“Is the Imperial Concubine still not feeling well?”
Xuanyuan Mie held the woman in his arms without making any other excessive moves. Just holding her like this gave him a sense of completeness.
This woman… what kind of charm did she possess to confuse him?
“Not very well.”
“When I was young, I was playful and fell into the water. The cold seeped into my body, and my knees ache on rainy days. My father spent a lot of money to find tonics for me, but they didn’t help much. The doctor said I could only nurture my health.”
As she was speaking, a gust of wind blew in from outside. Before either of them could react, raindrops started falling.
Xuanyuan Mie was momentarily stunned. Looking down at the woman in his arms, he noticed a trace of pain between her brows. Her body, still trembling slightly as she lay in his embrace, made his heart ache involuntarily.
“Knee pain?” Xuanyuan Mie asked.
Tang Guo nodded. When she looked up, there were still tears in her eyes, which made his heart tighten. “Does it hurt a lot?”
“Yes.” She bit her lip and after a while, she said, “My knees felt uncomfortable earlier. It turned out to be raining. It will be fine in a few days.”
“Your Majesty, I fear I am unable to attend to you tonight.” She said with a touch of guilt on her face, “I am always causing Your Majesty to accommodate me, and I feel ashamed in my heart.”
Looking at the woman’s pale face and her apologetic demeanor, Xuanyuan Mie could no longer ignore the strange feeling in his heart. Love at first sight—that must be it.
What was ridiculous was that this woman really thought Xuanyuan Mo treated her well. She was such a naive and silly woman.
If the one who came today wasn’t him, Xuanyuan Mie, I’m afraid she would have been completely devoured by now.
Thinking about this made Xuanyuan Mie uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but hold the woman tighter. Since he had feelings for her, she was his. Xuanyuan Mo wouldn’t be able to touch her.
“I’ll massage it for you.”
Xuanyuan Mie released her and draped a cloak over her. He then let her sit up, placing her legs flat. He sat by the bed and gently massaged her knees, using some internal energy. Warmth flowed into her knees, and her complexion began to improve.
“Huh?” She was a bit surprised, “It doesn’t hurt as much now.”
Xuanyuan Mie’s lips curved into a smile different from Xuanyuan Mo’s, with a hint of evil. “As long as it doesn’t hurt. I’ll massage it for you more often in the future.”
“Your Majesty, you are so good to me.” Tang Guo lay in the man’s arms, the corners of her mouth curled up. She successfully saw the smile on the man’s face freeze and she felt extremely satisfied. “My father was the best to me when I was young. Now, there’s another person.”
Xuanyuan Mie felt unhappy. It was him, Xuanyuan Mie, who was good to her, not his stupid brother Xuanyuan Mo.
This was a naive and silly woman, Xuanyuan Mie labeled Tang Guo in his heart. Looking at the beautiful face with the happy smile, he quickly dismissed that uncomfortable feeling. As long as she was happy.
“It’s late. Let’s go to sleep.”
When the woman looked a bit confused, he pulled her into his arms, drew the quilt over them, and closed his eyes with great satisfaction, holding her close.
In his arms was a warm, soft body, and it indeed felt different.
Hearing the woman’s steady breathing, he opened his eyes and carefully observed her pretty face. The corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, indicating she was having a good dream.
Thinking that she must be dreaming about Xuanyuan Mo, his face darkened. He bit those red lips as punishment, gently sucking, feeling the taste was addictive before quickly letting go.
Seemingly unsatisfied, he gently touched her lips again, carefully savoring them. Hugging her tightly, he felt a surge of desire for more, but he restrained himself.
Seeing her slightly swollen lips, Xuanyuan Mie’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, but then he felt it should be this way. After all, she was his.
