“How conservative,” Mei Kaiye said. Seeing Dugu Ming make no move, she prepared to climb up herself. She climbed up and, after sitting on the rockery and looking down, felt dizzy. Her hand slipped, and her body tilted towards the empty space, almost falling off the rockery. She barely caught the edge and looked up to see Dugu Ming had just withdrawn his hand.
After a while, she wiped away the cold sweat and extended her hand again, “Hey, help me. I want to sit next to you.”
Dugu Ming hesitated. Mei Kaiye said mischievously, “You can’t bear to let this weak woman fall, can you?”
Dugu Ming hesitated again, but after a moment, he reached out and carefully pulled her over, his movements gentle, making Mei Kaiye feel a sense of protection and warmth spreading in her heart.
“””
Those slender hands, with the thin calluses of someone who practiced martial arts, were clean and warm, without sweat. Mei Kaiye suddenly liked these hands. After Dugu Ming pulled her over and settled her, she didn’t want to let go. She thought, this is probably the kind of person she wanted – someone who seems cold and distant on the surface but is actually very gentle.
Mo Yi stretched out his hand, grabbing her tightly. “Don’t even think about escaping!” He pursed his lips, dragging Mei Kaiye towards the banquet.
“Let go, it hurts!”
He ignored her, not only refusing to release her but also tightening his grip. Essentially, Mei Kaiye was being dragged along by Mo Yi.
“What are you angry about? You have at least hundreds of concubines, right? Can’t you stop bothering me!” she blurted out carelessly.
“Do you really not understand?” He stopped walking, throwing her hand away and glaring at her, “Mei Kaiye!!”
Mei Kaiye turned her head away, snorting coldly, “I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand!”
As Mei Kaiye tried to walk away, Mo Yi pressed her shoulder, and with intense anger, he grabbed her chin and kissed her fiercely. No, it wasn’t a kiss, but a bite filled with frustration and rage. Mei Kaiye’s lips were in pain, a hint of blood quickly spreading between her lips and teeth. She glared at him and bit back defiantly.
