Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

Chapter 217: Chapter 217 The Handsome Man in Light Gauze Clothing

Mu Yan sneered coldly, "I never claimed to be a gentleman, with a beauty in front, of course, I think of what a normal man would want to do."

Zhan Lan frowned and looked at Mu Yan, the next moment, her hands grabbed Mu Yan’s collar, and Mu Yan was suddenly pulled in front of her.

Originally calm, Mu Yan was suddenly overwhelmed by the feminine fragrance emanating from Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan’s warm breath brushed against his nose; their lips were merely a finger’s distance away, close enough to touch.

Mu Yan’s ears instantly turned red; he could only hear his own fierce heartbeat.

What is Zhan Lan trying to do?

Zhan Lan’s hands loosened, and she smiled with a curl of her lips.

The next moment, she forcefully tugged and ripped open Mu Yan’s clothes, exposing his chest and abdominal muscles.

Mu Yan was shocked and dismayed; has Zhan Lan gone mad?

What is she trying to do?

Mu Yan broke free from her hold and pulled his clothes back up.

Zhan Lan’s lips curled into a smile as she stepped closer to Mu Yan, who stepped back until Zhan Lan had him pressed against the table.

Zhan Lan looked up and tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "Your ears are red!"

Mu Yan deliberately avoided looking at her; suddenly, Zhan Lan’s cheek rested against his chest.

The air froze momentarily; the shadows of the two closely adjoining bodies flickered under the candlelight.

Mu Yan tensed up, Zhan Lan pressed against his chest, listening to his heart beating furiously.

Mu Yan pushed her away angrily, "Zhan Lan, are you not afraid that I..."

Zhan Lan raised her right hand, holding a pink sachet, and said with a smile, "And you say you don’t like me, yet why is my sachet with you!"

Mu Yan looked at the ugly duckling on the sachet that seemed to be quacking and mocking him.

Mu Yan snatched the sachet from Zhan Lan’s hand, "So this is yours!"

Zhan Lan tilted her head, looking at him with a sly smile, "Stop pretending, you like me, don’t you?"

Zhan Lan was pulled into an embrace by his arm, Mu Yan said with a nonchalant air, "I’m going to sleep, do you want to stay and serve?"

Their bodies pressed tightly against each other, Zhan Lan pushed him away and said, "I’m leaving!"

With that, she ran off like a bolt of lightning.

Mu Yan watched her retreat with a smile curling the corners of his mouth, showing the first genuine smile of the day.

He looked down at the sachet in his hand, "Little girl is really both naughty and playful!"

Silly woman, still trying to test whether I like her or not?

Zhan Lan, with flushed cheeks, returned to her own residence, and upon entering, saw Chu Yin, who had fallen asleep waiting for her.

"Why did you come back so late?" Zhan Lan stroked Chu Yin’s head.

Chu Yin groggily opened her eyes and saw Zhan Lan, "Why is your face so red, did you get frozen?"

Zhan Lan coughed awkwardly, "Maybe!"

"I’ve spoken to mom and dad, you’re going to Heifeng Pass. I’ll keep you company tonight!"

Zhan Lan’s lips twitched, "That sounds a bit odd!"

Chu Yin grinned slyly, "Come on, I’ll take you to a good place!"

Then, Zhan Lan and Chu Yin sat down in a place called the Immortal Music Workshop.

Zhan Lan surveyed the surroundings; the two entered a private room tastefully decorated with a very intimate atmosphere.

"Did you bring me here to drink?" Zhan Lan asked curiously.

Chu Yin smiled without saying a word, and clapped her hands twice, only to see a group of beautiful men dressed in light, translucent garments filing in.

Zhan Lan was startled, a total of ten men, each one handsome.

Then, the sounds of the pipa and guzheng rose, and six men in light ink-painted long robes began to dance gracefully before them.

Zhan Lan’s eyebrows were nearly knitted together, Chu Yin elbowed her, "How about that? The noble ladies of Ding’an City recently really enjoy watching these performers dance."

Zhan Lan looked at Chu Yin, "You really do come up with one idea after another."

Chu Yin pressed Zhan Lan’s hand, saying earnestly, "Don’t worry, this place is absolutely secretive, no one knows we’ve come here. If men can enjoy watching songstresses dance, can’t we ladies appreciate these handsome men dancing?"

Chu Yin stared at the wide shoulders and narrow waists of the beautiful men, excited beyond measure.

Zhan Lan massaged her temples feeling a headache coming on, as a handsome man came over to pour her a cup of tea and Chu Yin a cup of wine.

"Ladies, please enjoy!"

After saying this, the man’s cool voice still carried a hint of coyness, as he flashed a smile at Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan felt goosebumps all over her body.

Chu Yin cheerfully sipped her wine, and in no time her cheeks turned red.

With the fluttering sheer curtains and the dancers’ long robes flying, the candles flickering inside the room, Zhan Lan gradually got into the spirit, feeling the joy of the men.

No wonder men enjoyed watching songstresses dance, it truly was a delightful sight!

Zhan Lan drank the warm tea, forgetting all her troubles.

Seeing that Zhan Lan was enjoying herself, Chu Yin poured her a cup of wine.

Zhan Lan declined, "I’ve caught a cold, no more for me."

Chu Yin puckered her lips, "You’re really missing out, their dancing is too good, I really like it!"

Chu Yin swung her hands from side to side, her smile broadening, dimples deepening.

Zhan Lan looked at her increasingly blurred eyes and said, "Finish this bit of wine, and then come home with me, heard me?"

Chu Yin responded discontentedly, "That’s not like you, you used to fight with me over drinks, what’s wrong with you lately? Tell me."

Zhan Lan, staring at Chu Yin’s questioning expression, coughed and said, "I have a friend who’s been a bit confused lately, she saw a man and her heart rate sped up, does that mean she likes him?"

Chu Yin thought seriously for a moment, then her cheeks reddened, "When I see Zhan Hui, my heart certainly speeds up."

Zhan Lan resting her chin in her hand said, "My friend, and that man... they kissed, and she didn’t reject him, is that a sign she likes him?"

Chu Yin’s cheeks turned crimson, remembering the day Zhan Hui kissed her, she suddenly looked at Zhan Lan and said, "Zhan Lan, you’re terrible, that friend you’re talking about is me, isn’t it? You’re teasing me again!"

Chu Yin’s little fists pounded on Zhan Lan’s arm, Zhan Lan saw Chu Yin’s cheeks flush, could it be that she and Zhan Hui...

Zhan Lan teased her deliberately, "Chu Yin, did my big brother kiss you?"

The next moment, Chu Yin covered Zhan Lan’s mouth with her hand, "No way, nothing like that, don’t spout nonsense, we’re innocent!"

Zhan Lan, seeing Chu Yin’s ears turn red, smiled and said, "I understand, I believe you!"

"You believe me? Why are you smiling so weird!" Chu Yin’s speech was starting to slur.

Zhan Lan laughed, "Oh, you’re strange, can’t I laugh now? Just look, my brother is coming!"

Chu Yin suddenly became alert, her eyes blurry, her expression tense as she looked towards the door, "Where is he?"

Zhan Lan laughed so hard she was bending over backward, "Scared now? Scared he’ll come to catch you!"

Chu Yin straightened her back and said, "Those performers only sell their talents not their bodies, what do I have to fear!"

She patted her meager chest and said, "I’m not afraid!"

Thump!

The door was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and a man stood at the doorway, gritting his teeth, "Chu Yin!"
