Seeing her return empty-handed, Yue Bei Yang turned away without asking, and picked up the bedding inside.
"What are you standing around for! Pull out the sheet from underneath!"
Qin Jiu Jiu understood Yue Bei Yang's intention and immediately moved closer to help him pull out the sheet beneath him.
As she drew near, Yue Bei Yang's heart skipped a beat. He focused his mind and then cooperated with Qin Jiu Jiu's movements.
"Tie me up!"
Yue Bei Yang continued to give instructions.
Qin Jiu Jiu looked at the sheet in her hand, hesitant, but seeing Yue Bei Yang's increasingly red face, she couldn't hesitate any longer and quickly stepped forward to tie him up behind his back.
The sheet was too large, and it was a bit strenuous to tie, so she tied it with extreme care.
A faint fragrance entered Yue Bei Yang's nostrils, making his tense body even more nervous. His heart seemed to beat faster.
He turned his head to face Qin Jiu Jiu, and the fragrance became stronger. It was emanating from her!
Although his reason told him not to get closer, his body, as if out of control, couldn't help but move towards her. Her petite figure was within reach. He looked at her, his eyes gradually turning crimson.
He was desperately eager to possess her!
This was a feeling he had never experienced before! But it was so real, so uncontrollable!
It nearly made him lose his mind.
Qin Jiu Jiu seemed to have finished tying him. When she looked up, she met Yue Bei Yang's face, which was inches away. His breath was hot, spraying onto her face, and even her fair skin blushed.
The person before her, at this moment, resembled Xie Jing so much.
In a daze, Qin Jiu Jiu actually thought he was Xie Jing and called out, "Second Young Master Xie?"
Yue Bei Yang was in a state of confusion and didn't hear Qin Jiu Jiu's words clearly. He only saw her lips move as if she were speaking.
Looking at her alluring lips, he suddenly leaned forward and kissed her.
That familiar feeling ignited his desire. He no longer knew what he was doing, only that he desperately wanted to possess the person before him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, his hands were tied and he couldn't exert himself.
The familiar feeling receded. In his desperation, he tried to break free to reach for her lips and the scent of her body, but there was no fragrance to be found.
Qin Jiu Jiu's eyes widened. Looking at the person so close, in a flash, she pushed him away and retreated abruptly.
Only when she was a distance away from him did she look at him, rubbing her lips that he had just kissed. They felt slightly numb.
"Outrageous!" Qin Jiu Jiu cursed, then walked away. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
She walked to the door and tentatively tried to open it, but it was still locked. She feared no one would open it tonight.
Qin Jiu Jiu surveyed the room, and her gaze landed on a soft couch. Her face lit up with joy. She took another set of bedding from the cabinet, roughly spread it out, and then turned to look into the inner room.
The soft couch and the bed were quite far apart. The soft couch was in the outer room, while the bed was in the inner room.
Qin Jiu Jiu couldn't see the situation in the inner room and heard no movement. Only then did she enter the inner room. She saw Yue Bei Yang, his face red, half-sitting with his eyes closed. He was completely devoid of his usual cold demeanor and looked rather cute.
Forget it, she'd consider it an act of charity…
Qin Jiu Jiu walked closer to Yue Bei Yang and gently pushed him. He fell onto the bed. She then took out the quilt from inside and covered him with it.
She glanced at him and noticed he was still wearing his shoes. She sighed softly, walked to the foot of the bed, gently took off his shoes, and moved him entirely onto the bed before leaving.
She didn't see, however, that after she left, the person on the bed opened a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Though slightly drowsy, they gradually regained clarity.
He tilted his head, his gaze fixed on her retreating back until she disappeared from view. Only then did he retract his gaze and close his eyes.
Who was she?
The next morning.
Qin Jiu Jiu slept poorly that night. She woke up early. She had woken up multiple times during the night and slept restlessly, but Yue Bei Yang's breathing was even, and he seemed to have slept very well.
As she was about to sit up on the soft couch, she felt a soreness in her neck and shoulders. She had a stiff neck!
So she could only carefully sit up, not daring to move her head. As expected, sleeping on this soft couch without a pillow made it easy to get a stiff neck!
She felt the pain and let out a few quiet gasps.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
Qin Jiu Jiu endured the pain and quickly returned to the inner room.
The footsteps seemed to stop right in front of her door. Qin Jiu Jiu had a sudden idea. Since Xing Zhan wanted them to consummate their marriage, she would fulfill his wish. Even if it was just a pretense, at least he wouldn't cause trouble for the time being!
So Qin Jiu Jiu stood by the bedside, looking at Yue Bei Yang, who was sleeping soundly. He was lying on the outer side of the bed, leaving a space inside. Just as the person was about to open the door, Qin Jiu Jiu quickly slipped into the quilt.
A chill washed over her.
The quilt was surprisingly cold. She moved further inside, and the chill lessened slightly, likely from Yue Bei Yang's body.
She didn't expect Yue Bei Yang to be as cold as Xie Jing all over.
The door creaked open. Qin Jiu Jiu shrunk further into the quilt, poked her head out, and closed her eyes.
Her heart pounded rapidly, completely ignoring the subtle disturbance in the breathing of the person beside her.
The moment Qin Jiu Jiu closed her eyes, Yue Bei Yang opened his. His peach blossom eyes were still drowsy, making him look incredibly affectionate.
He secretly untied the sheet hidden beneath the quilt. His hands were a little numb after being tied all night. Having just regained his freedom, he adjusted his posture.
Qin Jiu Jiu naturally felt the movement beside her. She opened her eyes and was about to speak when Yue Bei Yang suddenly covered her mouth with one hand.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
Yue Bei Yang removed his hand from her lips. Qin Jiu Jiu's mind flashed back to last night's events. Suddenly, she turned her body to face the wall.
Her heart pounded incessantly.
Although she knew this person was Yue Bei Yang, at times he seemed so much like Xie Jing.
Yue Bei Yang's hand reached out and pulled Qin Jiu Jiu into his embrace. Just as Qin Jiu Jiu was about to struggle, she heard the footsteps stop not far from them, as if someone was watching them.
Qin Jiu Jiu gritted her teeth and stopped moving.
A female voice came from behind, "Second Prince, Princess Consort, it is time to rise!"
After a moment, Qin Jiu Jiu feigned waking up, turned around, and saw a face close to hers.
She deliberately patted Yue Bei Yang's face with her hand. Seeing Yue Bei Yang frown, Qin Jiu Jiu smiled. She was intentionally teasing him!
"Your Highness, it's time to get up!"
She deliberately emphasized her tone and didn't stop her hand, pulling his ear.
Yue Bei Yang's skin was fair, and a gentle pull made his ears quickly turn red.
He opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes filled with intense anger.
Qin Jiu Jiu quickly released her hand and shifted her gaze to the maid in the room.
It was a young girl. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were elsewhere, seemingly not daring to look at them.
Qin Jiu Jiu said, "You go out first. His Highness and I will get up shortly!"
The maid looked at her, but then quickly looked away.
With lowered eyebrows, she exited the room.
"Princess Consort, you are truly audacious!"
