Chapter 275: 275 Got bolder, haven’t you? (Second update)

Yaduo couldn’t fail to discern the deeper meaning in Yelu Yan’s words, could she?

Ever since moments ago, Yelu Yan had been restless as if there were nails on his chair, his anxious demeanor lively and vivid.

He had always seemed mature and composed beyond his years since he was young, not at all like a child should, making Yaduo feel both heartache and worry for him, but now, at last, he was showing some liveliness.

Yaduo was just a mischievous old child at heart, and seeing her grandson’s anxious behavior, she couldn’t resist the urge to tease him a bit.

"Grandmother is not tired, Ayan, and you’re burdened with busy official duties, it’s very exhausting. You better rest early. Xianxian and I have a lot to talk about. She has to take my pulse and do acupuncture for me, and I haven’t even looked at the gifts she brought. There are still so many things to do, we won’t finish anytime soon. You go and rest first. Xianxian will stay with me tonight," Yaduo suggested cheerily.

Yaduo delighted in seeing how Yelu Yan’s expressions changed one after another, growing ever more enthusiastic as she spoke.

Her last words made Yelu Yan completely restless, "Grandmother, please have some pity on your grandson."

Yaduo laughed heartily. How could she not dote on her own grandson?

Back to the matter at hand.

Yaduo looked at Li Xianyun and smiled, "My dear, Ayan makes a fair point. You’ve been working hard all day. Rest early, and tomorrow we, grandmother and granddaughter, can talk more."

"But your daughter-in-law still hasn’t..."

Taken your pulse and done the acupuncture?

Yelu Yan didn’t wait for Li Xianyun to finish speaking and took her hand, pulling her up, "Grandmother is tired, let’s talk about the pulse-taking and gifts tomorrow."

He led Li Xianyun away by her delicate little hand, "Grandmother, you should also retire early for the night."

Seeing Yelu Yan’s hurry, Yaduo decided to make him even happier.

"Ayan, tomorrow grandmother plans to move out of the Khan Palace and back to Cirui Hall," Yaduo announced.

Yelu Yan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Yaduo and smiled, "Good, tomorrow I’ll have Bater arrange everything."

Just as Li Xianyun was about to say something, Yelu Yan was already whisking her away.

The moment they left the side hall, Yelu Yan swept Li Xianyun up in his arms.

Li Xianyun couldn’t help but let out a light cry.

Yelu Yan carried her quickly toward the main hall while looking down at her, "Getting braver, aren’t we?"

"Not at all," she denied.

With his long strides, Yelu Yan quickly reached the main hall and proceeded toward the inner chamber.

Seeing Zhuo Ma and Youlan trailing from a distance, Li Xianyun said softly to Yelu Yan, "Husband, I need to bathe."

"Bathe in the inner chamber, I’ve already had hot water prepared," he replied.

"When did you..."

Li Xianyun suddenly stopped mid-sentence. During her chat with Yaduo, Yelu Yan indeed had given some instructions to Zhuo Ma. Just now, Yelu Yan had insisted they retire early, which came right after Zhuo Ma had whispered something to him.

If she were to guess, it likely concerned the arrangement of the hot water.

At this thought, Li Xianyun’s fair little face turned crimson in an instant. His actions indirectly told everyone what they were about to do next, didn’t they?

Though everyone understood what a couple reunites after a separation would do, Li Xianyun still felt rather embarrassed.

After Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun entered the inner chamber, Zhuo Ma and Youlan hurriedly approached and tightly closed the door from the outside. Then, they gestured to the maids, and the whole group retreated far away, fearing they would hear something they shouldn’t.

As soon as they entered the inner chamber, the beast revealed its fangs.

Yelu Yan put down Li Xianyun, wrapped around her slender waist, and began to kiss her fervently with roaming hands.

Li Xianyun moaned softly, her long eyelashes fluttering helplessly.

There was a huge disparity between the strength of a man and a woman.

