Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chu Mengmeng's face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "You silly girl, you are the only one with sharp eyes!" She scolded him, but her heart was as sweet as honey. Xiao Yichen's gentle voice and smile replayed in her mind over and over again, making her restless and unable to sleep.

Seeing that the young lady had acquiesced, Xiao Cui covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Young lady, please don't hide it from me. You have been absent-minded the whole way and have been laughing secretly. It's obvious that you are in love!"

"You are so good, Xiao Cui, even you dare to tease me!" Chu Mengmeng pretended to be angry and picked up the pillow and threw it at Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui dodged it with a smile, and the room was filled with laughter.

The next day, Chu Mengmeng got up early and dressed up. She carefully selected a light pink dress, which made her look even more charming. While helping her with her makeup, Xiao Cui joked, "Miss, are you dressing up so carefully today to meet Mr. Xiao?"

Chu Mengmeng blushed and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, I just..." She hesitated to speak, feeling both excited and nervous. She didn't know why Xiao Yichen asked her to meet him.

It was almost noon when Chu Mengmeng brought Xiao Cui to Zuixianlou. Xiao Yichen had been waiting in the private room for a long time. When he saw her coming, he quickly stood up to greet her, with a faint smile on his jade-like face: "Miss Chu, you are here."

"Mr. Xiao." Chu Mengmeng bowed slightly, feeling a little nervous.

"Miss Chu, I asked you to come here today because I want to invite you to a place." Xiao Yichen said, handing Chu Mengmeng an exquisite invitation, "This is a little gift from me, I hope Miss Chu will accept it."

Chu Mengmeng curiously took the invitation and opened it. She saw the words "Xiao Mansion Back Garden" written on it, and the signature was "Xiao Yichen". She raised her head with some doubts and looked at Xiao Yichen: "Mr. Xiao, this is..."

"To be honest, the scenery of the back garden of my house is pleasant. Today I would like to invite Miss Chu to enjoy the flowers with me. I wonder if Miss Chu would do me the honor?" Xiao Yichen said sincerely, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Chu Mengmeng's heart was moved. She had heard that the back garden of Xiao Mansion was a unique place in the city, but it was rare for ordinary people to see it. She didn't expect Xiao Yichen to invite her to visit. She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then I'd better obey your order."

When Xiao Yichen saw that she agreed, a happy smile appeared on his face: "Miss Chu, please come this way."

The two walked out of Zuixianlou one after the other and came to the back door of Xiao Mansion. Xiao Yichen ordered someone to open the back door and took Chu Mengmeng and her personal maid Xiao Cui into the mansion.

Along the way, Xiao Cui looked around curiously and exclaimed from time to time. Although Chu Mengmeng pretended to be calm on the surface, she was secretly amazed in her heart. The Xiao Mansion was indeed worthy of its reputation. The pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water were exquisite and elegant everywhere, which was dazzling.

After passing through several corridors, the view suddenly opens up and a sea of ​​flowers comes into view. The colorful flowers compete with each other in splendor, and the fragrance is refreshing, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"So beautiful!" Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but exclaimed.

"As long as Miss Chu likes it." Xiao Yichen said with a smile, "This is my favorite place on weekdays. It is my honor to appreciate it with Miss Chu today."

The two of them strolled in the sea of ​​flowers, talking in low voices from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Ms. Chu, please wait a moment." After reaching a secluded corner, Xiao Yichen suddenly stopped and turned to Chu Mengmeng and said.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng looked at him puzzledly.

Xiao Yichen smiled mysteriously, pointed to a small pavilion hidden by flowers not far away, and said, "Miss Chu, please follow me."

Chu Mengmeng curiously followed Xiao Yichen through the flowers and came to the exquisite pavilion. The pavilion was covered with green ivy. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the vines, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. In the middle of the pavilion was a stone table, on which fragrant tea and cakes were prepared.

"Miss Chu, please sit down." Xiao Yichen motioned Chu Mengmeng to sit down, and then personally poured her a cup of tea, "Try it, this is the peach blossom wine specially made in my house, it tastes sweet and delicious."

Chu Mengmeng took the teacup and took a sip. A faint peach blossom fragrance spread in her mouth, refreshing her heart. "What a nice smell!" She couldn't help but exclaim.

"As long as you like it." Xiao Yichen said with a smile, "I saw that Miss Chu likes sweets, so I specially prepared these."

The two of them ate and chatted, talking about everything from poetry and songs to their ideals in life, from strange anecdotes to family matters. Before they knew it, a lot of time had passed.

"I have had a dream since I was a child. I hope to open a restaurant of my own, cook the most delicious dishes in the world, and let all diners taste the taste of happiness." Chu Mengmeng looked at the flowers blooming outside the pavilion, her eyes flashing with longing.

"This is such a wonderful wish." Xiao Yichen looked at her with admiration in his eyes, "I believe Miss Chu will be able to realize her dream."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Chu Mengmeng was infected by his encouraging eyes and showed a bright smile on her face, "By the way, what about you? What is your dream?"

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment and said, "I hope to do something practical for the people so that they can live a stable and happy life."

"You really are a person who cares about the world." Chu Mengmeng praised sincerely.

"I'm just doing my best." Xiao Yichen said modestly.

The two smiled at each other, and the sunlight shining on them seemed to have coated them with a layer of golden glow.

"By the way, Miss Chu, I have another gift for you." Xiao Yichen suddenly remembered something, took out an exquisite booklet from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng.

"What is this?" Chu Mengmeng took the booklet curiously and opened it. She saw that it was densely packed with recipes for various dishes. Each dish was accompanied by exquisite illustrations, which were lifelike and mouth-watering.

