The Yandere Queen's Manual for Training Her Wife - Chapter 16

“Spread your arms, maintain your balance.”

“Don’t sway. Once you’re on, don’t move.”

Qin Yan sat on a wooden chair by the lake, leisurely flipping through a book while supervising Xia Mingtang.

Meanwhile, Xia Mingtang, who was standing on a wooden stump and trying her best to stay balanced, was not having such a comfortable time.

Normally, the stump’s narrow surface wasn’t too difficult to stand on for a little while. But just now, Qin Yan had cast some kind of magic on her, and her legs still felt a bit weak.

And the perpetrator would occasionally disturb her. Did she want to sway? She just couldn’t stand still!

Xia Mingtang stood in the middle of the lake, her eyes occasionally darting towards Qin Yan.

At that moment, Qin Yan took a bottle of water from her bag. With a gentle twist of her slender fingers, she opened the cap.

The sports drink went into her mouth, flowing down her fair, long neck. You could even clearly see her throat gently bobbing as the liquid went down.

Xia Mingtang subconsciously swallowed. After standing for so long, she was thirsty too.

After drinking the water, Qin Yan’s lips were still wet, and her usually gentle face seemed to have a hint of seductiveness. She looked up and saw the inattentive expression on the person on the stump, her gaze carrying a mix of helplessness and reproach.

Xia Mingtang felt like she had been inexplicably zapped. Her legs swayed even more, and her body almost trembled like a person with Parkinson’s.

Seeing her suddenly swaying body, Qin Yan was startled. “Xiao Hua, don’t shake!”

As she spoke, she stepped onto the wooden stumps in the lake and rushed towards Xia Mingtang.

But it was better when she didn’t move. As soon as she got closer, Xia Mingtang lost control of herself even more.

Seeing those seemingly electric eyes getting closer, Xia Mingtang finally lost control of her limbs and fell into the lake with a “plop.”

By the time Qin Yan arrived, she only managed to catch a wisp of air.

Fortunately, the lake wasn’t deep. It only came up to an adult’s chest.

Qin Yan grabbed one of Xia Mingtang’s hands and pulled her out of the lake.

The usually restless young girl was now a drenched quail. Her thin clothes clung to her body, and you could see the pale, translucent skin underneath.

Qin Yan took a towel from her bag and dried her hair, her eyes filled with self-blame and sympathy. “Let’s go back.”

Still a bit dazed from the fall, Xia Mingtang was extremely well-behaved. She didn’t say a word, just kept nodding.

As soon as they returned to the inn, Qin Yan pushed Xia Mingtang into the bathroom to shower.

The water temperature was just right. Standing under the shower, Xia Mingtang suddenly felt that the fall wasn’t entirely a bad thing. At least she didn’t have to train anymore. And seeing how worried Qin Yan looked, she felt a little happy, though she didn’t know why.

She had always been a person whose emotions showed on her face. Fortunately, there was no one else around at the moment, so she wasn’t afraid of revealing her silly smile that stretched from ear to ear.

Xia Mingtang turned off the shower with one hand and put some shower gel on her body. Instead of washing properly, she had the leisure to play with bubbles.

A few minutes later, Qin Yan knocked on the bathroom door. “Xiao Hua, are you okay?”

Xia Mingtang didn’t expect Qin Yan to still be there. Feeling guilty, she turned the shower back on and yelled, “I’m fine, I’m still washing.”

Hearing that her voice was okay, Qin Yan didn’t say much, just told her not to keep the water off for too long to avoid catching a cold.

This time, Xia Mingtang didn’t play around anymore. She quickly rinsed the bubbles off her body, wrapped herself in a towel, put on a pair of panties, and was about to rush out.

The moment her hand touched the bathroom doorknob, she suddenly remembered that she was usually alone in this room. After showering, she was used to drying off and getting dressed on the bed. But this time…

Forget it, it’s not like she hasn’t seen me before.

After convincing herself, Xia Mingtang twisted the doorknob and confidently walked out, coming face-to-face with Qin Yan, who was tidying up the room.

