The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 145 An Overbearing Kiss

Hua Qiyue’s heart thumped uncontrollably. Somehow, when she faced this man, she always got cross and her heart beat faster unaccountably.

Yun Shimo forced his way into the room and slammed the door shut, shutting out the onlookers.

Princess Mingzhu’s face went white at once. In the Changjing Kingdom, it was really immoral for a single man and a single woman to be alone in a room. However, Prince Nan had already announced that he would marry Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was always acting strangely, and was the Qi Artist valued by the Emperor. Besides, the people had long turned a blind eye to her foibles.

Princess Mingzhu bit her lip and thought, “They can’t get along like this. Even if Hua Qiyue is pregnant with Yun Shimo’s baby, I’m going to get involved. Anyway, in the Changjing Kingdom, men are allowed to take concubines. By then, I would like even to be a concubine.”

After all, that man was the graceful and handsome Prince Nan!

Princess Mingzhu was about to knock on the door when Bingyi stopped her. “Princess Mingzhu, His Highness has something to talk to Princess Jinghua. Please don’t disturb them.”

Bingyi exuded such strong pressure that Princess Mingzhu had to take a few steps back. She took an angry look at Bingyi and was very reluctant to be pulled away by Princess Huiling.

Lv Xin and Youshui looked at each other; both covered their mouths and snickered.

In the room, Hua Qiyue stood grimly at the window, with her back to Yun Shimo. Yun Shimo, on the other hand, calmly sat down at the table beside her and poured a cup of tea, appearing to be casual and cool.

“Why is this man so calm, and I’m so bewildered and uneasy?” The more Hua Qiyue thought, the angrier she got.

Then her eyes fell on the great old trees outside. She stepped on the bed and tried to climb out of the window.

“Uh huh? Why do you see me like a mouse sees a cat and wants to run away with your tail between your legs?” Before Hua Qiyue could climb out, an elegant, white hand closed around her arm. With a strong pull, Hua Qiyue suddenly fell into an embrace without resistance.

That embrace was full of medicinal fragrance. It was the first time that Hua Qiyue had ever been so close to Yun Shimo. In spite of herself, she was shocked and angry. She gathered anima energy in her palm and tried to clap her hand on his otherworldly face.

To her surprise, Yun Shimo grinned and grabbed her hand, saying, “Don’t move! You have a caterpillar in your hair!”

Immediately, the color went out of Hua Qiyue’s face. Her greatest fear was of the hairy thing, which even caused a rash and itching all over her body. In other words, the hairy thing was her natural enemy!

With a tender smile on his face, Yun Shimo approached Hua Qiyue’s face with the delicious smell.

Two pink spots had appeared high on her pretty face. Yun Shimo slowly stretched out his hand, his eyes shining like starlight. The fresh smell of the woman made his heart beat out of rhythm.

Unconsciously, he was too deeply in love with her, but he didn’t want to quit.

When he first entered Hua Qiyue’s world, he could have walked away. However, a strange feeling led him to keep wanting to be close to her and see her.

Now Hua Qiyue was in his arms.

They snuggled together. Although Hua Qiyue didn’t volunteer, he still got some satisfaction.

Suddenly Yun Shimo, who was always gentle and indifferent, smiled slyly and stated, “Heehee, that’s a lie.”

“Yun Shimo! Do you want to die?” Hua Qiyue flew into a rage, and even people outside could hear her roar.

Those who heard were dumbfounded. Who was Yun Shimo? He allowed a woman to yell at him. No, it wasn’t yelling, it was a roar!

Princess Mingzhu’s eyes went red with anger. Who was Yun Shimo to her? In her heart, he was like a God. How could she stand Hua Qiyue treating him like that?

Bingyi’s mouth twitched and he realized that Yun Shimo’s tolerance had increased.

Finally, of course, Hua Qiyue stomped on Yun Shimo’s foot. Naturally, Prince Nan was impossible to guard against it. He took a step back and let go of her. Hua Qiyue immediately flew out of the window like a bird.

When Yun Shimo saw that her face was red and white in a passion, he instantly thought that Hua Qiyue might be taking it too seriously. When he came to his senses, Hua Qiyue had run up the mountain. Noticing her so confounded to escape, the man of course got anxious, and hurriedly went after her.

Hua Qiyue was very angry and could not explain why. She had just waited with anticipation for the man’s kiss…

“Damn!”

She was furious with herself and afraid that she would be more embarrassed and unable to control her emotions if she stayed there, so she ran frantically up the mountain. It was the best way to avoid it.

Finally tired, Hua Qiyue leaned against a tall old tree and gasped. There was nothing special about the mountain. She had come here to find the mysterious man.

As a matter of fact, she had been here yesterday, but she didn’t find anything special.

Ancient trees stood in forest, branches and leaves crisscross. It was a little dark because of the rare sunlight coming in, but Hua Qiyue could see the road ahead.

Several squirrels, jumping up and down the trees, saw Hua Qiyue and whizzed out of sight.

“Why are you so nervous?” A sudden voice behind her made her jump. She turned her head, her watery eyes immediately reflecting the stunning face of a man.

Yun Shimo leaned against another ancient tree, peered sideways at Hua Qiyue’s red and white face, and asked, “Are you afraid of me?”

“Who… who’s afraid of you?” Hua Qiyue gave a cold snort and displeased retort.

“Then why are you running so fast? Just like a hare.”

