Chapter 168 The Emperor's "Behind-the-Scenes" Declaration
The sea breeze, carrying the lingering heat of the day, gently brushed past the delicate window lattices of the Governor's Mansion in Yanmao Port and the residence of Nangong Ye and his wife. Moonlight filtered through the gauze, casting a hazy glow across the room.
East Wing: The Emperor's "Behind-the-Scenes" Declaration
After taking a bath, Nangong Yu, wearing only a light and soft silk nightgown and still damp with moisture, approached Dongfang Qiwu, who was leaning on the soft couch by the window, reading the Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce quarterly briefing by the bright glass lamp.
He reached out his hand, trying to pull away the briefing he was concentrating on, his voice sticky with a hint of grievance:
"Wu'er, it's late, it's time to rest. We came out..."
He wanted to say
"It is about traveling and enjoying life",
The words got stuck at the tip of my tongue.
Dongfang Qiwu didn't look up, but his fingers that were turning the page paused.
She put down the briefing and raised her eyes. Her phoenix eyes, which looked even wiser and brighter under the light, looked straight at Nangong Yu with unprecedented seriousness and a subtle pleading.
"Husband."
The word "husband" made Nangong Yu's heart tremble more than any other title.
"Here, there is no queen mother, no emperor. I am just Dongfang Qiwu."
Her voice was clear and firm, carrying the power of rebirth.
"The connections of this Chamber of Commerce, the vitality of this harbor, and the joy of interacting with people make me feel... alive and valuable.
Can you... support me like this? I want to be someone else's vassal, not someone else's."
The moonlight outlined her soft profile and also reflected the burning light in her eyes, which was called self.
All of Nangong Yu's prepared words about leisure and enjoyment vanished under this gaze.
He looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar wife, the queen who was graceful and elegant in the deep palace but bound by invisible shackles. At this moment, she was like a plant that had absorbed the sunshine and rain, stretching its branches and leaves, and exuding amazing vitality.
A warm feeling mixed with pride and relief instantly surged into my heart.
He reached out his hand, not to grab the briefing, but to gently cover the back of her hand that was placed on the briefing.
The palms are warm, carrying an unquestionable promise.
"good."
Nangong Yu's voice was low and solemn, his eyes full of pampering and support.
"I... No, I, Nangong Yu, will be the husband behind Wu'er!
I will light the lamp and grind ink for you, wave the flag and cheer for you, and block all troubles for you! Fly as high as you want, and when you get tired, I will always be there for you.
He leaned close to her, his warm breath brushing against her ear with a hint of sultry ambiguity:
"Of course, when the night is quiet, Wu'er, don't forget that your husband behind you...also needs Wu'er's personal comfort."
The last few words were spoken in a very low voice, with a hint that made your heart beat faster.
Two red clouds instantly appeared on Dongfang Qiwu's cheeks. She glared at him angrily, but her eyes were shining, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The briefing was completely forgotten in a corner of the couch. Nangong Yu chuckled softly, leaned over, and placed a gentle and lingering kiss on her lips, carrying the scent of the sea breeze.
The window screen moved slightly, hiding the beauty in the room. Only low whispers and intertwined breaths were ambiguously drawn in the moonlight.
【Drip! 】
The electronic sound of System 118 sounded inappropriately in Dongfang Yuning's head next door.
[Detected that the emotional energy of the neighboring unit is fluctuating violently! Keywords: support, husband behind the scenes, personal comfort!
The actions of the brother-in-law of the retired emperor can be described as "declaration of love for his wife and full level of sweet words"!
The Queen Mother's 'career brain' was successfully soothed and transformed into a 'love brain' (night limited edition)!
Energy conversion efficiency: 100%! Sweetness: Intoxicating! Host, learn this!
Dongfang Yuning:
[…118, that’s enough! Don’t interrupt me while I’m building up my spirits! This princess has a major strategic goal to implement tonight!]
Princess Fuxing's "creation" plan
At the same time, in the west wing, the atmosphere was completely different, hot and... tense!
Dongfang Yuning took a deep breath and looked at the figure in the floor-length crystal mirror that almost made her blush and her heart beat fast.
Yueji Pavilion's latest limited-edition "Siren's Song" series of battle suits fits her perfectly.
It was an extremely special kind of mermaid gauze with the luster of mother-of-pearl, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet strangely opaque.
It outlines her exquisite curves like a second layer of skin, and emits a hazy and dreamy luster under the candlelight.
The deep V-neckline is bold yet not revealing, perfectly showcasing the delicate clavicle and a touch of alluring white curves. A thin silver chain adorns the waist, further emphasizing the slenderness of the waist, which can be held in one hand.
The hem is a flowing fishtail design, which glistens as she walks, as if she has really transformed into the legendary mermaid that enchants everyone.
[Host! Battle Suit 'Siren's Song' activated! Charisma +999%! Mind-Bending Skill MAX! Defense: 0! Special Attack Effect on Target Nangong Ye: Expected to cause sanity to be completely wiped out, blood and energy to surge, and uncontrolled movement!]
System 118's electronic voice announced excitedly,
[The target is expected to arrive at the battlefield in three minutes! Please prepare for battle! Posture loaded: lazy side-lying position!]
The eyes have been adjusted: innocence with fatal temptation! BGM is ready: "Itch"!
Dongfang Yuning encouraged himself:
【For the baby! Fight for it!】
She lay lightly on her side on the large step-out bed covered with an ice silk mat, one hand supporting her head and the other casually resting on her bent legs, letting the glittering fishtail skirt spread out like an enchanting flower blooming in the night.
The candlelight danced on her body, outlining a thrilling phantom.
