The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

In an instant, all the sounds dissipated and all the scenery faded.

The world seemed to have frozen into a silent painting. In the silence, sporadic flames burned.

He pinned her against the door, gripped her hand, and kissed her lips.

His figure easily enveloped her figure, and the two of them overlapped into a shadow. It was as if he wanted to swallow her silently.

Xiao Ba's mind went blank.

The touch on her lips was soft, slightly cold, and unfamiliar. As if because he was inexperienced, and he came over with anger, his movements were a little out of control and painful.

This pain woke her up.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly. Her heart was beating violently, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest.

It was as if a ball of fire had landed in her heart and exploded, shattering all her grievances and anger.

In the blink of an eye, it burned away. In its place was endless heat and heat that wrapped around her and couldn't be broken free.

She looked into his eyes in a daze, but she finally saw the flames hidden under the ice in his cold and sharp eyes.

Yan Qing was also looking at her. He saw her snow-white skin, her flushed cheeks, and the surprise and embarrassment in her eyes.

The roses swayed in the wind and were fragrant. Even though it was thorny, he would still choose to hold it tightly and refuse to let go.

He looked at her with deep eyes, bit her lips, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

His voice seemed to be a little hoarse in the night.

As Xiao Ba listened, she thought in a daze, So this is what he sounds like when he kisses someone.

His gaze was so direct and invasive that it was simply unavoidable. It also made her feel a rare shyness that she couldn't hide.

BBut before she could think clearly, Yan Qing had already stepped forward again. He bent his long legs and placed his knee on hers, completely enveloping her.

He was very tall and so close that she could only be forced to raise her head and accept his kiss.

She was actually stunned and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. She was unbelievably obedient.

It happened too suddenly and was too shocking and unbelievable. She didn't have the time and energy to think about what was going on.

He let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist.

It was smooth and soft, like top-quality silk. It seemed to slide gently through his fingers, but it was especially soft, making one curious. Such a waist, under his palm, was enchanting and tactful.

With that thought in mind, he did the same. He grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Such an intimate posture allowed him to clearly measure every inch of her curves.

His calloused palm easily covered her waist.

It was rough and slightly painful. Wherever it passed, there was an indescribable itch that spread uncontrollably.

Half of her body went limp in his arms.

In the quiet night, the moonlight was gentle.

The space around them was silent. Only his hot and rapid breathing made the night noisy and hot.

After an unknown period of time, Yan Qing finally let her go.

He retreated a little and raised his head slightly, as if this could restrain the uncontrollable urge again. Only his panting and surging eyes showed that he was definitely not as calm and composed as he looked on the surface.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and finally regained some rationality. He focused on the person in front of him again.

Xiao Ba's slender back was half-leaning against the door. Her slender waist was still in his hand, and her entire body was very soft.

If he hadn't been holding her, she might have slipped.

She raised her head slightly, her cheeks already flushed.

She had snow-white skin and black hair. Her red lips were full and lustrous—it was like a ripe fruit waiting for someone to pick it.

His throat tightened.

He looked away and into her eyes.

It was as if her charm was about to overflow. Just one glance almost caused his restraint to collapse again.

But the next moment, her soul-stirring beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Yan Qing's rationality completely returned.

His heart seemed to be clenched by something in an instant. After a while, he said, "Don't cry."

It would've been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ba's eyes instantly turned red, and a crystal tear rolled down.

Panic flashed across Yan Qing's eyes.

He was about to speak when he heard Xiao Ba's choked voice. "What… what do you mean?"

He didn't say anything and didn't let me leave. He pressed me down and kissed me all over. When have I ever encountered such a situation?

Yan Qing went to wipe her tears.

She didn't move and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Her face was extremely red, filled with grievances and embarrassment.

Yan Qing whispered, "I'm sorry. I couldn't help it."

Xiao Ba was stunned. She vaguely thought of something, and her face burned again.

Actually, her tears fell very suddenly, but she wasn't too angry. It was just that in recent days, she had accumulated too many emotions.

That string was already tense. Yan Qing's sudden action finally broke the string.

She bit her lip and asked indignantly, "Then… are you going to write it off with just one apology?"

How is he sorry? Why would he be sorry?

Yan Qing looked at her and suddenly let go. He turned around.

Xiao Ba was in a daze when she saw Yan Qing take the sword on the table.

He turned back to her and handed her the sword. "If you're angry, you can attack me. I won't dodge."

Xiao Ba looked at the sword in front of her and was stunned for a moment. What Yan Qing means is…

"Do you want to die?" She was furious and looked up at him. "Do you think I don't dare to attack?"

Yan Qing pursed his thin lips. "No, it's just that what I'm about to say might make you angry or angry. If you're angry, you can do anything you want."

Xiao Ba was a little stunned. She opened her teary eyes and asked, "What—what is it?"

Yan Qing was silent for a moment. "The reason why I insisted on asking you why you came tonight is that I've been waiting for you."

Xiao Ba's heart trembled.

"If you hadn't come, then forget it. However, you did." He looked up slightly and fixed his gaze on the woman not far away from him.

She seemed to understand something, and panic flashed across her eyes.

Yan Qing continued, "That day, I said I wanted to tell you something. Whether you want to hear it or not, I have to say it now."

Only then did Xiao Ba remember that she had indeed come over to ask about this. Unfortunately, a series of things had happened, and she had forgotten.

She subconsciously asked, "What?"

Yan Qing was silent for a moment. "First sentence: I've had feelings for you for a long time."

"Second sentence: If you're willing to marry me, my life is in your hands. If you're unwilling, I'll compensate you with my life for offending you so much just now."

He placed the sword in her hand.

Xiao Ba felt her hand grip the cold and hard hilt.

"My life and death are up to you."
