The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

At that moment, the thought that flashed across Xiao Ba's mind was: What a firm and slim waist.

Yan Qing was tall and slender, and normally, his clothes didn't show it. Yet, she had accidentally touched the muscles below his clothes clearly just now.

It felt good to the touch, and she could not help but make contact again.

Yan Qing's entire body stiffened. When he felt the soft and boneless hand faintly touching his waist, he took a deep breath in.

"Eighth Deity." He spoke, and there was a hardly noticeable hint of restraint in his voice.

This voice finally made Xiao Ba recover her senses.

She was dazed for a moment and realized that she was half-lying on the bed. Half her body was almost atop of Yan Qing.

The key was that he was very tall. With this hug, her arms encircled his waist, and her face leaned very close to his.

She was very close to the belt on his waist.

She tilted her head, leaned forward, and looked up at him.

She was even closer.

Yan Qing's brows twitched as he almost uncontrollably pulled her up.

Xiao Ba immediately sat on the bed obediently.

"Is there anything else?" asked Yan Qing with tolerance.

Xiao Ba saw that even though his expression didn't change, his eyes seemed to darken, and there were a few hints of coldness.

She coughed, and her arrogant aura was instantly reduced. Then, she reluctantly retracted her hand, but her gaze swept across his waist. "N-nothing much…"

The Left Divine General was one of the Emperor's most trusted and capable confidants. He was very sensitive and observant.

Even if it was currently midnight and there were only candles lighting up the area, he could still see everything in the surroundings clearly—including the impudent eyes of the woman before him landing on him.

He did not know what expression to make.

Seeing him in this manner, Xiao Ba could not help but ask, "You're not angry, right? I-is this considered offending you?"

Didn't I just hug and touch him!? What's there to be angry about?

Yan Qing: "…No."

"How is that so? I think you're clearly angry!" Xiao Ba raised her head and lightly grunted. "Previously, you even touched my waist and rubbed it! Compared to that, what does mine count for?"

Yan Qing's body merged with the night sky and the candlelight. As his back was facing the light, she couldn't see his expression clearly.

At this moment, there seemed to be sparks landing and burning the ground.

His lips moved, wanting to explain a thing or two. In the end, he swallowed all the words in his throat.

He did not speak, probably because his actions that day were indeed to help her heal her wounds, but in the depths of his heart, he did have other intentions.

Now that they were in a stalemate, he seemed to want to expose his extremely secretive intentions.

Even though his hands were stained with much blood, he had always been straightforward, restrained, and courteous. After so long, he touched a girl's waist for the first time and had shameful thoughts.

He felt that it was amiss and panicked, but among these emotions was unignorable greed and pleasure.

There was a moment he almost thought that she had seen through everything, but, the moment he met her eyes, he was suddenly dazed. It seemed as if… she did not see through it…

It was just regular bicker.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and avoided her gaze.

However, Xiao Ba did not detect anything wrong with his expression because she did say it out of impulse.

If it were other people, they might have such intentions. However, this person was… Yan Qing! Hence, she had never thought in other directions.

Seeing that Yan Qing did not speak, she just treated as if he did not want to hold it against her.

Xiao Ba looked at his handsome and cold face. He looked down slightly, and she did not know what he was thinking.

It was as if he did not take her to heart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ba's blood boiled. Suddenly, she leaned in closer and beckoned toward Yan Qing. "Left Divine General."

Yan Qing was stunned. "What's the matter?"

Xiao Ba's eyes curved up. She abruptly reached out, hooked his jade belt, and brought him forward.

Actually, Yan Qing did not move, but this was unimportant. She already knew his character and knew that he would not move forward.

She just used this force to lean toward Yan Qing. Her other hand was placed on his shoulders.

Yan Qing's brows moved slightly.

Hu!

Wind blew in from the windows and extinguished the only candle.

The room instantly darkened.

The stars outside could not shine in.

Yan Qing said, "I'll light the candle."

Then, he planned to leave.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

Xiao Ba leaned close to his ears, and her voice was soft. Her warm breathing landed on his earlobes and neck.

She chuckled softly. "Brother Yan Qing's waist is not bad. I like it."

The surroundings were pitch black. They were very close to each other, but he couldn't see her current expression. However, this one sentence clearly landed in his ears, and it was as if it was going to light up the blood in his body.

There was a moment he almost uncontrollably looked at her.

She seemed to have noticed it as she held his shoulders and looked over.

He could see the delighted smile in her eyes.

Her expression had a few hints of delight and playfulness as she slowly said, "This is actually called… offending you. Brother Yan Qing, do you understand?"

…

Inside the room, Chu Liuyue leaned against Rong Xiu and read a book.

Suddenly, she heard Rong Xiu sigh.

She glanced at him in confusion and saw Rong Xiu looking outside at something. She asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Rong Xiu curled his lips into a half-smile. "Nothing much. I just recalled how I'd regularly sleep on your bed in the middle of the night when we were at Country Yao Chen. Yue'er, were you annoyed?"

Chu Liuyue did not expect him to ask about this, and she tentatively said, "You… Didn't you do that because of the lost half of your holy meridian?"

She managed to reincarnate in Country Yao Chen because she borrowed half of Rong Xiu's holy meridian. After knowing of this, when she thought of the incidents from before, she thought that Rong Xiu did it to nourish the remaining holy meridian in his body.

Rong Xiu smiled and said, "That is part of the reason, but it's more because… I missed you. You haven't replied to me. Were you annoyed?"

Chu Liuyue thought about it in detail. "I… don't think so…"

That was strange.

Back then, many of Rong Xiu's methods were actually very inappropriate. But for some reason, she had never gotten angry.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Rong Xiu raised his brows. "Nothing much. Now that I think back about it, Yue'er should have fallen in love with me at first sight, so you repeatedly tolerated my advances."

Chu Liuyue glanced at him. "That's true. Emperor, you're so charming that it's really hard for someone to get angry at you. Even if we sleep together, I am the one taking advantage of you, right?"

Rong Xiu chuckled lowly, leaned in, and said, "You have taken much advantage of me."

Chu Liuyue stretched her arms wide open. "I have the intention but not the strength."

Rong Xiu seemed to be used to the teasing, and his eyes did not falter. "Then, may I trouble Yue'er to save some strength for the future."
