Chapter 35 Relationship Heats Up (2)
Qin Yaoyao shook her head suspiciously, muttering incredulously, "How could that be! You didn't notice before, how could you suddenly notice?" He Yanxi's lips curled into a sly smile as he softly explained, "There's a reason I didn't notice before. On one hand, I was extremely nervous and didn't dare to stare at you closely; on the other hand, you kept your eyes closed, so naturally I didn't notice anything unusual. Then, you suddenly opened your eyes and kissed me. I thought you were still half asleep, so I asked you again, afraid I was just imagining things. But then, you kissed me again right after! Now I know for sure—you're definitely awake!" As he spoke, he winked playfully at Qin Yaoyao.
Looking at Qin Yaoyao, He Yanxi frowned, his voice filled with disbelief: "So Yaoyao, you've been lying to me from the very beginning?" His eyes were full of doubt.
Qin Yaoyao looked at He Yanxi's expression, smiled gently, and said with a mischievous tone, "Yeah, brother, it's because you're always so serious! I just wanted to get closer to you. I haven't even kissed you today. Actually, at first, I just wanted you to sleep with me for a while, but when I smelled your scent, I couldn't help wanting more. I also wanted to tease you and see how you would react. I didn't expect you to be so reserved, not even daring to give me a kiss. If I didn't kiss you first, you might run away!"
Her words contained a hint of complaint, but more so of her affection and dependence on He Yanxi. Hearing this, He Yanxi's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of helplessness and indulgence. He understood Qin Yaoyao's personality, knowing she hadn't intentionally deceived him, but had only wanted to tease him on a whim.
He Yanxi found it amusing. He gently pinched Qin Yaoyao's nose and said with a smile, "Silly girl, next time just tell me what you want. Aren't you tired of holding it in?" Qin Yaoyao pouted, replying somewhat aggrievedly, "Hmm, it is a little tiring... Okay, next time I'll just tell you, brother." However, she was secretly thinking to herself that she also hoped her brother could be more proactive. Oh well, it's already very good that Brother Yanxi is doing this much.
Just then, while Qin Yaoyao was still lost in her thoughts, He Yanxi suddenly kissed her again. Qin Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and responded to He Yanxi's kiss in a shy and awkward way. After a while, they slowly separated, and He Yanxi gazed into Qin Yaoyao's eyes and said softly, "Little Yao'er, I always have this urge when I see you, but I'm afraid you'll be unhappy, so I've never dared to do it so easily..."
After hearing He Yanxi's words, Qin Yaoyao anxiously replied, "How could I possibly be angry with you, brother! I especially enjoy doing those intimate things with you~ So, brother, if you want to do that again in the future, just go ahead and do it! There's absolutely no need to hold back." Hearing Qin Yaoyao's words, He Yanxi's lips curled into a slightly indulgent smile: "Silly girl, don't you know you can't just say these things to a man? It's quite dangerous! It's fine to say these things to me, but you absolutely can't say them to anyone else." "Do you know?" Qin Yaoyao nestled coquettishly into He Yanxi's warm embrace, saying in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Of course I understand~ I've only ever told you these private words, brother, and I'll only ever confide in you from now on." As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yaoyao tilted her head slightly, gazing at He Yanxi with tender affection, and softly asked, "Brother, can you kiss me again?" He Yanxi gently replied, "Yes." Then, he slowly lowered his head and gently and passionately kissed Qin Yaoyao's cherry-like, delicate lips. And so it went, their kisses becoming more and more frequent, each one more passionate and lasting longer than the last. Finally, after several passionate and lingering kisses, both of them were exhausted and breathless, their lips swollen and red from the excessive kissing, almost to the point of being unable to breathe properly, when they reluctantly stopped this sweet act.
He Yanxi held Qin Yaoyao tightly, letting her head rest in the crook of his arm as she fell asleep. Qin Yaoyao was already exhausted, and when He Yanxi held her in his arms, she quickly drifted off to sleep. While sleeping, she even adjusted her position to find a more comfortable spot.
