The Birth of a Villainess - Chapter 302

After hours of sweating underneath the sheets and drowning in pŀėȧsurė, Lin Xiaofei woke up with aching limbs and quite sore in between her legs. She couldn’t remember just how many times they did it and how many times she had to run away from that beast of a man who couldn’t satisfy himself and kept on going, but one thing she was sure of was that she will need a few days of rest before she could even do this kind of thing again.

Lin Xiaofei felt her blood rushing to her cheeks as she was embarrassed at her thoughts. To think that the first thing she was worried about was when would she get to do this with Qu Xing Xu again even after today, she just wanted to bury herself in a hole somewhere and hide.

Was she always like this? So shameless and indecent?

Lin Xiaofei wondered as she recalled the things she did to Qu Xing Xu earlier.

No! It was Qu Xing Xu who couldn’t control himself and didn’t listen to her when she said that they should stop and rest early.

Besides, Qu Xing Xu was the one who had to move quite a lot when her strength started to leave her body.

Lin Xiaofei looked beside her. The beast who didn’t stop even when she pleaded to him to stop was peacefully sleeping beside her like a child.

Amongst the men she had met in her past life, no one has ever evoked this kind of emotion from her. No one has ever stirred her so much that she couldn’t imagine a life without him.

“Un.”

“Did I wake you?” Lin Xiaofei asked the man whose arm was on top of her waist. She felt his arm pulling her closer to him so that her back was facing his ċhėst and put his chin on the crook of her neck.

“I was awake since earlier.” Qu Xing Xu told her while he still had his eyes closed.

Since earlier? Doesn’t that mean he hadn’t slept a wink? Lin Xiaofei turned her head to look at him but in their current body position and how tightly he was hugging her like a pillow, she had no way to face him.

“Why didn’t you sleep? You could have rested for a few hours before you start working again.” Lin Xiaofei knew that being a Duke was no joke, and even if Qu Xing Xu might not show it to his face that he had a lot of things to do, but the stack of scrolls in his study when she went there last time was nothing to laugh at.

Snuggling closer to her, Qu Xing Xu mumbled, “I was too distracted to sleep.”

“With what?” It was a harmless question filled with pure curiosity.

The hand that was around her waist suddenly shifted downwards and found a spot for it to rest on top of her legs as she heard him say, “By this. I was awake, hot, and bothered because you were lying nȧkėd next to me. How can I possibly sleep?”

Lin Xiaofei flushed and wanted to hide. Even to this day, she was far from getting used to his shameless way of saying things that could make a monk pray relentlessly to stay away from sin and temptation.

“Where did you found out that I will be sent over to the Northern borders? I just went to the Emperor this morning and asked him to send me over, but it will take a day before it is officially announced?” Qu Xing Xu asked her.

Lin Xiaofei didn’t hide anything from him and answered truthfully, “I went to my maternal family earlier to check on my grandfather’s condition while you were outside. I was about to leave when one of my grandfather’s men said that he saw you enter the palace.”

“But you didn’t know about my plans.”

Lin Xiaofei shook her head. “Of course, I don’t. But I guessed it, call it a woman’s intuition. but I knew you were up to something when you gave me this necklace.”

Qu Xing Xu fell silent as he didn’t think that Lin Xiaofei saw through his plans way before he could think of going over to meet the Emperor and ask him to send him to the northern borders.

“Just from that?”

“No. I also had some ears and eyes in the palace. Do you think I would let them do whatever they want?” Lin Xiaofei stated.

The Imperial Palace was an intricate and complicated place where you could find several twists and turns that were full of traps, and it was also a place for people who have both greater and wicked minds. It was a place where all kinds of sins could be found.

In her past life, Lin Xiaofei lived in the palace for a few months because Yu Fangzhu asked her to look after his mother, who was slowly getting affected by her illness. Lin Xiaofei, in order to impress the prince and his mother, she went blindly and didn’t know that she fell on the traps they laid out on her.

At that time, she was married to Yu Fangzhu for over four weeks and didn’t get to experience all the sweetness one could get after marrying the person they cared for and loved because she had to spend her time with his mother.

But thanks to that, thanks to Yu Fangzhu and his mother, Lin Xiaofei was able to learn how cruel and dark the world was to the people who could offer nothing. And thanks to them, she also learned to install some ears and eyes in the palace and know their plans ahead before it was released to the public.

And in Qu Xing Xu’s case, Lin Xiaofei had to call on this ‘ear’ after hearing her grandfather’s men inform them about his visit to the palace. But strangely enough, she only heard from her informant that the Emperor had sealed an order that he was sending the Duke to the Northern borders, yet her informant didn’t see Qu Xing Xu coming over to the Emperor’s residence nor come out of it.
