Leave forever …
Long Fei Ye hugged Han Yunxi and rested his chin on her forehead.
After a long silence, he finally said, "I won't. Unless … I die."
Han Yunxi immediately covered his mouth. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Long Fei Ye countered, "Han Yunxi, what about you?"
"No, absolutely not!" Han Yunxi replied quickly and resolutely.
No matter what, she would never! After the false alarm, Han Yunxi's heart was resolute.
After Han Yunxi expressed her stance, she realized that Long Fei Ye's gaze was a little different.
He kept staring at her and didn't say anything for a long time. At first, Han Yunxi was still immersed in a faint sadness, but after being stared at by this guy for a long time, she gradually felt uncomfortable all over. She couldn't help but feel that Long Fei Ye's gaze was a little strange.
When it came to staring, there was probably no one in the world who could beat His Highness Duke of Qin. In any case, every time their eyes met in silence, Han Yunxi would always be the first to admit defeat.
She timidly opened her mouth and said, "Long Fei Ye … what's wrong?"
"What did you just say? Say it again." Long Fei Ye asked.
She had just said that she would never leave him.
"I said …"
Han Yunxi almost blurted it out, but when the words reached her mouth, she suddenly couldn't say it. Instead, she blushed.
Your Highness Duke of Qin, are you sure you're not teasing me?
Long Fei Ye laughed heartily and leaned over to her ear. His breath was domineering. "This prince likes those words!"
Han Yunxi was both embarrassed and happy.
Alright, she admitted that she was more happy than embarrassed.
Since she liked him so much, she might as well go all out. In any case, she was willing to go all out on many things, so this one wouldn't make a difference.
She suddenly reached out and circled Long Fei Ye's neck. She pulled him down and pressed her lips against his ear. "This princess will remember your words!"
Long Fei Ye was stunned. He was surprised that this woman was so bold.
However, how could His Highness Duke of Qin be so easily taken advantage of after being distracted for only a moment? He took the opportunity to lean down. Han Yunxi could only slowly lean back and lie down.
Long Fei Ye thought that Han Yunxi would let go, but she kept her arms around his neck and didn't let go.
Ever since the last time she returned to her maternal home and smashed the bowl of medicine, this woman's guts had indeed grown fat!
Han Yunxi almost let go, but seeing how domineering and bad he was, she refused to let go!
As a result …
She slowly lay on her back on the couch. Long Fei Ye slowly leaned over and buried his head in her collarbone. His neck was tightly held by her hands.
Han Yunxi raised her head and couldn't help but laugh heartily. To think that His Highness Duke of Qin would be under someone else's control!
Allowing Han Yunxi to laugh, Long Fei Ye buried his head and didn't move.
But very quickly, Han Yunxi's laughter came to an abrupt halt. She suddenly quivered and her entire body tensed up.
This … what's going on?
Long Fei Ye was actually nibbling on her collarbone!
There was a saying that one would get burned if one played with fire. Han Yunxi was the only one who could feel her entire body stiffening. Only her hands slowly let go of Long Fei Ye.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Long Fei Ye was still going. The numbness quickly spread throughout Han Yunxi's body. And he gradually moved down and undid her collar.
He had just let go, but Han Yunxi unconsciously wrapped her arms around him again. She couldn't help but murmur, "Long Fei Ye …"
It was precisely this murmur that caused the delirious Long Fei Ye to suddenly stop. He looked at her, a faint trace of helplessness flashing across his eyes.
But it quickly disappeared. He bit her, then stood up and looked at her. "Are you still laughing?"
Han Yunxi's courage was still limited. How could she dare to laugh? She obediently shook her head.
She had almost misfired. No matter how brave she was, the consequences … Alright, she didn't dare to imagine.
Long Fei Ye was very satisfied and said mildly, "Rest well for the next few days. Don't run around before Gu comes."
Han Yunxi's heart thumped. She knew that he would bring up this matter to her sooner or later.
She wasn't sure how much of what he said last time was said out of anger and how much of it was true.
"You also think that he will come?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Do you think that he won't dare to come?" Long Fei Ye countered with a double meaning.
"Let's take a gamble." Han Yunxi smiled faintly. "I bet that he'll dare!"
Han Yunxi's' dare 'had a double meaning as well.
"This prince is also betting that he'll dare to come," Long Fei Ye said.
There were some things that both sides had a tacit understanding of.
Han Yunxi got off the bed and chatted casually. "Since Imperial Physician Gu is here, if we can get Mu Ling'er to stay at Pill Fiend Pharmacy, then chenqie won't have to worry about it anymore."
Han Yunxi wanted to expand Pill Fiend Pharmacy and nurture it into a major power in the medical world. However, she really didn't want to trap herself in Pill Fiend Pharmacy. After all, medicinal ingredients weren't her forte, nor was it her interest.
Her forte lay in poisons, but what she was most interested in was what Long Fei Ye planned to do next after throwing Tianning into chaos. If his target was Medicine City, then perhaps she could use this chance to learn more about Madam Mu Xin from Mu Yingdong.
Mute Granny was already a thing of the past, so there was no point in worrying about it. On the other hand, Mu Yingdong, who'd imprisoned Mute Granny, must know a lot!
