For a time, the room was so silent that the falling needle was audible in the room.

Nangong Ning felt that her muscles were all stiff at this moment. Looking at the face in front of her and the night eyes that could almost grab her soul, she stiffened and blinked.

She swallowed hard, pressed her throat, and whispered, “My, my lord, I really didn’t mean it. You should… understand, understand.”

“Understand?” Jun Qianye looked at her pale white face, remembering the feeling that her palm touched his cheek just now, and there was a strange weirdness in his heart that wanted to tease her.

Nangong Ning nodded hard, looked at him and asked seriously: “Aren’t you hurt? My strength is not strong.”

Jun Qianye shook his head and said, “I have never been slapped, you are the first one!”

Nangong Ning felt her scalp numb.

She was the person who slapped Jun Qianye for the first time. Should she rejoice, or should she sigh?

“What do you want to do?”

She beat him, and the strength was very different, so she could only admit it.

He looked at Nangong Ning’s face, and at the moment when Nangong Ning was about to collapse, he said, “What should I do? I can’t think of it for a while, but you have to remember, you owe me a slap.”

“I owe you a slap?” What the hell was this? Nangong Ning’s eyes widened instantly.

Jun Qianye reached out and rubbed his fingers gently on Nangong Ning’s jaw.

Nangong Ning felt instantly numb, and her whole body was stiff, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

Jun Qianye’s lips were slightly picked, revealing a smile that made her scalp numb. He said: “Before I hit that slap, you must listen to me.”

“Then you might slap back directly!” Nangong Ning subconsciously rebelled.

“Are you sure?” Jun Qianye looked at her with a cold tone, which stimulated Nangong Ning’s ear tip to numb.

Nangong Ning swallowed again.

If Jun Qianye slapped her, if he didn’t control her strength, she might be killed by him!

She felt that her life was important when she was thinking at that moment.

“Well… what do you want me to listen to?”

Jun Qianye looked at her and said, “Before the flower banquet ends, you have to follow my lead, do you know?”

Nangong Ning heart jumped, and subconsciously asked: “What do you want to do?”

Jun Qianye glanced at her, then straightened up suddenly and said coldly, “You don’t need to know now.”

Nangong Ning just felt that she was out of the control of Jun Qianye’s powerful pressure and then held her breath.

She felt that Jun Qianye’s words meant she was going to be pitted!

“Also.” Jun Qianye said suddenly.

Nangong Ning was surprised again, and asked, “What?”

“Before the flower banquet, you just accept all my arrangements with peaceful mind.”

Nangong stared, her heart moved, and blurted out, “Including the matter that Wushuang Pavilion will give me clothes?”

Jun Qianye turned to look at her, and Nangong Ning also sat up at this time, looking straight at her with clear eyes.

Since Wenren Yao couldn’t find out, Zong Lao also said that he didn’t know Bai Wushuang, and it would be better to take the opportunity to ask him better.

“Do you have any objection to Wushuang Pavilion?” Jun Qianye squinted slightly, looking at her and asked.

Nangong Ning shook her head and said: “The Wushuang Pavilion is famous all over the world, and the women in the world will yearn for it, and I have no exception.”

“Then why do you care it so much?” Jun Qianye stared at her tightly.

Nangong Ning felt inexplicable, avoiding Jun Qianye’s gaze, and whispered: “I just think I don’t have such the reputation that you will ask Wushuang Pavilion to dress me, and let Bai Wushuang come in person.”

Jun Qianye looked at her and asked tentatively, “Do you dislike Bai Wushuang?”

“No, she is beautiful and talented, I don’t have to dislike her.” Nangong Ning immediately denied.

Jun Qianye looked at her. Nangong Ning was stared by his eyes, and suddenly felt more guilty, and finally she asked stubbornly, “Is it true that you are the old acquaintance with Miss Bai?”

“Why do you ask?” Jun Qianye didn’t answer the question.

Nangong Ning clenched her teeth secretly, looked up at Jun Qianye, and simply said: “I think Bai seems to know you.”

Jun Qianye looked at her without speaking for a long time.

Nangong Ning saw him silent, and her heart sank slowly.

It seemed that her feelings were right. Bai Wushuang really was an old acquaintance with Jun Qianye.

For a time, a small flame suddenly rose in her heart.

However, just when she was angry, Jun Qianye suddenly said coldly: “No.”

“What?” Nangong Ning was really surprised, staring at Jun Qianye.

Jun Qianye looked at her impatiently and said, “Why? Do you think I am lying to you?”

“Yes, of course…” There was no need to lie to me! But Nangong Ning still felt that she was right.

Yes! Jun Qianye may not know Bai Wushuang, but Bai Wushuang must know the Regent.

Just like the original owner, she hadn’t been in contact with Jun Qianye before, but it was also very permeable to Jun Qianye.

Was it possible that Bai Wushuang secretly dreamed of Jun Qianye?

