Chapter 160: Kissing
It was noon, the sun was shining directly on the ground, making the mountains and rivers look bright and beautiful.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao got on the carriage back to the city and headed towards the city gate.
She nestled in Xie Lingxiao's arms and closed her eyes. The warm embrace made her drowsy.
With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, Xie Lingxiao felt a little distracted, but he felt sorry for Shen Jingxuan who had stayed up all night with him, so he managed to control himself.
The carriage drove to a bumpy section and was shaken violently, making Shen Jingxuan feel uncomfortable.
She had to sit up and try to find a more comfortable position.
Their eyes met, Shen Jingxuan frowned: "Ah Xiao, close your eyes and take a rest."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled. He hadn't slept for two nights. Why didn't he take this opportunity to close his eyes and rest, but kept staring at her?
"Xuan'er, have you had a good rest?" Xie Lingxiao asked in a gentle voice.
"Yeah." Shen Jingxuan responded.
After not sleeping all night, she just closed her eyes and took a nap. How could she have a good rest?
Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was unwilling to rest, Shen Jingxuan wanted to talk to him so that he wouldn't be bored alone.
After getting Shen Jingxuan's answer, Xie Lingxiao leaned over eagerly and kissed her pink lips.
Their lips touched, soft and gentle, feeling wonderful, and Shen Jingxuan slowly closed her eyes.
Whatever he wished for was achieved, Xie Lingxiao’s kiss was tender and passionate.
After a kiss, Xie Lingxiao leaned against Shen Jingxuan's forehead, breathing slightly.
"Xuan'er, what is that porcelain bottle?" Xie Lingxiao tightened his arms and stared at Shen Jingxuan without blinking.
Porcelain bottle? What Shen Jingxuan didn't expect was that Xie Lingxiao was so persistent.
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to calm her rapid breathing, as if she hadn't heard it.
"Are you pretending not to hear?" Xie Lingxiao's hand gently moved on Shen Jingxuan's back.
Can she not pretend? If she doesn't pretend she can't hear, does she have to tell him?
The warm big hand moved along the back, and the temperature penetrated the clothes and instantly spread to every part of the body.
Feeling the gentle caress on her back, Shen Jingxuan's body temperature continued to rise and her body trembled slightly.
"Ah Xiao." Shen Jingxuan dodged slightly and twisted her body in Xie Lingxiao's arms.
Xie Lingxiao's breathing became unstable due to her actions, but he was still persistent: "Well, what is it?"
His big hands didn't stop, but his arms kept tightening.
"Hmm..." Shen Jingxuan moaned softly.
The soft and gentle moan entered his ears, and Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but kiss her cherry lips again.
A tingling sensation spread throughout her body, and Shen Jingxuan wrapped her arms around Xie Lingxiao's neck to support her limp body.
Xie Lingxiao’s heart was agitated by the kiss, and the hand that was stroking his back slowly moved forward.
Shen Jingxuan hurriedly pushed Xie Lingxiao away, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with panic and her pretty face flushed.
Suddenly being pushed away, Xie Lingxiao realized his actions, and nestled in Shen Jingxuan's neck, calming his disordered breathing and his desire.
"Xuan'er, aren't you going to tell me yet?" Xie Lingxiao reminded.
Shen Jingxuan was stunned. She could no longer tell what was going on in Xie Lingxiao's mind.
Was it just to punish her for the answers he wanted?
"It's just medicine." Shen Jingxuan replied.
How could she say it? Could she not answer?
Should a girl tell a man she likes that it is an aphrodisiac?
Not to mention right now, when they were almost honest with each other?
She would never tell the truth unless she said it.
"Hiss." Shen Jingxuan let out a soft cry as she felt a slight tingling sensation on her neck.
Before she could come back to her senses, Xie Lingxiao's hand continued to move forward.
Shen Jingxuan quickly held down the rebellious hand: "Speak, I'll tell you."
It was her fault. She underestimated Xie Lingxiao's persistence and overestimated her own endurance.
