Most of those possessions had been lost over time, but he still knew how to care for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two went about their respective tasks. As the afternoon wore on, the anger born from her midday embarrassment had long since vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Jiaojiao finished preparing the soap mixture, she needed to pour it into the molds. Seeing this, Leng Yuan stepped forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task required no special skill, so Gu Jiaojiao didn’t even have to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she watched Leng Yuan work, an idea suddenly struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, what do you think? For the facial soap, could I find a few trustworthy people to help? I’d pay them a wage, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making the soap wasn’t complicated, but brewing the herbs was time-consuming. If she could find someone to take over that part, it would make her life so much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of delegation was second nature to her, a part of the mindset she’d grown up with. If it weren’t for the restrictions of the current era, she would have hired help long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, it would all have to be done in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan had no objection, but he did propose a crucial condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll help you find people. How about you wear that dress for me tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dream on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blush that had faded from Gu Jiaojiao’s cheeks came rushing back at his words. Annoyed and embarrassed, she shot back two words and retreated to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That does it,’ she decided. ’I’m not talking to him anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan wasn’t concerned. He calmly poured all the soap mixture into the molds, then weighed them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had tidied up everything in the courtyard, he went into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao, however, was still fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This man is always so calm and composed, as if he has everything under control.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, I’m not falling for it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That night.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they lay in bed, the man suddenly rolled on top of her. Gu Jiaojiao froze for a second, her face instantly turning beet red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position was incredibly suggestive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hands, about to push him off, when he suddenly leaned in close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiaojiao, why are you blushing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao bit her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As if he doesn’t know.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’d be stranger if I *wasn’t* blushing in this position!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get off me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her flustered and timid expression, a smile involuntarily touched the corners of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan rarely smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he did, the effect was devastating. Gu Jiaojiao found herself staring, completely captivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「After a wild night.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao was absolutely furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man... he’d actually used his good looks to seduce her last night, knowing full well that his face was her biggest weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wasn’t that how it was the first time? A total lapse in judgment because of his looks.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he’d figured it out and was deliberately using it to his advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she, completely unable to resist that face of his, had dazedly sold herself out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, she immediately went back to bed to catch up on sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「And so, three days passed in a daze.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facial soaps were ready to be removed from their molds.\u003C\u002Fp>",641,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","b106c4362be314c3061c19d8ecaa2d8f852d599b62ccbd7f5a5561d43df02c17","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-208","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-206",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
