I am born a beauty, and I am supreme - Chapter 33
"Don't be so arrogant..." The voice had become extremely low.
She was truly at her breaking point, and her only remaining sanity was to leave this person and go home.
But……
I tried to open my eyes and looked around. It was all gray and hazy. If I were to walk alone, I would probably get lost in this deep palace.
A warmth spread through her body as the person hugged her tightly.
Tang Leyan instinctively began to struggle.
"Don't move, it's easier to carry you than to drag you," the person said coldly in my ear.
"Being held by you is not as comfortable as sleeping on the floor...it's more relaxing." She finished saying this with conviction, and then unceremoniously rested her head against his chest.
“I warned you, even if you return today, you will naturally come begging to me tomorrow,” he said calmly.
"Why..." His eyes were already closed.
"Because..." Chu Gexing didn't finish his sentence before the person in his arms began to breathe steadily, clearly asleep.
※※※※※
Almost the instant Chu Gexing carried Tang Leyan out of the palace, a nimble figure appeared in the darkness, moving as if riding the wind, and swiftly arrived in front of the two.
"Put down the young master!" A clear shout rang out, and the man lunged forward.
Chu Gexing lightly stomped his cloud-stepping boots on the ground, his whole being as light and graceful as a blue enchanting flower, blooming in the night with a rustling sound, brushing past the person who came.
"Stop!" The man stopped his momentum, paused for a moment, then shouted and leaped forward again.
"Stop." Chu Gexing said softly, and then stopped.
The man stopped fighting, but his arms remained in a fighting stance as he shouted, "Quickly put the young master down!"
In the dim light, the person who came into view could be seen. He had a delicate face, willow-leaf eyebrows that looked menacing, and his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him. His usual lazy demeanor was completely gone. It was Mo Hua, Tang Leyan's personal maid.
"Last time you tried so hard to push your young master to me, why have you changed your attitude this time?" Chu Gexing said casually.
Her face was stunning, as if painted by a master artist.
Such stunning beauty, who could resist?
Mo Hua lowered his eyes, suppressing the shock in his heart, and gave a cold laugh: "Because I only now find out that you have ulterior motives. What did you do to Xiao Di?"
"Oh?" Chu Gexing was looking down at the sleeping face of the person in his arms. Seeing that her eyelashes covered her eyes and she was not moving, he looked up and pursed his red lips. "Has it started?"
"It really was you!" Mo Hua was furious, her face changing color.
"Who told him to overestimate himself and mess with me?"
"What exactly did you do to him?!"
"It's nothing..." Chu Gexing smiled, the pale night light highlighting his unparalleled elegance. He blinked his long eyelashes. "Don't be afraid. Go back and tell that kid not to use his internal energy to suppress it. My internal energy has entered his body, and the more you suppress it, the more painful it will be. But given that kid's temper, he's endured it until now, hehe... he's suffered quite a bit, hasn't he... Hmm, when your master wakes up tomorrow, say a few nice words to me, and I'll relieve him of it all, how about that?"
"Are you trying to use Xiao Di to blackmail our young master?" Mo Hua clenched her fists.
"Hmm." Chu Gexing said bluntly, "But it's not blackmail. It's a matter of mutual consent. Also, I sincerely advise you—never fight with me. You can't beat me. If I accidentally hurt you again, your young master will be 'blackmailed' by me again, hahaha."
As he spoke, he tilted his head back and laughed twice, then picked up Tang Leyan and strode forward.
Chapter Forty-Two: His Heart
Chu Gexing had done the princess carry before.
In fact, most of the time he doesn't have to work hard; people will naturally throw themselves at him.
Every time, I held her securely, the warm jade in my arms exuding fragrance.
I just don't know why, but this person is different.
He only made his move when she was completely defenseless.
From the first time, the second time, to this time, he remembered every single one clearly. It was only after she collapsed that he could hold her completely in his arms, with a hint of unease in his heart. Was he afraid she would wake up? Was he afraid she would attack him? He didn't know. In short, this feeling was very strange. There was a hint of smugness like stealing someone else's thing, and even more so, a hint of smugness like taking advantage of someone else. Of course, the feeling of insecurity that would disappear with each passing moment was also indispensable.
Chu Gexing has always been a person who is true to his own feelings and desires.
Hug me if you want, step on me if you want, do what you want.
Just like tonight, he was patrolling outside the imperial city, just as Tang Leyan had expected, when he heard the news that she had entered the palace, and for some reason, he felt a surge of anger.
