Feng Guang burst into tears, crying out, “Gu Yan, I misjudged you! Turns out you’re just like those other men who only think with their lower halves!”
“Your Majesty…”
“Don’t touch me! You’re just the same as all those other men!” She cried as she spoke, actually shedding a few tears.
Gu Yan sighed in resignation. He withdrew his hand from her clothes and sat up from her body. He leaned in to gently wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes with his slender finger, speaking in an utterly helpless tone, “You managed to squeeze out these precious tears just to avoid me touching you. Was it worth it?”
Of course, it was worth it! After everything he’d put her through a few days ago, she was still shaken by the memory!
Her small face became stern, her eyes still moist, giving her an oddly persistent, almost obsessive beauty. “When I say I don’t want it, I don’t want it. You can’t force me! Besides, you don’t even like me. Why are you always thinking about sleeping with me? If you’re desperate for women, just snap your fingers and a whole bunch will come running!”
If he went out looking for other women, she’d throw a tantrum.
Gu Yan’s eyes were like a quiet, unfathomable ancient pond, deep yet deadly alluring. “Feng Guang, I love you.”
Feng Guang froze, not quite registering the words at first. After a long pause, she finally reacted. “Bullshit! Saying you love me in bed, do you think I’m three years old?!”
She kicked him, but surprisingly, he didn’t dodge.
Gu Yan’s gaze flickered, his head throbbing. He rubbed her head and said, “You’re not a three-year-old.”
You’re even more foolish than a three-year-old.
It was hard enough for him to finally speak the truth, yet she refused to believe him.
Indeed, the great regent had to realize that before, he had been keeping her at arm’s length, adhering strictly to the roles of ruler and subject. But now, his attitude had changed. He flirted with her from time to time, often saying things that left her speechless. To Feng Guang, it felt like he was treating her like a fool, and it was suspicious that she could even believe him.
Though he thought she was foolish, and believed that without him, she’d probably ruin the throne within three years, he still found himself deeply attracted to her.
Looking at her beautiful face and her cute expressions, he often thought about creating a pocket to carry her around, keeping her close at all times. Though he was certain that many people would give up on her after their first impression, he couldn’t deny that someone with his taste would eventually come along and recognize the treasure that was “Feng Guang.”
Fortunately, the men who might have competed for her had already been cleared away.
Feng Guang noticed the growing intensity in his eyes, and her sixth sense warned her that things might be getting dangerous. She tugged at a lock of his hair. “What are you scheming?”
Could he be planning for her throne?
Gu Yan chuckled at her suspicion, his finger gently grazing the tip of her nose. “Naturally, I’m scheming with you in mind.”
What good would it do to be cautious now?
She already had no other choice but him.
But Feng Guang, in her mind, thought, So this man, who’s already taken everything from me, is eyeing my throne!
“You heartless man!” She yanked his long hair, and instinctively, Gu Yan lowered his head. She bit into his neck.
It wasn’t a hard bite, but it was enough to cause discomfort.
Gu Yan gently stroked her head, clearly enjoying the moment. “Your Majesty, be careful with your teeth.”
If he didn’t lose his temper, she’d soon lose interest, too. She released her bite and looked at the teeth marks on his neck. Suddenly, she thought, Could this man be a masochist?
