Therefore, she had only been back at Biyue Residence for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and before she could even sit down properly, Huo Jingsha returned.
The moment he appeared, You Shuyao felt a throbbing sensation in her temples. Staring at his face, she felt completely uneasy.
As soon as Huo Jingsha entered, his gaze fixed on her, burning hot, like a cat eyeing a mouse, locking onto her tightly.
He was very satisfied with You Shuyao's appearance today, especially seeing that she had her hair styled in a married woman's bun and was wearing the clothes he had carefully chosen for her. Although her face was still a little pale and she only wore a thin layer of light makeup, in Huo Jingsha's eyes, she was simply breathtakingly beautiful. In fact, even if Shuyao's natural beauty was mediocre, as long as she was the woman he had chosen, she was beautiful, and beautiful no matter how he looked at her.
Under his burning gaze, You Shuyao lowered her eyes, her shy and embarrassed expression revealing her reluctance to meet his gaze. She had no idea how to deal with him. This man wasn't so easily appeased; too much resistance would surely displease him, but without resistance, she would be devoured without a trace…
Sigh! She no longer has the same urge to seduce him that she had in her previous lives.
Huo Jingsha strode forward, sat down next to her naturally, and then stretched out his long arm to pull her into his arms.
"Bring the medicine bowl over."
As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately took out the herbal medicine from the warm pot.
Upon hearing this, You Shuyao finally realized that her every move had been monitored. Moreover, she didn't know which informant was so fast that they had reported to Huo Jingsha that she hadn't drunk her medicine in just half an hour, which allowed him to appear at Biyue Residence so quickly.
If it were any other woman, she would be overjoyed to receive such attention from him. But she is no ordinary woman; she is an assassin lurking in the Huo family mansion. Although she no longer intends to kill him, she is now trying to avoid him as much as possible. It would be best if he loathed her so much that he didn't want to see her. Naturally, she wouldn't be happy just because she was favored.
Chunlu served the herbal soup, which was still steaming hot because the temperature was kept just right. It might be too hot to drink right away.
Huo Jingsha took the medicine bowl, stirred it with a spoon and blew on it to cool it down, then brought it to her lips.
"You have to be a good girl and listen to me. The doctor said that this medicine needs to be taken on time and in the prescribed doses to make you recover faster. Yao'er, drink it quickly." His voice was very gentle, and he was coaxing her with great patience.
You Shuyao had just escaped a close call, and Huo Jingsha didn't suspect her. She wouldn't be foolish enough to deliberately disobey at this moment, as that would only cause trouble for both of them. Moreover, she understood one thing very well: when a strong and domineering man like Huo Jingsha was trying to please a woman, that woman had better be sensible, otherwise who knew if he might turn his back on her?
Besides, if she doesn't drink, does she expect him to feed her mouth-to-mouth? He only got his way before because she was unconscious, but now... of course not!
She immediately took the bowl and obediently drank it down in one go. The bitter taste instantly filled her cavity, rushing down her throat and into her internal organs, making her feel extremely nauseous.
Seeing that she obediently finished drinking the wine and her facial features were all contorted, Huo Jingsha immediately took the candied fruit and dried fruit that had been prepared and fed it to her.
You Shuyao shook her head, indicating that she did not want to eat.
Huo Jingsha looked surprised. "I know the medicine is bitter, but taking one will sweeten your mouth."
"I don't like sweets." It was a lie; actually, she loved sweets, but she wanted her mouth to taste bitter so he would dislike it. Don't think she didn't notice; the moment he entered the room, his eyes kept sweeping over her lips, looking like a starving ghost.
However, her plan failed, and she underestimated Huo Jingsha's shamelessness. Seeing that she wouldn't eat the candied fruit, he didn't force her, but instead stuffed it into his own mouth, and then kissed her without warning.
Just as You Shuyao was stunned, he forcefully pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue, ruthlessly entangling and invading her mouth. His sweet-tasting oral cavity launched a passionate assault, quickly and directly licking around her mouth and sucking on her lips and tongue.
His kiss wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely possessive, and he didn't care at all about the extremely bitter taste on her lips. On the contrary, he lingered on it as if he were eating some delicious delicacy.
She doesn't like sweets? No problem! He'll eat them himself and use the sweetness in his mouth to neutralize the bitterness in her mouth. He already knew this medicine was extremely bitter when he fed it to her mouth before. He could see her little face was all scrunched up earlier. He didn't want his little woman to suffer from the bitterness.
You Shuyao froze, almost unable to resist pushing him away forcefully, but thankfully her willpower was strong enough. If she had known he would resort to such tricks, she would have obediently eaten the candied fruit herself. But she thought that even if she had eaten the candied fruit, the outcome would still be the same. From the moment Huo Jingsha entered the room, his gaze never fell elsewhere; his naked eyes were too obvious, just waiting for an opportunity to devour her.
After a moment of hesitation, noticing his hands becoming increasingly unruly, Shu Yao began to consider how to refuse him.
The four maids quickly and tactfully withdrew when he embraced her, and considerately closed the door, leaving the two of them alone to enjoy their love.
"Ugh...it hurts!" When Huo Jingsha opened his mouth and put his earlobe in her mouth, Shu Yao, who had finally gotten a break, immediately cried out, trying to avoid his increasingly reckless behavior.
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Jingsha heard her cry out in pain, he immediately stopped all movement, but he didn't let go of her, instead keeping her in his arms.
"Did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well. Here... let me rub it for you? Yao'er, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..." His large hand gently stroked the gauze on her back, deliberately avoiding the injured area, and his tone was full of affection and tenderness.
You Shuyao's original intention was to make him stop, but she didn't expect him to admit his mistake to her. She looked up at him in surprise and met his tender gaze. It was so direct that she almost couldn't handle it.
It's not her fault. Any woman would find it hard to bear being looked at so tenderly by a man who is usually so hard-hearted and ruthless. It greatly satisfied her weak heart as a woman.
Huo Jingsha's handsome face relaxed, a faint smile playing on his lips. Looking at his smile, Shu Yao had a strange feeling that the man in front of her... was not the same person as the one who was ruthless and merciless. They had the same face, yet he could express the two extremes of "evil" and "good" so vividly.
This version of him felt unfamiliar to her, and the feeling of being cherished also felt unfamiliar to her!
He stared at her rosy lips, his desire rising again, and wanted to lean in for another deep kiss, but she immediately turned her head away.
"I'm sleepy after taking the medicine."
Despite her best efforts to suppress it, her body would involuntarily reject his advances.
Seeing that she slightly pouted her lips and turned her face away from him, refusing to let him kiss her, Huo Jingsha smiled.
"Okay, whatever you say. I'm sleepy, so be it."
He seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mind her casually made-up rejection at all. Instead, he whispered softly in her ear with great interest.
His attitude was completely different from before; he was so indulgent, so doting, so accommodating. Her attitude towards him was lukewarm; she avoided him whenever possible, not wanting to upset him, but also not wanting to go to the trouble of pleasing him.
