Chapter 25: Intentional

Su Qingwan stared at Lu Yuner without blinking, his moist eyes shining like stars, full of expectation. Especially the beauty mark at the corner of his eye unconsciously revealed a hint of charm that even he himself had not noticed.

As soon as the words were spoken, Lu Yuner’s body visibly paused, staring at him blankly. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, she would fall into those tender and affectionate, rippling beautiful eyes, and those captivating phoenix eyes only reflected her figure.

Although silent, the affectionate gaze, clear and passionate, made Lu Yuner’s heart race. Her ears suddenly turned red and hot, feeling as if her chest had also been scalded by that gaze.

Lu Yuner came from a family of teachers, with a harmonious family atmosphere. She had received a good education since childhood and always knew how to behave properly when dealing with people, but she was by no means a purely kind person.

Whether in modern times or here, the upbringing and gentleness ingrained in her bones had long been integrated into her demeanor, or rather, the current Lu Yuner was just Lu Yuner.

Regarding her past three love experiences, she could take them up and let them go, although none lasted more than three months, they all arose from emotion and ended with propriety.

Moreover, although this original body was born into a military family, the family tradition had always been strict. She had started her education at the age of three, guided by famous teachers, learning poetry and etiquette from a young age, and had never had any frivolous words or improper behavior until now.

At this moment, Lu Yuner’s mind was numb, her thoughts in a mess, and she stammered somewhat incoherently, “I… I…”

In the past, her lectures were orderly and her demeanor calm and gentle, but today at this moment, her flustered state and red ears all crashed into Su Qingwan’s eyes. Only to see a flash of uncontrollable wild joy in his eyes, like finding a treasure, the long corners of his eyes curving with an infatuated smile.

This was the first time he had seen… Sister Yuner flustered!

Flustered because of him.

At this moment, recalling what Xie Nanxi had told him, it seemed he was not wrong at all.

Only if he took the initiative, there might be a slight possibility between him and Sister Yuner.

Even if it was minimal, he had to try.

Suddenly, an abrupt sound came from outside the room.

“Young Master, Manager Chen has brought the doctor!” Xiao Yuan immediately pushed open the door and entered, speaking somewhat anxiously.

But he didn’t enter behind the screen, yet as soon as he entered the room, he sensed the thick amorous atmosphere lingering in the air.

Lu Yuner instantly came back to her senses, and in the next second, she pushed Su Qingwan away, feeling unable to hide her panic, and voluntarily took a few steps back, panting lightly to adjust her breathing.

Su Qingwan, suddenly pushed away, his frail figure swaying slightly, fortunately had something to lean on nearby. His face looked innocent and confused, gazing at Lu Yuner pitifully.

Under Su Qingwan’s moist gaze, Lu Yuner realized that his beautiful face, especially when teary-eyed, was particularly easy to bewitch and disturb one’s mind, with a kind of intangible beauty that could ensnare people.

It is said that the soul of a beautiful person is almost hidden in their eyes and brows. Every raise and lower of the eyebrows is full of charm. Even the slightest ripple can make the other person’s heart flutter and their eyes blur.

And Su Qingwan’s gaze was innocent and adorable, clear and bright.

But it was also as if it carried silk and electricity, naturally exuding a gentle and unaffected “charm”.

This sense of pure yet not lacking in coquettishness was irresistible to any woman.

Lu Yuner was no exception.

As a normal woman, faced with such alluring spring scenery, it was inevitable to lose composure and have normal physiological reactions.

His eyes bewitching the soul, yet unaware of it, was more likely to make one melt to the bone than coquettish behavior. Lu Yuner couldn’t stand his gaze and turned her face away somewhat guiltily.

“Sister Yuner, I…” Su Qingwan’s watery eyes looked at her, his soft voice tinged with a hint of coquetry as he intended to step forward.

Lu Yuner hurriedly stepped back, even regretting that she should have pushed him away earlier without considering other factors.

Why did she keep failing every time she encountered him?

At the moment, she just wanted to leave this place. Suddenly remembering the purpose of her visit today, she gradually lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, “Young Master Su, nothing is more important than physical health. Let the doctor examine you first. I shall take my leave.”

This time, Su Qingwan did not speak again. He knew this matter needed time.

