Su Yingxue’s eyes widened in surprise, her expression frozen amid astonishment.
...She heard Chu Yihan continue, “Nine more times.”
“No way!”
Su Yingxue immediately and decisively rejected the proposition.
The idea of ten kisses was already pushing the boundaries. Why did he have to extend it to nine more times?
Chu Yihan simply acknowledged her response, his demeanor turning cold.
The room became as frigid as an ice mountain.
Su Yingxue lightly touched the cold jade on her chest, which was still emanating warmth within her body.
With determination, she approached Chu Yihan, facing his profile, and lowered her head for another kiss.
“A click…”
The sound of their lips brushing against each other’s skin echoed with a hint of ambiguity.
Gentle.
Delicate.
However, those who listened closely could discern the sound.
Chu Yihan stole a glance at Su Yingxue. She appeared quite self-assured as if to say, “I’ve kissed you, so now you can go find Consort Xiang, right?”
Chu Yihan maintained an upright posture and turned his face to directly face Su Yingxue.
“I’ve already kissed you.” Su Yingxue said, her voice tinged with suspicion.
“There are still nine to go.” Chu Yihan reminded her.
Counting kisses, there was no way to deceive him.
“We can continue kissing later. Your Highness, please invite Consort Xiang first. Otherwise, we might run out of time.”
Su Yingxue was growing frustrated. Negotiating with Chu Yihan was proving to be an incredibly challenging task.
“I won’t go until you finish.” Chu Yihan was resolute.
Su Yingxue covered the cold jade on her chest and thought, “It’s just kissing, after all.”
Nine more times!
Who was afraid of whom!
The door slammed shut with a resounding clang!
Su Yingxue advanced toward Chu Yihan with determination.
By the time she emerged again, half an hour had gone.
She lowered her head, hand covering her mouth, then turned to glare at Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan’s lips were now cut, a trace of blood lingering at the corner of his mouth. As he wiped away the blood with his finger, a faint streak of red appeared on his face. This added a touch of allure to his already peerlessly handsome countenance, making him appear especially…enticing!
Su Yingxue deeply regretted seeking out Chu Yihan. Not only had she been taken advantage of, but she had also squandered time!
If he went to invite Consort Xiang now, he didn’t know if he could make it in time.
Anxious, she returned to the imperial fusion platform, only to find that Chu Chengye and his brother had yet to set off. Lin Sisi was already mounted on her horse, waiting for her.
Lin Sisi eagerly waved at her. “Dr. Su, hurry! The emperor allowed us to enter the hunting ground! He even gave us special permission to compete with the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince!”
Lin Sisi was brimming with excitement, her eyes practically radiating joy.
Su Yingxue was a bit perplexed, but then she noticed Consort Xiang standing beside Chu Mingyuan.
Consort Xiang was breathtakingly beautiful, her complexion as smooth as ice, and she exuded an otherworldly allure. Her sapphire-like eyes met Su Yingxue’s, accompanied by a kindly smile.
As it turned out, Chu Yihan had already dispatched someone to fetch her!
Consort Xiang didn’t address Su Yingxue directly. Instead, she gracefully took a seat beside Chu Mingyuan and spoke tenderly, “Thanks Emperor for granting me the opportunity to experience the magnificence of the hunting grounds and witness the competition between the young ladies and the princes.”
Chu Mingyuan’s affection for her was evident.
Initially, when the empress approached him, expressing concern over the matter, he prevented both Lin Sisi and Su Yingxue from participating in the event to preserve the royal family’s dignity. He had also considered guarding against any mischief from Su Yingxue.
However, Consort Xiang’s unexpected arrival changed the situation. She expressed her love for hunting and lamented that her gender and health prevented her from partaking. She wished to see the young ladies who had the chance to compete.
Since she had just arrived from the palace, she couldn’t have coordinated with Su Yingxue beforehand. Consequently, Chu Mingyuan granted her request without much hesitation..
