On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 379: 379: Do You Like It?

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Do You Like It?

Ye Yiheng’s cool voice ca through, “I won’t throw it at you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the snowball in his hand struck the tree trunk behind Leng Yu Yan, with almost all the snowflakes sticking to the tree trunk.

The tree trunk, struck by the sudden force, shook and the accumulated snow on the branches fell down in flurries, hitting Leng Yu Yan on her body and head; so even fell into her neck, chillingly cold.

“Ha ha ha…” he laughed.

This man relied solely on his good looks, winning the favor of many won. But the fact that many noble ladies in the capital refused to marry him was well-known. Firstly, due to his frail health and secondly, it was probably because his perverse pleasures were indeed too nurous.

Leng Yu Yan stamped her foot and ford a larger snowball to throw back at him.

He slightly shifted his position and she missed.

He ford another snowball and threw it at her; Leng Yu Yan couldn’t dodge in ti and was hit directly on the shoulder, in pain, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

She held her shoulder, “I lose; I don’t want to play anymore.”

It was all her fault. Why on earth would she have a snowball fight with a madman?

Ye Yiheng frowned, “Did it hurt you?”

As a child, when he had snowball fights with Ji Qingyu, they always ended up drenched in sweat. How co now…

He suddenly realized that she was a woman, not the prodigal Ji Qingyu.

So, he quickly walked up to her, his voice hoarse, “Let rub it for you.”

“It’s fine, it didn’t hurt that much.” Leng Yu Yan avoided his hand and brushed the snow off her head and body, “Let’s go pick persimmons quickly instead.”

Ye Yiheng inwardly cursed himself, how could he have forgotten how delicate she was?

The two continued on their way, and soon arrived at the persimmon tree.

Looking at the tall persimmon tree, adorned like little red lanterns, Leng Yu Yan smiled happily, “So many persimmons, they look so red and tempting, they must be sweet.”

She handed him the cloth bag.

“Given the condition of this tree, it seems no one has picked them,” he said. “I wonder if they’re sweet.”

Ye Yiheng took the bag, about to use his Qinggong to climb up, but Leng Yu Yan held his hand.

“You can’t use your Inner Strength now. I’ll go up and pick, you wait down here.”

He nodded, “Alright then, be careful.”

Leng Yu Yan lightly tapped her toes, soared up, picked a persimmon, and then landed back on the ground.

Seeing this, he said, “As you pick them, throw them down to . No need to make a trip up and down for each one.”

“That won’t work.” Leng Yu Yan split the persimmon in half, handing him one, “They’re too soft, probably fully ripe; they’ll break if I throw them.”

The two ate their halves of the persimmon.

Although Ye Yiheng ate with deliberate slowness, he finished his half of the persimmon in no ti, “Not bad, pretty tasty.”

“Really sweet.”

Leng Yu Yan ate slowly, nibbling little bites.

However, because she had broken her half when splitting it, so of the fruit beca crushed, sticking to the sides of her lips.

“Don’t move.” He suddenly spoke.

Leng Yu Yan, puzzled, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Yiheng’s slender fingers touched the side of her lips, gently wiped, removing the fruit pulp from the corner of her lips. In front of her, very naturally and proficiently, he licked the fruit pulp off his own lips.

This scene made Leng Yu Yan freeze, her face burning like fire.

If there were a mirror to reflect her image, her face at this mont would likely resemble a persimmon.

Seeing her like this, Ye Yiheng’s lips slightly curved, he pinched the opening of the cloth bag and tied it to the leather belt at his waist. Then, stretching his arm, he began climbing up the tree trunk.

Watching him grasp the branches with one hand and pluck persimmons with the other, Leng Yu Yan turned her back, taking deep breaths and fanning herself with her hand to cool the burning heat on her face.

His behavior truly couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards.

Thinking about how he casually ate the rice cake she had left, much like a parent eating the rice grains at a child’s mouth corner, she felt perplexed.

Soone had a obsession for cleanliness, and now his behavior made her wonder if in his eyes, she was sohow different from others. At least, he treated her differently from other won.

With this thought, she looked up and asked, “Li Yu, do you like ?”

Suddenly hearing this question, Ye Yiheng almost slipped off the tree branch he was standing on, causing a fair amount of snow on the branches to fall.

He coughed lightly and retorted, “Are you daydreaming?”

After he spoke, his grip on the branch tightened, revealing the veins on the back of his hand.

“Heh, I thought so, why would you like ?” Leng Yu Yan huffed.

With his response, the heat on her face completely subsided, and soon she adjusted her emotions and lightly tapped her toes again.

Leng Yu Yan swiftly picked quite a few persimmons, neatly arranging them on the snowy ground, while Ye Yiheng slowly picked them one by one from the branches and carefully placed them into the cloth bag.

In just a little while, the two had picked many, filling the cloth bag to the brim, and then they both returned to the cave.

—

Marquis Jiangyang Mansion.

Last night, twelve black-clad individuals left the city in two-person teams, making a total of six teams, but now only three had returned.

Seeing this situation, Ji Qingyu was quite frustrated, “What on earth happened?”

Leng Song, clutching his slashed arm, replied, “My lord, the letter couldn’t be sent.”

One of the n said, “My lord, the guard with was killed on the road.”

Ji Qingyu quickly asked a servant to call the house doctor and then queried, “Why?”

He wondered what had happened to the remaining teams.

Bearing the pain, Leng Song explained, “We encountered inspectors at the station when changing horses, and anyone headed north had to undergo a thorough search.”

Another man added, “Exactly, especially now going towards Beilan City or Prince Zhenbei Mansion, ntioning these places at the station would lead to assassination attempts.”

The man who ca back alone cried bitterly, “Now, all people and letters heading to Prince Zhenbei Mansion are being intercepted, and the guards from my team were killed because of it. Fortunately, the letters were on .”

Leng Song lowered his head, “My lord, our two teams have been exposed, I don’t know what has happened to the other four teams.”

Ji Qingyu clenched his fist, “You all go rest first.”

He knew his n well; they would never reveal who had sent them. But if the letter fell into Ye Gaoyun’s hands, Ye Jiu would be in danger, and so would he.

Leng Song expressed remorse, “My lord, we failed to complete our mission, please punish us!”

Ji Qingyu waved his hand, “It’s not your fault; go rest first. After resting, go to the station where the incident occurred and investigate. If the other brothers need your help, try to bring them back.”

He had been careless. At such a critical mont, sending letters that way was sure to arouse suspicion.

Ye Gaoyun was suspicious, sinister, and ruthless. Getting the letter to Beilan City under his watch was indeed challenging.

But if they avoided the official roads and did not switch horses at the stations, bypassing Ye Gaoyun’s n would an reaching Beilan City much later, possibly too late to be of any help to Ye Yiheng.

He wondered if the remaining eight had managed to get past the station inspections smoothly.

Yet thinking of the many more stations to co, Ji Qingyu felt very uneasy.
