Her heart suddenly tightened. She furrowed her brow and looked up, asking, "Are you hurt? Where are you injured? Let me see..."
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan’s worried expression, his heart sweet like honey, his body leaning forward as he encircled her completely in his embrace...
"Don’t mess around!" Her hands dared not touch Xiao Rongyan’s chest, so she could only hold his shoulders. Just as she stood up, she was pulled back by Xiao Rongyan, stumbling slightly and falling into his embrace.
Beneath her were his firm and heated thighs; the warmth penetrated through her clothing, startling her into slight embarrassment. She hurriedly tried to apologize and stand, but Xiao Rongyan held her waist with one hand and pressed her legs down with the other, fixing her securely on his lap, making them level-eyed.
Xiao Rongyan’s gaze was deep and serene, as calm as a still lake, but she understood the almost devouring heat hidden in his peaceful eyes.
Realizing that Xiao Rongyan’s gaze had fallen to the corner of her mouth, and that he was lowering his head with the intent to kiss her, she tensed up and clenched her palms, staring at the distinct lines of the man’s face, not forcing to look at his wound but instead stepping back, asking in a low voice, "What kind of injury do you have on you?"
"Just a small wound, it’s no big deal..." As Xiao Rongyan spoke, his prominent nose was already touching hers.
She held her breath, her hands that were on his shoulder unknowingly hooked around his neck. At the sudden pressure of his burning lips, her heart pounded erratically, cautiously and reservedly responding by tilting her head up. freewebnøvel.coɱ
In her distraction to avoid touching Xiao Rongyan’s wound, her lips were pried open.
She pushed him away slightly, only to be drawn back into his chest with even greater force. His lips pressed against hers, Xiao Rongyan’s breath invading her senses, making her heartbeat accelerate. Her fingers griped tightly onto the collar of his neck, her thoughts in a complete disarray, goosebumps even rising on her arms.
The sudden sound of sparks bursting in the fire pit startled Bai Qingyan, making her push away.
Xiao Rongyan didn’t force her, but simply looked quietly at Bai Qingyan. In the flickering firelight, he took in the shyness on her face. His movements were gentle and composed as he tucked her stray hair behind her ear, softly caressing her exquisitely shaped jaw, his thumb gently tracing her lips, and kissed her lightly once more.
She turned her face away, her hand already pressed against his chest. "Your wound..."
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, the man once again seized her lips.
Under her palm was the man’s strong and powerful heartbeat. Out of concern, she didn’t dare to apply too much pressure, but Xiao Rongyan deepened the kiss, leaving her helpless to resist, her face blushing fiercely. She tightened her grip, and then heard the man let out a muffled groan.
She hurriedly turned her head, breaking the kiss. Looking at the red blood in her palm, she restrained her heavy breathing and asked, "Is your injury very serious?"
Xiao Rongyan clasped her hand, lowered his head to smell it, adjusted his breathing, and said softly, "It’s nothing, just a stab from an assassin sent by the Wei Kingdom’s former emperor’s brother."
Upon hearing this, she stood up, "I’ll send someone to call Doctor Hong!"
"Kid!" Xiao Rongyan grabbed her wrist, his brows smiling, his fingers stroking her delicate wrist, he looked at her and said, "It’s just a small wound, no need to trouble Doctor Hong. You’re just worried, but it’s really just a small injury."
"I have some trauma medicine here, I’ll re-bandage your wound."
