The contours of Lord Fourth’s body were smooth and he gave off a manly aura.

Although this was not the first time Ruoyin had served Lord Fourth during a bath, she still felt nervous for no reason.

Maybe it was because this man always had a cold expression, and no one could grasp a sense of him.

At that moment, she acted as usual.

To not make herself nervous, she treated Lord Fourth like a vegetable. This way, she wouldn’t be as nervous as before.

However, even though she may be acting normally, Lord Fourth’s mood was very different this time around.

In the past, this woman’s body in front of him was still not completely healed. Therefore, Lord Fourth stayed still like a gentleman.

Now, not only had she recuperated her health, but she had also become increasingly pretty and full of life.

This time, Lord Fourth did not shut his eyes as he had done previously.

Instead, he opened his eyes and stared deeply at her with his mysterious gaze.

Ruoyin had not noticed that there was something wrong with Lord Fourth’s stare. Her head was down as she sat on the small wooden stool to scrub his back.

When she raised her head, she came face to face with Lord Fourth’s blunt stare. Her heart stopped for an instant.

She could see the thoughtful, wicked smile beneath those deep, dark eyes of his.

In the next moment, the man reached out and pulled her arm.

She lost her balance all of a sudden and let out a scream.

Then, her entire body fell into the tub with a splash.

Ruoyin flapped her arms a little before she realized that she was not sinking into the bottom of the tub.

Lord Fourth was hugging her horizontally as he examined her with his gaze.

The woman in his arms had clear, shiny eyes. Her eyebrows were curved and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Her cheeks were flaming red, and her eyes were distinctly filled with longing.

Lord Fourth was like any other man. With a beauty in his arms, he naturally ended up kissing her uncontrollably…

After an unknown amount of time, Ruoyin shyly leaned against Lord Fourth and into his embrace; she complained coquettishly before dozing off to sleep.

As he was looking at the unconscious lady in his arms, the man’s lips curved into a delightful smile. “Useless woman,” he secretly scolded as he carried her out of the bath and rested by her side.

The next day, Ruoyin was still unable to get up in the morning.

She really admired Lord Fourth. No matter what happened, he was able to wake himself up before dawn.

After washing up and changing into his robes, Lord Fourth walked to her bedside. Staring at the beautiful woman in front of him, he reached out and scraped the tip of her nose.

His action caused Ruoyin to stir awake.

Ruoyin wrinkled her nose and turned her body over casually.

She blinked her eyes open hazily. As she noticed Lord Fourth sitting by the bed, she sat up and said, “Let me serve my lord to wash up and change.”

“It’s alright, you should rest a bit more.” Lord Fourth held her shoulders and leaned her against his chest. “Stay in the residence, and if there’s anything you want, just ask someone to pass the word to the front courtyard. I will get someone to send it over.”

“What if there isn’t any in the household?” Ruoyin asked as she tugged at Lord Fourth’s sleeve.

“If we do not have it, then we’ll get someone to head out to buy it. If we can’t buy it, we will get someone to make it,” Lord Fourth said heroically.

Ruoyin was delighted, happy beyond recognition.

She needed to find an opportunity to head out for a moment as she had something important to settle.

Therefore, she shifted her gaze a little and drew in her lip as she smiled. “My lord is so kind. Consort Li told me yesterday that I should look for her if I needed anything. I even said to her that if there was something I needed, I would look for you instead. Why would I look for her? This is great, I can now seek you out.”

Yes, she had told him something in confidence without paying attention.

If not, Consort Li would continue to be too proud of herself and not take her seriously as the Fujin.

Sure enough, Lord Fourth’s eyebrows furrowed a little as he heard her words.

He lowered his head to see Ruoyin, who was as elated as a child. It didn’t seem as though she had brought up the issue with any specific intentions.
