Lin Qingyuan was shocked and quickly backed away. However, she tripped on the leg of a table and fell backward.
Long Xuan quickly reached out to catch her. "Why are you so clumsy? You keep falling over at every turn!"
"I wouldn't have if it wasn't for you," Lin Qingyuan mumbled in retort as she patted her chest.
"Fine, this is all my fault, alright?" Long Xuan replied with slight exasperation.
"It is your fault," Lin Qingyuan said indignantly.
Long Xuan massaged the spot between his eyes and looked at her. "Now can we go to sleep?"
Lin Qingyuan realized what he was saying and she tried to push him away. However, he suddenly bent over and lifted her in his arms.
The expression on Lin Qingyuan's face changed and she shoved her palms against his chest. "What are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing?" Long Xuan raised an eyebrow, walked toward the bed, and flung her onto it.
Lin Qingyuan tried to get up again when Long Xuan pressed himself onto her.

She glared at him nervously. "Don't you dare do anything!"
Long Xuan grabbed her hands and pressed them in place above her head. A small smile appeared on his lips as he looked at her without saying a word.
Lin Qingyuan thought he had changed his mind, but then the rascal swiftly took action.
She screamed and reached out to punch him.
However, it was not long before she ran out of stamina.
Long Xuan's lips went close to her ear and he spoke in a low voice, "That was quite a struggle. I can tell that your body has already recuperated."
Lin Qingyuan did not catch the drift of his words. As she tried to make sense of them, she suddenly heard his husky voice saying, "Let me check your body."
"What is there to check? You're not a physician!" she replied immediately.
Long Xuan gave a low laugh and said wickedly, "I'm better than a physician. I can guarantee you'll be treated thoroughly."
"You're the one that needs treating. You're the one who's sick!" Lin Qingyuan punched him in anger.
"I am sick, and you're the only one who can cure me…" Long Xuan said ambiguously.
Lin Qingyuan was taken aback. "What sickness do you have?"
Long Xuan gave her a look and a smile twinkled in his dark eyes.
He suddenly realized that it was quite fun to tease her even if he did nothing else.
His body pressed closer to hers and he lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
Even if Lin Qingyuan was slow on the uptake, even she could now understand what his 'sickness' was.
Fire immediately burned inside her.
This particular treatment took them the entire night.
Lin Qingyuan did not even know when she fell asleep.
By the time she had woken up, it was already daylight. She had overslept again.
She was alone in bed. If not for the fact that Long Xuan's scent was still lingering in the air, she would have thought that she had dreamt the last night.

That was until Bai He knocked on the door.
"Are you awake, Miss? Madam is waiting for you to have breakfast together."
Lin Qingyuan immediately got up when she heard this.
However, she was aching all over and this made her want to lose her temper with a particular someone.
That rascal, Long Xuan!
The thought of his recent tenderness followed by the memory of him acting like a beast last night made her suddenly feel that he was treating her well only because he wanted to have her in bed!
This thought made her a little unhappy.
Was Long Xuan acting so gentle toward her because this was his ultimate goal?
Bai He came in with a basin of water to wash her face when she heard Lin Qingyuan getting up.
She had expected she would see her mistress looking happy. To her surprise, Lin Qingyuan was sitting gloomily the moment she walked in.
"M…Miss…" Bai He was shocked. She could not understand what had happened to her mistress.
