"Lady Ningguang, you..." Baiwen looked at Ningguang in front of him with some hesitation, then glanced at Stelle and Shenhe beside him.
"Alright, I understand, Lady Ningguang."
Baiwen finally nodded, although he didn't understand why Ningguang made such a decision.
No one was allowed to disturb them, and no maids were allowed into the main residence... He could understand these, because Miss Stelle would most likely stay in Lady Ningguang's room tonight.
Even if Ningguang himself didn't instruct, Baiwen would still remind the maids not to disturb them tonight.
Otherwise, if they accidentally stumbled upon an embarrassing scene, it would be over.
But who could explain to him why Shenhe also had to stay in Ningguang's main residence?
Shouldn't Lady Ningguang arrange him in some obscure corner?
Alright, even if Lady Ningguang was kind, or rather, confident in himself and didn't put competitors in his eyes.
He shouldn't let the other party live so close to him; how would they do things at night then?
There weren't many rooms in this main residence; besides Ningguang's bedroom, there were only one or two guest rooms.
No matter which one, the distance from Ningguang's bedroom was not far. If any loud noises were made, with Shenhe the Adeptus Disciple's strength, he would definitely be able to detect them.
Could it be that Lady Ningguang did this just to intentionally intimidate Shenhe and declare his sovereignty...
Baiwen was utterly puzzled, but as a secretary, he could only follow Ningguang's arrangements.
After everything was arranged, Baiwen returned to his room, feeling a little tired.
There were many employees on Qunyu Pavilion, so there were also dedicated staff dormitories.
As one of Ningguang's confidantes, he, Baishi, and Baixiao lived relatively close.
So, seeing him return, the two immediately entered his room to inquire about information.
"You mean, Lady Ningguang not only didn't send Miss Shenhe away but even let him stay in the main residence?" Baishi pushed his glasses and stroked his chin, pondering.
"Does Lady Ningguang have some deeper meaning in doing this?" Baixiao frowned slightly, somewhat confused.
He hadn't had much contact with Stelle, and the entire process of this matter was heard from the two of them.
"I also find it strange. If you're talking about declaring sovereignty... I think with Lady Ningguang's personality, he shouldn't do it so overtly," Baiwen scratched his hair, still feeling vaguely that something wasn't quite right.
"By the way, did you observe Miss Shenhe's reaction?" Baishi looked up and asked Baiwen.
"Miss Shenhe had no reaction. He seemed very aloof," Baiwen shook his head.
"Surely, Lady Ningguang isn't going to have Miss Shenhe join in too?" Baixiao suddenly said subconsciously, but these words startled both of them.
They both fell silent, then slowly looked at Baixiao.
"Uh, I just said that casually," Baixiao reacted, his cheeks flushed.
These words were a bit disrespectful.
"No, you've provided us with a new line of thought," Baiwen shook his head.
A word to awaken the dreamer; the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was very possible.
Even when Lady Ningguang went stargazing with Miss Stelle, he brought Miss Shenhe along.
At first, they thought it was because Shenhe didn't want the two of them to be alone and insisted on going along.
But now, it seemed that the truth was not quite what they had imagined.
"If it's true, then it's a bit too..." Baiwen didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Speaking of which, is Miss Stelle really that likable?" Baixiao looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but develop a strong curiosity about Stelle.
He hadn't seen Stelle much, after all, their usual work responsibilities were different. Although they were both Ningguang's personal secretaries, the time they spent by Ningguang's side was not fixed.
"Hmm... how should I put it?" Baiwen and Baishi exchanged glances and slowly spoke.
Both of them had met Miss Stelle.
"Although I can't quite describe what this feeling is, or where it came from, the first time I saw Miss Stelle, my heart definitely skipped a beat."
"I had that feeling too. Miss Stelle is very unique and very beautiful..." Baishi recalled Stelle's appearance, and his cheeks gradually began to flush.
His sexual orientation was already not quite normal among the three of them; he became a secretary because he was deeply captivated by Ningguang the first time he saw him.
And after seeing Miss Stelle once, he was completely unable to forget him.
"Oh~" Baixiao felt increasingly curious. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely have a good chat with Miss Stelle.
----
Late at night, in Ningguang's room.
It was still brightly lit. It was already very late, but Ningguang still hadn't rested.
In fact, Ningguang had been resting very late these past few days, after all, so many things had happened in Liyue Harbor.
But today, Ningguang was not staying up late because of work.
On the contrary, he felt that he had already rested.
After so many days, he had never felt his body so light, as if he had ascended to the clouds and was lying in soft clouds.
Of course, he knew that the so-called clouds were made of tiny water droplets; it was just a feeling.
"Hoo..." Ningguang turned over with hazy eyes, squinting at the sweaty Stelle in front of him.
He slowly reached out and stroked Stelle's cheek, tucking his already damp hair to one side.
Stelle couldn't speak. He was pressing his lips together, enduring something.
Shenhe was behind Stelle, but his hands were in front of Stelle.
Ningguang was finished, but Shenhe wasn't.
Ningguang couldn't help but sigh, Shenhe was indeed an Adeptus Disciple, his stamina was incredibly good.
Someone like him, who didn't exercise much normally, truly couldn't compare.
"Stelle, what are your plans for what I told you tonight?" Ningguang asked mischievously.
"Ah--ah?! Wh-what?" Stelle said softly, but his tone was a bit off-key.
At a time like this, when spoken to, Stelle's mind couldn't think at all, let alone give Ningguang a proper answer.
"I mean, besides Keqing, is there anyone else you particularly like? I can get them for you, you know," Ningguang reached out and pressed his hand on Stelle's lips.
"I, I didn't... Mmm."
"Speaking of which, Baiwen looked at us a bit strangely today..." Ningguang's fingers pinched Stelle's tender little tongue, muttering to himself.
Both Baiwen and Baishi seemed to have misunderstood something. As his personal secretaries, Ningguang didn't want them to have any negative effects on his relationship with Stelle in the future.
For example, if they saw Stelle getting close to a certain girl in the future, and then went to warn the other party or even trip them up...
In that case, Stelle would be unhappy.
To avoid this situation, Ningguang felt it would be better to just make an example of the three of them.
Although Stelle hadn't explicitly stated whether he liked the three of them, they weren't bad-looking and had some charm.
After eating too much rich food, it wouldn't hurt to serve Stelle some cold dishes to change his taste, right...
Ningguang's eyes flickered.
