Chapter 503: Sweetness (Part One)
Zhao Anan got startled when she caught the sparkle in Mu Qing’s eyes. She covered herself up in a hurry and said in a low voice, “I… really can’t stand it any more…”
Mu Qing felt his heart melt at the sight of this little girl’s behavior. He took her into his arms and lowered his head. Biting gently on Zhao Anan’s snowy shoulders, he picked her up even as she cried and strode towards the bathroom.
Zhao Anan didn’t even get the opportunity of standing up or saying a word in the bathroom.
She clung to Mu Qing, and allowed herself to be showered with bath gel and flower petals by this man.
Only then did Zhao Anan realize that she was already quite clean. She had not showered for such a long time and should have been filthy. Why did she look so clean at the moment?
She lifted her eyes and glanced at Mu Qing as she asked in a soft voice, “You bathed me yesterday?”
Mu Qing put her against the wall and kissed her intensely until her lips swelled up. Then he said in an indulgent voice. “You were not in a position to take a shower yesterday. So I wiped you clean with a towel thoroughly.”
Zhao Anan was breathless by his kisses. Her lips ached, yet she ignored the pain. She was in Mu Qing’s sweet embrace.
She lifted her arms and threw a look at her hands and feet, only to discover that her nails had been clipped and groomed as well.
She slipped her hands around Mu Qing’s waist and said in a sweet voice, “Did you cut my nails too? I needed them for something, you shouldn’t have cut them!”
Mu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head to kiss her again.
He just couldn’t get enough of her and the longing for her sweet lips was so strong. He pushed her onto himself as if wanting to merge with her body.
Zhao Anan did not expect such behaviour from Mu Qing. She wanted to laugh, but she also felt her heart aching.
She could feel Mu Qing’s deep love towards her. It was the kind of love that made her feel that even if she died at this moment, she would have no regrets.
No one else would love her as much as Mu Qing did!
What on earth was so good about her that such an excellent man was devoted to her?
Tears trickled down from Zhao Anan’s eyes. She closed her eyes and kissed Mu Qing back, indulging in the joy and the deep love which Mu Qing was giving her. But then he stopped.
Zhao Anan opened her eyes to look at him. She looked charming yet a little confused. “What is it?”
Mu Qing wanted her desperately and she had also shown her willingness. What made him stop?
Mu Qing looked at his beloved woman and caressed her short hair. His voice had gone hoarse with suppressed desire. “You are too weak right now. When you get better, I will have you every single day, is that okay?”
He was fearful of her weak body.
Zhao Anan felt her heart soften, as if someone had dipped it in a sweet candy.
Mu Qing stared at her and her expressions turned him into mush.
He took Zhao Anan’s hands in his and asked. “What do you need long fingernails for? You like short fingernails, don’t you?”
Mu Qing’s gentle voice fell upon Zhao Anan’s heart like a feather, tickling her heart.
She leaned against Mu Qing’s arms and her voice turned happy. “I wanted to keep them because I wanted to use them as weapons on important occasions.”
Shen was happy that Mu Qing cut her nails, but she did not see the process, which ought to have been a cute scene.
She had never heard of any man who would care for a woman so much that he would even groom her like this.
Zhao Anan had been imprisoned for half a year and had missed him for exactly that much time.
Usually, when she fell into trouble, she would think of Jing Yichen rather than Mu Qing.
Jing Yichen was her cousin, almost like her real brother. What was more, her cousin was capable of solving anything. He was fast and effective.
However, it might be because her relationship with Mu Qing had progressed to a certain degree or maybe because she had kept Mu Qing inside her heart for too long, that he became the first person whom she thought of, during the past half a year.
She missed him when she was awake, and would dream about him when she was asleep.
She had wished that Mu Qing would come and rescue her, but dared not hope too much. Surprisingly, it turned out that Mu Qing was really the one who came to rescue her.
For some reason, her capable cousin had been replaced by the sunny and handsome Mu Qing in her head.
Or maybe she knew that she had a very important position in Mu Qing’s heart, and hence believed that Mu Qing would come to find her. That belief had made her determined to send messages to the outside world.
She had kept the long fingernails, not to defend herself against that muscular man, because she would never have been a match against him. Even if her fingernails had been made of steel, that strong man would have never lost to her. Also, that muscular man never had any intentions of touching her, so she was not scared of him.
She kept long fingernails, because she wanted to draw pigs.
Mu Qing felt his heart ache when he saw Zhao Anan looking bright and happy right now.
Although he knew that the guard did not touch Zhao Anan, he still asked worriedly. “That man did not give you a hard time, did he? Did he hurt you in any way?”
Zhao Anan shook her head and then nodded. She said furiously, “He was a very bad man. He would starve me every time after I tried to run away. And, no matter how much I tried to seduce him, he would not fall for it. I am not ugly, am I? I don’t think he likes women, otherwise I would have managed to run away by now.”