“Hare?” Hua Qiyue blinked and asked, “Sun Moon Deity came with you?”

“Yes, but when we got off the carriage, he slipped away to play.”

Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue’s face, watching her expression change. Hua Qiyue sat down and felt the cool air and rich anima energy. This was really a cool place.

Yun Shimo walked up to her and sat down next to her.

Hua Qiyue’s heart began to beat erratically again.

She secretly took a glance at his striking face, wanting to leave, but feeling a little reluctant. However, she was little embarrassed if she did not leave. It was a feeling that she had never felt before.

But Hua Qiyue remembered the feeling of anticipation. She had looked forward to Zhou Zhicheng’s intimacy before, but unfortunately after she got married, things were not going well between them. Her previous life was a tragedy.

“Qiyue, my mom has already selected the date for us to get married, which is the 10th day of the month after next, the 10th day of the 10th lunar month,” Yun Shimo suddenly informed.

Hua Qiyue was startled that Yun Shimo was serious about it.

“I… I told you I didn’t want to get married so early!” Hua Qiyue shouted with a frown. Yun Shimo glanced at her flat stomach and smiled weakly.

“My mom said that after three months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman will show, so we should get married as soon as possible!”

Hua Qiyue was about to blow, and her brows twisted like a worm. “Yun Shimo, you… all blame you! You caused all this!”

Hua Qiyue was instantly an internal storm of contrasting emotions. She didn’t trust Yun Shimo completely, but she wanted to be close to him.

But she was terrified at the thought of Yun Shimo being a man like Zhou Zhicheng.

Besides, she recoiled at the sight of other women surrounding Yun Shimo.

Being a confident and conceited woman, she lived very tired.

“What are you afraid of?”

Yun Shimo also frowned, looking at her with slight anger. He felt that she had feelings for him, or she would never cooperate with his acting that night in the Wangyue River.

Hua Qiyue gritted her teeth and said, “My wedding is up to me!”

She got up and intended to leave. Wisps of light came across Yun Shimo’s bending upwards eyes. He stretched out his arm and caught Hua Qiyue. The woman was askew, and he wrapped his arms around her. He aimed eagerly at her small mouth, pressed her against the tree in a bossy way and kissed her.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes widened in shock at her suddenly enlarged, white face. The face had appeared in her dreams many times, and each time it made her heart beat faster.

Now this man was kissing her red lips gently yet insolently, demanding her sweetness.

The soft, hot, intimate touch made Hua Qiyue almost faint as the strong breath of the man enveloped her. She felt all weight was lifted from her limbs.

As she began to feel something strange, she felt her heart beating harder and her dizziness worse.

She did not know how long before the man holding her let her go. Hua Qiyue gasped and stole a glance at the man. Yun Shimo was not calmer than she was. His cheeks flushed, and his deep eyes looked as if there was spring in flood, with a rare tenderness.

Hua Qiyue was beside herself with fury and landed a blow on his shoulder. In her mind, it was improper for men and women to be too close.

“Yun Shimo! I’m not done with you!” Hua Qiyue made a deafening roar.

Yun Shimo, however, laughed lightly and said, “That’s what I want. I was afraid you would say that we’re done.”

Hua Qiyue’s mouth twitched. She, almost spitting blood with anger, stamped her foot and ran down the mountain. Although Yun Shimo took advantage of her, Hua Qiyue thought that if she tried to get even with this guy now, he would probably take more advantage of her!

So she must get back at him with a sharp wit. “When I figure it out, hem, Yun Shimo, you’re dead!” She thought.

When Hua Qiyue arrived at the Green Mountain Temple, everyone stood outside and stared at her. Hua Qiyue went back to the wing with a cold snort and a gloomy face.

Yun Shimo came down the mountain with a slightly satisfied smile on his lips. Princess Mingzhu’s eyes turned red. Then she bowed her head and hid, grieving alone.

Princess Huiling gnashed her teeth with hate. In her eyes, Hua Qiyue was a bitch, but she unexpectedly got Prince Nan’s favor!

The saddest of them all was Huangfu Xuan. He knew that there was no longer any possibility between him and Hua Qiyue, but just in order to see her, he followed Yun Shimo here regardless.

Still, he couldn’t help but feel hurt by their closeness.

Night soon fell again. Hua Qiyue and others still couldn’t find anything suspicious.

Prince Nan also searched around carefully, and finally he sat by the pond, saying nothing, just staring at the brilliant lotus in a daze. Just then, the hare came back and jumped lazily on his shoulder. Not feeling well, he hopped down to sleep beside.

Hua Qiyue went to the wing with the meal, still looking gloomy. Lv Xin and Youshui exchanged glances. Hua Qiyue had been distracted all day, despite her apparent anger. They knew that Hua Qiyue really had a crush on Yun Shimo.

That night, Abbess Yi Zhen arranged Yun Shimo to live in the wing opposite Hua Qiyue. The nuns stayed in Abbess Yi Zhen’s wing and Princess Mingzhu and Princess Huiling lived next door to Yun Shimo.

It was the first time Princess Mingzhu and Princess Huiling had ever lived in such a humble room, but when they heard that Hua Mengshi had disappeared in the temple, they were more frightened than disgusted.

However, when they realized that Yun Shimo lived next door to them, they were much relieved.

By the midnight, the night was as still as the previous nights. Hua Qiyue was not asleep.

But suddenly she heard the sound of door opening, and realized that somebody was coming out!
