Cao Liangjei blinked out of that enchanting memory as he pursed his lips. He had a sad expression on his face. After the night he spent with this woman in that dark alley, he ended up getting so attached to this woman that he decided to follow her everywhere to the point of becoming crazy.
He finally realized that this woman was working as a prostitute, and when he learnt of this, his entire face paled and his heart sank. He didn't know what to do anymore.
Thus, whenever he would come by, he would do only one thing: Ask the girl's hand in marriage.
Honestly, all this time, throughout the month, this young woman would only wave him off knowing their marriage wasn't possible. She had also become attached to him emotionally, but what of it? She knew she couldn't dream about her dreams anymore, for she would only be left disappointed.
But how could she still let go of the man who showed her traces of warmth one after another? Whenever he came to visit her sneakily in the prostitute's house, she would only end up falling for him even more, deeper than before.
She was in an extremely helpless situation, especially when every time he came, he would bring a handful of gold coins that were enough to last for the next few years.
Unfortunately, those bags of coins would be found by the chief and she would take it all to herself, leaving only scraps. Thus, the lady wouldn't have any other choice but to continue her prostitution business.
One day, Cao Liangjei even told her to run away, but the lady knew she couldn't because if she stayed here, her brother, who also belonged to the demonic race, would stay safe and sound. If she were to run away, these people would outright kill her.
Her soft and kindhearted younger brother managed to stay in a very loving family as a servant who cared about him as a human being. It was only because of her sacrifice and nothing else.
If the lady became selfish and decided to think of her own desires, she would end up putting her brother's life in danger. Of course, it would have been fine if she had told the fourth prince the truth, but she didn't want to involve him anymore. Thus, neither did she tell the fourth prince the truth, nor did she tell him about what happened to those coins he put on her bedside before leaving every single night.
She loved him so much that she was afraid…. Very much afraid for his life and death. If others were to find out about her situation, her attachment to a prince, and the latter's attachment to her, they would surely do something terrible to him, and she wouldn't be able to take that anymore.
At the very least, she wanted this person to hate her from the depths of his heart so much that he would directly choose someone else in anger, a better person. She was even hoping that the Emperor would be kind enough to offer Cao Liangjei a few ladies as an imperial edict to get him married once and for all.
Surely, this person then wouldn't come knocking on her door every single night and make her feel frightened to death for his life, right? At the very least….. She could still love him in her dreams and see him alive and kicking…..
It's fine if she wasn't the one to make him smile, but…. She at least wanted to see him alive.
The lady looked down to control her emotions as she took a deep breath and calmed her trembling breath. The next moment she looked up, her eyes already had traces of coldness hidden in the depths as she stared back at the man's sad and depressed eyes.
Even though her heart felt like shattering into millions after seeing his expression, she hardened her heart and opened up her robes, showing her enchanting naked body with full breasts and erect nipples. She looked even more stunning in that form as she walked closer and closer as she leaned over, kissing his lips.
But she made sure to make her kiss short and emotionless. No matter how much pain she felt in her heart, she continued to show the man that she felt nothing but coldness and indifference when kissing him.
Cao Liangjei also didn't know why he was so attached to this lady despite knowing how she hated him, especially because of his special identity. He knew he could never attend her heart, but he still came every single night only to see the woman he liked in another person's arms, kissing him with ultimate passion.
His heart would twist several times in pain every time he witnessed this kind of scene, but what could he do? What else could he do?
He was lost, and helpless, yet he didn't want to leave her. He didn't want to let go of even a single trace of warmth that filled his heart crazily, surrounding him and embracing him so much that all of his pain and suffering would go away. He would rather cry for her every single time he met her than let her go.
Thus, despite feeling traces of tears dropping from his eyes, he hugged her waist and pulled her closer, losing himself in that kiss. There was a sense of urgency in his kiss as he continued to move his lips, tilting his head so that he could deepen the kiss.
He put his hand inside her robes, sneaking into her back as he rubbed that area. The lady felt a tremble sprouting in her heart, but she still hardened her heart and bit his lips so hard that she felt traces of blood in her mouth, but the man still didn't stop kissing.
Cao Liangjei hugged her even tighter as he kissed her deeply. His heart hurt knowing she didn't want to kiss him anymore, but what could he do? He was addicted to her presence in his arms. He felt like he couldn't even breathe without her presence anymore.
