Jing Xi had no choice but to enter the bathroom.
She tried her best to avoid looking at the king and asked, “What else do you need?”
“Help me wash my body.”
“But… I…” Jing Xi was on the verge of breaking down. Huo Yunshen was asking for the impossible.
“My arm’s hurt,” Huo Yunshen hinted.
Jing Xi took a peek at the man’s arm, and indeed, the arm was still wrapped in a plaster cast. Since it seemed really inconvenient, Jing Xi convinced herself to help Huo Yunshen.
She walked towards the bathtub and did not notice there was a puddle of water on the floor. She slipped and fell into the bathtub.
Jing Xi screamed as water splashed all over the bathroom.
She struggled to get up and wiped the water off her face. The mask she was wearing had fallen off as she stared at the man awkwardly.
“I… I’m so sorry…”
She then tried to stand but slipped once again, this time falling into the man’s arms.
Jing Xi even felt like she had touched something she shouldn’t have. Embarrassed by her actions, she quickly jumped out of the bathtub.
She was completely wet. Her clothes were sticking to her body, tracing along her perfect body. Huo Yunshen couldn’t help but think how cute Jing Xi was when she got all panicked.
There was no way Huo Yunshen could hold himself back with what he was looking at.
Not giving Jing Xi any chance to escape, Huo Yunshen grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back into his arms and into the bathtub. He stared at her for a while before lowering his head and kissing her.
It was as if time had stopped when their lips touched.
Jing Xi was in awe. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Huo Yunshen’s eyebrows.
The kiss was gentle, like the wind.
Huo Yunshen poured all of his feelings into the kiss, and Jing Xi could feel them. Her heart was beating really fast. Her brain was telling her to leave but her heart was attracted by the kiss.
Jing Xi could feel her strength leaving her body as she collapsed into Huo Yusnehn’s arms while closing her eyes.
They kissed until Jing Xi was almost out of breath. It was then she realized what was happening, and she pushed Huo Yunshen away.
Both of them were breathing heavily. Jing Xi was panicking and was too embarrassed to look at the king.
She quickly climbed back out from the bathtub and ran out of the bathroom.
Huo Yunshen’s eyes traced Jing Xi silhouette as she ran. He couldn’t help but smile warmly as he recalled how cute his wife looked.
Jing Xi ran back to her room and slammed the door behind her.
She couldn’t believe that she had almost lost herself in the man’s kiss.
She had never even thought that anything would ever happen between her and the king. But the king’s actions told her otherwise.
Her head was in chaos.
She wondered if it was because she looked like the king’s late wife.
Unable to find an answer, Jing Xi took a deep breath and went to look for a set of clean clothes.
