Chapter 1654

She even had to consider how to eliminate them after utilizing them.

Otherwise, she did not believe Gu Hanyuan would be merciful to her.

Even if she had served him with all her heart.

Lin Xian'er looked with shame and annoyance at the bedding and sheets that had turned into a quagmire.

These were all her own masterpieces.

After all, when a person is suffocating, muscles inevitably relax.

As a result, she now had to face this scene of shame and fury.

Yet, she couldn't let the maids come in to clean up and had to secretly find an opportunity to dispose of it.

As for the matters Gu Hanyuan entrusted to her, she could only wait until tomorrow to do them.

What she needed most now was a good day of rest.

Not only because of exhaustion, but also because she couldn't even speak clearly now.

Gu Hanyuan did not return to the guest room to rest.

He was standing in the courtyard, deep in thought.

Logically, Lin Xian'er was at her most perfect moment, and Gu Hanyuan could have easily possessed her.

However, he knew Lin Xian'er's nature very well; she would not restrain herself just because he was her first man.

She would only more wildly utilize Gu Hanyuan to raise her own value.

Lin Xian'er only ever cared about herself.

This can be seen from the fact that she had entanglements with both Li Xunhuan and Afei, and while her role in the plot was not small, she lacked the series of evaluations belonging to a heroine.

Therefore, one cannot be too casual with Lin Xian'er, otherwise, there is no guarantee when she might slip out of control.

The results of last night's operation, which triggered Lin Xian'er's Stockholm syndrome, were remarkable.

The more selfish a person is, the more they cherish their life.

After repeatedly endangering her life and then giving limited rewards, she became significantly more obedient.

The scale of the rewards must be grasped well; neither too much nor too little.

Subtly changing Lin Xian'er's values.

Making her view being conquered as an honor and chase after more rewards.

Before that, her pure body became a guarantee, restraining her from acting recklessly in secret.

Whether it is good or bad that Lin Xian'er has not yet become the woman who is indiscriminate in the plot.

The good part is that her value is much higher, and she is smart, so she won't be easily discarded.

The bad part is that the plan needs to be adjusted to a certain extent.

Handing over the work that originally belonged to the "Luo Wang" to Lin Xian'er.

If she can do it well, that's best, and it proves Lin Xian'er's value.

If she can't do it well, Gu Hanyuan can just finish it himself at the end.

But by then, Lin Xian'er could only be reduced to a mere plaything.

The sky was brightening.

Gu Hanyuan, who was deep in thought, suddenly revealed a smile.

Immediately after, he was hugged from behind by a petite figure.

"Master, why did you get up so early? I wanted to go call you."

Long Xiaoyun rubbed her still-sleepy eyes, pressed her small face against Gu Hanyuan's back, sniffed the reassuring scent on him, and revealed a happy smile.

Long Xiaoyun, who went to sleep early yesterday, also got up early today.

To see Gu Hanyuan sooner, she even broke her habit of staying in bed.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan in the courtyard, she hugged him very naturally.

Clearly, she was now genuinely close to Gu Hanyuan from the heart.

Gu Hanyuan stretched his arms and pulled Long Xiaoyun's petite body from behind to his front.

He reached out to knead her tender little face and said with a light laugh:

"What? You wanted to play a prank while I was asleep?"

Long Xiaoyun, wearing a fiery red "Fire-Washing Skirt," was as delicate and cute as a morning fire sprite.

She was shaken out of her sleepiness by Gu Hanyuan's face-kneading action and said coquettishly:

"No way! I just wanted to see Master sooner..."

However, as she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but look away guiltily; clearly, she had been guessed correctly by Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan did not argue with her about this mischievous thought and said leisurely:

"A day's plan starts in the morning. Since you're up early, I'll start guiding your cultivation."

Long Xiaoyun's spirit jolted upon hearing this, and she happily agreed.

One teaching, one learning, time passed very quickly.

Long Xiaoyun began to enter meditation in the courtyard to cultivate the "I Ching Bone-Forging Chapter."

Gu Hanyuan's expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look.

He saw a graceful woman walking slowly with somewhat hesitant steps.

Wearing a treasure-blue sleeve-and-skirt dress, she had a slim figure and a dignified temperament.

Her pretty face, without any makeup, had a trace of haggardness.

It made one wonder if she hadn't slept well at all last night.

The woman was none other than Lin Shiyin, whom Gu Hanyuan had left out in the cold for the night.

Lin Shiyin saw Long Xiaoyun meditating and Gu Hanyuan guarding her from afar.

And what made Lin Shiyin's steps so hesitant was Gu Hanyuan, who had already turned his head to watch her.

Lin Shiyin's expression was somewhat awkward, and she hesitated to greet him in a low voice:

"Young Master Gu..."

Gu Hanyuan looked at her with an inexplicable meaning and lowered his voice:

"Do not disturb Xiaoyun. Let's talk over there."

As he said this, he took her hand before Lin Shiyin could react and pulled her away from Long Xiaoyun.

The warmth from her fair hand made Lin Shiyin's pretty face turn red instantly.

Lin Shiyin had the heart to resist such an overly intimate action, but how could she break free from Gu Hanyuan's hand?

The two arrived at a pavilion.

The distance from Long Xiaoyun was neither far nor near.

They could see her condition to avoid any mishaps, and it wouldn't disturb her.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan stop, Lin Shiyin hurriedly said:

"Young Master Gu, can you let me go first?"

Gu Hanyuan looked at her weak, pretty face, which carried a pleading meaning, and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful arc.

Not only did he not let go of Lin Shiyin's hand, but he said meaningfully:

"Is Madam blaming me for not keeping the appointment last night?"

The sentence instantly caused Lin Shiyin to blush furiously. ===== CHAPTER 1656 =====
