Chapter 328 - Petty Scales (2/2)
{...He better not mention this again, or just might kill him ≖_≖)...}
The Emperor smiled, a bit too much, happy with that she still answered the questionand even happier with her response. Riding on that high, he asked, ”What about me?”
Lei Xing raised her head and looked at him with condemning eyes, and the Emperor raised his eyebrows and indignantly said, ”A curious mind is a sound mind...”
Lei Xing scoffed and shook her head and lowered her head, going back to her resting position.
The Emperor waited for a bit, but when she did not speak, he pinched her waist and sulkily went, ”Xing er', tell me~” Lei Xing immediately slapped his hand and said, ”You are also being annoying right now.”
”En, I agree.” The Emperor cheekily responded, What about back then?” He asked, unrelenting in his hunt for answers.
Lei Xing rolled her eyes and sighed, ”Fine...Hmm.” She thought for a bit and then went, ”Yours is a bit complicated.”
”How so?” The Emperor swiftly asked, knitting his brows. While it was not so important how she saw him back then, after all, he was well aware that she did not welcome his presence at the start. Still, he did not think it could be that bad... but he would not feel hurt if it was, probably... As long as it was not worse than annoying. But it was still just simple curiosity, it meant nothing.
”Well... In the beginning, I didn't think about you much, tried not to anyway. You're a bit hard to ignore.” Lei Xing said, pinching him back with a smile, ”Then I thought you were shady, very shady -”
”Shady?” The Emperor interrupted with a raised eyebrow, not understanding and Lei Xing quickly explained, ”It means suspicious, everything you did was suspicious, shady - unclear, confusing, get it?”
The Emperor nodded as he knit his brows in thought.
{...Suspicious?...Is that better than annoying or not?...}
Lei Xing observed the Emperor's thinking face and could guess what was he was thinking. She lightly snorted and added, ”Also petty...” The Emperor immediately frowned down at her and Lei Xing snorted again.
{...Very petty...}
Before the Emperor could begin another sulk campaign, Lei Xing quickly kissed his chin and said, ”But I'm also quite the shady person, so we suit quite well..”
The Emperor, too easily appeased, smiled beautifully and went, ”Naturally~” And then the smile disappeared and he raised his eyebrows and had to add, ”And I'm only petty because of you.”
Lei Xing blinked at him and then snorted in disbelief at this reasoning, she chuckled and then was about to rebut, but before her first word could form, the Emperor covered her mouth with his for a doting kiss, which quickly deepened into a lot more.
The Emperor ordinarily could not help himself whenever she was being sweet and coaxing him and with their current setting, it was even more impossible for him to resist wanting more. So the dragon robe quickly found its way back to the floor again as the two happily frolicked about, the atmosphere quickly heating up again.
But before their passion could fully ignite, they were interrupted by Eunuch Li's voice calling from outside, ”Your majesty, I have urgent news...”
Shocked, Lei Xing instinctively rolled off of him, landing on the floor in the process. She immediately grabbed the robe and loosely wrapped it around herself. She was about to start crawling to locate her clothes, when the Emperor reached down, hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her back up on the throne chair and whispered, ”Relax, he won't open the doors...”
No matter how urgent the matter was, Eunuch Li knew better than to barge in here when the Emperor had specifically ordered everyone out of not just the room, but the entire building. Eunuch Li naturally knew better.
”What is it?” The Emperor called out, both annoyed at both being interrupted and at whatever problem has cropped up now to re-ruin his day.
There was a slight delay on the other side, before Eunuch Li's response came, ”...The one called Monk Du is here to see you.” Eunuch Li finally responded.
