In that moment, Qing Wu thought that Huo Yun'ai would react the same way she did last time when she believed she was asleep.
However, when the young man cast aside all his reservations and only wanted to hold the girl tightly in his arms, he was unwilling to stop at just a taste.
He pressed forward step by step, sweeping away everything in her mouth, leaving her utterly defeated.
It turned out that even the coldest person could not remain calm in such a moment.
It turned out that even the most composed individual could not maintain their usual indifference when faced with this situation.
At this moment, he was like a raging fire, burning her and consuming all her rationality. In the battle of lips and tongues, he plundered her again and again.
The faintly elegant fragrance, mixed with a strong masculine aura, completely engulfed her.
The girl's mind was a chaotic mess.
At first, she pushed against his shoulders, trying to push him away. But gradually, her strength faded; her arms lost their power, and her legs began to wobble.
Her whole body felt weak and on the verge of collapsing, but he forcefully wrapped his arm around her, pressing them tightly together, making her endure all his intensity and passion.
She felt somewhat overwhelmed. Even breathing became increasingly difficult.
Just when she thought she might faint there, suddenly, a few soft knocks sounded at the door.
The knocking was not loud but abruptly broke the enchanting atmosphere amidst their disordered breaths.
Then came Zheng Ning's hesitant voice: "Are you ready? Lady Liu has sent someone to ask twice already."
Upon hearing the name "Lady Liu," both of them snapped back to reality.
The young man could only reluctantly let go of the girl. He did not respond to the questions outside but instead lowered his head to rest against her neck, rubbing it gently from side to side, as if shaking his head.
Qing Wu understood him. She knew what he meant.
—He was clearly afraid that his voice would sound unusual and be heard by the people outside, so he dared not speak.
But how much better could she be?
As soon as she regained her senses, she realized she was unsteady on her feet. Just then, for some reason, he slightly loosened his arm that was supporting her body.
In a panic, fearing she might fall, she quickly reached out to hold onto his neck, stabilizing herself.
As a result, a low chuckle came from the young man beside her. "See, you’re not completely indifferent. Perhaps you have feelings for me too?"
He was usually cold in nature and rarely joked with anyone. Let alone say something so teasing.
Qing Wu never expected him to say this right away; she felt both embarrassed and annoyed.
Just as she was about to retort, there was another series of knocks at the door.
The Young Emperor held her tightly and whispered softly to her but refused to raise his voice even a little.
Qing Wu sighed with a wry smile, lightly cleared her throat, and said, "I'll be right there."
Once she spoke, she realized her voice was somewhat hoarse too. It just wasn't as obvious as his.
After a while, Zheng Ning's voice came from outside: "You two hurry up." Then the sound of hurried footsteps echoed as he quickly walked away. Clearly, he had already gone far.
Qing Wu hurriedly pushed Huo Yun'ai.
At this moment, her strength had not fully recovered, and it was still less than half of what it usually was.
But the young man also knew that he could not delay any longer. Otherwise, if her family were to catch them, she would likely be even more upset with him.
So he reluctantly released his arms.
Looking down, he noticed that the area he had just carelessly ravaged was already a bit swollen.
Huo Yun'ai gently touched her lips, feeling both reluctant and heartbroken. There was also some worry.
...Although there were no broken skin, what should he do?
Should he immediately take her back to the palace to avoid being discovered here, or let her stay here with her family to ease her longing for them?
Either way, it was a dilemma.
Qing Wu, however, was unaware that he was worried about her.
Due to the previous "experience," as soon as they separated, she noticed something was off with her lips.
At this moment, she was also troubled by this.
The more she thought about it, the worse it seemed.
She touched her lips, furrowing her delicate brows, and shot him an angry glance before softly complaining, "Why did you use so much force?"
With that, she pressed her lips together and slightly lowered her head as she walked outside. She secretly considered that she would need to apply some lip balm later to cover up the swelling.
If her mother asked why she suddenly started using lip balm, she could just say it was for the New Year to make things more festive.
As she pondered over her strategy, she was very quiet, her entire focus devoted to coming up with a solution.
However, to the White-Clad Youth, her silence seemed to indicate that she did not care about him or the matters at hand, as if everything that had just happened held little significance for her.
A pang of bitterness rose in the heart of the Young Emperor.
Huo Yun'ai grabbed her arm, stopping her from leaving.
Qing Wu felt helpless but did not want to argue further, so she lowered her gaze and asked, "What do you intend to do?"
"Have you ever considered that perhaps you are not entirely indifferent to me?"
"What nonsense!" Qing Wu exclaimed, taken aback by his sudden statement, feeling annoyed.
Seeing her deny his words without a second thought, the Young Emperor felt a sense of gloom but did not back down.
After a moment's reflection, he said, "If it were anyone else who got this close to me and did such things, I would want nothing more than to cut out my own tongue. But with you, I am quite happy. I only wish to spend every day like this with you."
He tightly grasped Qing Wu's hand and murmured, "I do not seek your forgiveness. I only ask that you think carefully. Do you truly dislike me forcing you into such actions while you sleep, or do you hate me... as a person?"
The last three words were spoken softly, almost with a hint of powerless bitterness.
Upon hearing these words, Qing Wu couldn't help but look up at him. Seeing him in this state, she was taken aback.
How could someone who usually exuded such grandeur and superiority show such helplessness?
And the reason for all this was her.
But she...
As soon as she thought of those things, her mind became a mess. She did not answer him immediately and responded with silence.
Footsteps were heard outside again.
Huo Yun'ai knew that this time she had to go out.
She tightened her grip and, though her voice was soft, spoke with firm determination: "If I can only think of one person in my heart, then she will be the one for my entire life, and I will not be able to see anyone else. I just hope you can think it over; even if you do not share my feelings, please do not push me away."
The footsteps outside stopped, clearly indicating someone was about to knock.
The young man no longer dared to delay and hurriedly said, "I know your family has a good reputation; your parents are devoted to each other. Your brother will surely only take a wife and not a concubine. If you can agree to me, I promise you a lifetime together, how about that?"
If these words had come from someone else, Qing Wu would naturally have praised him as a good man. After all, men who do not take concubines are still rare.
However, he, being a son, would normally be expected to have a harem filled with concubines and consorts, yet he made such an oath in her ear...
He would certainly keep his promise to her.
She knew that.
But even so, how could he dare to make such an vow?
Qing Wu felt a whirlwind of confusion in her heart and could not make sense of it at all.
As the two faced each other, there was a gentle knock.
Huo Yun'ai bent down to tidy her hair and placed a light kiss on the corner of her lips. Then he quickly turned around and stood in front of her. After pausing for a moment, he opened the door and swiftly returned to the position where he had just stood.
The young man clearly feared she would feel embarrassed and intentionally used his tall frame to slightly shield her so that any unusual signs on her lips would not be noticed by others.
Qing Wu understood his good intentions and appreciated his thoughtfulness towards her.
But upon reflection, when had he ever not been attentive to her over the years?
Even from a thousand miles away, he still thought of her from time to time. If it weren't for his reluctance to let Zheng An and those people discover anything, their communication would probably be more frequent.
After thinking it over, Qing Wu wanted to find something wrong with him. Yet for some reason, all that came to mind was his kindness.
"Lunch is ready. Let's go eat soon!"
The boy's enthusiastic voice rang out, startling Qing Wu back to reality, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
— Fortunately, it was Brother San, who was carefree and didn't take things too seriously.
If her meticulous mother or those two brothers had come over, the unusualness on her lips would have been quickly noticed.
