Chapter 67: Ah

“Why are there a moon and stars in the sky?”

“Why do they only appear at night?”

“By the way, Elder Sister Yuner, do you prefer the moon or the stars?”

…

Su Qingwan was like a hundred thousand whys, suddenly coming up with all sorts of questions full of energy.

Lu Yuner curved her lips, closing her eyes without responding to his chatter, letting him talk to himself.

Su Qingwan slowly realized and stopped talking, raising his head to gaze deeply at the beautiful sleeping face before him.

At this moment, sharing a bed and embracing Elder Sister Yuner, being able to look at her so closely, he was finally one step closer to his long-cherished wish.

Although Elder Sister Yuner hadn’t said a word since he got on the bamboo bed, having said she wouldn’t share a bed with him, she still silently acquiesced.

That’s right, Elder Sister Yuner was indulging him.

The young man’s eyes were pitch black, staring intently at her eyes. He knew Elder Sister Yuner was pretending to sleep, and suddenly had the urge to tease her.

Su Qingwan withdrew the hand resting on his waist, naturally moving towards the edge of the bamboo bed as he turned over, pretending he was about to fall off the bed. He curved his lips, then let out a frightened cry, “Ah—”

The next second, Su Qingwan felt a force around his waist, instantly pulled back and firmly held in the woman’s arms.

“Are you scared?” Lu Yuner furrowed her brow, her eyes filled with worry, “I should hold you and put you back on the bed to sleep, to prevent you from falling again.”

“It’s alright, Elder Sister Yuner, I’m really fine.” Originally wanting to test Elder Sister Yuner, who would have thought this action would make her want to send him back to bed, Su Qingwan became anxious and forcefully pushed Lu Yuner down onto the bamboo bed, his whole body pressing down on top of her.

A hint of triumphant smile flashed in Su Qingwan’s eyes. His face was flushed red to his ears, and although he felt embarrassed, he still met her gaze, looking deeply into her eyes.

At this moment, the young man’s loose clothes slipped off his shoulders, revealing his snow-white collarbone. That cinnabar mole shimmered indistinctly in the moonlight.

The night was alluring, full of romance, half-hidden and half-revealed, seeming to conceal yet actually revealing more.

Shocked by Su Qingwan’s increasingly bold behavior, Lu Yuner pretended to be calm, but a faint blush quietly spread across her cheeks.

She coughed lightly twice, covering up her inner turmoil, and reached out to help him adjust his clothes. Her fingers inevitably touched his smooth skin. “Be good, don’t make trouble.”

Su Qingwan looked at her blushing face and smiled ambiguously, purposely twirling her hair around his fingertips, playing with it in his hand. His gaze was as hot as fire. “Elder Sister Yuner, my body has almost fully recovered now. When are we going back?”

Because Elder Sister Yuner had promised him that after they returned, she would come to propose marriage and marry him. Only on their wedding night would Elder Sister Yuner touch him.

The young man’s words had a double meaning, but Lu Yuner didn’t notice. Instead, she thought he was homesick and missing his family.

The account book matter had already passed for some time and should have been dealt with. But what puzzled her was why no one had come looking for them yet?

Not to mention others, but Qiu Yi was the one who worried about her the most. Yet even Qiu Yi hadn’t come looking for her, which was quite perplexing.

Now that Su Qingwan’s body had also recovered, it was time to return to the capital to investigate.

Suddenly Lu Yuner remembered something and said, “The day after tomorrow is the full moon celebration for Miss Ma’s daughter. We’ll return to the capital after attending the joyous occasion.”

Hearing about going to Miss Ma’s full moon celebration, Su Qingwan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, his phoenix eyes animated. Blushing, he asked softly, “Elder Sister Yuner, do you like children?”

“I do like them! Why…” Seeing his boyish shyness, Lu Yuner smiled and deliberately teased, “Qingwan, do you want to bear children for me?”

Su Qingwan nodded vigorously in excitement, his curled fingers tightly gripping her clothes, his starry eyes full of infinite expectation and longing.

The young man’s face was flushed like peach blossoms, his eyes alluring. As luck would have it, his clothes slipped down again.

The beautifully curved shoulders and neck were exposed once more, with smooth black hair falling across his chest. That bright red cinnabar mole faintly gleamed with a bewitching luster, like a painting of an enchanting beauty.

Lu Yuner’s eyes darkened, and she fell silent.

As if possessed, she raised her hand towards that conspicuous cinnabar mole, touching the white and hot skin with her fingertips.

The place she touched felt as if a light feather had brushed past, making Su Qingwan feel a tingling sensation, accompanied by a burning heat.

At this moment, a lingering fragrance of intimacy wafted through the quiet room, and even the bright moon outside seemed to shyly hide behind the clouds.

The young man lowered his gaze shyly, his eyes as alluring as autumn ripples.

The rising strange feeling was both unfamiliar and familiar to Su Qingwan.

It was as if the restless beast in his heart was shaking its cage with a rumbling sound.

His body moved with his heart, and he acted accordingly.

Su Qingwan couldn’t help but raise his eyes bashfully, his voice low and hoarse yet soft and coquettish, “Elder Sister Yuner…”

Before he could finish his shy words, he leaned in close to her ear and continued to whisper softly.

Lu Yuner’s face reddened.

Just as Su Qingwan was about to proceed to the next step, a quick rotation occurred, and when he came to his senses, their positions had been switched.

The ambiguity remained undiminished.

The young man’s disheveled clothes caused a large expanse of snow-white skin to be exposed, and moreover, the small bamboo bed was not like a regular bed. Its space was not spacious to begin with, and the two couldn’t make too large movements or fluctuations, otherwise they would fall off the bed.

To prevent him from moving chaotically or falling off, Lu Yuner held the young man’s slender snow-white wrist with one hand.

At the same time, two alluring areas where clothes had slipped off could be vaguely seen.

Three parts mystery, six parts cuteness, and one part seduction.

Lu Yuner tried hard to suppress the restlessness that was about to erupt, but found that her body’s reaction was even more honest than her thoughts, actually taking the initiative to touch him.

It was as if she had become somewhat of a bad woman playing the rogue.

Faced with Su Qingwan, Lu Yuner felt increasingly out of control in her heart.

But she couldn’t touch him now, nor should she.

They had no marriage agreement, and moreover, regarding Yun Qinwang, although she had once allowed her to marry Su Qingwan, she had politely declined with a game of chess.

Although there were subtle attempts to matchmake afterwards, she had after all slighted his feelings initially.

And she learned from Elder Sister Lan that Wan Ling had quite the affection for Su Qingwan, not to mention her deep relationship with Yun Qinwang.

Moreover, she was a female general with outstanding military achievements and a noble title. Such a prestigious status was truly a perfect match for Su Qingwan.

Although in Lu Yuner’s heart, if two people truly loved each other, all these rules and regulations were beneath contempt.

But… this place was different, and moreover, parents interfering in their children’s marriages had existed since ancient times.

If Yun Qinwang changed her mind and preferred Wan Ling, she didn’t know if she could fight for love against the supreme power.

After all, she had the entire Lu family behind her.
