Free Web NovelChapter 55: Chapter 53: What Are You Afraid Of, I Won’t Bite
Yue Ying cupped her face, forcing her to look at him, not allowing her to look away in the slightest.
His heart ached for her a little as he asked, "Did I frighten you today, wife?"
He had originally planned to let things happen naturally. After all, he was confident that few Females could resist a Beastman like him if he were to genuinely pursue them.
But he had discovered that Su Mo was different from other Females.
She looked ordinary, and those who didn’t know her well might even think she was often dazed and confused, but she always had her own thoughts deep down.
Once she made up her mind about something, it was very difficult to change it.
For example, she had long ago decided that they were all villains and was repulsed by the idea of spending the rest of her life with them.
She might say she liked handsome men with chiseled abs, but those were just words.
If one truly wanted to win her heart, a pretty face and a few muscles would never be enough.
She didn’t seem to reject anything beautiful, but among all the things she "liked," there was never any genuine affection.
It was precisely because he saw through her that he had impulsively said those things to her tonight.
She was not from this world, and her guard against it was always up. As a member of the Fox Clan, Yue Ying understood this mentality all too well.
’It’s alright. This time, I’ll be the first to show my true heart.’
Su Mo’s stunned and flustered gaze met Yue Ying’s as his fervent, sincere eyes stared into hers.
Su Mo instinctively tried to look away again.
But he forcefully turned her face back to his. "Don’t you dare hide. If you do, I’ll kiss you!"
Su Mo’s breath hitched, and she subconsciously pressed her lips together.
"If you’re going to like someone else in the future, wife, could you try liking Yue Ying first?"
His tone held a hint of pleading. "Am I not handsome enough? Or am I not capable enough? Just tell me, and I will do my best to be better. Why can’t there be a place for me by your side?"
"Let Yue Ying be a tool by your side, something to amuse you and relieve your boredom. When you have free time and you think of me, you can spare me a glance. If you don’t want to be bothered, I’ll stay far away and never annoy you in the slightest. How does that sound?"
Su Mo’s mind was a complete blank. Her heart was pounding so fast it felt like it would burst from her chest.
’I’ve... I’ve lived this long, and this is the first time anyone’s ever confessed to me so formally...’
’I’ve been single since birth. Other than my experience reading trashy romance novels, I have no experience whatsoever...’
As a result, her brain had completely short-circuited.
’To be honest, this damn fox’s own qualities are top-notch. In my past life, I wouldn’t have even dared to dream of finding someone like him...’
’But he’s a villain... I...’
The fox’s eyes narrowed. ’Distracted again! All day long, it’s "villain, villain." Does she think she can just slap that label on me and cast me aside?’
’She can forget about it!’
He lowered his head and kissed her once more.
Su Mo’s eyes widened in surprise. "You!"
He placed a finger over her lips, stopping the words she was about to say. He smiled, his eyes crinkling. "It’s just a kiss. I don’t need you to take responsibility for it~"
Then, before Su Mo’s astonished eyes, he held up two fingers. "I swear that for the rest of my life, I will obey my wife’s every command! If I violate this oath, may I be struck down by lightning!"
Su Mo: "..."
Yue Ying looked at her stunned expression and said with a sly smile, "So, do you want to sleep with me now, wife? We can sleep together first and cultivate our feelings later. It’s all the same~"
"!!!"
’He really does just want to use me as a—’
Yue Ying gritted his teeth. ’So I poured my heart out for ages, and she didn’t hear a single word? Am I just talking to a brick wall?!’
He was absolutely furious!
’I can’t let her off easy this time!’
He reached out, turned her face toward him, and kissed her fiercely again.
This was nothing like the gentleness from before. This time, his movements were savage, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
With nowhere to hide, Su Mo swung her fists, which landed on his shoulders.
But to Yue Ying, her blows were no more than a tickle, only serving to excite him even more.
A second before she was completely deprived of oxygen, his lips roamed elsewhere.
What little rationality he had left told him he should stop.
After all, she hadn’t officially accepted him yet. If he continued, he risked her resentment. frёeωebɳovel.com
But his body’s instincts screamed with a desire for more. Especially after so brazenly confessing his feelings to her, that thread of reason was as fragile as a spider’s web.
With the slightest touch, it would disintegrate into dust.
This was a Beastman’s instinct... and also the desperate longing from the depths of his heart.
"Wife..." Yue Ying gasped, leaning close to her ear and speaking in broken phrases. "Get me... the medicine... inside my outer robe..."
Su Mo struggled, trying to get his outer robe, but the hands around her waist tightened uncontrollably.
Instinctively, Yue Ying didn’t want her to leave his side for even a moment.