Thinking of the way she looked at the emperor in the court, and recalling the news that she had stopped the emperor from choosing a concubine, he sneered coldly in the beautiful night.
The timing was perfect; he had been hiding in the dark listening for a long time before appearing.
He guessed she was about to fall asleep, and then he felt a surge of anger: That bastard, she doesn't care about her health at all. If he hadn't come, would she have been sleeping in this palace?
Hmph, don't even think about it.
When I reached out to hug her, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
But once you've made up your mind, you feel a strange sense of wanting to never let go.
After forcing the maid away and returning to the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion with his men, he was torn between anxiety and determination.
He dismissed all the maids and servants around him and led them back to his bedroom.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he still looked intently at the person in his arms.
She was like a legendary beauty who had fallen into a deep sleep under a spell.
Tang Leyan slept soundly.
Chu Gexing smiled softly.
Is it really stable? That's probably just an illusion.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the rumors that the newly crowned martial arts champion had spent the night at the Grand Councilor's residence, and the dark circles under the Grand Councilor's eyes from "staying up all night."
Chu Zhen, who is usually calm and composed, has stayed up all night many times before, so why is he acting so strangely just that one night?
Even though I know how bad the person in my arms is, and even though I know the truth is that she must have hit someone, the rumor still makes me feel uncomfortable.
What nonsense! "The Grand Secretary of the Military Commission and the newly appointed martial arts champion hit it off immediately and couldn't bear to part!"
In any case, he knew him first.
No matter what, he was her one and only senior brother.
In any case, the only person in the world who could oppress her was Chu Gexing!
Chu Gexing stared at the face that was so familiar yet so strange. The beautiful face held a strange, ambiguous smile.
※※※※※
When your thoughts become confused, apply slight pressure to your hand.
Before they could even realize something was wrong, the person sleeping in their arms had already made their move.
Chu Gexing smiled bitterly and sighed, but his hands moved like the wind.
He could fully imagine how shocked and angry Chu Zhen was when he was suddenly attacked like this. Because of this imagination, the bitter smile on the face of the Nine Gates Admiral turned into a genuine smile.
Laughing while parrying this automatically attacking guy is quite a strange experience.
Chu Gexing laughed, knowing she couldn't hear him, but still said, "You can't beat me when you're awake, and you can't beat me when you're asleep, so don't waste your breath."
Dodging her punch aimed at his face, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She kicked out, and he instinctively twisted her hand. After a slight hesitation, he grabbed her other arm, tied it behind her back, and pressed her down onto the bed.
She was then unable to struggle.
Chu Gexing lowered his eyes: "You'd better behave yourself, or else..."
He was still thinking to himself: why didn't I break her arm when I grabbed her wrist?
That was the original plan.
But he hesitated for a moment and then changed his actions.
This subtle change made him wary and displeased.
The large hand gripping her wrist tightened slightly, causing her small mouth to open slightly and her brows to furrow, as if she felt pain even in her sleep.
He then felt a sense of satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his lips.
What was pressing down on her felt like a hot potato, a formidable hedgehog; if she let go or left, she would immediately lash out.
He had no choice but to remain in the same position, pressing down on her without moving.
“This appearance…” he began softly. His eyes darted around, and he thought of something impure.
She gently bit her lip, her tongue lightly brushing over it, as if eager to savor it.
He had never tasted her flavor before.
Otherwise... well...
She doesn't look bad.
And at this moment, there's nothing else to do but idle around.
With thoughts racing through his mind, Chu Gexing slowly lowered his head, moving closer and closer to those slightly parted lips.
She shifted uncomfortably.
Make him pause for a moment, stiffen instantly.
Her eyes were closed; she was clearly still asleep.
As if laughing at himself for being overly anxious and alarmed, he became fierce, pressing down on her body even harder as he exerted force on his hands.
"Ugh..." Even in his dream, the person beneath him couldn't help but groan softly.
"Even if I do something to you now, you won't know when you wake up tomorrow, right?"
I don't know if I'm asking myself or her.
He was saying it with a smile, and the situation was clearly in his favor, but a sudden sadness crept into his heart.
Yes, even if you do something to her while she's asleep, she won't know when she wakes up tomorrow.
She uttered a sob, because of the pain.
Chu Gexing looked at the small face so close to his own and slowly let go.
He was prepared for her to throw another punch and charge at him, and he was ready to either immobilize her pressure points or break her arm. Which method he used depended on his mood.
