Shen Mingzhu frowned and stood there silently. Her face gradually darkened, and her hand unconsciously touched the long sword at her waist.
Only after Xie Lang finished speaking did he realize the ambiguity in his words. He couldn't help but frown slightly. When he turned his head, he saw the killing intent in her eyes. This made his headache even worse. Looking at Shen Mingzhu, he pretended to be obsequious and said, "I'll make a makeshift bed on the floor. Your Highness is as precious as a delicate flower, so you should naturally sleep on the bed."
Seeing him skillfully start making the makeshift bed on the floor, Shen Mingzhu felt a bit relieved. She held the sword scabbard and placed the long sword on the table.
What on earth was Xie Lang thinking? Was he testing her?
Shen Mingzhu's inquisitive gaze fell on him. She sat there and no longer looked like she was ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing this, Xie Lang subconsciously let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Only later did he realize that his throat was extremely dry. After hesitating for a moment, while pouring tea for himself, he also poured a cup for her and said, "Take a break. I'll finish making the bed soon."
Shen Mingzhu lowered her eyes and was lost in thought. When she heard his words, she slowly raised her head, took the tea, but couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Young Master Xie is really changeable. Just now you were embracing beauties and having fun, but now you're like Liu Xiahui, looking like a perfect gentleman. I admire you."
Xie Lang paused slightly upon hearing this. He was squatting on the ground, looking at her with a half - smile and said, "Really? Your Highness is extremely beautiful. It's just that I think I'm not as fast as Your Highness's sword."
"Since Your Highness has said so, then I..."
As he spoke, he had already placed his hand on Shen Mingzhu's shoulder. He slightly raised the corners of his eyes, looking dissolute, just like a dissolute young master molesting a good - family woman.
Shen Mingzhu was startled and immediately shouted, "Don't move!"
【Tsk, you just have to provoke me. Aren't you bored, Shen Mingzhu? Didn't you expect this? Hahaha】
So Xie Lang glanced at her with a half - smile and then continued with his own business.
Shen Mingzhu knew that she had been toyed with by him. She immediately gritted her teeth and sat there with a cold face.
There was an undercurrent between the two, and they had different thoughts.
After he finished making the bed, he lay on the floor, wrapped himself in the quilt, and turned his back to Shen Mingzhu.
Seeing this, Shen Mingzhu felt relieved. She raised her hand, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then quickly washed up and went to bed.
Just as she closed her eyes, she inexplicably felt hot all over. Her heart was restless. For some reason, a wave of heat rose from her lower abdomen and slowly spread from her chest to all parts of her body.
Hot, so hot.
Why was it so hot!
When she noticed something was wrong with herself, Shen Mingzhu opened her eyes in a daze and found that Xie Lang was standing in front of her bed. He asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?"
She subconsciously reached out to grab Xie Lang's sleeve. Xie Lang, who was also hot all over and weak, was pulled by her and actually fell directly onto the bed. He propped himself up with one hand and pressed on top of her. His eyes widened slightly, and he looked at her breathing heavily.
The woman was delirious but still looked haughty. She slightly raised her phoenix - like eyes, hooked his shoulder, and forced Xie Lang to get closer.
Too close, way too close.
The fragrance from Shen Mingzhu filled his nostrils, along with her slightly rapid and warm breath. Seeing that Xie Lang didn't move, Shen Mingzhu looked up at him, with a hint of unconscious dissatisfaction on her face.
Xie Lang's mind was in a mess. The woman in front of him looked extremely charming. Her boneless little hand climbed onto his chest, and she reached out to tear off his clothes. The fragrance from Shen Mingzhu wafted into his nose again, like jasmine. The originally fresh smell now had an indescribable allure.
Xie Lang was a bit more sober than Shen Mingzhu and hadn't completely lost his senses. But seeing the seductive scene in front of him, there was still a hint of lust and an indescribable infatuation in his eyes.
But the next moment, that troublesome little hand suddenly moved down, making Xie Lang hold his breath. He could hardly control himself anymore.
Relying on his last bit of instinct, Xie Lang wanted to struggle to get up, but he didn't expect that Shen Mingzhu sensed his intention. Relying only on her instinct, she directly reached out and hooked his neck, gritted her teeth and said, "Xie Lang! I want you to serve me in bed!"
In his mind were the scenes of her holding a long sword when they first met, the subtle ambiguity in the carriage, and this strong aphrodisiac, all of which were impacting Xie Lang's rationality.
Xie Lang's eyes darkened. Unable to resist the drug's effect any longer, he reached out and grabbed Shen Mingzhu's head and kissed her deeply.
The next morning when they woke up.
Shen Mingzhu suddenly woke up from a dream. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt the soreness in her body. She suddenly widened her eyes and stared stiffly at the bed canopy.
She had actually slept with Xie Lang last night! What was going on?
Shen Mingzhu's breathing became rapid. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but still had a bit of rationality left. She continued to recall every detail of last night.
Was it really Xie Lang who had drugged her?
"Are you awake?"
The hoarse voice of a man came from beside her. Shen Mingzhu suddenly turned her head and saw that the man beside her had woken up at some point and was looking at her with deep eyes.
Looking down, there were several small red bite marks on his neck, and the corner of his lips was slightly chapped. It was obvious what she had done last night.
The moment Shen Mingzhu saw those marks, all the words in her mind suddenly disappeared. Her face turned bright red, and she gasped. She looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.
The moment their eyes met, the memories of last night came flooding back.
The man's big hand tightly grasped her waist. While she gave a soft discontented grunt, he tried to lighten his movements. But his big hand with calluses still rubbed against every part of her body, as if he couldn't bear to let go. Finally, it stopped under her eyes, clumsily wiping away her inexplicable tears at that time.
"Xie Lang! You actually dared to drug me!" Shen Mingzhu was furious. Feeling the soreness in her body, she got up regardless of her nakedness, grabbed the small blanket beside her and wrapped it around her body.
Without hesitation, she picked up the long sword and stabbed at Xie Lang, with undisguised killing intent in her eyes.
Xie Lang was startled. He dodged to the side, snatched the sword with a flick of his hand, and pretended to be terrified and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, spare my life!"
Seeing that the sword was in Xie Lang's hand, Shen Mingzhu was even more angry. She picked up the small cup on the table and threw it at him.
Xie Lang reached out to block it, but when he saw the undisguised anger and hatred in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat. The cup hit the back of his left hand, and a sharp pain came.
"Shen Mingzhu!"
Xie Lang also got a bit angry, but his face still showed no expression. He said in a deep voice, "Don't you think about it! Why would I drug you?"
As he spoke, he looked at the sword in his hand and sneered, "Just because you draw your sword at the slightest provocation? You're just a reckless person!"
Shen Mingzhu was so angry at his words that her breathing became rapid. But in her mind, she quickly recalled every detail of last night.
Xie Lang was right in front of her. Shen Mingzhu's eyes darkened. She slightly moved closer to him until she could hear his inner thoughts.
【Who drugged them? It doesn't seem to be Shen Mingzhu! Maybe it's the Liu family?】
【Idiot! It seems this time it's going to be troublesome】
【Why is Shen Mingzhu looking at me!?】
