Chapter 226 Caught in the Act

Quiet bedroom.

The lights on the table were dim, reflecting two figures sitting close together.

The girl's cold and delicate body exuded an alluring faint fragrance, which was very pleasant, elegant and fresh. And Lin Jiangnian's "evil hand" that was quietly trying to invade upwards without anyone noticing was caught red-handed.

"Let go, let go!"

The voice of Zhiyuan was cold and trembling, and there was a bit of shame and anger that could not be concealed, accompanied by a little panic and fear.

Lin Jiangnian pretended to turn a blind eye, hoping to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to get closer. But before he could do anything, he felt a piercing pain on the back of his hand.

"Ouch!"

Lin Jiangnian felt the pain, took a breath of cold air, and subconsciously let go. And Zhiyuan in his arms took the opportunity to get away and quickly moved away from Lin Jiangnian.

The white face was flushed, the face was ashamed and angry, the breathing was rapid, and the chest rose and fell violently with the rapid breathing. There was infinite shame and anger in her beautiful eyes. She stared at Lin Jiangnian, bit her lower lip tightly, and said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian looked down at the back of his hand. It was not a big deal, but it was slightly blue.

"You are too cruel!"

Lin Jiangnian began to play the victim, "Look, how badly you pinched me?"

Zhiyuan said nothing, still staring at him with shame and anger.

Seeing that playing the victim was useless, Lin Jiangnian immediately changed his strategy, coughed lightly, stood up and walked towards Zhiyuan. Just after taking two steps, he heard Zhiyuan's cold and vigilant voice: "Stop."

Lin Jiangnian stopped in his tracks and saw Zhiyuan's flushed face suddenly turned away, expressionless.

"You, go back!"

Although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, this look still exposed her guilty conscience and panic at the moment.

Lin Jiangnian naturally did not take her threat seriously, and walked straight to Zhiyuan. Under the dim light, he saw Zhiyuan's delicate and flushed face up close.

The calm expression disappeared, and even if she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't hide the red glow on her fair face. The redness in the white is the most beautiful thing about a girl.

As Lin Jiangnian approached, her face, which was already red, became redder, her breathing became more rapid, and she even subconsciously took two steps back.

Her panic was obvious.

"Okay, I'm just kidding!"

Seeing her so nervous, Lin Jiangnian finally stopped and chuckled.

Zhiyuan is not as easy to bully as Xiaozhu, nor is she as submissive as Xiaozhu, who poses in any pose she wants...

If you force her too hard, it will be counterproductive.

Don't be impatient, take it slow, and take it step by step.

Compared with Xiaozhu's charming and obedient character, the stubborn little maid in front of her is obviously more challenging.

And more fulfilling!

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, still looking away, without saying a word. On the seemingly expressionless face, there was a hint of displeasure.

"Look, you're giving me a cold shoulder again."

Lin Jiangnian sighed, and then said, "I've told you that girls shouldn't put on a cold face all day long. You should smile more. You look better when you smile."

Zhiyuan still had a blank expression.

"Okay, it's getting late. Since you don't want to take me in tonight... then I can only stay alone in the empty room!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed. Before leaving, he did not forget to retreat in order to advance. He quietly carried out moral kidnapping and conscience condemnation on Zhiyuan.

However, Zhiyuan had no reaction to this, and her face was still expressionless. It was just that when Lin Jiangnian pushed the door and left the room, she stared at the door in a daze, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

But in the end, she said nothing.

Outside the door, the cold wind whistled. The few leaves left on the branches were blown rustling, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Lin Jiangnian wrapped his clothes around him and prepared to leave along the eaves. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the room next to him, which was faintly lit.

He subconsciously glanced behind him and saw that the door not far away was closed, without a sound.

Then, Lin Jiangnian quietly approached the door next to him, tiptoed and pushed it open quietly, stepped into the room at lightning speed, and closed the door in one go.

"Your Highness?"

In the warm and quiet room, the fire was burning brightly, driving away the cold outside the door.

Xiaozhu, who had just taken off her coat and was about to lie down to rest, suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly break into the door.

Xiaozhu was startled at first. How could someone break in at this time of night? She had been in the Lin Wang Mansion for a long time, and she almost had no habit of locking the door. When she looked carefully, she realized that the black shadow that broke in was actually your Highness.

Your Highness, why are you here at this time of night?