He asked, almost humbly, "Really... can’t I?"
Su Mo froze, not yet able to process his words.
Outside, there was a loud BANG.
The door was kicked open from the outside.
It was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by Fei Yan’s anxious and worried voice. "Wife, are you in there?"
Yue Ying’s rationality returned for a moment. He quickly pulled over a nearby animal-hide blanket, wrapping both himself and the person beneath him up tightly.
The next second, the candles in the room were lit.
Fei Yan immediately saw the intimate scene on the bed, and his feet froze in place.
For a moment, it was as if he had stopped breathing.
A sharp pain inexplicably pierced his heart, and the hand hanging at his side clenched uncontrollably.
Cang Lan, who was behind him, was also taken aback. A flash of unavoidable jealousy crossed his dark eyes.
Su Mo’s face flushed with shame, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She felt an inexplicable sense of shame, like being caught red-handed doing something wrong...
She subconsciously buried her head in Yue Ying’s chest, which caused the man on top of her to let out a muffled, uncontrollable groan.
The hand hanging at Fei Yan’s side clenched even tighter.
But he forced himself to speak calmly. "My apologies. I called out several times from outside, but there was no answer. I thought something had happened to you, wife, so I... They’ve captured the person who was in contact with the North Wing Black Market. The Dragon Clan sent me to come and get you to join the interrogation."
Her small head buried in Yue Ying’s embrace, Su Mo stammered, "I... I’ll be right there!"
"Mm."
Fei Yan responded flatly, turned to leave, and then, suppressing the jealousy churning inside him, helped them by closing the door.
Outside the door, a somewhat dejected Cang Lan asked Fei Yan, "High Priest, are Yue Ying and our wife going to be married?"
He also wanted to marry their wife as soon as possible so he could rightfully stay by her side.
Fei Yan frowned slightly, unsure how to answer for a moment.
He couldn’t understand. Had it only been one night? How had Yue Ying and their wife progressed so quickly?
The moment he thought of the scene from just now, the composure he took so much pride in vanished into thin air.
’I can’t just sit here and wait. I have to make her see me as soon as possible, too!’
Inside the room, Yue Ying had regained a sliver of rationality due to the interruption.
After the others had left the room, he quickly found his outer robe, pulled out the suppressant from within, and swallowed it.
Su Mo shot up from the bed, her face crimson as she started to straighten her clothes.
But her mind was still in a mess, and her movements were clumsy, only making her more disheveled.
Yue Ying chuckled lightly, leaned in, and said softly, "Let me help you."
"N-No, you don’t have to!"
Su Mo instinctively shrank back.
But the man before her reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist. With a slight pull, Yue Ying brought her closer.
Then he chuckled. "What are you afraid of? It’s not like I’m going to eat you~"
After helping her fix her clothes, he leaned in again and deliberately added, "And if anyone’s doing the eating, it’ll be you eating me~ I’ll wait for you to eat me~"
Su Mo’s mind exploded.
Yue Ying rose gracefully and walked out, fanning himself.
Outside, he saw Fei Yan and Cang Lan standing there. Cang Lan merely shot him a jealous glance, showing no other emotion.
Fei Yan’s expression had already returned to one of calm, his gaze on Yue Ying placid and serene.
But the slightly wrinkled fabric of his robe betrayed his true feelings. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Yue Ying’s eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled impassively.
’Their High Priest has always been a master at hiding his emotions.’
’Compared to that Young Master Snake, the two of them are evenly matched.’
’He’s clearly dying of jealousy but still forces himself to act calm. It must be so hard on him.’
A moment later, Su Mo came out of the room.
Because of what had just happened, she was too embarrassed to look at any of them.
Seeing her bashful state, the smile on Yue Ying’s lips deepened.
He started to walk over, intending to take her hand.
Who would have known that Fei Yan, who was beside him, would beat him to it.
Fei Yan lunged forward, grabbed Su Mo’s wrist, and said in a stern voice, "We need to hurry, wife. Lieutenant General Long Yan has been waiting for quite some time."
"Oh!"
Su Mo replied, stumbling along as he led her forward.
Yue Ying followed behind, his gentle eyes staring at the hand Fei Yan had on her wrist, wishing daggers would shoot from his gaze and strike it.
But on second thought, he let it go.
’In any case, I kissed her tonight and made my feelings clear. That common fowl is just holding her hand. It’s nothing.’
Fei Yan led Su Mo by the hand all the way to the scene.
Long Yan and the Think Tank were there as well.
When she got a clear look at the person being held by the Dragon Clan guards in the shadows, a flash of surprise crossed Su Mo’s eyes before she quickly regained her composure.
