After getting on the carriage, Yan Jinyuan didn't say a word. She leaned against the window, and wherever her gaze touched the window, there was only coldness. Han Yichen was shocked and called out gently, "Yuan …"

Yan Jinyuan was so immersed in her own world that she couldn't even hear the words of the people around her. "Yuan, Yuan …" Han Yichen called out twice. Yan Jinyuan raised her head and looked at him. There was no change in her expression. Han Yichen's heart sank.

He didn't know what Yan Jinyuan and Yan Ze were talking about, but he could tell that Yan Jinyuan's mood was worse than anything else.

"Yuan, what happened?" Han Yichen looked at the person in front of him and an indescribable pain flashed across his eyes.

Yan Jinyuan had no time to pay attention to him as she just sat there quietly. From the beginning to the end, she did not move at all. The aura she gave off from her body was even colder than the snow outside.

Han Yichen walked up to her and pulled her hand. He wanted to tell her that he was still here, but when he felt the coldness on her fingertip, his pupils suddenly sank.

There was already enough charcoal burning in the car, and Yan Jinyuan's hands were still cold. Han Yichen then said to Little Chang Ann outside, "This car is not warm enough, go add more charcoal."

He was afraid that Yan Jinyuan would be sick by the time Little Chang Ann finished burning charcoal. He quickly breathed deeply into her hand.

As she let Han Yichen breath into her hands, Yan Jinyuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Even she herself didn't know why this was happening.

"How is it? Do you still feel cold? "Do you want to add another piece of cotton-padded jacket?" Han Yichen said to her while taking a deep breath. Without waiting for Yan Jinyuan's reaction, he instructed Si Qin who was standing outside, "Add another cotton jacket for Yuan."

He had prepared it before he arrived, and had put some of his winter clothes in the trunk of the car, which was useful.

Little Chang Ann's coal was slowly ignited. The interior of the car was warm, but Yan Jinyuan's hands were still cold. Han Yichen caressed her forehead worriedly. The temperature was just right, she wasn't sick.

After Si Qin had delivered the clothes, he put them on for her and said with a smile, "I can't possibly stay cold this time!"

His words caressed her ear like a warm sun on a winter night, slowly eroding her cold heart.

Looking at her expression, Han Yichen couldn't help but feel sad. He picked up her black hair and said: "If you don't like it, then we won't come back in the future."

"Look at you. You cried so much today that your eyes are red. There are still some traces left of you. When you go back, ask Si Qin to cook an egg for you. It will definitely be beautiful again the next day." Han Yichen said.

Then she picked up a book beside her. Yan Jinyuan had left it on the car when she brought it here today. "Don't you love reading books? Let me read it with you."

He read it over and over again. His gentle voice was like the warm sun after a harsh winter. It seemed to want to melt the pure white snow. Yan Jinyuan had already recovered her wits. She stared at his rolling Adam's apple in a daze.

There was a flash of warmth in his eyes. Han Yichen seemed to have noticed it too. He raised his head and looked at her with a tenderness that he had never felt before.

"What happened today, why did you …" His voice was magnetic, seductive, and it stunned her.

In her impression, Han Yichen had always been the little overlord in others' eyes. He had a mouth that could choke a man to death. She actually felt no inconsistency with his concern for her.

Yan Jinyuan's eyes instantly became cold again. She didn't want to talk about Yan Ze, and even more so, she didn't want to recall that terrible past.

Seeing this, Han Yichen didn't say anything else, instead, he wrapped up the cotton-padded jacket around her body and nagged her to take good care of her body. Yan Jinyuan looked at this man who could be called her husband and her face quickly warmed up.

It was like a spring breeze caressing her cheeks with the sunlight, causing her to relax for a moment. It was as if as long as he was there, everything would be over.

Yan Jinyuan was surprised by her own thoughts. At the same time, she warned herself not to have any emotional entanglement with Han Yichen, or else, in the end, it would hurt their hearts.

Han Yichen also knew that she was in a bad mood, so he picked up another book and started reading it softly. His voice was pleasant to the ear and caused ripples to appear in Yan Jinyuan's ears.

It was snowing heavily outside, and inside, the sound of gentle reading could be heard. This added a touch of warmth to the harsh winter.

After he finished reading, Han Yichen closed the book and tightly held onto Yan Jinyuan, as if he wanted to tell her that he was still there. When he caught her attention, Han Yichen's slightly moving lips closed again.

"Let me lean on you for a bit." This was the first thing she said since they got on the car. Her hoarse voice sounded. Han Yichen was very happy as he quickly hugged her.

Han Yichen's big arms tightly wrapped around her, but she actually didn't reject him at all. Instead, she felt that this hug was very warm. This wasn't the first time she hugged someone, but only when she was in Han Yichen's arms did she feel at ease.

