Chapter Forty-Three A Guest Arrives

  Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly as she said seriously: "I found that you can be quite stubborn at times."

  "Thank you for the compliment." Ling Feng smiled with a silly expression, and compared to just now in the hall, his whole body was emitting a cold aura, it's like two different people!

  "Have I ever boasted about you?" Ye Yun was speechless. "Right, regarding the rumor, I'll handle it myself."

  "No! How can we trouble the young lady with this matter?" Ling Feng's attitude was very firm.

  Ye Yun also didn't want to persist too much, it's better not to worry about it. Here she was unfamiliar with the place and had no one to trust, handling this matter was indeed very troublesome.

  After what happened that day, Ling Wei became much more obedient and stayed in her own courtyard for several days without coming out.

  Ling Feng has also been gone for several days. Sometimes he can't be seen from dawn till dusk, but in the middle of the night, when I wake up from a dream, I can feel that he is sleeping outside.

  Ye Yun was bored and decided to conduct an experiment with the dried lavender from the backyard. First, she made some dried flower arrangements and put them in her closet.

  This can not only prevent insects from biting, but also leave a faint lavender scent on clothes.

  Not to mention, the lavender in the garden of Lingmu Villa is exceptionally fragrant.

  Ye Yun bought a lot of Yves Rocher's lavender water at the recommendation of friends in modern times.

  That flavor... was so strong that it left a lifelong impression on her.

  Ye Yun got up early as usual that day and changed her clothes. She saw someone lying on the couch outside.

  He didn't go today?

  Ye Yun gently pulled open the thin curtain that separated her from the outside.

  A white shirt was found hanging down from one corner, and Ling Feng surprisingly slept with his clothes on without even covering himself with a quilt.

  Ye Yun quietly retreated and took out a thin quilt from the closet.

  It's the coldest at dawn, and if you don't cover yourself with a quilt, you'll inevitably catch a cold.

  Ye Yun walked into the outer room, spread out the quilt, and was about to cover Ling Feng with it when her eyes were drawn to the man who had fallen asleep carelessly on top of it.

  His black long hair was scattered at will, covering half of his profile, and his tender white skin looked exceptionally beautiful under the reflection of his black hair.

  Long eyelashes are clearly separated, thin lips are rosy and charming.

  This defenseless sleeping face makes one's imagination run wild.

  I really want to... pounce on you!

  Ye Yun swallowed hard and warned herself to calm down!

  Although a beauty is right in front of you, she must also learn from Liu Xiaohui and remain calm and unruffled.

  Ye Yun made an effort to turn her head away, not looking at him, holding a quilt in her hand, gently and quietly covering him with it.

  Just breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked, huh? How did she just cover him with a quilt corner?

  Enduring not to look at Ling Feng's face, Ye Yun once again picked up the quilt and tidied it for him.

  Just as I finished tidying up and was about to stand up, my wrist suddenly tightened and my body was violently pulled.

  Before Ye Yun could react, she was already lying inside the bed, face to face with Ling Feng.

  Ling Feng's eyes shone with a hint of smile, as if there was light in them, sparkling and captivating.

  Ye Yun puffed out her cheeks, furrowed her eyebrows and huffily accused: "You're faking sleep!"

  "Who dares. I was sleeping lightly anyway. You covered me with a quilt and I woke up." Ling Feng's hands were tied around Ye Yun's waist, making her unable to move, "What time is it now? Why did you get up so early?"

  "I'm used to getting up early..." How did he feel like he was getting closer and closer? Ye Yun wanted to back away, but the force on her waist was too strong, she couldn't retreat at all, so she could only use both hands to push against his chest. "Uh... you still want to sleep? Then I won't disturb you."

  "It's okay. Sleep with me for a while." Ling Feng leaned in close to Ye Yun, resting his head on her neck.

  "What? I'm not sleeping. I just woke up, you sleep." Ye Yun hurriedly struggled to get up.

  But Ling Feng grasped her hand with a very skilled technique, making it impossible for her to move.

  Before long, a gentle and steady breathing sound was heard beside his ear.

  He really fell asleep? Ye Yun was helpless.

  She was pressed tightly against him, her heart beating inexplicably fast.

  Ling Feng's body had a faint scent of lavender on it, ever since she last let him smell the fragrance of lavender, he had been carrying this scent with him, seemingly due to the lingering aroma.

  Ye Yun gradually felt a bit tired and sleepy, and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard the sound of light knocking on the door.

  Ye Yun opened her eyes and looked at Ling Feng, his eyes were tightly closed, seemingly undisturbed.

  She tried to pry open his fingers, but couldn't no matter what.

  How annoying! They're all asleep, can't they just relax a bit?

  The knock at the door sounded again, this time a little louder.

  Unable to move, Ye Yun was also helpless and could only lie down and respond with a faint voice.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Madam, there's a young lady looking for you outside." Xing Er replied from outside. She also found it somewhat strange that at this time of day, the madam should have already risen, so why was she still not up today?

  "Miss?" Ye Yun looked at Ling Feng again, he still had his eyes closed, but his breathing was no longer so steady, Ye Yun knew he was awake. "Did she say who she is?"

  "It's... Miss Shiman."

  Ling Feng opened his eyes and coincidentally met Ye Yun's gaze.

  "Is it Xi Man?" After all these days, the person she came looking for was actually her? And not Ling Feng?

  "Has she got the wrong person?" This sentence was said by Ye Yun to Ling Feng.

  "You can't see her," Ling Feng said.

  Yeyun's lips slightly parted, "How can I not see? Aren't you curious about her purpose in finding me?"

  Ling Feng furrowed his brow, "Then I'll go with you."

  "No way! If you go, I won't be able to get any answers out of him." Ye Yun pried open Ling Feng's fingers that were wrapped around her waist. "I'll go and come right back. You sleep a bit more."

  Ling Feng propped himself up on his elbows, looking at Ye Yun as she jumped down from the couch, "Why do you look so happy?"

  "Recently, life has been quite dull. Your ex suddenly came to the door, just in time to liven things up for me. Besides, my current partner isn't exactly legitimate, so it's interesting to see what her purpose is in coming to find me." Ye Yun smiled slightly and put on a coat before walking out.

  Xing'er had been waiting outside the door and let out a sigh of relief when Ye Yun came out. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ye Yun stretch out her hand and make a silencing gesture.

  "The master of the house has just fallen asleep, don't wake him up." Ye Yun said softly.

  Xing'er nodded and followed Ye Yun for a few steps before speaking again: "I didn't know the master had returned. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to disturb Master and Mistress."

  No wonder it took Mrs. so long to come out, it turns out that the host has returned.

  "When there are guests at the door, you call me and it's what I should do." Ye Yun glanced at Xing Er and saw that her eyes flickered, as if she had something to say. "Xing Er, if you have anything to say, just say it."

  "Madam," Xing'er hesitated for a moment, "Madam, please forgive Xing'er for speaking out of turn."
