Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 137 - 137: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (7)

Pain flashed in the young man's pair of inky black eyes, which held a complexity of emotions—anger, sadness, and reluctance intertwined with one another, seemingly exploding inside his head, putting him in a daze.

"Why?" Lu Heng asked in a hoarse voice. "Why do you even have him in your dreams? Do you love that man so much?"

Seeing that Yue Ran's smile was getting sweeter and sweeter, Lu Heng could not bear it any longer, and his reason was burned away by the monstrous jealousy in his heart.

On the spur of the moment, Lu Heng bowed his head and kissed the young girl's red lips, which he had been thinking about day and night.

As he had previously expected, it was as beautiful and sweet as he had imagined. He greedily ingested the breath that belonged to her and traveled downward.

In the end, Yue Ran hummed, her brows frowned, and then she let out a sigh.

As if trying to further avoid the young man's touch, Yue Ran's head turned sideways. Lu Heng could only let out a sigh when he saw it.

He wanted to taste the beauty of the past again.

With that, he bit Yue Ran's lips, then gently sucked and licked them before his tongue traveled deeper inside.

Finally, the young girl made a sound from her throat and subconsciously responded to Lu Heng.

After receiving a response, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he became more eager, which could be seen clearly when his emotions were reflected in the actions he showed.

…

Early in the morning, Yue Ran helped Yi Yan get refreshed and dressed by handing her a towel and helping her get dressed like the original body usually does every day.

Looking at Yue Ran's unusually red and swollen delicate lips, Yi Yan could not help but ask, "Yue Ran, what happened to your lips?"

Touching her lips, Yue Ran's beautiful brows were slightly wrinkled, which made others want to help her smooth them out and help her relieve her worries.

"Madam, this servant is not clear about this either," Yue Ran answered. "Maybe I am allergic to something that I ate last night without knowing it. This servant will just go back and apply some medicinal ointment on my lips later on."

Yi Yan just asked this question casually but did not actually take this incident to heart, so she did not make a sound to reply to Yue Ran's words.

Lu Heng, who was next to the two women, pretended to be calm as he took a sip of the tea from her cup. He had been watching Yue Ran from the corner of his eye ever since she had first stepped into the room.

After the close contact they had last night, Lu Heng has always been in a good mood, until now. It seems that no matter what the young girl is doing, she can always seduce him without putting in any effort.

Seeing that Yue Ran was touching her lips, he thought to himself triumphantly, Thanks to this prince's careful care last night, she was able to look so charming and loveable.

But no matter what the young man thought in his heart, he still had to keep a serious look on his face so that no one would be suspicious of him.

Lu Heng "casually" turned his head in the direction of Yi Yan and Yue Ran and said, "Later, I will ask Wang Li to bring you a bottle of jade crystal ointment. You will be fine after applying this ointment for a day."

When Yi Yan heard Lu Heng say this, she was shocked. She did not expect that the third prince would be so generous as to give this jade crystal ointment away.

One should know that this jade crystal ointment was an imperial gift from the emperor, and there were limited amounts of jade crystal ointment in the imperial palace, not to mention in the third prince's palace.

But Lu Heng actually gave Yue Ran a bottle of it. So how could Yi Yan not be shocked?

After seeing Yi Yan's expression, Lu Heng hastily changed the meaning of his words by saying, "This prince had actually first planned to let Wang Li, this foolish slave, bring this jade crystal ointment to you. I heard that this ointment has the effect of beautifying and smoothing even the roughest of skin." As he spoke, he glared at Wang Li next to him. "Who knows that this foolish slave actually forgot to give this to you when I first got it? I only remembered that there was still this thing when I heard the conversation between you and Yue Ran."

As Lu Heng's close confidant, Wang Li immediately understood Lu Heng's meaning at a glance, and he quickly knelt down to echo the third prince's words.

"It is all this slave's fault," Wang Li quickly said as he "confessed" his wrongdoings. "This slave deserves to die. This slave deserves to die."

This huge movement shook the fat on Wang Li's body as he pretended to slap himself a few times in the face.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Lu Heng looked at his heartfelt servant and said, "Okay, that is enough. Fortunately, you met Madam Yi this time. If you were to meet someone else, they would not be as kind as Madam Yi."

Wang Li smiled obsequiously and said, "That is natural. Only Madam Yi is the kindest person in the whole palace; that is what all the servants say."

Listening to Lu Heng's words made Yi Yan feel sweet in her heart.

As expected, the third prince still likes her the most. With a precious thing like the jade crystal ointment, the first thing that he thought of was to give it to her.

And to think that she was still doubting what was between the third prince and Yue Ran just now—she only felt that she was such a silly person to think so. There was clearly nothing between them.

Yi Yan shifted her gaze to Lu Heng and smiled more and more shyly and affectionately.

"Your Highness, you are so kind to Yi Yan," Yi Yan said coquettishly. "However, you cannot blame Wang Li for this matter. He is the eunuch next to you, and he always has to take care of every big and small matter every day for you, so being forgetful is a normal thing. So do not punish him, okay?"

Lu Heng only hummed at Yi Yan's words.

He did not expect that Yi Yan herself would believe his words and even help him make up a reason so that Wang Li would not be punished, so there would be no need to disagree with her.

Soon later, when Yi Yan remembered this matter in the near future, she would only feel like she was very stupid right now.

Lu Heng pretended to think for a while, and then he uttered, "Okay, then that is fine. Sure enough, Yi Yan is still the kindest person who knows how to be considerate to the servants. It would be great if Chu Ning was half as good as you."

Chu Ning is Lu Heng's main wife.

Yi Yan's heart was in full bloom. She was indeed the main wife in Lu Heng's heart. Chu Ning, who was from the prominent Chu family, was only lucky to have such a powerful family background, and so she had successfully taken away the position of Lu Heng's first wife.

The position of first wife was supposed to belong to her, Yi Yan! But Chu Ning had actually snatched that position away from her, all because of her family background!

Just thinking about this made Yi Yan feel extremely angry!

Although her thoughts were aggressive, Yi Yan still spoke softly and modestly: "No, Madam usually behaves very well, but the servants are human too, so there is no need to be so harsh on them."

Lu Heng had only said his latter sentence without much thought, so he did not actually put it in mind. Right now, his mind was preoccupied with how Yue Ran would find him in the afternoon, so how could he still hear the words that Yi Yan was speaking about?

Yue Ran, who stood on the side, lowered her head and smiled ironically.

Lu Heng, who had been staring at Yue Ran all the time, could only see Yue Ran's mouth curling upwards from where he could see. He only thought that Yue Ran was thinking about him as much as he was about her. Now, he was even more looking forward to meeting Yue Ran alone in the afternoon.

Here, Lu Heng was already thinking about how he would hold Yue Ran in his arms to talk about love later, while Yi Yan, who was sitting by Lu Heng's side, was shining about how the relationship between her and the young man still had not changed after so many years of knowing one another.

Who knew that the young man in her eyes—her beloved husband, Lu Heng—was thinking about how he could have an affair with her dowry maid?

This must be what sharing the same bed but having different dreams means.

…

Yi Yan sat down comfortably on the bed while squinting her eyes.

"Yue Ran, you should go and get the jade crystal ointment the third prince said in the morning in the third prince's study later, do you understand?" Yi Yan asked as she looked out the window.
