Feng Lingxue’s hair floated around in the water while she just sank.
On the side, Xuan Ying stood beside the bathtub, giving her a condescending look, waiting for her to wake up. But even after a while, she just continued sinking, not making a single sound.
His pupils contracted as he finally realized something was wrong, at that exact moment, he even forgot to breathe.
Before he could even think, his body reacted, bending over, he stretched his hands into the water and grabbed her slender arms, hauling her up.
Bang! His knee knocked into the rim of the bathtub, his entire person fell over.
The water spilled over, even reaching the carpeted ground outside. His pajamas were soaked, clinging to him like a second skin. The expression on his face was completely unlike his usual demeanor, for the first time, he presented a frantic side to him that was never seen.
Pulling Feng Lingxue into his arms, he patted her face lightly as he called her name with a hoarse voice, “Feng Lingxue! Feng Lingxue!”
There was no reaction at all.
“Feng Lingxue, don’t die yet! I’ve not allowed you to die yet! Did you hear me? Open your eyes now! You can never die, you know that you can’t escape, I will find you wherever you are, even when you are dead!”
After saying that, he lowered his head, kissing her on the lips. Pinching the sides of her face, he started resuscitating her with a CPR.
Cough.
Cough.
Feng Lingxue coughed twice, her lashes fluttered. She was regaining consciousness.
She had finally woken up.
She was awake!
Xuan Ying could feel that something was about to jump out of his chest. Clenching his fists tightly, he realized that his palms were both wet.
Was he panicking?
Maybe.
The corners of his lips kicked up into a wry smile. He supposed that was some form of anxiety. After all, he hadn’t tormented her enough yet, how could he just allow her to die so easily?
Tormenting her was probably his biggest joy in life right now.
His face was a thunderous black, panting heavily and he came over, his lips touching hers. He was resuscitating her earlier, but now, he really was kissing her again.
Her lips were soft and supple, smelling so good. His Adam’s apple bobbed earlier when he gave her a CPR. Now he started kissing her, as though he was savoring the best dessert on earth, pushing his tongue inside her mouth so domineeringly.
His tongue explored every corner of her mouth, tasting the sweet juices inside as he licked the tip of her tongue.
Was this how it felt to kiss someone?
It felt so enjoyable, his mind was almost blown away.
Though he did enjoy the time in bed earlier, it felt good but the kiss felt even more pleasurable for him.
This woman really was a heavenly creature.
He really liked her.
Feng Lingxue had a dream.
In her dream, she was running on a lawn and a tiger chased after her from behind. She was frightened and could only continue running away with all her might. Run! She had to keep running. When she turned her head back to check, the tiger was right on her heels, pouncing onto her as they both fell.
Ah!
She let out a shriek, thinking that the tiger would bite her to death but it hadn’t happened.
The tiger kissed her on the lips.
Feng Lingxue jolted awake.
And then like a phantom from the shadows, he appeared in front of her with a mask covering half of his face, but it hadn’t affected his suaveness at all.
…
Why was he always wearing that mask?
He never used to wear it in the past.
Before Feng Lingxue could figure out why, she realized she wasn’t in an appropriate place now. She was seated on his lap…
“You’re finally awake?”
Xuan Ying looked at her with a lustful gaze, holding her slim waist.
…
One hour later.
The bathroom door opened, Xuan Ying placed Feng Lingxue on the bed. Feng Lingxue felt as though she was going to fall apart, she didn’t even have the energy to open her eyes.
Xuan Ying wore a black silky pajamas, he appeared rejuvenated, unlike the menacing, beastly image he had just now.
He glanced at the woman on the bed, she just lay there quietly. She appeared even more attractive to him when she was feeble, he just couldn’t get sick of her no matter what. Damn, she really was alluring.
Knock knock.
The voice of one of the underlings was heard from outside. “Master.”
Xuan Ying turned around, stepping out of the room.
…
He had left.
Finally, he had left.
Feng Lingxue could finally relax after being tensed up for so long, she rested in the warm silk blankets.
Knock knock, the room door was pushed open and the experienced servant brought in with her two young maids.
“Miss Feng, please take this pill.” The experienced servant handed over a pill, completely expressionless.
Feng Lingxue sat up. “What is this?”
“Contraceptive pill.”
Contraceptive pill?
Feng Lingxue pursed her lips. “I’m allergic to Western medicine, could you please prepare contraceptive Chinese medicine for me?
The two maids were already filled with jealousy. Xuan Ying had come back four hours ago, but he remained in the room with her the entire time. Not considering anything else, Xuan Ying definitely was obsessed with this woman’s body.
Now that room was in an extreme mess, the water spilled over from the bathtub, it was havoc.
When Xuan Ying came back just now, they quickly ran over, squeezing their cleavage as they bent down to change his shoes but he just kicked them away mercilessly, heading straight upstairs.
With that heartless demeanor of his, he didn’t even bother to give them a glance.
The maids signaled at each other, speaking up, “Miss Feng, are you making excuses in order to avoid taking the contraceptive pill? Just give up now, who are you to even conceive Master’s baby?”
“You’re just a plaything of Master. Master hasn’t married anyone yet, but only his future duchess is fit to conceive his baby. You’re only a social escort!”
Feng Lingxue remained composed, giving the maids an impassive glance. “Both of you are in love with your Master right? I have a way to make sure both of you can get together with him.”
The maids’ eyes lit up, quickly asking, “What way?”
Feng Lingxue raised her brows, she rolled her eyes as she replied, “Master likes social escorts, you two can go and become social escorts.”
“You!”
The maids were fuming with rage hearing those words, almost spitting a mouthful of blood out.
“That is enough.” The experienced servant finally came into the picture, handing over the contraceptive pill to Feng Lingxue. “Miss Feng, I’m just doing my job here. Please take this contraceptive pill.”
Feng Lingxue went silent for a few seconds before she took the pill from her, placing it in her mouth. She swallowed the pill without any water.
…
Xuan Ying remained in the study room for an hour, handling key matters pertaining to the armed forces. He was set to return to Country A the next day.
After handling work matters, he got up to return to the room. The room had been cleaned, the room lit up with sandalwood to remove the heavy scent of sex.
He walked over to the bed, looking at Feng Lingxue, who lay on the bed.
It was then that he realized something unusual about her.
Feng Lingxue’s face was completely red, her brows knitted as though she was in a lot of pain.
