Chapter 175 It's your turn to suppress this king
Su Mowan shrugged off her wet shoes, dried her feet, and lay down on the bed. Murong Jing, who was changing his clothes, instructed the maid who was standing guard outside, "Go and fetch a basin of hot water."
Su Mowan had already secretly instructed a maid to fetch menstrual pads and clean clothes. As soon as Murong Jing finished giving the order, the maid came in, carrying clothes and that thing.
Murong Jing caught a glimpse of it and turned his face away.
Su Mowan quickly took the clothes, and only after the maid left the room did she say somewhat awkwardly, "I've changed my clothes, Your Highness, please make yourself at home!"
It means: you exchange yours, I'll exchange mine.
Fortunately, there were several screens in the room. Su Mowan got out of bed and hid behind a screen, ignoring Murong Jing's reaction.
Even with the screen separating them, Su Mowan still felt quite embarrassed. After all, Murong Jing knew what she was doing, and even with her thick skin, she felt a little awkward at this moment.
So Su Mowan quickly and efficiently finished getting ready.
After asking Murong Jing, she crumpled up the stained undergarment and walked towards the door, handing it to the maid waiting outside so she could take care of it.
Just then, the maid who had gone to fetch hot water returned. Su Mowan turned around and found that Murong Jing had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the bed.
Su Mowan blinked. This was too fast!
And how come you were in bed without me making a sound?
Before Su Mowan could finish her exclamation, she heard the person sitting on the edge of the bed say, "Aren't you coming over here?"
His deep eyes stared straight at her.
The maidservant, receiving the signal, placed the basin on the ground and obediently stood aside.
Su Mowan thought to herself, "Is he expecting me to wash his feet?!"
Did she really think that a kiss would make her her 'wife'?
A shy, virgin man can instantly transform into a grandpa?
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow and walked over. Just as she reached Murong Jing, she heard him say in a cold voice, "Take off your shoes."
"……cough."
Su Mowan was immediately ashamed.
After speculating for a while, it turns out they were thinking of her.
She had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed, and as instructed, she kicked off her embroidered shoes and quickly soaked her feet in hot water before Murong Jing could urge her.
However—it really was hot water!
Su Mowan instinctively wanted to pull her foot back, but the thought of Murong Jing 'watching intently' beside her made her hold back.
I could only bite my lip and frown, and bear it.
But these actions had already caught the attention of His Highness the Prince of Qin. Just as Su Mowan had endured for three seconds, her leg was lifted up.
"Have you gone mad from soaking in the river? Didn't you know to pull back when it got hot?"
Murong Jing whispered in her ear.
Su Mowan felt goosebumps rise all over her body.
She was wearing a very thin undergarment. Murong Jing's arm was around the back of her knees, and his other arm was around her back. She could feel the heat from Murong Jing's body coming through her undergarment.
This was Su Mowan's first time having such close and intimate physical contact with a man, excluding the forced kiss, of course.
Similarly, Su Mowan's slightly cold body temperature was transmitted to Murong Jing's hands. He subconsciously wanted to hug her tighter, but when he felt Su Mowan's slight struggle, he loosened his grip a little. At the same time, he saw that her originally fair and delicate feet were scalded red.
Frowning, Murong Jing uttered another word: "Stupid."
"..."
To say she's stupid?
Can't stand it!
Su Mowan struggled slightly, and with the spirit of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water", she said, "What do you know? You have to take advantage of the hot water to relieve the pain!"
In the past, His Highness the Prince of Qin would have exposed such a forced attempt to save face without hesitation, but this time he unusually refrained from doing so.
"That makes some sense, but let's wait for the water to cool down a bit."
"..."
This time, Su Mowan was really embarrassed. When she was against her, she felt that this person was unreasonable, but now that she went along with her, it seemed that her words were not valid.
The maids beside him probably felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer and were about to leave when Murong Jing suddenly bent down and stretched out his fair and slender fingers to test the water temperature!
This action not only stunned the maid, but even Su Mowan found it unbelievable!
Based on her observations over the past two months, Murong Jing has some degree of mysophobia, though not severe, it's definitely not mild either!
So, to the maid's astonishment, Murong Jing gently put Su Mowan's feet back into the basin of water.
When she felt her feet were warm enough and she didn't need to soak them anymore, she pulled her feet back. Murong Jing then gestured to the maid to hand her a cloth to dry her feet.
Su Mowan was about to answer when Murong Jing beat her to it. When she turned her head, she saw Murong Jing staring straight at her, and she became even more uncomfortable.
You should do it yourself, like wiping your feet...
Just as Su Mowan was about to say something, a clean white cloth was stuffed into her hand. She quickly covered her feet and the cloth and shrank to the side.
The maid who was standing to the side was fortunate enough to see her master smile!
Su Mowan quickly dried her feet, and the maid took the basin of water and left. Murong Jing shifted his body as if he was about to speak, but Su Mowan quickly scurried to the inside of the bed, lifted the quilt to cover herself up until only her head was visible, and then closed her eyes.
The action was completed in one smooth motion, so much so that Murong Jing didn't even have time to utter the words he wanted to say.
A faint smile flashed in His Highness the King of Qin's eyes.
This woman can actually be shy... She usually sleeps on the outside, but today she slept on the inside.
Although Su Mowan had her eyes closed, she was on edge. She could feel Murong Jing raise his hand to turn off the light, and then the blanket on her body became heavier.
It was obvious that Murong Jing had covered himself with his own blanket.
Since the lights were off anyway, Su Mowan simply opened her eyes: "Why don't you cover yourself with the blanket? How will you manage—"
The word "办" (ban) stuck in my throat.
Because Murong Jing actually lifted her blanket and crawled in!
As Murong Jing crawled in, his long legs inevitably brushed against hers, sending another shiver down Su Mowan's spine.
"that……"
Su Mowan wanted to protest.
Murong Jing turned sideways, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into his arms, so Su Mowan's next words were blocked by his firm chest.
Murong Jing said, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
"..."
Su Mowan was at a loss.
Although it was indeed warmer, the faint orchid fragrance emanating from Murong Jing filled my breath, so how could I possibly fall asleep!
Not to mention, Murong Jing was holding her tightly in his arms, so tightly that she couldn't breathe!
So Su Mowan simply wrapped her arms around his waist, jumped up a bit, and protested, "How can I sleep with you pressing on me like this? I'm going to suffocate..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jing loosened his grip and lay down.
Su Mowan's nose instantly strayed from the orchid scent. She wanted to try again to move the person further away, but to her surprise, after Murong Jing lay down, he reached out and pulled her close.
"Then how about you pin me down?"
"..."
