The room was silent.

Luo Ning’s clothes were half undone. Her eyes were closed, and her face was tilted to the side. She maintained the appearance of a heroine in distress whose heart was dead and didn’t move at all.

Luo Ning felt that she should be very disgusted by this kind of behavior. A cold and elegant heroine being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous little thief, she should be very resistant even if she couldn’t resist.

But for some reason, her body didn’t listen to her at all. She knew that if she breathed too heavily, the little thief would see the rise and fall of her chest undergarment, but her breathing still became heavier and heavier. She knew that her flushed cheeks would make her look weak, but the heat on her face quickly spread to her neck.

Her throat felt suffocating. She wanted to moan, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

If she really moaned in front of the little thief, she didn’t know how he would tease and laugh at her. She might as well die.

The soreness on her shoulder gradually eased, but the feeling of his touch became clearer and clearer. Luo Ning only felt that each second was a year. She really wanted to kick this little thief away now, but after trying a few times, she gave up, mainly because she didn’t dare.

After witnessing Ye Jingtang’s domineering saber technique just now, she admitted that her body was a little weak and she might not be able to defeat him.

No matter how overboard Ye Jingtang was, he was still using the name of ‘treating her injury’. She wouldn’t be in the right to attack. Besides, if she failed and was held down by this little thief, she would really become a fish on the chopping board.

There was complete silence behind the curtain, and it was unknown how much time passed.

Ye Jingtang observed the wound carefully. Her originally purplish skin had mostly recovered, and there were some bright red blood beads seeping out. She seemed to be fine.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His mouth was bitter, stiff, and numb. It was inconvenient for him to speak, so he didn’t say anything. He grabbed some medicine and applied it to her wound. Then…

His gaze moved down uncontrollably.

Ye Jingtang wasn’t a villain, but he wasn’t a saint either. Just now, he was afraid that something might happen to Luo Ning, so he really didn’t have the mood to look around. Now that everything was fine, and Luo Ning was sitting in front of him so openly without moving, where could he look?

“…”

Ye Jingtang examined her for a moment and forced himself to raise his eyes to look at the peerless face in front of him.

Luo Ning’s face was flushed red, and her eyes were closed as she maintained her aggrieved expression. She didn’t move at all, like a fairy from the Heavenly Palace who had fallen into the hands of a little thief. Some people might feel guilty when they saw this, but others might become even more excited.

It was at this moment that Ye Jingtang realized he was not the former.

He blinked and saw that Luo Ning didn’t have any reaction. She didn’t realize that it was over and was still waiting for him to continue. He felt an inexplicable sense of defeat.

Ye Jingtang deliberated for a moment before quietly leaning over and gently tapping her ruddy lips.

Her lips felt like water, and the soft and fragrant feeling made his heart flutter.

“Uh?!” Luo Ning felt an indescribable sensation, and her entire body trembled. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at Ye Jingtang. Perhaps she hadn’t realized what had just happened, so her eyes were full of shock and confusion.

Ye Jingtang had already retreated and was sitting upright, looking like a skilled and benevolent young physician. His voice was calm and harmonious as he said, “Alright, put your clothes on.”

It was true that Luo Ning was disoriented, but she wasn’t stupid. When her lips were suddenly touched just now, it didn’t feel like a finger…

He just…

That was my first kiss!

Luo Ning’s eyes were full of disbelief, shame, and anger. She raised her hand and pulled out the soft sword at her waist.

Clang!

Ye Jingtang hurriedly backed away and raised his hands. “Huh?! Heroine Luo, what are you doing? Are you burning the bridge after crossing it?”

“You!” Luo Ning’s face flushed red as she pointed her sword at Ye Jingtang. “Did… did you just kiss me?”

Ye Jingtang waved his hands. “No, no, what nonsense are you saying…”

Luo Ning was enraged by this little thief who was lying through his teeth. She raised her sword to stab him.

Before she even moved, Ye Jingtang’s gaze darkened, and he pressed her down first. “Heroine Luo, if you want to stab me with your sword, I really won’t be gentlemanly anymore.”

Being pressed down, Luo Ning realized that her body was a little limp and couldn’t exert much strength. What a tyrannical poison. It’s already been detoxified, but it still has the effect of Soft Bone Fragrance…

When Luo Ning thought of this, her burning eyes weakened slightly.

Perhaps she was afraid that this daring little thief would really take advantage of the situation to do something to her. After gritting her teeth for a long time, she suppressed the raging waves in her heart and pretended to be an ice beauty. “Don’t think I don’t know what you just did. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off!”

Ye Jingtang nodded repeatedly and helped her pull up her clothes to cover her upper body. “Alright, there won’t be a next time.”

Luo Ning’s eyelashes were trembling. She got up, turned her back to Ye Jingtang, and silently fixed her clothes. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and touched her warm lips. Who knew what she was thinking, but her eyes turned red again.

Ye Jingtang acted as if nothing had happened. He thought for a moment and asked casually, “Heroine Luo, are you married or not?”

“I’m married! How many times do you want me to say it?”

“Then, why are you always so ambiguous with me…”

Huh?! Luo Ning was stunned by these words. She turned around and said with difficulty, “Who’s ambiguous with you? You’re the one who keeps pushing your luck and using those methods to bully women. You even twist your words to deny things…”

“Just now, you risked your life to save me and let me treat your injury…”

“Who risked their life? Who asked you to treat my injury?”

After fully clothing herself, Luo Ning felt a sense of security. Her aura rose as she said with a frosty face, “Was I dead? Or was I unconscious and unable to take care of myself? I shouldn’t have cared about you, you little thief! I took the risk to save you and asked you to bring me back to Double Osmanthus Alley, but you carried me here without a care and then took advantage of me. Isn’t this repaying kindness with ingratitude?”
