Her plight took a turn for the worst when she realized that the man's eyelids were still shut and his steady heartbeat didn't accelerate in the least. The long lashes complimenting his face gently fluttered like folding fans against the wind.
'He's actually dreaming?!' Li Meirong thought incredulously. This man's arms could crush her to death while he's asleep!
However, the woman's stress instantly turned into embarrassment when she realized that with her new position, she actually ended up straddling Zhu Qingyue!
"Eek!" Li Meirong's face grew flush and she yelped as she suddenly felt a sharp object jabbing the sensitive spot between her legs.
"Oh god, please don't wake up now…" She murmured nervously and tried to push herself away again, yet this time, it was from straddling his bulging member.
'If he woke up now, wouldn't he think I'm a big pervert, attacking him in his sleep?!'
But alas, Li Meirong's efforts were to no avail. Like being caught in quicksand, she kept struggling to escape, and Zhu Qingyue kept pressing her harder against him. She felt him growing bigger still underneath her, grinding against her core.
Li Meirong wanted to cry out her helplessness but was too ashamed of the possibility that Zhu Qingyue would find her on top of him in this awkward position.
With a final act of desperation, she tilted her head towards Snowball, silently pleading with her eyes, begging him to help her get away. But the Fox Spirit simply shook his head in disapproval. He huffed in disbelief as though surprised that she would even dare to ask him such a thing.
'I want to stay alive, thank you very much!' Bai Yu thought, leaving Her Ladyship's fate to her own. Should he dare to involve himself with His Lordship's underhanded methods, surely, he would suffer a terrible retaliation.
He covered his muzzle with both paws. 'Out of sight, out of mind.'
Li Meirong bit her lower lip, stifling herself from yelling at her treacherous fox! 'Aren't you supposed to help me in my time of need?!'
Her luck just wasn't very good that day. The stars were definitely not aligned for her. The frail woman's shoulders trembled as she turned back to the man underneath her, finding him now wide awake, his gaze fixated upon her.
Her almond eyes locked with his, and she felt momentarily entranced by the sheer intensity of his stare.
Those eyes... so bright. Startling, scorching.
"Do not move." He growled out dangerously.
