That hoarse, low voice was—
The person nuzzled near her neck, cool lips pressing against her neck, sending a tingling, shivering sensation. Mei Kaiye tried to turn her head, but the person covered her eyes with one hand.
“Guess who I am?” he whispered close to her ear, his lips brushing against hers.
Did she need to guess? Who else could it be but Mo Yi? Mei Kaiye struggled slightly, saying in a low voice, “Let me go.”
“Okay.” He released his grip on her arms, but as she tried to move towards the door, he suddenly pulled her back, pinning her hands behind her and pressing her against the wall. He covered her eyes again. He laughed softly, “I gave you a chance, but unfortunately… you didn’t manage to escape.” His words carried a double meaning, implying that her fake death had almost convinced him, but she hadn’t run far and stupidly remained in the capital.
Mei Kaiye’s heart sank. How did he know? She had felt something was off. The only person she could think of was the empress. Just as she was about to ask, she heard him chuckle lightly, “Trying on a wedding dress, who are you planning to marry? Hmm?”
He didn’t know who she was going to marry? Mei Kaiye felt confused but didn’t speak.
Mo Yi lowered his gaze, looking at her stunning beauty, and a cold feeling gradually rose from his heart. “Afraid to answer?”
As if by instinct, she turned her head away. “What exactly do you want?”
“Oh?” Mo Yi said playfully, “You’re asking what I want to do?” Because one hand was covering her eyes and the other pinning her hands, he leaned down, using his teeth to grip her collar and slowly pull it open…
Feeling the coolness on her shoulders, Mei Kaiye pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
“This clothing is in the way,” he said softly, continuing his actions. Her outer garment opened, but because she was pressed against the wall, her clothes didn’t slip off. Revealing a red inner garment and scholar’s robe, her appearance was even more alluring. Her collarbone was delicate and beautiful, and he lowered his head to kiss it.
Mei Kaiye trembled slightly, instinctively struggling. “You… don’t do this.”
