Chapter 95 Past Events: Schemes Among Newlyweds [5]
Xiao Qingxuan walked to the bedside, hesitated for a moment, and finally took off his boots, lifted the quilt, and lay down next to her.
He turned to face her, his gaze fixed intently on her face.
Qian Yueshu felt his body temperature and his approaching breath.
"Qian Yueshu," he said, pinching her chin and forcing her to turn her face to face him, "something like today must never happen again!"
His tone was heavy, carrying an unquestionable command.
Did you hear me?
Seeing that Qian Yueshu did not respond, he tightened his grip slightly, his brows furrowing. "What do you take your body for? Huh? A bargaining chip? Or a weapon to blackmail me?"
His voice carried an obvious hint of ferocity.
But deep in his eyes surged a concern that almost overflowed: "Do you know how troublesome it is if you catch a cold and damage your foundation? You..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Qian Yueshu suddenly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, moistened by the moisture, showed no fear, no grievance, but instead... a very faint smile appeared.
She was probably pleased by the Crown Prince's somewhat "fierce" concern.
Qian Yueshu broke free from his grip and snuggled closer to him, her tone both coquettish and defiant: "Next time... if Your Highness still doesn't come to my room... I'll go out in the rain and stand there even longer."
"You!" Xiao Qingxuan could hardly believe his ears.
He had never seen such a shameless woman.
His stern warning and concern only resulted in her escalating her behavior.
This woman is simply...
This is absolutely outrageous!
He sat up abruptly, as if about to throw off the covers and get out of bed.
Suddenly, a cool hand gently tugged at her sleeve.
It wasn't very forceful, but it carried an undeniable stubbornness.
Xiao Qingxuan paused, but did not turn around.
Behind her came Qian Yueshu's soft yet deadly voice, which even contained a faint hint of laughter, like a feather brushing against the heart, yet also carrying a thorn: "Does Your Highness want me... to get soaked in the rain again?"
His attempt to get out of bed completely froze.
The image of her looking so miserable and pitiful in the rain just now uncontrollably surfaced in my mind.
All the anger.
Faced with her nonchalant "threat," they were once again utterly defeated.
In the end, Xiao Qingxuan silently lay back down, filled with resentment and resignation.
He turned his back to her, determined to ignore Qian Yueshu, who was pushing her luck.
Qian Yueshu quietly moved her body closer to him.
She felt the Crown Prince tremble slightly, but he did not push her away.
Qian Yueshu then became even more emboldened.
Her gaze fell on the loosely tied black silk ribbon around the prince's waist, embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns and interwoven with gold and silver threads.
The ribbon outlined his lean and muscular waist.
His tense posture made him appear even more agile.
She stretched out her slender hand, her fingertips carrying a woman's unique softness and delicacy, and first, seemingly unintentionally, gently brushed over the back of his hands, which were folded in front of him.
The prince jerked his hand back as if he had been burned, his knuckles turning white.
Qian Yueshu's smile deepened, but her hands continued moving.
Her supple hand, like the most nimble snake, slowly moved upwards, brushing against his taut forearm, feeling the tension and stiffness of the muscles beneath the fabric, before slipping into the prince's slightly open collar and pressing against his chest skin.
The touch from my fingertips was warm, even a little hot.
She could clearly feel the powerful beating of the prince's heart.
One after another, rapid and heavy.
Xiao Qingxuan's breathing seemed to pause for a moment, then became heavy, sounding particularly clear in the silent hall.
The prince neither pushed her away nor turned around.
He just clenched his teeth tightly, and fine blue veins were visible on his forehead.
Reason screamed to stop her, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, craving that inappropriate tenderness and touch.
Qian Yueshu sensed his struggle, which gave her a strange sense of control.
Without further hesitation, her hand, which had slipped inside his shirt, slid down deftly, her fingertips hooking the knot of the ribbon at his waist.
A gentle tug...
With the constraints gone, an invisible barrier seemed to collapse as well.
Qian Yueshu was no longer satisfied with this slow probing, and then she pressed forward!
Her entire soft body pressed against his taut back, tightly embracing his lean waist.
My cheek was pressed against his straight back, and through the thin undergarment, I could feel his burning body temperature and the hard texture of his muscles.
She nestled herself completely into his embrace, though from behind.
"Your Highness..." she whispered in his ear, her voice filled with endless grievance and coquettishness.
The warm breath brushed against his sensitive earlobe.
In that call and in that complete physical closeness...
The prince suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Qian Yueshu's lower back, and pressed her even closer to him.
“Qian Yueshu…” he began, his voice hoarse and carrying a dangerous air of being driven to the brink of despair, “You really… have some nerve!”
Qian Yueshu was not afraid; instead, her smile became even brighter and more captivating.
“Your Highness is clearly not unpleasant at all,” she said in a soft, sweet voice, with a righteous indignation, “Why do you always keep people at arm’s length?”
Anyway, the Crown Prince doesn't dislike this kind of thing, he just doesn't want to take the initiative, so I'll just take the initiative myself...
With this thought in mind, she became even bolder in her actions.
In the end, the crown prince was defeated...
This time it was even more intense than last night, lasting from the afternoon until almost dawn the next day.
The next day.
Tonight, Xiao Qingxuan made up his mind not to go to Qian Yueshu's room again.
To prevent her from deceiving him again with various excuses.
Xiao Qingxuan even sent someone to tell Qian Yueshu: "I have important business to attend to tonight and will be staying in the study all night."
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Anyway, he caught up on his sleep at noon today.
But what Xiao Qingxuan didn't expect was...
While he was in his study, Qian Yueshu came to him and said, "Your Highness, I can't sleep alone, so I just want to keep you company quietly."
Before Xiao Qingxuan could refuse.
Qian Yueshu's voice rang out again, tinged with a pitiful dependence: "Your Highness."
She called softly, her voice like a feather brushing against the heart, "I know you're busy with important matters, and Yue Shu wouldn't dare disturb you. I just... can't sleep alone, and I feel empty inside. I just want to quietly stay with you, just somewhere close to you. I promise I'll be absolutely quiet and won't make a sound, okay?"
Xiao Qingxuan's rebuke was already on the tip of his tongue.
Qian Yueshu's words, which were a strategy of retreating to advance and using gentleness to overcome strength, effectively shut him down.
He practically gritted his teeth, squeezing out a single word through gritted teeth, his voice cold and hard: "Go in."
The door was gently pushed open.
Qian Yueshu walked in.
