His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

"Miss Mo, the City Lord has sent me to ask you whether you would like to have dinner in your room or in the front courtyard with the City Lord?"

A maid's voice came from the doorway.

"Bring it to the room."

Mo Sangyu replied.

I didn't sleep a wink last night, and today I've been up all day again, even killing someone with my spiritual power.

What she needs most right now is sleep.

After dinner, I need to go to bed early.

Outside the door, the maidservant responded and withdrew.

Before long, the food was delivered to the room.

The portion was quite large, enough for the two of them.

Mo Sangyu only felt relieved to eat the food after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Thank goodness you came, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

Upon hearing her words, Feng Xingyu silently curved his lips into a smile.

She could only sleep peacefully with him around, which showed that she truly trusted him completely.

"I'll stay by your side."

After finishing his meal, when the maid came in to clear the dishes, Feng Xingyu hid away temporarily.

He only came out again after the maid left.

Mo Sangyu walked to the bedside and reached out to untie the ties of her outer garment. When she looked up, she saw Feng Xingyu still standing there, his eyes behind the mask staring straight at her.

"What are you looking at?" She glared at him. "Turn around."

"oh."

Feng Xingyu obediently turned around immediately.

Mo Sangyu took off her outer robe, leaving only a thin, pure white inner garment, and slipped under the covers.

The soft bedding, with a faint fragrance, enveloped her completely.

There's only one bed in the room. Find somewhere to sleep tonight, but don't fall into a deep sleep.

"I'm not sleeping."

Feng Xingyu had his back to her, his voice low and steady: "I'll stay here and watch over you."

"as you like."

Mo Sangyu ignored him, drowsiness washed over her like a tide, and her eyelids quickly became heavy.

She turned over, found a comfortable position, and soon her breathing became even and long, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing her steady breathing, Feng Xingyu slowly turned around.

He walked to the bedside and looked down at the unguarded sleeping face under the covers.

The sharpness, cunning, and scheming of the daytime have faded.

At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, her long eyelashes cast small shadows under her eyes, her lips were light pink, and her cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush.

Quiet as a small animal that has retracted all its claws and curled up, it exudes an almost innocent and docile charm.

A corner of Feng Xingyu's heart suddenly softened.

He couldn't resist leaning down and placing a light, fleeting kiss on her cool cheek.

The movements were very gentle.

Mo Sangyu, seemingly sensing something in her sleep, furrowed her brow almost imperceptibly and mumbled, "Feng Xingyu... get out of here."

Feng Xingyu was taken aback at first, then the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

She was asleep, but she knew it was him... kissing her?

This realization made him feel extremely good.

He lowered his head again and kissed her smooth forehead.

His gaze lingered on her moist, slightly parted lips for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing.

In the end, it was only through sheer self-control that she managed to look away.

He sat down by the bed, put his sword aside, and quietly watched over her.

Time flowed slowly in the stillness.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Sangyu, who was asleep, suddenly stirred.

She unconsciously sat up in bed, put her two slender arms on Feng Xingyu's shoulders, and then pulled hard.

Caught off guard, Feng Xingyu was pulled off balance by her sudden force, his body tilting and falling backward, half of his body landing on the soft bed.

He looked up in astonishment at the culprit.

Mo Sangyu's eyes remained closed, and her breathing was steady, indicating that she was still fast asleep and had been completely unaware of what had just happened.

Feng Xingyu suddenly realized that it had been almost a month since she had unconsciously gotten up in the middle of the night to look for him.

Could it be that it's due to the influence of the soul contract again?

He felt a slight chill.

Fortunately, he was here tonight to keep watch. Otherwise, if she had run out so carelessly and confusedly, he didn't dare to imagine how dangerous it would have been in this treacherous city lord's mansion.

He sat up, gently tucked her restless arms back under the covers, and carefully tucked the blankets in so she could sleep peacefully again.

However, as soon as he sat back down on the edge of the bed, the person in the blankets stirred again.

Mo Sangyu got up again, without even opening her eyes, and slumped limply onto Feng Xingyu's back.

Her soft body pressed against his broad back, carrying the unique warmth and fragrance of sleep, which was clearly transmitted through the thin fabric.

Feng Xingyu's body tensed up abruptly.

An indescribable heat shot straight to the top of my head.

Dry mouth.

Looking at her dependent and affectionate demeanor, Feng Xingyu's eyes deepened, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly once more.

This is a challenge to his self-control.

Feng Xingyu took a deep breath.

The next instant, he swiftly flipped onto the bed, casually kicking his sword and boots under the bed, and the bed curtains fluttered down.

After getting into bed, he scooped Mo Sangyu into his arms.

She nestled in his arms like a kitten, so fragrant and soft, making him feel both aroused and deeply filled with something.

He knew that Mo Sangyu would sleep very soundly that night and wouldn't wake up no matter how much he stirred.

This realization allowed that secret thought in his heart, which he dared not utter aloud, to quietly grow.

