Chapter 414
Chapter 414: Do I Like Him?
“Then, let it be,” Helian Wei Wei spoke in an unvarying and slow tone, “I’ve always hated to fight with others.
Baili Jia Jue stared at Helian Wei Wei before the grin on his face gradually disappeared. All of a sudden, his eyes burned with intense blasphemy as he grabbed Helian Wei Wei by her chin. He gently touched Helian Wei Wei’s pale lips with his thumb and said, “Are you speaking your honest thoughts now?”
Shocked by Baili Jia Jue’s action, Helian Wei Wei gulped.
Baili Jia Jue chuckled nonchalantly before he gently caressed Helian Wei Wei’s thin lips. Then, he held her hands and said, “Don’t ever think about giving your place up.”
Once again, Helian Wei Wei was reminded about how strong Baili Jia Jue’s grip was. She felt as though her hands were cuffed and she was struggling to break free.
Baili Jia Jue asked, “Have you forgotten the things I’ve warned you about?”
Helian Wei Wei paused her action, “What?”
Baili Jia Jun grinned. Despite the rather beautiful smile, his eyes were carrying a hint of annoyance. He replied, “I’ll cut off your hands if you ever lie to me.”
“There’s nothing you can do even if I’m not speaking my honest thoughts,” Helian Wei Wei blurted out the truth instinctively, “Eventually, you’ll marry many consorts and concubines.” This was when she realized that she should not have said that.
Within a fraction of a second, her neck and cheeks were flushed red. Even her eyes had turned red.
After she recomposed herself, she wanted to leave the scene immediately, not wanting to see the man’s possibly satisfied expression at all.
However, Baili Jia Jue was a step ahead. He pulled her toward him, lifted her chin and planted a kiss on her lips.
“That’s… too much.”
Noticing how embarrassed Helian Wei Wei was, Baili Jia Jue tasted Helian Wei Wei’s soft tongue for the last time before he removed his lips from hers. Then, he kissed the corner of her red eyes as though he was trying to comfort her. He caringly caressed her smooth palms as he slowly waited for Helian Wei Wei’s breath to steady.
Helian Wei Wei felt a chill down her spine and could feel a tingling sensation all over her body. She felt somewhat ashamed by the fact that she was enjoying this moment.
Baili Jia Jue put on a devilish grin as he placed his forehead against hers. He stared at her with his deep eyes and asked, “So, do you want to tell me your true feelings now?”
Little Seven walked toward them, carrying a fishing rod on his back. He raised his head and stared right at the two of them. Then, his gaze landed on Helian Wei Wei and asked, “Third Aunt, what happened to your cheeks? Why are they so red?”
“It’s because of the hot weather,” Helian Wei Wei answered ambiguously while she furrowed her brows. Do I have to speak the truth now?
Baili Jia Jue knew that he should not be too controlling over Helian Wei Wei. He released his grip on her and threw a glance at his innocent and naive younger brother before he ordered his brother in an indifferent tone, “Look after your Third Aunt. Don’t let her loiter around.”
“Sure!” Little Seventh Prince was always confident that no one was more competent than him in completing the tasks.
However, Helian Wei Wei paid little attention to the conversation between the boys. She stared at Baili Jia Jue as he disappeared into the distance before she found herself a shaded place on the field and lay on the lawn. She chewed on the grass as she mulled over some philosophical questions.
Little Seventh Prince deemed himself as a responsible man. He did not trust his Third Aunt enough to leave her alone. Hence, he decided to give up his mealtime to stay with her and began to run around her with his fat and short legs.
Helian Wei Wei was puzzled about her relationship with Baili Jia Jue, not knowing how they had come to this state…
Initially, their plan was to help each other.
But, had their plan not gone a little too far?
Before this, all their kisses were done purposefully.
But, today…
Thinking about this, Helian Wei Wei unknowingly covered her mouth with her hand as her ears turned pink.
She could clearly feel the overwhelming affection when Baili Jia Jue’s lips touched hers.
At this moment, Helian Wei Wei’s heart was pounding so vigorously. As a result, her chest felt sore and numb.
It was as though a door was opened to her. She began to see many scenes and details that she had before overlooked. She vividly recalled how he half-jokingly tricked her to sign the agreement while he stared at her with his eyes full of passion.
But, how do I feel about him?
Helian Wei Wei had never been involved in a romantic relationship in her past life.
All of a sudden, she was reminded of a specific moment.
The instant when he said that he liked her.
Helian Wei Wei’s heart reacted before she could think. It was racing so hard, making her feel uncomfortable and her cheeks burn.
Hmm…
I’ve read something about this before.
There are signs when one has fallen for another person.
First of all, when one is reminded of his or her crush, one’s heart will palpitate.
Next, one will never be able to resist a kiss from his or her crush.
During the kiss, one will blush and their limbs will feel weak.
It seems like… all of these points are accurate.
She felt as though something had stung her heart. She felt a sense of numbness and itchiness in her chest.
Helian Wei Wei rolled on the lawn with her hands covering her eyes.
Something seems… strange?
Helian Wei Wei panted gently as her heart thumped.
She covered her cheeks with her hand, hoping to reduce the heat. Yet, she realized that her entire body was scorching as though she was having a severe fever. Her eyes were brimming with tears out of discomfort.
A pain from unidentified origin overwhelmed her as it stung and pulled her arms at an irregular tempo.
“Woman, it’s almost evening,” Yuan Ming’s voice echoed across the Fantasy Space.
Helian Wei Wei stood up as she tried to catch her breath. “I know what to do. From now on, both you and Whitey shall stay in the Fantasy Space and never show yourselves.”
“Wait. I have something else to say. Do you really not want to consider…”
Yuan Ming failed to finish his sentence.
Helian Wei Wei mercilessly shut down the Fantasy Space. Then, she casually threw a piece of beef jerky at Little Seven and left him to play with himself.
After that, she beckoned the maids over and ordered them to guard around the area. Meanwhile, she walked toward the hot spring that was concealed by the fog.
However, Helian Wei Wei had underestimated the effect of Yab-Yum toward her body.
The sun had yet to set, but she was swamped by the feelings.
Helian Wei Wei soaked herself in the water even without removing her clothes. Her temperature had finally subsided a little.
Unbeknownst to her, His Highness had been following her.
“Do you want to make way for me? Or, do you want me to help myself?” Baili Jia Jue stared at the four maids with his cold eyes.
The maids exchanged gazes. They were extremely loyal to Helian Wei Wei.
Baili Jia Jue put on a faint grin before he summoned the Fire Qilin and ordered, “Block all of them, and you shall not follow me either. Do you understand?”
He said the last sentence in a very slow pace and with a chilling tone.
Fire Qilin, who initially intended to follow its master, felt a chill down its spine before it replied respectfully, “Yes, my honorable master.”
Baili Jia Jue walked away elegantly. As he walked, with an evil grin painted over his lips, he untied his shirt using his long fingers.
Ha.
I’ve waited for this day too long…
