Mo Junyang who held Shi Qingxue walked to the inner room and then sat on the bedside.
He didn’t let her get down but put her on his knees. They still hugged each other closely.
After quite a while, Shi Qingxue couldn’t come back to reality as she was still happy for Mo Junyang’s sudden arrival.
She was overjoyed.
She still hugged Mo Junyang’s neck and her red face still rubbed against his face, as if his cold body could give her warmth and peace.
Shi Qingxue had a desire for the first time, and she couldn’t help but get close to Mo Junyang.
She wanted to be closer to him.
Qingxue’s action like a little animal seeking for warmth was “torture” to Mo Junyang.
He could hardly control himself, and his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. He wanted to swallow the desire and tried to keep his composure.
He could always restrain himself.
However, Shi Qingxue subconsciously called his name in his ear. “Junyang…”
Mo Junyang’s self-restraint collapsed in an instant, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. He caressed Shi Qingxue’s cheek and kissed her red lips which lured him.
In the beginning, he restrained himself and just gently touched Shi Qingxue’s lips and rubbed against them, yet he saw that she merely trembled and didn’t refuse him but opened her mouth, leaving a crack between her lips.
Mo Junyang slyly reached out his tongue into her mouth at once and kissed her.
It was not their first kiss but the most satisfying.
They intimately hugged and kissed for quite a while. In the end, Shi Qingxue couldn’t stand it, so she put her hand before his chest to push him away.
Her voice was sweet and tempting. “I can’t bear it.”
Mo Junyang instantly felt a flame spreading from his chest and burning him quickly.
He almost caught Shi Qingxue back, yet he controlled himself next second. He let Qingxue sit up but didn’t allow her to stay away from his arms.
Shi Qingxue didn’t plan to leave but put her forehead on his shoulder. She gasped and asked in a low voice, “What brought you here?”
Mo Junyang smiled and couldn’t help announcing with sufficient reasons, “You are my fiancee now.”
The men and women in Mo Country could see each other freely, and once they were engaged, they had no scruple.
It was logical that Mo Junyang wanted to show his concern about Shi Qingxue and get close to her.
Shi Qingxue felt shy to hear the word “fiancee”, and her face got burning hot immediately.
She looked away and murmured with shyness, “Stop.”
Mo Junyang didn’t take her refusal seriously but hugged her more tightly. They embraced each other closely.
His chin rubbed against her cheek, and he laughed in a low voice. “Why can’t I say it? You are my fiancee.”
Shi Qingxue’s face was redder, and she almost couldn’t stand it.
She blew out her cheeks and pretended to be angry. “If you say more, I won’t talk with you.”
Mo Junyang looked at Qingxue quietly. Her expression was so alive and attractive, making him indulge in pleasures.
He couldn’t help but caress her cheek gently again and express his true feelings in a soft voice. “Qingxue, I miss you.”
His straightforward words struck at Shi Qingxue’s heart, and her face was so hot that it could fry an egg.
However, this time she didn’t evade anymore. She bit her lower lip and said in a weak yet firm voice, “I…miss you, too.”
It was the first time for Shi Qingxue to express her feelings to Mo Junyang. How overjoyed he was after hearing that could be imagined.
However, when he prepared to hold her in his arms forcefully once more, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Mang said at the door, “My Lady, it’s time to…”
Since Shi Qingxue came to Tan Mountain, she would go to the room of meditation to play zither at this hour every day, and she had never been absent.
So even though Xia Mang knew that the couple in the room might seize every minute and second to express their love, she had to knock on the door.
She had predicted that Mo Junyang would stare at her with his eyes which could kill her.
After a long time, there was rustling from the room, and then Shi Qingxue said loudly, “I see. I am coming.”
She got out of Mo Junyang’s arms and got up. Then she tidied up her face and clothes simply in front of the mirror. Looking at her red lips in the mirror showing that she was loved, she felt so shy that she wanted to cover her face.
Gee. Fortunately, Xia Mang showed up in time. Otherwise, if Shi Qingxue continued to stay with Mo Junyang alone, her bath and burning incense would be a waste of energy.
Shi Qingxue patted her cheeks to make her more energetic. Then she turned to Mo Junyang.
The man was still sitting on the bed, looking cold, and his eyes were fierce, but Shi Qingxue noticed annoyance in his expression.
She laughed for no reason with only one thought on her mind.
Mo Junyang in this condition was so lovely.
He heard the laughter and looked up with a frown. “Why are you laughing?”
Shi Qingxue didn’t dare to say it. She just raised her hand to cover the smile, while her eyes were still twinkling.
She changed the subject. “I am going to play zither in the room of meditation. Will you go with me?”
Mo Junyang just felt annoyed as Xia Mang disturbed them when they were intimate for the first time. He wished to stay with Shi Qingxue for twenty-four hours every day.
So he naturally agreed with pleasure.
They came to the room of meditation together. There was sanders inside, and the tools Qingxue needed were put in order.
Shi Qingxue sat in front of the table, and the zither she liked most was on it.
When the elder duke Shi Lei was alive, he met a phoenix tree which was burnt by lightning on the way, so he chose a section of wood which was not burnt and made this zither. As Qingxue started to learn playing zither, he gave it to her.
Not to mention that it made many people jealous of Shi Qingxue, after she was imprisoned in the Cold Palace, Mo Junhao smashed it into two parts in person, and she couldn’t play it anymore, which was a matter for regret to her in the previous life.
