Chapter 426: Light the Fire Again, Don’t Regret
Mu Nanzhao's momentary hesitation gave Gu Xixi the answer in her heart.
She took a few steps back weakly and sat down, holding onto the desk.
At this moment, I feel suffocated and don't want to speak.
Gu Xixi didn't know what to say.
She wore the clothes herself, so of course Mu Nanzhao couldn't know about it in advance.
Although he shouldn't have trespassed into her room, it wasn't just his fault that things had come to this.
The air in the room seemed to freeze.
In fact, Mu Nanzhao's heart is more confused than Gu Xixi's.
As for the time when he was poisoned, he could only recall some vague fragments afterwards.
What I saw and felt tonight was so real.
Her exposed skin, her body fragrance after bathing, her looming figure hidden under the clothes, and even the subtle sounds she made when walking in the dark...
Drop by drop, it gathered into a strong liquor mixed with poison, and the strong liquor turned into a snake, dancing and starting a fire.
It entangled his rationality and madly consumed the willpower he was proud of.
Mu Nanzhao adjusted his breathing silently and clenched his hands at his sides.
It's really crazy!
At this time, Gu Xixi had completed her inner self-construction.
For modern people, wearing short sleeves and shorts is already a very conservative outfit.
At most, I didn’t wear any underwear. Nothing that shouldn’t be exposed was exposed. What’s there to be embarrassed about?
Compared to the numerous bikinis on the beach, this is nothing.
Gu Xixi regained her composure and looked at Mu Nanzhao again, and even smiled and teased:
"You've already put on your coat, why are you still afraid to look at me?"
Mu Nanzhao gritted his teeth secretly.
Doesn't he dare?
He can't!
Don't give yourself any chance to lose control!
Gu Xixi didn't realize how terrible the fire she accidentally lit was, and was still laughing recklessly.
"Hey, I don't mind at all, why are you so nervous?"
There was silence for a moment.
"Gu Xixi!" Mu Nanzhao suddenly shouted in a low voice, which scared Gu Xixi.
He suddenly turned to look at her, his expression displeased and his tone serious, "I haven't asked you yet, what's going on between you and your top scholar cousin!"
Gu Xixi was bewildered, "Ah?"
"Why are you so angry for no reason?"
Mu Nanzhao said with a stern face, "For no reason?"
"You chatted with him in the yard for just half an hour, and you smiled at him twelve times!"
"You even smiled at him face to face!"
"And you took him around the village. Are you eager to let people know that you two cousins are so close?"
Gu Xixi initially frowned in confusion, then looked a little guilty, and finally watched calmly.
She is not angry.
Because if the Regent was really angry, he wouldn't be so indifferent.
Rather than saying he's losing his temper, it would be more accurate to say he's just being coquettish, or... jealous?
Gu Xixi waited patiently for him to finish his accusation before nodding and saying, "Oh."
"Oh?" Mu Nanzhao repeated, incredulous. "What do you mean by oh?"
"Gu Xixi, you are so brazen and fearless. I am just leaving home temporarily, not dead!"
He sat quietly in the dark and waited, intending to give her a surprise and to "hold her accountable" at the same time.
Unexpectedly, the surprise she prepared was even bigger.
It was so big that it almost made him lose his composure.
Mu Nanzhao had never experienced such a panic in his life, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, Gu Xixi asked again jokingly.
So he just started to question.
One is to change her topic, and the other is to divert my own attention.
However, Gu Xixi had already seen through it.
She stood up, looked at Mu Nanzhao with a smile, and approached him step by step.
"Then the prince thinks...I am so unrefined and don't avoid suspicion."
"My Lord...how are you going to deal with me?"
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Xixi, and a crack appeared on his forced calm expression.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't regret it if you continue to act recklessly."
Gu Xixi bent down and looked him straight in the eyes, with a teasing smile on her face, "I am curious..."
"How are you going to make me regret it, my Lord?"
Before she could finish her words, she felt dizzy.
When I came to my senses, I was lying on my back on the bed.
Mu Nanzhao stepped forward and looked down at Gu Xixi with a sense of oppression.
He was breathing slightly, his eyes as bright as a beast hunting at night.
The offensive and defensive positions suddenly reversed.
Gu Xixi was already a little panicked and subconsciously turned her eyes away, not looking at him.
After a while, Mu Nanzhao chuckled. "You just provoked me by being so persistent."
"Why are you scared again?"
Her voice was tinged with hoarseness, making it even more seductive than usual.
Gu Xixi's ears felt hot because of his breath.
She dared not look at him more.
"Get out of the way."
"It's just a joke. Whoever takes it seriously first is a dog."
Mu Nanzhao pressed his body closer to her and whispered in her ear:
"It turns out that the boss was just playing a joke on me."
Gu Xixi's ears felt itchy, and it seemed as if the itch went all the way to her heart.
She couldn't help but shrink her neck, feeling that she couldn't avoid it, but she didn't seem to want to avoid it that much.
Mu Nanzhao laughed twice more seductively, "No wonder you kiss whenever you want, tease whenever you want, and then turn around and look at other men affectionately. I'm really worried that you're restless and might cheat at any time."
Gu Xixi forgot about the itch and immediately retorted, "Who looked at each other affectionately? Who climbed the wall at any time!"
"I'm a very serious person!"
"Oh?" Mu Nanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly. "While I was poisoned and unconscious, he pressed me down and kissed and touched me. Not satisfied yet, he even tied me up with a gauze curtain."
"Can a decent person do this?"
Gu Xixi was stunned, "Don't you remember everything?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "Later, I gradually remembered some of them."
Seeing that Gu Xixi was pretending to be dead and not saying anything, Mu Nanzhao sighed deeply.
"You brought Jiang Mingyuan around the village today and you still want to lie to me and say it wasn't intentional?"
"I heard a lot of people talking about how the cousins are a perfect match."
"She also said that you looked down on me and that you only wanted to be the wife of the top scholar, so you didn't want me to come back at all."
Gu Xixi felt guilty. Why did the damn topic come back again?
"How come you believe what others say?"
Mu Nanzhao's eyes were a little dazed, like a wild wolf treating its prey, looking at it greedily and thinking about how to take the bite.
"The boss still won't tell me, then..."
Gu Xixi felt that something dangerous was happening rapidly below.
Alarm bells went off in her mind.
"Mu Nanzhao, wake up! This is my home!"
"I know." Mu Nanzhao said vaguely, like a child complaining because he couldn't get any candy.
"But I don't want to endure it anymore."
Before he could finish his words, he had already eagerly sealed Gu Xixi's lips, intoxicated by the sweetness of them.
They are closely connected and entangled with each other.
Gu Xixi's rationality was rapidly disintegrating. She gradually closed her eyes and let herself sink.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door, and Shitou shouted happily, "Sister Xixi! Aunt Qin cooked egg drop noodle dumpling soup, it's sweet, and asked us to bring back a jar. Come out and eat it, it's delicious!"
"Xixi?" It was Aunt Zhang's voice. "We are coming in."
