The Gilded Cage - Chapter 134

The First Thing You Need To Do Is To Do The Same To Me As You Did To Him? (2)

“Does Your Majesty not like it?” Her face grew red from the suffocation and her words were a little weak, “A’Ning thought that men were like that.”

He looked at her with difficulty and slowly loosened his hand, but his expression remained cold, and his anger was not even half-extinguished.

How could he not like it? Although he was not experienced, his urges prickled at just the mental image, crawling over his body.

But the matter of men and women, after all, was related to love. Not only was his preference important, her feelings were equally important to him.

He could see that she did not like to do such things, if so, why force herself to? There were plenty of ways to make him comfortable and content, and he didn’t want to see her sacrificing at all.

“Whether I like it or not is one thing.” He had anger in his heart and his tone grew colder. He simply stood up and turned his back on her, “I will not force anyone.”

His tall figure blocked most of the candlelight, casting a heavy shadow behind him. Chu Ning was enveloped in it, stunned and speechless.

Previously, she could not tell whether the “like” he said was true or false, whether it was the kind of “like” she thought in her heart, and even then, because of the discouragement she felt in the Crown Prince, she clearly had some doubts, but still subconsciously chose to stop thinking about it.

But now, it seemed that there was no way to avoid it.

She had already left Xiao Yu and was living in the Taiji Palace, and even though she still had the status of a female nun, it was like a thin layer of paper that would break at the slightest poke.

Without the obstacles, she would be less exciting and new to him. If she were just a plaything, it would have been time for him to show her true colors and play with her wantonly.

But he didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so, and even her initiative was rejected.

If this were not true, she does not know what can be considered “true”.

But such a heart, how to respond? She felt confused.

He stood still and did not hear any movement behind him, and his anger was extinguished, so he could not help but turn his head to take a look.

This look, seeing her sitting dumbly on the couch, looking up at him, bewildered and at a loss, as if she were a child who did something wrong but did not know how to apologize.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Kezhi could not help but let out a light sigh, and even the anger in his heart disappeared.

“Why don’t you say anything?” He sat back on the edge of the couch, stroked the hair at her temples, and asked with a frown.

“A’Ning doesn’t know what to say.” She said lowly, her voice soft, not at all offended by his sudden anger just now, “Your Majesty treats A’Ning well, but A’Ning has nothing to repay him with.”

His heart softened even more, reaching out to rub her temples and shook his head, “What I want is just to make you feel comfortable. Where is the energy that you had when you first asked me to help you?”

These words seemed to give her a push, making her gradually regain her usual boldness.

She simply stood up and went behind the screen, removing her clothes one by one, leaving only the outermost piece of the blue lotus-colored Taoist robe.

The bottom of the robe swayed with her steps, blurring her delicate curves.

“You have entered the temple at night. Do you want to stay overnight?” She stopped in front of the case, poured a cup of warm tea, and softly asked, as if she were really a female nun in the Taoist sect.

“Yes, My Lady. Would you like me to stay here for a while?” He looked at her robe with a smile while reaching out to take the cup of tea.

But before she touched the warm rim of the cup, her hand let go and the cup tipped over, the warm water fell on his open robe.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she pretended to exclaim nervously, hurriedly rushing closer and removing the wet clothes.

The two of them got closer and closer, and he simply took her to his lap and whispered in her ear, “This maiden has removed all my clothes. What should I wear?”

He said, tugging at her robe, nibbling on her ear, “Why don’t you lend me this one for a while?”

“Then, so be it…” She bit her lip, blushed shyly, and slowly untied her robe.

His gaze was always fixed on her, and when he saw the robe fall, he pretended to be surprised, “Maiden, you really look like this. You really are not willing to be lonely! Have you been waiting for me to come?”

“Yes, the Taoist gate is cold and silent, I only hope that this gentleman will have mercy…”

He shook his head helplessly and carried her up to the bed.

“If I hadn’t come, how would you survive the long, slow night…”

……

This night was really extraordinarily long.

The few red candles in the room had burned to the end and went out for an unknown period of time before Chu Ning finally fully relaxed.

She put her head on his shoulder with half-closed, teary eyes.

He had been a little different from his usual, consistently strong at the same time, but he also could not stop forcing her to let go of herself, expressing all her feelings, pain, soreness, relief, tension.

She was used to hiding herself. At first she felt awkward and restrained, but under his step-by-step pressure and patient guidance, more and more, she felt the heavy burden in her heart lift a little.

She felt herself being cared for, being pampered, and the pleasure was not just a thin layer of floating end left on the surface of the tea soup.

“Just now, did I make you feel comfortable?” He wrapped his arms around her and once again asked the words that have been asked countless times.

This time, she did not hesitate a bit and nodded, “A’Ning felt very comfortable.”

He was finally satisfied, wiped away the sweat from the corner of her forehead, and whispered, “I will always make you feel comfortable in the future.”
