"Wait!" Jiang Mianmian pushed against his strong chest with her small hand.
Those bright, large eyes blinked twice, and she asked softly, "Isn't His Majesty the King supposed to be hospitable? It doesn't make sense to arrange such a small room for us, does it? Besides, the Grand Palace is so big..."
"His Majesty the King said there's only one room!" Huo Junyu said seriously. "Mianmian, don't bother His Majesty the King over such a trivial matter..."
He coughed lightly twice, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Tonight, let's just make do with this, okay?"
"But……"
Before Jiang Mianmian could refute, her lips were sealed by the man's passionate kiss.
It's been so long since I kissed her like this...
Huo Junyu held her tightly, feeling as satisfied as if he had the whole world. His hand gently stroked her slender back, like stroking a kitten's neck, and gently held her soft nape.
The other hand, which was wrapped around her waist, gradually became restless.
Jiang Mianmian's heart raced, a wave of confusion and bewilderment washing over her, leaving her at a loss for what to do next...
Huo Junyu began to push his luck, pushing her toward the small bed.
His deep, husky voice was igniting a fire in her ear:
Go to bed early.
"Junyu..."
He held her small hand, a roguish smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with starlight-like doting affection and tenderness.
Jiang Mianmian's cheeks flushed, and her red earlobes resembled ripe cherries. She reluctantly sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Mianmian, I want... you."
Jiang Mianmian dared not look at him, and even stopped breathing.
She could only hear her own heart pounding; her mind was completely blank.
However, just as his hand reached to unbutton her collar...
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly flung open!
Jiang Mianmian was startled and almost screamed. Huo Junyu shielded her behind him and stared at the person who came in through the door.
"Young...Young Master?"
Now it was Asu's turn to turn pale with shock. "How...how did you and Miss Mianmian end up here with me?"
"What?" Jiang Mianmian was taken aback and peeked out from behind Huo Junyu. "This is your room?"
“Yes, this is my study.” Asu smiled awkwardly. “I usually help His Majesty with some documents here. Sometimes, when I’ve been working for a long time, I lie down on this little bed for a while…”
When the topic of a small bed came up, Asu seemed to instantly understand something.
Huo Junyu's face flushed red and then turned pale; he wished he could disappear into a hole!
He had visited the Grand Palace several times before, and each time his accommodation was arranged by a specialist; he had never found a room himself.
I just spotted this place because I found it to be quiet and peaceful, and most importantly, the bed is small, which is why I chose it.
Unexpectedly...
Huo Junyu forced a very unnatural smile.
As for Asu, being an experienced person, he immediately understood what the kid was thinking.
"Young Master," he stepped forward, respectfully offering an excuse, "Did you perhaps come to the wrong room?"
"Oh, ah... yes!" Huo Junyu forced a serious expression. "It's been so many years since I've been here. I... I'm not familiar with this place at all!"
I'm so sorry I accidentally wandered into your study.
"It's alright. His Majesty the King has arranged a room for Miss Mianmian, right next to Pearl Spring," Asu said with a smile. "Miss Mianmian, please come with me."
Jiang Mianmian lowered her eyes, her face flushed, and slowly walked past Huo Junyu.
Huo Junyu hurriedly followed.
Ah Su turned to look at him and said, "Young Master, someone will take you to your lodgings in a little while!"
"What?" Huo Junyu was taken aback. "We're not living together?"
Asu was trying so hard not to laugh that she almost hurt herself, but she still had to pretend to be serious and said to him, "Young Master, what are you saying? You and Miss Mianmian are not married yet, how can you live together? The palace rules are strict, and the separation of men and women is the most important rule. Young Master, you haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"Then...where will I stay?"
"Juhui Pavilion".
"What?!"
Huo Junyu almost jumped up again.
If you look at the map, the entire Grand Palace is square, with Pearl Spring in the upper left corner and Juhui Pavilion in the lower right corner...
Who arranged this? It must have been intentional!
Huo Junyu took a few deep breaths and stared at Asu with wide eyes.
"Even if the palace rules are strict, is it really necessary to arrange for us to be so far away?"
Asu just smiled and remained silent.
The young lord he knew was a typical example of someone mature beyond his years, composed and wise at a young age, decisive and ruthless, quite like the heir to the Huo family.
There aren't many things that could make him lose control, but nothing could make him jump up and down like this!
I am truly fortunate to witness such a rare sight today.
Asu couldn't help but give His Majesty a thumbs up in his heart.
Huo Junyu then asked, "Where do Yangyang and the others live?"
"The Second Young Master and Miss Ranran both live in Lingyue Bay."
Huo Junyu immediately raised his voice, his tone changing completely, "They're not married either!"
"Young Master, calm down..." Asu almost couldn't hold back, "Lingyue Bay is a big place, they each have their own room, they don't stay together!"
Huo Junyu's face darkened as he felt a bird cawing overhead.
Not far away, He Jin hid in the shadows and chuckled to himself.
Remember when this kid used his dad to threaten him last time, saying that if he didn't agree to his conditions, he would make sure his dad never came to Southeast Asia again?
Hey, then this time don't live close to your sweetheart!
Let's see if you dare threaten me again!
He Jin curled his lips, cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and strolled away with satisfied steps.
