Chapter 94 - Poser (1/2)
Lei Xing's mind was completely blank. She just stood there in his arms with her eyes closed, not reacting but not rejecting either. When she felt his tongue slide into her mouth and entangle hers, her brain finally got a jump start. Her eyes flew open and she instinctively jerked her head back.
Lei Xing blankly stared at him wide-eyed, when he smiled at her, she immediately lowered her head with her heart pounding erratically.
The Emperor held her face again, causing Lei Xing to knit her brows and go rigid. He lightly stroked a finger on one of her ears, which had gone crimson now.
{...How cute...}
”Xing er', how about staying here tonight?”
Lei Xing did not respond, becoming even more fl.u.s.tered.
{...It's okay, we can do this. There's nothing to it...Once it's done, he moves on, then mayb-...}
The Emperor softly called again, ”Xing er'?”
Lei Xing gulped and quietly squeezed out, ”en.”
The Emperor smirked, seeing her this nervous was actually very amusing. After a while of simply looking at her, he sighed and then said, ”You should leave now.”
Lei Xing blinked up at him in confusion, ”Huh?”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes at her, ”You don't want to?”. Lei Xing quickly looked down again and shook her head. Then she tried to move away, but he tightened his hold instead of letting go. So she just awkwardly stood there with a confused frown.
”Xing er'?”
Lei Xing glanced up at him, then looked back down and did not respond.
”Don't dress like this next time, unless you're trying to tempt me, understand?” The Emperor calmly advised.
Lei Xing subconsciously nodded and then lowered her head even further in embarrassment.
{...I'm pretty sure that's the general idea but don't worry, I am going to evaporate that Xiao Ruo when I get back T_T)...}
The Emperor smiled at the top of her head and then moved his hand from her face and stroked her hair, then pulled her head to his chest in a hug, caressing her head. Lei Xing rigidly stayed still, feeling at a loss.
After a while, he released her then held her hand and pulled her along. Lei Xing kept her head down still trying to prepare her mind. She did not anticipate that she would need this much mental preparation for this occasion.
Eunuch Li smiled when he saw them heading towards the building.
Only for the Emperor to stop in front of the doors where Lei Xing's servants were. Both Lei Xing and Eunuch Li knit their brows in confusion.
The Emperor then looked at Xiao Ruo and motioned for her to come forward, took the cloak from her hands and dr.a.p.ed it over Lei Xing, who was still avoiding looking at him. After he was done tying it, he pat at her and said, ”Sleep well.”
Lei Xing nodded and then quickly turned to leave.
Eunuch Li approached the Emperor who was watching Lei Xing leave with a small smile and asked, ”Wh-What went wrong?”
”Nothing.”
Eunuch Li frowned, ”Then how come you sent her away?”
The Emperor smirked, ”It seems you underestimate me quite a bit.” Then he turned and walked inside.
Eunuch Li sighed in disappointment and then followed.
Lei Xing left even more confused at the Emperor's behavior.
{...I am very, very confused...Is he gay? Of course not, he kissed me...Exactly! Then does he have some sort of other problem? I mean he hasn't slept with anyone else either...That would make sen-...}
{...*NO, He doesn't!! It's your fault!...}
{...How the hell is this my fault?...}
{...*He sensed your hesitation! You didn't respond when he asked you to stay!...}
{...Who the hell would ask that sort of question when I already came here dressed like this?!... The only thing missing was me stripping and jumping him, which is impossible for me. I'll probably just end up punching him in the face instead...}
