However, the both of them really didn’t look good with their bodies drenched. So many people in the courtyard had seen their naked bodies, and Xia Jingtian’s face darkened.

The servants quickly brought clean clothes for them to wear. The two of them glared angrily in Xia Muqing’s direction, but they didn’t have the dignity to stay any longer. They wanted to disappear right away.

Xia Churan spotted Ye Qingxuan and a thought struck her. She suddenly walked to him and bowed. “Your Highness, everything happened too suddenly today. Please allow me to take my leave.”

Ye Qingxuan was puzzled but he still nodded casually.

The moment Xia Churan turned around, she suddenly slipped and fell towards Ye Qingxuan. Her clothes slipped off her body as she was drenched. Her pink undergarment was visible.

Ye Qingxuan moved agilely and didn’t forget to pull Xia Muqing along with him.

After the two of them moved away, Xia Churan fell to the ground. She cried out in pain as her face was scratched by the stones on the ground.

She touched the wounds on her face and she screamed in panic. At this moment, she didn’t look as graceful as before. She was baring her teeth and looking like a lunatic.

Ruan Yu had already left. At this time, no one cared about her. In the end, Xia Jingtian couldn’t bear to watch any longer and yelled for a servant to escort her away.

Xia Jingtian couldn’t stay any longer after embarrassing himself so much in front of Ye Qingxuan today. He hurriedly excused himself.

“Muqing, entertain His Highness well. I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After he left, Xia Muqing said, “Your Highness, you didn’t come to the Xia residence just for a meal, right?”

This was also what she couldn’t figure out. Why was Ye Qingxuan here today?

Ye Qingxuan chuckled and slowly bent towards Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing retreated. She felt that Ye Qingxuan was a little dangerous right now. She took a step back and Ye Qingxuan mimicked her.

Coincidentally, there was a tree behind her, and she had nowhere to retreat to. She could only press her hands on his chest and she hissed angrily, “What do you want to do?”

“You.” Ye Qingxuan had trapped her between him and the giant tree.

Xia Muqing didn’t realize what he meant initially. When she understood, her face heated up.

Why was this wretched man so shameless?

She used all her strength to attack Ye Qingxuan’s neck with her hand. It was obvious how furious she was.

Ye Qingxuan tilted his head slightly and extended a hand to easily block her attack. After that, he sighed and said, “What were you thinking about? Let me finish.”

“I just wanted to say that I want you to go to the snow mountain with me to look for the snow lotus.”

Xia Muqing was stunned. Firstly, she was surprised that he could withstand her attack so easily with his strength. Secondly, she finally remembered that there was still residual poison in Ye Qingxuan’s body that she had yet to detoxify. He needed the snow lotus to remove the poison.

“Is that why you said you wanted to marry me?”

Ye Qingxuan smiled. “Of course not. I do like you.”

Xia Muqing sneered. She didn’t believe him and assumed that he had approached her because of the snow lotus. She heaved a sigh of relief because she knew his intention.

Ye Qingxuan approached her again. When he lowered his head, the two of them almost touched each other’s faces. Their breaths intertwined and the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Xia Muqing was about to speak when she felt a weight on her neck. Ye Qingxuan had already left her and said, “I noticed that you liked this the last time, so I’ll give it to you. Remember, this is for you. Do not take it off or lose it.”

With that, he left the residence and left quickly, as if he had come to the Xia residence today to deliver this jade pendant to her.
