!
Liu Lingxi then realized that the palace servants had already discreetly left long ago, so now it was just the two of them.
A lone man and a lone woman... it just doesn't feel right...
"What are you thinking about, Xi'er? Are you feeling better? I've come at just the right time. Shall I have a meal with you?"
Sheng Jin's deep gaze swept over the woman's head and landed on her fair neck, which was exposed when she lowered her head, where there were still marks left by his excitement last night.
Yes, it looks really good.
Suddenly, Sheng Jin's mood improved considerably. She raised an eyebrow and spoke softly.
As he spoke, he helped the woman up, and of course, he moved closer to her in a domineering manner that left no room for refusal, as if he wanted to imbue her with his own scent.
Those warm, large hands, like branding irons, made Liu Lingxi shudder the moment they touched her.
Liu Lingxi was immediately transported back to the memories of last night: the man's heavy breathing, his burning body temperature, and his domineering strength that made it impossible for her to break free.
It all feels like it just happened; it's so shameful!
For someone who has lived a quiet and law-abiding life, to do something so significant without making a sound must feel like the sky has fallen.
"Don't..."
Liu Lingxi was so frightened that she immediately dodged, pulling her small hand away and even taking a few steps back.
?
Seeing her avoidance attitude, Sheng Jin's eyes darkened, and he pressed his tongue against his teeth, his good mood vanishing instantly.
His smile froze on his face, and his gaze shifted downwards, landing on his empty hands.
Time seemed to stand still...
"Heh~"
Suddenly, Sheng Jin chuckled softly, his handsome face devoid of any gloom, as if his earlier loss of composure had never happened.
"What does Xi'er mean by this? Does she perhaps want to distance herself from me?"
How could we just let it go like this?
Sheng Jin's face showed no anger whatsoever, yet his seemingly casual question weighed heavily on the woman's heart.
Liu Lingxi's lowered eyelashes trembled violently, and her small hands twisted together nervously.
The man's words were like a sharp knife, each one leaving a deep, bleeding wound on her heart.
Such a mess of relationships...
All she wanted was to live a peaceful life and enjoy her time with the Crown Prince. How did things end up in such a chaotic situation?
All of Liu Lingxi's struggles and hesitations did not escape the man's eyes, nor did they escape her undisguised rejection.
Sheng Jin wasn't actually that angry, after all, he knew that he had forced Xi'er to do what happened last night, and he could give Xi'er time to adjust.
But he didn't expect that this little guy really had no intention of accepting him!
That's absolutely outrageous.
"Alright, let's have our meal."
Just when Liu Lingxi thought she was going to die, a man's voice suddenly came from above her head.
Have I... gotten through this hurdle?
Does that mean the Emperor won't force himself, and everything will go back to the past, just like in his previous life?
Liu Lingxi finished her lunch with trepidation, glancing at Sheng Jin from time to time, and before she knew it, she had eaten too much.
"Hiccup~"
The loud burp made the woman's cheeks turn bright red. Such an inappropriate sound made Liu Lingxi want to cry but had no tears, feeling as if she were dead.
Even though she didn't know the term "social death" existed, she still experienced it deeply.
"It seems Xi'er is all ready, then let's go."
?
While Liu Lingxi was still pretending to be an ostrich, a large hand had already touched her back and lifted her into the air.
"emperor!"
"Shh, since Xi'er hasn't accepted all of this yet, let's solidify it a bit more so she doesn't forget it too soon."
The two figures disappeared behind the bed curtains, and intimate sounds gradually filled the hall...
