Chapter 310 Qi Huai's Side Story 4
Qi Huai seemed to only then notice that there was someone else there. He glanced at him expressionlessly, the warning in his eyes was obvious.
With just one glance, Qi Ling was so frightened that he fell silent, shrinking his neck like a turtle hiding its head.
"Your Highness is in high spirits."
His tone was unreadable, and if it weren't for the icy look in his eyes, Yun Fuzhao would have thought he was praising her.
The young man next to Yun Fuzhao was so intimidated by his imposing manner that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Yun Fuzhao, who was closest to him, subconsciously reached out to support him.
Qi Ling's heart pounded wildly. He could clearly feel the air pressure around Qi Huai drop several degrees. He had never seen his uncle so angry before.
"that……"
He was about to say something to comfort himself when he saw Qi Huai walk straight towards Yun Fuzhao. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from that clueless male prostitute who only knew how to seduce women.
"Uncle, wait for me..."
"You stay here." Qi Huai finally spoke his first words to him that day.
Qi Ling stood rooted to the spot, watching in utter bewilderment as he pulled Yun Fuzhao away.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Fuzhao asked with some confusion, "Didn't the Prime Minister leave the capital today?"
Qi Huai remained silent.
Yun Fuzhao's temper flared up, and she tried to pry his hand away, saying, "I order you to let go of me, Qi Huai. Don't forget who you are."
Unsure what touched a nerve with him, Qi Huai pulled her to an empty room, and the moment they entered, he pinned Yun Fuzhao against the wall.
Qi Huai looked down at her. "Tell me my identity, Your Highness."
The distance between the two had exceeded the normal social distance; if Yun Fuzhao moved forward just a little more, she could kiss his chin.
But at this moment she was quite confused and did not notice how ambiguous their relationship was.
“You are the current prime minister, and I am the current princess. No matter how high your official rank is, you have no right to interfere with me.”
Qi Huai's eyelashes trembled, and for some reason, his voice suddenly lowered, "Is that all? I thought Your Highness knew my feelings."
Yun Fuzhao was startled by these words. She stared at him and asked, "What are your intentions?"
Qi Huai straightened his lips, and the two stared at each other silently for a moment. The tense atmosphere had subtly changed at some point.
His gaze moved slowly down from her eyes, finally settling on her lips. He couldn't help but move closer.
Yun Fuzhao sensed what he was about to do and quickly covered her lips with her hand. "I know what you mean. I need to think about it carefully."
Qi Huai gave a soft "hmm," and under her astonished gaze, he leaned closer and kissed the back of her hand.
It was very light and soft, like a feather landing on the back of her hand. Qi Huai was very close, so close that she could see his long, drooping eyelashes.
Yun Fuzhao's heart beat a little faster. She had no resistance to beautiful things, such as at this moment, her gaze couldn't help but fall on the corners of his eyes, which were slightly red from anger.
Qi Huai was more aware of his advantages than she was. After kissing the back of her hand, he pulled away slightly and lifted his eyelids to look at her.
His eyes seemed to hold hooks.
She had an expression that said she would do anything for him.
Yun Fuzhao swallowed hard, completely losing her composure. She lowered her hand and, as if bewitched by a fox spirit, cupped his face and kissed his lips.
Just touch and leave.
Qi Huai's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became a little hoarse as he asked her, "Does Your Highness know what you are doing?"
Yun Fuzhao regretted it as soon as she kissed him. Qi Huai was the current prime minister. She had been so disrespectful to him. Who knew what those old guys would say about her?
"Would you believe me if I said that was my second personality just now?"
"..."
Seeing his silence, Yun Fuzhao added, "This is a way of expressing friendship; good friends would do this."
Qi Huai almost laughed in anger, "Good friends?"
He grabbed her wrist and pinned it against the wall, then lowered his head and sealed her lips with his, saying, "Who wants to be friends with you?"
Unlike the previous light kiss, Qi Huai's kiss was fierce, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
She didn't know how long they kissed, but Yun Fuzhao couldn't take it anymore and punched his chest. Only then did he reluctantly let go of her.
Yun Fuzhao touched her lips; they were very hot and a little swollen.
"Wouldn't this be considered insubordination?"
Qi Huai rested his chin on her head and said slowly, "Does Your Highness intend to punish me?"
Yun Fuzhao pretended to threaten, "I will exterminate your entire family."
"Does Your Highness have to be so cruel to yourself?"
Yun Fuzhao didn't understand his meaning at first, but when she saw his meaningful smile, she realized, "I misjudged you."
She sighed, "I thought the Prime Minister was upright, honest, and a gentleman, untouched by worldly concerns."
“Your Highness,” Qi Huai said softly, “I cannot act like a gentleman when it comes to the person I love.”
*
Since that kiss, the relationship between Yun Fuzhao and Qi Huai has undergone a subtle change.
After expressing his feelings, Qi Huai no longer concealed his love when he looked at her; his eyes were filled with affection.
When the two of them were alone, it was fine, but if their father summoned them, Yun Fuzhao wished he could find a crack in the ground and bury himself in it.
If the Emperor finds out that the two of them are getting together, he might have a heart attack from anger.
Yun Fuzhao knew that he valued Qi Huai highly, considering him a rare talent. Such a promising young man, if she were to bring him into the Princess's residence, the memorials impeaching her would probably circle the palace.
She was filled with trepidation, so when the emperor was there, Yun Fuzhao kept her eyes straight ahead and spoke to Qi Huai in a very formal and measured manner, avoiding speaking whenever possible.
Those who are unaware of the situation might see this and assume that the princess has a problem with the prime minister.
After discussing the important matters, Yun Fuzhao and Qi Huai walked out of the main hall together.
She walked very fast, as if some ferocious beast was behind her.
However, he was eventually caught by Qi Huai. "Your Highness, why are you running away?"
Yun Fuzhao glanced around furtively, then said righteously, "What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging in broad daylight? Let go."
Qi Huai did not comply. Instead, he tightened his clasp and asked in a low voice, "When does Your Highness intend to grant me a title?"
"Shhhhh-"
Yun Fuzhao covered his mouth, "Be careful someone hears you."
Qi Huai was extremely dissatisfied, and with nowhere to vent his emotions, he couldn't help but bite her finger lightly.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think Your Highness was having an affair with me."
You know what, it really does look a bit like it.
"As you know, there are many people in the court who dislike me. I'm just afraid of implicating you. I'll submit this memorial to the emperor along with you later."
Qi Huai narrowed his eyes, something flashed in them but he quickly concealed it, and he suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect Your Highness to care about me so much."
He took her hand and kissed it. "Your Highness, this will only make me like you more and more."
Yun Fuzhao couldn't figure out his thought process. What had she done? Why was she liking him more and more?
However, after spending time together, she has already figured it out.
This guy is totally love-struck. It's understandable that I can't understand what makes him fall for someone. After all, in the eyes of someone in love, even something that's breathing is adorable.
