Her delicate, porcelain-like skin truly aroused a strong desire to possess her.
However, she disagreed.
"Wife, don’t think of escaping."
He breathed in her scent intoxicatingly deep.
"If you don’t want me to force myself on you, then stay obediently by my side."
With that said, he kissed the same spot again and then gently nibbled at it.
So fragrant, he really wanted to devour her.
The man’s affectionate actions alerted Xia Weibao to the danger, and her body tensed up.
She didn’t dare move, fearing she would provoke him.
In her past life, she had experienced such situations too many times; men in these moments were the most dangerous.
If Lu Hualiang really forced himself on her, she wouldn’t be able to escape his grasp.
Every sensation in her body was concentrated on the spot he was nibbling.
Warm, hot, and somewhat bewitching.
And a little painful.
It must have been bitten red.
Fortunately, the location was covered by clothes, otherwise, with such marks on her body, she didn’t know how she would face people tomorrow.
"You just rely on the fact that I like you, and so you recklessly wear away my patience, don’t you?"
Xia Weibao’s heart tightened, but she said nothing.
His words left her feeling guilty and ashamed.
She didn’t know how long he wanted to kiss her, completely unwilling to move.
Her nerves were very tense.
However, after a while, she suddenly felt her eyelids becoming heavy.
She started to feel drowsy.
Her body shook violently, "What is this smell!"
She hadn’t noticed, due to Lu Hualiang’s distraction, that the air was filled with a faint knockout drug!
Every hair on her body stood on end as she tensely tried to get up, only to be pressed back down by Lu Hualiang.
"Don’t be nervous, I lit some sleep-inducing incense to help you sleep better."
Xia Weibao still couldn’t relax.
In her past life, whether traversing the Jianghu or witnessing the strife within the Imperial Harem, her alertness was always extremely high.
Being unconscious was a major taboo!
Aside from being by the Dog Emperor’s side, she never allowed herself to lose consciousness.
"Go to sleep, I’m here with you."
The man’s gentle words from behind inexplicably brought comfort.
Xia Weibao’s taut nerves gradually relaxed, and soon she fell asleep.
After her breathing became even, Lu Hualiang flipped her body over.
By the moonlight, he could see her face.
The soft moonbeams spilled over her face as if bestowing her with a layer of light.
She was tranquil like an orchid gently tempered by time.
Just looking at her face filled him with immense satisfaction.
Lu Hualiang’s lips curled up slightly, and suddenly he kissed her lips.
With the effect of the sleep-inducing incense, Xia Weibao slept exceptionally well, all through the night.
The morning sunlight, slightly intoxicating, streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows illuminating the intertwined figures of the man and woman on the bed.
Xia Weibao opened her bleary eyes, and what met her sight was Lu Hualiang’s enlarged face.
Her lips curved into a smile, and her eyes turned into crescents.
She stretched out her hand playfully to touch his nose.
But just as she was about to make contact, her smile stiffened.
She almost forgot, this was Lu Hualiang, not her Dog Emperor.
Her heart suddenly lurched with pain, sour and astringent.
Waking up in the morning had been blissful a thousand years ago.
But now, it brought heartache.
With a touch of sadness, she withdrew her hand, observing his face up close.
They really looked so alike.
How could there be someone so similar in this world, and in two different eras no less?
Even the length of the eyelashes and the curve of their arc were exactly the same.
The Dog Emperor’s eyelashes were long and curled, even more beautiful than a woman’s.
When she used to wake up early, she loved to tease his eyelashes.
