Before they knew it, it was already daybreak, and the two of them were still hugging each other tightly on the bed.

The pretty girl in his arms turned over lazily, and the arms around her loosened as she turned over, but as she changed her posture, the arms tightened again.

It was as if he didn't want to leave any gap between them, and didn't want to give her a chance to escape from his arms.

"Yan Qing..."

She called out in a daze from her neck, and her curled fingers unconsciously tightened his clothes.

"What's wrong?" The hand knocking on the back of her head locked her tighter.

"Um...you're here." She muttered.

"Yes, I'm here."

After waking up, she seemed happy to have him by her side.

He stroked her scattered hair, and every time he hugged her when she woke up, he felt an unrealistic happiness, as if this did not belong to him, but was just a beautiful dream, a beautiful dream that would wake him up.

"It feels so good..." She murmured after a long while.

"Well? What's so good?"

"Well... it's great to have you here."

These words seemed to have an invisible power, warming his heart little by little.

She said she wanted to stay with him.

"Yuer, you are mine." He held her in his arms, swearing his ownership of her, with strong and uncontrollable emotions surging in his blood.

"Hmm..." She in my arms finally protested in this tight hug.

She rubbed her eyes and said, "Yan Qing, what time is it?"

"It's noon already."

"Hmm... I'm so hungry."

"Shall we get up then?"

"kindness…"

He didn't even realize how gentle he was being with her, but she still lingered on him in bed for a long time before she managed to get up.

After everything was cleaned up, the maid brought the delicious dishes.

Nowadays, they always have meals together as a group of three, perhaps because they would have a better appetite when dining with her.

"Brother, where did you go this morning? I see no one in your room."

As soon as Xiao Wenshu finished speaking, his hand holding the chopsticks paused.

After a brief hesitation, he gave a concise answer, "Out."

"But I saw Qianyun didn't follow us." Xiao Wenshu continued to ask in confusion.

"Well, I didn't let him follow."

"Eat quickly." He changed the subject abruptly to prevent Xiao Wenshu from asking further questions.

She had naturally heard his lie, and must have been entangled by her and would not let him get up.

"Qingyu, what do you want to do today?" Xiao Wenshu asked.

"Well...I think..."

As she was thinking, Xiao Wenshu suggested, "How about I take you for a walk?"

But before she could say "OK", Xiao Yanqing stopped her.

"No."

"She has to be with me today." His tone was a little harsh and did not allow for rejection.

"Brother, don't be so strict with Qingyu. Qingyu is still a young lady." Xiao Wenshu felt very distressed. She had finally escaped from danger and should relax.

"It's okay Wenshu, we'll play together later."

"it is good."

After lunch, I came to the study and saw the place added next to his desk at a glance.

"Yanqing, what are we going to do today?" she asked curiously.

"Don't do anything, just stay with me."

He held her hand and sat down, and when he looked up he noticed her confused look.

She wondered, what he meant was accompanying him in handling government affairs?

"Don't you want to? Yu'er promised to stay with you all the time."

Although his tone of voice and expression remained unchanged, she could still read a hint of grievance and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be unwilling?" She curved her eyebrows and smiled, then sat aside obediently.

He had thoughtfully prepared books, pens, tea and snacks for her.

She stayed obediently aside without making any noise, and he only occasionally heard the sound of her picking up the pen to write. He felt really good to have her company, but when he thought of her also accompanying the emperor like this, he suddenly felt unhappy.

She lazily wrote down her feelings about analyzing the contents of the book on a piece of paper, and subconsciously noticed his concentration.

She didn't know if it was because of the closer distance now, but the look on her face when she stared at him was less concealed. She liked looking at his various states, and she also liked the exchange of glances with him.

Appreciating every look of his, the passion hidden in his coldness, the calmness and elegance flowing from his deep brows, was an irresistible tenderness to her.

Although they have invisibly shortened the distance between them, she still feels that it is not enough. She knows that she is too greedy, but it is not enough, never enough.

"Yu'er."

He called out softly, his voice barely concealing its strain, awakening the thoughts that lingered on him.

"Looking at me like that... I can't concentrate."

Her burning gaze was like countless stars gathered on him, looking straight into her heart, as if her every move was seen without any cover.

He couldn't ignore her, and he didn't even dare to look back. He was afraid that just one glance would magnify his desire infinitely, and he would want to possess her...

She was caught but she lowered her head without caring.

Seeing that she was obedient, he dared to look at her, but he suddenly remembered something.

The next moment, the fingers had lifted her chin, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her pupils were constricted.

"Yu'er, when you were with him, did you ever look at him like this?"

She blinked, "Yan Qing is referring to Zhou..."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly became deep, and she immediately shut her mouth.

He pursed his lips, seeming to have gotten the answer from her eyes.

"But...it's obviously different." She muttered softly.

He loosened his hand, dissatisfaction written on his face, "You are not allowed to see him again!"

"Is Yan Qing angry?"

"Yes! I'm angry." He admitted frankly.

"why are you mad?"

"Why did you say?!"

The little woman asked even though she knew the answer.

"Haha, Yan Qing, I will be obedient." She supported her chin with her fingers and smiled softly, as if she understood why he was angry.

He noticed her black pupils that seemed to be integrated into the stars, and her extremely bewitching eyes, which seemed to be filled with thousands of emotional threads, pulling him into her body.

He always felt that both the expression in her eyes and the thoughts in her heart had a charm that was different from her age.

Yes, she did it on purpose, and her control over him never ceased.

"Hmph, don't let me catch you." He snorted coldly. If he caught her disobeying him, she would never be able to go out again.

"Okay." She agreed obediently.

He felt somewhat helpless. The more obedient she behaved, the more uneasy he felt. He wondered what evil ideas she was up to next.

After finishing the work, he reviewed what she had written on paper, which were either military strategy analyses or plans for events.

He was sure that she had no secrets about her abilities from him.

"What's wrong? Did I write it wrong?" Seeing his serious expression lingering on the words she wrote.

"Are these Yuer's opinions and analysis of the contents of the book?" There were also questions that she could not understand, and the way she asked them.

"Yeah." she responded.

She looked at him expectantly, as if hoping he could give her some advice and wanting to know what he meant.

"Yuer has her own views, but this plan is actually..." He explained to her carefully that the reality is different from what is written in the book.

It can be seen from what she wrote that she has her own understanding and can even raise core key issues in one sentence.

"I see." She nodded repeatedly and made additional changes to what she had written.

He looked at her focused expression, and after some hesitation, he decided to speak, "Can I ask Yu'er a question?"
