Chapter 117 What am I doing? I'm kissing you.
This was the first time since her rebirth that she had heard a man admit his feelings to her face.
The tough words that Shen Pingjin was about to say vanished instantly, replaced by a hesitant expression.
She wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything at all.
Her heart was pounding like a drum in her left atrium. Feeling the throbbing in her heart, Chen Pingjin pondered for a moment, then stopped hiding her emotions and spoke her heart.
"Yan Jue." Chen Pingjin looked up at the man in front of her, trying to meet his gaze. "I mean, if I said I loved you, what would you think?"
The woman beneath him had bright, sparkling eyes, her pupils reflecting his image.
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment. He almost subconsciously couldn't believe his ears. Those words really came from Shen Pingjin's mouth.
But then, a surge of intense joy spread throughout his body from below, and he felt as if his burning heart was about to leap out of his chest.
It turns out... the person I like has always liked him too.
He hadn't misheard.
Yan Jue answered almost instantly: "I also admire you."
Looking at Yan Jue's reddened ears, Shen Pingjin teased, "Rumors in the capital say that my husband is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see him, and cars get flat tires when they see him. Now that you say you love me, maybe you've said that to many other people."
Yan Jue was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "No, what I said is true!"
"Then how will you prove it?" Shen Pingjin was never one to dwell on things, but this time, she just wanted to.
Yan Jue said anxiously, "I came to your bedroom tonight because there is something I want to tell you."
Shen Pingjin was so engrossed in teasing Yan Jue that she widened her eyes in surprise when she heard the man in front of her say such a thing.
"What is it?"
Yan Jue said, "Tonight, Eunuch Shun came to see me, saying that His Majesty had an urgent matter to discuss with me. After I went there, I learned that His Majesty wanted to go to Jiangnan, which is to say, to travel incognito."
Shen Pingjin knew about the incognito visit, but such a visit shouldn't be happening at this time.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Emperor Anqing has always been wary of you. Why did he summon you to the palace for your incognito visit?"
"The Emperor summoned me to the palace and told me that this year he would be going on an incognito trip, and both you and I must participate."
Yan Jue held Shen Pingjin's small hand, feeling its warmth and delicacy, and said, "The Emperor's trip to Jiangnan was because Minister Chen was smuggling salt. However, because this matter involves many people, the Emperor did not want too many people to know about it, so he chose to travel incognito."
"I see." Shen Pingjin said thoughtfully.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in the small hand that Yan Jue was holding. Shen Pingjin looked up in surprise and saw Yan Jue with an ambiguous smile on his face.
She was puzzled and was about to speak when Yan Jue spoke first, "If you travel incognito with me, you might find out whether I truly love you."
Shen Pingjin blushed and struggled slightly to let go of Yan Jue's hand. "Who knows if you'll take others on a clandestine trip?"
Yan Jue hadn't expected Shen Pingjin to think that way. He was about to say something more, but then he remembered that Shen Pingjin might actually think that way.
She was never a delicate lotus flower that needed to lean on others. On the contrary, she was resilient, independent, and had her own thoughts.
It's understandable that she doesn't believe in herself. After all, she's never put anything into practice; she's always just talked about it.
Yan Jue looked at Chen Pingjin and said each word solemnly, "Whether I take other women on incognito trips or not, you'll know when the time comes. I know, words are not enough."
Shen Pingjin was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yan Jue to say such a thing.
But she quickly felt relieved.
"It's getting late tonight, Yan Jue, wouldn't you like to leave now?"
Yan Jue raised an eyebrow. "You want me to leave that badly?"
Chen Pingjin shook her head, "No..."
Unexpectedly, Yan Jue pushed Shen Pingjin onto the bed and said directly, "So you don't want me to leave."
Yan Jue's actions were so sudden that Shen Pingjin didn't react in time. By the time she realized she should push Yan Jue away, it was too late.
The man had already pressed her down onto the soft couch.
Shen Pingjin said with some resistance, "Yan Jue, you..."
The room was dimly lit by candlelight, which cast a warm, golden glow on her already porcelain-white face.
Yan Jue thought Shen Pingjin would push him away, but the woman just stared at him blankly.
At this moment, Yan Jue actually found Shen Pingjin somewhat cute.
The temperature in the room was gradually rising due to the ambiguous actions between the two. Yan Jue's hands, which had been chilled, had become burning hot, seemingly because he had been touching the woman's shoulders for a long time.
That was enough to make Chen Pingjin blush.
Yan Jue also noticed Shen Pingjin's appearance and smiled, "Your Highness, do you still remember that wedding night?"
She teased him so boldly that he blushed deeply.
Now the scene is repeated, but this time she is blushing, and the two of them have switched places.
Shen Pingjin looked at the man in front of her, feeling a little nervous, and even stammered as she spoke, "Yan Jue, I...I remember, but...could you get up first?"
"Okay." Yan Jue stood up.
This action surprised Shen Pingjin.
She hadn't expected that Yan Jue would actually get up.
But what happened next caught Shen Pingjin off guard.
Yan Jue pulled her up from the bed, forcing her to look him in the eye.
Why is he doing so many crazy things today?
Just as Shen Pingjin was about to ask him what he was trying to do, she saw Yan Jue lean down, and the pleasant sandalwood scent wafted over them, enveloping the two of them.
Chen Pingjin: "?"
Upon meeting a pair of eyes as black as grapes, Chen Pingjin's pupils dilated suddenly, and a warm touch covered her lips!
What is Yan Jue doing?!
Chen Pingjin felt as if her brain had crashed, yes, it really crashed!
She felt the warm touch on her lips, which was slowly intensifying, as if it wanted to...
Shen Pingjin finally couldn't hold back any longer. She forcefully pushed the man in front of her away and said, "Yan Jue, you you you you you you!"
Yan Jue looked at the woman's flushed face and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Me? Me? Me? Me?"
Seeing that he even licked his lips seductively, Shen Pingjin instantly felt she couldn't bear to look. This was the future God of War!
The future god of war has already ruined his image!
Chen Pingjin said righteously, "Yan Jue, do you know what you just did?!"
Yan Jue replied calmly, "I'll kiss you."
