. Ji Dù was very unpleasant to her and would never give her face.And she's not wrong to scare me, scaring a fool is all it takes.The little boy's trick worked. Mi Luo didn't say anything else, she jus...This question sounds familiar.

Just like the night he appeared three months ago, he asked me this very same question in my ear.

Then I nodded, trembling with fear, which only brought about his violent punishment.

Now… It's been about a hundred days, hasn't it Whenever he asks me this question again, my first reaction is still to nod.

Fear, how can you not fear.

Before it was fear, now it's anxiety.

"...Answer me." He frowned, tightening his arms, seeming impatient.

I swallowed, my voice a hoarse whisper. "Still… scared."

" ... Afraid of becoming like those noodles" he scoffed.

"No."

What's the matter

I wryly smiled: "…… Let me go, Your Majesty Emperor, can't we just let it be"

How can I tell him that every time he gives me a little beckon, it awakens the longing in my heart, making me flap my wings again and again into the flames of desire, fantasizing about the richness of the word "wife"

"Why can't you say it" He didn't seem inclined to let me get away with a vague answer.

I avoided his gaze, calculating in my mind the time until my "mission" was complete. A hundred days had already passed, and in another two months the fetus would be formed. What would we become then

"Mu Xia Qiao, you are my wife in a marriage arranged by fate—" He pinched my chin.

"It won't ever change, will it I remember." I lowered my eyelashes, looking at the small sliver of collarbone exposed in his shirt beneath the darkness.

“I’m so tired of this, every time you want me to obey, you always say this. I've been patient and submissive towards you, but you still ask me how to obey My lord, both my body and heart already belong to you. Whether it's opening my body or getting pregnant, I've given up resisting. How else do you want me to obey” I couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

I'm such a spineless person, I was subdued after being beaten with a few whips and then given a piece of candy.

Jiang Qiyun remained silent for a moment, then suddenly inclined his head slightly.

I looked up in confusion, his icy lips pressed against my.

This is a feeling I've never experienced before.

"Well then Are you afraid of this too" His clear voice struck my heart with each syllable.

"Uh... scared..."

Fear of loss, however, our results will inevitably be loss.

I felt like we'd been tangled for ages, never a kiss this long, this pure. It stung my lips slightly, and when we parted, they glistened with moisture, crimson as fire.

Perhaps he saw the reluctance in my eyes. He chuckled softly, raising his hand to stroke my lip corner, and said deeply, "Didn't I tell you, if you want anything, just tell me How would I know what you want if you don't say"

I'm so embarrassed, I was kissed so hard that I could barely stand and I even gave him a reluctant look when we pulled apart. And he saw it all.

"I want to hear you say my name," he said, looking at me.

Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned: "Mu Xiaqiao"

"No, it's two characters."

His expression faltered for a moment, as if he was somewhat embarrassed to open his mouth --

"...Little Qiao."

His eyes, deep and enigmatic, held a glint of molten gold within their depths. I am ensnared by the allure of his fathomless abyss, a willing sacrifice offering flesh and bone, desperate for my soul to be consumed by his embrace.

When I leaned up to kiss him, I ran into his teeth. I heard him growl angrily in my ear --

"... You're not this proactive when you're in bed! I'll have to punish you later!"

After all, this isn't a private place. I can only lean against his shoulder and quietly soothe the bittersweet feelings in my heart.

He clasped my neck, his voice a low rumble: “...I never wanted you to die young. On the contrary, I hoped you'd live a long life.”

How are you doing

》》》

"Xiao Qiao, come here." My brother gave me a secret wink.

I looked at Jiang Qiyun, he let go of my hand.

My brother grabbed my shoulder and whispered, “Uncle said the ghosts here have fled. I suspect the next target of the ghost is Lin Yanhuan. Lili didn't make a wish to the ghost, did she Wishing for all the members of the Lin family to die. Currently, only Lin Yanhuan is left in this city We need to hurry and protect him. If anything happens to him, not only will we lose five million, but who knows where the ghost would run off to next.”

"Such a malevolent ghost that has absorbed human souls will only become more powerful. We must deal with him as soon as possible. If he manages to cultivate into a Blood-Faced Ghost King, even summoning the Black and White Impermanence might not be enough to subdue him." My brother spoke in a righteous tone.

“How do we protect him He has so many bodyguards around him.”

"Those bodyguards are useless, they can stop bullets, but we still have to deal with the ghosts. I just contacted him, and he said he'll send a car to pick us up and take us to his mansion to stay temporarily."

"Huh I immediately felt a bit resistant. I hate living in those kinds of mansions, and it's even worse that it's Lin Yanhuan's mansion. That Xu Qianjin probably thinks I'm going to steal her man. If I move in with him temporarily, wouldn't that cause even more trouble!"

My brother stared at me with unwavering intensity, his voice low and serious: "Xiao Qiao, for justice! For the innocent! For that five million—go persuade your ghost husband!"

... Sweat... Jiang Qiyun was already very unhappy that Lin Yanhuan sent me a phone, and now I have to move in with the Lins! Jiang Qiyun can be terrifying when he's angry, you know!

My brother said he was at odds with a ghost, but I think he's actually up against five million. He insisted on staying at the Lin family temporarily, so I had to bite the bullet and explain things to Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun's face was indeed gloomy, his gaze almost froze me. After I repeatedly explained myself, he finally let out a sullen "hmm".

On a cold, deserted street early in the morning, two cars from the Lin family were parked by the roadside waiting for us. The bodyguard separated my brother and me and escorted us into different cars.

"Why can't we sit together Why are we separated" I asked in confusion.

"My young master gave these instructions. Miss Mu, please bear with me for a while."

I hesitantly walked to the back seat of a car. The bodyguard opened the door, and I immediately understood why we had to sit separately—Lin Yanhuan was inside waiting for me.

He was wearing pajamas and a coat, his face grim as he said, "Miss Mu, I appreciate your efforts. I want to know what happened here as soon as possible, so please tell me everything before you return to the Lin family..."and don't have time to explore your teenage heartthrob fantasies."Ugh, he really talks...I simply told him about my experience. After listening, he cautiously asked me to send him a selfie so he could...
