"Brother Bai, what brings you here?!"
Le Yao Yao smiled, her voice as melodious as a yellow oriole in spring, delightful and revealing her joyful mood today.
Seeing Le Yao Yao, safe and smiling like a blooming flower, Dongfang Bai's handsome face momentarily froze in surprise.
Since last night, when he had seen Le Yao Yao crying inconsolably, he had been deeply worried about her. Although she had assured him afterward that everything was fine, he couldn't shake off his concern.
He feared that this young girl might do something reckless if she felt overwhelmed.
Thus, he had spent a sleepless night and hurried over here after attending to several important patients this morning. He intended to spend more time with her during her moments of sadness, hoping to comfort her.
He wanted to tell her that no matter what happened, he would always be by her side, hoping to bring her some happiness.
However, the sorrowful little face he had anticipated had transformed into the radiant smile of Le Yao Yao. How could this not astonish Dongfang Bai?
As Le Yao Yao walked towards him, she noticed the surprise on his face and the panda-like dark circles under his eyes.
Her beautiful eyes flickered lightly, and she felt a wave of deep emotion swell within her. This man—he truly was wonderful!
"Brother Bai, I'm sorry for worrying you. I'm really fine now."
Before Dongfang Bai could ask anything, Le Yao Yao spoke first because she genuinely didn't want this man, who treated her like a sister, to be concerned about her.
Just as Le Yao Yao was thinking this, Dongfang Bai finally snapped back to reality. Looking at her genuine smile, his previously anxious heart finally eased.
"That's good to hear. I'm glad you're okay."
"Dongfang Bai" spoke softly, her voice like a gentle breeze, flowing slowly like a stream into the heart, bringing warmth and joy to those who listened.
Then, as if recalling something, "Dongfang Bai" asked, "Did something happen last night?"
"Dongfang Bai" was refined and perceptive. Especially the happiness radiating from "Le Yao Yao," which she could not hide no matter how hard she tried. Thus, "Dongfang Bai" boldly guessed that something must have occurred last night that made "Le Yao Yao" so joyful.
Upon hearing "Dongfang Bai's" question, "Le Yao Yao" decided not to conceal anything and shared what had happened the previous night.
"What?! Yu knows about your child!? And the child is... Yu's!?"
When "Dongfang Bai" heard "Le Yao Yao's" words, it felt as though thunder struck out of nowhere, leaving her utterly shocked. In that instant, her heart shattered into countless pieces.
She liked the woman before her and harbored some selfish desires. She had thought that if Yu learned about "Le Yao Yao's" pregnancy, "Le Yao Yao" would leave the royal residence. At that point, she would stay by his side, allowing him to care for her...
Although the child was not his, as long as it was hers, he would treat it as his own and shower it with love.
Unexpectedly, the plans he had made took an unforeseen turn.
Was this fate playing tricks on him, or did they truly share a bond!?
With this thought in mind, "Dongfang Bai" felt a deep sense of loss and melancholy.
In the end, it transformed into a faintly bitter smile.
After all, even though he couldn't be with her, what he truly wished for was to see her happy.
Even if her happiness came from another man...
Le Yao Yao had no idea what Dongfang Bai was thinking and continued to talk about what happened last night when Nian Sulan had drugged Nangong Junxi, who mistakenly drank it.
After all, Nangong Junxi was a friend of Dongfang Bai, so there was no harm in telling him.
After listening to Le Yao Yao's words, Dongfang Bai merely furrowed his brows and asked softly, "How could such a thing happen? Where is Junxi now?"
"Junxi went after Yar. I don't know if he has found her yet, or if Yar might do something foolish right now."
By the end of her words, Le Yao Yao looked somewhat worried.
After all, she felt so happy at the moment and hoped that others could be happy too.
Although she didn't like Nangong Junxi, she genuinely cared for Tong Yar.
In this era, there weren't many female friends her age, and with Yar's cheerful personality and deep affection for Nangong Junxi, she hoped that Yar could move him and that they would ultimately find happiness together.
As Le Yao Yao pondered anxiously, the beautiful dark eyebrows of Dongfang Bai gradually knitted together without her noticing.
It wasn't until a cool, slender finger gently smoothed out her furrowed brow that Le Yao Yao came back to her senses. Her delicate face showed a hint of confusion as she gazed quietly at the elegant man in white before her.
Meeting Le Yao Yao's eyes filled with surprise and curiosity, Dongfang Bai simply smiled.
"Pregnant women shouldn't think too much. All you need to do now is rest well, eat well, sleep well, and take your prenatal vitamins on time. Even if it's hot at night, don't be tempted to wear less..."
Dongfang Bai spoke softly about the things a pregnant woman should pay attention to. Le Yao Yao knew he was concerned for her, and her heart felt warm. However, she pretended to be annoyed and said with a hint of frustration, "You all keep telling me to eat and sleep, eat and sleep. Do you think I'm being raised like a pig?!"
"Hehe..."