Long Fei Ye was rather surprised. He'd always thought that Han Yunxi wanted to personally manage Pill Fiend Pharmacy.
"Then what do you want to worry about?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"I want to worry about what Your Highness is worried about. I want to share Your Highness's burdens." Han Yunxi was serious.
Long Fei Ye, who'd been wearing an unsightly expression this whole time, actually smiled. "I don't need you to worry about me. Don't worry."
How could he not worry about anything that was in his heart? How could he not worry about it?
Han Yunxi smiled as well. "So you're saying … that I'm meddling in other people's business?"
She hadn't noticed that he'd used the word 'I' multiple times. He also hadn't noticed that whenever he referred to himself as "this prince," she'd refer to herself as "chenqie." Apart from that, she was calling him by his name more and more often.
However, he did notice that this wasn't the first time he'd been rendered speechless in front of this woman.
In the end, he coughed lightly a few times and said, "Do as you wish."
If his subordinates heard these words, they'd probably stay awake for three days straight. Who in the world could really control His Highness Duke of Qin?!
Gu's matter seemed to have been glossed over in a few words.
However, just as Long Fei Ye was about to leave, Han Yunxi couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, no matter what, chenqie's life was saved by him. If he dares to come, I hope that Your Highness will think thrice before acting. "
Long Fei Ye paused for a while before leaving.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with a complicated light as she followed him out. However, she saw that Long Fei Ye didn't seem to have any intention of leaving Jiangnan's plum blossom sea. He'd only gone to the pavilion in the garden.
Seven days. It couldn't be considered long, but it couldn't be considered short either.
Han Yunxi thought that Long Fei Ye would 'confine' her to Jiangnan's plum blossom sea and go out by himself. However, Jiangnan's plum blossom sea seemed to be her paradise. Ever since she'd come here, Long Fei Ye had never left her behind. This time was no exception.
Long Fei Ye and she settled down in the small hot spring villa. Although secret and urgent letters were delivered to them every day, Long Fei Ye didn't leave even half a step.
The entire world was talking about Pill Fiend Pharmacy, but the two of them seemed to be on vacation, leisurely and carefree. Neither of them brought up Gu's matter again.
Late autumn was approaching and the weather was getting colder. It was the best time to start soaking in the hot springs.
Besides tea, hot springs were Long Fei Ye's favorite things to do.
If he wasn't waking up in the morning or afternoon, he'd soak in the hot springs and sip tea in the midst of the mist.
Last time, Han Yunxi had secretly noticed this habit of his. This time, she'd chosen to soak in the hot springs at noon or late at night.
Yes, she really liked hot springs too!
In the past, she'd always chosen to sneak into his quarters when he wasn't there. Every time, she'd been on tenterhooks, much less in an open pool like the hot springs.
But now she'd grown bolder.
Whenever she soaked in the hot springs, she'd take a nap.
Tonight, she soaked in the water again and leaned against the side of the pool until she fell asleep.
But suddenly, a figure flashed past the surrounding trees and landed outside. It was so quiet that Han Yunxi didn't notice it at all.
Outside, Chu Xifeng clutched his chest and forced himself to stand up, his expression blank.
He'd just returned and was in a rush to report to His Highness, but he'd been kicked to the ground before he'd even reached the hot springs.
Of course he recognized the kick as His Highness's, so he was at a loss!
He hadn't done anything wrong recently!
Very soon, Long Fei Ye emerged with his hands behind his back and slowly descended from the roof.
"Master …" Chu Xifeng felt wronged.
"Who allowed you to come in as you please? If there's a next time, you'll have to bear the consequences! "Long Fei Ye said.
Chu Xifeng looked back in the direction he'd come from and suddenly realized what was going on. He'd just come from the back of the hot springs, where the hot springs were.
Thinking up to here, Chu Xifeng's back grew cold with lingering fear. Fortunately, his martial arts were trash and he hadn't flown out of the woods. Otherwise …
But … but could it be that the more they quarreled, the more intimate they became? Why are they fighting like this tonight?
One is soaking in the hot springs while the other is standing guard …?
Chu Xifeng was quite quick-witted at times. He quickly said, "Your Highness, matters at Medical City aren't urgent. This subordinate won't disturb you any longer."
Long Fei Ye had sent Chu Xifeng to Medical City to investigate Gu's past. Logically speaking, he should be anxious to know the situation now.
But Chu Xifeng's words only made him wave a hand, indicating that he should withdraw.
Chu Xifeng was a little flabbergasted. Actually, he'd only … only wanted to curry favor with the man, but …
Chu Xifeng gave a start, while Long Fei Ye retorted Coldly, "Still not leaving?"
Chu Xifeng almost thought he was dreaming back to the Plum Blossom Sea, so he left in a daze.
After making sure Chu Xifeng was gone, Long Fei Ye lightly leapt onto the roof of the hot springs again.
The night was still and silent, its moonlight like a wash. Steam filled the hot springs as a beautiful woman slept.
Although he was paying attention to the person in the springs, he was mostly paying attention to the movements around him.
His face was cold, firm, silent, ascetic, stubborn, and frigid. Like the mysterious night, it was impossible to see through him.
Was he guarding, or spying?
Truthfully speaking, guarding was more like spying, but when …
