Villain Lady - Chapter 347

“Why are you staring at my face?” Wei Liuying asked, feeling that her own face had heated up a bit. They had already looked at each other a lot in the past, but this was the first time Yang Xian had ever stared so intensely at her face. Did he find her look bad with this makeup?

Yang Xian quickly pulled himself back to reality. He forced a smile on his face and scratched his cheek. “You’re too beautiful. I don’t know where to look.”

This time, it was Wei Liuying’s turn to be speechless. With her cheek turned redder, she pursed her lips and tried to stay calm. “For someone who’s usually good at his words, you’re so bad today.”

Yang Xian: “…” I was caught unprepared, okay?

He never dared to look at her for so long because he was worried that she would catch him. In the past, he had always thought that Wei Liuying was beautiful, the most enchanting woman in his eyes. However, he would not dare to stare at her for a long time because it would be rude.

But seeing her face right in front of him today, he just couldn’t help himself. She looked so perfect that he wanted to hold her and never let her go forever.

“Cough, anyway, I have something for you.”

“What is it?” Wei Liuying asked. She shifted her body position. Even though she had learned martial arts, having to stay in the same position for hours would surely be very uncomfortable.

Yang Xian walked to the drawer and took out a key along with a box. He returned back with the two of them. “I don’t have many things in my possession, but from now on, you’ll be the one taking care of it.”

Having the key placed on her palm, Wei Liuying looked at the box that Yang Xian placed not far from her. She had seen this box before and knew that Yang Xian put everything he deemed important for himself in this box. As for the work that he had, he left it all in Prince Ji Sheng’s Residence because his house was often left unattended.

Wei Liuying looked at Yang Xian with uncertain expression. “Are you sure?”

From what she knew, while a man would give most of the possession to his wife to manage, they would usually keep some secret stash. In fact, Wei Liuying knew that her father had kept a lot of money by himself and didn’t let his wives and concubines touch it.

As for where it came from, she was not interested to find out back then.

Yang Xian nodded. “If not you, who else should I give it? Besides, you’re already the one who manage the money all this time.”

To be exact, since the time Wei Liuying lived in his house. It would be a hassle to keep their spending separated because they ate together, so Yang Xian simply handed Wei Liuying most of his own money so that she would be able to buy ingredients for their meal. He only kept some for daily use.

Wei Liuying was stunned then laughed lightly. “You’re correct.”

Seeing her laugh, Yang Xian also smiled. He always liked her smile more than when she looked so serious.

“Right, let me get something for you to eat first. It hasn’t been easy for you.”

“I already eat.” Wei Liuying smiled mischievously. Of course, when they left her here alone, she had sneaked out and made porridge for herself. There was no way she would let herself suffer for a long time.

Yang Xian laughed then tapped the box. “Aren’t you curious about what’s inside?”

“You sure can read me even when I show nothing.”

“I can say the same to you.”

There were times when words were not needed, but sometimes, mentioning it didn’t feel that bad either. Of course, the two of them were only adjusting to the most comfortable situation.

Using the key, Wei Liuying opened the box. There were several silvers inside along with several bamboo scrolls. Besides those, there was a dagger that looked fairly old, yet the edge still reflected light.

“This is…?”

“It’s the dagger I used back when I was a kid,” Yang Xian explained. “My Father gave it to me just a few days before the soldiers reach our city and since then, I always used it to protect myself until I met with His Highness and learn how to use swords. I don’t want to throw it away even though it didn’t worth much.”

“I see.”

Taking the dagger, Wei Liuying could see that it was well made. There was also sign that the dagger was used so many times in the past that it was no longer as sharp as before. Just from this, Wei Liuying could tell that Yang Xian’s life was not easy in the past.

Yang Xian didn’t stop Wei Liuying and moved to her back. Gao Ling’s servants were the one who made her hair today and used some hairpins to tie it up. He looked at the decoration for a moment before pulling one out.

Her long and silky hair fell onto his hand. After not maintaining the length anymore, Wei Liuying’s hair had grown much longer. Back when she was in Wei Family Residence, she always made sure that her hair was not that long because it would hinder her movement when she pretended to be Wei Hong Zheng.

But it was no longer necessary here.

Wei Liuying turned her head around and arched her eyebrows. “You’re still good at women’s hairstyle?”

“Yan taught me,” Yang Xian immediately shifted all the blame to Shi Yan. Even Wei Liuying knew how much Shi Yan spent his time in the brothel for his business deal, so it was not weird that he also learned other skills.

“I know that much.”

“Do you doubt me?”

“No.” Wei Liuying chuckled. She put the dagger back into the box and locked it again. She handed the box back to Yang Xian. “Keep it for tonight. I don’t know where to put it yet.”

“Alright.”

Wei Liuying watched as Yang Xian put back the box inside the drawer. She laid down on the bed with a lazy posture. “With your brain, it’s not hard for you to get any girl you want. But since you stick to me and tried to keep me stay with many methods, should I be worried?”

Yang Xian narrowed his eyes. It seemed that she had found out some other means he had kept secret. Tsk, he had to put his guard up more around her if he didn’t want her to find out. Though, he highly doubted that it would be possible.

Plop!

Sitting on the bed, Yang Xian pulled Wei Liuying to his embrace. She pursed her lips as she was already comfortable in that position. “The night is not over, Ying’er. There’s still a duty that we need to fulfill.”

Wei Liuying put both of her hands on Yang Xian’s shoulder and smiled provokingly. “Then can you prove to me that my decision to choose you is not wrong?”

Yang Xian arched his eyebrows. No man would want to have his ability doubted. He leaned his hand while pushing Wei Liuying’s head closer as he locked his lips with hers. Flames of desire was ignited as he tasted her soft lips.

The long night had begun.