And so... sneaky?

Xiao Zhu blinked in confusion at first, and then realized something when she saw the prince walking towards her with a slightly hot gaze.

"Your Highness, you..."

Xiao Zhu's pretty face flushed immediately, and she looked shy and flustered: "Why are you here?!"

Lin Jiangnian approached the edge of the bed and his eyes fell on Xiao Zhu beside the bed. Xiao Zhu, who was about to lie down, had just taken off her outer clothes, leaving only a light pink lining on her body. The fire in the room was hot, and the lining on the little maid was not thick, sticking to her body, revealing the little maid's budding figure.

Xiao Zhu's face flushed, and the little maid knew very well what the prince's purpose was for breaking in so late at night. On the way to Beijing, the prince did not...

Seemingly noticing the prince's hot gaze, Xiao Zhu realized something, looked down, and then exclaimed "ah", panicked and covered her chest, shy and ashamed to face people.

The little maid's face is still very thin.

Lin Jiangnian looked away, half-smiling but not smiling: "What's wrong?"

As he said that, he sat on the edge of the bed, close to the little maid. Xiaozhu seemed to realize something, and quickly raised his blushing and flustered expression, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no... Your Highness, I can't do it tonight..."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "What?"

The little maid blushed, with a bitter look on her face: "It hurts, it still hurts..."

Apparently, the aftereffects of last night were still there.

Seeing the little maid's pitiful expression, Lin Jiangnian felt a little pity, gently touched her head, and said angrily: "What are you thinking about? I am the kind of person who only thinks about People who do bad things?”

Xiaozhu pouted, his eyes filled with resentment.

Isn’t that right, Your Highness?

Obviously every time before...

Seeing Xiaozhu's resentful eyes, Lin Jiangnian felt guilty, and coughed: "I just came here to see you tonight, with no other purpose... Since your body has not recovered yet, then take a good rest!"

"oh."

Xiaozhu said obediently.

Lin Jiangnian stayed with Xiaozhu for a while, and when he saw that it was getting late, he got up and left.

Of course, Lin Jiangnian originally wanted to stay, but Xiaozhu drove him away with a blushing face. Sister Zhiyuan's room is right next to her, so she doesn't dare to do it so blatantly.

If Sister Zhiyuan finds out... Xiaozhu is trembling.

After leaving the room, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh deeply. It was really a bad start tonight. They were kicked out by Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu one after another... These two little maids were really becoming more and more lawless.

Especially the paper kite...

Lin Jiangnian sighed as he returned to his courtyard room. However, when he opened the door and stepped into the room, he stopped suddenly.

There is someone in the room.

In the quiet and dark room, a figure loomed.

"Paper Kite?!"

Lin Jiangnian was suddenly startled.

It was dark all around, but Lin Jiangnian still recognized this beautiful figure in white at a glance.

It's the paper kite.

Why is she here?

Lin Jiangnian walked into the room and lit the lights in the room. As the lights turned on, the lonely silhouette of Zhiyuan appeared in his sight.

She was standing quietly in the room, staring at Lin Jiangnian expressionlessly. For some reason, it felt like Zhiyuan's eyes were a bit aggressive at the moment.

As if examining something.

"Zhiyuan, why are you here?"

Lin Jiangnian coughed, and suddenly an ominous premonition came to his heart.

Why is Zhiyuan... here?

Sure enough, the next second he saw Zhiyuan's eyes staring straight at him.

"Where did you go just now?"

The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but it seemed to carry some emotion.

Very strong!

It was so intense that Lin Jiangnian almost knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it!

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Where could he have just gone?

In an instant, Lin Jiangnian understood everything.

There was only a yard between Zhiyuan's room and his. Just now Lin Jiangnian stopped by Xiaozhu's room after leaving, and now Zhiyuan suddenly appeared in his room waiting for him...

The answer is already obvious!

And Zhiyuan's expression and reaction also explained all this.

Zhiyuan was afraid that he had discovered that he had sneaked into Xiaozhu's room, and was waiting here to catch him.

Good catch!

Lin Jiangnian felt guilty for a moment.

"Ahem..."

After a brief moment of guilt and panic, Lin Jiangnian quickly calmed down and explained calmly: "Xiaozhu hasn't been feeling well these past two days. I just stopped by to visit her... It's cold now, and Xiaozhu doesn't feel well either. Pay attention to your health, I’m afraid you may be infected with cold.”

