Attention, attention, attention!
When I say 'little' over here, I am not implying anything other than Mù Qiānxún's age!
In simple terms, she is underage.
She has not yet reached her 18th birthday, missing it by a mere two months.
Ou Zun shares his bed with her every day, kissing her, flirting with her. When both are left panting and gasping, he reluctantly stops!
Ou Zun lifts her small hand to his lips for a kiss, his voice subdued to a dark whisper, heavily laced with desire. "Little darling ... I am finding it very hard to restrain myself, help me..."
Mù Qiānxún feels somewhat scared of him like this, she senses some bad premonition, but she continues to go along with him.
"How . . . can I help you?"
Ou Zun was waiting for her to say this. Even if she didn't, he would domineeringly make her decision for her.
Then...
He took her small hand and covered it with his burning passion.
In this day and age, everyone matures early, she quickly understands the situation at hand, her face flushing instantaneously as she tries to withdraw her hand.
But he won't allow it.
He closes in on her slightly panicked face, smiling wickedly.
"I think, being two months shy of 18 isn't really a big deal. In the old days, girls were considered of age at 14, and even now, many girls... before 18..."
Unable to take it anymore, Mù Qiānxún interjects hastily, "You promised me..."
That's right, Ou Zun had wanted to do adult things with her since a month ago.
She narrowly escaped by claiming she was underage.
Later, Ou Zun promised her that he would not cross the final line with her while she is still not 18. However, anything else, kissing, fondling, hugging, embracing, all were fair game!
However, there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. She is actually 19 already, her household register was off by a year, but she won't tell Ou Zun!
Ou Zun's voice unexpectedly softened, "I've been accommodating you, you need to help me too, darling..."
Left with no choice, Mù Qiānxún stares helplessly as he uses her hand on himself, she feels terribly wronged. She deliberately turns her face to the side, directing her flushing gaze elsewhere.
His low groans are right next to her ear, she can feel the sweat dropping from his forehead, and can sense the mixture of pain and pleasure in his voice...
Finally, he lets out a low groan.
By the time she registered what might have just happened, her face flushes a mix of red and green.
She hastily pushes him off her, her face showing disgust, "Go and wash up, you're filthy!"
Ou Zun cups her face and places a kiss on her lips, "Where's the filth, you'll come to like it in time!"
She knows he has all sorts of devious thoughts in his mind, she won't argue with him over this. Rushing to get up, she selects a fresh set of clothes and heads towards the bathroom.
If he's restraining himself this much now, is he waiting to devour her the moment she officially turns 18 in two months' time?
Thinking of this makes her shudder.
She is not a conservative person and is willing to accept intimate relationships. However, such things should be between two willing parties, right?
She does not like Ou Zun.
That is a fact.
She's with Ou Zun because he controls her in every way, coercing her. She never wanted to be labeled as his woman. She never wanted to be his fiancé. Even coming to Imperial City, she was unwilling.
Yet, all her unwillingness cannot surpass Ou Zun's stubborn determination.
Just as he says, 'I want you, and so you're mine!'.
