Clang-the pipa abruptly fell silent!
Zhao Ling had been teasing her male favorite, nearly forgetting where and when she was. Startled by the sudden noise, she swiftly withdrew her hand and closed her collar, turning toward the door, almost blurting out:
"Which blind fool dares interrupt this princess's pleasure-"
Xie Jinhuan quickly sat up straight as well. Hearing footsteps fleeing outside the door, he set down the pipa and flashed over to look out:
"Senior Ye?"
?!
In the passage, Ye Yunchi's fleeing footsteps abruptly stopped. Then, sword in hand, she turned around at a leisurely pace, like a female tutor who had merely happened to pass the door:
"You're in your room? I only just got up and was wandering-"
Though her expression appeared normal, a distinct blush colored her alluring cheeks, and her breathing was slightly unsteady, making her juicy milk melons rise and fall with a hint of nervousness.
Though A Piao had not warned Xie Jinhuan, one look told him that Senior Sister Milk Melons had been peeking. He saw through her without exposing her, merely explaining:
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess is visiting my room. Would you like to join us for a couple of drinks, Senior Ye?"
The Eldest Princess-
Realization dawned on Ye Yunchi, and she thought:
I knew it. How could Sect Leader Nangong behave so improperly? But even the Eldest Princess shouldn't do that before marriage-
Especially while using an elder's body. Xie Jinhuan doesn't even know to avoid impropriety. Could he fear the Eldest Princess's power and have been forced to submit-
If I go in, surely the Eldest Princess won't dare act so recklessly-
With that thought, Ye Yunchi walked toward the doorway as though moved by an unseen hand:
"Mm-well-"
Seeing this, Xie Jinhuan grew a little worried
