ou away from me. It wasn't until then that I realized how much I cared about you. The moment you woke up, I almost cried with joy. I was grateful to God for hearing my prayers and giving you back to m...In a gossamer veil, Xiao Ge walked toward him with a smile. The light gauze was almost transparent, outlining her graceful figure. The water-soaked gauze clung tightly to her body, revealing the beauty beneath it almost completely.

He felt a dryness in his throat and unconsciously swallowed, his legs moving toward her without his control. He grasped her delicate, boneless hand and pulled her into his strong, broad chest. Her soft, fragile body contrasted sharply with his powerful build.

"Little songbird..." A hoarse voice laced with wildness and desire, veins bulging on his arm like he wanted to crush her into his very being. Let me know if you need anything else translated!

She didn't speak, she just gave him a sultry smile. Her long fingers lightly traced the outline of his defined lips, sliding down slowly until they reached his chest. The look in her eyes was a mixture of provocation, shyness, and allure, but it felt more like an invitation...

Suddenly, he lowered his head and captured her red lips deeply, blocking all her retreat. He plundered her territory wantonly, igniting clusters of invisible flames between their lips and teeth, burning away each other's rationality.

“Hmm...” A captivating moan escaped her soft lips, snapping the last thread of reason he had left. He no longer pitied her, no longer treated her with tenderness. With a forceful sweep of his hand, the thin veil she wore tore in two. He kissed her delicate whiteness with a frenzy...

The cool water slapped against his face, and Qian Tingxuan suddenly opened his eyes. He realized he had fallen asleep in the pool. And the just-past scene of alluring beauty was actually a dream!

My God! He stroked his forehead and looked up, letting out a long sigh. How long had he been celibate Even taking a shower could result in these damn wet dreams! The worst part was the lingering feeling of regret, knowing it had only been a dream!

Although it was a dream, the moment he closed his eyes, the vivid image of Xia Ge'er from his dream appeared before him. This made him feel guilty: Qian Tingxuan, Qian Tingxuan, you really are a beast!

When he returned to the courtyard in his new clothes, Xiao Yu Ge was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Why did it take you so long to come out You're even slower than me. I won the snowball fight, and I even beat you in getting ready. So, admit defeat." Xiao Yuge pulled him down and sat beside him. She looked up to see his face flushed red and instinctively reached for his forehead. "What's wrong with you Your face is so red and hot. Is something uncomfortable"

"Ahem!" Qian Tingxuan coughed lightly, pulling his hand away from hers with some embarrassment. "It's nothing, just stayed in the hot springs for too long." As soon as he saw her, the image of her from his dream immediately flashed through his mind, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

“That’s right, it's too cold to soak in water for too long, or you'll catch a cold easily.” Xiao Yuge didn’t doubt him, picking up a piece of his favorite meat and putting it in his bowl: “Considering that you lost everything to me, this is your consolation prize.”

He smiled meaningfully and said, "But you lost to me in your dream..." Then, he quickly swallowed the piece of meat she had passed him.

"Hmm What dream" Xiao Yuge didn't hear clearly, upon hearing this, she raised her beautiful eyes.

Seeing her, Qian Tingxuan's mind was filled with those messy images again, and he almost choked on the meat in his mouth. He hurriedly waved his hand: "It's nothing..." If she knew what he did to her in his dreams, she would probably stab him a few times with a clavicle knife.

"Weird and strange." Xiao Yuge didn't think much of it, mumbled a sentence, and continued with the delicious food in front of her. Qian Tingxuan ordered the kitchen to make everything she liked best. She felt like she had gained a circle over this period of time being fed by him.

After lunch, they sat in the yard admiring the snow. The plum blossoms were in full bloom, adding a splash of color to the cold winter day. A gentle breeze carried a faint fragrance, making the whole world feel so beautiful.

"Little Singer, after the Lantern Festival, let's get married."

"Ah" Xiao Yuge, who was drinking tea, almost choked. She looked at him in astonishment.

"A new year has begun, and you're almost sixteen. We should get married." He couldn't wait any longer; he wanted to take her home as his wife sooner rather than later, to put an end to the thoughts of those other men.

"But we agreed to wait until after six months, and until my origins are found, before getting married."

Seeing the evasion and flicker in her eyes, Qian Tingxuan felt a pang of disappointment. He pursed his lips, remained silent for a long while, then slowly spoke: "Xiao Ge'er, have you ever thought about being with me"

"Me" Xiao Yuge was speechless for a moment, she dodged his gaze in a flustered manner. She didn't seem to have ever seriously considered whether she wanted to be with him. After all, she no longer believed in love.

He didn't get angry as I had expected, he just quietly knelt before me, gently taking my hand: "Xia Ge, it's okay. If you hadn't thought about it before, then let's start now. Think about it when you have free time, alright We've already gone through the ceremony and are officially married, but I don't want to force you. I hope you willingly marry me, willingly be with me."

Looking at his deep gaze, Xiao Yuge's heart trembled slightly. Humans are not plants and trees, who can be heartless But the person she wanted revenge on was Qian Si Chen, the future emperor of Lan Zhao Nation. And she was the daughter of destiny, originally the daughter of destiny and the future emperor were mutually beneficial, but now, she had to kill Qian Si Chen. It goes without saying that the future Lan Zhao Nation would inevitably be in chaos, and she would be the culprit!

She dared not imagine that Qian Tingxuan, who loved her so deeply, would still love her the same way after knowing everything. Her heart could no longer bear another hurt.

Since you know there won't be any results, why bother starting at all

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Qianting knew it must be related to the secret in her heart. However, how could he help her How could he make her love him without any reservations

"Little Singer, I know there's a secret you keep deep inside, one that I've tried every way to uncover. At the Lotus Banquet, you knew the wine had been drugged beforehand and prepared the antidote. You knew Consort Shu was going to set a trap for you and retaliated with your own plan. You knew my older brother would be assassinated at the Imperial Tomb and insisted I followed. And just now, you clearly knew that Xiao Yufu was plotting against you, so you turned her scheme against her. One instance could be explained as coincidence, but so many times... it's impossible to attribute them all to chance. Little Singer, I don't believe you have any precognitive abilities. Are you telling the future"

“I...” She stared at him in shock. He had actually seen through her, those things buried deep within her heart, like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. But fate wouldn't allow her to speak them aloud.less for a moment, then angrily said: "Xiao Yuge, my love with Brother Tingxuan is not comparable to yours, an outsider. He once quarreled with His Majesty because of me, and even his face was disfigu...
