Chapter 223
Tao Tao felt her throat was a little dry. Since there was no one to keep watch over her at night, she had to get out of bed to get some water herself.
Suddenly, she felt a cold wind blowing in from the doorway. She wondered why the wind was still coming in when she had closed the door.
She walked around the screen, went to the door, stood in front of the door that was swaying in the wind, wearing only a thin garment, peeked out casually a couple of times, and then closed the door.
She had just closed the door when she suddenly felt a figure behind her envelop her in shadow. Then, the figure leaned down, put his hands around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Tao Tao trembled with fright, but quickly relaxed after smelling that familiar scent.
In less than a second, she realized that this person should be on his way to Suizhou, so why was he here?
The man felt the soft, hot body in his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, buried his face in her snowy neck, lightly kissed her, and spoke in a deep voice in her ear.
"Why is it so hot? Have you called a doctor to come and take a look?"
Tao Tao's face stiffened for a moment. She swallowed, blinked, and asked softly, "Why are you here? Weren't you going to Suizhou?"
"I was worried about you, so I rushed back halfway. It's okay, let them go first."
His deep, husky voice was filled with tenderness and affection. His tall, imposing figure enveloped her completely. His left hand gripped her waist tightly, while his right hand parted the long hair at the back of her neck. His cool lips pressed against her bare skin and sucked.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, becoming limp and weak, panting softly as she leaned back.
"It's so hot I'm sweating." He tasted a salty, bitter sweat on his tongue, and his fingertips parted his underwear and slowly reached down.
"I've heard that besides medication, the fastest way to treat a high fever is to sweat it out. Let me help you..."
Suddenly, her pupils contracted, her breathing became heavy, her face flushed, tears welled in her eyes, and her expression was a mixture of pleasure and pain. The hair on her forehead was quickly soaked with sweat.
The girl bit her lower lip tightly, shook her dizzy head, and tried to stay awake, her hand gripping the large hand under her underwear tightly.
She sobbed, almost groaning, "...Stop...stop! I...I don't need..."
"Don't need it? Little Peach really doesn't need it?" The indistinct syllables entered her burning ears along with the smacking kisses on her neck.
"I've been thinking about this all the way here and I still don't feel at ease. I'll only feel safe if I eat you, my little peach."
It's pink, soft, and juicy, like a fresh and tender peach. I don't know when I'll be able to return from Suizhou, and I won't feel at ease until I eat it.
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao immediately forced herself to wake up, took a deep breath, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a broken whimper burst out, making her so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bite the person behind her to death.
"That bastard, that scoundrel, he's got a screw loose!" she cursed inwardly.
"Shiro...I...I'm...coming my period..."
Her voice trembled as she managed to utter the entire sentence with great difficulty.
Suddenly, a snickering laugh reached my ears, tinged with a hint of mockery, and a soft voice said, "I remember your schedule, there's no reason for you to come twice a month."
"Or are you trying to fool me into thinking I don't understand women's matters? A mouth is for asking questions, not for spouting nonsense and making things up like you do."
She was speechless for a moment because of what he said, and coupled with her dizziness, she couldn't think straight at all.
Her limbs and body were all limp and powerless. If it weren't for the large hand around her waist holding her tightly in his arms, she probably would have already slipped down.
Suddenly, she gasped for breath, her body tense like a fully drawn bow. Her left hand gripped his forearm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh and drawing blood, yet he still wouldn't let her go.
A moment later, she collapsed weakly into his arms, looking as if she had been pulled out of the water, and sobbed weakly.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and chuckled softly, a wicked glint flashing in his dark eyes.
He clamped two fingers around her pointed chin, turned her head to face him, and kissed her still panting lips, repeatedly savoring and ravaging them.
He even fed her food that she hadn't swallowed yet, and when he sensed her resistance, he sucked on her tongue and blocked her lips, forcing her to swallow.
"...Are you... sick?! Disgusting..."
Disdainful words spilled from their intertwined lips.
Tao Tao frowned, her eyes half-closed, her gaze becoming hazy and watery, her long eyelashes trembling uneasily, and tears sliding down her cheeks like pearls.
"How could it be disgusting? It's clearly very sweet..." he sighed contentedly.
Duan Gan turned her body to face him, his aggressive gaze fixed on her eyes, his forehead pressed against her sweaty forehead, just in time to feel if she was still burning up.
"Qingqing, what should we do? It's still so hot, you'll have to sweat even more."
He called out affectionately, feigning helplessness as he spoke in highly veiled language. With a sigh, he reached under her knees, scooped her up, and carried her into the inner room.
Standing by the bed, he placed her in the soft brocade quilt, covered her with it, knelt on either side of her with his legs apart, lowered his head and kissed her lips tenderly, his fingers intertwined with hers.
She frowned, and said breathlessly with sobs, "Fourth...Fourth Brother, let's do it another day...I...I'm feeling a bit unwell. If I give it to you, how...how will you go to Suizhou...heh..."
The girl's clothes were loose, revealing the pink ribbon at her slender neck, her delicate collarbone, her snow-white and soft skin, and her slender waist and flat stomach.
He reached out and pressed his palm against her soft belly, gazing down at her, and murmured, "So thin. How did the people in the Prince's mansion take care of you? A bunch of useless trash."
Tao Tao was speechless, completely baffled by his thought process. What did the Prince Guan's mansion have to do with this?
Suddenly she heard his muffled laughter again. He then looked up at her, his warm lips pressed against hers with a teasing laugh, and he whispered in her ear.
Upon hearing this, she widened her eyes, stared at him in shock, gasped, and said with utter despair, "Can you please stop talking? Just shut up!"
After saying that, she began to sob and cry, her mind a complete blank, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
She wanted to rest and sleep. If that bastard wanted to go to Suizhou, he should have gone to Suizhou. Why did he have to turn back and torment her? She should have known better than to take a cold shower. What could he do if he found out?
Seeing her crying so pitifully and aggrievedly, the man tenderly sucked away her tears with his lips, gently coaxing her, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, little Tao'er, don't cry..."
Suddenly, she stopped crying, raised herself slightly, bit her lower lip, and slapped him across the face, producing a crisp slapping sound.
Silence reigned, candlelight flickered, and the room fell into complete tranquility.
