Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Madam Wang froze for a moment and then shouted loudly at Long Yi’s retreating figure: "Don’t flatter yourself! Who’d want to go with you? You really think you’re some kind of irresistible pretty boy?"

Then, muttering under her breath, she grumbled, "If it weren’t for the Emperor’s orders, who’d want to come out in this freezing weather instead of staying cozy under the blankets! Truly outrageous, making me sound like a lovesick fool. And look at yourself—just a servant! As if I’d care one bit."

Afterward, she peeked around, quickly wrapped the sable coat tighter around herself, and hurried back to the courtyard to rest.

As for where the Prince had gone, it wasn’t something she could know even if she wanted to. After all, the man was a peerless martial arts master, while she was just an ordinary woman without the skills to traverse rooftops.

The Emperor’s business was one she’d do her best for, just for the sake of her family’s safety.

Xuexue returned to the General’s Mansion, took off her nightwear, extinguished the lamp, climbed into bed, and pulled up the blanket. Just as she was about to close her eyes, a familiar fragrance suddenly wafted to her nose.

She opened her eyes wide and, sure enough, found a tall figure quietly standing by her bedside, motionless, gazing silently at her...

Smelling that familiar scent, Xuexue knew it was Long Rui.

So, she didn’t move and simply lay there, waiting for him to speak first.
