Chapter 222 Hot Spring

Chapter 222 Hot Spring

It turns out this whole thing is about Mo Lanxing.

He held Shen Nanzi's waist tightly, his eyes gazing indifferently at Xie Yan.

The fire of jealousy in his eyes burned fiercely.

It seems he only knew that she went to see Mo Lanxing, but didn't know what they talked about.

"Yes, we met once."

Seeing that she spoke so casually and showed no intention of sharing with him, Xie Yan's eyes turned red with anger.

During the meal, he told her about the affairs of the court, afraid that they would run out of things to say.

She went out today and didn't mention it at all.

He had been waiting, waiting for her to speak, his heart feeling like it was stuffed with cotton.

Why go in person?

His arms were strong and powerful, and their waists were pressed together without any gap. His eyes were filled with jealousy and suspicion.

“Just having some free time.” Shen Nanzi leaned back.

"Nothing much to do?" Xie Yan chuckled, a hint of unreasonable jealousy in his voice. "Didn't I already change the rules? You can go to the front hall whenever you want."

"If you want to participate in politics, let Cheng'er make the changes."

"Can't you come visit us when you have nothing better to do? Why go see some insignificant man?!"

The word "man!" was spoken with extreme emphasis.

Shen Nanzi looked at him and sighed softly, as if she were seeing her former self.

She would question him, "Which woman this time?"

Seeing Xie Yan like this, she should be happy, but why isn't she happy?

Seeing the indifference in Shen Nanzi's eyes, Xie Yan felt a tightness in his chest.

I wonder if my tone was a bit too harsh, or if it wasn't gentle enough.

She no longer likes him; if it weren't for Cheng'er, she would have abandoned him long ago.

You can't be mean to her, or she'll push you away without a second thought.

Just as she calmed down, she remembered how Ye Shuyin had made a move on her when she was in Fangshuo.

Xie Yan's anger flared up again, and jealousy made him lose his mind.

Not daring to be harsh with her, he could only complain in a wronged tone, "I know he's good-looking, and you like good-looking people."

“Look at me,” he said, taking her hand and placing it on his chest.

Shen Nanzi turned her face away, "Yours... it's not like I haven't touched it before?"

It's covered in scratches and uneven surfaces.

Shen Nanzi's words made Xie Yan even angrier, "So, you want to touch someone else's?"

Jealousy filled him with unease. "Did you touch Ye Shuyin's?"

This was the most embarrassing question he had been harboring doubts for a long time, a question he had kept hidden deep in his heart.

Whenever he thought about this, he felt an urge to sweep away all obstacles.

At that time, he stood guard outside the house, and every night he had countless thoughts of breaking down the door.

However, fearing it would disrupt their plans, they held back.

Xie Yan had never hated himself so much for leaving his wife and children to fend for themselves alone in a foreign land.

She also relies on other men.

Shen Nanzi shook her head, "He wanted me to touch him, but I didn't."

Xie Yan didn't know whether to be sad or happy, or whether she was telling the truth or lying. Jealousy made him irritably bite her lip.

She tried to push him away, but his hand pressed against her neck, as if only by being glued to her could he quell the jealousy in his heart.

The thought of her meeting with Mo Lanxing today made him extremely agitated.

Seeing Mo Lanxing reminds Xie Yan of Ye Shuyin, who is another thorn in Xie Yan's side.

His kisses were as fierce as a wolf's, leaving Shen Nanzi dizzy and disoriented.

As she gasped for air, she was about to kick him away when he anticipated her anger and pulled her into the hot spring with him.

The small hot spring pool was instantly rippled with thousands of waves.

Shen Nanzi's body was instantly surrounded by warm water, and her graceful figure was instantly revealed.

Her outer garment had been removed by Xie Yan at some point, revealing a garment underneath that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

Xie Yan hugged her and said angrily, "You can't go to see Mo Lanxing alone anymore."

Shen Nanzi, oblivious to the danger, casually refused, "No."

Why should her actions be restricted by him? The thirteen border kingdoms are all places that Cheng'er will have to guard against in the future.

She has a status in other foreign lands, and if there is any trouble, she will go there alone.

"No?" Xie Yan tore through her resistance.

Shen Nanzi heard the sound of tearing fabric, "Why are you tearing it?"

"You're such a troublemaker!" he said, letting out a muffled groan.

Shen Nanzi punched him on the shoulder, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.

After the initial discomfort subsided, Shen Nanzi bit his shoulder, "If you... I'll bite you to death."

"I'd rather die than be driven to my death by you."

He struggled, walked forward, supported her, straightened her shoulders, pressed his forehead against hers, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm jealous, Shen Nanzi."

Shen Nanzi's eyelashes trembled slightly, her mind went blank, a flash of light passed through her, and she didn't hear his words at all, only the feeling of surviving a disaster remained.

Since what he said last night, he has been very gentle and accommodating to her feelings. After the pain and suffering, he actually let her experience some pleasure.

The storybooks are right; this can indeed be a source of pleasure.

Xie Yan cupped her face and kissed her, "Shen Nanzi, shall I call you Nanzi from now on?"

"Whatever you want." Shen Nanzi was dazed from the kiss, the water in the hot spring was hot, and there seemed to be not enough air.

Xie Yan was angered by her perfunctory attitude again and stood up once more. "What do you mean by 'whatever'? Think about it carefully."

Shen Nanzi was soaking in water and felt very comfortable, so she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Shen Nanzi always managed to stir up his emotions at will.

It was then, and it is now.

Looking at Shen Nanzi in his arms, he softened his tone, but still pressed her for an answer, unwilling to give up. "What were you doing on Mo Lan Star?"

Speaking of Mo Lanxing's plea, Shen Nanzi snorted and put her hand on his shoulder: "He's got his eye on Cheng'er and wants to marry Fang Shuo's two princesses to Cheng'er."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan's mood instantly improved. He picked her up, walked out of the hot spring, and went to a bench nearby.

He leaned down and, once again, gently refused in her ear: "No, Cheng'er is only seven years old. We can't arrange a marriage too early."

Shen Nanzi leaned against the bench, bearing the pressure.

Knowing that Xie Yan had considered things thoroughly, it was not appropriate to appoint an empress before the woman reached adulthood.

Moreover, the choice of empress is of paramount importance.

Shen Nanzi suppressed her emotions, and only after another moment did she speak slowly: "I didn't agree. Moreover, regarding the matter of a partner, let Cheng'er make his own decision when he grows up."

"Both parties in a mismatched couple suffer."

Xie Yan looked at her, knowing she was afraid Cheng'er would follow in their footsteps. He hugged her and gently comforted her, "I'm sorry, Shen Nanzi."

"I promised to bring those two little princesses to Yunhan." Shen Nanzi thought about her grudge against the two children's mother. "They can't be raised in the palace."

Xie Yan: "Of course we can't raise them in the palace; let Mo Lanxing raise them herself."

In the hot spring, after the silence, there was a rare harmony.

General Zhao led the army of Prince Cheng to reinforce Prince Qi.

Luoyang City was restored to peace.

War is not something that can be fought overnight, so let's take advantage of the relatively peaceful times we have now.

Shen Nanzi was thinking of finding a wife for Lie Feng, so she asked her aunt for his opinion.

I don't know how his great-aunt persuaded him, but he agreed.

Shen Nanzi seemed to have something to do and immediately got to work.
