Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Stealing a moment of pleasure.
Xie Zhi's eyes grew darker by the second.
The white jade mask was well preserved, and it was obvious that it was a beloved item that had been carefully cared for.
It turned out to be him.
He should have guessed it was his.
Why did Nie Xiangyi mistake him for the person she met during the Lantern Festival? Because he looked like the prince.
The difference was that, due to his long-term frailty, the prince was paler and softer than he, and his figure was thinner. Unlike him, there was a cold and hard air in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Having had his things robbed so many times, the offensive and defensive situation suddenly reversed, and today he suddenly felt the absurdity of being someone else's substitute.
He had never taken the prince's provocation seriously before.
Xie Chengxin seemed to notice his gaze, "It seems that Third Brother is also interested in my things."
He covered his face with the mask, half-smile, revealing only a pair of sinister, cold eyes. "How does this mask compare to your bronze ghost mask?"
As he said this, he scoffed and put the mask back in its place.
"What a pity, Third Brother. I can take your things, but you can't take mine."
Xie Zhi's eyes flashed with a sharpness that the prince had never seen before.
Does the prince know that the owner of this white jade mask is his current wife?
Xie Zhi was certain that he must not know.
Otherwise, given the prince's personality, he would definitely try every means to obstruct his marriage with Nie Xiangyi.
"It's just a mask." Xie Zhi retracted his gaze, his expression returning to his usual indifference, "Royal brother, you also only have a mask."
It was still the condescending Xie Zhi.
He held the kitten in his arms and turned away.
"Madam, His Highness's carriage is almost at the gate."
"So fast?" Nie Xiangyi's hands trembled in panic when he heard this, and he filled the wine glass on the table with a red face.
There was a table full of delicacies, fine wine and delicious food.
After the servants had placed all the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Nie Xiangyi closed the door and hurried out to greet him.
"Your Highness!"
The carriage stopped, and before Xie Zhi got off, Nie Xiangyi heard an extremely subtle, soft voice.
“Meow—”
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she stepped forward to open the curtain of the carriage, but bumped into Xie Zhi who was about to get off.
"How shameless!"
Xie Zhi's expression today was not very good.
For some reason, Nie Xiangyi could always discern his mood from his cold expression.
"All you do every day is criticize me for being a disgrace..." Nie Xiangyi muttered to himself.
After Xie Zhi got off the carriage, she poked her head out and looked around, curiously searching inside the carriage. "Your Highness, I thought I heard the cry of a kitten just now. Could there be a wild cat hiding in the carriage?"
"Meow--"
Another cat meow came from behind.
Nie Xiangyi turned her head suddenly, and a snow-white kitten popped its head out from Xie Zhi's arms and called softly to her.
"Where did this kitten come from! It's so cute!" Surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes. She picked up the kitten from Xie Zhi's arms, rubbed the kitten's head, pinched the kitten's ears, and looked very curious.
"It was given by my mother." Xie Zhi didn't say anything else.
"As expected, it's obviously an imported kitten." She turned her head and looked at Xie Zhi, "Your Highness! Does it have a name?"
"Xi Shi." Xie Zhi pursed his lips. For some reason, this name suddenly popped up in his mind.
He looked quietly at Nie Xiangyi's eyes filled with joy, her dark pupils round and bright, as cute as the kitten in her arms.
Do we want to set things right?
It would never be possible. From the moment Nie Xiangyi threw herself into his arms that night, crying softly and asking him to help her, it had been impossible.
It was just a mask. He could never let Nie Xiangyi see the prince.
The prince had taken away so many things from him, so he had to take something away from him too.
No, it can't be called robbery.
She was his legitimate wife.
Nie Xiangyi held the kitten affectionately, kissing and kneading it, completely oblivious to the way Xie Zhi looked at her with his dark eyes, which were filled with sticky gloom.
"Xi Shi! She is really as beautiful as Xi Shi!"
She suddenly remembered the little cat Xue Mo that Jiang Yun'e had killed before. She couldn't help but pout and rubbed Xishi's head, "I will protect you well this time."
As Nie Xiangyi and Xie Zhi walked into the mansion, she realized that Xie Zhi's eyes seemed to be on her.
His dark eyes were like a pool of deep water, and it was impossible to see all the emotions inside.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that..." This look made her feel as if she was seen through.
It was as if Xie Zhi already knew all her little plans.
Nie Xiangyi was already a little unsure about today's arrangements, and when he looked at her like that, she felt even more inexplicably guilty.
He wouldn't scold me again for being so disrespectful, would he?
Xie Zhi just lowered his eyes, "Nothing."
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the table inside was filled with delicacies and fine wines.
Xie Zhi rarely drank alcohol, so seeing this, Nie Xiangyi simply explained dryly, "I... I had nothing to do, so I suddenly felt like having a couple of drinks today."
Cousin Lingyu said that a person as old-fashioned and ascetic as Xie Zhi always needs some external help to break his usual seriousness and rigidity.
She also said that the more self-respecting and aloof a person is, the more likely they will become crazy and uncontrollable if they cross the line one day.
No matter how Nie Xiangyi looked at it, she couldn't connect Xie Zhi with the words "crazy and uncontrollable".
But it’s always right to listen to my cousin.
Xie Zhi didn't say much, just sat opposite her.
