The afternoon air suddenly grew thick and sensual. The damp fragrance from her recent bath seemed to intensify.
Ming Lingyi watched the man before her slowly lower his head. He didn't get angry that she had bitten the web of his hand; instead, his gaze took on a profound new meaning.
"I never knew Yuan Niang was so greedy."
Li Yun lowered his head, his warm lips nearly brushing against Ming Lingyi's earlobe.
Having been so sensitive to the teasing of Li Yun's fingers just moments ago, Ming Lingyi trembled uncontrollably when his softer, hotter lips pressed against her.
Without her realizing it, her teeth loosened their grip on the web of his hand.
She still wanted to act tough and put on a brave front before Li Yun. Stiffening her neck, she pretended her body wasn't entirely under his control. "How is that greedy? Didn't the Emperor arrive uninvited today?" Ming Lingyi said in an equally low, husky voice.
'I certainly didn't ask Li Yun to come and serve me like this.'