He Yanxi gazed quietly at the sleeping little girl, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. Then, he gently rose and said to Mu Feng beside him, "Don't let anyone disturb us." Mu Feng respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
After receiving a reply, He Yanxi turned and went back into the house, carefully lying down on the bed and holding the little girl tightly in his arms again. Looking at the sweet sleeping beauty before him, He Yanxi's heart softened immensely. He thought, how wonderful it would be if he could hold his little girl like this forever! This thought filled him with immense contentment.
However, He Yanxi knew he couldn't let this situation continue for too long. He needed to solidify their relationship as soon as possible and marry the young girl so that he could rightfully spend his life with her. With this in mind, he decided to return to the palace to express his feelings to his elder brother, the emperor, and ask him to arrange the marriage.
Lost in thought, He Yanxi gradually drifted off to sleep, and together with Qin Yaoyao, they entered a sweet dream. When the two awoke again, it was nearly dusk, and night was about to fall.
The two slept in bed for the entire afternoon, until Mu Yu had prepared dinner and then had to knock on the door to inquire. He stood outside the door, raised his hand, and gently knocked, his movements very careful, as if afraid of disturbing the person inside.
Inside the room, He Yanxi woke up first. He turned to look at Qin Yaoyao, who was still fast asleep beside him. Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her. So, He Yanxi quietly got out of bed, went to the bedside to cover Qin Yaoyao with the blanket, and then turned and walked towards the door.
Reaching the door, He Yanxi opened it expressionlessly and said to Mu Yu with a hint of displeasure, "You'd better have something really important to tell me, otherwise I don't mind sending you to the Discipline Hall for punishment." At that moment, Mu Yu was terrified by He Yanxi's fierce gaze, his body trembling uncontrollably. He thought to himself, "It's over, I'm afraid my life is in danger this time! This is too cold!"
He Yanxi lowered his voice, his tone revealing obvious displeasure, and asked Mu Yu, "What is it?" Mu Yu originally wanted to answer loudly, but when he noticed that He Yanxi was staring at him fiercely, his eyes seemed to warn him that if he dared to make a sound, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, Mu Yu immediately lowered his voice and replied, "Your Highness, I have come to inquire when dinner can be served."
He Yanxi looked up at the sky and nodded slightly. "Yes, it is indeed a bit late. Go and prepare." Mu Yu hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Highness." However, before he could finish speaking, He Yanxi suddenly slammed the door shut, almost trapping Mu Yu's hand. He was terrified and quickly slipped away.
Upon seeing Mu Feng, Mu Yu eagerly recounted everything that had just happened. Mu Feng, however, responded indifferently, "You're lucky you weren't beaten with a military rod. You're utterly clueless." Hearing this, Mu Yu was instantly enraged and roared at Mu Feng, "You at least have some sense! Do you want the Prince and Miss Qin to starve to death?" Mu Feng retorted, "They haven't woken up yet, how can they have an appetite? They can eat whenever they wake up; they won't miss mealtimes anyway." Mu Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That makes sense."
Immediately, he caught up with Mu Feng, hooked his arm around his shoulder, and questioned, "Then why didn't you remind me just now? That's so disloyal!" Mu Feng sneered, "You can only blame your stupidity." Mu Yu was speechless for a moment, unable to reply.
He Yanxi gently closed the door, and as he turned around, his gaze met Qin Yaoyao's sleepy eyes. He walked briskly to the bedside and sat down, gently asking Qin Yaoyao, "Are you awake?" Qin Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and replied sweetly, "Yes, who came looking for you, brother?"
He Yanxi smiled and replied, "It's Mu Yu." Qin Yaoyao blinked and asked curiously, "Oh, what does he want with my brother?" He Yanxi nodded slightly in agreement and then said, "It's time for dinner. You've woken up too, so why don't we go eat together?" Qin Yaoyao nodded lazily, and then the two quickly and simply washed up and headed towards the dining room together.
