Chapter 320: A good mama atones for her crimes with good deeds

Han Yunxi coughed as hard as she could, but with no success. Long Feiye was so anxious that he kept patting her back, though he was afraid to use any real strength. When he heard Zhao mama’s reminder, he shifted to her front and lightly pressed down with his hand. Again and again, he repeated the motion with his fingertips until Han Yunxi suddenly felt a jolt of electricity pass through her chest to spread all over her body, leaving her somewhat numb. She sucked in a cold breath as her air passages cleared up.

Her lips pursed into a tight line as her body stiffened. She didn’t dare to cough any further, but her red face grew so scarlet that it looked like it would burst into flames. She wanted to move Long Feiye’s hand away, but her body had frozen in place. Long Feiye was too worried to see what he was doing, and simply stroked his fingers up and down until Han Yunxi stiffened. Only then did Long Feiye notice something amiss and came to a halt, wondering what was up with her now.

“Han Yunxi, what’s wrong?” he asked urgently, eyes furrowed so tightly that it looked like they’d never smooth out again.

“I…I…” Han Yunxi’s ears were burning. “I’m…alright now.”

What else could she say? His hand was still touching her chest! She wasn’t sure whether that shrewd old Zhao mama had seen everything, but the old woman was standing off to the side with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

Long Feiye was completely oblivious. He surveyed Han Yunxi and made sure she was alright before withdrawing his hand. “Eat slowly.”

Then he sat back and resumed eating his snow lotus seed soup, as if the anxious man from before was a completely different person altogether.

Han Yunxi was in no mood to eat. She kept her head bowed as her heart hammered in her chest, nearly bursting out of her skin. Her heart hadn’t pounded so much even when he’d forcefully kissed her in the past! She knew he hadn’t meant to touch her like that, but what was wrong with her now? She almost couldn’t take her pounding heart.

“Esteemed wangfei, are you still feeling unwell? Why aren’t you eating?” Zhao mama asked.

Long Feiye immediately lifted his head, though he didn’t say a word.

“No…not that, my throat’s just feeling a bit uncomfortable,” Han Yunxi made up an excuse.

Zhao mama immediately poured her a cup of water. “Hear, esteemed wangfei. Moisten your throat with this.”

Silence resumed in the room. Han Yunxi discovered that Long Feiye ate very quietly. Soon enough, he was finished. Zhao mama took the chance to nudge Han Yunxi before she spoke. “Your Highness, it’s already so late. Why don’t you stay here?”

Han Yunxi wasn’t an idiot and immediately realized what Zhao mama was up to. She silently pinched Zhao mama, but it wasn’t enough to stop her.

“Your Hignness, there’s only four more hours until daybreak. You can rest upstairs with wangfei while this old servant prepares breakfast. Your Highness, it’s probably been awhile since you’ve eaten the soft bean curd made by this old servant.” As Zhao mama spoke, she even pushed Han Yunxi, indicating that she should make Long Feiye stay. Han Yunxi wordlessly pushed back. Long Feiye was an intelligent man; he’d know what Zhao mama meant.

Long Feiye glanced at Han Yunxi. It was only a single look, but she was already embarrassed enough to avoid his gaze. He’s not going to think that I’m the one who wants him to stay, right?

She knew that she always ended up feeling empty when he left her, but she had never harbored thoughts like Zhao mama’s!

Some things are simply unthinkable!

It was obvious that Han Yunxi had fallen into Zhao mama’s trap. Faced with her current plight, she was even slightly nervous because she didn’t know how he’d reply. Long Feiye didn’t look like he had much to do at all. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it first before rising to his feet.

At that, all the air suppressed in Han Yunxi’s chest scattered, giving her some relief. At the same time, it left behind an emptiness and a faint sense of disappointment that she didn’t even notice herself.

Zhao mama’s disappointment was written all over her face. Her tone was even a little resentful. “Your Highness, it really has been ages since you’ve ate this old servant’s homemade breakfast.

But Long Feiye simply walked to a long couch on the side and lazily settled down. “Your lordship still has matters to take care of. I’ll leave after resting for two hours.”

Zhao mama was absolutely thrilled, and urged on Han Yunxi, “Esteemed wangfei, hurry and get the bedsheets.”

Han Yunxi still hadn’t realized what was happening, and blankly went upstairs to fetch the sheets. By the time she returned, brocade bed covers in hand, Zhao mama was long gone. Long Feiye was leaning indolently against the couch, one hand propping up his head with his eyes shut. His handsome visage seemed less icy and more soft this way.

Han Yunxi stood watching him by the doorway, completely enraptured. It was like she was seeing a painting of an attractive man instead. His beauty was so surreal that she momentarily forgot what she’d come to do.

Before long, Long Feiye opened his eyes and asked, “Han Yunxi, what are you spacing out for?”

Actually, he’d noticed her as soon as she reached the door, and had been waiting for her the entire time. Han Yunxi finally recovered her wits and walked over, preparing to cover him with the brocade covers. Unexpectedly, Long Feiye sat up and took off his white outer robes edged with gold. Han Yunxi immediately averted her eyes.

Very white…very white… But very soon, she couldn’t resist stealing another peek. In her past life, she’d rescued her share of lives and had plenty of men unclothe themselves in front of her eyes. She was used to seeing them naked, but…

Alright, no more bits. It’s not like it’s a big deal if I see some more.

Han Yunxi the dunce probably forgot what happened the first time she saw a naked Long Feiye. By the time she looked back, Long Feiye was in his white inner robes, the V-shaped collar resting just below his Adam’s apple. With its narrow sleeves and form-fitting waist, it made for a clean cut against his figure. When Han Yunxi saw Long Feiye lie down, she quickly placed the covers over him. It had to be said that this fellow looked extremely handsome even when wearing the simplest of clothes!
