"Alright, the tea inside is almost gone. Go and get me some more. We'll talk about it when you get back."

Just then, Sang Huan handed over the teapot beside her.

Holding the heavy teapot in her arms, which was clearly still filled with water, Tao Hong was stunned.

But when she met Sang Huan's gentle, smiling eyes, she realized what was happening and wisely decided not to disturb her any further. She knelt down slightly to offer a greeting and then turned and left the room.

Before leaving, he also closed the door tightly.

Suddenly, only Sang Huan was left in the room.

Sang Huan put down the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the bun wrapped in oil paper on the table.

After a moment of silence, she rolled up her sleeves, took one, and bit it.

Something quietly slipped in through the window behind me, accompanied by that familiar, tantalizing scent that slowly wafted into my nose.

The girl's delicate eyebrows curved slightly for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, as if she was completely unaware of the figure approaching from behind.

"girl."

A clear, low, and husky voice suddenly rang out without warning, startling the girl who was still munching on a steamed bun, causing her shoulders to tremble slightly.

She stood up in a panic and fear, the bun she was holding in her slender white fingers tightened slightly, and rolled to the ground.

"who!"

He met the girl's wary and flustered gaze.

Realizing that she had frightened her, Yan Xi quickly stopped and took off her veil to soothe her gently.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, the one we met during the day."

Upon seeing his face, the girl, who had been tense just moments before, suddenly relaxed, a hint of surprise in her bright, clear eyes.

"You are... Prince Jing'an? How did you come to my daughter's room, Prince...?"

She seemed a little flustered, but after realizing who the person in front of her was, she tried to squat down and bow to him.

Before she could even move, Yan Xi stepped forward and gently grasped her arm with his warm, large hand.

There's no need for formalities between us.

"Your Highness, please don't..."

As if she felt his behavior was too impolite, Sang Huan quickly looked up, her delicate face showing panic, and tried to struggle to push his hand away in order to keep her distance.

However, because she moved too quickly and didn't notice the commotion under her feet, she swayed and fell down.

Yan Xi moved swiftly, reaching out to embrace the girl's slender waist and pulling her into her arms.

The sudden closeness, the delicate softness brushing against his arm, sent a jolt through Yan Xi as if he'd been electrocuted.

But the person in his arms seemed oblivious, grabbing his clothes to steady herself, and then instinctively rubbed her face against his hard chest.

A rich fragrance wafted over, like an addictive aphrodisiac, causing Sang Huan, who had been waiting for luck in this world, to squint her eyes.

It smells so good, I want to eat it...

"Miss Sang, are you alright?"

Upon realizing what that softness was, the usually composed and unchanging prince's ears quietly flushed red.

Especially the girl in my arms, she, she, she, she was so bold as to rub against me!

Yan Xi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and her body stiffened like a statue. Worried that her abnormality would be noticed, she quickly reminded him in a hoarse voice.

"Miss Sang, are you alright?"

Sang Huan seemed to realize her rudeness at first, and quickly steadied herself, looking at him innocently with her watery eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I lost my balance just now, that's why I fell like that. You won't be angry with me, will you?"

As she said this, when she and Yanxi separated, Yanxi could clearly feel that her sensitive area was being gently scratched.

It was like a soft feather gently brushing against him; it was such a subtle touch, yet it made his ears turn completely red.

Looking at the innocent-looking woman in front of her, Yan Xi didn't know how to speak.

This aloof and ethereal prince, when faced with his fiancée, acted like a naive child, completely at a loss for how to respond.

"I'm fine."

He could only stiffly turn his head away, avoiding eye contact with that innocent-looking little rascal.

"Are you really alright, Young Master?"

Who knew that even though he intended to back down, Sang Huan wouldn't give him the chance at all.

She took a step forward, tiptoed, and boldly pressed her pretty face against his neck, letting her warm, sweet... soft breath fall upon him...

A deafening boom! It felt as if a thunderclap had suddenly struck my mind!

An indescribable electric current instantly surged from the soles of her feet to her scalp, making Yan Xi's scalp tingle uncontrollably, and the redness at the base of her ears quietly spread to the sides of her neck!

He was extremely flustered. After regaining his senses, he hurriedly took a step back.

A hint of tension surfaced in his long, dark eyes, and his usually low, husky voice was replaced by panic.

"Miss Sang, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

There's no need to get that close; this is too fast.

He was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Oh, really?"

The girl still looked at him with innocent and clear eyes. Worried that she might do something daring with that look again, Yan Xi quickly took a few steps back and reached out his hand.

"It's really nothing, Miss Sang, you don't need to get so close."

"Okay then~"

Upon hearing her words, Sang Huan indeed stopped and merely smiled slightly at her.

Seeing that she didn't come over again, Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but a vague sense of melancholy lingered in her heart.

But what the girl said next instantly diverted his attention.

"So, why would the renowned Prince Jing'an sneak into a woman's boudoir alone?"

When Yan Xi met those smiling eyes, all the words she had prepared vanished in an instant.

After a moment of silence, he regained his composure, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Miss Sang already knows about our engagement, so why bring this up?"

"So it's because of the engagement~" Sang Huan nodded with a smile, "But Your Highness should know that the person you are engaged to now is no longer me, but my dear sister Sang Ling."

Upon hearing her mention this person, Yan Xi subconsciously felt a little displeased. Just as he was about to say that he would not marry someone who was impersonating another,

The girl approached quietly, her fair face fully exposed before him. Her sweet and soft breath lingered around his nose, causing Yan Xi's pupils to tremble, yet he had no room to back down!

"Or perhaps, during our meeting this morning, the young master was captivated by me and only wants to be with me?"
