章 5: The Two of Them Testing Each Other
編集者: Henyee Translations
"Come in or be sent away, Ye Ningxuan," Zhan Hanjue urged from the bathroom again.
Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.
However, the moment she entered, she closed her eyes so that she wouldn't see anything strange that would easily give her needle marks.
"Ah."
Suddenly, hot water sprayed at her. Ye Ningxuan screamed and had no choice but to open her eyes.
Fortunately, she didn't see the strange thing. A towel that covered important areas was already wrapped around his waist, revealing a firm eight-pack.
But he was holding the shower head in his hand, and it kept spraying water at her.
Ye Ningxuan quickly dodged and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to the showerhead?"
"The showerhead is broken. Come and help me turn it off. I can't see. I can't find the location." Zhan Hanjue held the shower, his face slightly gloomy.
Perhaps it was also the first time he had encountered such a thing. Zhan Hanjue seemed to be in a bad mood.
Ye Ningxuan quickly wiped the water off her face and walked around to help him turn off the shower.
With the switch off, the shower stopped spraying.
Zhan Hanjue relaxed and reached for the wall next to him again.
However, Ye Ningxuan happened to be standing at the side. He pressed one hand on her face. With a grab, the fake skin on her face curled up.
"Don't stand in my way," Zhan Hanjue said icily.
Ye Ningxuan made way, still unaware of the change in her face. She watched as he walked out of the bathroom and followed.
Zhan Hanjue calmly went to the closet to take out his pajamas. Without looking back, he said to Ye Ningxuan, who was behind him, "What? Do you want to see me change?"
"Of course not." Ye Ningxuan turned around immediately.
"In that case," Zhan Hanjue ordered, "Why don't you take a shower in the bathroom and come warm my bed later?"
Ye Ningxuan was speechless.
He was actually asking her to warm his bed?
Like he was the Emperor himself?
Unfortunately, the royal family was wiped out during the Qing Dynasty.
She could not be bothered to argue with such a temperamental person. She would go and take a shower first. If he really dared to do anything to her later, then he could not blame her for being rude.
With this thought in mind, Ye Ningxuan walked into the bathroom calmly. However, when she looked in the bathroom mirror, she realized that the fake skin on her face had curled up.
She quickly pressed it with her hand while frowning to herself. When had it curled up?
Yes, Zhan Hanjue had scratched her face just now. She had not paid attention at the time. Could it have been that?
If so, the damage to the shower could have been faked. He'd taken the opportunity to test her.
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Ye Ningxuan simply peeled off the fake skin on her face.
She wanted to see if he was really blind or lying.
After taking a shower, Ye Ningxuan walked out.
At this moment, her cheeks were as smooth and fair as before. Her eyebrows were willowy, her lips were rosy, and her face was still misty from the shower. She was as mesmerizing as a lotus flower.
She walked straight up to Zhan Hanjue and held his gaze, trying to discern the change in it.
Unfortunately, Zhan Hanjue's eyes were blank. It was impossible to see any change.
"I used to learn medicine in the countryside. I'll take your pulse. Maybe there's a way to treat your eyes," Ye Ningxuan said, pretending to take his pulse.
However, Zhan Hanjue quickly dodged and said in a low voice, "Since you know medicine, you should think of a way to treat your face first so that you don't embarrass the Zhan family."
"Isn't my face very good?" Ye Ningxuan asked deliberately.
Zhan Hanjue reached out to touch her face. Ye Ningxuan immediately moved away.
"If it's good, why are you afraid to let me touch it?" Zhan Hanjue asked in a low voice.
Ye Ningxuan bit her lip and took out a silver needle. She suddenly approached Zhan Hanjue and seemed to want to kiss him.
Zhan Hanjue felt the heat approaching and frowned slightly. He leaned back involuntarily and hissed, "What are you doing leaning over?"
"On our wedding night, of course I'm fulfilling my duty as Mrs. Zhan." Ye Ningxuan's voice was charming.
Zhan Hanjue's face hardened. "No. Go away."
"That won't do. Old Madam Zhan will be furious when she finds out."
Ye Ningxuan leaned forward and reached out to touch his face.
However, while he was flustered, she took the opportunity to stab a needle into his acupoint and watched him fall onto the bed with his eyes closed.
"If you don't want me to take your pulse, I'll take it. I want to see if your blindness is real."
Ye Ningxuan snorted and put her hand on his pulse.