Since their marriage, Xie Zhi had always strictly followed the rules, his every move reflecting the dignity of a prince. Even when eating, they ate facing each other, without the slightest hint of newlywed intimacy.
Nie Xiangyi raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Zhi, then raised her butt and quietly moved the stool towards Xie Zhi.
Seeing that Xie Zhi didn't react, she quietly moved a few steps further.
After repeating this several times, he finally got closer to Xie Zhi.
"If you move the stool again, you will sit on me." Xie Zhi looked straight ahead and spoke in a cold voice.
Nie Xiangyi blushed after being exposed. "Alright, alright, I'm being disrespectful again!"
She simply ignored it and sat down next to Xie Zhi, saying with a confident tone, "I just want to be closer to His Highness!"
Xie Zhi's gloomy mood was temporarily relieved by the lingering fragrance of gardenia.
"Your Highness, this wine is the Amber Light that my grandfather brought back from Shanzhou. It is different from the fine wines in the capital. Your Highness, why don't you try it?"
Nie Xiangyi blinked her expectant eyes and looked up at Xie Zhi.
The wine at the border was not as strong as that in the capital. Nie Xiangyi, listening to Zhong Lingyu's words, had taken the jar of wine, intending to get Xie Zhi drunk.
Xie Zhi's gaze swept calmly across the room. The maids and servants had all been dismissed, leaving only the two of them. A sweet aroma lingered from the purple-gold incense burner, and the room was so quiet it was almost eerie.
He immediately understood what Nie Xiangyi wanted to do.
Xie Zhi clenched the wine cup tightly, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, as if all this did not belong to him.
He stole Nie Xiangyi's love from the prince.
This thought kept emerging in his mind like a tight spell, constantly tearing him apart.
But he couldn't help but develop an overwhelming possessive desire.
His eyes were gloomy and he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.
After a few drinks, before Xie Zhi could react, Nie Xiangyi's eyes were already filled with confusion.
"Your Highness, are you drunk?"
Xie Zhi half-closed his eyes and looked at Nie Xiangyi, whose cheeks flushed, eyes were hazy, and she looked at him lazily with her head tilted.
"Not drunk," said Xie Zhi. He had been a manager in Shanzhou for several years and was no stranger to this kind of wine.
"What should I do? I seem a little drunk..." Her red face showed some distress, "I still have some important things to do..."
"What's up?"
Nie Xiangyi blinked slowly, as if recalling something. Then he looked at Xie Zhi and grinned, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you!"
There was silence in the room for a while.
Just as Nie Xiangyi was about to fall asleep, cold lips came down and suddenly kissed her.
The strong aroma of wine immediately bloomed between the two people's lips and teeth, intertwining and entwining.
The smell of wine with the fragrance of gardenia made Xie Zhi feel a little drunk for no reason.
He didn't want to keep to himself any longer.
An unprecedented sense of crisis and possessiveness swallowed up all his rules and regulations and all the constraints of etiquette.
"Nie Xiangyi, it can only be me."
No matter you regret it or not, there is only him, Xie Zhi.
"Um... Your Highness..." Her soft cries were completely swallowed by Xie Zhi. The long kiss with a hot breath almost suffocated Nie Xiangyi.
She felt a vague sense of joy in her heart. They should have been like this long ago.
Xie Zhi's eyes flickered, like a wild beast hunting in the dark. With just a light bite, he could easily bite off the throat of this little kitten.
The hot lips fell on the neck little by little, and moved down with a tingling sensation.
Nie Xiangyi's voice was filled with soft tears, as if she had been badly bullied and pitiful, "Your Highness..."
"Call my name." He whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder unbearably. "Ruheng."
Steal a sound to enjoy the pleasure.
"Aheng...it hurts..." Nie Xiangyi's eyes were red and he frowned pitifully as he looked at Xie Zhi.
She shed a tear, which soaked the quilt.
It was much more unbearable than the white jade fingertips I had with Chinese medicine that day.
But she had never seen Xie Zhi like this. He was always as cold and pure as jade, but now the corners of his eyes were red, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was tinged with a moving desire.
His features were already picturesque, delicate and handsome, but now when he lowered his eyes to look at her, the emotion in his eyes almost wanted to tear her apart.
Nie Xiangyi was blinded by him for no reason.
She felt like a boat drifting in the wind and waves. She could only look up to see the intricate patterns on the gauze curtains, or look down to see the wrinkles on the brocade quilt.
Her mind was in a state of confusion. She had no idea what the fire avoidance diagram or the storybook were. She could only continue to follow Xie Zhi's movements, calling out softly with tears in her voice, "Ruheng... Ah Heng..."
Xie Zhi seemed to like her calling him that.
It was so unbearable that she crumpled the quilt several times and tried to escape, but she was like a prey with its neck bitten, and could only be eaten away bit by bit.
She had never thought that someone as aloof and dignified as Xie Zhi would behave so out of control, like an insatiable beast that would slowly savor the delicious taste of its prey after feasting on it.
"Spoiled." Xie Zhi's voice was low and hoarse, with a slight chuckle in it.
She was indeed a bit delicate. She couldn't stand it if he was too heavy, too long, or too painful. She would always look at him pitifully with tears in her eyes, whimpering and sobbing, saying no.
"No... Ah Heng..." She gently pushed Xie Zhi's body, and his tight muscles were slightly cool and slippery due to sweat. "That's enough... Stop..."
Xie Zhi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "No, Xiangyi."
