179 A Surprise and Heart-Throb

Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian. In a few moments, Lan You Nian already fell asleep. Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes filled with love. Watching the young girl’s thin eyebrows that seemed to be sketched out stroke by stroke by the finest painter. Those closed eyes, the thick lashes under the shine of the candlelight, brought out a small shadow under the eye. A small button nose, under which pink moist lips were like the perfectly bloomed flower, leading people to want to lower their head to have a taste.

Feng Yi Xuan pecked her as if an adolescent boy. From outside, An Yi’s lowered voice drifted in, “Master!”

Feng Yi Xuan cautiously got out of bed. As soon as he moved, he noticed Nian Nian’s arms reach out to latch to his waist. Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes flashed with a smile but remembering he still had some matters on hand, he lightly pat Lan You Nian’s back, coaxing her a few moments before she was once again deep asleep. Feng Yi Xuan then reluctantly put on an outer coat and left the room.

“The person?” Feng Yi Xuan’s voice was lowered but the coldness flooding it. Thinking that Nian Nian was sleeping inside, Feng Yi Xuan was in a bad mood.

“In the room!” An Yi lowered his head answering. He felt that once master left wangfei, he became like ice. Though they as shadow guard were already used to it, one moment cold another moment hot attitude, making them unable to accept.

“Mute him, bring him over!” Feng yi Xuan stood outside the room. Although if he went to other rooms, it wouldn’t take much time, Feng Yi Xuan knew as soon as he went too far, Nian Nian will wake up. Neither was he reassured that Nian Nian was alone in the room, so he’ll just stay outside the room, not only won’t he disturb Nian Nian’s sleep, he can also take care of his other matters.

In a moment, An Yi lugged an old man over. Upon a careful look, wasn’t it that old man carving hairpins on the streets that night? At this moment the old man stared at Feng Yi Xuan in fear. That night as he was closing up the stall and ready to go sleep, he was abducted by this man. He gave him a lot of money to have him teach the man’s master to carve hairpins. All that money who knew how many hairpins he would need to carve to earn it all. The old man knew he didn’t have any right to reject so he waited in the room in constant fear. Only now did he see the so called master.

The old man wanted to say something out of fear but he has already been muted so he can’t make a sound. Feng Yi Xuan didn’t want the old man to wake Nian Nian up by making any frightened sounds.

An Yi put down all the things from the old man’s stall quietly in front of him, saying, “Let’s start now!” He didn’t expect master would suddenly want to personally make hairpins for wangfei. He even ordered the Ghost Realm’s people bring over the best phoebe fragrant wood.

The phoebe fragrant wood was priceless. Many families had only tiny piece of the phoebe fragrant wood and couldn’t wait to revere it. Meanwhile master without batting an eyelash brought it out to carve hairpins for the matriarch, without any bit of reluctance.

The old looked at Feng Yi Xuan, though he appeared indifferent and frightening but didn’t do anything to him so he was a little reassured. Slowly, he started carving based on the pattern given by Feng Yi Xuan. The pattern Feng Yi Xuan gave the old man was the spider lily’s pattern. Though he didn’t like the meaning of this flower, but since Nian Nian liked it, he is willing to spoil her.

Feng Yi Xuan learned it seriously. He carefully watched as the old man used the tools to slowly carve out a spider lily on the piece of wood. Feng Yi Xuan also picked up a piece to practice on. Within moments, by Feng Yi Xuan’s feet, there was already a pile of wood pieces whose flowers weren’t carved very well.

The old man can also tell that young master did this to please the madame. More or less, he taught even more earnestly. Just like this, Feng Yi Xuan leaned on the room’s door using the tools to carve. If one piece wasn’t good, then he’ll just continue, until it was late into the night, he carved out a somewhat decent hairpin.

Feng Yi Xuan relaxed with a sigh, then took out the phoebe fragrant wood and slowly carved while the old man was silently taken away by An Yi. He was warned that the carving pattern tonight wasn’t allowed to appear, otherwise he must be careful of his family.

Now that he wasn’t carving on a regular piece of wood but the real phoebe wood, Feng Yi Xuan was completely concentrated as he started carving. He carved for a long time before Feng Yi Xuan finished carving the hairpin. The purple-red phoebe wood looked life-like, without any flaws. What made it odd was the strange demonic spider lily blooming on the hairpin.

Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi destroy the things on the ground. Feng Yi Xuan saw it was already very late, dawn was almost breaking, Feng Yi Xuan grinned looking at the hairpin in his hand then silently entered the room.

Using his inner force to disperse the cold air from standing outside all night, waiting for his body to warm up, Feng Yi Xuan pulled off his outer robe and got into bed to cradle Lan You Nian in his arms.

“Where did you go?” Just as Feng Yi Xuan wrapped his arms around Lan You Nian, Lan You Nian’s voice broke with dissatisfaction. How could she not be aware of Feng Yi Xuan leaving in the middle of the night? It’s only because she’s surrounded by his scent that Lan You Nian was able to continue sleeping. She knew Feng Yi Xuan must be busy. She didn’t want to bother him.

“Did I wake you p?” Feng Yi Xuan didn’t answer, evading the subject. He wanted to give Nian Nian a surprise.

Lan You Nian buried her head shaking it, then grumbled, “Without you by my side, I can’t sleep well!” She was already used to having Feng Yi Xuan by her side. Even if it wasn’t on the same bed, it was in the same room. If Feng Yi Xuan wasn’t present, she will return to her past vigilant state.

Feng Yi Xuan’s heart was happy and sour, as well as a hint of guilt. He shouldn’t have left Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan propped his chin on Lan You Nian’s head, smelling the fragrance in Lan You Nian’s hair saying, “It won’t happen again!”

“Really?” Lan You Nian lifted her head asking, her expression serious and pouty.

Feng YI Xuan’s lips lazily rose upwards. The prominent bridge of his nose served to make his eyes especially profound, large palms lightly rubbing the soft, boneless delicate and smooth little hand, softly saying, “Really!” No matter where I go, I will always bring you, even if it is hell. Because I fear no one will love you as much as me.

Seeing it was getting late, the two of them got out of bed. Feng Yi Xuan picked out some clothes and helped Lan You Nian dress then dressed himself. At this moment, Lan Wu carried in a basin of water for washing. The two started to wash up for the day.

“Can I do your hair today?” Feng Yi Xuan asked then without waiting for Lan You Nian’s reply, he dragged Lan You Nian over to the dressing table. Lan You Nian didn’t resist. After all, this wasn’t the first time. From the foreignness of doing her hair at the start, Feng Yi Xuan improved to the present of being able to do her hair up into several lovely hairstyles.
