force
After a while, the sound of a man walking was heard on the deck above. Lin Huai'en eavesdropped and waited for the voice to go away. Then he fled back to the room in the dark night, cowering like a mouse, for fear of being caught by Di Shaoze.
"Husband! Husband!" After lying on the bed, Lin Huai'en couldn't fall asleep, so he pulled Xue Dingchu's sleeve a few times and said, "Husband, I'm a little scared. Can you sleep with me tonight?"
Xue Dingchu, who was lying on the floor, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and lay on the edge of the bed. He pulled up the quilt, covering Lin Huai'en tightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll watch you sleep. If anything sneaky touches you, I'll be the first to see it."
Xue Dingchu's pair of dark pupils always have a kind of determination that is unmoved by wind and rain, and can always bring a sense of security to others.
"Then you sleep when I sleep."
"Um……"
Lin Huai'en leaned his head on Xue Dingchu's warm shoulder, seeking shelter and a sense of security, and closed his eyes.
A dreamless night.
After this night, Lin Huai'en felt a pang of regret and didn't want to confront Di Shaoze. However, Di Shaoze was his only immediate superior, so even if it was for official business, he had to meet him.
During the annual southern tour, there wasn't much official business to deal with. Many ministers came with a casual attitude. The only concerns were monitoring the performance of officials across the country and recruiting talented individuals.
Emperor Shaoze sat in the main seat in the study, first listening quietly to the ministers' proposals, then frowned and criticized in a loud voice: "Every year, they check the account books and official records. Local officials have long been familiar with this routine. It's the fifth year, and it's still the same old routine? Are your brains just decorations?"
The ministers became terrified and dared not speak anymore.
Lin Huai'en was sitting in the deputy seat drinking tea. Hearing such a stern tone, he couldn't help but look up at Di Shaoze's expression - his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes were narrowed into a dangerous line. It was obvious that he had reached the peak of anger.
It's really hypocritical...
Just looking at Di Shaoze's good looks and stern expression, who could connect him with the playboy from last night?
If Lin Huai'en hadn't experienced it personally, he couldn't have imagined that Di Shaoze would have evil desires for him, a pregnant woman?
But there is one thing that is really strange.
Why would Di Shaoze flirt with him? With Di Shaoze's looks and status, he could easily get any beauty he wanted. Even if his desires were truly insatiable, he could just expand his harem, gathering all the young beauties in the capital and even the entire dynasty. Why did he have to force himself on a good citizen in the middle of the night?
Did Di Shaoze have a special fetish? He didn't like the fresh flowers and plants that were delivered to his door, but only liked to force pregnant men like him?
Hmm…
As Lin Huai'en thought about it, he frowned in disgust and secretly rolled his eyes at Di Shaoze.
After finishing his lecture, Di Shaoze turned his handsome face to face Lin Huai'en. The anger in his words had mostly dissipated, and his tone softened instead. "My dear, do you have any plans?"
Lin Huai'en put down his teacup and said leisurely, "Why not go on a tour incognito? Catch him off guard."
"Master Lin, your opinion is profound."
"Master Lin, this is a brilliant move."
The ministers were all afraid that His Majesty would get angry, but they also knew that His Majesty would not be cruel to Lin Huai'en, so they quickly used good words to praise Lin Huai'en, as if they were hiding in Lin Huai'en's camp.
Di Shaoze stroked his forehead and said, "Just do as Lord Lin said. You can leave now."
The ministers bowed as if they had been pardoned and said, "Yes."
Lin Huai'en's pupils trembled as he watched his colleagues flee the door one by one. He couldn't help but want to escape as well. He couldn't be alone with Di Shaoze! What if Di Shaoze tried to take advantage of him again? He was a weak and pregnant man and couldn't resist. Wouldn't he have no choice but to jump into the river to protect his innocence?
Thinking of this, Lin Huai'en took another sip of tea and took the opportunity to hold the teacup tightly in his hand so that he could smash Di Shaoze's head at any time.
Di Shaoze asked directly: "My dear, did you go to the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze last night?"
Last night, since he accidentally exposed his thoughts, Di Shaoze no longer planned to pretend to be a good person. He simply tore off his face and took Lin Huai'en back to his side again.
Lin Huai'en's back tensed, his whole body on guard, and he asked tentatively: "Yes... so what?"
As soon as the words fell, Di Shaoze pressed forward, pressing on Lin Huai'en, and put his eyes against Lin Huai'en's. His eyes were cloudy, mixed with strong desire, and he said: "My dear, I like you. Will you promise me? I will give you the kingdom, money, and power. As long as you are willing to obey me."
"You!" Lin Huai'en cried out in a hurry. Just as he was about to throw the teacup away, he found that his wrist had been grabbed by the man. Lin Huai'en had no way to resist. He hurriedly turned his face away, avoiding Di Shaoze's eyes. "I already have a man and I'm pregnant with his child. Your Majesty, please don't force me!"
Two people were squeezed into a small chair. Lin Huai'en felt the man's hot breath on his neck, like a wolf about to be stabbed in the throat, feeling his own vulnerability.
If Di Shaoze wanted to use force, he would not be his match. Lin Huai'en's eyelashes trembled violently, and even small tears oozed out, his heart filled with humiliation and grievance.
Seeing Lin Huai'en's tears, Di Shaoze's desire immediately subsided. A pain rose in his heart and he withdrew his hands and feet, "I was too impatient."
Di Shaoze hadn't smelled Lin Huai'en's breath for too long, and hadn't felt Lin Huai'en's body for too long. He was like a wolf that was extremely hungry. As soon as he got a taste of meat last night, he could no longer control his desire to possess him.
But in Lin Huai'en's heart, he was just a stranger, even a stranger with impure intentions who he could not avoid...
