She leaned down and kissed his forehead, leaving a goodnight kiss, “Tomorrow is aunt’s birthday banquet. Sleep early!”

“Mm.” With someone in his arms, Su Qingwan finally closed his eyes contentedly.

He didn’t know why, but ever since sleeping together with Yuner sister, he had become increasingly unaccustomed to sleeping alone.

When she wasn’t there, he would miss her, and couldn’t fall asleep thinking of her.

Unable to sleep at night, tossing and turning.

The next evening, at Qingya Garden, during the birthday banquet.

Qingya Garden was a private garden owned by Mu Xuan. The layout and scenery of the garden were grand and quite poetic.

The Mu family always held banquets at Qingya Garden, and this time was no exception.

Mu Xuan was considered a prominent merchant in Jinling Prefecture. The distinguished guests at today’s birthday banquet were all close friends and business associates.

At this time, there were opera performers singing in the Shaohua Pavilion of Qingya Garden. The banquet tables were set up in the Lotus Hall across the water. While women were drinking and conversing at the tables, the men on the inner side were also chatting and laughing.

Whether it was his outstanding appearance or noble status, Su Qingwan naturally had people trying to curry favor with him all around.

Unfortunately… Su Qingwan’s attention was on Lu Yuner. Through the beaded curtain, he vaguely looked towards the outer area. It was normal for women to drink and chat together.

But Yuner sister couldn’t drink alcohol. Seeing her use tea instead of alcohol to converse with others, his worried heart finally settled down.

If she got drunk, he would immediately take her back to Qinsi Garden. Only he could see her drunken state, and only he could stay by her side.

Mu Yang had just finished chatting with someone nearby when he saw young Master Su’s attention flying to the figure not far away.

His eyes moved, and he leaned close to Su Qingwan’s side, whispering: “Brother-in-law, don’t worry! Yuner sister knows her limits and won’t drink. Mother said early on that she wouldn’t let her touch alcohol.”

Su Qingwan smiled without speaking. As he was about to withdraw his gaze, he caught sight of Tang Jingyuan on the right side of the banquet staring at Yuner sister for a long time. His originally relaxed brows suddenly furrowed.

Tang Jingyuan was still shamelessly thinking about Yuner sister.

Last time he secretly drugged Yuner sister, and this time he still had the nerve to attend the birthday banquet.

Mu Yang followed Su Qingwan’s gaze towards Tang Jingyuan. Seeing the cold emotion in his eyes, he also understood some things.

Intending to ease the atmosphere, he spoke firmly: “Brother Jingyuan has just gotten engaged to the eldest daughter of the Yao family. They will be married soon. Brother-in-law doesn’t need to worry about anything.”

Upon receiving this news, Su Qingwan’s eyes gradually darkened. He pressed his lips and said: “I’m afraid that even after getting engaged, his thoughts of coveting others haven’t stopped.”

Recalling that covetous gaze just now, he muttered softly: “He really doesn’t give up!”

Not hearing the latter half clearly, Mu Yang frowned slightly: “What did you say?”

“Nothing.” As soon as Su Qingwan finished speaking, he saw that the figure at the distant banquet table was gone. He looked around and noticed that a certain person was also not in their original position.

Su Qingwan suddenly stood up, preparing to search for someone. Seeing this, Mu Yang also stood up and said meaningfully: “I’m familiar with Qingya Garden. I’ll accompany brother-in-law.”

After several rounds of drinks at the birthday banquet, some guests who had come from afar began to sway drunkenly. Aunt was fulfilling her duties as host at the banquet, while Lu Yuner, who hadn’t drunk, was helping aunt escort the intoxicated guests to rest in the guest rooms.

On her way back to the banquet, she ran into Tang Jingyuan standing quietly in place. Since that incident, she no longer had any trust or good feelings towards him.

She heard from uncle that he was already engaged. Moreover, with so many people around at this time, the two of them being alone would surely invite unexpected consequences.

Lu Yuner didn’t want to have much interaction with him and quickly passed by his side. However, he grabbed her arm and said urgently: “Wait! Yuner sister, I have something I want to say to you.”

