrived that morning, still, their entering the room together seemed somewhat problematic.

Thinking thus, Miao Zhu stealthily peeked through the door crack.

What she saw was shocking; her Commandery Princess was personally helping the Crown Prince undress.

"Mind one’s own business, mind one’s own business!"

As a maid, she couldn’t make decisions for her Master.

With no other choice, Miao Zhu could only move a stool over and sat by the door, in order to prevent any careless maids from disturbing the two Masters inside.

Inside the room, Ye Yiheng had removed all his outer clothes, leaving only his inner clothes and trousers.

Leng Yu Yan lifted the quilt: "Your Highness, go to sleep."

Ye Yiheng held her hand, while his other hand started to fiddle with the buttons of her clothing.

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed in astonishment.

"Helping you get comfortable," he replied, his voice eerily calm, "It’s too cold, warm me up."

Leng Yu Yan pressed down on his hand: "Ye Yiheng, I’m giving you the honor of sleeping in my bed, don’t take too much advantage."

"The imperial decree for our marriage has been sent. Once your parents arrive, we’ll officially be married," Ye Yiheng looked into her eyes, "Between you and me, now the only thing lacking is the wedding ceremony."

"What do you mean by only missing the wedding ceremony?"

"Hold and kiss we have, embrace we did; we’ve even shared sleep—what’s lacking?" he chuckled softly, answering his own question, "Oh, the consummation. You know I suffer from a hidden ailment, so between us, is it merely the wedding ceremony that’s left?"

Leng Yu Yan covered his lips: "How have you become so brazen?"

He licked the center of her hand, causing a tingling tickle, and in her embarrassment, she instantly withdrew her hand.

Ye Yiheng smiled contentedly, "Alright, sleep with me for a while."

Since he couldn’t actually do much, plus he claimed the symptoms of his cold disease were acting up, Leng Yu Yan reluctantly nodded and let him pull her onto the bed.

Once both were under the quilt, Leng Yu Yan pressed down on his pulse to check it, and then she burst out in anger, "Your cold disease hasn’t flared up!"

The corner of Ye Yiheng’s lips curled slightly as he pulled her soft body into his embrace, speaking candidly, "If I hadn’t said that, how would you have been willing to sleep with me?"

"Ye Yiheng, you’re shameless!"

"The shameless part is yet to come, want to try it?"

She shook her head: "No!"

Ye Yiheng watched her with a smile, his deep eyes seemingly ready to suck her in, and Leng Yu Yan’s heartbeat unconsciously accelerated. In a panic, she covered her face with the quilt.

He reached to pull the quilt from her face: "Yanyan, I want to kiss you."

"I don’t want to," her muffled, bashful voice came from underneath the quilt.

"It’s been a long time since our engagement day, till today."

Being a man, he had endured for quite some time on this matter.

If possible, he really wished to devour her completely.

Leng Yu Yan clenched the quilt in her hand, but the man’s strength proved much greater than she imagined. She had no idea how he did it, but the quilt was easily stripped away by him.

As she was caught off guard, his arm tensed, and he pinned her beneath him...
