Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Improper Thoughts Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Improper Thoughts Xiao Jinyan was also a man in the prime of youth, with a woman sitting in his arms, he couldn’t remain unaffected.

Especially since Shen Chuwei had just bathed, the faint scent of peach blossom on her body was an immense temptation that wrapped around his nose.

“If you keep this up, I will get angry,” he said.

Shen Chuwei’s muddled mind didn’t comprehend the meaning behind Xiao Jinyan’s words, as she was feeling quite dizzy at the moment.

She licked her lips, feeling parched, and kissed Xiao Jinyan’s lips, the cool contact was extremely good and eased some of the heat.

Xiao Jinyan was stunned, as this kiss was on his lips compared to the previous two that landed on his cheek.

The soft touch, the strange feeling, prevented Xiao Jinyan from reacting in time.

Shen Chuwei’s kisses, lacking any technique, were fatally attractive.

Xiao Jinyan felt a bit parched himself, looking at the girl in front of him who was not lightly drunk, “Little Nine, did you drink courageously just to serve in bed?”

The previous two times were reminders of wanting to serve in bed, which he didn’t agree to, so she thought of drinking courageously to seduce him?

This was the only possibility Xiao Jinyan could think of.

But the drunken Shen Chuwei couldn’t give him an accurate answer.

However, her unskilled kisses were the answer for Xiao Jinyan.

“Do you really want to serve in bed that much?”

Without getting an answer, Xiao Jinyan scooped Shen Chuwei into his arms and turned to lay her flat on the bed, looking down at the tipsy person, he still hesitated.

He didn’t want to have her just because of a moment’s temptation.

Undeniably, Shen Chuwei was the woman in the East Palace who pleased him the most.

Xiao Jinyan pressed his lips together, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, looking at the person beneath him, anyone would be moved.

He was but an ordinary man, albeit a little different from most.

“Little Nine…”

Shen Chuwei kissed him again, silencing the words he hadn’t finished.

Xiao Jinyan had never faced such an uncontrollable situation, his reason being chipped away bit by bit by the drunken Shen Chuwei, ultimately shattered.

At that moment, Shen Chuwei seemed like a little demon who wore down others.

But the normally restless girl suddenly became quiet.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei with closed eyes, obviously asleep, her nose moist, her cheeks flushed, her breathing gradually becoming more even.

“Is she…

asleep?”

Xiao Jinyan stood up somewhat awkwardly, looking at the sleeping girl, he had almost lost control.

He wasn’t feeling great at the moment, shedding his clothes as he walked behind the screen.

By the time Xiao Jinyan came out from his bath, the girl in the bed was deep asleep, oblivious to the present time.

He slipped under the covers and just as he lay down, Shen Chuwei clung to him, gripping his arm tightly.

The next day when Shen Chuwei woke up, she had a bit of a headache, she opened her eyes to find no one beside her.

Last night, she only remembered Xiao Jinyan coming over.

But as for what happened afterwards, she remembered nothing.

She was drunk last night, Xiao Jinyan must have been angry, right?

When Chun Xi came in to attend to her dressing and washing, Shen Chuwei asked, “Chun Xi, when did His Highness leave?”

Chun Xi replied, “He left at the hour of Mao.”

Shen Chuwei then inquired, “Was he angry when he left?

What did his face look like?

Was it ugly?”

“There were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he didn’t sleep well,” Chun Xi snickered, “My lady, did you keep him up very late last night?”

Shen Chuwei blushed, she had blacked out from drinking last night and had no idea how she managed to upset Xiao Jinyan, did she go too far?

“I was asleep, how would I know?”

Chun Xi covered her face, bashfully speaking, “His Highness is amazing.”

Shen Chuwei: “…” this child’s thoughts have strayed again…

Shen Chuwei spent the whole day in unease.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Jinyan arrived late.

Shen Chuwei was extremely nervous, and during dinner, she didn’t dare lift her head to look at Xiao Jinyan, merely focusing on her meal.

Xiao Jinyan also noticed that Shen Chuwei’s behavior was a bit odd, thinking she was shy because of what happened last night, he didn’t expose her in public.

Not until after dinner, when only the two of them remained inside, did Xiao Jinyan speak.

“Little Nine, do you remember what happened last night?”

Shen Chuwei looked down at her toes, like a child who had done something wrong, “Your Highness, this concubine drank too much last night and forgot what inappropriate actions I may have done, displaying impropriety, I hope Your Highness is not angry.”

It’s fine to be angry, just ignore me, that would be okay ~

Looking at her like this, devoid of last night’s boldness, Xiao Jinyan hummed, “You were too bold last night, how can I not be angry?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei felt a bit gleeful inside, it seemed that her drunken misbehavior last night really did irritate Xiao Jinyan, judging by his tone, although she was drunk last night, she managed to maintain a good measure of propriety.

“Then what does Your Highness suggest we do?” She fiddled with a small handkerchief, calculating in her mind, Xiao Jinyan probably wouldn’t come to Xiyun Pavilion for ten days or half a month, allowing her to be lazy for half a month without having to practice calligraphy, perfect!

Seeing Shen Chuwei scared like this, wondering how she would react if she knew about last night’s daring actions, Xiao Jinyan said,

“Come here.”

Shen Chuwei shuffled over to Xiao Jinyan, her eyes downcast as she waited for instruction.

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a while, then chuckled lightly, “Weren’t you very brave last night?”

Even if Shen Chuwei couldn’t remember what she had done the night before, with Xiao Jinyan’s words, she guessed she must have done something to shock Xiao Jinyan.

“Your Highness, I don’t remember anything about last night because the alcohol blacked me out,” she confessed.

Xiao Jinyan asked, “Really don’t remember?”

Shen Chuwei shook her head.

Xiao Jinyan looked into those innocent eyes, it didn’t seem like a lie, so he believed her.

Shen Chuwei waited for a while, realizing that the situation was developing differently from what she had imagined.

Shouldn’t Xiao Jinyan be lecturing her angrily and then leaving?

Not only did Xiao Jinyan not leave, he ordered someone to prepare hot water.

Was he planning to stay the night?

Until they both lay in bed, Shen Chuwei still hadn’t understood why Xiao Jinyan wasn’t angry.

Was it because she hadn’t been disrespectful enough last night?

Xiao Jinyan said, “Tomorrow morning, accompany me to pay respects to the Empress.”

“Understood, Your Highness,” Shen Chuwei now concluded that Xiao Jinyan wasn’t angry, her efforts had been in vain.

Watching Shen Chuwei keep her distance, Xiao Jinyan said indifferently, “Come closer.”

“Oh,” Shen Chuwei moved closer to his side, the bed was only so big, they weren’t far apart to start with, and with this little shift, they were next to each other.

She didn’t dare to get too close.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her clutching the corner of the blanket, a different image altogether from when she was asleep.

“Why are you nervous?

Am I that frightening?” he asked.

Shen Chuwei shook her head, “You’re not scary, Your Highness.”

Xiao Jinyan obviously didn’t believe her.

Still saying you’re not scared?

If not scared, did she need to get drunk last night to gather the courage, all for the purpose of wanting to serve in bed?

“I permit you to have improper thoughts,” he said.
