Chapter 805: Chapter 802: Concern Leads to Chaos
Her heart suddenly tightened. She furrowed her brow and looked up, asking, âAre you hurt? Where are you injured? Let me seeâŠâ
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyanâs worried expression, his heart sweet like honey, his body leaning forward as he encircled her completely in his embraceâŠ
âDonât mess around!â Her hands dared not touch Xiao Rongyanâs chest, so she could only hold his shoulders. Just as she stood up, she was pulled back by Xiao Rongyan, stumbling slightly and falling into his embrace.
Beneath her were his firm and heated thighs; the warmth penetrated through her clothing, startling her into slight embarrassment. She hurriedly tried to apologize and stand, but Xiao Rongyan held her waist with one hand and pressed her legs down with the other, fixing her securely on his lap, making them level-eyed.
Xiao Rongyanâs gaze was deep and serene, as calm as a still lake, but she understood the almost devouring heat hidden in his peaceful eyes.
Realizing that Xiao Rongyanâs gaze had fallen to the corner of her mouth, and that he was lowering his head with the intent to kiss her, she tensed up and clenched her palms, staring at the distinct lines of the manâs face, not forcing to look at his wound but instead stepping back, asking in a low voice, âWhat kind of injury do you have on you?â
âJust a small wound, itâs no big dealâŠâ As Xiao Rongyan spoke, his prominent nose was already touching hers.
She held her breath, her hands that were on his shoulder unknowingly hooked around his neck. At the sudden pressure of his burning lips, her heart pounded erratically, cautiously and reservedly responding by tilting her head up.
In her distraction to avoid touching Xiao Rongyanâs wound, her lips were pried open.
She pushed him away slightly, only to be drawn back into his chest with even greater force. His lips pressed against hers, Xiao Rongyanâs breath invading her senses, making her heartbeat accelerate. Her fingers griped tightly onto the collar of his neck, her thoughts in a complete disarray, goosebumps even rising on her arms.
The sudden sound of sparks bursting in the fire pit startled Bai Qingyan, making her push away.
Xiao Rongyan didnât force her, but simply looked quietly at Bai Qingyan. In the flickering firelight, he took in the shyness on her face. His movements were gentle and composed as he tucked her stray hair behind her ear, softly caressing her exquisitely shaped jaw, his thumb gently tracing her lips, and kissed her lightly once more.
She turned her face away, her hand already pressed against his chest. âYour woundâŠâ
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, the man once again seized her lips.
Under her palm was the manâs strong and powerful heartbeat. Out of concern, she didnât dare to apply too much pressure, but Xiao Rongyan deepened the kiss, leaving her helpless to resist, her face blushing fiercely. She tightened her grip, and then heard the man let out a muffled groan.
She hurriedly turned her head, breaking the kiss. Looking at the red blood in her palm, she restrained her heavy breathing and asked, âIs your injury very serious?â
Xiao Rongyan clasped her hand, lowered his head to smell it, adjusted his breathing, and said softly, âItâs nothing, just a stab from an assassin sent by the Wei Kingdomâs former emperorâs brother.â
Upon hearing this, she stood up, âIâll send someone to call Doctor Hong!â
âKid!â Xiao Rongyan grabbed her wrist, his brows smiling, his fingers stroking her delicate wrist, he looked at her and said, âItâs just a small wound, no need to trouble Doctor Hong. Youâre just worried, but itâs really just a small injury.â
âI have some trauma medicine here, Iâll re-bandage your wound.â
Xiao Rongyan sat calmly on the fox-fur-covered soft couch, watching Bai Qingyan busy herself rummaging through boxes for the medicine kit. His eyes were filled with laughter as he removed his black cloak and tossed it casually onto the soft couchâs hidden compartment.
Finding the medicine box, Bai Qingyan opened it and saw that it contained fresh gauze and trauma medicine. She placed the medicine beside the couch, then looked up at Xiao Rongyan, âYou⊠take off your clothes.â
Xiao Rongyanâs lips curved slightly as he looked down silently at Bai Qingyan, kneeling before him ready to apply medicine. His deep black eyes bore a strong sense of intimacy, âKid, we havenât married yet.â
Her ears turned red at Xiao Rongyanâs words, pretending to stay calm, âDo you need me to blindfold myself? Or can you change the bandages yourself?â
Xiao Rongyan took Bai Qingyanâs hand and placed it on the clasps of his robe, guiding her to undo the first, then the second. Leaning close to her ear, his lips brushed her ear bone as he whispered, âOnce you see me undress, donât abandon me.â
The warmth of his breath and his deep voice sent shivers down her spine.
By the time the second clasp was undone, her face was already burning hot.
She steeled her resolve and pulled her hand from his grip, undoing his clasps. His padded robe was already stained with blood. Looking at the blood-soaked gauze wrapped around Xiao Rongyanâs chest, her hands trembled slightly as her cool jade-like fingers lightly touched his burning chest. She heard Xiao Rongyan take a breath, his body stiffened.
âI havenât started unwrapping the gauze yet, does it hurt a lot?â Bai Qingyan asked softly as she carefully began to undo the gauze.
Xiao Rongyan smiled at her, âMen can endure physical pain, but the touch of a loved one is truly unbearable.â
She lowered her eyes, ignoring Xiao Rongyan, focusing on removing the gauzeâŠ
The manâs tight shoulders were even more defined under the lamp light, his honey-colored chest and abdomen were firm and strong, without an ounce of excess.
Under the golden light of the candle, the beautyâs fair skin glowed, her ears red as pigeon blood.
As she unwrapped the gauze, she saw Xiao Rongyanâs wound, which hadnât healed and had torn again. Using a cotton cloth soaked in hot water, she cleaned the blood from the edges of the wound. She applied Doctor Hongâs hemostatic medicine to the wound and then spread some ointment on a fresh piece of gauze⊠carefully placing it over the wound.
While bandaging his wound, Bai Qingyan was extremely careful.
âHow did an assassin sent by the Wei Kingdomâs former emperorâs brother manage to stab you?â
She asked while tidying up the medicine box, watching Xiao Rongyan as he dressed.
Before Xiao Rongyan could finish buttoning his clothes, he saw Bai Qingyan preparing to return the medicine box. He grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her to sit in his lap, âDid you know that the former emperorâs brother once sent people to poison the current young Emperor of the Wei Kingdom?â
Not making a fuss to get out of his lap, she nodded.
âThen⊠have you heard about how the Ghost-Faced General of Nanrong subdued the Rong and captured the Yan army?â
âAlthough there hasnât been any confirmed news, I heard that Nanrong subdued the Rong, ending the internal conflict. I guessed⊠the Yan army was either expelled by the Rong or captured. But if the Yan army were expelled, Jin would surely have heard newsâŠâ