Seeing Le Yao Yao's feigned annoyance and her playful, cute demeanor, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but chuckle.
"You..."
Dongfang Bai smiled helplessly. His hand, which had been smoothing Le Yao Yao's furrowed brow, gently moved to tousle her hair instead, his eyes filled with affection.
As Dongfang Bai lightly rubbed her forehead, Le Yao Yao gazed at his elegant face. His smile was so charming and stunning that it seemed to outshine even the brightest moon.
Le Yao Yao couldn't help but squint her beautiful eyes slightly.
He truly was an extraordinary man! With such a good personality, she wondered which woman would be lucky enough to receive his affection in the future...
While Le Yao Yao was lost in thought, Dongfang Bai continued to speak to her, reminding her to take care of herself and focus on her pregnancy.
Eventually, Le Yao Yao grew tired and yawned.
Noticing this, Dongfang Bai decided not to disturb her any longer and left.
It wasn't until Dongfang Bai's figure gradually disappeared from view that Le Yao Yao reluctantly withdrew her gaze and returned to rest.
However, she didn't go back to her own room; instead, she headed to Leng Junyu's room.
For some reason, Leng Junyu had only been apart from her for less than an hour, yet she found herself missing him already.
In the time without him, her heart felt empty, as if a piece of her once complete heart was missing.
Thus, her footsteps turned involuntarily as she headed back to her room, pushing open the door to the man's room and stepping inside slowly.
As she lay on the large black-and-white bed, surrounded by the familiar scent of Ambergris, Le Yao Yao's previously hollow heart began to fill up gradually.
Eventually, exhausted, Le Yao Yao lay on the big bed and drifted off into a deep sleep under the enveloping fragrance of Ambergris.
She had no idea how long she slept; all she knew was that when she woke up, her mind felt a bit muddled as if she had slept too long.
When she opened her eyes and saw the man who had fallen asleep holding her, it took her several moments to regain her senses.
"Eh?"
When did Yuta come back!?
Le Yao Yao wondered in her heart but chose not to speak up, fearing that she might wake the man who was holding her.
After all, he looked incredibly tired!
Even when she woke up, he remained oblivious.
Perhaps his responsibilities were too heavy at court.
Thinking of this made Le Yao Yao feel a pang of sympathy for him.
Although to outsiders, this man was born with a golden key in his mouth, enjoying endless privileges and wealth from birth.
However, what everyone didn't know was that he was living a very difficult life.
Because Le Yao Yao had seen the man reading by candlelight until the early hours of the morning several times.
The documents on his desk were piled up like a small mountain.
Every time she watched him focus intently on those documents, Le Yao Yao would notice the seriousness etched on his brow, heavy and profound.
This also revealed that he was actually a good person who cared for his people like a loving parent!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but feel even more pity and affection for the man before her.
Her delicate white hand unknowingly and slowly brushed against his rugged face, gently tracing the sharp lines of his chiseled features.
His face was truly strong, perfect, and exquisite.
Whether viewed in parts or as a whole, his brows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all so handsome.
Le Yao Yao marveled inwardly as she gazed at the man's face, her beautiful eyes reflecting a hint of infatuation and an unrecognized affection.
Her fingers slowly moved from his thick sword-like brows to his strong nose, finally resting on his lightly pursed, attractive lips.
The man's lips were slightly thin.
Yet, their lines were incredibly perfect.
Moreover, it was only now that Le Yao Yao noticed that his lips were slightly curled up, carrying a hint of stubbornness.
However, this made him look like a big boy while he slept.
Gone was the usual sharpness of clarity, replaced by a hint of stubbornness and cuteness!
Le Yao Yao thought to herself, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at him. Finally, a single thought blossomed in her mind—she really wanted to kiss him!
She had always been one to act on her thoughts.
Beautiful Eyes first glanced around the room, noticing that it was just the two of them and that the man was still sound asleep. Heh, if not now, then when would she steal a kiss!?
Excitedly, Le Yao Yao felt a thrill of joy. She carefully lifted herself up, pouted her Small Mouth, and slowly pressed her lips against those alluring, diamond-shaped lips she had been longing for.
The sensation on her lips was soft and gentle, reminiscent of Osmanthus Cake, leaving her yearning for more.
However, Le Yao Yao didn’t dare linger too long.
After stealing a quick kiss, she planned to retreat.
Unexpectedly, just at that moment, the man’s previously tightly closed lips suddenly parted and captured her Small Mouth. His warm, moist tongue surged in as she was momentarily taken aback…
“Uh…”
Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, Le Yao Yao's Beautiful Eyes widened in shock. She wanted to pull away, but the back of her head was firmly held by the man’s hand, deepening the kiss forcefully!
Her attempt at a stealthy kiss had turned into an unexpected kiss from him!
Le Yao Yao felt a bit disheartened by this.
Yet, she didn’t dwell on it too much.
Because she had long been kissed into a puddle of spring water by the man's stormy and conquering kisses...
After a long while—
"What did we do today!?"
