CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 48: PLEASE... I WAS WRONG!

For a long time, Yun Ran’s scattered soul and spirit slowly returned to their place,

finally realizing what Nangong Mo had done...

Her small hand pressed against his chest, attempting to push him away, but the man was as immovable as a mountain, no matter how she tried, she couldn’t budge him an inch.

It wasn’t until Yun Ran felt she might suffocate that the man seemed to finally have a conscience and released her.

Yun Ran’s little face was flushed, her eyes like autumn water, glaring angrily at the man responsible.

"Nangong Mo, you, you, you..."

She said "you" for a long time without knowing what she wanted to say.

"Lin Wanyue."

"You, you, you, don’t call me that..."

Hearing those words now made Yun Ran’s heart tremble a little.

Nangong Mo looked at her with deep, dark eyes, sighed softly, and gently caressed her cheek.

Yun Ran’s little heart fluttered, and she leaned her head back as much as she could, "Nangong Mo, you, you, you, let go..."

Nangong Mo pressed her head against his chest with his fingers, his chin lightly rested on her hair, and softly said, "Lin Wanyue, don’t be afraid, I won’t bully you."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran instantly felt that her image as a heroine in the martial world for over ten years had been belittled, feeling somewhat unconvinced, "Who, who, who is afraid?"

Nangong Mo raised his hand and gently ruffled her waterfall-like black hair, his voice low and husky, hardly audible.

"I’m afraid."

Afraid he wouldn’t be able to control the heat and waves surging inside him, afraid he might scare her.

Although she sometimes acted like a clawing wildcat, she was indeed a delicate, soft young girl.

He couldn’t allow himself to lose reason.

Yun Ran didn’t hear clearly what Nangong Mo said, her head buried in his chest, her cheek pressed against his scorching chest, making her mind equally chaotic.

His pulse, she shouldn’t have diagnosed it wrong.

Moreover, judging by his series of abnormal words and deeds, it was enough to arouse suspicion!

Though his words were sometimes excessive, he had never behaved inappropriately.

But wasn’t it rumored he had a hidden ailment? Even he seemed to have mentioned it?

If that was true...

The signs of being medicated were very evident now, could it be he might...

Wouldn’t he explode, collapse, and die?!

This conjecture startled Yun Ran, leaving her heart a mix of panic and concern.

The steam from the hot spring filled the air, heat rising, the scent of medicine mingled with the fragrance of flowers and herbs swirling in her breath, making her head feel even more muddled.

Driven by a sudden impulse, Yun Ran reached out to Nangong Mo...

The man who had been keeping his eyes closed in patience and restraint suddenly let out a low groan, his eyes popped open suddenly, the dark hue within flickering like flames.

Yun Ran’s mouth slightly agape, her doe eyes opened wide, staring in shock, her expression dazed.

Her mind felt like it had been struck by lightning, crackling, a complete mess.

Oh my God! What had she done?! How could she touch him there...

Before she could feel remorse and shame, her waist was suddenly seized, and with a whirl, Nangong Mo had her pinned against the hot spring’s edge.

Yun Ran’s heart skipped a beat instantly, "Nangong Mo, I was wrong! Listen to my expla...mmph!"

Before she could finish, the man’s kiss descended like a storm, engulfing her in an instant.

Dominant and forceful, not allowing her to escape.

Yun Ran wanted to cry but had no tears, how could she, in a moment of heated impulse, touch him there... truly, self-inflicted sins are inescapable...

...

At this moment, in Changle Palace.

The sun was still high in the sky, and the Empress Dowager had already begun commanding preparations for the evening meal.

"Once Jiulang finishes his medicinal bath, have them eat early and return to their rooms, tonight, I don’t believe things won’t work out?"

Mrs. Hong chuckled softly from the side, "With the Empress Dowager’s painstaking planning, tonight will surely be as you wish. Just wait to hold the little prince!"
