Jing Rong did not dare to move. He was afraid to wake up the person in his embrace. But, it did not stop him from curling his lips into a smile. ‘Yunshu, it would be so good if I was born in a common family and your heart did not have Ji Pei.’ His heart was filled with longing and hope as his smile became more dazzling.
He could not stop himself from raising a hand and touching Ji Yunshu’s thick eyelashes. As soon as his fingertips brushed her eyelashes, he immediately retracted his hand because Ji Yunshu was roused from her shallow sleep. She lifted her eyes and locked eyes with Jing Rong’s infatuated gaze. His gaze was like a fireball waiting to melt her from inside.
Her brain jolted. She abruptly got up, grabbed her outer clothing, and covered herself before quickly distancing herself from him. In her haste, she did not forget to explain the situation, “Your Highness must not misunderstand. Your body was cold, so I only warmed it. It was the only method I could think of. Nothing happened between us!”
“No way!” Jing Rong intently watched her.
Ji Yunshu was startled by his firm reply. She looked straight at him.
After a pause, Jing Rong continued, “Since we already slept together, it is still sleeping together. When my body gets better, I will marry you, alright?”
“That won’t do!” She did not hesitate to refuse him.
Her expression was obviously fraught with worry, but it did not stop her from blushing. Fortunately for her, the glow from the fire gave her complexion a warm color which hid the blush creeping in. If it was not for that, Jing Rong would have long since noticed how red her cheeks were.
“Why?” It was a question he already knew the answer to.
Ji Yunshu sat on the side and declared, “Your Highness, why do you have to poke the thorn in people’s hearts. You already know my answer and nothing happened between us.”
“Nothing happened between us?” His tone deepened as his smile stretched into an evil one. He threw aside the clothing covering his upper body, revealing his bared body. Then, with great effort, he got up and approached Ji Yunshu step by step.
‘Alert! Danger! Incoming danger up ahead!’
“What do you want to do?” Ji Yunshu got up and backed away while tightly grabbing onto the front of her clothing.
Her move was useless as she still ended up grasped in his evil clutches. Jing Rong grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him, then he locked her between the stone wall and himself. She took in the full view Jing Rong’s strong chest and felt the desire burning in him as he stared at her. Ji Yunshu did not know where she should put her hands. In the end, she let her arms hang by her sides as her fists clenched from the tension.
She turned her head away and held her breath. “Please act with propriety!”
“What propriety?”
He used his thumb and index to pinch Ji Yunshu’s exquisite chin and lifted it up, forcing her to face his scorching gaze.
“Since nothing happened, then why not make it happen? This place is quiet. There won’t be anyone to disturb us, so why not…” As he spoke, he slowly leaned closer until his forehead touched Ji Yunshu’s.
Soon, his thin lips arrived near, but Ji Yunshu turned away and his lips met her earlobe.
She thought he would stop at that and change back to the usual teasing Jing Rong. “I love you this way.” The ambiguous tone resounded in her ears.
Ji Yunshu immediately blushed. They stayed like this for a while until Ji Yunshu could not endure it anymore. She put her hands on his chest and was about to push him away, but with a flick of his finger, he turned her head back to face him. A smile bloomed on his face.
“Yunshu, I want you right now!” He kissed her immediately after. Their lips met, then from the shy encounter, gradually their lips became more entangled. Their mouths slightly parted. The kiss deepened, brimming with emotions as their passion burnt harder.
