Chapter 573: Proposal

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When Feng Shen walked in, Xia Houqi felt the girl in his arms froze obviously.

"Feng Shen, how dare you go against my order and break into the royal study?" Xia held Ye even more closely, looking like a leopard whose prey was being snatched.

This time, Feng Shen had done Xia great help. But it was also because of him that Xia had to marry Princess Qingbi.

Xia was quite smart. He had been at a loss when the riot of the Hong family caused great panic. After the rebellion was put down, however, he regained the ability to think and felt that Feng Shen had set a trap for him.

"Your Majesty, I have to remind you that your behavior is inappropriate now since you and Marquis Yue are of different genders."

Feng Shen disregarded Xia's rage and then raised his hand. Somehow, Xia felt that Ye had been taken away in an instant.

Xia's eyes blazed with fury.

"Feng Shen, I can kill you!"

"Your Majesty, I have come to remind you that your marriage with Princess Qingbi is set in just half a year. If she hears about your behavior today, her personality will drive her to cause great conflicts between the two states. Now, Da Xia can no longer withstand another war. Is it true? " Feng Shen glanced at Xia. "The etiquette officials have already arrived in Xia City on behalf of Qing Emperor. They are waiting outside to confer with you about the coming marriage."

With these words, Feng Shen held Ye Lingyue by the waist and strode out of the royal study, ignoring the angry look of Xia Houqi.

Xia opened his mouth but could not say anything when seeing that Ye was like a meek rabbit in Feng Shen's arms.

For long, he stood still in the study without saying anything.

Ye had been "saved" by Feng Shen and was still in a daze. Not until they were far from the royal study did Ye realize that she was in the arms of Feng Shen.

"Feng Shen, are you crazy? Let me down." The two had drawn a lot attention from the passing maids and eunuchs, who felt strange about their closeness.

Ye was quite embarrassed and pushed Feng Shen several times. But the latter did not show any sign of letting her go, looking like a military Nieyuan gun that could not be moved at all.

Feng Shen lowered his head and glanced at Ye, holding her even more closely.

"When Xia Houqi hugged you, you showed no resistance. When I hold you, however, you are trying so hard to free yourself?

Feng Shen's words showed a strong touch of jealousy.

"It is a pity that this girl's intelligence can by no means match her beauty."

"Xia Houqi loves her so deeply. How dare she stay together with him in a room where nobody else was there." thought Feng Shen to himself.

"I will never let her go! I will keep her in my arms at least until the scent of another man disappears totally."

Feng Shen was cuddling her as closely as he could. Heaven knows how much he missed her.

Since they parted in the Star Cave, he had not seen her for months. Every day, he could only rely on the voice from the Phoenix Edict to relieve his lovesickness. Now they were finally in the same place. However, the girl never bothered to visit him since she was busy helping Xia Houqi deal with state affairs, counting the money she had won, and accompanying the Ye family on their tour around Xia City.

Feng Shen felt that he himself was like a little girl who had been nursing a grievance against her husband for his disregard.

"Didn't you see I was trying to free myself? Please be gentle with me. I can't even breathe." Ye was held by Feng Shen in his arms and her head was leaning against his chest. The delicate sandalwood flavor from his body smelt so nice.

Their bodies were so close to each other that Ye could even feel the strong muscles under Feng Shen's clothes.

Somehow, Ye's ears turned red. She felt that her whole face went scarlet.

She had to admit that she was trying to keep Feng Shen at arm's length after going back to Xia City.

The reason was that she felt quite embarrassed when meeting Feng Shen. Moreover, his gaze would leave her rather nervous. Ye did not know when she started to feel this way.

However, she would become restless if she hadn't seen him for long.

Such feelings seemed too strange for Ye Lingyue.

She was always indifferent to others, except her close relatives and good friends.

She had thought that Feng Shen was just a bosom friend. Now their relationship seemed to have changed, though.

Feng Shen felt the soft skin of Ye Lingyue and was overwhelmed by a sense of excitement. He could finally vent out the feelings that had been contained for days long.

Then he could not help but hold her face and kiss her on her rosy lips.

Being left at a loss, Ye Lingyue was about to turn around when Feng Shen quickly grabbed her delicate jaw. He used his tongue to push open her closed teeth and began to suck mildly.

Feng Shen had hardly acted intimately towards others.

The only one he treated so intimately was the girl in his arms. Doubtlessly, he was such a good learner.

The two were extremely smart but turned clumsy when dealing with romantic relationships.

Fortunately, Feng Shen quickly learned the trick after trying twice.

He nibbled at her mouth, their tongues twisted together. Feng Shen felt that the girl was so sweet.

Her lips and body were so soft that Feng Shen just could not stop.

Ye Lingyue was left out of breath. She gave a low moan and pinched Feng Shen on the arm. The latter felt pain but did not stop immediately. Instead, he kissed her even more wholeheartedly.

Not until Ye Lingyue was about to suffocate did Feng Shen let go of her reluctantly.

"Feng Shen, you jerk! How can you treat me like this? " Ye Lingyue was annoyed. She wanted to slap him in the face but stopped.

"Lingyue, sorry for my inappropriate behavior. Then how about being my wife?" Feng Shen held her close and whispered. He did not feel uneasy about her curse at all.

"No way." Ye was still filled with anger but felt sweet somehow.

"Then how about being my husband? You have kissed me and slept with me. After all, you have to take responsibility." Feng Shen was assured that he had every reason to ask for marriage.

"You jerk! What are you talking about? I have done that just to save you..." Ye Lingyue recalled what had happened in the Star Cave. She and Feng Shen were...before all the others. She touched her cheeks and found her face burning.

At this time, Feng Shen had a big smile on his handsome face. It looked so attractive against the bright sunlight that Ye just could not stop looking at him.

The damned man was just like a demon she could never get rid of.

Ye Lingyue was angry about Feng Shen's frivolous behavior and hated herself for her inability to do anything about it. She stamped her feet and was about to leave Feng Shen alone.

"In just several months, it will be the 20th anniversary of the enthronement of Qing Emperor. At that time, I will tell all the others about our relationship. " Feng Shen said behind.

Ye Lingyue paused for a moment and then ran away.
