"Princess, I'm jealous."

In the pitch-black environment behind the magnificent curtains, Xiao Ji's icy kiss landed on Shang Changge's forehead.

His voice was as mellow and steady as ever, but it sounded a bit muffled tonight.

Shang Changge: "?"

The doubt was only momentary; once she understood, Shang Changge felt that Xiao Ji was a monster.

Extremely curious about Xiao Ji's unfathomable lightness skill and combat prowess, she reached out and pinched the man's face.

She lifted her long, straight, fair legs and habitually hooked them around Xiao Ji's slender waist.

He clung to Xiao Ji like an octopus, his gaze sincere as he asked the question:

"May I ask how General Xiao managed to hide in the reception hall eavesdropping one moment and then appear on my bed the next?"

Xiao Ji is a clingy person, and a kissing maniac who wants to be intimate with his beloved woman all the time.

He kissed Shang Changge's lips, which were as delicate and luscious as peony petals, and then hugged her tightly, wishing they could become one.

The two were not particularly large; one was nearly two meters tall and muscular, while the other was over 1.7 meters tall and slender.

It's not exactly small, but in reality, Shang Changge is like Xiao Ji's beloved wife in his arms.

With a beauty in his arms, General Xiao still looked aggrieved, repeating sullenly:

"You little rascal, I'm jealous."

Shang Changge couldn't help but chuckle, then mischievously asked, "Hmm, our General Xiao is jealous, what should we do?"

Xiao Ji has always been someone who knows what he wants and knows how to express it.

The big head buried itself in Shang Changge's neck, snuggling against him affectionately, like a large beast cuddling its mate.

Using the sexiest, most magnetic, and most alluring deep voice, to say the most submissive words:

"It needs to be coaxed to make it better."

Shang Changge gave a soft "oh" at the end of her sentence, moving even closer to the man's tall and imposing body, becoming intimately close.

Ignoring Xiao Ji's attempts to stop him, he mischievously touched the ground with his hand.

Hearing the muffled groans that sounded incredibly beautiful to her, she rubbed her cheek against hers, her expression utterly wicked:

"Is this a good way to coax him, General Xiao?"

Hearing the increasingly heavy groans and feeling the incredible sensations, Shang Changge knew just how captivating Xiao Ji's heart was by her words.

Once Shang Changge's perverse sense of humor takes hold, it's not so easy to extinguish.

Bold actions and suspenseful words followed one after another:

"Hiss, it seems General Xiao likes it very much."

"How about I coax General Xiao like this from now on? If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

"No, although General Xiao didn't answer me verbally, he answered elsewhere..."

The rest of the words were swallowed up by Xiao Ji's almost out-of-control, fiery kiss.

After a long time, things calmed down.

Like a bewitching enchantress, Shang Changge's limp, curvaceous figure clung to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji supported Shang Changge's waist, his voice still unnaturally hoarse:

“I have repeatedly asked His Majesty to bring forward the wedding date, but His Majesty has refused each time.”

The faintest sliver of candlelight, barely perceptible, filtered in from the outer room.

Shang Changge could clearly see the danger hidden in Xiao Ji's eyes when he said those words. Clearly, Xiao Ji was displeased.

but……

Shang Changge nimbly rolled over, getting off Xiao Ji and lying on the bed herself, then continued:

"It's okay, no rush."

Her tone was light and cheerful, because she was indeed not in a hurry.

Although she decided to openly admit her feelings for Xiao Ji and enjoy being close to him in kisses and hugs,

But she wasn't in a hurry to get married. The overall situation was still uncertain; they could date, but marriage could wait.

Xiao Ji's eyes suddenly darkened, and he took Shang Changge's hand, interlacing his fingers tightly: "Princess, you must take responsibility for me."

Shang Changge couldn't help but laugh, and pulled Xiao Ji, a rather burly man, into her arms, coaxing him like a child:

"Yes, yes, I'm not afraid."

When his face touched the softness of his beloved woman, Xiao Ji was stunned. He dared not move for fear of offending the little rascal who was 6 years younger than him.

She spoke even softer, revealing her concerns and fears:

"Don't keep male concubines, just keep me, okay?"

Shang Changge couldn't help but laugh, pulling the man even closer and tighter:

"Xiao Ji, do you know how cute it is that you're not daring to move right now?"

Xiao Ji froze completely.

The wider the curve of Shang Changge's red lips, the more she spoke of what she had always wanted to say but never had the chance to:

Do you know why I was able to tell and be sure you liked me before?

“I made it too obvious.”

Xiao Ji responded cooperatively, no longer dwelling on the matter of male concubines.

Shang Changge shook her head: "No." Her fingers kneaded and played with Xiao Ji's ear; it was soft.

Completely opposite to Xiao Ji's cold and aloof appearance, this man's gentle heart is just like Xiao Ji's.

"Because you don't dare."

"You only dare to kiss me after I kiss you. You've come to my bedchamber countless times at night."

You will embrace me and kiss my lips, but you dare not do anything else.

Shang Changge released Xiao Ji and stopped holding him tightly. Instead, she lowered her head and kissed the man's beautiful, thin lips.

After a fleeting, light kiss, her fingertips began to meticulously trace Xiao Ji's eyebrows and eyes.

"Even if I go further with you, you won't dare to push your luck with me in the same way I do with you."

At first I thought you wouldn't, that you're a pure-hearted man, but then I realized that our General Xiao is already twenty-eight this year.

How could someone truly be completely ignorant about matters of love and intimacy? Right?

"Later, I realized that General Xiao wasn't incapable; he was simply restraining and controlling himself."

And the reason you did this was to avoid offending me, to avoid frightening me, right?

So she's sure she likes him.

You only act cautiously when you like someone.

She only acts recklessly and wantonly towards him because she likes him, yet she restrains herself from doing the same to him.

...

Xiao Ji remained silent, watching Shang Changge's radiant smile under the night sky.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he turned around and pulled the woman into his broad arms.

He rested his chin on Shang Changge's head gently, without actually putting his weight on it, and sighed as if in reflection.

The words that came out were praise, compliments for Shang Changge, and the tone of voice was deliberately light and cheerful:

"I thought the princess knew nothing, but I didn't expect her to be so capable. Hmm, my little rascal is truly remarkable."

Shang Changge could sense the man's current emotion, a kind of emotional turmoil. She disliked sentimentality.

But at this moment, she wanted to be sentimental and hugged Xiao Ji back, touching Xiao Ji's long, dark hair that was also scattered on his shoulders and back.

"Xiao Ji, you can be close to me. Because I like you and I like your closeness."

"I don't keep male concubines. You alone are enough for me."

You say that only I am the one who moves your heart, but isn't it also only you who moves my heart?

Xiao Ji released Shang Changge, and as their eyes met, Shang Changge thought that in this pink bubble atmosphere...

What should have followed was sweet talk and tender words, but instead, Xiao Ji looked at him and said quietly—

"I have heard that the princess was previously in love with Jing Xiuming."

Shang Changge: ...
