Just as she was silently comforting herself, she suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulder. It turned out that his large hand had pressed down on her, the heat penetrating her thin clothes and reaching her skin.
But he wouldn't stay still. Shu Yao could feel his hand slowly sliding down her shoulder, following the curve of her body as she slept on her side, reaching into the quilt, touching her from her shoulder to her waist, and then rubbing her lower abdomen lightly and heavily.
Although she appeared to be sleeping peacefully, her heart was actually pounding with anxiety as the large hands roamed over her body.
I don't understand what he's trying to do. Didn't he see she was resting? How dare he launch a sneak attack!
After caressing her belly enough, his large hand gently slipped inside her inner garment. Compared to her delicate and smooth skin, the calluses on his fingertips seemed particularly rough, bringing a burning and tingling sensation wherever they touched.
Suddenly, she felt a heat near her ear; it was the man's cool breath approaching. His thin lips pressed against her sensitive neck, slowly nibbling and sucking. A few specks of stubble on his chin brushed against her skin... Good heavens! This scoundrel is so tantalizing! How can someone so blatantly seduce a seriously injured patient?
If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have been aroused and moaning by now.
A raging desire spread through the bed curtains, making the already stuffy space even more unbearably hot. He didn't wake her with a sound, but instead tormented her in this agonizing way. But she was pretending to be asleep, and could only pretend not to know, truly suffering in silence.
Huo Jingsha carefully admired her beautiful profile... Her long eyelashes were thick and bushy, her small nose was straight and upturned, and her delicate mouth was small and well-shaped. Her breathing was shallow, and her pulse was steady, seemingly indicating a deep sleep. However, after his flirtatious advances, the more deeply she slept, the more it seemed like she was faking it!
His deep, burning gaze swept over her from head to toe, finally settling on her neck. Huo Jingsha smiled slyly, teasing her with the tip of his tongue, and unsurprisingly saw a few tiny white bumps appear on her skin.
Huo Jingsha didn't expose her, allowing her to continue pretending to be asleep. But he kissed her cheeks even more passionately than before, sucking on her earlobe and savoring it as if he were eating a delicious delicacy.
His hand slowly moved upwards, his long, slender fingers enveloping a soft spot he had longed for. As he closed his grip, his breath became increasingly erratic. This feeling... was even more arousing than the day he took the aphrodisiac.
You Shuyao kept her eyes closed, her breathing steady and shallow, showing no response to his teasing. But heaven knows how much torment she was experiencing. If he dared to be so wanton while she was asleep, what would happen when she was awake? Wouldn't he devour her alive?
No! She had endured this long, and she absolutely could not surrender at this moment. She could only continue to hold on, but her slightly furrowed brows betrayed her true thoughts.
Knock knock—There were two light knocks on the door.
Then came a low voice from one of his subordinates, "Sir, Vice Minister Zheng from the Ministry of War has come to visit."
You Shuyao was overjoyed, thinking that Huo Jingsha would stop and leave immediately, but he only replied slowly.
"Make him wait!"
Make him wait...? Good heavens! Is he going to leave him hanging? Who said he wasn't interested in women? Besides, Minister Zheng of the Ministry of War is a high-ranking official of the third rank, above you in rank, and you're making him wait?
You Shuyao almost gritted her teeth to pieces, but the man not only didn't stop, his restless hands shamelessly moved downwards... Damn it! She couldn't hold back any longer.
To wake up or not to wake up? That is the question! If I wake up, I will break my promise; if I don't wake up, I will lose my chastity.
Just as she was caught in a mental struggle, her subordinate, who had been waiting outside for a long time, gave her another reminder.
"My lord, Vice Minister Zheng has come to deliver an imperial edict."
Upon hearing this, the wicked hand finally stopped, just an inch away from confirming its reputation as a lecher.
Huo Jingsha sighed as if it were a great pity, withdrew his hand, tucked the blanket back in, then got up from the bed, gulped down a cup of cold tea that had been left on the table, and gave the people outside another instruction to serve her well before leaving with his subordinates with steady steps.
Although the person was gone, their aggressive aura still lingered inside the bed curtains and remained on You Shuyao's skin.
Shu Yao slowly opened her eyes, only now daring to breathe heavily. She had been holding her breath for too long, and almost lost her composure and gave herself away.
She was extremely annoyed. Given the situation, it was only a matter of time before Huo Jingsha took her. The thought of having to submit to him made her feel cold all over and miserable.
At this moment, Mingxia entered the room. Seeing that she was awake, she put on a fake smile and went up to ingratiate herself.
"Miss, would you like some water?"
You Shuyao looked up at Mingxia and saw her scrutinizing her with ulterior motives. She knew that Mingxia had come to check on her on purpose. Humph! Knowing what Huo Jingsha had done with her in the room earlier, she still pretended to come and inquire. Did she really think everyone else was a fool?
At that moment, she was feeling aggrieved because she had been taken advantage of, and she also felt disgusted by Mingxia's petty nature. She wanted to send her away, but suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.
She stared at Mingxia, thinking of ways to take advantage of her, and then smiled.
"Mingxia, I've been lying in bed for too long and my limbs are stiff. I want to go out and stretch my muscles. Would you like to come with me for a walk in the garden?"
When Mingxia saw her smile, unlike her usual stern face, she thought it must be related to the adult's intimate behavior just now, which made the woman so happy. She couldn't help but curse her shamelessness in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face and returned the smile with a fawning smile.
"Yes, this servant will help you up and change your clothes. It would be good for you to go outside for a walk so you can recover faster." Mingxia stepped forward kindly, appearing considerate and gentle.
Although she was jealous of You Shuyao, she knew the principle of "even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner." This girl now had an adult backing her up, and if she displeased her, she wouldn't get away with it. Besides, serving here had one advantage: she could often see the adult. Who knew that one day the adult might tire of this little wretch and discover her beauty?
With Mingxia's help, You Shuyao walked around the courtyard, looking east and west. Since so many eyes were watching, she decided to let them look all they wanted, thus avoiding their suspicions.
As You Shuyao had expected, with Mingxia accompanying her, the two left Biyue Residence without any trouble. She then made an excuse that she needed to use the restroom, and Mingxia, without suspecting anything, helped her walk towards the side courtyard.
Once inside the washroom, You Shuyao deliberately raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I'm injured and will be slow. I definitely won't be out for a while. If you can't wait outside, you can come in and serve me."
Mingxia didn't want to go in and smell the stench, so she quickly said, "No rush, Miss, please take your time. I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, please just call me."
You Shuyao glanced at her and sighed. "Alright, I'll take my time, but to avoid tearing the wound, I'll be quite slow, so please don't rush me." With that, she turned and went inside.
Mingxia waited outside, so the others would assume she was inside. Taking advantage of this opportunity, You Shuyao endured the pain from her wounds, and with a light and nimble movement, slipped out of the ventilation window at the back without anyone noticing.
