C96 Self-inflicted Injuries (1/2)

A magnificent palace, a royal study.

Nangong Xiao sat majestically in front of the table. Her gaze stopped at the two portraits in front of her. On the paper on her left, there was a woman with willow shaped eyebrows, limpid eyes, and a straight nose.

On the right side of the paper, there was another young lady. Other than her different clothes, her appearance was exactly the same as the girl on the left.

Following that, Nangong Xiao opened a brocade box and took out a painting scroll. The picture scroll depicted a man with an imposing aura, like a sculpture. His sword-like face and straight nose could be seen from the painting.

”Misfortune.” Nangong Xiao said with a sigh.

The painting on the left was the one that fell from Yan Xiaoxi's body in the treasury that day. The moment he saw the woman, he had a bad premonition and sent people to investigate. His guess was right.

Yan Xiaoxi's background was not small, she could not be provoked.

”Men, immediately summon Prince Lin to the palace.” With a single command, the imperial bodyguards immediately rushed over to the Rain King Manor without stopping.

In a room with an ancient scent, Nangong Lin hugged Yan Xiaoxi as he lay on his sandalwood bed, unwilling to get up. Actually, he had long since woken up.

If it was a normal day, he would have gotten up early to practice martial arts and take care of official business.

Ever since he had married Yan Xiaoxi, Nangong Lin felt that his favorite thing to do was to stay in bed with her. Even if he didn't dare to do anything and silently hugged her, it would still be a type of enjoyment.

”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi rubbed her sleepy eyes as she moved closer to Nangong Lin.

Suddenly, she mischievously placed a kiss on Nangong Lin's face and said, ”Good morning.”

”Xi Er, don't make trouble.” Nangong Lin's hands were restless as Yan Xiaoxi's delicate body left. That was all. He did not do anything else that was out of line.

Yan Xiaoxi squinted her eyes and smiled, teasing, ”Why do you look so dissatisfied so early in the morning?”

Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment before lovingly scratching Yan Xiaoxi's nose. He hugged her hand and pushed her closer to him, pressing his head against hers and letting a warm breath spray onto her neck. He said in an ambiguous manner, ”Wasn't it because a sheep didn't satisfy me last night?”

”Little Linlin!” Yan Xiaoxi shyly glared at Nangong Lin.

She hadn't even woken up in the morning. Was it really okay to say all this in a daze?

”Xi Er, I'm hungry.” Nangong Lin imitated Yan Xiaoxi and stared at his own eyes that were as deep as the black pool. He looked at Yan Xiaoxi with a pitiful gaze.

She suddenly felt that the Nangong Lin in front of her was like a demon from hell. He was wearing the clothes of a deity, just to attract her, this prey. Once he obtained it, he would think of ways to squeeze her dry until not even her bones were left.

She had been tossing and turning all night, and she still hadn't recovered from it yet. Why did this man want to do it again?

Furthermore, he was looking at her with such an innocent expression. No matter who saw it, they would not have the heart to refuse.

”I'm tired.” Yan Xiaoxi softly said this word.

”Xi Er, Xi Er.” Nangong Lin would not let Yan Xiaoxi off so easily.

Yan Xiaoxi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. How could her childish behavior not be seen by Nangong Lin?

”Xi Er, you're asleep?” Nangong Lin asked even though he already knew the answer.

”Right.” Yan Xiaoxi replied.
