"Wait, hold on..."
Although Lin Qiao had always been a bit powerless when it came to resisting Luo Nanchen, this time, she was quite determined. She firmly broke free from Luo Nanchen's embrace.
Luo Nanchen was confused. "Xiao... Lin?"
Lin Qiao took a deep breath. "I originally wanted to ask if you had something to hide from me when you specifically sent me to the Hall of Eternal Happiness. But seeing you like this, I don't want to ask that anymore. I want to ask you something else."
Luo Nanchen immediately became serious. "Okay, I have nothing to hide from you. Ask away, Xiao Lin."
He looked so solemn, as if facing a great enemy. He was a bit flustered. Was it the case that... he had upset his little darling?
It couldn't be, right?
Then was it... that old guy Pei Liyu who had upset his little darling?
If so, he'd deal with him.
It was really troublesome. If it weren't for Pei Liyu constantly waiting in front of the Hall of Eternal Happiness every day, he wouldn't have been willing to let Lin Qiao come back.
The arrangements weren't fully completed yet. He didn't have 100% certainty that he could marry Lin Qiao, so he could only try to fob Pei Liyu off for the time being.
But the result of this fobbing - off seemed to have become... unpredictable?
Lin Qiao took a deep breath. "Do you like me just because you want to sleep with me?"
Luo Nanchen: "......?"
Lin Qiao bit her lips, looking a bit aggrieved. "You never hold back anywhere. It seems like you're not afraid of anything..."
She was afraid. What if Pei Liyu came back? What if there were others besides Pei Liyu coming to the Hall of Eternal Happiness asking the Empress Dowager to discipline the Emperor? What if this matter became public?
Luo Nanchen was the ruler of the country. No one dared to do anything to him, and no one could do anything to him.
But a foreign princess who had come for a political marriage as the Empress Dowager had no real say.
She would only have one ending.
The same as what was written in the book.
She was really scared. But this wasn't even the scariest part, because...
Luo Nanchen could get aroused at any time.
The word "aroused" might not sound very good, but... Luo Nanchen was really like an animal in heat.
Moreover, he was constantly in that state.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, besides reviewing memorials, having meals, and taking a walk in the imperial garden, the rest of the time they spent was in bed.
Even if they didn't do anything, Luo Nanchen would hold her and touch her here and there. He was like a big dog, constantly sticking to her.
Since she had been intimate with Luo Nanchen many times, there were naturally some changes.
For example, when he touched her, her body would react, and she couldn't control it...
Then it would be a natural progression to end up in bed.
Just now, as soon as Luo Nanchen came in, he didn't even tell her why she had come back. He just kept thinking about these things all day.
So sometimes she really wondered if when Luo Nanchen said he liked her, it was because he liked sleeping with her.
As Lin Qiao was talking, there was even a hint of a sob in her voice. "I don't know if you do this every day because you want to sleep with me or because you like me..."
When a woman was extremely aggrieved, there was usually only one reaction, which was to cry.
Especially for Lin Qiao, who had been strong on her own for so many years. Now that she finally had someone to vent to, she felt even more aggrieved and couldn't help crying.
Luo Nanchen was at a loss. "No... Xiao Lin, it's not because I want to sleep with you... Xiao Lin, in short, I love you, that's why I'm like this. I..."
The once - charming and suave overlord stammered in front of Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao wiped away a tear. "Then when you came in, you just thought about those things. If I hadn't asked you, would you have never told me what you were going to do?"
Luo Nanchen was silent for a moment. He really didn't want to tell Lin Qiao now because the matter hadn't been completed yet, and he didn't want Lin Qiao to worry with him...
But he didn't expect Pei Liyu to be so talkative. He had said everything, whether it should be said or not.
Lin Qiao snorted and turned around, ignoring Luo Nanchen.
Luo Nanchen got anxious and quickly hugged Lin Qiao again.
In the original story, Luo Nanchen was eloquent and charming, with so many girls that he couldn't even handle them all. He had a wealth of experience.
But now, he didn't even know how to speak properly.
Perhaps in love, reason and experience were all redundant.
Not only redundant, but he couldn't even remember their existence.
Lin Qiao was held tightly, and her anger subsided a bit. "Alright, don't hide things from me in the future, okay? I also have the right to know, okay?"
After all...
Sleeping with Luo Nanchen was also a great pleasure in life. She was just a bit sad about Luo Nanchen hiding things from her just now.
Moreover, she lost her temper because she thought that within this range of losing her temper, Luo Nanchen wouldn't ignore her.
This was a sign that she was gradually gaining a sense of security.
It was Luo Nanchen who had spoiled her like this.
Naturally, Luo Nanchen was happy to spoil her, and now that he had figured it out, he was even happier.
His little darling had lost her temper with him. He was so happy, it was so exciting. It was worth celebrating...
Luo Nanchen quickly nodded, looking extremely happy. "I promise. This time it was because the matter wasn't done yet, so I didn't tell Xiao Lin. In the future, I'll report everything to Xiao Lin, okay?"
Lin Qiao nodded proudly.
Luo Nanchen's low voice sounded beside Lin Qiao's ear. "There's one more thing to explain."
Lin Qiao let out a soft "hmm". "What?"
Luo Nanchen smiled. "I like sleeping with Xiao Lin because I like Xiao Lin. I like Xiao Lin so much that I want to be with you all the time. And..."
Here, Luo Nanchen deliberately paused slowly. "I get an erection when I see Xiao Lin. It's a physiological need. I can't control it -"
Lin Qiao's face slowly turned completely red.
How could Luo Nanchen say anything so boldly!
"That you, we..."
Her voice got smaller and smaller, and she sounded less and less confident. It seemed that anything she said now would spoil the atmosphere...
This charming, lingering and a bit sensual atmosphere.
Luo Nanchen smiled. "Also, the reason I thought about this as soon as I came in today... was because I was afraid that if we always stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Lin would get bored."
Lin Qiao said with a feigned non -chalance, "I'm not bored. How could I be bored?"
Luo Nanchen's smile became even more alluring. His low voice was like a temptation. "Oh, so you're not bored."
Lin Qiao: "......"
Luo Nanchen became even more unrestrained. "Not being bored means you like it."
Lin Qiao: "......"
Luo Nanchen continued, "Liking means you won't refuse."
Lin Qiao: "......"
The situation seemed to be galloping in a direction that Lin Qiao couldn't control.
Then, she was coaxed into bed again.
Lin Qiao: Forget it. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can...
