Chapter 97
She protested, not realizing the state she was in. The corner of Ouyang Feilong’s mouth lifted at the image in front of him. He might have called her ugly many time, but in truth, he could not deny that she was worthy of being named the number one beauty of Da Yang, who had charmed even a prince of a neighboring nation.
The red dress she wore clinging to her body, revealing the curves of her body. The lightness of its fabric made it possible to see her white skin around her collarbone under the garment. Her plump lips were vivid red from the rouge she had used since last night. Its color brightly contrasted with her black hair that now became loose stuck to the side of her face and her body.
Ouyang Feilong reached out to tuck a strand of wet hair behind her ear. Bai Yu was still staring at him, unblinking. “What do you want benwang to listen to?”
“I don’t have any feelings for Ouyang Mingxian, Xu Luanle, or even Chu Zhaoran!”
Ouyang Feilong arched a brow. The corner of his mouth unconsciously lifted. “You don’t want to be the mother of the nation of Da Chu?”
“I’m only marrying the man I love.”
“It seems Chu Zhaoran has loved you for several years. Aren’t you interested?” Without realizing himself, he continued to question her.
“So you saw me being harassed. Why don’t you help me?”
.....
Her hands slapped his shoulder again as an automatic response. But this time, Ouyang Feilong could stop it in time. “Benwang is still injured.”
Bai Yu remembered the trail of blood she had followed and stopped thinking of hitting him again. Still, she had not forgiven him for standing by and letting Chu Zhaoran harass her. He even had the gall to ask if she was not interested. Damn this man!
“You were in the room?”
Ouyang Feilong let go of her smaller hand to hold her waist. Bai Yu was moving around too much, it would not benefit her if she continued to do so. “Benwang was behind the folding screen.”
Without giving much thought, Bai Yu put her hands on his shoulder again. She had forgotten how close they were. “Then why didn’t Wangye save me?”
“Benwang wants to hear your answer.”
Bai Yu stared at his beautiful face. “I already said that I’ll only marry the man I love.”
“Qin Wang?”
“Does Wangye think so?”
“Or have you given up?”
“If I say yes, will Wangye believe me?”
Ouyang Feilong frowned. “Benwang is unsure.”
“Then I’ll prove it.”
As soon as she said so, she pressed her lips onto his. Her hands gently held his face, as she tilted her head to press their mouths together more firmly.
Black eyes met the golden ones. She was proving to him with the method she had thought of this split seconds.
Even though there were many more ways to show her intent, Bai Yu chose to move her face closer and gave him a long but fleeting kiss without invading into his mouth. However, because she had not thoroughly considered her action, her face felt suddenly hotter when she was gazed at by those golden eyes in such an intimate distance. Bai Yu let go of her hands and hurriedly pulled away from the kiss.
“I-” She did not know where to put her hands. And when the other person was silent, the villainess who had experienced countless kisses lost all her confidence. She could not even look into his eyes, even though she was the one who had initiated the kiss.
She lowered her reddened face as much as she could. Momentarily, she could not recall a word to say. “Um...”
“Benwang is still quite unsure.”
Bai Yu looked up at him, both surprised and confused, but before she could ask anything, his face came so close that their noses touched. She blinked when she felt warmth on her cheek. She put her hands on his shoulders at the same time as her mouth was overtaken again.
Ouyang Feilong hugged her waist against him. His hand caressed her soft cheek, guiding her head so their mouths could slot into each other’s gap. Her lips were greeted with a light nip before he increased his strength to attract her attention.
“Mmm...” While their bodies were pressed intimately, Bai Yu unconsciously made a soft sound. It was as if this voice was the trigger that spurred him on, sucking on her smaller lips even harder.
His hand slid down along her neck that had been tainted by another man’s touch. His thumb tenderly rubbed over the mark, a contrast to his commanding kiss that did not allow her even a space to breathe.
Bai Yu hit Ouyang Feilong with as much force as she could muster. Water in the tub splashed along with her movement and spattered onto their faces. Eventually, Ouyang Feilong let go of her lips.
She immediately gulped in a breath. Ouyang Feilong pressed a light kiss on the corner of her mouth as he took her in his embrace, then changed the position to be on top of her body.
Softness invaded into her smaller mouth. His tongue investigated and selfishly devoured the sweetness in her mouth. Bai Yu squeezed her eyes tight, her arms hugging around his neck. The actress who had acted in countless love scenes seemed to have become an inexperienced girl in front of the man who was numerous years older than her, who was eating her tofu with frightening expertise that robbed her of all resistance.
Bai Yu was not sure how this had happened. Was it because she started it? Or was it because Ouyang Feilong had tricked her into it? But no matter what had led to this kiss, Bai Yu was sure of one this: she was fully willing. She had asked herself once, would she accept it if the one who kissed her was Xu Luanle?... The answer was obviously a no.
Now she asked herself again if it was Chu Zhaoran, would she willingly accept his kiss?... The answer was also obviously a no.
When the goddess had told her that she still had her red string of fate, Bai Yu had a thought of starting anew. But she did not know how. She did not know what she should do to erase the image of two men in her heart who disturbed her thoughts for many lives.
Now Bai Yu knew that the man in front of her was the answer to every question. The little thing in her chest was beating so fast out of her control, and she no longer wanted to control it. She now let herself flow along with every emotion that was pumped.
“Mmm...” A sweet sound came from her throat as her tongue was sucked and entwined as the other person pleased. When she regained her thoughts, Bai Yu moved her tongue in response to his movement. Ouyang Feilong made a low noise that could be heard as satisfaction.
His large hand intertwined his fingers with her hair and pressed her neck, making their faces even closer. He contentedly tasted her lips. His embrace held their bodies together, not leaving the slightest gap between them.
Ouyang Feilong slowly, reluctantly pulled his mouth away. Their faces were still in the same intimate space, their eyes gazed at each other amidst the sound of their soft pants.
Ouyang Feilong printed another firm kiss on her reddened lips once, before moving to kiss the tip of her nose.
“Close your eyes.” At the gentle whisper next to her ear, Bai Yu obediently did so.
Another kiss renewed. The two of them could feel the other person’s rushing heartbeat. Two bodies that were closely entwined slid underwater without them realizing themselves.
