What's happening? Did some divine intervention ignite a fiery passion? Why does it feel like my heart has been struck by an icy glacier, and then scorched by a raging fire? A double whammy of intense heat and cold!
Qin Kou'er opened her eyes instantly, staring motionlessly at Lan Linxue in the morning light over the forest. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, his breath mingling with her alluring charm, creating a captivating magic.
Qin Kou'er dared not move, feeling as if she had fallen into the deep sea of Lan Linxue's eyes, floating and sinking without any support.
Why did he actually kiss her? Isn't he the type to bite someone if their lips are even touched? Why did he really kiss her this time? What should she do? Continue kissing? But what should she do next? Bit him or lick him? Or should she slap him right now and yell that he's being a pervert? But she was the one who let him kiss her; if she turns against him now, what if he never kisses her again? A kiss shouldn't cause pregnancy, right?
While Qin Kou'er's mind was completely blank, Lan Linxue was overwhelmed by a single, thunderous thought: Why were her lips so soft, like clouds in the sky! And so sweet, as delicious as honey. Good heavens, what if he wanted to taste them again but couldn't?
Thinking of this, Lan Linxue actually leaned forward again, rubbed her lips against Qin Kou'er's, and gently bit her.
tasty!
boom!
Qin Kou'er felt as if something had exploded in her head. Her face instantly turned as red as the forsythia in early spring, and colorful stars danced before her eyes, decorating a corner of her heart with vibrant colors.
Reflexively, Qin Kou'er pushed Lan Linxue away, covered her mouth with her hand, her cheeks flushed, her eyes watery, and her girlish shyness made her even more beautiful than a flower.
"What are you doing?" Lan Linxue, caught off guard and pushed to the side, cried out in annoyance. Annoying! He hadn't bitten enough yet!
Qin Kou'er gave Lan Linxue a coquettish look, her small hand still covering her mouth, "You really kissed me just because I told you to?"
Lan Linxue was about to retort when he suddenly saw Qin Kou'er's appearance. Her shy face glowed with a beautiful pink in the tender sunlight, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow, which was reflected in the still-damp water droplets, creating a unique charm. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
Holding her arms around her knees and gently resting her head on them, Lan Linxue turned her head and asked lazily yet earnestly, "Qin Kou'er, why do you insist on marrying me?"
Qin Kou'er was taken aback, then turned to look at Lan Linxue. There was no mockery in her eyes. Qin Kou'er smiled slightly and said with surprising seriousness, "It's really because you are the Crown Prince. I want to marry the Crown Prince!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er lowered her eyes, concealing the fleeting desolation and pain that crossed her mind.
Lan Linxue had been watching Qin Kou'er intently, not missing a single expression on her face. He not only understood her sadness and disappointment, but he also knew it all. But for the first time, he felt a touch of compassion and refrained from pointing it out. Everyone has secrets and pains they can't speak of, unique to themselves, and no one else should touch them. But that didn't stop him from asking anything else.
“You already have so much money, do you really need to become the Crown Princess to enhance your power? Let me tell you, there’s no fun in being a royal woman in the palace!” As she said this, Lan Linxue seemed to remember someone, and a look of sadness appeared on her face.
Qin Kou'er smiled helplessly, spread her arms and lay down on the grass next to Lan Linxue. Looking at the azure sky, she sighed and said, "I know! But this is the path I chose, and I must see it through to the end!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er rolled over, propped her head up with one hand, and looked at Lan Linxue, saying, "Lan Linxue, tell me, why do you also want Shi Mengjian's head? If that ledger falls into your hands, Hu Tianyong won't let it go easily. You're already the Crown Prince; there's no point in getting involved in these court struggles anymore! You just need to keep Hu Tianyong loyal to you! Besides, as far as I know, you, as the Crown Prince, have never cared about court affairs except for your reckless behavior. Do you really want a small court?"
Lan Linxue snorted coldly, then, just like Qin Kou'er, lay down beside her with her arms wide open, gazing at the sky and slowly saying, "Do you really think that having the title of Crown Prince means everything will be fine? I don't think your understanding of the court is that superficial."
Qin Kou'er nodded. "I know! The other princes are all very dissatisfied with you as the crown prince, and they've been making a lot of underhanded moves behind your back. But Hu Tianyong is now a pillar of the court, at the height of his power, with disciples all over the world. Don't you think it's unwise to go against him now? You're trying to take on the toughest opponent right from the start; it might be like throwing an egg against a rock!"
Lan Linxue turned to look at Qin Kou'er, giving a lazy smile. "When did I say I wanted to go against him? How do you know I wasn't going to buy his favors with the account book?" After saying that, he turned back to look at the sky. "Qin Kou'er, you're good at making money, but when it comes to court intrigue, you're as green as the chick next door!"
"Pfft!" Qin Kou'er laughed immediately, and lightly slapped Lan Linxue. "I've never heard of using 'little chick' to describe someone as naive!"
Lan Linxue thought for a moment, then smiled, turning to look at Qin Kou'er with an unusually gentle and charming expression. "What else would we use if not chicks? Duck eggs?"
"Hahaha!" Qin Kou'er laughed happily, tilting her head back. "Let's use the chicks! But speaking of which, how are we going to act from here on out? Are you really going to kill Hu Feifan?"
"What? You really have an affair with him?" Lan Linxue felt disgusted just thinking about how Hu Feifan would bite Qin Kou'er's lips like he did. Her face involuntarily darkened.
"What do you mean, 'one-night stand'? Don't put it so rudely! I'm completely innocent!" Qin Kou'er said, glaring at Lan Linxue with annoyance. "I still have a use for Hu Feifan. How about you do me a favor and give him to me?"
"Why?" Lan Linxue was very unhappy.
Qin Kou'er stared at Lan Linxue with great patience. "Because you can't kill him, and it wouldn't be right to just let him go, since what he did last night was a major taboo. So, keeping him in your hands is like having a hot potato. You give him to me, and I'll do him a favor in front of him. That way, I get a benefit, and you get rid of a hot potato. Perfect! A win-win situation!"
"No way, I'd be at a disadvantage!" Lan Linxue refused without even thinking.
Qin Kou'er frowned slightly and pouted, "So what do you want?"
Lan Linxue's eyes darted around, and she straightened up, her eyes narrowing seductively like a fox's as she smiled and said, "You wash my feet!"
