Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(44) The Fake Drama Became a Real Little Joke

Just when Chu Qing-Yan thought she was finished, a black figure flitted past her eyes, and immediately after, a strength could be felt on her waist, a warm touch with a toughness that was hard to ignore. Afterwards, both of her legs rotated and she crashed onto a chest with a distinct cold aura. If it wasn't for that powerful heartbeat sounding loudly beside her ear, she would've mistakenly thought that she had fallen into a lush green field, because she could smell the scent of nature. It was so clean and comfortable, making people want to embrace it.

Just when Chu Qing-Yan was about to sink into this illusion, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling and this startled her awake.

She immediately opened her eyes and that strong blackness still remained. The only thing she saw was a magnified top grade embroidered pattern made of gold colored silk thread. She abruptly lifted her head and just so happened to meet the slightly angry gaze of the person above her. Only now did she realize she was drawn into him, and thus, narrowly had a lucky escape from disaster. However, the actions of these two people at the moment——

Chu Qing-Yan's hand held tightly onto his collar, and her whole body was hugged to his chest. Such a small her was just like this embraced in his arms, as if this was inevitable and right.

Being this close, she discovered that the eyes behind the mask were so captivating. Looking from a slanted angle, the rolled up eyelashes covering those eyes were like pines leaves, slender, long and full. Looking at it made a person's heart itch. She really wanted to stretch out her hand to touch it a bit. But after just having this thought, she immediately put a stop to it because she could feel that the gaze of this person before her had always been on her body. And at this moment, she was using all her strength to stare at this person in a manner that completely made her lose that wise and virtuous ladylike conduct.

"Standing so firmly and you can still slip and fall? Qing-Yan, you are not the general silly!" His mocking tone travelled light as a feather from the top of her head.

Chu Qing-Yan stared, slightly distracted. This was the first time he had called her by her name. She was somewhat not accustomed to it, but thinking about it, there wasn't anything strange about it. So, she lowered her head, putting on a lovable face of admitting her errors, "I wasn't paying attention. It won't happen next time."

The person's height was very short and felt very light in his arms, just like a cute bunny. However, he also knew that sometimes, she would turn into a little cat that would brandish its teeth and claws. Even to the point of changing into a thorny little hedgehog.

But right now, with her head lowered and an obedient harmless appearance, it made his heart soften, so he couldn't help but to want to tease her.

He extended a hand to pinch her soft and tender little face, and with a careless tone, he said, "Just now, you asked about the corruption matter in court. If this king was to say that I can't escape from being implicated in this matter, what would you do?"

Chu Qing-Yan never expected that the usually unapproachable Xiao Xu would actually pinch her face like he was teasing a pet. All of a sudden, her entire person was stupefied. Even though she had the lolita-type body of a ten-year-old, she still had the heart of a twenty-year-old okay? Being teased provoked her fury to soar up, however, just as she was about to flare up, she met his clear and penetrative eyes. In a split second, her fury deflated, it seemed the other party really took her as a little doll.

With her heart having taken a blow, she heard him speak and all the hairs on her body stood up straight again. Could this matter really be connected to him? But seeing his indifferent, 'none of my business' appearance, Chu Qing-Yan wasn't able to see through him. She carefully thought about it and then put on a firm expression, whereas her heart was speechlessly crying, "My mother told me, marry a chicken, then follow the chicken, marry a dog, then follow the dog. His Majesty bestowed Qing-Yan in marriage to His Highness, then Qing-Yan will naturally share life's joys and sorrows with Your Highness and follow Your Highness until death."