Li Xianyun could only be passive and endure. Sometimes when she was out of breath from his kisses, Yelu Yan would relent slightly, tenderly nibbling on her lips as if savoring candy, fearful it would disappear all at once, savoring it bit by bit.

...

After who knows how long, Yelu Yan pinned her against the wall, bent over to be at eye-level with her, and looked into her eyes, which were flickering unpredictably.

Her little face was unusually flushed, her lips moist and shiny, breathing heavily.

Yelu Yan gently wiped the water at the corner of her mouth with his hand.

"Feeling bold, are we?"

Li Xianyun’s small hands wrapped around his thick neck; when Yelu Yan had kissed her just now, she had naturally encircled her delicate arms around him, realizing that the body too has memories and habits.

With a shy and timid glance, she looked back at the exceedingly handsome man before her.

Li Xianyun was like a child being chastised, both well-behaved and adorable.

"Me? How could I?"

"Not at all?" said Yelu Yan, his smile playful, "Then who was it that just absolutely refused to come back?"

Li Xianyun softly bit her lip with her pearly white teeth, "I haven’t seen Grandmother in a long time, and we had a lot to catch up on."

"Is that so? Your husband hasn’t seen you in quite a while either, but I didn’t see you with much to tell me?"

Li Xianyun was amused and exasperated by his sophistry and distortion of facts.

On the way back to Khan Palace, they had talked and kissed all along the way. And now he said she hadn’t talked much with him?

Yelu Yan’s eyes twinkled with mirth, "Why do you laugh? Do you think your Khan is being unreasonable and twisting the truth?"

Whenever Li Xianyun had a floating thought, Yelu Yan would detect it immediately and even know what she was thinking. Marrying such an astute man, she couldn’t get away with any mischief.

Li Xianyun smiled with pursed lips. "My Lord, you are quite self-aware."

Yelu Yan looked at her with an amused expression.

Li Xianyun felt uneasy under his gaze, and, pushing away his handsome face, she spoke with a tender voice, "What are you doing?"

Yelu Yan leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Your husband is considering how to devour you, how many times?"

At his words, Li Xianyun’s breathing became rapid. This "Flirtatious Man".

Suddenly, Yelu Yan hoisted her onto his shoulder and headed for the bed.

Li Xianyun felt a momentary weightlessness, "My Lord, put me down."

"No rush, I’ll put you down when we get there."

As he said this, Yelu Yan strode across the beaded curtains and drapes and came to the front of the bed.

Only then did he set Li Xianyun down.

Li Xianyun noticed that, just like in Tianshui County, there were several screens placed in front of the bed, with a bath tub behind them, emitting a humid, white vapor.

Yelu Yan stood opposite her, "Knowing you won’t let me touch you without a bath, I specially prepared hot water for you."

The underlying meaning was, there would be no excuse not to let him touch her after she bathed.

Li Xianyun blushed and hummed in acknowledgment, "My Lord, why don’t you take a bath too?"

"All right." As Yelu Yan said this, he began to undress in front of Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun watched him, dumbfounded – her face turning crimson all the way down to her neck, "My Lord, you’re not thinking of..."

She gestured from Yelu Yan to herself, then toward the direction of the bath tub, unable to finish her thought.

Yelu Yan laughed at her, his hands still busy, "A ’mandarin duck bath,’ is that so hard to say? Besides, you and I have long since..."

Li Xianyun knew he was about to bring up things that were true but shouldn’t be so openly discussed, so she quickly interrupted, "My Lord, I just remembered something I left in the carriage, I’ll go get it."

She started to walk out, but before she could take a step, her slender and fair wrist was caught.

With a pull, the man brought her into his embrace.

Li Xianyun’s small face thus rested against his sturdy chest, hard as a rock.

To say she rested her face there was a euphemism for a kiss.

Yelu Yan moved quickly and was already undressed to the waist, Li Xianyun finding herself kissing his firm chest.

The broad muscles on his body were an unmistakable display of male wildness and masculinity.
