The prince longs for me every night after mastering thought-reading Chapter 89 - 89 88 A Kiss

Chapter 89: Chapter 88: A Kiss Chapter 89: Chapter 88: A Kiss “The night is deep, and eating too much can lead to indigestion.”

Shen Chuwei had only eaten half her fill; without being fully sated, she couldn’t fall asleep.

She held up a finger and promised, “Your Highness, what if your concubine eats just one more bowl, is that alright?”

Xiao Jinyan flatly refused, “No.”

“…” Shen Chuwei: “Your Highness, do you know why my grandfather lived to a ripe old age?”

Xiao Jinyan asked curiously, “Why?”

Shen Chuwei said seriously, “Because my grandfather never cared how many bowls of rice I ate.”

Xiao Jinyan was stunned.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Shen Chuwei scooped herself another bowl of rice and ate a mouthful with satisfaction.

When Xiao Jinyan saw this, he finally realized what she ant; was she daring to say he was ddling too much?

“Your boldness is growing.”

Shen Chuwei, holding her chopsticks and piling food into her mouth, mumbled unclearly with bulging cheeks, “That ans I’m getting more familiar with Your Highness.”

Xiao Jinyan did not confirm or deny her words.

Shen Chuwei glanced at a dish in the distance whose na she couldn’t recall.

The distance was a stretch for her, so she had to stand to pick up a piece before quickly sitting back down.

There were many dining etiquettes in the palace, and while standing to reach for dishes was allowed, she could only wish her arms were longer.

After tasting the dish and finding it delicious, Shen Chuwei reached for her chopsticks intending to stand again when she saw Xiao Jinyan move the dish right in front of her.

“Eat.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Shen Chuwei didn’t hesitate to help herself to the dish and started eating.

Xiao Jinyan watched Shen Chuwei eat for a while and then sized her up; her waist was still slim, seemingly fragile enough to be broken with one hand.

“How co you don’t gain weight despite eating so much every day?”

Shen Chuwei shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Xiao Jinyan didn’t ask further.

After Shen Chuwei had her fill, she contentedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Liu Xi instructed the maids to clear away the al and then left the bedroom, making sure to close the door securely behind her.

After rinsing her mouth, Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan stand up.

Without waiting for his instruction, she took the initiative, “Your Highness, allow to undress you.”

Xiao Jinyan: “Mhm.”

For Shen Chuwei, undressing had beco second nature, and she peeled off Xiao Jinyan’s garnts effortlessly, leaving just his inner clothes.

After undressing Xiao Jinyan, Shen Chuwei began to strip off her own clothing.

Perhaps it was because of their repeated nights sharing a bed, Xiao Jinyan wasn’t as interested in her as before; there was no longer any hesitation.

Rather, it all felt very natural, just like in Xiyun Pavilion.

Xiao Jinyan sat on the bed, watching Shen Chuwei quickly remove her clothes with swift and decisive movents, not showing any signs of hesitation.

It’s said that n watch won undress with a gaze of admiration, coupled with anticipation.

Xiao Jinyan was no exception.

As Shen Chuwei’s garnts ca off, revealing her thin underclothes, he could clearly see the lotus-pink bead-covered bellyband through the fabric.

This wasn’t his first ti seeing her in lotus-pink, but each ti the visual effect seed slightly different.

At the sa ti, he noticed that she might have gained so weight.

Shen Chuwei finished undressing and looked up at Xiao Jinyan, only to find that he was still sitting, his dark, captivating phoenix eyes fixed on her…

It’s not like he hasn’t seen it all before; what’s there to gaze at?

“Your Highness, aren’t you sleeping?”

Xiao Jinyan realized he had been staring at Shen Chuwei without any reserve.

After all, she was his woman.

What did a few glances matter?

He diverted his gaze and slipped under the covers to lie down.

Only then did Shen Chuwei remove her shoes and climb onto the bed, careful not to touch Xiao Jinyan’s legs, spreading hers a bit more.

Xiao Jinyan watched her carefully, finding her movent increasingly peculiar.

Suddenly, his throat felt dry.

Shen Chuwei climbed in, lifted the covers, and lay down, facing Xiao Jinyan.

She was accustod to this position; it gave her a sense of security.

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei, her clear, bright eyes staring unwaveringly at him, “Are you ready?”

Shen Chuwei was totally confused, “Ready for what?”

Xiao Jinyan breathed out two words, “To serve.”

At the ntion of serving in bed, Shen Chuwei panicked.

Why couldn’t she escape this ordeal?

She thought Xiao Jinyan wasn’t an impatient man; what suddenly sparked his interest?

She mustered a smile, “Your Highness, isn’t it quite late?

Aren’t you tired?”

Xiao Jinyan replied indifferently, “This palace is not tired.”

Shen Chuwei wanted to say that she was very tired!

“Your Highness, your concubine is still young, not suitable for serving in bed.”

Xiao Jinyan looked skeptical, “Then when do you plan on serving?”

Shen Chuwei bargained, “When your concubine is ntally prepared, how about that?”

Xiao Jinyan asked, “Are you so afraid of this palace?”

Shen Chuwei shook her head to signal she wasn’t scared, then nodded slightly, “A bit afraid.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan propped himself up with one hand, allowing him to draw closer to her; he then leaned over, his long fingers lifting her chin.

It was a simple gesture, yet it was enough to set off a whirlwind of thoughts in Shen Chuwei’s mind.

What’s so interesting about my chin?

What exactly does Xiao Jinyan an by this?

Her beautiful eyes fluttered, feeling sowhat overwheld under those glossy phoenix eyes.

Xiao Jinyan, please spare from your charms, alright?

I won’t fall for them.

You have so many won; aren’t they enough to satisfy you?

Seeing Shen Chuwei’s eyes dart about, Xiao Jinyan asked in a low voice, “What are you thinking?”

Xiao Jinyan’s voice was inherently pleasant to hear, and now purposely softened, it had an even more magnetic quality.

“Your concubine was just considering that Your Highness is busying himself day and night, and it must take a toll on your body.

Wouldn’t it be better to rest early?

Look how concerned your concubine is for you, how thoughtful I am!

I’m not like the other won who only know how to exhaust you!”

Xiao Jinyan, on hearing this, felt a familiar tinge of deja vu.

He thought back and rembered her shocking statent by the lotus pond, supposedly for his physical well-being.

“This palace’s body is perfectly healthy.”

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan in utter disbelief.

So many won, yet his health is excellent?

Could that be true?

He didn’t seem to be exaggerating.

“Your Highness is indeed a dragon among n, incomparable to ordinary people.”

As the saying goes, flattery gets you everywhere!

Xiao Jinyan’s face darkened, “…”

Shen Chuwei noticed Xiao Jinyan’s expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

She gulped silently, “Your Highness, shall we rest now?”

Xiao Jinyan scrutinized Shen Chuwei for a while, feeling as if he had been tricked.

He suddenly asked, “Do you like this palace?”

Shen Chuwei considered for a mont and nodded.

Xiao Jinyan persisted, “Is your reluctance to serve in bed because you’re scared?”

Shen Chuwei nodded again.

In modern tis, she would’ve still been considered just a child.

How could she not be frightened?

Xiao Jinyan pursed his lips, seeing her fear, it wasn’t hard to guess what she dreaded.

“Fear won’t help; it’s an experience you’ll have to face sooner or later.”

Xiao Jinyan ant to comfort her, but to Shen Chuwei, it sounded like an insistence that she must go through with it tonight.

She was truly unprepared…

In a stroke of desperation, she tilted her head up and pecked Xiao Jinyan on the cheek.
