The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 43 Are you going to sleep with me?
After hearing that there was only one room, Ruan Ning was a little dumbfounded: "This..."

When she turned her head to look at Xiao Lan, the waiter was already preparing to close the door: "If you can't live here, I'll close the door. Otherwise, you can go look elsewhere."

The surrounding shops were all closed, and there were no inns anywhere. Ruan Ning didn't want to live in a ruined temple, so he made a quick decision: "Stay, let's stay."

*
"Squeak~"

As the door of the house was pushed open, the smell of a dilapidated old house hit his face, making Ruan Ning choke and cough.

"Ahem, are the other rooms really full? Your room looks like it hasn't been occupied for a long time."

The waiter said impatiently: "It's just like this at the bottom of the mountain. It's damp in the house, so just make do with it, or else you can go somewhere else..."

Before the waiter could finish speaking, Ruan Ning quickly made a pause gesture: "No, it's fine, it's fine. We'll live here. Could you please boil some hot water? Thank you."

After the waiter left, Ruan Ning plopped down on the bed. She couldn't eat or sleep well these days. Now that Xiao Shuang's whereabouts were known, her whole body felt relaxed and she just wanted to have a good sleep.

Although the environment here is not good, it is better than nothing.

As soon as the slander fell, Ruan Ning suddenly heard a "bang". She raised her head and looked, and saw Xiao Lan just put the sword on the table, sitting upright at the square table, staring at her without blinking.

Ruan Ning got up quickly and ran to Xiao Lan's side: "Your Majesty, please lie down for a while."

Xiao Lan gave her a not polite look, stood up and walked towards the bed. Before leaving, she said, "Then I'll leave this table to you."

Ruan Ning stood there and looked around. The room was poorly furnished. As far as the eye could see, she could see a bed and a table. What did Xiao Lan just say that she should sleep on the table?

Seeing Xiao Lan taking off her boots and about to take off her coat, Ruan Ning tiptoed forward, pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, you see this bed is so wide, it should be able to accommodate another one of me."

It was not the first day that Xiao Lan met Ruan Ning. He had seen many of her bold behaviors, but even so, he did not expect her to say such a thing.

He raised his eyebrows and confirmed again: "You want to sleep with me?"

When they first met, Xiao Lan was able to control her fashion, and Ruan Ning was not worried about what he would do to her.

She blurted out: "Don't think too much, I don't think of you as a man at all."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

After realizing something was wrong, Ruan Ning quickly made amends: "Look at what I said, I didn't mean it like that. I meant that you are definitely not the kind of man who is interested in sex, and I will never touch you. I swear."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter's voice came: "The hot water is at the door."

Ruan Ning didn't wait for Xiao Lan to answer her previous question and said directly: "Your Majesty, do you want to take a shower?"

Xiao Lan had nothing to say about her shamelessness. She was silent for two seconds and said expressionlessly: "You first."

Ruan Ning walked towards the door happily: "Okay."

Not long after, Ruan Ning left and came back: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Lan said impatiently: "I told you, you go first."

Ruan Ning pursed her lips and spoke again: "That bucket of water is too heavy. Can you... help lift it?"

Xiao Lan raised his head and met each other's eyes.

*
After a while, the sound of rushing water rang out in the clean room. Although Ruan Ning had tried his best to reduce the range of his movements, he could not control the sound.

She didn't take a shower on the way here. When she thought about the two days' journey back, she would have no chance if she didn't take a shower today.

Xiao Lan wanted to plan what she would do tomorrow, but was distracted by the sound of the clean room.

He now believed Ruan Ning's words. She really didn't treat him as a man. *
When he lay on the bed, it was almost midnight. Ruan Ning took advantage of Xiao Lan to wash up and crawled to the innermost part of the bed. It was better to leave the outside to Xiao Lan, so that if there was an assassin or something, he could block it.

As the night grew darker, the two of them lay down, feeling at peace with each other for the time being.

Although Ruan Ning had a strong heart, she was still a little uncomfortable lying on the same bed with a man. Fortunately, her exhaustion overcame her embarrassment and she fell asleep quickly.

At night, when Ruan Ning's legs were put on Xiao Lan's body for the third time, he finally couldn't help but sit up.

Looking at Ruan Ning's sleeping posture, he frowned tightly. There were two quilts on the bed, but Ruan Ning kicked her own to the corner, turned around and kept grabbing his quilt.

Now Xiao Lan has nothing on him except one leg.

He suppressed his anger, pulled Ruan Ning's legs down, and then snatched his quilt from her hands. Just as he was about to lie down, he saw Ruan Ning curling up as if she was frozen, and he resigned himself to his fate. The cup in the corner was pulled over and covered with her.

Finally being honest.

Xiao Lan turned over and lay down. The next second, his waist sank and another arm appeared.

He closed his eyes heavily and let out a breath.

*
The next day, Ruan Ning woke up refreshed and opened his eyes to see Xiao Lan sitting at the table reading a book.

She stretched and said, "Your Majesty, you got up so early."

Xiao Lan didn't even give her a glance, and said in a calm voice: "Thanks to you."

Ruan Ning froze, and his tone sounded like he was in a bad mood.

She straightened her clothes, got out of bed and walked to Xiao Lan: "My lord, what's wrong with you? Did I squeeze you last night?"

Xiao Lan put down the book and took time to look at her: "What do you think?"

Ruan Ning was a little confused by his attitude. She might be a little dishonest when sleeping, but just a little bit, it shouldn't make him so angry.

After thinking for two seconds, Ruan Ning could only come to one conclusion. She recalled the novels she had read in the past. The male protagonists of overbearing CEOs all had a common problem: insomnia.Xiao Lan's character design fits her perfectly.

She thought she understood and nodded: "Oh, I understand. My lord, are you suffering from insomnia? This can be checked by a doctor. Just take some Chinese medicine to treat it."

Xiao Lan was so angry that she even dared to say that he was sick.

He immediately interrupted Ruan Ning and said in a cold tone: "You took my quilt last night."

Ruan Ning paused and said in disbelief: "No, it can't be. Don't we have one quilt per person?"

Xiao Lan didn't answer her, but continued: "You sleep like a top."

Ruan Ning stopped talking. Which woman would like to be told that she slept with someone else? She didn't want to lose face.

But Xiao Lan had no intention of stopping, and continued: "You are still grinding your teeth."

"Ah!" Ruan Ning exclaimed and hurriedly covered Xiao Lan's mouth: "Don't say it, don't say it."

How can a beautiful woman grind her teeth? This is pure slander.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Ruan Ning was no longer in a state of fear and fear towards Xiao Lan at the beginning, otherwise she would not be so bold and dared to cover his mouth with her hands.

Skin-to-skin contact, Ruan Ning's palm inevitably touched Xiao Lan's lips.

It was softer than she expected and a little cooler.
