Meng Qingqian is completely innocent at this moment.
That's not entirely true, because she was still wearing He Yunxiao's bell around her neck. The bronze bell appeared even more bluish-black against her snow-white skin.
Pressing the blanket to her chest, Meng Qingqian, her face flushed, said with her back to He Yunxiao, "You, close your eyes, I need to get dressed."
He Yunxiao's hand traced a graceful arc under the blanket, landing on the lower abdomen of the beauty in his arms.
"Why close your eyes? You've already seen it all."
Meng Qingqian turned her head and glared fiercely at He Yunxiao. She pursed her lips, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She looked wronged, as if she had been taken advantage of and was now being bullied.
He Yunxiao was most afraid of the little girl crying, so he stopped joking and said, "Okay, okay, I'll close my eyes."
After He Yunxiao closed his eyes, the aggrieved expression on Meng Qingqian's face vanished instantly. Instead, a slight smile curled at the corners of her lips, revealing a triumphant expression.
Having shed tears twice before, Meng Qingqian discovered He Yunxiao's secret: he responds better to gentleness than force. Now, after trying it, she found it to be true.
Shedding tears is enough to make him give in; it's truly a foolproof method that requires absolutely no cost.
Meng Qingqian got out of bed to pick up the bra and underwear that He Yunxiao had thrown far away. Every step she took was excruciatingly painful.
That bastard!
After cursing He Yunxiao in her heart, Meng Qingqian finally endured the pain and put on a close-fitting bra, short underpants, and then a white silk nightgown on top. Only then was she fully dressed.
After she finished dressing, she crawled back into bed.
She can't sit still right now; after being relentlessly tormented by He Yunxiao, she'll need at least two days to recover.
He Yunxiao felt the antidote return, but before he could sleep in her arms any longer, he reached out and hugged her again, saying happily, "Mengbao, can I open my eyes now?"
Meng Qingqian's pretty face flushed again. Before, when he was teasing her, he kept calling her "Mengbao" like a baby, without any shame. And the worst part was, she'd even agreed to it while she was half-asleep!
Li Qingmeng, Li Qingmeng, it was all Li Qingmeng's doing, it has nothing to do with Meng Qingqian! (Biquge)
After giving herself another hint, Meng Qingqian said, "Open your eyes, I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead and say it." Having tasted the sweetness of being the female lead, He Yunxiao naturally obeyed the antidote girl in every way.
Before, I could only look at it, but now that I've actually tasted it, I realize how delicious it is. It's so delicious! It's like a feast of delicacies, a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, a gluttonous banquet. Now I dream of eating it again.
"What's this about poison?"
"I don't know either. I just saw you suddenly faint, and then I used my internal energy to sense that you were poisoned. After that, I quickly helped you transfer the poison and your strength."
"What about the toxicity now?"
"You healed yourself. Mengbao, you don't know, your body is very special, it can detoxify itself."
Meng Qingqian had never heard of this explanation before. "How do you interpret it?"
He Yunxiao whispered something in her ear, making Meng Qingqian blush and her heart race again.
"You lecherous bastard! How could simply balancing yin and yang possibly detoxify?"
He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly, "You don't believe me? Then we can try it. I'll take poison, and then you cooperate."
Meng Qingqian felt a chill run down her spine when she heard the words "cooperate." She was still in pain; how could she cooperate?
However, no matter what, she still believed in He Yunxiao.
After spending time together, the two had come to know each other quite well, and with He Yunxiao's intelligence, it was impossible for him to deceive her.
Besides, they still have that kind of relationship.
Meng Qingqian still vividly remembers the scene where He Yunxiao risked his life to help her transfer the poison.
It's... South Sea pearls...
Meng Qingqian has always been a realist.
Now that she has given herself to him, she no longer thinks about what would happen if she didn't. She has given herself, and now she thinks about what will happen after she has given herself.
It's impossible for Meng Qingqian to compete with Nan Zhu for a man; she can't afford to lose face like that.
But now this is happening again...
Meng Qingqian steeled her resolve and gritted her teeth, saying, "He Yunxiao, what happened today ends today. From now on, we will still have the same relationship as before, and you are not allowed to mention anything too intimate again. If you continue to harass me about this, I will rather die than submit to you."
He Yunxiao: ?
"Mengbao, what's wrong with you...?"
"It's impossible for us to be together. Let's just treat what happened today as a dream."
He Yunxiao held Li Qingmeng tightly and refused decisively, "No. Once we're in a relationship, we're in a relationship. You can't escape. Don't worry, Mengbao, I'll take responsibility for you."
Meng Qingqian's hardened heart softened instantly after He Yunxiao's words.
This attitude of "respecting the facts and taking full responsibility" is indeed very effective in winning her favor.
"He Yunxiao".
"Um?"
"You can come to see me if you want, as long as you come to Jinxian Academy, I will definitely keep my appointment immediately. But if you want to do what you did today, then... no."
He Yunxiao knew the women's concerns, so he said softly, "Is it okay after we get married?"
When Meng Qingqian heard He Yunxiao ask her so gently, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she almost lost control of her emotions and was about to cry.
It wasn't that she didn't want to marry He Yunxiao, but she couldn't marry him along with Nan Zhu.
The so-called "marrying Xiaoyue" was nothing more than a self-deceiving method used to fool Marquis Wuqing.
Nanzhu arrived first, and she came later; she was trying to steal her sister's man...
Meng Qingqian believed she had the ability to push Nanzhu away from He Yunxiao, but she didn't even want to try that method.
In court, she was cunning, ruthless, and meticulous, but she would never use such tactics on her family. Nanzhu was her sister, a girl who needed her protection; how could she possibly steal a man from Nanzhu?
He Yunxiao looked down at Li Qingmeng, who was feeling wronged, and immediately comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, Mengbao. I'll agree to anything you ask. As long as you don't agree, we'll only kiss each other from now on, and nothing else."
"Kiss me..."
Just as Meng Qingqian was about to refuse, He Yunxiao lifted her chin, silencing her before she could say anything.
A moment later, Meng Qingqian, her face flushed and panting, said, "A kiss won't do... um..."
He Yunxiao shut her down again when she tried to refuse.
The third time, "No...uh...you...uh uh uh..."
Afterwards, He Yunxiao thoughtfully took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Qingmeng's mouth.
“I’ve sacrificed so much for Mengbao, she can’t just lose nothing, can she?” He Yunxiao said, his index finger stroking the beauty’s pink and rosy lips. “From now on, I’m in charge here.”
Meng Qingqian blushed and said nothing.
He Yunxiao is right. I can't just make him not do that thing and not give him any benefits at all, can I?
Mutual compromise is a normal outcome of negotiations...
Besides, she could easily back out at any time. If things didn't work out, she could just shed a tear; she doubted he would dare refuse.
