If he really followed her there, not to mention the Pei family, the entire Lanling City would be alarmed!
She just didn't want to do that, so she kept hiding their relationship. If she wanted to do this, then——
"never mind."
She muttered.
Emperor Shitian couldn't help but laugh, leaned over slightly, and looked at her level.
As soon as she got so close, the familiar cold fragrance on his body became much stronger, lingering on the tip of her nose for an instant, almost surrounding her whole body.
The man's noble and cold face was right in front of her, and his warm breath was falling. As long as she raised her head, she could touch it immediately.
She felt her face was a little hot, so she quietly stepped back.
Even though she had seen this face too many times, she would still be easily bewitched every time she saw it again.
Emperor Shitian seemed not to notice and said:
"I know you have a lot of concerns, but... do you really want me to completely stand by and watch?"
Ye Xiyue suddenly felt like she was hit by something.
She subconsciously raised her eyes.
Emperor Shitian looked into her eyes and said in a low voice:
"...Xi'er, don't forget, this is Lanling."
He wanted to protect her at all times, not to mention that she was in his place.
Ye Xiyue grabbed his sleeve and pulled it gently.
"knew."
she said.
Emperor Shitian raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
She nodded.
"Anyway, let them guess whether it's true or not. It's a waste of time to worry about these things."
She has never been one to be bullied by others. If anyone treats me with respect, I will respect others with equal respect. If someone offends me, she will pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold!
"Besides, I have to refine elixirs in the next few days, so I don't have the energy or thought to care about this."
Emperor Shitian knew that she was telling the truth, so he showed a look of satisfaction and gently rubbed the side of her face with his thumb.
His movements were very light, but for some reason, at this moment, Ye Xiyue's senses seemed to be infinitely magnified.
The temperature in his palms and the thin calluses on his fingertips were all extremely clear.
The heat seemed to spread to her face and spread along her skin.
The air seemed to be compressed, making breathing difficult.
She could feel him looking at her, his eyes falling below the tip of her nose.
Ye Xiyue suddenly didn't dare to look into his eyes, as if she might be burned, and turned her gaze away slightly.
Emperor Shitian suddenly chuckled.
Somehow, Ye Xiyue was a little embarrassed by this smile, so she turned around and looked straight at him:
"What are you looking at-"
The rest of the words could not be uttered, and were swallowed up between the lips and teeth by the man who suddenly approached.
…
The room was very quiet except for two figures, one standing and one sitting, very close to each other.
The temperature of the air seemed to rise and became hot.
All her breath was robbed by him, and even the oxygen in her chest was greedily snatched away. Her pink cheeks turned red quickly, and she gasped for air.
After a long time, he finally let her go.
Ye Xiyue still didn't calm down, her chest heaved and she looked at him accusingly.
"you--"
Di Shitian's fingertips gently brushed against her slightly red and swollen lips, and then kissed her forehead, cherishing and forbearingly.
She had been treating Pei Zhongtian at Pei's house these past few days, and it was very hard. He didn't want to disturb her, so he didn't go there.
I just saw her today and really wanted to.
Even though he didn't say these words, Ye Xiyue could see it in his eyes, and she felt soft-hearted at that moment, unwilling to pursue his cruelty just now.
After a moment, she said: "I will be in seclusion for the next few days and prepare to refine the elixir."