When they arrived at the dining room, they saw that Mu Yu had already laid out all the carefully prepared delicacies on the table, arranged neatly. He Yanxi and Qin Yaoyao were immediately drawn to the feast before them. Qin Yaoyao opened her mouth wide in surprise and asked incredulously, "Brother, do you usually eat like this?" Looking at Qin Yaoyao's adorable expression, He Yanxi felt a surge of affection and smiled as he pulled her to sit down, saying softly, "What's wrong, Yao'er? Do you think these dishes don't suit your taste?" As he spoke, he continued to ask, while also serving Qin Yaoyao food.
Qin Yaoyao quickly shook her head, saying happily, "No way, I love it!" A satisfied smile spread across her face, clearly anticipating the delicious meal to come. She then lowered her head to eat, her eyes lighting up after just one bite. She continued eating, mumbling indistinctly, "Delicious, so delicious..." She savored the satisfaction of the food. Before she knew it, Qin Yaoyao had eaten too much. Gently rubbing her stomach, she looked at He Yanxi and said, "Brother, this food is so delicious! Yaoyao is stuffed!"
He Yanxi took Qin Yaoyao's hand and said gently, "Then let's take a walk in the yard to digest our food, and then I'll take you home." Qin Yaoyao readily agreed and nodded quickly, "Okay!" She secretly rejoiced, determined not to miss any opportunity to be alone with Brother Yanxi.
The two walked towards the courtyard together. After a while, Qin Yaoyao suddenly felt as if something was missing, so she stopped. He Yanxi asked with some confusion, "Why did you stop?" Qin Yaoyao looked at He Yanxi, frowned slightly, and said, "Brother, I feel like I've forgotten something..." He Yanxi pressed, "Forgot what?" Qin Yaoyao shook her head and replied helplessly, "I can't remember..." He Yanxi's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Then don't think about it. We'll talk about it when you remember." Qin Yaoyao nodded slightly in agreement and continued walking forward. He Yanxi watched her back and couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking: This girl still hasn't remembered that she left someone else behind. I wonder when she'll come to her senses.
After taking only a few steps, Qin Yaoyao suddenly stopped, turned around, and quickly walked to He Yanxi, saying with a look of annoyance, "Oh no! I forgot about Sister Cheng!" He Yanxi raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face, thinking: Now she's finally remembered. He looked at Qin Yaoyao's anxious appearance, seeing her rushing towards him with great haste. Perhaps because she was walking too hastily, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, He Yanxi reacted quickly and reached out to support her.
Once Qin Yaoyao had regained her footing, He Yanxi asked with concern, "Why did you leave in such a hurry?" Qin Yaoyao frowned and replied worriedly, "When we came out, I forgot to say goodbye to Sister Cheng. I wonder how she is now..." Hearing this, He Yanxi smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu is with her, she's definitely safe. You don't need to worry too much. If anything happens, Xiao Wu will definitely send someone to inform me." Qin Yaoyao was still somewhat worried, but at the same time, she couldn't help but ponder. Today, none of them had brought anyone with them. If they really encountered dangerous people, how many could the Fifth Prince handle while protecting Sister Cheng alone? He Yanxi noticed Qin Yaoyao's doubts. He raised his eyebrows slightly and then said softly, "Don't worry, I have people I've arranged there." Qin Yaoyao looked at He Yanxi suspiciously, seemingly not quite believing what he said. Seeing this, He Yanxi's lips curled into a smile, and he explained, "Didn't you notice that there are only a few of us in the entire horse farm?" Qin Yaoyao nodded in agreement. He Yanxi continued, "That's precisely because this is my territory. So don't worry too much, everything is under control." Hearing He Yanxi's words, Qin Yaoyao felt slightly relieved, but remained vigilant. After all, no one can be completely careless in the face of unknown dangers. At the same time, she hoped that He Yanxi's words were true, and that those secretly protecting them could ensure their safety.
