Seeing them gradually falling asleep, her music did not stop immediately, but continued to play for a while. Seeing that they had completely fallen asleep, she finally stopped playing the soul-stirring music.
Her slender jade fingers gently pressed the strings, and then, a strange smile appeared on her bright red lips, and she quietly stood up and walked towards them who were sleeping...
While he was pretending to sleep, Ao Chen was attentive and calm at night, with a very calm sleeping face.
However, secretly, he was paying attention to her every move. Without opening his eyes, he could hear her every move just from the air flow caused by her walking over.
Her footsteps were very light, and she was obviously walking with energy. Judging from the lightness of her footsteps, her magic power was quite good.
However, what she faced was Ao Chenye. Looking at the world, there were only a handful of people who could truly defeat him...
Therefore, her little tricks had no impact on him at all. The reason why she pretended to be hypnotized was just to avoid alerting the enemy so early.
As she got closer, the rich fragrance of peonies lingered in his breath.
This peony fragrance...
His heart suddenly lifted.
When he left Mo Palace last night, he smelled the same fragrance. Could it be that this famous Peony Courtesan was also from Xing Mo?!
If this is really the case, then when he attacked Mo Palace last night, there were a lot of follow-up inside stories...
While he was thinking, he heard Peony's footsteps approaching him.
Putting the twelve points of alert on, he quietly waited for her next move.
Mudan, who had no idea that she had been discovered by Ao Chenye, now thought that she had everything under control.
Looking at their sleeping faces on the soft couch, after thinking for a moment, she leaned forward slightly, reached out and gently moved Ke'er's body, letting her turn away from Ao Chenye's arms and move to the side.
Feeling her touching Ke'er, Ao Chenye's breathing became turbulent. Soon, he felt that she had no other intentions for Ke'er, so he forced himself to calm down and continued to wait and see.
after……
There was no other movement in Mudan, she just stood there, her eyes focused on Ao Chenye's sleeping face. Some kind of emotion deep in her heart was aroused, and her eyes gradually became blurred, as if she was remembering something.
.
For a long time, she kept looking at him in silence, but the focus of her eyes became increasingly blurry.
Narrowing her beautiful eyes in a daze, she murmured dreamily: "That day, he was sleeping in front of me just like you. He was also so beautiful... but his face was full of sadness. I know that his
The sadness is not because of me..."
Falling into memories, she felt filled with a feeling of loss.
Ao Chen heard her talking to herself at night, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
It seems that she fell in love with a man who loves someone else. Who is that man?
That man looks like him? That’s why she looks at him and reminds her of her sweetheart?
He was really curious as to which man he was with such a handsome and extraordinary appearance...
At this moment, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming over him.
Then, he felt a cold light flashing in front of his closed eyes.
dagger!
It seems that she is going to kill him. Does she know his identity?
Even though the dagger was about to fall on his eyelids, he did not open his eyes immediately, but calmed down even more. He wanted to see if this Peony was testing him or did he already know his identity?
Secretly concentrating on his luck, he maintained his composure while being ready to counterattack at any time.
Mudan held the dagger tightly, and the sharp tip fell on his eyelid, intending to stab it...
However, the tip of her knife touched his eyelids, but he did not move at all.
Seeing that he had no idea that his life was at stake, she stopped dropping the dagger.
Her expression relaxed, she slowly put away the dagger, took a long breath, and murmured softly: "It seems I'm being paranoid."
Then, she turned Ke'er back and let her lie back in Ao Chenye's arms.
After carefully confirming that everything had been restored to its original state and no traces were left, Mudan tiptoed back to her seat where she was playing the piano.
The fingertips elegantly plucked the strings, and the melodious tune sounded again...
Ao Chen also relaxed while pretending to sleep at night. He didn't expect that she would act so cautiously. No man who came into her boudoir would be able to escape the soul-inducing music that he wanted to taste.
It's a pity that if such a meticulous person is not used by him, he is destined to... be punished according to crime!
Fortunately, she didn't have any suspicion just now.
Feeling the soft and delicate body of the person in his arms, he felt a warmth in his chest.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to hold her tightly so that he could reunite her long-cherished wish.
Even if he couldn't hold her, he could at least let her stay in his arms for a little longer.
However, it was almost time for him to wake up.
Because this time Peony played the soul-awakening song.
The person in his arms seemed to be waking up, and he could feel her moving slightly.
Haha, I wonder what her expression will be like when she opens her eyes and sees herself sleeping in his arms?
