Qu Shiang’s eyes were fierce, and he was about to chase after someone, but he abruptly stopped as he heard the person in bed calling out, “Brother Qu Shiang, don’t go, I’m so hot!”
Qu Shiang rushed over but quickly halted, turning his face away, his handsome face blushing deeply. She was… not dressed…
Realizing that this must be the work of that little thief earlier, a surge of anger rose in his chest. Damn it!
The person on the bed continued to call his name, her voice sultry and ambiguous, revealing her desire.
With a flushed face and not daring to look directly at her, Qu Shiang walked over, grabbed a thin silk quilt from the bed, and covered her up. Only then did he dare to meet her gaze and anxiously ask, “Princess, what’s wrong?”
Seeing her face flushed, her eyes glimmering with irresistible allure, and her skin burning hot to the touch, Qu Shiang’s heart skipped a beat. He reached for her wrist, and his handsome face immediately darkened. She had been drugged!
However, just as he was in shock, Yu Xinuo grabbed his neck with both hands and pulled him down onto her.
“Princess…”
Qu Shiang’s face turned red down to his neck. He tried to push her away, but Yu Xinuo clung to him tightly, her cherry lips already pressing against his, murmuring, “I’m so hot…”
Having never experienced anything like this before, Qu Shiang’s body stiffened, his eyes wide as he looked at her flushed, drugged face. She was tasting his lips with her soft, lilting tongue, leaving him momentarily blank.
“Brother Qu Shiang…” Seemingly dissatisfied with his dazed reaction, Yu Xinuo bit his lip hard. Qu Shiang let out a muffled groan, his mouth opening in pain, and her nimble tongue slipped in, intertwining with his.
“Mmm…” Her delightful taste spread through his entire body. After a moment of rigidity, he began to reciprocate, clumsily mimicking her as their tongues tangled.
After a passionate kiss, Yu Xinuo felt even hotter. The coolness of his skin made her yearn for more. The quilt was now an obstacle, and she impatiently pulled it off and threw it to the ground.
“Princess!” The soft sensation brought Qu Shiang back to his senses. His face turned embarrassed as he realized he had taken advantage of her in her vulnerable state.
He tried to pull away, but Yu Xinuo, in a state of delirium, clung to him as if he were a lifeline. Feeling his attempt to withdraw, her legs wrapped around his waist like vines, her eyes misty with desire, she looked at him, her gaze filled with passion, and said, “Brother Qu Shiang, don’t leave! I, I love you!”
Qu Shiang’s body tensed, stunned by her words. His hesitant heart crumbled at her passionate confession.
After a long pause, he finally took a deep breath, as if making up his mind, and slowly lowered himself to cover her writhing body, kissing her lips…
The silk curtains on either side were brushed aside, obscuring the enchanting scene within…
Xiao Li and Xing Er, carrying a basin of ice water with ice cubes floating in it, arrived breathlessly at Yu Xinuo’s room. Just as they were about to push the door open, they suddenly heard strange noises from inside.
The two exchanged puzzled glances and, in silent agreement, pressed their ears against the door to eavesdrop.
The sounds of a woman’s moans and a man’s heavy breathing filled the air with an ambiguous atmosphere…
Their faces suddenly flushed with embarrassment. After working in the palace for years, they had heard such sounds before.
But who was the man inside the room? They had never seen Yu Xinuo with a suitor.
Xing Er peered through the gap in the door and, upon seeing Qu Shiang’s clothes scattered on the floor, breathed a sigh of relief. She silently signaled to Xiao Li, and the two, with ambiguous smiles, carried the ice water away, thinking: Miss is impressive; she managed to capture the aloof Lord Yue so quickly.
The moonlight, like water, gently flowed in through the window, adding a hazy glow to the room.
Yu Xinuo, lifting her eyelids wearily, opened her eyes to see the moonlight in the room, realizing it was already night. She tried to turn over, but her body felt as though it had been crushed, aching terribly. She frowned involuntarily, remembering a vivid dream where she and Qu Shiang were entangled on the bed. But if that was just a dream, why did her body feel as if it had truly experienced it?
She shook her head in amusement. She must have been imagining things because she missed Qu Shiang. Enduring the pain, she turned to continue sleeping but then saw a familiar handsome face lying beside her, serene even in sleep, looking as cool and beautiful as the moon.
His eyes were tightly shut, his long, dark eyelashes beautiful, his breathing calm and steady, as if he had been asleep for a long time. He wore no clothes, only a thin silk quilt. His smooth, bare torso was exposed to the air, his white skin seeming to have a faint, transparent flush.
Yu Xinuo was first stunned, then nearly jumped up. How could he be sleeping in her room?
Looking down at herself, she found she was completely naked! She was first startled, then frightened, and quickly dove under the quilt, her pretty face already flushed with embarrassment.
It turned out that what happened earlier was not a dream! She did…
But she couldn’t understand why she suddenly ended up with Qu Shiang. Cough, how did that happen?
Just then, Qu Shiang slowly opened his eyes and saw her staring at him, looking both shocked and startled. His handsome face flushed slightly, and he gently asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Uh… I, I’m fine.” Yu Xinuo stammered, staring at his flushed face. Seeing a hint of disappointment in his beautiful eyes, she suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, “Don’t worry, since I’ve… that with you, I will take responsibility! Tomorrow, I’ll have someone go to the emperor to ask for a marriage decree for us!”
Damn it, it must be that she forced herself on him! Someone as aloof as he would never have initiated this. She just didn’t know if he was willing.
But she couldn’t understand why she suddenly did such an outrageous thing. She had originally planned to win his heart first before making any moves.
“…”
Qu Shiang looked at her in surprise, wondering if he had heard her correctly. Did she say she would take responsibility for him? Normally, it should be the other way around, right?
As Yu Xinuo continued to ramble on, Qu Shiang’s eyes revealed a hint of amusement. So she thought she had forced herself on him and thus needed to take responsibility? He had been worried she might resent him for taking advantage of her, but it seemed he was overthinking.
However, hearing her say she truly liked him made him very happy. Finding a woman who genuinely loved him and whom he also liked was fulfilling.
After a long silence without a response, Yu Xinuo frowned, feeling that Qu Shiang was being too stubborn. She had promised to take responsibility, yet he still wasn’t speaking.
She looked at him again, only to see him turn over and press her beneath him. His warm lips whispered alluringly in her ear, “Xinuo, I love you…”
“Ah… Mmm…” Before Yu Xinuo could react, her tender lips were passionately kissed by him. Just a moment’s distraction and a great joy surged through her heart. He had just said he loved her! He said he loved her! She doubted her ears, but the familiar scent and his fervent kiss assured her that she hadn’t heard wrong. What she heard was true!
Yu Xinuo joyfully wrapped her arms around his neck, passionately responding to his advances…
Under the moonlit glow, the scene of romantic springtime continued to unfold…