Lu Yuner immediately withdrew her hand, turned to look at him, and said seriously: “We have nothing to talk about. As for that matter… I won’t tell anyone. Now that you’re engaged to someone else, live your life well!”

As she finished speaking and was about to leave, seeing her about to go again, Tang Jingyuan stepped forward a few paces with a sorrowful expression, immediately saying: “Yuner sister, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have done that to you that day. I apologize to you.”

As he finished speaking, he knelt down before Lu Yuner. Lu Yuner’s expression remained calm, obviously unmoved. She said indifferently: “I accept your apology. From now on, live your life steadily!”

Not far away, near the grass, Mu Yang looked at this scene with a puzzled expression. Listening to their conversation, he was also confused, arousing his curiosity. He whispered, “Brother-in-law, what exactly did Brother Jingyuan say he did to Yuner sister? And why is he kneeling to Yuner sister? Do you know?”

Su Qingwan coldly gazed at the person kneeling in front, his face covered in frost, and said coldly, “Despicable things that can’t be mentioned in public.”

Mu Yang’s lips parted slightly, looking at him in disbelief. Su Qingwan noticed his surprised expression and turned his eyes, saying, “You don’t believe it? Yuner sister also didn’t believe it at first, just like you, but some people are just all facade.”

“You know Yuner sister’s personality. Otherwise… look now, why is Yuner sister avoiding him so much, her attitude has changed so drastically from before.”

Naturally, he believed the young Master Su’s words. Mu Yang furrowed his brows, “Why didn’t Yuner sister say anything?”

Su Qingwan sighed lightly, “Of course it’s out of consideration for aunt and the Tang family’s face. Moreover, Yuner sister has her own plans.”

He changed the subject, recalling the situation when Yuner sister was drugged last time. His eyes filled with rage, carrying a full sense of authority, “However… Yuner sister is my woman. If young Master Tang doesn’t change his ways, continues to pester, and harbors improper thoughts towards Yuner sister again, I, Su Qingwan, will definitely not let him off, even if Yuner sister pleads for him.”

With these words, Su Qingwan turned and left, leaving only Mu Yang to look at the kneeling and weeping person in the distance with complicated feelings.

It seems that in these past few days, something he didn’t know about had happened between Yuner sister and Brother Jingyuan…

At this time, Lu Yuner met Su Qingwan who came to find her. Although the banquet was lively, it was too noisy. Now that the banquet atmosphere was at its peak, she took him for a walk to another part of Qingya Garden, which also served as after-meal digestion.

Lu Yuner held his hand and came to the quiet back garden, “This place is the other side of Qingya Garden where guests are not received. It’s a private area where no one will come in. I’ll take you for a walk around.”

Su Qingwan smiled gently and nodded.

As they walked, Lu Yuner said, “You saw everything just now.”

Su Qingwan replied without hesitation, “Yes, but Yangyang also saw it.”

Lu Yuner’s eyelashes trembled, and she said, “It’s fine if he saw. He’s clever, smart, and understanding. He won’t talk carelessly.”

Su Qingwan stopped in his tracks, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, filled with intoxicating tenderness: “Yuner sister, who do you think understands you better, me or Yangyang?”

Lu Yuner gazed at him lovingly, pulled him into her arms and held him tightly, slowly leaning against his shoulder and whispering in his ear: “Yangyang understands Lu Yuner, while Ah Wan understands me.”

Before Su Qingwan could feel touched, a rustling sound came.

“Oh my! Look at how impatient you are! Just like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey!”

“Don’t you want to experience this ecstatic pleasure? While everyone else is at the birthday banquet, there’s no one here. Hurry up! I can’t wait any longer!”

Hearing the urgent footsteps approaching, Lu Yuner’s eyes moved. Given the place and time, not knowing who was coming, she quickly hugged Su Qingwan and hid behind a fake mountain, whispering, “Don’t make a sound for now.”

Su Qingwan obediently listened, instinctively leaning closer into her embrace. Together with Lu Yuner, he looked towards the source of the sound in the moonlight.

At that moment, the surroundings were dark and quiet. They could vaguely see the indescribable scene.

A passionate encounter was beginning, surrounded by heart-pounding sounds of male and female pleasure.

Lu Yuner frowned. The outdoors was full of wild weeds, it was indecent, and it must be uncomfortable.

