Chapter 750: Chapter 750: The Feeling of the Emperor Selecting a Consort
I no longer love you.
Yun Xuefei’s mouth opened, she thought she could easily utter these words, but why did her heart feel as if it were being tugged at, aching in threads and strands, rendering her unable to speak.
Huo Yanzhao heard his own heart beating violently; he was so afraid that she would ultimately say those words.
Yet, as her silence and tension stretched on, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew deeper.
“Xuefei, you still love me,” he stated with absolute certainty.
“I…” Yun Xuefei wanted to object, but suddenly, the world spun around her, and she was already being scooped up into his arms and carried to the bed in just a few steps.
When she sank into the mattress, she was still a bit dazed, but as soon as the man’s kiss landed on her cheek, she instinctively began to struggle. Discover more novels at novel-fire.net
“Huo Yanzhao, Yanzhao…” Her voice took on a pleading tone, tinged with fear.
She didn’t know what she was afraid of—perhaps afraid that a moment of weakness would once again lead to an inextricable entanglement between the two.
Just when she thought this man had finally given up on her completely, he suddenly returned out of the blue… leaving her almost in a panic.
She tried to drive him away with a bad attitude, but deep down she knew that it wasn’t because she loathed him, but because she was afraid, afraid that she would compromise and sink too easily.
But Huo Yanzhao skillfully pinned down her body, his searing kisses landing on her face, eyes, lips, and neck… Even after many years had passed, he still knew her weak spots all too well.
“Feifei…” He murmured while kissing her, using the nickname he’d had for her during their passionate times in the past.
Yun Xuefei’s mind buzzed as if a nerve had snapped…
After He Jingyao had put Xiaobao to sleep, he naturally made his way to Zhixi’s room.
Zhixi had just finished bathing and was sitting on the bed in a robe, revealing her long legs due to the warmth in the room, a sight that ignited a fire in He Jingyao’s heart.
The woman was swiping left and right on a tablet, her expression somewhat somber.
He instantly felt displeased, walked over, and snatched the tablet from her hands: “Didn’t I tell you not to look at electronic devices? Not obedient again.”
She raised her head to look at him timidly, her expression a bit odd.
He Jingyao narrowed his eyes, suddenly realizing something, and turned the tablet over. Immediately, his gaze fixated.
The screen displayed a photo of a young man with accompanying text detailing his basic information. He Jingyao swiped, and another man’s profile appeared.
“…This, my father sent it to me,” she said with an awkward smile. “I was just curious…”
He Jingyao set the tablet aside, his expression seeming calm.
But his already deep eyes became more inscrutable, causing Zhixi to tremble with fear.
“Let’s not look at this anymore… Let’s go to sleep,” she said appeasingly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He Jingyao embraced her, lifted her chin with a faint smile: “Not bad, does it feel like how an Emperor would choose his concubines, hmm?”
Zhixi blushed with shame: “I was wrong, I was just curious… I’m not going to meet any of these people!”
He Jingyao cast his eyes down at her, gently pulled her by the waist, and she involuntarily fell onto the bed.
“Su Zixi, you must be lonely, hmm?” He held her wrists and laughed softly, “Even though you’re pregnant now, I still know how to satisfy you.”
