Today Miss Xia went out. It was true that they finally had something to write but the truth was that she went to visit her cousin with her mother.
Worse than that, they even overheard that Mrs. Xia even mentioned the engagement between Xia Liang and her cousin could be arranged by the end of the year.
He couldn’t imagine how mad the emperor would be when he knew about it.
The guard, on both knees, dared not to look up at the emperor, but felt that even the air got cold, ice cold, so cold that he was frozen.
“Engaged? With Shaoyang?” Baili Jue questioned, reading the report, fire in his eyes, ice coldness in his voice, and anger all out.
The guard doubted if Shao Yang could still live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.
Taking a deep breath, Baili Jue shot out of the chair angrily, squeezing the note in his hand, rushed out of the palace for Xia’s mansion.
The guard tried to keep up with him but failed. Baili Jue’s flying skill got improved again, way better than the guards.
…
Xia’s Mansion.
By the dim light, Xia Liang was still copying those books. After a few days’ effort, she finally finished the first volume of The Exploitation of the Works of Nature and gave it a quick binding.
She intent to ask the guard to send it to her brother the next day and gave her message that she missed him and wanted to see him.
But soon later she surprisingly found that her brother came today.
Putting the book away in a hurry, Xia Liang stood up and opened the door for him, and said with a smile on her face when she saw Baili Jue who rushed to her,
“Master, you are here.”
Baili Jue’s anger disappeared the moment he laid his eyes on the smiling Xia Liang by the door, and then was thrilled.
He was so happy to see her.
Only after he saw her, did he realize how much he missed her, hold her in his arms and kiss her.
Baili Jue was happy on the inside but still put on a long face on the outside. Thanks to the mask, it was not easy to read his facial expression but it was clear that he was pouting.
Baili Jue took a few strides toward Xia Liang, grabbed her arm with one hand and closed the door with the other, then dragged her all the way to the bed.
At the moment he saw her, he made a decision to kiss her first to taste the sweetness of her before he began to confront her.
Without giving Xia Liang a chance to say anything, Baili Jue threw Xia Liang on the bed and him on her, hunted for her lips and kissed her hard on her lips.
He was not kissing in fact! He was literally sucking her!
His kiss was aggressive and wild. He sucked and bit her lips so strongly that Xia Liang finally moaned because of pain. He started to lick her slightly swollen lips and then put his tongue in her mouth and dance with her little tongue.
But since his mask was too close to Xia Liang’s face, it made her uncomfortable. Xia Liang took it off and tossed it away.
Baili Jue stopped kissing, moved a bit away from her lips, and asked, panting and looking down at Xia Liang who was blushing,
“Do you like my face?”
“You are good-looking every time. and you are handsome this time.” Xia Liang smiled, her finger slowly sliding down from his cheek and chin, nonchalantly flirting him.
Baili Jue missed a heartbeat because of her flirt. He grabbed her finger which was about to get away from his chin, put it in his mouth to lick a bit, then bite gently, his eyes locking into Xia Liang with something strong in his eyes.
The mind-numbing bite ran through her fingertips to her entire body. Her body was burning hot because of his gaze. She had to cover his eyes with her other hand and said shily,
“Don’t look at me like that.”
Baili Jue chuckled, took away her hand and calmed his breath before he sat up.
Yes! If he continued, he would definitely kiss her more and want her more.
But now he was not that angry or not angry at all now after all of these.
Instead, he had a strong desire to want her.
Now Baili Jue decided to ask one question he cared the most and he was most angry with,
“So you went to visit your aunt today, didn’t you? And you are close to Shao Yang? For what I heard, your parents mean to marry you to him.”
Xia Liang frowned and said, “I am not going to marry him and I will talk to my parents.”
“Hum!” Baili Jue was happy inside that she made it very clear to refuse the marriage, but he had to press her, “but for what I know, you used to be very close to him. and you two grow up together. And you are each other’s puppy love.”
Baili Jue would never admit that he sounded jealous but in fact he was more jealous deep inside.
“Before, yes.” Xia Liang sat up, taking his hand and said sincerely, “I am telling you the truth. I am not Xia Liang who used to be. More than that, you are not the emperor who used to be either. You come here for me. You are here because of me and I won’t do anything to harm you. As I said before, my life is in your hands. You can kill me at any time. You can trust me.”
Xia Liang had never tried to say so many words because explaining or talking was not her thing.
However, this man was so suspicious of her that she had to repeat over and over again so that he could trust her. Telling him the near truth was a way to win his trust.
It was also a brand-new experience for Xia Liang. After all, she was forced to become a talkative person.
