Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 156 Someone Came In

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen frowned and replied, "No."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli pursed her lips and asked again, "Is it difficult for outsiders to sneak into the manor?"

This time, Yu Chen didn't answer immediately, but just looked at her.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly spoke, "Someone came in."

It wasn't phrased in a questioning tone.

Su Wuli looked surprised.

Yu Chen figured it out.

The man looked at her intently, but there was no sense of oppression.

It was as if they were waiting for her to speak for herself.

Su Wuli hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Someone climbed in through the window just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his brow twitched slightly.

"But they left quickly," she added hastily. "They left as soon as they heard Qiaosheng and the others' voices."

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but simply reached out and grasped her wrist.

His gaze moved down from her face and landed on her, scanning her from head to toe.

"Are you injured?"

"I'm fine," Su Wuli waved her hand. "She didn't touch me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen released her wrist.

But his eyes were still fixed on her, as if something was weighing on them.

Seeing this, Su Wuli added, "It's really nothing."

After she finished speaking, the man pulled her closer to his arms.

He then looked up at the doorway.

"Shadow Falcon".

A moment later, the Shadow Falcon stood at the door.

"Your Highness."

"Take stock of the mansion and see what's missing."

Shadow Falcon responded and turned to leave.

The door closed.

Su Wuli looked up at them from his arms.

Yu Chen didn't ask who the person was, what they looked like, or what they were doing there.

As if sensing her gaze, Yu Chen lowered his head and rubbed his thumb against her cheek.

"Were you scared?"

Su Wuli shook her head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He said, hugging her tighter.

Afterwards, Qiaosheng and the others ordered some snacks. When Su Wuli saw the two looking at her, she thought about getting off the man's lap.

However, Yu Chen stopped her as soon as she made a move, and Qiao Sheng and the other two only glanced at her when they came in.

He kept his head down the whole time, and left immediately after finishing the setup.

The pastries were small and exquisite; Su Wuli's eyes narrowed after taking a bite.

She was chewing on a snack when she suddenly remembered something and looked up at him.

"Do you want some?" she asked, handing over the half-eaten piece she was holding.

Yu Chen looked down at it, then opened his mouth and took a bite.

Su Wuli watched as he bit down on the spot where she had bitten him, and was about to pull her hand back.

Suddenly everything went black.

Yu Chen's face blurred in my sight, and then disappeared completely.

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to him, but no sound came out.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar ceiling of the apartment.

A little light was letting in through the drawn curtains; it must be morning.

Su Wuli lay on the bed, stunned for a while.

Then she slowly looked down at herself, still wearing the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

She raised her hand, and her sleeve slid down, revealing a section of her wrist.

Su Wuli exhaled and slowly sat up.

The phone was on the bedside table; she picked it up and glanced at it.

The date hasn't changed, but the time shows 7 AM.

She stared at those numbers for a long time.

Although a day and a night had passed in Yu Chen's world, it was still only one night to her.

The timeframes are unequal.

Su Wuli put down her phone and looked down at the ancient costume she was wearing.

He then took it off, folded it neatly, and put it at the very back of the wardrobe.

……

He went to the film set to shoot as usual for the next few days.

I spend my days on set, and my nights back at the hotel, where I lie down and fall asleep.

But I didn't dream.

Su Wuli was already used to the fact that there was no pattern to it.

The film crew moved locations, shot night scenes, did reshoots, and conducted interviews.

My schedule is packed.

Su Wuli spent her days shuttling between these matters.

That evening, she finished work earlier than usual and went back to the hotel to take a shower.

Because I've had so many engagements lately, and I soaked in warm water for a long time, I felt completely limp when I came out.

She came out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel, her hair still dripping wet.

But the next second he froze.

There was a person sitting on the bed.

He was looking at her at that moment.

Yu Chen.

He just stared at her without making a move.

Su Wuli was stunned and didn't move for a moment.

My mind went blank for several seconds before I finally realized what was happening.

She hadn't had time to sleep yet, so she didn't dream.

So he... he really is.

He just sat there on her bed, completely out of place in the room.

His gaze slowly moved down from her face.

Water droplets dripped from the ends of Su Wuli's hair, landing on her collarbone, sliding down that line, and disappearing at the edge of the bath towel across her chest.

Yu Chen's gaze followed the drop of water.

very slow.

Su Wuli noticed that she felt hot all over from that gaze as she stood there.

She was clearly wrapped in a bath towel, but it felt like she wasn't wrapped in anything at all.

Finally, the man's gaze returned to her face.

"come over."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli did not act immediately.

My legs felt a little weak for some reason, and I thought it was because I had soaked in the bath for too long.

Yu Chen didn't say anything more, but instead extended his hand.

Su Wuli was all too familiar with that hand.

The joints are distinct, and the fingertips are rough.

She unconsciously took steps toward him.

She walked to the bedside and stood in front of him.

He was sitting, she was standing.

Water was still dripping from the ends of her hair, with a drop landing on the back of the man's outstretched hand.

Just as Su Wuli was about to speak, Yu Chen grabbed her wrist.

With a gentle pull.

She fell forward and landed in his arms.

The bath towel was a little loose.

The man's hands were around her waist, his palms pressed against her back, and they were a little hot.

Su Wuli nestled in his arms, her face pressed against his chest.

"Wear this?" Yu Chen asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli paused, then looked down at herself.

He was wrapped in a bath towel, but large areas of skin were exposed from his shoulders to his collarbone and from his collarbone to his back.

Water droplets still clung to his palm, making it damp.

Su Wuli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she secretly buried her face in his shoulder.

"I just finished showering..." Her voice muffled on his shoulder.

Yu Chen didn't reply, but Su Wuli felt his gaze slowly moving down from the back of her neck.

That gaze was so warm it felt almost tangible, burning her so much she dared not move.

His hands were still around her waist, tightening a little.

He then lowered his head and captured her lips with his.

It entangled her very deeply.

"Well……"

As he kissed her, Su Wuli's hands instinctively reached up to the back of his neck.

The bath towel had loosened a little more.

She felt a chill and instinctively reached out to pull him, but the man's hand grabbed her wrist first.

Yu Chen released her lips and moved them away slightly.

"Never mind."

When she met his gaze, Su Wuli's heart pounded wildly.

His gaze fell on her shoulder, where water droplets were still slowly sliding down.

Then he lowered his head and kissed that spot.

Then continue downwards.

Su Wuli tilted her head back, her breath trembling uncontrollably.

She was so weak from his kisses that she clung to the back of his neck and hung in his arms.

The bath towel had loosened a little more.
