Chapter 187 - Stabilizing Comfort (2/2)

The Emperor circled his arms around her waist and sighed, ”I honestly wasn't able to sleep well without you...and I have been very busy, so I am quite exhausted...”

”O-oh, so we're sleeping.” Lei Xing flatly said as she raised her eyebrows and blinked at him. Her nerves and the sliver of excitement quickly dissipated.

The Emperor lightly chuckled and gave her a quick kiss, ”Eventually.” And then with a bright smile still on his face, he pulled the blushing and nervous Lei Xing along as he walked back to the building, and made a beeline for his bedroom.

As soon as the bedroom doors closed behind them, he wrapped Lei Xing in his arms and dove into a passionate kiss as he pulled her along to the bed.

After a few steps, Lei Xing broke the kiss, ”Um,  I-” The Emperor immediately captured her lips again, apparently not interested in having a conversation anymore. He successfully distracted Lei Xing for a bit and she kissed him back for a few more steps but then she interrupted again, and that failed again.

And the third time, she put a hand over her mouth and frowned at him and ordered, ”Wait.”

The Emperor finally opened his eyes and looked at her with slightly knit eyebrows as he calmly asked, ”What is it?”

Lei Xing lowered her eyes and hesitantly said, ”I need to bathe and get ready first.”

The Emperor blinked and raised an eyebrow in confusion. Lei Xing cast him a quick glance and said, ”It's necessary preparatio-”

”I don't care.” The Emperor said, slightly amused and leaned in to resume the kiss. But Lei Xing pushed at his chest and pouted, ”I care, it's the first time.”

”No, it's not.” The Emperor corrected with a sly smile.

Lei Xing shyly frowned at his chest and said, ”Well it is for me...mostly. Anyway, I- I need to prepare. You wait.” She ordered and went to peel his arms of her. At first, his arms did not budge and then she glared at him and he snorted and released her with a smirk. She nervously gave a resolute nod and immediately scurried out the room as she fanned her heated face.

The Emperor watched her leave and then chuckled.

{...She's so adorable...*sigh* I can wait a little while...I feel like I could probably wait forever...}

The Emperor let out a happy sigh and was about to go out as well to ask the servants to bring his memorials here. But then he heard a chuckle in his head and immediately stopped.

{...*Hehe~ And you would have probably had to wait forever if it wasn't for me...You should be grateful...}

The Emperor was surprised at first, it had been quite a while, but then he smiled and went to go sit down on the side and poured himself some tea, ready to relax and have a conversation. He was in a great mood.

{...And I am very grateful...Thank you...}

The Voice was quiet for a while and the Emperor thought it had left again. He leisurely sipped his tea, only for him to hear a sniffle. He paused and knit his brows.

{...O_O)...Are you crying?...}

{...*I'm Not! *sniff*...It's just nice is all...*sniff* I'm going to remember this, you better not forget either! I mean it! Don't worry, I'll be sure to remind you hehe~*sniff*...You two are so precious! I've been wanti- just too adorable! *sniff*...}
