I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 125 - 90: Nian Xia’s Summer_2

"I didn’t expect Young Master Gu... to actually have such a preference, and to even be taken by the male prostitutes of our Magpie Workshop. Market Master, you’re truly impressive."

Nian Xia sighed, recalling the look on Rong Heng’s face when he rushed to explain to Gu Lan earlier. She gently shook the Brocade Peony Round Fan in her hand and remarked, "Whether Young Master Gu actually has this preference is another matter... I’m more concerned about who got planted, I’m afraid not Wu..."

Exactly what kind of liking it might be, Wu didn’t answer her.

Rong Heng directly carried Gu Lan into his private room here, removed the sword she was carrying, and gently placed her on the couch.

Gu Lan clung to his neck unwilling to move until Rong Heng said, "Be good." Only then did Young Master Gu obediently let go.

Rong Heng sat on the chair by the bed, looking at her deeply.

Gu Lan was fast asleep, her brows relaxed, shedding her rebelliousness, with her hands placed on either side of her body, looking obedient and beautiful.

His throat felt a bit dry, and he suddenly stood up and walked out.

He couldn’t keep looking.

It was just an accident, and Gu Lan clearly didn’t take it seriously, still sleeping so soundly.

There was still some time before 9 p.m., and Rong Heng furrowed his brows and directly called for You Ying.

"Master, do you have any orders?" You Ying asked.

"The ice you got for Nian Xia before, bring some more." Rong Heng looked at the door and said hoarsely.

You Ying was stunned for a moment, his cold face showing a bit of concern and guilt, and he said in a low voice, "But hasn’t the Market Master’s poison been neutralized yet? It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t gone out yesterday, the Market Master wouldn’t have been poisoned..."

Rong Heng raised his eyes, with a burning fire in his dark gaze.

"I soak."

"Oh, that’s good... huh?"

You Ying nodded and was about to leave, suddenly realizing, but upon seeing Rong Heng’s somber face, he silently gave up on asking.

The Master seemed like he was drugged too... but shouldn’t be, right?

Shortly, Rong Heng soaked himself in cold water in another room.

The ice-cold water poured over him, extinguishing the fire kindled in his eyes bit by bit, allowing his rationality to return.

However, the scene of Gu Lan kissing him lingered in front of his eyes, no matter what he did.

"Brother..."

Rong Heng murmured softly, clenching his fist tightly.

Gu Lan is a brother,

someone he decided to protect.

How could he...

He should have pushed Gu Lan away; she’s still a child. What if she misunderstood... why did he hold her head back then!

Rong Heng took a deep breath and splashed another ladle of ice water over his head.

Tomorrow, should he kiss Rong Shuo to see his reaction? Then learn how to be a good brother?

Meanwhile, Nian Xia walked to Gu Lan’s door.

You Ying, following Rong Heng’s orders, stood guard outside the door. Seeing Nian Xia, his hawk-like eyes flickered with a touch of gentleness: "Market Master."

Nian Xia blinked, her gaze complicated, and asked, "Is there no noise inside?"

"What noise?" You Ying asked, puzzled.

"Like... the sound of either Rong Heng or Young Master Gu."

You Ying scratched his head, answering, "The Master put down Young Master Gu and ran next door; he seems to be poisoned and asked for your ice water to soak in. As for Young Master Gu, he should still be sleeping."

"Pfft, soaking in ice water? Quite the move from him—" Nian Xia almost burst out laughing, "Maybe he can’t handle it."

Then, she started to worry.

Rong Heng was stirred up by a drunken Young Master Gu...

Should she be glad that Wu is finally confirmed to be a normal person with flesh and emotions, or should she be worried—

Indeed, it was time for Rong Heng to marry, but Young Master Gu is a man! What kind of sin is this!

Nian Xia was extremely conflicted, contemplating over and over again, feeling she had to test the waters for Rong Heng.

"Young Master is drunk; I’ll take care of him. You go add some hot water for Rong Heng and tell him that water is really cold. If there’s no illness, don’t soak in it blindly, and if he feels bad, can’t he just take care of it himself to be well-fed and warm?"

You Ying asked confusedly, "Take care of it himself to be well-fed and warm? What does that mean?"

"You tell him, he’ll understand."

As Nian Xia spoke, she was about to push the door open and go in.

You Ying instinctively blocked her, gently persuading, "Market Master, indeed Gu Lan is drunk... but your medicine’s toxicity hasn’t been neutralized; you should rest more, let me take care of her."

Nian Xia raised her gaze, her eyes tender and captivating, and said lightly, "I just want this little fresh meat to detox, so what?"

Her words sounded indifferent and casual, as if said in jest, but You Ying knew she genuinely could do it.

A dull pain flashed in You Ying’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The Master said, for three days, you cannot... entertain guests."
