188: New Day

New Day

INFO NOTE: In case you were early and missed the notice added on last chap here it is: It has come to my attention that there's an influx of ADS popping up mid-chap. It has to do with the new farming feature they just implemented. The ads are for you to gain points to spend at the store...BUT if you would like TO DISABLE them, I believe you can do so by turning it off in your settings. You'll see "Farming Mode (Advertising)" is on there, just switch that off and it should be good!:hugging_face:0

Lei Xing eventually stopped and just let him hold her hand as she pouted and glared at him. The Emperor's smile diminished, he gently caressed her hand then seriously asked, "If you don't have such intentions, why do you think I would?"

Lei Xing blinked and stared at him with raised eyebrows, then she slightly knit her brows and lowered her eyes as she quietly said, "You can't say about the future...I just want to have it for the future." 

The Emperor scrutinized her for a bit and then sighed, "Xing er', you're not someone to give your feelings out to someone lightly..." When she glanced up at him, he narrowed his eyes at her with a small smile and added, "I have experienced that." Lei Xing flushed and embarrassedly lowered her head again, feeling a bit guilty.

The Emperor snorted and pat her head and then lowered his hand to her cheek and raised her head so she looked at him and then he said, "Neither am I. In this life, you are the first woman, no, person, the only person that I have ever come to love..."

Lei Xing blinked at him for a bit, and then absentmindedly removed her hand on the blanket, letting fall and placed on her hand over his on her face, she weakly smiled and said, "I believe you...but I just want you to know...that wh-if, IF" She stressed when she saw him starting to frown, her smile warmed and she lightly stroked the back of his hand and continued, "If...if you ever come to feel for someone else, all you have to do is tell me and I will leave you be, just know that." And a few tears streaked down her face as she said that, but she seemed unaware and simply smiled.

{...I will never cling...Never...}

The Emperor held her face in both his hands and wiped the tears with his thumbs and responded, "There will never be another, know that." Lei Xing's smile widened but he could still see the hesitation in her eyes.  He leaned down and gave her a light kiss and smiled at her as he caressed her face, she was no longer crying...but she still looked so fragile.

The Emperor did not know what to do to ease her fears and worry. But to his surprise, Lei Xing suddenly grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him. Then she moved back and caressed his face and said, "Stop thinking." And then she kissed him again, this time, even slipping her tongue in his mouth, deepening the kiss. Her hands moved from his face to wrap around his neck as she pulled him down to the bed with her. 

{...Let's not think...}

"Wake up...Wake up..." The Emperor heard a soft voice calling and felt someone poking his face and nudging him. He smiled and took hold of Lei Xing's hand and kissed it as he opened his eyes to see Lei Xing looking up at him from his shoulder, still snuggled against him. He felt relieved to see her eyes clear and her happily smiling at him, it seemed she was having fun poking him awake.

{...She seems to be back to her usual self...What a relief, I wouldn't know what to do if she remained so-...}

The Emperor rolled her onto her back and kissed her, but before he could deepen the kiss, Lei Xing pushed him back and informed, "They're calling for you..." The Emperor ignored that and leaned back down and caught her lips again. Lei Xing smiled and eagerly kissed him back and even brought a hand up and held his face. 

But before they could fully indulge in their reigniting passion, Eunuch Li's voice carried in from outside, "Your majesty, you need to get ready to attend Court."

The kissing duo stopped and Lei Xing snorted and smilingly said, "It seems they got impatient and went to find Eunuch Li. You should go before they burst in here to drag you off." Another Eunuch had been calling for him for a while now and it was his increasingly agitated call that woke Lei Xing up. But then that one had stopped for a few minutes and now Eunuch Li was here. It seemed they  had gone to find him to come to handle his Emperor when none of the inhabitants of the room responded. 

"They wouldn't dare." The Emperor said as he kissed her cheek, then her ear, and nuzzled into her hair. He did not want to leave. He kissed his way back to her smiling lips again when Eunuch Li's call interrupted again, "Your majesty..." The Emperor groaned in annoyance and Lei Xing snickered and then gave him a quick kiss and then patted his cheek and said, "Go on." 

"Your majesty, time is short..." Eunuch Li shouted in again, this time his voice was louder.

The Emperor glanced in the general direction of his voice with an expression that looked like a pout to Lei Xing. She blinked and raised her eyebrows, it was an expression she had never seen on him before and it was quite amusing...and adorable.

She pursed her lips in an attempt to stifle her laughter, but a snort managed to escape and the Emperor instantly turned his attention back to her and narrowed his eyes, "You seem to be happy with me leaving..." 

It looked like his pouting intensified and Lei Xing almost broke out in laughter but managed to mask it by clearing her throat and then she seriously said, "No, not at all." She gave him a quick kiss and smiled but then couldn't help herself and jokingly added, "I'd miss the bed too..."

The Emperor pursed his lips. He did not care about the bed and she knew that and was obviously making fun of him. But looking at her smiling up at him, he could not even muster up an ounce of annoyance but instead leaned down and kissed her again before finally getting up with a sigh as Lei Xing snorted and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Lei Xing watched him rise from the bed and walk over to the side to put on a robe. She had seen and felt him naked all night, but seeing him like this was different. She turned red and a bashful smile spread across her face, but even then, she did not look away and looked on with keen interest.

{...Ahhh, it seems I am a closet pervert...why is that not a surprise? haha...ha...⚆ _ ⚆)...haaaa (⁄⁄

⁄▽⁄<⁄⁄)...}

The Emperor turned back to the bed and Lei Xing instantly covered her reddened face with the blanket. 

{...You know what's worse than being a pervert.? It's getting caught being a freaking PERVERT! (´つヮ⊂)...}

  The Emperor walked over with a happy smile and fished her head out of the blanket to see her squeezing her eyes shut and her face scrunched up very cutely. He laughed at her expression then kissed her forehead and said, "Go back to sleep." She responded with quick nervous series of nods in assent. She was really too embarrassed to open her eyes and look him in the eye right now.

"Your majesty...." Eunuch Li called again. The Emperor sighed and then gave her another quick kiss on the lips and said, "Sleep." With that, he finally left.

Lei Xing watched him as he walked off with a smile on her face and then let out a sigh of her own.

{...This feels...quite nice...}

As the doors closed behind him, the Emperor glanced back and stared at the closed doors and smiled to himself. 

Eunuch Li cleared his throat and with a happy smile on his face said, "Your majesty, you should hurry..." The Emperor narrowed his eyes at Eunuch Li, but that did not phase him and he simply motioned to the hallway. The Emperor let out a breath, glanced at the door and then walked off with a smile lingering on his lips. 

{...Today is a good day...and it will be a great one...}
