Chapter 166 A Gentle Kiss on Her Forehead

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the door, breaking the silence.

Mo Liyuan sat at the desk, his lips curled up inadvertently. He waved his sleeves and said in a low voice: "Step back."

Upon hearing this, Tianyi immediately bowed and stepped back as he walked out of the study. He happened to run into Lan Xiyue who was slowly walking towards him. At that moment, his eyes lit up instantly.

Tianyi looked up at the sky. It was so late, and Miss Lan still came to see the master. Tianyi couldn't help but fantasize. It seemed that their Regent's Palace would soon have a young master.

Lan Xiyue waved her hand in front of Tianyi's eyes: "Are you stupid?"

Tianyi suddenly came back to his senses, quickly apologized with a smile, and extended his hand servilely: "Princess, please come in, please come in."

Lan Xiyue glanced at him suspiciously and stepped into the room.

Upon seeing this, Tianyi hurried forward, closed the door, and left quickly so as not to disturb their master and the princess.

In the study, Lan Xiyue slowly walked to the desk and asked, "Your Highness, are you still awake?"

Mo Liyuan played with the ring on his finger, his eyes filled with a hint of teasing: "Didn't Yue'er say that she would come find me later? How could I sleep?"

There was a cunning gleam in Lan Xiyue's eyes: "Well, Your Majesty, how about we go watch the moon together?" As she said that, she pointed outside the window.

Mo Liyuan looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh? Yue'er, you stayed up late at night just to come and see me to admire the moon?"

Lan Xiyue directly pulled his arm: "Let's go!"

Mo Liyuan let her pull him out of the study. When Mo Liyuan looked up at the sky, it was covered with dark clouds tonight. Not to mention the moon, even the stars had not appeared.

"Yuer, why don't you take a look? There is no moon tonight." Mo Liyuan reminded.

Lan Xiyue looked up and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Uh... the moon is not the point, Your Highness, let's go to the roof to get some fresh air!"

Mo Liyuan gave her a complicated look, then finally put his arm around her waist and jumped onto the roof.

The two of them sat down on the rooftop, and the system's voice rang in Lan Xiyue's mind: "Host, work harder. This system is counting on you."

"System, shut up and don't bother me. I'm going to start brewing my emotions."

Upon hearing this, the system fell silent and said no more.

Lan Xiyue leaned on Mo Liyuan's shoulder, feeling his steady breathing and strong heartbeat. She whispered, "Prince, will you cooperate with me from now on?"

Mo Liyuan looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting: "How can I cooperate with you?"

A breeze blew by. Lan Xiyue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "When I say I love you, Your Highness, please listen carefully and don't disturb me."

Mo Liyuan pursed his lips tightly upon hearing this, a complex emotion flickering in his deep eyes. He said nothing, simply lowering his head and staring at Lan Xiyue silently.

Lan Xiyue raised her head and her eyes met Mo Liyuan's. Lan Xiyue said seriously, "Mo Liyuan, I have my own difficulties. I can't tell you the reason now. When the time comes, I will explain it to you." There was a hint of pleading and expectation in her tone.

Mo Liyuan slowly uttered a word: "Okay." He could feel the change in Lan Xiyue's attitude towards him. Since she said so, he would cooperate with her. After all, he had already decided on her, and even if she wanted to escape in the future, he would never allow it.

Seeing Mo Liyuan agreed, Lan Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and slowly leaned on his shoulder.

She began to repeat softly: "Prince, I love you, Prince, I love you..." Mo Liyuan just listened quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the woman beside him gradually disappeared. Mo Liyuan looked down and saw that Lan Xiyue had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

Looking at her exhausted face, Mo Liyuan caressed her face with heartache and whispered, "Yuer, I used to think I would never fall in love with any woman and would spend my whole life alone. I never expected you to break into my heart like this. Since you have provoked me, you are not allowed to escape. From now on, be my princess and I will not restrict you. But there is one thing: you are not allowed to have eyes for any other man except me."

At this moment, a sudden flash of thunder flashed across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour. Lan Xiyue was startled awake and opened her eyes abruptly, "It's raining?"

Mo Liyuan pressed her sleeping button, making her fall into a deep sleep again, and quickly covered her with his robe, "You've been traveling for such a long time, get a good sleep tonight." Mo Liyuan picked up Lan Xiyue horizontally, jumped off the roof, and landed steadily on the ground.

In the darkness of the night, Mo Liyuan carried Lan Xiyue and walked quickly into the house. He walked to the bed, gently placed her on the soft bed, took off her shoes and socks, and pulled a thin blanket over her to cover her.

Mo Liyuan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes full of tenderness. He stared at her quietly for a long time, then he leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead.

However, at this warm and peaceful moment, a rapid and heavy sound of weapons clashing broke the silence of the night.

Mo Liyuan's eyes instantly turned cold as frost. He stood up and walked out with a gloomy face.