Xie Lingxiao stopped what he was doing and stared at Shen Jingxuan closely, as if as long as she was not satisfied with her answer, he would continue and not give her any more chances.
Shen Jingxuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She pursed her lips and murmured quickly, "Aphrodisiac."
After saying that, Shen Jingxuan quickly nestled into Xie Lingxiao's arms, covering her face with his chest to hide her flushed face.
Xie Lingxiao stood there in a daze for a moment.
The answer was unexpected. Xie Lingxiao had not expected that the result of his persistent questioning would be like this.
Looking at the shy Shen Jingxuan, his blood boiled instantly.
It was as if Shen Jingxuan was the medicine, not only making him feel hot all over, but also making him unable to suppress his impulse and wanting to get more.
To liven up the mood? He didn't seem to need it. After all, he was still young and had never indulged himself in excessive sexual activities like other young masters.
But new things always make people yearn for them.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to try it with Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Lingxiao was shocked by his idea. He didn't expect that he was so eager to marry Shen Jingxuan and do what they wanted.
As the sun sets, the sunset glows on the entire earth.
The carriage drove all the way and finally entered the city.
Xie Lingxiao tidied Shen Jingxuan's clothes and still held her in his arms, refusing to loosen his grip even a bit.
The road that seemed long and far in the past has been reached so quickly today.
After the carriage sent Shen Jingxuan back home, it turned around and headed towards the Regent's Palace.
When Shen Jingxuan returned to the room, the blush on her face was still there. Thinking of Xie Lingxiao, the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.
As night falls, the sunset glow has long faded and darkness sets in.
Shen Jinghuan's cheerful laughter leaped out of the room, crossed the yard, and spread far away.
She couldn't stop laughing as she listened to the funny stories Li Xu told.
"Huan'er, you look so beautiful when you smile." Li Xu was mesmerized by her smile.
Seeing her laugh so happily made all his efforts in searching for interesting things worthwhile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinghuan suddenly stopped smiling, blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.
She has always known Li Xu's feelings and knows that he truly loves her.
But some things are missed and they are missed forever.
What's more, it was not easy for her, as the prince's concubine, to escape.
She was also unwilling to give up her status and marry a businessman like Li Xu.
But faced with Li Xu's love for her, she was unwilling to give up.
For some reason, Shen Jinghuan felt a little depressed when she thought that Li Xu would change his mind after a while if he couldn't get her nod.
Shen Jinghuan felt even more annoyed when she thought that if Li Xu couldn't get her, he might like other women and marry other women in the future.
The life she has now is the result of her hard work. Even if it is not satisfactory, the dignity is still there.
She must not give Li Xu everything he wanted, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.
Noticing Shen Jinghuan's changes, Li Xu came to her side: "Huan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xu didn't understand why his expression suddenly changed when he was smiling happily just now.
"Cousin, will you get married in the future?" Shen Jinghuan asked in a muffled voice.
Li Xu looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you ask that?"
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is human nature."
Of course he will get married. He is the only male in the Li family. If he never gets married, how can he carry on the family line?
He had received several letters from home, all urging him to go back and get married, but he had rejected them all.
Shen Jinghuan said in panic: "Will my cousin still be good to Huan'er after he gets married?"
She wanted to ask Li Xu if he still loved her, but after hesitating, she didn't ask.
"Yes, I will always treat you well." Li Xu replied.
Shen Jinghuan was not happy when she heard this, but felt a little sad instead.
Being nice to her is not just about liking her or loving her, it's just the kindness of a cousin to his younger cousin.
Shen Jinghuan stepped forward and hugged Li Xu's waist, tears instantly falling: "Cousin, but I don't want you to get married."
After getting married, he will leave here and no longer care about her.
Shen Jinghuan didn't know how greedy she was at this moment.
On the one hand, she couldn't let go of the fine clothes, delicious food, status and position, and on the other hand, she wanted to monopolize Li Xu to fill her inner emptiness.
The two people hugged each other, one was crying weakly, and the other was wiping away tears.
What they didn't know was that there was a group of people outside the yard, walking quickly towards the yard.
