The man's beautiful eyebrows and eyes were misty with tears, and his long, curled eyelashes were covered with glistening water droplets.

Her face wasn't as red anymore, but it was rosy and delicate, like that of a newborn baby.

Upon meeting Chu Yuan's gaze, she hurriedly tried to hide, covering a certain spot with her hands, her face showing grievance and shame.

There was still lingering desire in his eyes.

Chu Yuan watched, swallowing hard. Just as she was about to take a step, Dugu Ling reached out to stop her, "Yuan'er, don't... don't come any closer!"

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.

He was completely different from Dugu; he wouldn't... until Yuan'er explicitly accepted him.

His own thoughts were interrupted when Chu Yuan approached despite his advice.

Under Dugu Ling's stunned and cautious gaze, Chu Yuan pulled down his hand, "Don't hide it, I've seen it all."

"..." Dugu Ling's reddened eyes suddenly widened even more.

"What, didn't you hear what I said to Dugu Jue that day?"

As he spoke, he poked Dugu Ling's chest with a finger, using about 70-80% of his strength. Caught off guard, Dugu Ling stumbled back two steps and fell into the water.

Or rather, he never thought to be on guard, letting Chu Yuan do whatever she wanted to him.

Even killing him would be acceptable.

At the crucial moment, Chu Yuan hooked the man's hand, pulled him back, and hugged him in her arms.

The voice was low, falling on Dugu Ling's ear, "Cold showers aren't working, are they? Then... just stop holding back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Ling's back stiffened noticeably. His expression was unclear, but it was definitely "beautiful".

Because in the next instant, a suffocating force covered her back, as if trying to embed her completely into his embrace!

There are ready-made beds next to the bathhouse for the masters who don't want to move after bathing to rest.

Chu Yuan felt a lightness in her body as Dugu Ling carried her outside. He looked down at her intently, his brows furrowed, as if to make sure she wouldn't change her mind.

Slightly raising her head, Chu Yuan raised her hand to stroke his sharply defined profile. "Be gentle later, okay?"

She had already experienced the intense flavor from Dugu Jue, so she certainly didn't want to eat the same recipe a second time.

The man's clear gaze could easily see through Chu Yuan's thoughts, yet he was not angry at all. Instead, he was unusually obedient, his lips slightly parted as he uttered a single word, "Okay."

Therefore, I will faithfully do so.

He gently placed Chu Yuan on the daybed, and kissed her reverently, like a small animal cuddling its owner.

First the forehead, then the eyebrows and eyes, then the tip of the nose, the chin...

"Yuan'er, you are very good." Dugu Ling murmured softly with satisfaction as he pressed his lips against Chu Yuan's.

Chu Yuan's lips curved into a smile. "What do you mean?"

Dugu Ling bit open the ties of her clothes, "Anyway, it's just very, very good..."

No one has ever been like her, not minding that he has two personalities and is a strange, unconventional monster!

So even though she gave herself to Dugu Jue first and liked him more, Dugu Ling couldn't get angry with her.

Instead, I couldn't help but want to show her more pity.

I hope that my kindness to her can earn me even just a little more affection from her.

The soft fabric slid down her shoulders, revealing her fair, translucent skin, adorned with soft curves and an alluring cherry-red hue…

Dugu Ling's breathing was heavy, and as her fingertips traced his movements, a slight shiver ran through the person beneath her...

He chuckled softly, his fiery lips lightly touching hers, while the rest of his body was slightly icy from the cool water, stimulating Chu Yuan's delicate body like a duet of ice and fire.

Chu Yuan's body undulated slightly in response to him.

The desire and tenderness in a man's eyes are even stronger; he loves her inch by inch, he can never get enough of her.

This gentle foreplay lasted a very long time. I was reluctant to let it go, and I was delighted. Only by showering her with love and care could I express this feeling...

In the past, Chu Yuan would have taken the initiative long ago, but today she let Dugu Ling use all sorts of tricks to get close to her, calling her Yuan'er with deep affection.

Until he gave himself completely...

She loved him physically and verbally, saying, "Yuan'er, you're mine now, that's wonderful."

Chu Yuan didn't speak, but she tightened her grip on him.

The man chuckled, his voice low, magnetic, and pleasant. "How about I tell you a secret?"

Chu Yuan gasped for breath, "Hmm?"

"...Actually, Dugu Jue fell in love with you even earlier than I did."

Although we have very different personalities, we seem to have a surprisingly similar taste in women?

Chu Yuan didn't know how to answer this question, because she strangely felt that having a boyfriend with a dual personality wasn't so bad.

Especially since the two have very different styles in bed, there's no such thing as the seven-year itch!

...

After they finished, neither of them got up immediately.

Anyway, it's already like this, so let them know. The main thing is to just give up.

So much so that after being ordered to secretly find out the situation, Granny Ji reported it mysteriously to the Empress Dowager.

The latter slammed his hand on the table, "This Fu Shun, he's really got some nerve!"

She even dared to drug her own brother with aphrodisiacs!

In an instant, the Empress Dowager recalled what Shen You'an had said when she refused the marriage proposal, "You'an prefers more shy women, like Princess Fushun..."

The implication was clear: they felt Yue'er was too open!

The Empress Dowager hadn't thought much of it at first, but now, upon hearing this news, she was utterly shocked.

Granny Ji quickly reassured her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor only has one daughter. She is a bit spoiled and indulgent, but fortunately, she is not a bad person at heart."

Shen Youan looks down on Princess Fushun because he doesn't know how to appreciate her. Our Princess Fushun certainly doesn't lack a sincere suitor to marry, does she?

The Empress Dowager was well aware of this, and sighed, "But she has taken a liking to Shen You'an!"
