After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

At midnight, Song Qi Yan returned to the Northern Palace.

For fear of waking Jiang Wanyu up, he just took plain clothes from the study and went to the bathroom.

-

In the bathroom, Jiang Wanyu lay in the bathtub, supporting her aching head.

She didn't know how long she slept, but she was woken up by Feng Niang in a daze and entered the bathroom.

Gently raise the water and wipe the body.

It's strange that even though she was covered in mud today, there was no sign of it on her body.

Could it be that Feng Niang wiped it for me?

I didn't think too much about it, but just thought about taking a shower and going to sleep before Song Qi Yan came back, so as to avoid the embarrassment of seeing him.

God knows what I did when I was drunk today.

I guess she couldn't hold her alcohol well. She drank with her roommate once before and went crazy and almost climbed onto the confession wall. She drank even more today and probably said all the words she wanted to curse Song Qiyan in one go.

Jiang Wanyu was embarrassed and hurried to take a shower.

But while he was washing, the wind blew outside the door and the damp wax went out.

In an instant, everything went dark and the only sound in the room was the dripping water.

No way, so unlucky!

Helplessly, Jiang Wanyu had to put on a bath towel and go look for a fire starter.

On this side, looking at the pitch-black bathhouse, Song Qiyan, who had no idea that Jiang Wanyu was inside at the moment, just walked in with the herbs in his hand.

Perhaps it was too late and Feng Niang forgot to light the fire.

Without thinking much, he walked towards the fire starter, but suddenly a figure holding a ladle came and tried to hit him.

"Who?!"

Song Qi Yan alertly dodged and opened the fire, only then could he see the man's face clearly.

"Jiang Wanyu!"

"Song Qiyan!"

The two looked at each other in panic.

Jiang Wanyu was so surprised that she slipped and almost fell, but fortunately Song Qiyan held her slender waist.

With this movement, the strip of cloth hanging on Jiang Wanyu's body slid down, and Song Qi Yan followed the light and caught a glimpse of the two halves of white snowflakes from her fair skin.

His ears turned red instantly and he turned his head away, not daring to look down.

"Why are you here!"

Jiang Wanyu covered her chest and quickly pushed Song Qiyan away.

"I was going to ask you something. How would I know you were here when you didn't even turn on the light while taking a shower?"

"It's been raining these past few days, and the candles in the house have become damp, but you didn't ask someone to replace them. Now they're extinguished within seconds of me entering the water."

Jiang Wanyu pouted, feeling aggrieved.

"Then shall I go out?"

Song Qi Yan pointed outside the door, feeling awkward. He just realized today that he had done such a thing secretly, and now he saw Jiang Wanyu again.

As soon as he saw Jiang Wanyu's lips, he felt guilty.

Just as I was about to leave quickly, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Jiang, are you okay? Why do I hear someone in the room?"

Feng Niang was knocking on the door outside, and she felt as if she heard a man's voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu quickly grabbed Song Qiyan and silenced him.

"No one, no one, I fell accidentally."

"Oh, oh, then you should be careful. The prince should be back soon. If the prince knows that you are in trouble, he will definitely blame me again."

"Haha, it's nothing."

Jiang Wanyu just laughed when she saw Song Qiyan's puzzled look.

"Then I will be guarding you outside the door. It's been windy these days and the room is damp. The candle will go out easily. I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

"Ah? No, no, the candle is out, I can light it myself."

Jiang Wanyu smiled awkwardly, feeling extremely flustered. She wanted to chase Feng Niang away as soon as possible. After all, she was not the only one in the room. If the news got out, would her reputation be safe?

But Feng Niang had no intention of leaving at all.

"No, no, the prince said that he must take good care of you and cannot leave you for a moment, for fear that you might have an accident in the middle of the night, so please don't embarrass me, young lady."

"Ok."

I'm almost eighteen years old, how could any accident happen!

Jiang Wanyu rolled her eyes at the resentful man in front of her and had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Jiang Wanyu didn't say anything, Song Qiyan let go of Jiang Wanyu's hand with a puzzled look on his face, "If you don't want Feng Niang to stay with you, I'll let her go. What are you doing?"

Having said that, Song Qiyan was about to walk out the door, but was pulled down by Jiang Wanyu halfway.

"My ancestor, please don't go out now. I haven't finished my bath yet. If you go out now, what will Feng Niang think? What will the people in the Northern Prince's Mansion think? If it gets out, I will be criticized to death by my elder and second brothers. Please don't go out."

"Oh."

Looking at Jiang Wanyu's anxious expression, Song Qiyan was very puzzled.

Even if Feng Niang saw her outside, so what? She would enter the Northern Prince's Mansion sooner or later anyway. If it was inappropriate now, he would just shut everyone up. Why would he need to go through so much trouble?

However, since she wanted to keep him, he didn't want to leave. He just watched what she was going to do with a smile on his face.

"It's all your fault. Who told you to care about me so much and even have someone watch over me?"

Jiang Wanyu was sulking and turned on the lights in the bathhouse, and instantly the whole bathhouse became bright.

"Why are you blaming me again?"

Song Qiyan took off his coat while wondering what he had done wrong again, which scared Jiang Wanyu so much that her facial features turned pale.

"You...what are you doing?!"

"What can you do in the bathroom? Take a bath, of course."

Song Qiyan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sly smile on his lips, and teased, "Didn't Miss Jiang want to keep me?"

"Who said that if I keep you, I will take a bath with you? You...you are shameless!"

As she spoke, Jiang Wanyu hugged herself tightly and quickly moved three feet away from this shameless man.

"What I mean is, I'll wash first, and when I'm done and out, you can wash later."

"No. It's so late, how long will it take for me to wash after you finish?"

Song Qi Yan ignored Jiang Wanyu and just took off his shirt. He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days and wanted to go to bed early. He didn't have time to serve the eldest lady.

"You...you have no shame!"

"If you yell again, Madam Feng will know I'm in there."

"I……"

Jiang Wanyu was speechless. She was so unlucky that she met such a hateful person just when taking a bath.

"Then what do you want?"

"What's wrong?"

Song Qiyan chuckled slyly, "Of course we wash together."

“Let’s take a shower together!!”

Jiang Wanyu almost screamed, causing Feng Niang outside the door to ask fearfully, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, the water was a little hot, I didn't pay attention, I got burned, that's all."

"Oh, be careful, miss."

Feng Niang thought to herself, she had tried the water temperature herself, and it didn't seem very hot. Could it be that the young lady was weak and had a cold?

That won’t do. I have to buy some food for the young lady. After all, this is something that will concern the young master in the future.
