1760: Whole

Whole

Huo Yunshen had already predicted that Jing Xi would try to run. He grabbed her by her collar and pulled her back into the house.0

Yin Feng helped them with their luggage and left after that. Only Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi remained in the house.

Jing Xi scanned her surroundings and was stunned by how similar the room was to Yunjing Manor.

"You can look around if you want to," Huo Yunshen said.

"This looks a lot like the Yunjing Manor in Estan!" Jing Xi exclaimed.

Everything was utterly identical down to the smallest details.

"Yes. This place and Yunjing Manor were where Jing Xi and I used to live. These are our homes," Huo Yunshen said as he looked at Jing Xi in her eyes.

"Then… I shouldn't be here! Forgive me! I'll go look for a hotel nearby!"

Jing Xi was about to leave when Huo Yunshen pulled her back into his arms.

Huo Yunshen hugged her tightly and said, "Where do you think you're going? This is your house. Our house."

"…"

Jing Xi lay in the man's arm and was rendered speechless.

It seemed to her that the king was mistaking her for his late wife again.

Huo Yunshen closed his eyes as he hugged his wife in their first home. He felt whole again.

Jing Xi, we're finally back.

Huo Yunshen could feel the woman in his arms struggling, and he let her go. Jing Xi jumped away from him to a safe distance.

"I have three rules if I am to stay here," Jing Xi said.

"And what are the three rules?"

"First, you're the king, and I'm just a servant. That's the extent of our relationship," Jing Xi stressed.

"And the second one?" Huo Yunshen asked as he smiled at her, wondering what she was planning this time.

"The second one, I'm just here to take care of you. There will be no physical contact between us…"

As Jing Xi was speaking, Huo Yunshen took off his jacket. He then took off his necktie and undid a few buttons on his shirt.

Jing Xi's heartrate began to elevate as she looked at his action.

"… and there can be no sex."

"Okay," Huo Yunshen nodded and handed her the jacket he'd just taken off. "Hang this up for me."

"…"

Jing Xi was surprised, as she thought the king was about to force his way with her again.

"And the third rule?" Huo Yunshen asked as he walked to the living room.

"The third one…" Jing Xi forgot what the third rule was.

"You can tell me when you remember," Huo Yunshen laughed. "Help me fill the bathtub. I need a bath right now."

"… Okay." Jing Xi nodded and walked into the house but came back out to the living room a few minutes later. "Where is the bathroom?"

Huo Yunshen got up, and as he walked past Jing Xi, he whispered, "You little idiot."

How could you forget where our bathroom is?

He showed her where the bathroom was. Jing Xi was surprised when she learned that the door was designed to be like a wardrobe.

She couldn't help but stare in awe at the beautiful design.