It couldn’t be rushed.

Suddenly, the charming scene from earlier flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly.

Regardless of the reaction behind her, passing by the screen, Lu Yuner’s panic and helplessness had already subsided. Catching sight of Xiao Yuan standing nearby with his head slightly lowered, Lu Yuner’s eyes changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned to leave.

Only then did Xiao Yuan enter behind the screen, immediately going forward to support the young master. Noticing that the young master’s clothes were slightly disheveled and he was currently lost in thought, Xiao Yuan softly called out, “Young Master.”

Su Qingwan came back to his senses, his brows and eyes still somewhat delicate, but a hint of pleasure rippled in the depths of his eyes. “Help me back to the couch.”

Xiao Yuan noticed the change in the young master’s expression. What exactly had happened between the young master and Dr. Lu?

He naturally didn’t have the courage to ask.

However, Xiao Yuan’s heart was clear as a mirror. As a servant, he was not allowed to eavesdrop on conversations between his master and others, but he was always good at observing. As for what had happened in the room, he could guess one or two things.

When he first entered, his sharp eyes had vaguely seen through the screen the two figures hurriedly separating, but just a second ago, behind the lightly swaying bed curtains, this pair of shadows had been tightly embracing.

But such a bold move must have been initiated by the young master, deliberately teasing.

Alas! There was nothing to be done, who told his young master to take a fancy to Dr. Lu!

And it had to be her, no one else would do.

But come to think of it, it was strange. Women like Dr. Lu were truly rare in this world.

Not to mention the women from noble families, even those with a slight official position, which one didn’t love pleasure houses, with fragrant and soft beauties in their arms?

Even if they weren’t married yet, at least they would keep one or two male concubines by their side to satisfy normal needs.

But this Dr. Lu, having reached marriageable age, as far as he knew, had no one she fancied by her side, nor did she frequent brothels. She was more like a person who had renounced worldly desires and become a nun.

This preserving of chastity and maintaining of purity… wasn’t it going too far?

Xiao Yuan thought and pondered, unable to understand no matter how he tried. Suddenly his eyes widened, and his expression gradually became unpleasant.

He was deeply frightened by his own surprising thoughts and swallowed hard.

Could it be… that Dr. Lu had problems in that area?

Impotent?

Or perhaps… she had a preference for women?

Otherwise, why would Dr. Lu repeatedly reject the young master? Xiao Yuan looked at the young master with a face full of pity.

If that was the case… what could be done?

Just as Lu Yuner walked out of the door, she happened to meet Manager Chen bringing the doctor. She calmly greeted first, “Manager Chen.”

Seeing Lu Yuner waiting here, Chen Si inevitably felt apologetic, after all, she was a guest of the house and hadn’t even had a cup of hot tea yet.

Both emotionally and rationally, she had been remiss in her duties as a host.

She was about to instruct other servants to take Lu Yuner to Huanxi Pavilion when her gaze suddenly fell on the front of Lu Yuner’s clothes, where there were a few faint damp marks.

Chen Si’s expression gradually changed, and she suddenly changed her words, “Dr. Lu, please wait here for a moment. I’ll take the doctor to see the young master first, and I’ll be right back.”

She needed to confirm something.

The incident that had just occurred had distracted her, and she hadn’t noticed the damp marks on her own clothes. Lu Yuner sensed something was off, but as a guest, she should follow the host’s arrangements, so she replied, “It’s no problem, please attend to your business first.”

It wasn’t even half a moment later when Chen Si came out of the room, but the aura around her had become much heavier. She glanced faintly at Lu Yuner, “Dr. Lu, please come with me.”

The polite and courteous tone carried a hint of faint indifference. Lu Yuner thought that Manager Chen was worried about the young master’s health, hence her mood had deteriorated.

As an outsider, she naturally couldn’t ask too much.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, twilight was descending, and stone lanterns were lit along the path to Huanxi Pavilion, making the entire mansion appear brilliantly lit.

Indeed, it was a wealthy household! It looked especially grand and elegant compared to daytime.

“Dr. Lu, you seem to have quite a fate with our young master.” Chen Si suddenly spoke, without turning around, maintaining her leading posture.

These words fell into Lu Yuner’s ears, and she unconsciously frowned.
