Chapter 15 Blushing with Embarrassment

  The Ning Lord, as described by her elder brother, was supposed to be passionate and righteous. Therefore, the incense she made was based on the main note of repose incense, exuding a just and enthusiastic aura. However, it was evident that this fragrance did not match the temperament of this so-called Ning Lord.

  Passionate and righteous, my foot. Bai Qingqing only found the man before her to be dangerous and wicked, not daring to meet his gaze for too long. Her brother’s judgment of people had never been this inaccurate before, had it?

  "Incense? Hand it over and let me see."

  Bai Qingqing took the incense from Zidai and passed it to him. Ning Yan opened it, quickly furrowed his brows, and tossed it back into her hands. "It’s indeed unsuitable. I don’t like the scent."

  She thought as much.

  Having lost interest, Ning Yan turned to leave. He never needed gifts or tributes. But just as he was about to step away, his sleeve was suddenly tugged by Bai Qingqing.

  The people behind Ning Yan were so shocked their mouths opened in silent disbelief. Whose young dy was this? Did she not value her life? How dare she be so disrespectful to the Lord?

  A hint of danger flickered in Ning Yan’s eyes, but his gaze dropped to the small hand gripping his sleeve. The bright red of her dress made her fair skin stand out even more. Her fingers were round and soft, and perhaps out of nervousness, her fingertips were slightly pale and trembling.

  Bai Qingqing was oblivious to the tense atmosphere. She simply didn’t want to leave empty-handed. Seeing him about to go, she instinctively reached out.

  "Ning Lord, I don’t know your name yet. Since you don’t like this scent, I’ll remake it and send you another one. How about that?"

  Her rge eyes locked onto Ning Yan, and when she said “how about that,” her voice was soft and sweet, like cotton candy soaked in sugar—tender and warm.

  Ning Yan suddenly leaned in, his lips nearly brushing against her ear. She instinctively wanted to step back, but then she heard him say, "My name is not one to be spoken too loudly."

  Bai Qingqing resisted the urge to run and stood still, yet her ears grew hot uncontrolbly.

  "My name is Ning Yan. Remember it."

  After speaking, he didn’t straighten up immediately. Instead, he lowered his head further and took a deep breath. His voice turned husky.

  "You smell good. This scent, I like it."

  Bai Qingqing’s mind went bnk. Her hand loosened unconsciously as she watched Ning Yan walk into the Jin Yiwei yamen. Stunned, she muttered to Zidai to support her.

  The moment Zidai held her arm, Bai Qingqing’s legs gave out. If not for Zidai, she would have embarrassed herself by colpsing onto the ground.

  How could such a man exist?!

  Inside the Jin Yiwei yamen, Ning Yan walked toward the inner hall.

  "Call Ning Zhao here."

  In no time, Ning Zhao came trotting over. "Uncle, you called for me?"

  Ning Yan tossed a scroll into his hands. "Pack up and set off immediately. Investigate this case thoroughly. If you can pin down the Cheng family, you’ll earn merit."

  Ning Zhao secured the scroll and asked, "Uncle, you just returned to Xuan City, and His Majesty already assigned you a task? How long will you be staying this time?"

  "I’ll be staying in Xuan City for a while. Might as well clean things up a bit while I’m here."

  Ning Yan smirked, and Ning Zhao instantly tensed. He would have to warn the others to behave themselves. If they ended up in his uncle’s hands, they’d be skinned alive!

  But…

  "Uncle, why do I feel like you’re even more wicked than usual today? Did something good happen?"

  Ning Yan turned his head to look at him. Ning Zhao shivered, immediately bolting out the door. "I need to pack up. I’m leaving now!"

  Ning Yan withdrew his gaze and absentmindedly pyed with a paperweight in his hand. The cold touch of the object reminded him of the scent he had captured from Bai Qingqing—sweet but not overwhelming, gentle and elegant, making him want to indulge just a little more…