Perhaps it was because the empress dowager's embrace was warm, or perhaps it was because all these years, she had lived too long and unknowingly fell asleep in Han Yichen's embrace.

The corner of Han Yichen's mouth slightly raised, feeling a burst of satisfaction in his heart, but after a while, the carriage arrived at Prime Minister Mansion, Little Chang Ann's voice transmitted through the curtain, and then the curtain was lifted.

Looking at Yan Jinyuan who was in Han Yichen's arms, everyone was at a loss of what to do. Han Yichen coldly glanced at them, calmly picked up Yan Jinyuan, and then slowly walked toward Fanghua Garden.

Along the way, when maidservant saw this scene, she didn't dare to say a word. She just knelt down one after the other and bowed. Behind them, the gazes of the crowd intertwined until the two of them disappeared.

When the mama saw Yan Jinyuan in Han Yichen's arms from a distance, she was overjoyed. Ever since they got married, the two of them had never slept with each other before.

Seeing Yan Jinyuan's sleeping face, Han Yichen instructed the people in the courtyard not to make any noise. He gently put her back on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Just as he was about to leave, a pair of slender white hands grabbed him.

Yan Jinyuan inadvertently put in a lot of effort, no matter how Han Yichen tried, he couldn't tear it off. Helpless, Han Yichen could only take off his jacket and sleep with her.

In a daze, Yan Jinyuan touched a stove. She felt extremely warm, so she kept digging into Han Yichen's chest. Han Yichen had suffered greatly, and he didn't sleep well that night.

On the other hand, ever since she lost her family, this was the safest sleep she had ever had. So much so that she didn't even know that Han Yichen had slept here last night.

The mama walked in happily. She thought that she would see the red bedsheets, but she didn't expect that other than some wrinkles on them, there was nothing else.

"Young Madame …" The mama turned pale with fright as she looked at the scene before her. She couldn't believe it. Yan Jinyuan turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The eldest young master was sleeping here last night, why did you …" Only then did Yan Jinyuan remember that she slept in Han Yichen's arms yesterday. She estimated that the stove she bumped into last night was Han Yichen.

"Yes, is there anything else?" Yan Jinyuan didn't care at all. Her face was unperturbed, but at the sight of this, the mama withdrew.

Little did she know that her words had long been heard by someone, and had spread out in an instant. Even within the Fanghua Garden, there were some idle chatter.

In the courtyard, the two maidservant who were sweeping the courtyard were whispering to each other. Upon seeing this, the rest of the people, maidservant stepped forward and inquired.

"What are you all chattering about here!"

The other maidservant looked at her and said, "Do you know about the matter where Eldest Young Master rested at Young Madame's place last night?"

maidservant nodded and said, "That's a good thing!"

"Good news?" Then do you know that the two of them didn't get along? This matter has been spread throughout the palace. "

Hearing this, the group of people were so shocked that their jaws almost fell off. maidservant, who was one of the newcomers, said timidly, "That's impossible, Young Madame is so beautiful that it's impossible for the eldest young master not to be tempted."

The other maidservant looked at her in disdain, while the other maidservant said in disdain, "What do you know? Someone as hot-blooded as the Eldest Young Master must be because Young Madame couldn't catch his interest, that's why she is acting like this, you know! "

With that said, it made sense. Other than maidservant just now, everyone else deeply agreed. If they were to say Young Madame had no charisma, then Young Madame was the only one with no charisma.

"What are you talking about? You don't even need to work anymore? " Along the way, Si Qin heard a few coats talking bad about her young miss, and she almost died from anger.

Everyone was afraid of Si Qin. After all, she was the first-rate maidservant beside Yan Jinyuan. No matter what, she was still better than these sweeping maidservant.

The crowd dispersed like a swarm of bees, leaving Si Qin alone in her original spot. Her eyes were about to spew fire. This group of reckless maidservant dared to speak ill of her young miss, she would definitely seek justice for her young miss.

At this moment, Yan Jinyuan walked out, not knowing what had happened. Si Qin was so angry that she was on the verge of tears. Under her interrogation, Si Qin explained everything in detail.

Yan Jinyuan smiled faintly and said: "If they want to say it, then let them. Let's go to Backyard Garden and take a look at the scenery."

Seeing that, Si Qin had no choice but to follow along. Along the way, maidservant's servants kept staring at Yan Jinyuan with strange expressions. Si Qin was so angry that she yelled, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go to work. "

Yan Jinyuan was very helpless. The two of them walked into the Backyard Garden, but never would they have thought that after hearing that maidservant and the others discussed their own matters behind the fake mountain, they all said that she could not pique Han Yichen's interest.

Si Qin was the most irritable of them all. She didn't think much of it. If these people wanted to say something, they could just let them say it.

"Miss … Can't you say something? " Si Qin was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.

"Hmm, what do you want me to say?" Yan Jinyuan said without turning her head as she picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth.
