Chapter 687
Little Angel
"Can we go back to our room now?"
Qian Renxue blushed as she listened to Dai Chengfeng's words, and gently punched his chest, but not hard.
"Um……"
Dai Chengfeng stopped teasing her, picked her up and carried her out of the hot spring.
A gust of night wind blew, and Qian Renxue shivered, instinctively snuggling into his arms.
He bent down and kissed her forehead, then strode towards the main house.
Throughout the journey, Qian Renxue was so nervous that she almost held her breath.
Water droplets dripped down her golden hair, leaving watermarks on the bluestone slabs, and also landed on Dai Chengfeng's chest, meandering down.
She buried her face in the crook of his neck, not daring to look up.
As they pushed open the door, the warm yellow candlelight instantly enveloped the two of them.
The room was decorated in an extremely beautiful manner.
The bed was large, covered with snow-white silk sheets, with light gauze curtains hanging from the four corners. The top of the curtains was adorned with tiny glass beads that swayed gently with the air currents, refracting dreamy light spots.
A gilded incense burner sat by the bedside, its faint sandalwood scent mingling with the sweet fragrance of flower petals, lingering in the air.
What made her blush the most was that there was a bottle of warm flower petal wine and two white jade cups placed by the bed.
Dai Chengfeng gently placed her on the bed, but did not immediately press himself down on her. Instead, he stood by the bed, looking down at everything with a smile on his lips.
"It seems... the proprietress of Liulixuan is very good at business."
Qian Renxue was curled up in the soft down comforter, only daring to show half of her face.
Half of her face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and even her small earlobes were tinged with a thin layer of crimson.
Her heart was pounding frighteningly fast, and her fingers were gripping the sheets tightly under the covers.
Even with thorough preparation, I was still incredibly nervous when the moment arrived.
“Dai Chengfeng, we…we should actually go back, otherwise Grandpa will find out…”
"Grandpa is still waiting... for us..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Dai Chengfeng's tall figure had already bent down.
He moved with lightning speed and undeniable force, one hand firmly supporting himself on the pillow beside her ear, the other hand precisely pinching her delicate chin.
The cool fingers touched her burning hot skin, creating a stark contrast that sent a shiver down her spine.
"Want to regret it now?"
"late."
Dai Chengfeng tightened his grip on her chin slightly, not with much force, but enough to prevent her from breaking free or looking away.
Qian Renxue's heart pounded like a drum. She was about to say something more, but the next second, Dai Chengfeng kissed her again.
This kiss was more intense than the one in the hot spring, carrying an irresistible possessiveness...
Night was falling.
Two hours later...
Dai Chengfeng leaned against the headboard, looking refreshed. He lazily reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his arm.
Dai Chengfeng lowered his head and kissed her sweaty forehead, his voice filled with a satisfied smile: "Finally..."
"I have finally avenged my brothers from back then."
Qian Renxue groggily opened her eyes, startled...
Then, I realized what he was talking about.
When they first met, she was Xue Qinghe, the "Crown Prince" of the Heaven Dou Empire, leading an army to attack a town on the border of the Star Luo Empire.
In that battle, Dai Chengfeng, as the young marshal of Xingluo, personally oversaw the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely until the sky darkened...
That was the first real "encounter" between the two, but it ended in her defeat.
She paused for a moment, then understood what he meant, and couldn't help but bite his arm hard.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The teeth dug into the muscle, but no real force was applied.
Dai Chengfeng winced in pain, but laughed even harder, pinching her cheek: "What, still won't admit it? You were so arrogant back then, today... you've finally gotten your money back with interest."
Qian Renxue glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed: "You still remember that?"
"of course."
Dai Chengfeng lowered his head and pecked her lips. "Unforgettable."
Qian Renxue snorted, and was about to say something more when she heard him suddenly change his tone: "That's not right."
She looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?" A mischievous glint flashed in Dai Chengfeng's eyes as he leaned closer to her ear, his voice low and husky:
"One time is too lenient... We need to take revenge several times."
Qian Renxue was startled and immediately became more alert, instinctively trying to crawl to the bedside.
"Dai Chengfeng, you—!"
Before he could finish speaking, his ankle was grabbed and pulled back.
Why are you running?
He rolled over and pinned her beneath him, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Your Highness, this grudge... isn't over yet."
Another hour has passed.
Qian Renxue was completely exhausted, like a badly bullied kitten, curled up in his arms, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible:
"You're a...bad person..."
Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly, placed a kiss on the back of her neck, and gently stroked her sweaty back, patting it reassuringly.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
He softened his voice, "Go to sleep."
Qian Renxue hummed softly, closed her eyes, nestled in his arms, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Dai Chengfeng looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes filled with tenderness and contentment.
He raised his hand and extinguished the candle.
In the darkness, only the glass beads on the top of the gauze curtain were still shimmering faintly, like a sky full of stars.
Silent all night.
The next morning.
The first rays of sunlight streamed through the crystal roof and fell on the disheveled bed.
Qian Renxue woke up first.
She moved her body and gasped in pain.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the man who was still fast asleep beside her.
Dai Chengfeng wasn't sleeping soundly; one arm was wrapped around her waist domineeringly, while the other hand rested casually on her leg.
The morning light fell on his face, outlining his strong features. His eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, giving him an unusually quiet and gentle appearance.
Qian Renxue stared at him blankly.
Thinking about everything that happened last night, a complex emotion suddenly welled up in my heart.
There was shyness, sweetness, a little bit of lingering fear, and a little bit of... peace of mind.
She reached out and gently touched his brow with her fingertips.
Just then, Dai Chengfeng's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Eyes facing each other.
He looked at her stunned expression, and the corners of his lips slowly curved into a smile.
The next second, he leaned down and gently kissed her lips.
"morning."
His voice was low and husky, carrying the languor of someone who had just woken up.
Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed instantly. She turned her head away and muttered softly, "...Good morning."
Dai Chengfeng chuckled, turned over and pulled her back into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Sleep a little longer."
"Um……"
Qian Renxue responded softly, closed her eyes, and buried her face in his chest.
The morning light is gentle, and the gauze curtains sway softly.
"Time to get up..."
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue looked at Dai Chengfeng and spoke again.
"Hmm~"
Dai Chengfeng agreed, but didn't move. Instead, he pulled Qian Renxue to his side again.
What are you doing?
Qian Renxue was startled and looked at Dai Chengfeng, asking him a question.
"What do you think I'm going to do?!" Dai Chengfeng looked at Qian Renxue, a smile playing on his lips.
"How should I know...wait?!" (End of Chapter)