Leng Junyu sat at the head of the bed, his arms stretched out and resting on the bed railing.
His clothes were slightly disheveled from their earlier passionate kiss, and the collar embroidered with Auspicious Clouds was slightly open, revealing his bronze skin underneath and well-defined muscles.
His long hair, as black as silk, cascaded down his back, having already removed his crown.
Those three thousand strands of hair flowed like seaweed behind him and across his chest, adding to his untamed and domineering aura!
His rugged face was illuminated by the warm hues of the setting sun outside, making him appear almost like a flawless Greek statue at first glance!
And lying on the man's thigh was a petite little one.
At that moment, the little one was basking in the evening light, her eyes slightly squinted, sparkling with glimmers.
Her cherry small mouth was slightly swollen, making it clear to anyone what she had just experienced.
Her silky soft hair was also tousled behind her, accentuating her little face even more.
At this moment, this little one wore a lazy expression, her body curled up like a shrimp beside the man, her small head resting on his thigh.
At first glance, she looked just like a sleepy and lazy little kitten—utterly adorable!
When Le Yao Yao heard Leng Junyu's words, she pouted her rosy small mouth and lazily replied.
"Today, after you left, Brother Bai came by for a while. We talked for a bit, and then he left. I went back to sleep afterward," Le Yao Yao said honestly.
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his handsome features and asked, "Oh?! Bai came by? What did you two talk about?"
It wasn't that Leng Junyu was petty; he simply wanted to know everything about Le Yao Yao's interactions with Dongfang Bai. The little one in front of him was just too charming. She unknowingly captured the hearts of other men, and he had noticed Bai's feelings for her.
Now that this little one was his, he had to keep a close eye on her and ensure no one else coveted her.
Le Yao Yao, unaware of Leng Junyu's thoughts, recounted every detail of her meeting with Bai during lunch without missing a word.
As she finished, she couldn't help but sigh. "Brother Bai is really such a nice person! He genuinely cares about me. I'm so glad to know him!"
Le Yao Yao expressed her heartfelt admiration, her eyes sparkling with emotion.
However, she didn't realize that mentioning another man in front of the man who liked her—especially one with such strong possessiveness—was a mistake.
It wasn't until Le Yao Yao sensed the temperature around them drop a few degrees that she belatedly noticed the man beside her seemed to be getting angry.
At that moment, he narrowed his cold eyes slightly, looking at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. Le Yao Yao felt a chill run down her spine as all the hairs on her body stood on end.
Her scalp tingled, and her back stiffened.
Uh...
What did she do to offend this man!?
Le Yao Yao was puzzled, knowing that the man spoke with a smile that was neither here nor there.
"You seem to really like Bai, don't you?"
"Uh... well..."
Upon hearing his words, Le Yao Yao was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Because she truly liked Dongfang Bai very much, but it was only the affection one has for an older brother, absolutely nothing romantic.
However, Le Yao Yao did not immediately voice this thought.
Although the man's expression was dark and brooding, could it mean he was feeling jealous!?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao's eyes sparkled, and a smile crept onto her lips as she began to laugh.
Her laughter was filled with joy, reminiscent of a child who had just received a new toy—so innocent and charming.
Yet, Leng Junyu found her laughter somewhat baffling.
"Little One, what are you laughing about?!"
"Hehe, Yu, are you jealous of Brother Bai?!"
"What!? Jealous!? Who's jealous?!"
Leng Junyu furrowed his brows in surprise, his face a picture of denial.
However, the slow blush spreading across his handsome features was as obvious as a thief caught red-handed, making Le Yao Yao laugh even more joyfully.
Dark Eyebrows raised high, filled with smug satisfaction, he looked like a fox that had just stolen a farmer's chicken, utterly pleased with himself!
"Heh heh, you're just jealous and won't admit it!"
"I am not jealous!"
"You are!"
"Absolutely not!"
"You are, you are, you are..."
"Uh..."
Faced with Le Yao Yao's beaming little face and her mischievous, triumphant beautiful eyes, Leng Junyu felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
But upon reflection, it seemed... he really was feeling jealous!
Thinking this, Leng Junyu awkwardly turned his face away, refusing to look at Le Yao Yao.
At that moment, not only was his cheek flushed, but his ears were also bright red.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao laughed even more heartily.
Because at that moment, Leng Junyu's awkward demeanor was no longer the cold facade he usually wore; instead, it added a touch of youthful awkwardness and cuteness that suited his age perfectly!
"Ha ha, the way you get jealous is really cute!"
"You!"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's teasing words, Leng Junyu suddenly turned his head, wanting to deny that he was jealous. However, Le Yao Yao was quicker, laughing as she spoke.
"What should I do?! I really like jealous you!"
"Uh..."
Le Yao Yao's expression of feigned annoyance successfully made this awkward big boy unable to hold back his laughter.
"Ha ha, you said you like me?"
"Uh! I do!"
(Let's start with some sweetness, and then, heh heh...)
