"You were eavesdropping on our conversation?" Meng Wan asked in shock.
"I wasn't eavesdropping. You were right next door, and I just overheard you." The man looked completely innocent.
Meng Wan prided herself on being relatively calm, but at this moment she really wanted to curse at this man...

"Shameless!" she gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.
"Thank you for the compliment!" As if he hadn't noticed her rejection, the man still smiled nonchalantly.
Meng Wan was completely speechless. "Alright, then may I ask you, what brings you to sneak into the Prime Minister's residence to find me?"
"It's nothing, I just missed you, so I climbed over the wall to see you." The man said it lightly, as if climbing over the wall was the most righteous thing in the world.
As he spoke, he leaned down to look her in the eye and smiled, "How is it? Aren't you touched?"
...
Meng Wan's lips trembled. She struggled to suppress the urge to slap him. Just then, the Third Madam's voice rang out from outside the door: "Wan'er, are you awake?"
Meng Wan was startled, her expression changing drastically: "Aunt?" Why is she here at this time?
She turned to the man beside her, her face filled with panic.
Although it's nothing to do with him, if her aunt sees it, she'll be completely unable to defend herself!
What to do? What to do?
"Your aunt is here?" He stared at Mu Ci's panicked expression with amusement, his eyes gleaming with a strange excitement. "Seems quite interesting." Interesting?
"you..."
"Wan'er, are you inside?" But before she could react, the Third Madam's voice rang out again from outside the door, filled with doubt.
Meng Wan felt like crying but had no tears left. She almost jumped off the bed, grabbing his arm as she tried to hide behind the screen. The man, however, didn't move. He just stood there, staring at her with an air of calm and composure.
Meng Wan panicked: "What are you doing? Hide!"
"No!" The man smirked, his smile wicked. "Unless... you promise to kiss me."
"You!" Meng Wan was furious.
The man smiled brightly and slowly raised his eyes, which were filled with a crimson light. "It's okay if we don't kiss. Then I'll wait here for the people outside to come in."
Meng Wan was truly devastated. She gritted her teeth, slowly raised her fingers to his shoulder, then closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Is this okay?
Suddenly, his grip tightened around her waist as he held her close, lowered his head slightly, and captured her cherry lips in his mouth.
"Mmm--" Their lips met, and Meng Wan's eyes widened in disbelief. He...
“This is a real kiss. What was yours?” the man chuckled and whispered in her ear.
Meng Wan felt like dying at this moment. She had met him twice, and he had taken advantage of her both times. How could this be allowed?
She raised her hand to slap him, but before she could finish, the Third Madam's questioning voice came from outside the door again: "Strange, there was clearly movement, could he not be inside?"
She muttered to herself, then pressed her hand harder on the door: "Wan'er, I'm coming in."
Her hand slowly touched the tightly closed door, and just as she was about to push it open, Meng Wan's panicked voice suddenly came from inside. She almost screamed, "Auntie, wait a minute, I'm changing my clothes."
"Changing clothes?" the man chuckled, his handsome features dazzling, but Meng Wan only found them blinding.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" she urged in a low voice.
"I'm leaving now, but we'll meet again."
Having said that, before Meng Wan could speak again, he rose into the air and disappeared from her sight the instant the window opened and closed.
The strange man... Meng Wan stared at the window, her delicate brows furrowed tightly. Who was this man? What did he want by pestering her like this?

Completely baffled, Meng Wan opened the door for the Third Madam.
As soon as the door opened, the Third Madam walked in. Seeing that Meng Wan was dressed neatly, she asked, "What were you doing just now?"
Meng Wan felt a pang of panic and instinctively glanced towards the window. The window was tightly closed, and she couldn't see anything amiss. She then said, "I accidentally spilled water on myself and changed my clothes. Why did you come at this hour, Aunt?"
Without giving it much thought, the Third Madam reached out and pulled Meng Wan's hand to sit down with her. "It's nothing, I just came to see you and ask you a few questions."
"Huh? What is it?" Meng Wan asked, puzzled.
"I just heard that your second sister has gone out of the manor again. She's been almost never home these past two days. Do you know what she's been up to?"
Meng Wan was startled, realizing she had forgotten about her aunt.
Because the Third Madam herself had no children, she paid extra attention to her daughters. She would inquire about their daily affairs, but when Meng Junyao went out of the Prime Minister's residence for several days in a row, she would naturally ask about it.
Meng Wan lowered her eyes.
According to the plan, now is not the time to let her aunt know about Meng Junyao and Huangfu Qian, but since her aunt asked, she could not not answer, so she smiled and said, "I suppose there is something you need to do? You didn't mention it to me, but I think you just went out for a walk. Aunt, you don't need to worry."
“But going out every day is really unusual. I’ve wanted to ask her about it for a while, but I was afraid she wouldn’t want to talk about it. You’re on good terms with her, why don’t you ask her?”
Meng Wan nodded: "I understand. I didn't notice before. I'll ask her when she gets back. But Aunt doesn't need to worry. Second Sister isn't a child. She knows what she can and can't do."