Lin Jiangnian's explanation was watertight and had no flaws. Even take the initiative to confess and take the initiative. In this way, it seems magnanimous.

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes expressionlessly.

Lin Jiangnian didn't show any signs of panic, and continued to ask with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"By the way, why are you here? Is there anything else you can do?"

Mainly anti-customer.

Lin Jiangnian changed the topic without leaving any trace.

Zhiyuan still stared at Lin Jiangnian, not seeing anything out of the ordinary. After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze and said in a cold tone: "It's okay."

After saying that, she walked towards the door.

Crisp and neat.

However, he had just taken two steps when he was pulled back by Lin Jiangnian.

"etc."

Zhiyuan stopped and stared back at him.

"You're here, sit down for a while."

Young Lin Jiang coughed: "There are some things I forgot to tell you."

…

Lin Jiangnian naturally had nothing to tell Zhiyuan, he just wanted to find an excuse to keep her here.

It could be seen that Zhiyuan was not in high spirits. Although she did not catch him in bed, if she was allowed to go like this tonight, she would be sulky again and ignore Lin Jiangnian for a long time.

Paper Kite is very smart, so smart that it’s not easy to fool!

His explanation was watertight, but Zhiyuan obviously didn't believe it.

However, Zhiyuan didn't seem to intend to expose it.

Lin Jiangnian closed the door, locked it quietly, and turned back.

Zhiyuan still stood there, motionless. Dressed in white, he really looks like a cold and proud sculpture.

"Come and sit first."

Lin Jiangnian greeted.

The kite didn't move.

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I finally figured it out. Now you don't take me seriously at all."

Zhiyuan remained silent, and her cold eyes moved slightly. After a moment, she walked closer, sat down, and stared at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian approached and took her hand. Zhiyuan struggled, but Lin Jiangnian held on tightly. Zhiyuan continued to struggle, and Lin Jiangnian held on tighter.

Looking up, he saw a bit of displeasure in Zhiyuan's eyes.

Lin Jiangnian chuckled: "Are you jealous?"

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes. But the next second, it suddenly disappeared again.

She turned her eyes away and said coldly: "No."

"Really not?"

silence.

"If not, why do you need to explain?"

Lin Jiangnian half-smiled and raised his eyebrows: "From what I know about you, if it's true, you wouldn't even bother to deny it...right?"

As if she had seen through her thoughts, Zhiyuan obviously had mood swings. She glanced at Lin Jiangnian coldly, then quickly turned away, saying dull and expressionless, "No, no."

The harsh tone contained a hint of imperceptible annoyance.

"Okay, okay, if not, there won't be."

Lin Jiangnian did not continue to stimulate her, but the smile on his face became brighter. Seeing that Zhiyuan's face became colder and colder, Lin Jiangnian restrained himself.

He held Zhiyuan's bare hand tightly, interlocking his fingers tightly, not giving her a chance to break away. Staring at the cold, indifferent face in front of him that looked extremely unhappy, some unspeakable emotions welled up in Lin Jiangnian's heart.

In the beginning, Lin Jiangnian may have had some intentions of surrendering to this stubborn little maid, but from the reunion in Xunyang City to being trapped in a secret room in the back mountain, he escaped with serious injuries and rested in a small mountain village. As he entered Beijing all the way, Lin Jiangnian's thoughts had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhiyuan's several rescues, even regardless of her own safety, allowed Lin Jiangnian to be sure that the proud little maid in front of him, who used to be dismissive of him, had already developed different feelings for him.

Although Zhiyuan rarely expresses it, and never even expresses it verbally. But many of her actions have already proven everything silently.

Lin Jiangnian quietly stared at the face that was as cold as water, yet so beautiful. It was just as beautiful as when they first met.

In a daze, so much time has passed.

Until he stared for so long that Zhiyuan became impatient.

"Paper Kite."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke softly: "When we return to Linzhou this time, shall we get married?"

Zhiyuan's face originally had a slightly impatient expression, but when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words, she suddenly froze on the spot.

As if she suspected that she had heard wrongly, she suddenly raised her head, her cold eyes full of astonishment.

"you……"

Her voice was still cold, but there was a bit of shock and confusion that could not be concealed.

"What did you say?!"

"..."
