Chapter 492 Arrogant Style
"but……"
"Since Miss Su has already gotten involved, it would seem petty of me not to lend a hand."
She slightly raised her chin, feigning indifference, "Yu Wan, don't think I've been convinced by you. I just think this is a bit interesting and can help relieve some boredom."
Yu Wan suppressed a laugh.
Xiao Huanyan is a typical example of someone who says one thing but does another.
"I am very grateful to Miss Xiao for her help. In the future, we will have to rely on your wisdom and talent for the workshop."
Xiao Huanyan snorted again and turned her head away. "Don't flatter me. I don't have that much ability. But since I've agreed to help, I certainly won't just do it half-heartedly."
Although her words were forceful, her slightly reddened ears betrayed her unease.
Yu Wan and Su Qingchan exchanged a glance, and Su Qingchan's face lit up with a smile.
Miss Xiao's mouth is harder than a rock.
……
When they returned to the Yun residence, the city lights were already on.
Yu Wan couldn't help but chuckle whenever she thought of Xiao Huanyan.
Although Miss Xiao said she was reluctant, her actions spoke louder than words. Before she could even arrange the work, she took the initiative to recruit craftsmen.
Xiao's father, Xiao Tengtian, was the commander of the Grand Canal Transport Office, and he came into contact with all sorts of people. Moreover, the Xiao family had a strong foundation in Shengjing. The Xiao family's network of connections was extensive and complex, which was undoubtedly a unique advantage in recruiting craftsmen.
Yu Wan thought that if Xiao Huanyan could use the Xiao family's resources to find skilled craftsmen, the preparation of the workshop would go much more smoothly.
Xiao Huanyan had told her to wait for good news.
When she entered the room, Yu Wan's smile never faded.
Yun Shang was reading a book inside the room, and the warm yellow candlelight made his figure appear even taller.
Hearing footsteps, Yun Shang looked up, her gaze falling gently on Yu Wan.
Seeing the smile on her face, he understood.
"It seems your business went smoothly today." Yun Shang closed the book, stood up, and took off her cloak. His fingertips brushed against her slightly cool wrist, and he gently warmed her hand in his palm. "Have you had dinner?"
Yu Wan nodded with a smile, "I ate at Fei Bao Lou with Su Qingchan and Xiao Huanyan."
She said excitedly, "I've already arranged everything. I'll be in charge of building the workshop, Su Qingchan will be in charge of recruiting workers, and Xiao Huanyan will be in charge of recruiting experienced craftsmen."
"Finding some experienced craftsmen will make teaching them easier."
Yun Shang gently stroked her slightly cool fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips: "If you encounter anything you can't solve, just send someone to find me."
Yun Shang did not directly interfere in Yu Wan's workshop affairs.
He could tell that Yu Wan didn't think it was shameful to do business in public like other noble ladies in Shengjing; on the contrary, she enjoyed it.
This vibrant and passionate energy is truly rare among women confined to their chambers, and it is precisely what Yun Shang admires most about her.
He knew that Yu Wan never wanted to hide behind a man.
"Don't worry." Yu Wan looked at him seriously, "I will definitely ask you for help if I encounter any problems that I can't solve."
It's hot today, and she's been running around outside all day. Right now, she feels sticky and uncomfortable.
Yu Wan tugged at her collar, frowned, and said, "You continue reading, I'm going to take a shower first."
Yun Shang's eyes flickered slightly.
He raised his eyes, his dark gaze sweeping over the woman's fair neck, and he let out a low "hmm."
Yu Wan didn't think anything was wrong, and turned around to go out and tell the maid in the courtyard to prepare bath water for her.
Inside the bathroom, the steamy air was filled with the delicate fragrance of flower petals.
Yu Wan was immersed in the warm bathtub, her hair loosely falling over her shoulders, the fatigue from the day's journey gradually being dispelled by the warmth.
She squinted her eyes and sighed contentedly.
Comfortable~
Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door.
Yu Wan squinted and remained motionless, only lazily replying, "Come in."
It was most likely that Xizhu brought her essential oils.
With a soft creak, footsteps drew closer, and Yu Wan extended a porcelain-white hand.
Water droplets dripped from the hand that had just emerged from the water, and a thin mist lingered on the fair skin, making the hand even more alluring.
However, Yu Wan did not touch the familiar porcelain vase for a long time.
She was puzzled and wanted to open her eyes to ask.
Suddenly, my wrist was grasped by warm fingertips, and a warm breath brushed past my ear: "It's me."
An indescribable tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout her body, and Yu Wan abruptly opened her eyes.
The mist blurred her vision, and in the hazy light, Yun Shang's figure was shrouded in shadow. His white silk robe was half-open, revealing his slender waistline, and his long, ink-black hair was draped down. A few strands of hair, soaked with moisture, clung to his skin and meandered down, disappearing into the half-open robe.
Yu Wan's cheeks instantly burned, and she struggled to pull her hand back: "You, how did you get in!"
She hurriedly shrank back into the water, splashing water that soaked his sleeves.
Even though the two of them have already... cough cough, she still gets shy when they're so open with each other!
Yun Shang chuckled softly, and the words that came out made Yu Wan's face turn even redder.
"Serve my wife as she bathes."
Yu Wan's pupils widened in shock.
"you you you--"
Before Yu Wan could say anything, Yun Shang used his other hand to pick up a strand of her wet hair, brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly: "Are you using osmanthus-scented soap today?"
"It smells very good, but..."
Almost the instant the words left his mouth, the man's cool lips brushed against Yu Wan's reddened earlobe.
“I prefer…” his thumb traced her lips, “the original scent of my wife.”
Yu Wan felt weak all over.
She felt like she was melting in water from his burning gaze.
She struggled to push him away, but Yun Shang grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the edge of the tub.
His fingertips slid down her arm and gently pinched her waist, which was submerged in water, startling her into a soft gasp.
"Don't move." Yun Shang's voice was hoarse and seductive. His palm slowly moved up her back. Her thin inner garment, which was already clinging to her skin in the water, slipped down her shoulder when he pulled it.
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the water droplets on her shoulder and the surging desire in his eyes.
Yu Wan was all too familiar with that look in her eyes.
To be honest, because she was busy preparing for the workshop and he was also tied up with official duties, the two of them hadn't been close for quite some time.
Is he unable to hold it in any longer?
Seeing the dark, lustful glint in the man's eyes, Yu Wan knew she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She also has an appointment with the craftsmen who will build the workshop tomorrow...
Thinking of this, Yu Wan hurriedly grabbed her slipped collar, "I have things to do tomorrow..."
The rest of the conversation ended abruptly.
The rest of her words caught in her throat, and Yu Wan stared wide-eyed in shock—
The fingertips held in the cloud-shaped cup.
He was... so incredibly lewd!
Yu Wan trembled slightly, her ear tips turning so red they almost bled.
Her voice was hoarse, "Yun Shang, please, please don't..."
Yun Shang lowered his eyes, as if he couldn't hear Yu Wan's words. He gently bit her fingertip and rubbed it lightly, as if he were savoring some ultimate delicacy.
