An Xin was annoyed that she hadn't gone for it, glared at him and said, "You won't be so lucky next time!"
He said, his long eyelashes curving upwards, "I've always been lucky."
An Xin rolled her eyes and was about to withdraw her hand when she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. The wound that Dr. Niu had carefully bandaged had been untied again!
"A sword wound, or was it inflicted by the Feng family with the Nanling sword?" He pulled her to the side, casually took out a small white jade bottle, scooped out some ointment, and applied it to her wound, instantly cooling the burning pain.
An Xin was surprised that he could deduce that it was the Feng family's doing based solely on the sword wound, but she said, "What's it to you!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "Your business is my business, so naturally it concerns me!"
An Xin couldn't help but retort, "Why is my business any of yours! I didn't come here to talk about this!"
His fingertips touched her wound, feeling cool and slightly itchy. The sensation stretched all the way to her heart, leaving An Xin feeling inexplicably confused. Her gaze was calm yet hesitant as she looked at his wet hair, lost in thought.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later." He re-bandaged her wound, then raised his eyelashes, put one hand behind her ear and pressed it against the wall behind her, his eyes sparkling as he looked at her with a smile and said, "What did you come here to say in such a hurry?"
Even though An Xin was as calm as a rock, she was having some difficulty breathing. This kind of man should be sent to a research institute to be made into a specimen, so that he won't come out and harm people!
"..." My thoughts were also a little disorganized!
"Stay away from me." An Xin finally spoke; these four words were more important right now!
His eyes fluctuated, not far away but closer. At this moment, their breathing was close and their breaths were smelling, and An Xin had the urge to hit someone again!
“Apart from me, everyone else can stay away.” He stared intently into her eyes, a distance that made An Xin feel dizzy. She couldn’t help but close her eyelashes briefly, then opened them again with a calm expression. “What’s going on with the people in my family?”
He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "If you do something wrong, you should correct it. They did a lot of harm to your father back then. Bearing thorns to apologize is a way to make amends for their mistakes."
An Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Would my father have suffered so much without you?!"
He lowered his eyelashes and looked at her, paused for a moment and said, "If I had known that you were who you are now, and that you were An Youwei's daughter, his ending would have been exactly the opposite."
An Xin was speechless for a long time before finally asking, "What do you mean?"
He smiled faintly and said, "Think about it yourself. Even smart people have their moments of not being smart."
An Xin had a headache: "Get those people out of here! Although my father has been demoted, the officialdom is like a battlefield. It's not a bad thing to be away from the center of the storm! I would rather he live a peaceful life! Besides, with you as the mastermind, what's the use of their apologies!"
Yan Zhen's long eyelashes trembled, then she withdrew her hand and walked away.
An Xin breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down completely: "The Right Prime Minister is busy with court affairs and doesn't need to waste his energy on us commoners... I'm leaving!"
An Xin walked past him, but he grabbed her wrist. The grab touched her wound, and she gasped in pain, turning around to glare at him.
"How can you just leave like that? Go on." He looked back at her with a smile, as if he had just come out of some deep thought, and moved her injured hand to her other hand.
An Xin said irritably, "Are you done talking?"
His eyes flashed, and he laughed, "Then I'll say it. That Nanling sword is very fast. You should be glad that you still have your arm. In the future, fight if you can, and run if you can't."
An Xin forcefully pulled her hand back and said, "Do you need to tell me!"
Yan Zhen casually took out a red carved square box and handed it to her, saying, "Keep this with you for self-defense, and this is a bento box... a bento box as an apology to your father."
An Xin raised an eyebrow and stared at him, saying, "I just want to understand why you made them apologize to my father? Did you suddenly have a change of heart?"
Yan Zhen chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with thinking that way."
An Xin frowned, glanced at the box, and said, "There's no need for an apology. Doing good is the right path. Let's clear up the matter concerning my father. From now on, we'll go our separate ways..." An Xin's eyes widened suddenly, and she involuntarily shrank back. "What are you doing?"
Yan Zhen's fingertips touched her hair, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "I have never liked getting involved with Taiqing, understand?"
An ominous premonition rose in An Xin's heart, and she subconsciously tried to back away, but her body was suddenly lifted into the air. She was genuinely frightened and angrily said, "Yan Zhen, you bastard, what are you going to do now?!"
Yan Zhen glanced at her and said, "It's a bit complicated."
An Xin tried to struggle, but found herself unable to move. She desperately tried to press her acupoints while gritting her teeth and saying, "Let me go!"
Yan Zhen let go of her hand, and indeed released her.
An Xin fell onto the bed. The next moment, Yan Zhen raised his hand and tugged at her waist belt. He continued to undo her clothes without stopping.
An Xin's face turned pale. She wasn't stupid; of course she understood what this meant!
He cursed "bastard" inwardly, but remained calm aloud, saying, "Does the Right Prime Minister intend to forcibly abduct this woman?!"
Yan Zhen slowly replied, "Hmm."
An Xin almost couldn't breathe because she was holding her breath!
Where is the law?!
"The law itself is the law!"
I will hate you for the rest of my life!
"Hmm, then things are truly entangled!"
An Xin held her breath again!
I will kill you!
"Bring it on!"
"Son of a bitch!"
"I will try my best to make you have more children in the future!"
