In her previous life, Shen Ning exhausted all her efforts to protect her younger siblings, vowing never to marry. However, after a lifetime of toil, she ended up raising two ungrateful wretches. He...
After calming her down, Qin Zhuo placed the medicine bottle in her hand: "These are specially prepared pills for you. If you feel so cold that you are about to catch a cold, take one. You can't take them on ordinary days. This medicine is very effective. One pill is enough. Don't take too many."
"Ziyan is the best at making medicinal and nourishing dishes. I'll have them come over to take care of you tomorrow."
Shen Ning could feel the strength she had lost gradually returning, and her mind became clear again. Qin Zhuo's medicine was indeed good.
"As long as there's medicine, Liuying and the others will take good care of me."
Green Plum and Purple Beauty are Qin Zhuo's two most senior maids. How could she possibly accept them? She doesn't lack people to take care of her.
Qin Zhuo lowered his head: "Green Plum is good at hidden weapons and light footwork, Purple Beauty is good at medicine and poison, and she can also disguise herself. Are you sure you don't want her?"
Shen Ning's pupils trembled; it was impossible for her not to be moved.
The Thousand-Faced Demon Fox had previously made her incredibly envious of his masterful disguise skills.
Seeing that Shen Ning was clearly interested, Qin Zhuo smiled and made a pinky promise: "They're only here to take care of you for a while. Once you've recovered, they can go back."
Shen Ning hesitated for a moment, feigning hesitation, then said, "Ahem, thank you very much."
They've taken the bait.
However, Qin Zhuo was not happy at all; he was less attractive to her than the two maids.
What a short-sighted idiot.
"Hmm, have you decided what to call me?"
After several days of boomerang-like flight, it finally pierced back.
Shen Ning couldn't escape it, but she really didn't think about it; it was all over.
Qin Zhuo immediately understood, and the light in his eyes became much more dangerous: "Can't think of one? Then I'll help you think of one. You can choose between Zhuo Lang and Zhuo Gege."
Zhuo Lang? Zhuo Gege?
He had the nerve to say it, but she was too embarrassed to even call out to him.
Then Shen Ning hesitated for a moment, then was suddenly hugged and spun around, the blanket making her look like a silkworm, and then a kiss landed on her.
The deep, lingering kiss stole her breath, almost suffocating her.
He finally let her go, but only for a moment, before sucking and biting her again, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Unfortunately, her hands and feet were wrapped in the blanket, and she couldn't resist at all.
Qin Zhuo only released her when she was truly suffocating, wiping away the ambiguous wetness from her lips with his fingertips.
"Have you thought it through? If you don't shout, the punishment will continue."
Shen Ning glared at him angrily, feeling incredibly mad.
They had never really crossed paths before, and there was no romantic connection between them, so how did this person suddenly turn into a vicious wolf?
She was both angry and ashamed, furious, but also a little afraid that he would kiss her again.
The shameful thing is that even though it was so frightening just now, she didn't hate it. His kiss, like his beautiful face, had an unknown magic that bewitched her.
Seeing Qin Zhuo about to kiss her again, Shen Ning smashed her head against his chest: "Zhuo Lang."
Qin Zhuo's chest heaved, and he laughed heartily: "Didn't hear you? Shout it again."
Shen Ning refused: "You heard me."
Qin Zhuo lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to look directly at him.
"Good boy, say it again." The low, husky, pleasant male voice was filled with pleasure and coaxing, as if it could drown a person in its gentleness.
Shen Ning avoided his gaze, her heart trembling uncontrollably, but she was like a fish on a display board, unable to escape his deadly and alluring knife.
"Sakuro."
The last word had barely left his lips when a kiss followed.
Shen Ning: "!!!!!!!" You promised you wouldn't kiss me after calling me that, you liar!!!
Qin Zhuo held on so tightly that people were about to get angry before letting go, reluctant to part, showing great affection, but still had to leave.
They put the person back on the bed and wrapped them tightly in the blanket.
"Don't worry, before our wedding night, I won't do anything bad to you except kissing."
In his anger, Shen Ning realized that the reason he wrapped her up was not only to prevent her from resisting, but also to protect himself.
"You are truly a gentleman."
Qin Zhuo readily admitted without blushing, "Thank you for the compliment, it's my pleasure."
Then he turned the tables and pinched her nose: "So don't try to seduce me. The more intense your gaze is, the more I want to do something."
Shen Ning: "......"
She was truly fed up with this jerk.
After teasing her enough, Qin Zhuo patted her face reassuringly: "Go to sleep. I'll leave once you're asleep."
Shen Ning: "I can't sleep with you here."
Qin Zhuo: "I have to get used to it. I can't be left alone in an empty room forever."
Shen Ning: "......" Who told him about the future? Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Knowing he didn't want to leave, Shen Ning simply closed her eyes, pretending he didn't exist. She was still a patient, and talking to him again would only make him furious.
Um?
Shen Ning suddenly felt much better; the bitter taste of the medicine in her mouth dissipated, leaving behind a unique medicinal fragrance.
The aroma of the medicine traveled up my nose and straight to the top of my head, almost completely eliminating the discomfort. The medicine I swallowed warmed my stomach, and that feeling spread to my limbs and bones, making my body feel as comfortable as if I were soaking in warm water.
Qin Zhuo's outburst had left her sweating profusely, her skin feeling hot inside and cool on the surface, as if something was pouring out from her pores.
This must all be because of the medicine Qin Zhuo gave her. As for the purpose of the argument just now, she couldn't guess, but one thing was certain: he really wanted to take advantage of her.
Unable to sleep, I opened my eyes and looked around, but the person was no longer by the bedside.
A strange sense of loss and melancholy crept into her heart, and she didn't even realize when the firefly had come in.
"Miss, are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"
Coming to her senses, she shook her head slightly: "No need, I'm much better now."
Liu Ying didn't ask any more questions about Qin Zhuo. She wiped the sweat from Qin Zhuo's forehead, tidied up, and then went back to the cubicle to keep watch.
Shen Ning couldn't fall asleep for a while. Her mind was filled with Qin Zhuo's face and his scent. Her lips were still numb, and waves of emotion were rippling through her heart.
His appearance already amazed her, and he cared about her. Although he was always being a scoundrel, even if it went a little too far, she would only get angry.
I don't hate him, I don't loathe him, I don't resent him. On the contrary, my heart is pounding and my mind is filled with his bad and wicked image.
This seems different from other people's love affairs.
Mutual affection, love between the man and the woman?
This is clearly a mountain spirit or demon, tempting her mind, arousing her desires, and eroding her reason, leading her deeper and deeper into lure, waiting for her to completely lose her guard before devouring her without leaving a trace.
I feel like it was bound to happen sooner or later.
despair!
She wasn't lustful in her past life, so why is she different towards Qin Zhuo?
She was bullied, and she herself had been attracted to his good looks, so she can hardly be considered innocent.
Could this be a side effect of being reborn?
Shen Ning was having an existential crisis, finding it hard to accept the fact that he was a lecherous man.
She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, and even her rationality couldn't stop Qin Zhuo from lingering in her mind.
Before she drifted off to sleep, she had only one thought: Could Qin Zhuo have cast a spell on her? He must have.
