I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 53

He got up, took off his boots, thought for a moment, and seeing her standing there in a daze, a hint of confusion on her small face, he couldn't help but sigh.

He took her feet, which were dangling by the bedside, and gently removed her boots.

Tang Leyan trembled all over.

I was wondering what he had thought of that made him suddenly so calm.

Seeing that he seemed to be willing to compromise, I didn't want to argue with him any further.

As he got up, took off his boots, and placed them by the bedside, his waist, cinched by the jade belt, swayed slightly before my eyes.

And this person's profile...

From her perspective, it carried a cool gentleness.

What kind of person is he?

Is he hiding his true abilities, or is he all bark and no bite?

She was really unlucky; she just wanted to find a place to stay, but instead, she encountered an assassin.

Fortunately, it was a close call.

He had seen her go crazy before, yet he wasn't afraid.

His tender expression and the way he held her tightly, showing concern and worry, shocked her.

At this time.

He paused slightly after taking off his boots.

He turned his hand and lifted one of her feet, which were resting on the edge of the bed.

Before she could react, he had already reached out and taken off her boots.

Her legs instinctively twitched.

His hand paused for a moment, then he grabbed her other foot, slowly removed the boot, and placed both feet on the edge of the bed.

Because of her small reaction, he, who was originally calm and composed, couldn't help but show an unusual expression.

He turned around, his back to her, and said, "I'm going to sleep."

He lay down on the outside, carefully avoiding her feet.

She pulled her legs back and curled up inside the bed.

Looking at him beside the bed.

He wasn't fat, nor was he the bulky type.

Lying before me, I felt an urge to pity her.

Slowly lay down beside him, trying to keep a safe distance from him.

She didn't care, but she was afraid he would.

After thinking for a moment, I realized I was a little cold, so I reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover him as well.

He didn't refuse, and quietly lay on his side.

She thought for a moment, then reached out and placed her hand on his waist.

Sure enough, the man suddenly shuddered.

She chuckled softly and turned his body around.

He kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he were enduring something.

"If you're not used to sleeping like this, just pretend I'm not here," she whispered.

He didn't answer or open his eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the face that was slowly becoming familiar with her and felt a sense of peace.

Put your hands together and place them beside your pillow.

She pressed her face against it, watching the person beside her whose breathing had gradually calmed down. This time... he must really be asleep.

She stared at it for a long time with wide eyes.

During this time, the person forcibly oscillated between unconsciousness and wakefulness for a long time.

Finally, she called softly, "Your Excellency?" Her voice was as faint as a kitten's.

The man did not answer, nor did he move at all.

"Lord Chu..." she called again.

He didn't even flinch.

"Ah Zhen..." she whispered, leaning forward slightly.

There was still no response.

"Uncle Zhen?" he called out with a smile, like a cat that had just stolen some fish.

The person in front of me was breathing normally, without any signs of shortness of breath or anything unusual.

Undeterred, she leaned closer, almost touching his face, and said, "I...I...want to kiss you..."

If he was pretending to be asleep, given the usually steadfast and unwavering character of the Military Advisor, he would probably be terrified and jump up and run away.

But he still didn't move.

It's clear that she really fell asleep.

Tang Leyan gazed at the sleeping face before her.

His handsome face was as beautiful as jade.

Unsure of what was stirring within her, she quietly stepped forward, and before her mind could even process it, her cherry-like lips gently touched his cheek.

"Pop..." An extremely faint sound.

The temperature that came from my lips was a little cool and a little warm.

It has a very peculiar feel.

She was suddenly filled with joy, yet at the same time, she was also filled with shyness.

Good heavens, what is she doing?

Is it really true that there's no cure for lust, and people will sleep with any man they see?

No, no...

Even though she was under the spell of Siqing, she didn't have this... desire to get close to Chu Gexing.

But the other party just happens to be so clueless about romance.

He lay there, as if he had been asleep for ten thousand years.

She was a little annoyed and reached out to wake him.

Suddenly, he withdrew his hand in fear.

What on earth are you doing, Tang Leyan?

Are you crazy?

He's your real uncle.

It's not acceptable, neither emotionally nor logically.

If the Empress were to find out about this, she would probably be scared to death.

If Father knew...

She shuddered.

Subconsciously, I shrank back until I was on the inside of the bed, against the wall with nowhere left to retreat.

Oh my god.

We must not act rashly.

You can't make mistakes.

She withdrew her finger and bit it between her teeth.

Blink.

It was the first time I watched him sleep.

She inexplicably wanted to see it with her own eyes to put her mind at ease, and now, she is finally at ease.

That's all.

It was only confirmed that he was not the suspect who stole the "Book of Freedom" and that he had not practiced that kind of evil martial art.

That's fine.

And everything else, about everything that stirs and ripples in my heart tonight.

She should...

It should be as if none of it exists, as if none of it ever happened.

She smiled slightly and glanced at the person next to her one last time.

With a flick of her red sleeve, Tang Leyan unleashed a burst of energy that extinguished the red candles on the table.

She closed her eyes, and the overwhelming drowsiness that she had been trying to suppress seemed to rush forth, and she quickly sank into a sweet dream.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Piercing to the Bone

Chu Zhen was awakened in the middle of the night by a sensation like a kitten wriggling beside her.

For more than a decade, he has always slept alone.

I woke up in shock and clearly felt a soft touch beside me. I wondered what was so audacious.

My instinct was to reach out and push him away, but thankfully I managed to restrain myself.

It wasn't until he realized what was happening that he remembered: tonight, he wasn't alone.
