Villain Lady - Chapter 348

The sunlight entered the room through the window. Wei Liuying blinked her eyelids, adjusting her eyes to the new light. She felt tired and sore as if she had just finished the hellish training that Prince Ji Sheng designed without any preparation.

She raised her head and saw Yang Xian’s handsome face. From up close, she noticed that his eyelashes were long. His defenseless expression looked cute. She had never seen him sleeping so soundly like this before. The last time, he was wounded and not in this peaceful situation.

“How long do you want to look at my face?” Yang Xian asked with a low grunt. He had woken up but felt her stares at him, so he didn’t know how to greet her in this situation. Opening his eyes, he could see Wei Liuying lying next to him with her face close to him. Suddenly, he felt his throat dry.

Wei Liuying chuckled. “I’m just admiring my husband’s face.”

Yang Xian arched his eyebrows and pulled Wei Liuying closer. “Are you trying to tempt me, Little Devil?”

“If you don’t want to be punished by His Highness because you’re late, you can stay here, Xian,” Wei Liuying reminded him. Even though they had just gotten married, there were still a lot of work that they had to do.

The sentence made Yang Xian stopped his action. Right, he still had to review the battle report and arrange the reinforcement when needed. If he was not wrong, there was currently some skirmish at the east side, so they were asked for reinforcement not long ago. But since it was not really under Prince Ji Sheng’s territory, they couldn’t meddle too much.

Groaning lightly, Yang Xian stole a peck on Wei Liuying’s lips and walked out. He looked at the sun’s position as he picked his robe. “It’s still early, you can rest more. I’m sure that His Highness will not mind if you’re late today.”

Wei Liuying was still working as Prince Ji Sheng’s strategist along with Yang Xian. Her work was mainly to help out in the city now that the battles were not as much as before, but it didn’t mean that she could just take days off as she wished.

Though, she really wanted some more sleep.

“In that case, please tell His Highness that thanks to a certain black bellied strategist, his other strategist can’t move from bed.”

Yang Xian was speechless. He was sure that Prince Ji Sheng would kill him for flaunting his love life if he did say like what Wei Liuying did. Shaking his head, Yang Xian headed to the bathroom to wash himself.

On the other hand, Wei Liuying was still lying on the bed and covered herself with the blanket once more. After adjusting herself to the most comfortable position, Wei Liuying drifted to sleep once more.

When Yang Xian walked out of the bathroom, he found out that his little wife had slept again. He chuckled then took out a bamboo strip to write a message for Wei Liuying before making breakfast. Afterwards, he headed to Prince Ji Sheng’s Residence.

In Prince Ji Sheng’s Residence, Prince Ji Sheng was already staying in his work room when Yang Xian came.

“You’re early today,” Yang Xian commented.

“Since someone said that I have to be prepared to work hard, shouldn’t I come even earlier?” Prince Ji Sheng smiled.

Yang Xian clicked his tongue. “The problem here is not just war, Your Highness. We need to establish temporary distribution line for the new farmer who had just settled down. They won’t be able to generate profitable result in short period of time.”

“You can settle it yourself.”

“Your Highness, don’t run from your work.”

In the end, Prince Ji Sheng was forced to review all the work that they left yesterday because of Yang Xian’s marriage. There were no urgent matters, but all of these had to be addressed.

It was way past lunch time when Wei Liuying came to the work room.

“Your Highness,” Wei Liuying greeted. She was dressed in normal woman’s dress. After revealing her real gender, she had no intention of wearing male robes anymore. It was more comfortable for her to use the proper dress for women.

Prince Ji Sheng raised his head and nodded. “I hope you have good rest, Liuying.”

“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I’m fine.” Wei Liuying smiled. She woke up not long after Yang Xian left but purposely didn’t come here directly. There were some things that she needed to do according to the message that Yang Xian had left her.

Yang Xian looked at Wei Liuying. “If you want to, you can rest more.”

“I’m fine.”

“But…”

“However, I would suggest Your Highness to increase Yang Xian’s physical training. He has too much stamina,” Wei Liuying added with a sly smile.

Hearing that, Yang Xian was speechless. He should have known that he wouldn’t be able to use normal means that Shi Yan told him to deal with Wei Liuying. “Does that mean you’re satisfied with my performance, Liuying?”

Wei Liuying arched her eyebrows. “It’s good, but I would die if I have to keep up with your pace.”

“Don’t worry, I can adjust if you want.”

Prince Ji Sheng’s expression darkened as he listened to these two talking. Their expression was still as composed as ever, but the content of their words were clearly flirting. He felt that his strategists were giving him the lesson for making them watched him and Gao Ling’s flirt so much in the past.

These two really bore grudges, ah!

Even though it was against the rule, Prince Ji Sheng was not one to care about it nor Yang Xian cared that much. Because of their friendship, it was clear that at times, Yang Xian could act as insolent as he wanted without offending Prince Ji Sheng.

Not wanting to be the third wheel any longer, Prince Ji Sheng quickly told Yang Xian to have lunch break. Afterwards, he quickly left to meet with his wife to ease his wounded heart.

“You didn’t have lunch yet?” Wei Liuying asked.

Yang Xian shook his head. “I was too busy keeping His Highness with the work we left yesterday. There are still some matters that need to be addressed.”

“Let’s buy some food then, I heard that there’s new restaurant that Xiao Qing opened not far from here,” Wei Liuying suggested. Just a few weeks ago, Xiao Qing told her that she wanted to open a restaurant after accumulating enough money. She helped the latter to obtain a good place not long ago.

“That’ll be a good idea.” Yang Xian walked by Wei Liuying’s side and then smiled lightly. “Have you done the task that I asked?”

“Of course.” Wei Liuying grinned. “I’m sure later Shi Yan and Shan Yi will come running after you and ask you to help them.”

“Good girl.”

“I want a reward.”

“Yes?”

Wei Liuying reached her hand to his shoulder to pull him closer and tiptoed, kissing Yang Xian’s cheek. Seeing his stunned face, she smiled happily. “Let’s go and eat.”

Yang Xian looked at his little wife and leaned in to give her another kiss. There were no servants around because no one would dare to pass through this area near Prince Ji Sheng’s work room. Even if there were any, he would not care because they were already lawfully wedded husband and wife.

After the light kiss, he moved his face away and saw Wei Liuying’s cheek reddened a bit. But it didn’t seem that she disliked it, so the smile on Yang Xian’s face widened.

He caressed her head tenderly, feeling that he was truly the happiest man in the world. Hopefully, everyday would be as peaceful as today.

It was all that he hoped.
