I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 52

The tone was unusually intimate. His heart stirred upon hearing it, but then he thought: How absurd! He's just a mere guard; why should I be controlled by him? I have no choice in the matter.

"Leyan, move aside." He turned his head, his usual calm expression returning.

“I didn’t stop you,” she replied playfully, leaning forward and getting closer to him. Her darting eyes scanned him from head to toe, making him shudder and his throat go dry.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"My lord..." She stopped mid-sentence. Her arm finally moved, slowly retracting from his chest and closing up. During the process, her soft little hand gently pressed against his chest, as if testing his heartbeat.

Then she withdrew her hand, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly, as if she had seen something amusing.

They were clearly free; they could get up and leave.

Chu Zhen was stunned for a moment.

How can it be so changeable?

The person before me, at first glance, appeared gentle and polite, but when she attacked, she showed no mercy, defeating Ge Xun in just a few rounds, leaving him utterly defeated and routed. Later, rumors spread that she had dined and dashed, and on the day of her audience with the emperor, she appeared lazy and was late. However, after being reprimanded by Ge Xing, despite being injured, she remained composed and cheerful. I initially thought she was no ordinary person, so I secretly ordered ninjas to investigate her, but to my surprise, I couldn't find any information about her. And today…

She stepped forward to protect him, and after being injured, she transformed into a demon, revealing yet another side of herself.

But now, she's like a little child, yes, yes, she seems to still be a... girl.

His heart skipped a beat, his eyes gleamed, and he looked down at her neck.

That skin, as white as jade, really didn't look like a boy's.

The military advisor kept scrutinizing him, never imagining that when he met his destined one when he was fifteen or sixteen, she had praised him as gentle and refined, serene and calm, handsome beyond his years. And that "gentle" part—of course—refered to his good temper. He thought, if he had a bad temper, he would transform into a devil. Yes, he had almost killed Xue Xin back then! Hahaha, those youthful, naive days had almost made him forget that he too had once been so reckless, carefree, and domineering.

And those who don't resemble boys are not just the people in front of us.

Another perfect example, more like a woman than a woman, is... Chu Ge Xing.

Chu Zhen frowned.

Tang Leyan looked at the person next to her and saw his eyes staring intently at her collar.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself.

She turned her hand back, her fingers pressing against the edge of her collar, and said coquettishly, "My lord, where are you looking? Oh dear, this humble official is so shy!"

Chu Zhen was taken aback, then felt extremely embarrassed.

Realizing that her gaze had betrayed her thoughts, she felt both annoyed and embarrassed, but also a surge of anger.

Forcing himself to calm down, Chu Zhen asked, "Le Yan, tell me honestly, are you a man or a woman?"

She didn't answer.

Her dark, bright eyes kept staring at his face.

His heart skipped a beat as he watched.

Those eyes seemed to possess a magical power.

Is this person his destined nemesis?

A slight jolt went through him, yet he stubbornly awaited her answer.

But as if testing his patience, she only smiled and did not answer.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll assume you’re a girl,” he said seriously.

"My lord..." she suddenly reached out, covering half her face with her red sleeve, and said shyly, "My lord and I are lying in the same bed, yet you suddenly brought up this question. I wonder... what my lord intends to do to me..."

Chu Zhen was taken aback.

Then a chill ran down my spine.

Goosebumps popped up all over my body; it was absolutely terrifying.

He was direct.

She was more direct than him.

And it was so direct... outrageous!

"Nonsense!" he shouted angrily.

Then he realized he was lying in bed, and in that position, saying such "righteous and awe-inspiring" words seemed a bit lacking in confidence.

The person next to him seemed to have caught him off guard, and covered her face with her red sleeves, becoming even more "charming and alluring".

Her eyes sparkled, her gaze alluring.

She's not very old, but she's quite adept at doing this kind of thing.

However, since he wasn't an expert, his "flirting glances" weren't quite up to par.

Although Chu Zhen had never eaten pork, he had seen plenty of pigs running.

The women sent from the Empress Dowager's palace were all incredibly charming, and when it came to seducing him, they could truly be described as having "seductive eyes."

He's seen it before.

I'm even more tired of watching it.

And every time I see them, I feel like kicking those poor women away.

But this "sleeping pig" is different.

She did a very poor job.

Even naive.

But it was precisely this naiveté that prevented him from decisively kicking her away.

Whether she is male or female.

She was lying right next to him, ready to pounce on him at any moment if she wanted to.

He was startled.

He immediately pressed one hand against the bed and sat up.

He was about to reach out and get out of bed when the person who was pretending to be "shy" suddenly moved.

*****************************************************

She reached out and blocked his chest again, pressing his body down onto the bed. He frowned and reached out to block, but she laughed, stepped forward with her right leg to press down on his legs, pressed his left hand with her right hand, and pressed his right hand down with her left hand.

It was as if someone had neatly strapped him to the bed; Chu Zhen couldn't move at all.

"Hey! Let me go!" he shouted authoritatively.

"It's late, don't make a sound." She leaned down to look at him and said with a smile.

Martial arts were not his forte to begin with, and his opponent was no ordinary master. Chu Zhen glared angrily at the smiling man and asked, "What do you want?"

"I want to sleep," she said innocently, blinking her eyes.

"open!"

"If you let go, you'll run away."

"This Grand Secretary will not run away!"

"You were trying to run away just now..."

"I want to leave."

"Same as above."

"no the same."

"Same."

"no the same."

"Same."

...

In the end, it was he who gave in.

Chu Zhen sighed: "Fine, whatever."

"Really, it's up to me?" she asked.

She seemed to be getting more and more energetic, and he wondered, "Aren't you sleepy anymore?"

"It's all your fault," she snorted.

"Is it all my fault?" he asked.

"If you don't sleep, I won't be able to sleep either." She yawned.

"I didn't mean to stop you from sleeping." He turned his head away, avoiding her coquettish gesture.

"Then listen to me and sleep here obediently, okay?" she said persistently.

"Fine, I'm scared of you." He sneered.

"It's not like you haven't slept with them before, what are you shy about?" she laughed.

He still blushed at those words.

He couldn't help but think that if he could go back ten years and hear these words, he would probably drag the people around him out and beat them to death immediately.

However... I didn't meet her back then.

ha……

Things in this world are always so strange and full of unexpected twists and turns.

Who did he meet during the prime of his life?

Thinking this way, after a pang of sadness, my anger and resentment suddenly subsided a lot.

“Okay, then I’ll sleep, and you’ll sleep too, but you can’t hit anyone.” He turned to look at her and said.

Tang Leyan was startled when she saw the sudden coldness on the face of the person beside her.

“Okay,” she replied. Although she didn't know the various thoughts that had crossed Chu Zhen's mind in that brief moment, she knew he must have thought of something, which explained his rapid emotional shift. Besides, the little bit of clarity she had forcibly maintained through her internal energy wouldn't last much longer; she had to keep watching him…

sleep.

She slowly withdrew her hands and feet.
