They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 234 I Don't Believe You, Empty Eyes

She listened to his heartbeat and touched his face; it was icy cold.

"I want to be the second one."

After all, Sima Lingchuan had already taken the position of the principal husband.

He couldn't possibly remove Sima Lingchuan from that position, and besides, he was the most suitable person to be the master of ceremonies.

I never expected Chu Qiu to be so bold. He used to be so timid, but now he can actually say such things.

"Okay, I promise you."

But he was the son of a military general, so how could the empress easily allow her to marry him?

Who knows how many more hurdles we'll have to overcome along the way.

"Let's go quickly, Your Highness, your body is getting cold."

He wasn't greedy; he quickly let go, then held her hand with just the right amount of pressure.

Wu Ziyan felt that his hand was extremely hot, and everything he had just said was serious.

"Chu Qiu, slow down, turn around and look at me."

"Chu Qiu, stop."

Chu Qiu didn't dare look her in the eye. He didn't know why he had blurted out those words as if possessed.

Now that he's said it, he feels a little regretful. How could he be so willful?

Knowing full well their current predicament, describing them as being besieged on all sides wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But she suddenly hooked her arm around his neck and laughed, "Now that you're going to be the second oldest, do you dare to kiss me first?"

"Do you know the duties of a man in the backyard? It's to serve me well. Do you know how?"

"Your Highness...please don't..."

"Look into my eyes! How come you can't even look me in the eye? Look at me!"

"Your Majesty... I fear I might offend you." He looked away.

Even in the dim light, you could see that his ears were red.

"Just look at me once, I don't believe your eyes are empty."

How could his eyes be empty? Even without looking, he could clearly feel her warmth.

The cool little hand placed on his neck stirred the fire of his desire.

He didn't even know when he fell in love with this woman.

My Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and I felt my face being pulled by hands until our eyes met.

Her eyes were sparkling with an unusual light; those eyes were so alluring!

He wanted to kiss her, but she had already been with Fang Yuerong today…

Goodness, he's got a psychological aversion to cleanliness; looks like he still minds!

Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up to this point, Wu Ziyan had no intention of continuing.

He released his grip, and his expression became very indifferent.

The atmosphere, which was originally quite ambiguous, suddenly became like a fire that had been doused with water—only a dim heat, not a frenzy.

He regretted it a little; he should have just kissed her directly. She was walking ahead, so why was she a little angry?

He pulled her along, telling her to slow down, but she pretended not to hear him.

Chu Qiu held her tightly, and she almost fell over because she used too much force.

He pulled her back into his arms and hugged her tightly. His heart was pounding, and he seemed to be preparing himself mentally.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong."

What did you do wrong?

He blinked, and when asked to admit what he had done wrong, he couldn't say.

But I could only show it through my actions: I put my arm around her waist and pressed her against my chest.

His hands were trembling slightly, as if it were the first time he had done something like this on his own initiative.

Wu Ziyan drew a circle on his heart with her finger: "And then?"

"Please close your eyes, Your Highness."

She insisted on doing the opposite of him, staring wide-eyed at his face.

Whether from the cold or embarrassment, a thin blush hung on her cheeks.

Their breaths now turned into white mist in the air, creating an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.

"Your Highness, please close your eyes."

He seemed embarrassed, so she obediently closed her eyes.

But my lips felt strange; it didn't feel like the sensation of lips touching.

He simply placed his finger on her lips and rubbed it.

When Wu Ziyan opened her eyes, she was surprised to find him looking at her with tenderness.

It's hard to imagine that such a gentle expression would appear on his handsome, cold face.

No wonder he made her close her eyes; he didn't want her to see his tender side.

"Why?"

"It's not the right time yet."

She didn't understand. Did kissing really require the right time, place, and people?

But judging from his gaze, it was as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Perhaps he cherishes this kind of physical contact.

Besides, that's in line with his characteristics; he is himself, and Wu Ziyan is Wu Ziyan.

She pecked him on the cheek like a chick pecking at rice.

When my lips touched his cheek, I could feel how hot his cheek was.

"Carry me back." Wu Ziyan's breath teased his ear.

"Your Highness, this is against the rules."

"So, are you going to carry it or not?"

"back."

He carried her on his back, and she squeezed the muscles in his arm.

She has a figure that looks slim in clothes but is muscular when undressed; she's truly blessed.

Thinking of the tears of excitement that flowed from the corners of her mouth, she longed for his body!

They strolled down the street, and passersby would still point and whisper among themselves.

She actually had a man carry her on his back, even though she was so petite.

The man was so tall and imposing that it didn't seem so out of place.

Chu Qiu kept her head down at first, not daring to look up at her surroundings.

Wu Ziyan whispered in his ear, "If you don't look up and watch where you're going, I'll kiss your ear."

Forced to look up, I found that there weren't many glaring eyes.

Instead, she felt that the time was peaceful and beautiful, and she really wished that the road could be longer so that he could carry her on his back forever.

Wu Ziyan was on his back, picking at his hair with her fingers.

He felt as if he were carrying a child on his back, but her body was so light that he wasn't tired at all.

"Chu Qiu, what are we going to eat when we get back? I'm exhausted and starving after a long day."

"Chu Qiu, look, there are stars in the sky, and the moon is very bright."

"Chu Qiu, what do you like to eat? What's your favorite color? How did you live on the border before? You were really good at archery just now."

"Chu Qiu..."

She talked as much as a boiling teapot, and Chu Qiu was surprised to see that he had asked so many questions.

He didn't know which answer to give for a moment, then suddenly thought to ask, "Does Your Highness know my surname?"

"Situ, why do you ask that?"

"fine."

Could he be doubting that she doesn't know his last name? No way, that's the bare minimum of respect.

"Chu Qiu! Tell me honestly, were you suspicious of me just now?"

"Yes, I have my doubts."

"You stinky man, you won't even lie to me once."

"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you."

But before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination, and they both smiled.

Then they saw several people standing in front of Wu Chengji's mansion gate.

Chu Yu also spoke in a loud voice: "It's those two who's back!"

Seeing their intimate gestures, I couldn't help but smile like a proud aunt. It was wonderful!

Chu Qiu put Wu Ziyan down, feeling a little embarrassed, but she didn't let go of his hand.

Because his eyesight was also good, he noticed that Sima Lingchuan and the others weren't there, so he could be a little more blatant.

Chu Yu ran forward to greet them and glanced at Wu Ziyan.

He patted Chu Qiu on the shoulder again: "Good brother!"
