Chapter 748: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (23)

Yu Yan was sleeping in a daze, and she felt something strange around her, as if there were slight footsteps slowly approaching her.

She remained alert, quietly reached under the pillow and grabbed the dagger hidden there.

However, as the man got closer, she keenly caught a familiar scent of pine and cypress.

The unique smell made her immediately realize who the visitor was, so she silently put down the dagger in her hand and decided to continue pretending to be asleep.

Hua Yanliang walked silently to Yu Yan's bedside. His eyes never left her for a moment. He stared at her face quietly but said no word.

Time passed by minute by minute. Yu Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened her eyes first. She asked with a little surprise: "What are you doing standing by my bed? And what's wrong with your face..."

Her words were suddenly interrupted because she saw Hua Yanliang's slightly swollen cheek.

The second half of the sentence she was about to say was swallowed back. She quickly sat up, reached out to hold Hua Yanliang, asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, and then moved closer to observe his face carefully.

Hua Yanliang obediently followed her instructions, sat down nicely, and let her look at him.

He explained softly, “My grandmother misunderstood me and slapped me.”

There was a hint of grievance in his voice, as if he was a young wife who had been bullied.

Seeing him like this, Yu Yan's heart softened and her voice softened as she asked softly, "What did your grandmother misunderstand about you?"

Hua Yanliang lowered his head slightly, sighed helplessly, and then slowly said: "Grandmother thought that there was an affair between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I. Now that I asked the Emperor to marry you, she misunderstood my intentions and called me to the ancestral hall to scold me severely."

As he spoke, Hua Yanliang gently grasped Yu Yan's hand, his tone becoming more aggrieved, "Yan Yan, I have suffered such a great injustice today, you must compensate me well."

Yu Yan raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and asked with a half-smile: "Oh? How do you want to compensate me?"

The tips of Hua Yanliang's ears turned red and his lips moved, but no sound came out.

Seeing this, Yu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, took the initiative to move closer to him, pecked the corner of his mouth, then blinked and asked, "Is this enough?"

The tips of Hua Yanliang's ears instantly turned red, and his face also flushed. His eyes flickered, as if he wanted more, so he asked, "Yan Yan, can we get married sooner?"

Yu Yan looked at him and saw the expectant look in his eyes. Her heart softened and she couldn't bear to refuse him, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I will go talk to my father about this tomorrow."

When Hua Yanliang heard her words, he instantly felt happy and even felt that the slap from his grandmother was worth it.

However, his excitement only lasted for a few seconds, because he heard Yu Yan say, "It's very late now, go back to bed!"

There was a crisp "click" sound, as if something broke in Hua Yanliang's heart, and his heart full of expectation and joy instantly shattered into countless pieces.

However, he himself was also very clear that sneaking into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night was indeed inappropriate, so he suddenly had an idea, found an excuse, and said in a low voice: "...I haven't finished what I want to say yet!"

"Okay, then go ahead!"

Yu Yan lay on the bed again, her clear and moving eyes looking straight at him.

Seeing that Hua Yanliang remained silent, she continued, "How about you come up too?"

"This isn't good! You and I aren't married yet!"

Hua Yanliang tried to refuse, but the next moment, he took off his coat without hesitation and lay down next to Yu Yan in the blink of an eye.

The movements were so skillful, as if they had been rehearsed countless times, and they were extremely natural.

If he had been a second slower in getting into bed, Yu Yan would have believed that he really felt it was not good to get into her bed.

Yu Yan: "..."

A duplicitous man.

Hua Yanliang lay beside his sweetheart, his heart pounding as he smelled the faint scent of a woman's body.

He rolled his throat a few times, turned his head to look at Yu Yan, and said softly: "Yan Yan, let me coax you to sleep! When I was a child, my mother would tell me stories to coax me to sleep."

"okay."

Yu Yan closed her eyes.

Hua Yanliang looked at her face carefully inch by inch, his eyes filled with infinite love, and he recalled the stories his mother had told him when he was a child to put him to sleep.

He imitated his mother's tone at that time and told this bedtime story gently.

Time passed minute by minute, and Hua Yanliang's story came to an end.

He heard Yu Yan's steady breathing and looked at her quietly.

The moon rises above the branches, and love spreads silently in the night.

After a long time, he reluctantly kissed her on the forehead, then carefully got out of bed and left the room.