Seeing that her hair was full of water droplets and dripping, Qin Yan quickly grabbed a dry towel and wrapped it around her head. “Dry it. Blow-dry your hair first so you don’t catch a cold.”

Xia Mingtang had a head of very thick hair, which was extremely absorbent. A towel barely big enough to wash her face was just a drop in the bucket.

Qin Yan was used to being elegant, and even her movements when drying someone’s hair were slow and deliberate.

Xia Mingtang found this too slow, so she simply grabbed the towel with both hands and helped Qin Yan dry her hair.

Qin Yan was already a little taller, and a section of uncovered body suddenly entered her line of sight.

As white as snow, as proud as a red plum.

Qin Yan: …

After a while, she spoke with difficulty. “Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”

“I didn’t bring any clothes in just now.” Xia Mingtang answered as if it was the most natural thing in the world, while quickly drying her hair.

She thought, If I had clothes on, why would I need to be wrapped in a towel? Qin Boss is so weird.

At that moment, Qin Yan’s hands were on that wet head, but her gaze had already drifted elsewhere, the light in her eyes deep and unreadable.

Xia Mingtang felt that Qin Yan had stopped moving. She took matters into her own hands and quickly dried her hair about 70-80%, then, still draped in a damp towel, she flopped onto the bed and started looking for clothes.

As she moved further away, the visual impact lessened, but it was still striking.

This was the second time.

Qin Yan lowered her eyes and squinted. She walked over and tossed the clothes that were on the bed onto Xia Mingtang.

“From now on, no matter what, you must be properly dressed. Don’t casually let others see you.”

“But I just finished showering, and this is my room!” Xia Mingtang took the clothes, looking at Qin Yan in disbelief.

And no one else is in my room when I’m showering.

“You need to be careful even in your own room, especially when it comes to privacy. You shouldn’t let others stay in your room.” The normally gentle and easy-going Qin Boss’s attitude was now a bit more firm.

Xia Mingtang: …

So, me not kicking you out just now is my fault?

“Alright then, I’m going to get dressed now. You can go.” Xia Mingtang said, her words betraying her true feelings.

Qin Yan gave her a silent look, turned around, and left, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

She actually left.

Xia Mingtang bit her lip, put on her clothes with a disgruntled expression, and took out a hairdryer to dry her hair.

Ten minutes later, there was some movement outside the door.

Qin Yan came in, holding a bowl.

Seeing her, Xia Mingtang’s mood suddenly brightened, but she still put on an arrogant face. “Didn’t you leave? How did you get in?”

“I’m the boss here.” Qin Yan held up the key hanging on her finger.

So what if you’re the boss? Does being the boss mean you can just barge into a guest’s room?

What if I wasn’t dressed yet? You just said not to casually let others see you.

Xia Mingtang grumbled to herself for a long time, but she was wiser this time and didn’t say anything out loud. Qin Yan couldn’t hear her.

“The boss is amazing.” Qin Yan glanced at her indifferently.

Xia Mingtang: ?

Does this person have mind-reading abilities?

“Drink it.” Qin Yan handed the bowl to her, returning to her concise nature.

“What is this?” Xia Mingtang took a sniff, her face full of disgust. “I don’t like ginger soup. Besides, I just got a little wet. I’m not that fragile, achoo!”

Her words and the sneeze came out in one breath, perfectly demonstrating a swift contradiction.

Fortunately, Qin Yan was quick and helped steady the bowl, preventing the ginger soup from spilling.

Qin Yan held the bottom of the bowl and looked at Xia Mingtang with a very calm expression.

Most of the time, Qin Yan was gentle and kind to people. No matter what she said, Xia Mingtang could always get carried away.

But now that she wasn’t saying a word, Xia Mingtang started to feel uneasy.

She didn’t know what she was afraid of. After all, Qin Boss wasn’t going to eat her.

That being said, Xia Mingtang puffed out her chest, meeting Qin Yan’s direct gaze.

Three seconds later…

She held the bowl with both hands and gulped down the ginger soup in one go.