As a "man" sleeping on a man's body, she must be petrified.
Sure enough, when Ke'er opened her eyes in a daze and raised her head anxiously, she saw Ao Chenye's sleeping handsome face. She screamed in fright: "Ah!"
She screamed and jumped up from his arms, her almond-shaped eyes widened with panic.
Ao Chenye, on the other hand, pretended to be awakened by her screams and suddenly opened his eyes to meet her panicked eyes.
He pretended to be confused and rubbed his eyes, stretched, and said energetically and calmly: "What is your name?"
Seeing that he didn't feel anything was wrong at all, Ke'er pointed at him with trembling fingers: "You, you, you... me, me, me..."
She stammered and was speechless.
"What do you mean and what do I mean? Young master Ke'er, will you stutter as soon as you wake up?" Ao Chenye teased her with an evil smile.
"You're the one who stutters!" This time, Ke'er retorted smoothly as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ao Chenye shrugged his shoulders, straightened his clothes casually, raised his eyes and looked at Peony playing the piano, smiling with his thin lips.
"Miss Peony's piano music is really fascinating and soothing. I fall asleep soundly without realizing it. Not bad, not bad!" He looked like a man who was very accustomed to sleeping soundly in the beauty's piano music. Apparently he often did so.
It's like doing this.
The sound of the piano gradually stopped, and Peony smiled gently, stood up, and walked over.
"Young Master is so complimentary. This servant is just a little talented and has made a fool of himself in front of Young Master."
She walked to the tea table, poured two cups of tea, and brought them over gently and considerately, giving each of them a cup.
Taking the hot tea from Peony's hand, Ke'er quickly said thank you politely.
Mudan just smiled and passed by lightly, and then focused her attention on Ao Chenye.
Ao Chenye lazily took a sip of tea, put the cup aside casually, shook his head with a smile that never faded, and said: "Miss Peony is so humble, your piano music is the best I have ever heard, but little Ke'er
Master, what do you think?"
"Ah?? Ke'er, who was drinking tea, didn't expect that he would suddenly bring the topic to her. She swallowed a sip of tea and almost choked.
She swallowed hard, barely managing not to choke.
Looking at Mudan's eyes expecting praise, she quickly said in a kind and sincere manner: "Okay! The conversation was great, it sounded very comfortable. I really have to thank Mudan for her piano music, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep so comfortably."
Hearing her compliment, Mudan covered her mouth and smiled: "Giggle...you have such a mouth that you can coax people."
What’s more! The madam doesn’t care, she’s just a snobbery and exploiting the labor force!
Ke'er hummed in her heart, but didn't dare to express it.
Ao Chenye squinted his eyes, tapped his eyebrows with his slender fingers, and looked at Ke'er with his eyes as if he had a purpose.
"Well... I also think Young Master Ke'er's words are very pleasing. It would be great if he worked under me. Beauty Peony, tell me... if I want to buy Young Master Ke'er, how much money will I have to spend, Madam?
Are you willing to let him go?"
He playfully played with his fingers, as if he were counting coins.
However, before Mudan could answer anything, Ke'er snorted angrily: "I'm sorry, I'm just here to work, I didn't sell myself to anyone!"
***! She, Bai Keer, is a civilized person from the 21st century. How can she be bought and sold like a slave here? It is simply humiliating!
"Oh? You didn't sell yourself?" Ao Chenye frowned in distress.
Then, as if he didn't believe her words, he asked: "Beauty Peony, she really didn't sell herself?"
"This...I don't know very well whether the servants in Xianyun Tower are selling themselves, but..."
Mudan turned to look at Ke'er, her eyes mixed with persuasion and said: "Ke'er, it would actually be a good thing if you could leave with the young master. Xianyun Tower is not suitable for a scholar like you."
Ke'er gave Ao Chenye a stern glance, then turned away decisively: "No way, I won't follow him!"
Listening to her disgusting tone and looking at her decisive profile, Ao Chenye felt a pain in his heart.
Does she really want to stay away from him now?
Although he just wanted to tease her and knew that she would refuse, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he heard her decisive words with his own ears.
Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Mudan quickly cleared the air and said, "Ke'er, go out and bring in some food."
go out?
How can that work? What if Mudan suddenly attacks Ao Chenye who doesn't know anything while she's away?
Almost immediately, Kerr instinctively blurted out a refusal: "No, I think he's not hungry yet."
As she spoke so quickly, she completely forgot who she was at the moment, and even more so, she forgot that she was not familiar with Ao Chenye at all.
