"I was just making a casual remark... You shouldn't dwell on these messy thoughts."
Despite the fatigue from the journey, Cheng Yanqing was not at all tired. He inexplicably got the strength to pin Shen Lan down on the bed.
The place was intimate, close to nature; they could even hear the chirping of birds from outside.
Shen Lan breathed heavily, "Is this place safe?"
Stroking her tender cheeks, Cheng Yanqing nodded confidently, "Of course."
"Little lady, this is my territory... it's definitely safe."
Immediately after, their passions flared, and they did not fall asleep until midnight.
The environment was excellent. Shen Lan slept soundly, with none of the outside world's agitation disturbing her; she felt significantly tranquil.
When she woke up the next morning, there was additional food on the bedside table, and Cheng Yanqing came in, wearing an apron.