"This is the recipe I have collected and researched over the years. It records some new dishes I carefully developed for Miss Chu." Xiao Yichen explained, "I know Miss Chu likes cooking. I hope these recipes can be helpful to you."

Chu Mengmeng flipped through the recipes page by page, with a look of surprise and delight on her face. These dishes were not only novel and unique, but also detailed in their methods, with pictures and text, so even a kitchen novice could easily learn them.

"Mr. Xiao, these recipes are so precious, I..." Chu Mengmeng was so moved that she couldn't speak. She never thought that Xiao Yichen would be so thoughtful and specially prepare this gift for her.

"As long as you like it." Xiao Yichen looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness and affection, "I carefully designed these dishes according to your taste and preferences. I hope you like them."

Chu Mengmeng's eyes were moist, with crystal tears rolling in them. She was deeply moved by Xiao Yichen's kindness. His meticulous observation and understanding of her preferences and dreams made her feel extremely warm and happy.

"Young Master Xiao..." Chu Mengmeng choked up, unable to suppress her inner excitement any longer. She stood up, walked to Xiao Yichen, and gently hugged him.

Xiao Yichen's body stiffened slightly, then he reacted and gently hugged Chu Mengmeng back. He patted her back gently and said softly, "Silly, why are you crying? These are what I should do."

Chu Mengmeng buried her head in Xiao Yichen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling his warm embrace, her heart was filled with a sense of security and happiness. At this moment, she felt that all her efforts and waiting were worth it, and she finally found the person she could entrust her life to.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, letting time pass, until the sun set and the sky was dyed a brilliant red, and then they reluctantly separated.

"It's getting late, let me take you home." Xiao Yichen said.

"Okay." Chu Mengmeng nodded and walked out of the pavilion side by side with Xiao Yichen.

As night fell, the stars dotted the sky, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky, casting cool moonlight. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng strolled under the moonlight, talking and laughing all the way, with a sweet atmosphere flowing between them.

When he reached the gate of Chu's house, Xiao Yichen stopped, gazed at Chu Mengmeng affectionately, and said, "Mengmeng, meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. I love you more than anything else."

Chu Mengmeng's heart was deeply touched by his words. She raised her head and looked at him, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes, and whispered, "Yi Chen, I love you too."

Xiao Yichen gently held Chu Mengmeng's face and kissed her lips. The kiss was gentle and long, as if to melt them together.

Under the moonlight, the two hugged each other tightly and made an eternal vow. Their love, like the brightest stars in the night sky, was destined to illuminate each other's lives.

Back in the room, Chu Mengmeng lay on the bed, recalling every little bit with Xiao Yichen, with a sweet smile on her face. Xiao Yichen's gentleness and thoughtfulness, his talent, and his affection were all deeply engraved in her mind and could not be erased.

However, behind the sweetness, a shadow of uneasiness quietly crept into Chu Mengmeng's heart. She thought of the past, the enemies lurking in the dark, the unsolved mysteries, and the gap in identity between her and Xiao Yichen, all of which were like invisible barriers that stood in the way of their love.

 Chapter 150: The Fusion of Hearts

The moonlight shone through the carved window lattice, casting a silver glow in front of Chu Mengmeng's bed. She turned over with a sweet smile on her lips. Xiao Yichen's voice and smile played in her mind like a projector: his gentle jade-like profile, his deep eyes like stars, and the words "I love you" that made her heart beat faster.

Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but bury her face in the soft quilt, feeling the sweetness and excitement brought by this love. She never thought that one day she would love someone so deeply, and this love was also responded, which made her feel extremely happy.

However, after the sweetness, a trace of uneasiness crept into her heart. Chu Mengmeng thought of the various dangers she had encountered before, the enemies lurking in the dark, the unsolved mysteries, and the identity gap between her and Xiao Yichen that could not be ignored. They were like tiny thorns that pricked her heart and made her feel a dull pain.

"Is identity really that important?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself.

She turned over and sat up, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. She longed to stay with Xiao Yichen forever, but she was afraid that her identity would become an insurmountable obstacle between them.

"No, I can't give up like this!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, and a determined light ignited in her eyes. She decided to face everything bravely, and work hard for her love and their common future.

In the following days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's relationship quickly heated up. They stayed together almost every day, traveling around, reciting poems and enjoying this hard-earned sweetness.

Xiao Yichen would patiently teach Chu Mengmeng calligraphy and painting, and would accompany her shopping to taste all kinds of food. He would carefully pay attention to her preferences, give her the gifts she liked, and would lend a helping hand without hesitation when she encountered difficulties.

Chu Mengmeng was like a happy little bird, enjoying Xiao Yichen's love and pampering. She would cook for him and sew clothes for him. She would share all her joys and sorrows with him, and would massage his back and shoulders when he was tired.

The two's feelings gradually heat up as they spend time together day after day, and their hearts get closer and closer. However, the gears of fate are turning in secret, and a sudden storm is about to sweep in...

On this day, the Chu Mansion received an invitation to attend the blessing ceremony held at Jing'an Temple outside the city. On the day of the ceremony, all the nobles from various families would attend, which was an unprecedented grand occasion.

Chu Mengmeng naturally had to go with her father. She dressed up carefully and put on a light pink dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers, which made her look particularly cute and lovely.

Xiao Yichen had been waiting at the gate of the Chu Mansion early. When he saw Chu Mengmeng getting off the carriage, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he gently took her hand and walked towards Jing'an Temple together.

However, the moment they stepped into the temple, Chu Mengmeng's eyes were attracted by a familiar figure in the crowd. She saw Xiao Yichen and a woman in a light yellow dress having an intimate conversation. The woman's eyebrows were filled with a kind of tenderness and shyness that Chu Mengmeng had never seen before, and Xiao Yichen's eyes looking at her were also full of pampering and love...