Judging by the ordinary clothes of the young man and woman, it seemed they were servants of the Mu family, slacking off and indulging in pleasure!

What day was it today! To do such a thing, they were truly brazen!

Su Qingwan naturally also knew what was happening, and immediately blushed even redder. To hide his embarrassment, he lowered his head and buried it in her embrace.

He thought to himself: They’re so shameless! Actually doing such unspeakable things on their master’s property.

But right now, he was here with Yuner sister…

Lu Yuner came back to her senses and saw Su Qingwan in her arms with his eyes lowered. This pure boy had never seen such an unsightly scene before, his little face must be completely red, too embarrassed to lift his head.

But now, behind the fake mountain was a lotus pond, and that couple was blocking their way out. If she and young Master Su suddenly appeared now, it seemed it would lead to other unpleasant speculations.

She then flicked her sleeve, throwing a pebble towards a tree branch nearby. The falling branch happened to land in the filthy spot, accompanied by several muffled cries of surprise.

Suddenly disturbed in their act, after all it was a clandestine affair, the couple was startled and guiltily hurried away.

Seeing that they had left, Lu Yuner finally let out a sigh of relief. She gently patted Su Qingwan’s back, “It’s alright now. What just happened… forget it! Don’t let it dirty your eyes. Come on, let’s go back.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an intense gaze was fixed firmly on her.

“Yuner sister, why are you so calm? How… how are you not affected at all?” Hearing her calm tone and composure in dealing with the situation, Su Qingwan raised his flushed face and asked in confusion.

“The banquet should be ending by now, let’s go back first.” Lu Yuner’s eyes were clear and spirited, as if seeing through everything. She said with a smile, “I’ll tell you when we get back to Qinsi Garden.”

Meeting her peach blossom eyes filled with a touch of spring ripples, her voice was warm and pleasant, with a rare hint of charm, sounding quite alluring.

At this moment, Su Qingwan’s heart was racing, his eyes full of anticipation.

Returning to the banquet, after helping uncle deal with the trifles of ending the banquet, Lu Yuner let Su Qingwan go back first, while she returned to Qinsi Garden about half an hour later.

Today’s banquet was full of chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes. Even a light sniff could detect the smell of food on one’s body. Only after washing up thoroughly, clean and refreshed, did Lu Yuner return to the room.

As usual, the light was not extinguished, and someone was still waiting for her.

Su Qingwan smiled brightly: “Yuner sister, you’re back.”

“Mm, I’m back.”

Lu Yuner closed the door and saw him sitting on the bed holding the letter Princess Yun had sent yesterday. She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, “Reading the letter?”

“Mm.” Su Qingwan folded the letter and put it away, “Yuner sister, you must be tired today? Let me give you a massage.”

“Ah Wan is so good to me!” Lu Yuner took off her clothes and shoes, then lay face down on the bed with her hands as a pillow, closing her eyes to enjoy his service.

Today was indeed a bit tiring. Aunt had introduced her to some important business guests, and she had to stand and accompany aunt to pour wine for the birthday well-wishers, which was a bit exhausting.

Su Qingwan knelt beside her, his hands continuously massaging her, occasionally asking, “Yuner sister, is this pressure alright?”

Lu Yuner said with a satisfied face: “Just right, very comfortable.”

The physical and mental fatigue was relieved a lot after the massage, and she quickly fell into a drowsy state.

Su Qingwan noticed that she was lying more and more quietly now, her breathing becoming slow and even. He stopped his actions, bent down and looked at her carefully.

The woman before him was like a clear water lotus, naturally gentle and beautiful, sleeping so docilely, like an exquisite painting, unforgettable after one glance.

Su Qingwan called softly: “Yuner sister, Yuner sister.”

Seeing no response, he lay down completely by her side, leaned down slowly and kissed her face contentedly.

Just as he was secretly delighted, the next second the woman before him opened her eyes. Before he could react, with a turn, she pressed him down beneath her. He was slightly stunned, “Yuner sister, you weren’t asleep just now?”

Lu Yuner lay on his chest, curving her lips in a low laugh: “No, I just wanted to see what Ah Wan would do to me. Sure enough… you had ulterior motives.”