He indulged himself, burying his face in her soft hair, tightening his arms to hold her closer, and closing his eyes to enjoy the warmth and softness of her body.

However, he didn't enjoy this tender moment for long.

Feng Xingyu suddenly became alert; someone was coming.

They are slowly walking this way.

The person did not conceal their aura, yet they were still extremely difficult to detect.

A short while later, light footsteps stopped at their door.

"Miss Mo."

It is Chu Canglan.

His gentle voice politely inquired, "Are you asleep?"

Receiving no response, he continued, "The kitchen just made some desserts, and I thought you might like them, so I brought some over for you."

dessert?

Why would a city lord like him need to personally deliver something?

They clearly have ill intentions.

Even though Feng Xingyu knew that Mo Sangyu was sleeping soundly tonight and wouldn't wake up easily, he still couldn't help but reach out and gently cover her ears.

He assumed that Chu Canglan would leave on her own if she didn't receive a response.

But the person outside the door was clearly not a normal person either.

"Miss Mo?"

Chu Canglan called out again, and seeing no response, said to himself, "Did I come in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a very slight sound came from the door bolt.

He actually pushed the door open.

Before the door was even opened, Feng Xingyu had already quickly rolled over and hidden deep under the covers, concealing his presence to the extreme, as if he were nothing at all.

Chu Canglan carried a small food box and walked in slowly.

Only a dim yellow lamp was lit in the room, casting a hazy light.

A raised figure could be vaguely seen inside the bed curtains.

Mo Sangyu's breathing was even and steady.

Is she really asleep?

Not sensing the servant's presence, Chu Canglan couldn't help but frown.

He placed the food box on the table and walked silently to the bedside.

The figures inside were not clearly visible through the bed curtains.

"Miss Mo?"

Chu Canglan called out softly again, and seeing that the person inside still did not move, he slowly reached out, preparing to lift the bed curtains to take a look.

As a result, just as her hand reached out, the sleeping Mo Sangyu suddenly opened her eyes.

His eyes were sharp and piercing.

She looked coldly at the outstretched hand, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up, yet chillingly sharp: "What are you doing?"

Chu Canglan's hand froze in mid-air, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and revealed his usual gentle smile.

"Did I wake Miss Mo? I'm so sorry."

He withdrew his hand, his tone apologetic: "I didn't know Miss Mo was resting so early. I just thought the new desserts made in the kitchen were quite good, so I brought some over for you to try. Don't misunderstand, I didn't do anything."

Mo Sangyu then realized that there was someone else under the covers!

It is Feng Xingyu.

Why did this man have to hide in her bed of his own?

Mo Sangyu quickly looked at Chu Canglan by the bedside.

Seeing that he looked normal, his gaze did not linger on the bulge on her side.

Did you not notice anything at all?

She sat up calmly, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and used the opportunity to cover herself from the unusual sight behind her.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

Mo Sangyu, after offering thanks, turned cold and said, "From now on, I hope that the City Lord will not enter my room without my permission."

"It was I who was presumptuous."

Chu Canglan said with a smile, "However, only Miss Mo can do this; other women don't have this right."

Hearing this, Feng Xingyu, who was hiding under the covers, had a cold glint in his eyes.

This Chu Canglan actually dared to say such ambiguous things to his woman!

He was seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it.

The stuffy heat from the air-insulating bedding hit his face, and the heat and anger stirred up his evil thoughts.

Mo Sangyu was speechless. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the person under the covers move restlessly.

His hand slowly rested on her waist.

Despite the thin fabric separating them, the soft warmth of her hand was enough to arouse Feng Xingyu's desire at that moment.

He recklessly reached out, not caring at all whether Chu Canglan, who was standing behind the bed curtains, would notice.

Mo Sangyu was startled by his actions.

This man is completely addicted to this!

She suppressed the strange sensations emanating from her body, maintained a calm facade, and dealt with Chu Canglan, while secretly wishing she could kick the man out of bed immediately.

"I have received the city lord's kind intentions."

Her tone hardened, as she wanted to get rid of this pest as soon as possible: "Put down the snacks, I want to continue resting, please leave."

Upon hearing this, Chu Canglan did not immediately take any action.

His gaze swept over the blanket that she was wrapped up tightly in, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Miss Mo."

He suddenly asked, "Where are your servants? Why aren't they guarding the area? Letting their master sleep alone is not the job of a proper servant."

Mo Sangyu secretly pinched Feng Xingyu hard before speaking again, her voice clearly impatient: "Please leave!"

Chu Canglan stood quietly by the bed for a moment.

Even after all this, he still wasn't angry.

His emotional stability was almost frightening.

"Alright then, you get some rest, and we'll have breakfast together tomorrow morning?"

"..."

Mo Sangyu did not respond.

Chu Canglan finally turned around, calmly left the room, and gently closed the door behind him.

Only after his footsteps completely disappeared outside the courtyard did Mo Sangyu suddenly throw off the covers.