She looked at Jun Qianye in front of her. With the appearance, identity, status, prestige, etc., it was not too normal for a woman to be envious.

“I didn’t know anything about Bai Wushuang. As for whether Wushuang Pavilion arranged for her to come over, that was the matter of Wushuang Pavilion. I just sent a letter to Wushuang Pavilion. “Jun Qianye looked at her little face that changed a lot in a moment, and patiently explained it.

Nangong Ning felt a little hot on her face and her heart was even more embarrassed.

She had been entangled in this matter for a whole day, but when she thought about it carefully, what her position was, and more importantly, it seemed to be all her random associations.

“Then you have to be careful.” Nangong Ning couldn’t help but still not reconciled.

“Be careful?” Jun Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nangong pursed her lips and said, “Even if you do not provoke lovers, lovers may proactively provoke you.”

“What?” Jun Qianye was shocked by her remarks.

Nangong Ning curved hwer lips and said with a smile: “I am to remind you, lest the peach blossoms in the palace will bloom, and the fragrance will be all over the house.”

“Nangong Ning, what nonsense are you talking about?” Jun Qianye’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone obviously unpleasant.

Seeing him suddenly change his face, Nangong Ning hurriedly said: “Nothing, I’m just reminding you kindly.”

Jun Qianye looked at her, but smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, saying: “Reminding me ? I think you still worry about yourself.”

Nangong Nong was startled when her heart sank.

Yes! Now she still couldn’t guarantee herself. What qualifications were there to remind Jun Qianye? Even if the real peach flowers were blooming, with the cold air all over him, it could instantly called those peach flowers to wither and to be ruined!

Jun Qianye suddenly reached out. Nangong Ning was startled, thinking he wanted to slap her, and then stepped back. However his hand really fell on her face, but it was not the force that hit her. Instead, he pressed her face and laid her back very rudely.

“Okay, go to sleep. I will go.”

Nangong Ning almost died of suffocation in a single breath. After hearing the words, her body and mind were relaxed, and she immediately buried herself in the quilt, showing only a pair of eyes, and sincerely looked at Jun Qianye.

It implied that she would sleep well.

Jun Qianye glanced at her, paused, and went straight to the window, opened the window, and swept it out.

While Nangong Ning was thinking about whether to get up and close the window, she heard a “pop” sound and the window was closed.

Nangong Ning thought for a moment that the world was a bit of fantasy. Was Jun Qianye actually such a considerate person?

Recalling that expression, when Jun Qianye said that he didn’t know Bai Wushuang, Nangong Ning felt only peace of mind, so she closed her eyes to sleep peacefully.

Nangong Ning was extremely comfortable, and the next day, nothing happened, except that Mr. Zong came to talk with Nangong Ning. Everything was normal.

Originally, Nangong Ning thought that there would be some arrangements for Jun Qianye, but there would not. Until the afternoon of the third day, people from Wushuang Pavilion came.

This time Bai Wushuang didn’t come, but only the two maids who followed Bai Wushuang that day came.

They came to deliver the finished clothes, and also said that Bai Wushuang had to work day and night in order to make this set of clothes, and was tired and resting, so she could not come in person.

There was no doubt. In three days’ time, she made a set of clothes out, and the embroidered pattern was still clever. Even the first embroidered lady in the world would have to try very hard.

Bai Wushuang was worthy of being the first embroidered lady in the world, but after seeing one side, she produced a set of dress that matched the style and color, as well as the embroidered patterns, which matched Nangong Ning’s temperament.

Women did not refuse beautiful clothes, and Nangong Ning was no exception.

In addition to the clothing of Wushuang Pavilion, at twilight, each of the three jewelry shops also sent a set of jewelry, all claiming to be the treasures of their own shops.

Nangong Ning looked at the jewelry box in front of her and only felt dazzled. Finally, she asked Wen Wan to help her pick one.

Wen Wan’s eyes were good, and she chose a suit according to Wushuang Pavilion’s clothes.

Nangong Ning looked at it and was very satisfied.

Wen Wan also joked on the side: “The prince is really interested in Miss Nangong. Tomorrow, Miss Nangong will wear this set of clothes, and you will definitely be gorgeous.”

Nangong Ning caressed her own cheeks. This face of hers was really worth looking at. With this set of clothes matching her face, what Wen Wan said might happen.

However, she suddenly thought that Jun Qianye asked Wushuang Pavilion to make her clothes and asked the jewelry shop in Beijing to send her jewelry. Would it cause trouble in Beijing?

She couldn’t help but ask Wen Wan: “Wan Wan, is it secret or is it fair that Jun Qianye ask them to send me jewelry?”

Wen Wan looked at Nangong Ning in a weird manner, and said, “It is naturally bright and fair. Why do you ask this?”

Nangong Ning listened, and suddenly felt a numb scalp, an ominous premonition filled her heart.

She finally understood why Jun Qianye said that she should obediently accept his arrangement!