So this time, she specially brought this zither to the family temple, and she wanted to bring Dong Hui good fortune with this zither and pray for Shi Lei with its unique tone.
She started to play zither, and the music was prolonged and melodious. Different from the depressing music in the past, it was cheerful obviously today.
Even Dong Shuang who was dull could find that the player was happy, and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile secretly.
As soon as the poor Dong Shuang began to grin, Mo Junyang glared at her ferociously, and she kept silent instantly.
Although Shi Qingxue was absorbed in playing zither and wasn’t affected, Mo Junyang still felt inconvenient for these servants’ presence in the room.
He glanced at Wei Zichao, and the latter understood immediately, leading the two maids to leave and wait outside.
Both Xia Mang and Dong Shuang feared Mo Junyang. They didn’t dare to protest but followed Wei Zichao out obediently.
After walking out, Dong Shuang sighed with relief, yet the scared expression was still on her face.
She patted her chest with fear and complained in a low voice, “His Excellency is so horrible.”
Xia Mang rolled her eyes at Dong Shuang. “You are so badly-behaved. I think that you have forgotten the rules that the mammy in charge taught you since childhood. Somebody should discipline you.”
Dong Shuang shrank her neck when she was rebuked. She was obedient and didn’t dare to retort.
Wei Zichao heard that and spoke for Dong Shuang. “Dong Shuang is still young, and it’s normal that she doesn’t pay attention to some things. Xia Mang, don’t be too harsh on her.”
As somebody defended her, Dong Shuang had courage to confront Xia Mang in an instant. She murmured, “Lady Qingxue has said that she likes me most when I am lively.”
Perhaps she knew that she would be beaten after saying that, so before Xia Mang raised a hand to beat her, Dong Shuang hurriedly hid behind Wei Zichao and even pushed the tall and big guard forward.
The shield Wei Zichao looked at Xia Mang’s ferocious face and had a headache, but he still dutifully blocked her anger for Dong Shuang. “Xia Mang, please don’t be mad.”
Xia Mang failed in beating Dong Shuang and didn’t chase her, yet she was amused by the two’s secret actions.
Gee, why didn’t she find something secret in the past?
It was no wonder that Shi Qingxue told Dong Shuang to do her job to send letters to King Rui’s mansion in the past few days. It turned out that something happened between these two.
Xia Mang rolled her eyes and restrained her anger. Then she cleared her throat. “Fine, I don’t want to bother about you so much. Go and prepare tea and snacks with Wei. The masters will drink and eat later.”
Dong Shuang was confused about why she needed Wei Zichao to help her do her job, but she was used to listening to Xia Mang’s orders, so she didn’t think much. She said to Wei Zichao, “I will take you to the kitchen.”
Wei Zichao understood Xia Mang’s hidden meaning, and his dark face which was exposed to the sun and wind became red with luster. His eyes were evasive, and he stuttered.
Dong Shuang thought that Wei Zichao was baffled as he didn’t know how to make food, so she comforted him out of kindness. “Don’t worry. Our food is made by monks and nuns in the temple and their assistants. We just need to bring the food and drink here. It’s not difficult.”
Wei Zichao was speechless.
Perhaps it was his first time to see a girl who was more pure-minded than him, and he thought that Dong Shuang was lovely.
He didn’t think much but ignored Xia Mang’s eyes with a sly smile. He smiled at Dong Shuang and nodded. “Okay. Let’s go.”
Dong Shuang also smiled and reached out her hand to pull Wei Zichao’s sleeve, walking to the kitchen.
She had no scruple.
Even Wei Zichao’s ears became red, yet he didn’t plan to avoid Dong Shuang. He sped up and walked next to her.
Xia Mang looked at the two backs walking forward, while the smile on her face faded and was replaced with a smile with comfort.
She, Chun Yu, Qiu Lu and Dong Shuang were maids serving Shi Qingxue since childhood and grew up with the lady, so their friendship was special.
However, Chun Yu had betrayed the lady, and Qiu Lu had become distant to them, so only she and Dong Shuang were trustworthy maids around Shi Qingxue.
Xia Mang swore since childhood that she would serve Shi Qingxue forever and wouldn’t get married. She didn’t want to see that the lady had no trustworthy maid around her then, and she hoped that there were more such people.
She had such a plan, but she couldn’t stop Dong Shuang from looking for her happiness.
If Dong Shuang really loved Wei Zichao and they got married, there wouldn’t be great changes after Shi Qingxue married into King Rui’s mansion in the future.
Xia Mang was more satisfied while thinking and hoped that she could become a matchmaker and make a match for Dong Shuang and Wei Zichao at once.
However, Dong Shuang was dull and hadn’t noticed Wei Zichao’s love for her. If Wei Zichao waited for this girl to be enlightened, it would be delayed for long.
“Gee, I have to take actions.” Xia Mang clapped and made a decision secretly.

She didn't want to see that the lady had no trustworthy maid around her then, and she hoped that there were more such people.She had such a plan, but she couldn't stop Dong Shuang from looking for her happiness.If Dong Shuang really loved Wei Zichao and they got married, there wouldn't be great changes after Shi Qingxue married into King Rui's mansion in the future.Xia Mang was more satisfied while thinking and hoped that she could become a matchmaker and make a match for Dong Shuang and Wei Zichao at once.However, Dong Shuang was dull and hadn't noticed Wei Zichao's love for her. If Wei Zichao waited for this girl to be enlightened, it would be delayed for long.Gee, I have to take actions. Xia Mang clapped and made a decision secretly.
