"Darling... " Xia Ling took the initiative to wrap her arms around Ji Xingchen's waist. She pressed her face against Ji Xingchen's chest.
"Can't you leave? "
Her tone was soft and coquettish.
Ji Xingchen's body stiffened slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that he really had something to do tonight, he would have really wanted to stay.
He had somewhat underestimated Xiao Yao. The entire JI family had always been in Ji Xingchen's hands and was as solid as an iron bucket. He didn't expect that Xiao Yao's men would be able to infiltrate when he wasn't paying attention.
If Ji Xingchen had not planted enough spies, Xiao Yao's men would really have been able to avoid him and deliver the news to Ji Luoqing.
He could not allow such a big loophole to slip right under his nose. He had to clean up the entire JI family's backyard once more.
"Be Good, wait for me to come back tonight. "
Thinking of these things, a cold expression appeared on Ji Xingchen's face.
He comforted Xia Ling gently.
He was a determined and never sloppy man. As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ling would not be able to stop him at this moment.
There was still Ji Xingchen's remaining warmth above his head, but the man's slender figure had quickly walked out of the room and disappeared into the darkness outside the room.
*
Xia Ling stood in the room for a while. In this room, she could still smell the faint incense on Ji Xingchen's clothes.
This smell proved that all of this was not a dream.
Xia Ling's thoughts wandered, and the maidservant outside waited for a while before coming in to ask.
"Young Madam, do you want to wash up now? "
It was getting late. Even if JI Xingchen did not stay over, Xia Ling should wash up and sleep.
"prepare some water for me, " Xia Ling ordered calmly. After a while, she said, "put in more rose petals today. Bring me the ointment that was sent over from the western regions last time. "
"Yes, Young Madam. " The Servant Girl replied and left.
Although the servant girl did not say much and her expression did not look unusual, Xia Ling did not say anything. However, as Xia Ling ordered these things, she knew in her heart that tonight was different from before.
Her face became even hotter.
When it was time to take a bath, Xia Ling soaked in the warm water for a while longer.
She added water two or three times before she came out of the wooden bucket.
She was not in a hurry to sleep. She asked the servant to find a few travel notes for her to pass the time. She lit a lamp and half leaned against the side of the bed.
The black hair scattered beside the bed and slightly propped up her face. Xia Ling was also entranced by the travel notes.
The travel notes were quite interesting. The local customs of this world.
Xia Ling yawned. She heard the night watchman outside doing his rounds. It was already midnight.
Perhaps he was not coming back?
Xia Ling let the maid put away her cloak and went to bed to sleep.
Sleeping alone, the bed was exceptionally large. She could sleep as she wanted.
However, while she was still in a daze, Xia Ling suddenly felt the bed beside her sink.
"Who is it? " She turned around alertly. Xia Ling did not have time to see the face of the person beside her before her lips were directly sealed by the man.
She was already so familiar with Ji Xingchen that she couldn't see his face, but based on her senses, she could accurately touch his face.
In this familiar smell, the faint smell of blood made Xia Ling completely awake.
Ji Xingchen, even if he had washed himself, Xia Ling's sharp senses could still smell a hint of rust.
"husband. " She turned sideways and tugged at Ji Xingchen's collar. "You're back? "
"good girl, I miss you. "
In a low voice, Ji Xingchen used the darkness as a cover to speak of the burning passion in his heart.
...
A moment of lustful pleasure.
*
They tossed and turned all the way until dawn. Outside the window, a faint fish-bellied white could be seen. The man went up to her in a refreshed manner.
Ji Xingchen had finally left. She could not be bothered to get up and wash up. She rolled up the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
She slept until close to noon.
Ji Xingchen had instructed the servants not to go in and Disturb Xia Ling. Thus, up until now, the servants had stayed outside to warm the water, waiting for Xia Ling to wake up.
Xia Ling called out to the people outside.
"Young Madam, what are your orders? ''
Xia Ling turned over and lay on the couch.
She clenched her fists and rubbed her waist, but she still couldn't stand it.
"Go find two who know how to massage. Come in and give me a massage, " she said Lazily, and the maids immediately did as she said.
There were naturally many maids like this in the JI residence. Xia Ling gave the order, and there were several of them in her courtyard.
The maids quickly came in. They opened the windows for ventilation, and prepared hot water for Xia Ling to wash her body.
Then, they surrounded Xia Ling, first using balm to protect her hands, and then slowly applying balm on Xia Ling's body.
This way, Xia Ling did not need to do anything to protect her skin and health. Everything was done properly.
