Chapter 151: Depressed. Dowager Empress Critically Ill
Moreover, why is he removing his clothes? Can it be that this man is actually a closet nymphomaniac? Is he trying to tempt me because I didn't go to him? I mustn't fall for his tricks. I will not be seduced by his manly charms. She gulped and decided to stop looking at him by turning her head to the side. But heavy and quick-sounding footsteps soon travelled to her ears.
She was so startled by the sounds that she just had to take a look. Long Heng had decided to come to her instead of waiting for her to go to him! Isn't he supposed to crook his finger and use his alluring voice to call me over? Why did he decide to come to me instead? Just how e-eager i-is he...
"Ahh. You don't... Don't have to be in such a hurry." Bai Xiangxiu was panicking. When she saw him walk over to her with his overbearing stride, she subconsciously ducked behind a table.
Long Heng's brow twitched. Seeing as how she had avoided him, he felt a sudden urge to capture and give her some well-needed "punishment". The corner of his lips floated upwards and formed a dangerous-looking smirk. It scared Bai Xiangxiu so much that she kept distancing herself from him. Whenever Long Heng took two steps forwards, she would take two steps backwards. They played a game of cat and mouse around the table. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before Bai Xiangxiu had run out of breath. Exhausted, her body began to sway but Long Heng quickly pulled her into his arms. He threw her onto his shoulder and stood flushed with the headiness of victory. He quickly dashed towards the bed and gently laid her down on it.
He had no choice but to be gentle with her. After all, this girl was weak and delicate like paper. It might foil the matters to come if he was too rough on her. But to make him hold himself back now would be worse than killing him. Bai Xiangxiu had gone limp from exhaustion already after all that tossing around. All she could do was gasp for air while Long Heng had his way with her. However, she still did show some resistance by hitting Long Heng's shoulder with her tiny fists. She withdrew her fist a few punches later and blew on it. Ouch! Why am I the only one in pain when I punch him...
Long Heng took her hand a gave it a little massage. After that, he grasped her hand and gently licked it a few times. The sensation pleasured Bai Xiangxiu so much that she began to moan... I give up. This man is getting better at setting up the mood.
She'd intended to resist Long Heng's advances at first, but Long Heng had already masterfully disrobed her. The situation was getting dangerous. Whilst Bai Xiangxiu was mulling over how she was going to get out of bed the next day, knocking sounds resounded through the room. The knocks weren't very loud, but they were incessant. It was obvious that the person knocking had every intention to disrupt them.
"Your... Mmn... Highness... Knock... Someone's knocking at the door..."
Long Heng was too caught up in the moment to hear the knocking sounds. He didn't even notice the sounds outside until Bai Xiangxiu had called attention to them. He gritted his teeth and spat out fiercely, "What is it!?" His voice was cold. If it wasn't something important, then he would surely slaughter the person outside.
The person on the outside was actually Shu'er. He didn't want to knock on the door at such a timing either! The sounds coming from inside the room would make anyone blush right up to the ears. "Your Highness. It's news from the palace. The Dowager Empress is gravely ill and is in great peril."
The Dowager Empress was considered one of the backers of the Long family. The old madame and the empress would often help each other out because they were bosom friends. If it weren't for that fact, the old madame would never have agreed upon the marriage with the Lin family's daughter. The fact that the dowager empress had fallen gravely ill was truly a pressing matter. Long Heng had no choice but to gnash his teeth and hold himself back. He covered Bai Xiangxiu with a blanket and struggled to his feet with great effort.
